Lawyers help 150 families set Thanksgiving table
By Traci Chapman
One hundred fifty Mustang families will have a turkey to put on their Thanksgiving table, thanks to Denton Law Firm.
Law office staff, along with Denton family members and an energized dancing turkey, worked with Mustang firefighters to brave the cold Monday and hand out turkeys as part of Lawyers Fighting Hunger. It was the first time the holiday effort – also undertaken in El Reno, Oklahoma City, Norman and Tulsa – was made available to local families, Denton said.
The firm participated in last year's El Reno event and staff members got the notion a need also existed in Mustang, Denton said.
"We wanted to bring the effort closer to home," he said.
Karen Jacobs, administrator of Oklahoma Department of Human Services Office of Community and Faith Engagement, said organizers hoped to hand out 5,000 turkeys in the five communities this week.
In addition to handing out Thanksgiving turkeys, firefighters and law office staff served hamburgers and hot dogs, as a steady stream of people came to Mustang Fire Department to pick up their meal mainstay. The partnership was deemed a success, and plans for next year were already on the table, officials said.
"This is a fine example of community leaders working together for a worthy cause," Denton said.

Suits Review: The Ropeby Chandel Charles at . Comments
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought Darby's ousting was simply a moment of opportunity. But something in the way it all went down seemed to me like "Endgame." And a well orchestrated one at that!
Should we start taking bets as to how long it will be before Edward Darby's name is removed from that coveted door?
If Jessica had anything to do with it, I'm sure it would have been removed long ago. Yet as any good chess player knows, moving the right pieces takes time. And if there's anything we've learned about Jessica Pearson over the years, it's that she's a master chess player with only one blind spot: Harvey.
Saying I knew this was coming would be an understatement. I knew it from the minute she put Harvey's name on the door. But even in the season premiere, "The Arrangement" - when she and Darby had the terse but true discussion about the formalities of having both of their names on the letterhead with Pearson first - something about this merger wasn't right. Unfortunately for Jessica, Harvey knew it.
I've said before that Jessica would have been much better off discussing with Harvey the reasons she chose to merge, especially since she's now admittedly called him family. I think he would have understood that Jessica needed to do what she had to in order to save the firm and get herself out of it later, the same advice she gave Ava Hessington in "Shadow of a Doubt."
I love, though, that Jessica working herself out of the situation was as epic and brutal as the circumstances that forced her to accept in the first place. Not only did she get him revoked from practicing law in the U.S., she managed to use not only Harvey, but opposing counsel (Cameron Dennis) to do it. Darby made it to the end of his rope, and Jessica made sure there was nothing left for him to hold onto.
Clearly the previews from next week prove that this re-assertion of power is far from secured, but it's a possibility now where it wasn't before. About time the queen returned to her thrown.
And that's exactly where we found Donna this week after her heartbreaking split with the murderous Stephen Huntley. There are fewer things more dangerous than a woman scorned. Multiply that by infinity when that woman is Donna. She was out for him from the beginning, taking pleasure in his termination and finally his arrest. I was proud of her, and I'm not ashamed to admit it! That little smirk after he was taken away in handcuffs was priceless.
I was a little ashamed, however, at Louis in his conduct towards Harold. While wildly entertaining, I do feel like Harold has been through quite enough in the recent year. Having Louis as opposing counsel, and a hostile one at that, was probably more than Harold could have bargained for. I will admit that Harold held his own much better than he did while still an associate. Yet in the end, he was no match for Louis.
Which is why I was also insanely proud that Louis put on his big boy pants and accepted the offer Harold proposed for his client after Rachel talked him down. Clearly this was more about Louis getting a victory over the associate he saw as a glaring failure in the course of his mentorship than something he was passionate about settling for his client. I've really enjoyed seeing Rachel become a vocal conscience for Louis that's forced him to take a step back on more than one occasion to assess his behavior.
Another individual I've seen assessing, and perhaps even reassessing, has been Harvey. Weird, I know, seeing as Harvey is usually chomping at the bit to take on old enemies, typically only giving them one chance to prove his preconceptions either right or wrong.
Despite the fact that Harvey and Cameron Dennis have a history that once was very amicable, the more recent state of their relationship possessed no signs of reconciliation. Yet the fact that the deal Harvey brokered with Dennis could include a clause that banned Darby from practicing law in the U.S. was only the first thing that shocked me about the last few minutes of that episode. There was also the fact that Harvey was operating on the assumption that what Dennis really wanted to do was put the bad guy away, and wouldn't put the wrong person in jail again - and Harvey was right.
Even though Cameron had already thrown Harvey under the bus when Stephen was on the stand during the opening phases of Ava's trial, Harvey still believed that given proper incentive he could get him to really think and change his mind. In a strange, and perhaps not surprising way, Cameron reminds of me of Harvey in that he is also about getting the bad guy and the right guy. I really saw Harvey's trying to get Cameron on board with this plan as a way of convincing himself that he, much like Cameron seemed in this case, could be redeemed. Instead of scum, Dennis was a team player. It was about getting the bad guy, just like old times. Then again, it could have just been about getting Darby out of the picture, and that would have been simple enough for me.
Only two episodes left, Suitors! With Darby out, will Harvey keep his name on the door, or will he decide it's too much?

When Ava slapped Darby, Jessica was in the background with a look that said "Oh yeah I owe Harvey one of those". It would do for her what Harvey hitting Steven did for him -clear the air.
Glad they reconciled (she still owes him one)lol.
Good show-Great actress (Gina).
I seriously hope that when Rachel gets her Degree at Standford (right?) she will be the associate of Louis. and those last moments of Donna&Harvey I was hoping something would happen, Hopefully in the summer finale
The question of Darby's name coming off the firm has been telegraphed if you read the Phelps cameo news article - The firm name is missing his name while Harvey's name is still there.
Good Ep - surprised Stephen was brought to justice so quickly. Donna & Harv's relationship should stay platonic - much more fun to watch the interesting banter between them and imagine what-if.
Glad Rachel brought Lewis to his senses about Harold.
Not so fast - from the appearance of next week's episode - Darby is NOT going to leave willingly - can't wait!
these reviews here keep getting worse...
Is this just mid season ender in 2 weeks ..... or the end of the season.......doesn't seem to me like very many episodes have aired?
It is throne not thrown. The former is a noun, the latter a verb.o
I did! I was sure they were going to get together when I saw her waiting for him - a great show last night -
Anyone else think that in the last few minutes by the car that something would happen between Harvey and Donna?!?! Fantastic episode as always :)

Great news for anyone that was hit with the "Incorrect photos are displayed after switching away from a Publish Collection" bug in Lightroom. Last night, Adobe announced the availability of Lightroom 5.3 Release Candidate – it includes a fix for this super annoying Publish Service issue, which made working in Lightroom especially difficult when browsing away from Photosmith User Collections. For example, when attempting to browse a folder after looking at a Photosmith User Collection in our Lightroom Publish Service, no photos will be displayed in the Library's grid view. The only fix was to restart Lightroom. Lightroom 5.3RC fixes all that.
We've have been testing Lr 5.3RC for a few hours this morning, and everything appears to work very well with Photosmith sync. We suggest that all Photosmith users affected by the Publish Service bug upgrade as soon as possible.
As with any update (and especially Release Candidates), make sure you backup your Lightroom catalog before upgrading.
Let us (and other users) know how the update works for you over on our User Forums: forums.photosmithapp.com.
Below is a list of all bugfixes which were included in this release, emphasis ours:
- Issues when upgrading catalog from previous versions of Lightroom.
- Incorrect photos are displayed after switching away from a Publish Collection.
- Catalog optimization did not finish, and was not optimizing the catalog
- Feather of clone spots is set to 0 after upgrading catalog to Lightroom 5.
- Auto White Balance settings are not saved to Snapshots.
- Sony 18-55mm lens is detected as the Hasselblad 18-55mm lens for lens correction.
- Increased Update Spot Removal history steps when in Before and After view.
- Slideshows start playing automatically even when the Manual Slideshow option is enabled.
- Video playback stops when dragging on the scrubber.
- Errors when publishing photos to Flickr through the Publish Service.
- Option + drag on Edit Pin behavior is functioning incorrectly.
- Black border appears around the exported slideshow video.
- Catalog containing images processed with PV2003 were adding a post-crop vignette when catalog upgraded to Lightroom 5.
- Pressing the "Reset" button while holding down the Shift key caused Lightroom to exit abruptly.
- Output Sharpening and Noise Reduction were not applied to exported images that were resized to less than 1/3 of the original image size.
- The Esc key did not exit the slideshow after right clicking screen with mouse during slideshow playing.
- Import dialog remained blank for folders that contain PNG files with XMP sidecars.
- Metadata panel displayed incorrect information after modifying published photo. Please note that this only occurred when metadata was changed after the photo was published.

We are very happy to announce the release of Photosmith for iPad version 3.0.2. This is a maintenance release only, and fixes the crashing many users experienced after upgrading to iOS 7, especially when swiping through photos in Loupe and Fulllscreen Views.
Photosmith uses caching to help increase performance. We cache a number of things, but in particular, we keep photos in memory so scrolling and movement between large images is more responsive. For example, if you just viewed a photo, then swiped to look at another photo, there shouldn't be any reason to wait for the previous photo to load again if you swipe back to it – simply pull it out of the already-rendered cache if needed. It only makes sense, right?
To do this, we made use of iOS's built-in NSCache for some of our photo caching needs. NSCache is handy because iOS manages what is kept in cache automatically, discarding anything that it doesn't have room for anymore. This is especially handy when writing code that isn't dependent upon a particular piece of hardware – available RAM varies from around 35MB on an iPad 1 to several hundred megabytes on the iPad 4; we can simply cache as many photos as necessary, and if iOS decides there isn't enough memory, it will handily remove it from the cache for us.
Except… that's not what happens in iOS 7. For reasons we can't quite explain, this appears to no longer be the behavior. There were no announcements in the iOS 7 pre-release notes (or even in the released SDK documentation) and we didn't run into the issue while testing beta versions of iOS 7. And this is why things will work for a while and then crash unexpectedly – NSCache is getting filled up, and iOS 7 is no longer removing photos as it did in the past when cache memory got full.
In Photosmith for iPad version 3.0.2, we still use NSCache, but added some code so that for users running iOS 7, the total number of entries was limited, thereby having a somewhat similar (though not quite as optimal) effect.
Users with iOS 6 (or earlier) will see no difference, as our method of handling this caching issue only applies to iOS 7. Also, there are no updates to our Lightroom plugin at this time.
We are very interested in hearing your thoughts on Photosmith performance in iOS 7 – please drop us a note over on our User Forums at http://forums.photosmithapp.com.
Photosmith 3.0.2 will be become available today as a free update in the App Store for your country – standard delays may apply as the update propagates through Apple's servers worldwide.

One of the more challenging aspects of Photosmith is the level of integration necessary with other products; most notably Apple iOS and Adobe Lightroom. So, when both Apple pushes a new major updates to iOS and Adobe releases an incremental (but significant) update to Lightroom within a day of each other, it means some extra work for us.
But the betas, what about the betas?
To be sure, both Apple and Adobe are very good about getting early pre-release versions of their software to developers, called beta releases. That said, we have found that testing anything except ship-ready public releases (nicknamed RTM or GM in tech lingo) to be an effort in futility. Apple frequently releases four or more beta versions of iOS to developers prior to the official "GM" release. Things can and do change during the beta period and the final GM release, and we have found ourselves chasing beta ghost bugs – bugs that only appear in beta, but are ironed out in time for the GM. We are now avoiding this unnecessary timesuck by only validating (and coding changes for if necessary) GM releases.
Apple pushed the GM of iOS 7 to developers about a week prior to its public release on September 18. This gave us roughly 168 hours to kick the tires, and to check in with our usual group of users who live on the bleeding edge of technology. Version 5.2 of Lightroom was released by Adobe without a pre-released GM version; 5.2 lived as a public beta version, but many bugs, especially with Publish Collections, were fixed in the final 5.2.
OK, cut to the chase!
Here's where we are at: The current public version of Photosmith for iPad, v3.0.1, plays very well with Lightroom 5.2. As mentioned previously, there were a number of bug fixes in 5.2 public which were not part of the 5.2 beta, so any countermeasures we might have tried to work around the Publish Service bugs would have been wasted effort. And if we may say, the Adobe engineers did a really great job of addressing the Publish Service bugs; we can't find any trace!
As for iOS 7, Photosmith plays well, with one caveat: Swiping between photos in Loupe and Fullscreen Views can cause the app to crash in certain situations. No metadata or other information is ever lost, and when you restart Photosmith, your viewing position should be retained. It's just a (really annoying) 5-7 second hiccup.
The cause of the swipe crash bug actually has its roots quite a ways back, but iOS 6 masked it fairly well. Unless swiping between photos very rapidly (3-5 per second for many seconds), the bug only manifested itself for a handful (four that we know of) users in "normal" use. It's a memory management thing, and we're working towards a fix. The crash actually occurs when a background process begins; think fetching mail or some other system-level event; this is why it's a bug for everyone.
This and a few other more significant bugs, along with native camera raw photo processing, will be front-and-center in the forthcoming Photosmith for iPad version 3.1.
Apologies for the lateness of this blog post; each member of the Photosmith Team is busy with many independent projects at the moment. Since Photoshop World a couple of weeks ago, we have been in divide and conquer mode.

Greetings from Photoshop World in Las Vegas! We're well into day three of "the big show" and have met an amazing number incredibly enthusiastic new and existing users of Photosmith for iPad.
We're really excited to take the wraps off of what we've been working on over the past few months: Native camera raw processing right in Photosmith! This will mean full resolution support for camera raw formats previously unsupported in Apple's iOS, and will be the stepping stone for the next phase of Photosmith development.
Don't worry, we're still committed to refining and enhancing existing features, and are continuing to streamline existing digital photography workflows – announcements outlining our efforts to make Lightroom sync even more robust are forthcoming.
We will be at our booth, #434, for another hour – please stop by and say hello if you haven't already.
Below is our press release:
Photoshop World – Las Vegas, NV – Friday, September 6, 2013 – C Squared Enterprises, developer of Photosmith for iPad, announced today that it will include native camera raw processing in its photography app for Apple's iPad.
Native camera raw rendering, which unlocks full-resolution viewing of photos in Photosmith for iPad, is being demonstrated in booth #434, at Photoshop World in Las Vegas September 6, 2013.
"Although Apple's iOS offers compatibility for viewing certain more-popular camera raw files on iPad, there are some pretty significant gaps, especially when working with older and narrowly-supported digital cameras like Leica," said Chris Horne, Co-Developer of C Squared. "By creating our own camera raw rendering engine, we are able to support rendering of far more cameras, and offer never-before seen compatibility on iPad for both old and brand new cameras."
"This is really exciting! We're adding support for over ten previously unsupported camera raw file types covering hundreds of camera models, all of which can now be viewed in full resolution on iPad," said Mike Wren, C Squared spokesman and Chief User Advocate. "iPad users will no longer need to rely on, and wait for Apple to push an iOS update to unlock support for brand new cameras. This also opens up a tremendous number of possibilities for photo processing in future versions of Photosmith, right on the iPad."
Native camera raw rendering is currently undergoing final testing and will be be available in the next version as a free update for all current users. A complete compatibility list of supported cameras will be posted on Photosmith's website at www.photosmithapp.com.
C Squared released Photosmith version 3 in April, 2013 to universally positive reviews, both in Apple's App Store and in the tech media. Charlie Sorrel of the popular blog Cult of Mac said in a recent review, "The interface actually makes [adding keyword tags] easier to do in Photosmith than in Lightroom. You can quickly create new tags, make trees or hierarchical tags (People>The Lady) and apply tags to multiple photos at once."
Photosmith 3 is a free update for all existing users, and is available for a one-time cost of $19.99, or the equivalent local currency.

This summer has been really exciting for us! With the release of Photosmith 3 for iPad and our free Lightroom plugin, we have received an overwhelming amount of praise in Apple's App Store and in the tech media for our improved stability and streamlined workflow.
Photosmith remains the ONLY iPad solution for syncing photos and metadata with Adobe Lightroom, and we're extremely thankful for all the kind words and encouragement.
In fact, we're so thrilled with the feedback, we're taking the show on the road to Photoshop World in Las Vegas September 4-6, 2013. Please drop us a note in our user forums if you'll be there and would like to meet up.
Woah, what did you say? Forums?
Yes, we are very happy to take the wraps off the Photosmith Forums at forums.photosmithapp.com – a place where the community of Photosmith users can interact with each other, and with us. By expanding our policy of transparency to include user support and feedback, we think everyone will benefit. So please, stop by the new forums, register for a free account and help us take the bubblewrap off, say hello, and help each other out.
The future is bright for Photosmith, due in no small part to the support of our wonderful user community. Thank you!

Business Highlights
By The Associated Press
US economy gets lift from housing, other tailwinds
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ The U.S. economy is a study in contrasts.The housing, banking and auto industries are surging back to health and that has helped push the stock market to a five-year peak. Higher prices for homes and stocks tend to make people feel wealthier and spend more. Yet unemployment remains high and hiring modest. The end of a Social Security tax cut is shrinking already flat pay. Federal budget fights have put businesses and consumers on edge. Balanced between those tailwinds and headwinds, the economy is struggling to accelerate. By the end of this year, though, many analysts think the tailwinds will succeed in boosting growth and fueling a more robust economy in 2014. ___ They're back: J. C. Penney adds sales NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ J.C. Penney is bringing back sales. The struggling department store chain this week will begin adding back some of the hundreds of sales it ditched last year in hopes of luring shoppers who were turned off when the discounts disappeared, CEO Ron Johnson told The Associated Press. Penney also plans to add price tags or signs for more than half of its merchandise to show customers how much they're saving by shopping at the chain â¿¿ a strategy used by a few other retailers. For store branded items such as Arizona, Penney will show comparison prices from competitors. The moves are a reversal for Penney on the eve of the one-year anniversary when it vowed to almost completely get rid of the sales that Americans covet but that cut into a store's profits. The idea was to offer everyday low prices that customers could count on rather than the nearly 600 fleeting discounts, coupons and sales it once offered. ___

The Miracle
Full disclosure: After writing on my Facebook page that the Red Sox basically made me sick, I put my 2-year-old son to bed at 10 p.m., with Boston trailing the #$#(@*## Rays 7-0.
We read two books and were singing his favorite songs ("Oh My Darling Clementine" is his current fave).
At around midnight, my wife knocked on the door and told me it was now 7-6 "and the Red Sox have the tying run at second."
She said "You go watch. I'll put him to bed."
(This is filed under Excellent Wife status).
So I did. I caught up with Coco Crisp batting with two outs in the eighth and the tying run at second, and I saw Crisp line a single to right. Then I saw J.D. "Too Good To Be" Drew win the game in the bottom of the ninth.
Do you believe in miracles? Yessssss.
Anything can happen now. Tampa still has the inside track, but the Rays have to be stunned. And if Boston somehow wins Game 6, look out.
Thanks to my wonderful wife Kerri for making this possible, and I apologize to the Red Sox for ever doubting them!

Reassuranceby Caleb Troy
Protect your iPhone with a one-piece, impact resistant, flexible plastic hard case featuring an extremely slim profile. Simply snap the case onto your iPhone for solid protection and direct access to all device features.
Thanks Matt Allen! Unfortunately for this specific piece, resizing it that large would ruin the quality of the print and not print well, as I have tried for other clients. The safest bet is the largest available size of stretched canvas this is in here on society6!
Absolutely wonderful both vibrant tones and yet subtle gradients. Looks wonderful as a clock, would look even better hanging on someone's wall!

Where to Find the Best Food in Super Bowl Village
Sporting events generally aren't places where you count on finding healthy snacks readily available. Lucas Oil Stadium does have some "real food" (I don't know if healthy really applies) beyond nachos and hot dogs, so I was hopeful for real options when the Super Bowl came to Indianapolis. While there was not much variety within the Super Bowl Village itself, you will not have to wander far to find something that feels more like a meal than a snack.
The Super Bowl Village, stretching from the Indiana Convention Center to the Bankers Life Fieldhouse (formerly the Conseco Fieldhouse) has plenty of concession stands offering chicken tenders, steak burgers, hot dogs, french fries, soft pretzels, Sweeties gourmet treats, Frito Lay chips, candy, hot cider, coffee, hot chocolate, cappuccino, Gatorade, water, and Pepsi products.
Inside the Indiana Convention Center, which houses the NFL Experience, additional options include Lipton tea, fruit juice, popcorn, whole fresh fruit, Lay's Potato Chips, Snickers, M&M's, yogurt, turkey caesar sandwiches, Italian grinder sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches, grilled veggie sandwiches, chicken caesar salad, tossed garden salad. burgers, BBQ pork sandwiches, and tenderloin sandwiches.
Deeper in the NFL Experience, near the memorabilia show and autograph stage, Pepsi Max and Doritos each has an exhibit with free samples, contests, and games. Considering the long lines seen in the NFL Play 60 Game Zone, attendees could have very positive feelings about these exhibits.
Luckily, not far from there in the maze of the NFL Experience, the "Sandwich Zone" offers carved turkey and carved beef for sandwiches with several topping options. They also have candy, soda, water, Gatorade, and Lipton Tea.

Bringing Legal Aid to Veterans - Part 2
In yesterday's post we wrote about the work Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps Legal Fellow Lauren Peach is doing to bring legal aide to at-risk veterans in Northwest Washington State. Recently, Lauren ran a mobile legal clinic (with the help of other Equal Justice Works Fellows, law students, and local attorneys), bringing legal services to veterans around the region. Lauren and Leo, a law school volunteer and veteran, brought the mobile clinics to four different sites over the course of a week.
Prior to starting out, all of the participants received training specific to the legal needs of veterans, including a manual that Lauren and Leo had put together with guidance for serving veterans and providing them with legal assistance in the state of Washington. There was a wide array of different skill sets; many of the lawyers were specialized for veteran's work, but the group included one Fellow whose primary area of expertise is housing and one with practice doing pro bono coordination.
Out at the clinics, the group would do basic intake for veterans who had signed up for an appointment, as well as a few drop-ins. Issues that arose ranged from driver's license suspensions and minor criminal charges to accessing VA benefits and establishing a will. At the end of each day, Lauren went through all the intake forms to see if the veteran would receive a referral for an attorney or whether her host organization, Northwest Justice Project would take the client on, or if there was no action needed.
This exercise illustrates a different model of bringing legal services to veterans; one which we hope is replicated in other parts of the country. Equal Justice Works has a goal of expanding the number of Fellows across the country who are working with veterans. Stay tuned for more stories of their work.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to vent about this...Hope I don't offend anyone, but this really gets to me.
I really HATE when I hear men or women bashing their kids other parent to anyone who will listen. Yes, I know they're frustrated and want to vent and everyone needs that. However, can't they vent to people who don't work around their child? People who they aren't just meeting for the first time, who aren't their kid's friends mom, dad, teacher, or a relative such as grandparents, aunts or uncles etc.? All these people are probably in close proximity to the man or woman doing the bashing and rumors about what a jerk the childs father or mother is will circulate since one of the parents is spreading gossip around. How can this be any good? When the child's young maybe this won't affect them as much, but as they get older having everyone know or think one or both of your parents are jerks or know of personal conflicts between their parents is hurtful.
Remember even if the person in question is horrible YOU still chose him or her and made a baby. Excuses like they tricked me into thinking they were a good person don't fly with me much. Yes, some people are master manipulators and do trick trusting people who find out to late. However, I would say this was more the exception. Usually there are signs the person was a jerk, but these signs get overlooked or we make excuses for them since we're "in love". I'm a strong believer that unless you suffered head trauma, are on drugs, or have a mental illness personality doesn't change. So, be careful who you're with sometimes what you see is what you get so don't ignore bad behavior or make excuses for it.
If you need to vent maybe talking to a close friend, online support group or a trusted family member or therapist can help. Just randomly throwing out slurs about your kids mom/or dad just hurts your kid and make you look bad. Take responsibility. You made a bad choice in a partner. It happens. However, they're still your kids other parent and it hurts when a parent or other person you love and care about thinks so low of someone which you are a part of. I speak from experience. Every time I use to hear my mom say what a bastard she thought my dad was I wanted to yell at her "then why the hell did you sleep with him? Why didn't you find a better person to be my dad? Didn't you know him at all?" I would be so mad at her for all the things she would say about him. As I got older I realized part of the reason she was bashing him was she was trying to gain sympathy for herself. That's why she would randomly tell strangers, or anybody else who would listen how my dad screwed her over. She didn't want to take any responsibility. Instead of just summing it up as a bad decision, and trying to make the most of bad mistakes without bashing my father, and making me feel bad she chose to play victim!
Anyway, that's my rant. I just wanted to vent after meeting a friends new girlfriend a couple of days ago. She just met me and my husband and within 15 minutes was already telling us how she thought her four year old sons dad was a psychopath. To me this was a total turn off. I was polite to her and tried to change the subject. My friend already knows how I feel about that type of thing. Called me the next day to tell me that though she probably shouldn't have brought up the subject with people she just met it's ok because the boy's father deserved it since he won't even claim his own son. He went on to tell me how she sacrificed so much for the guy. He lost his job and had nowhere to live. So, she asked if he could live with her and her family. They said no because they thought he was a jerk so she moved into his car and lived like a homeless person just to be with him. She eventually got pregnant had to work, and move in with her parents, again, with him. She apparently Stayed in the relationship for six years then eventually broke up. After 4 months she is dating my friend and calling her ex a psychopath. Sorry, but the only one I feel sorry for is the kid.
Hope I didn't offend anyone. Just wanted to vent.

One of the things that government planners tend to ignore (when devising new ways to take our money) is human action. Rather, they ignore it when reporting the projected consequences of their tax plans. For every new tax there is a corresponding report detailing how much extra 'revenue' the government is going to take in and how it will avert certain disaster. These reports are built on certain assumptions that the politicians craft to insure said reports are filled with favorable results.
Unfortunately, these assumptions are generally erroneous. Erroneous might be a bit tame; blatantly false is probably a better term. If the plan is to tax a certain product, e.g. soda, the assumption is made that people will continue to purchase soda in the same volumes. Obviously this is a poor assumption. Levying taxes on soda will raise the price and that higher price will result in decreased consumption. If the consumption of soda decreases the actual revenue generated by the new tax can't match the amount projected using false assumptions about that consumption. Taxes themselves are a form of consumption. The product of taxes is government. The obvious difference between soda and government: you can choose not to buy soda.
Another dangerous assumption used by politicians (particularly Progressive politicians) is that income taxes don't affect the behavior of citizens. For the middle class, income taxes reduce the amount that can be saved or spent on consumption. For the oft maligned rich, the taxes will alter investment and saving behavior. If the taxes become too onerous, those in the upper brackets will either move their money out of the country or stop producing as much and drop into a lower tax bracket. None of these results are good for anyone. Decreased consumption and saving leads to decreased demand which, in turn, leads to decreased production of goods. The rich moving their money results in less investment, which will also lead to decreased production.
The safest assumption we can make as citizens is that the government isn't telling us the whole story or, in some cases, is flagrantly lying to us. Politicians get away with travesties like this because we let them. We continue to elect people who deliberately lie to us. If we want to end the dishonesty we must question everything. We must force politicians to tell the truth. It isn't in their nature to do so otherwise.

I want to start by saying that i am a die hard cowboys fan since
about the age of 7 years old and grew up on Tom Landry's Cowboys and saw
the end of his era and it was bad but he knew and the NFL free agency
changed a lot during his tenure and when they were bad he knew it but
this Jason Garrett and his coaching staff say the same thing after every
game and act as if their is no need to push the panic button , its like
no loss is a big deal and you see the same thing the week before ,
their are no demotions or trades or telling the media that players jobs
are on the line like Jimmy Johnson would. I just finished watching his
press conference and he said the Cowboys need to play better and that
they will work on it ? work on what ? i watched one play where Brandon
Carr the Cornerback came right up to a Chicago Bears ball carrier and i
can not describe what it was he attempted to do but it looked like a
fake tackle, he came right up to the ball carrier and it looked like
kind of a push and then as ball carrier kept running up the sideline
like he attempted to tackle or grab at air , the ball carrier preceded
to gain another 12 to 15 yards . The offense played well and looked like
they were going to have a great game but once the Bears went down the
field with 50 seconds left before halftime and scored a touchdown you
could sense this game was over especially with how clueless the Cowboys
coaches seem to be .

The U.S. military, rogue soldiers and broken lives in Africa
By Mark P. Fancher
Special to Michigan Citizen
When President George W. Bush contemplated the invasion of Iraq, then U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell warned him that an armed intervention that would make conditions in that country worse would be held to the Pottery Barn Rule: "If you break it, you own it." This caveat was essentially ignored by President Bush in Iraq, and since that time, the U.S. military establishment has, to its detriment, disregarded that warning in Africa.
The U.S. faces a continuing dilemma in Africa. On the one hand, it desperately wants to ensure that U.S.-based corporations have access to not only the continent's oil but also to a wide variety of minerals and metals. These include: coltan (an essential component of cell phones, laptops and other electronic devices), gold, tin, tungsten and other resources that are vital to an ever-growing electronics industry, all of which can be found in abundance in the Democratic Republic of Congo. On the other hand, the U.S. knows that against a historical backdrop of the slave trade, colonialism and CIA crimes in Africa, it would be a diplomatic and political fiasco to order U.S. troops into Africa for the express purpose of taking control of natural resources.
The U.S. has attempted to avoid direct military engagement by using African proxies. Through U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and other military projects, African soldiers have been trained and indoctrinated to carry out missions that are in the interest of U.S. foreign policy, leaving the U.S. military with the option of claiming non-involvement. It is a high risk strategy because a significant number of U.S.-trained African soldiers have gone rogue.
In Mali, a U.S.-trained military officer led a coup that destabilized not only Mali but significant portions of the surrounding region. Even more disturbing, however, are recent reports that U.S.-trained members of Congo's military have been accused by the United Nations of mass rape. It is claimed that at least 126 women were raped by members of Congo's army as they fled from a battle with a rebel group called "M23."
Reuters news service quoted a U.N. official as saying: "We do know in the U.N. which are the two battalions [involved in the rapes]. Interestingly, one of them was trained by the Americans — that's what the American ambassador himself told me." AFRICOM reportedly acknowledged that the U.S. trained a Congolese light infantry battalion in 2010.
Reports say that at the time of the assaults, the soldiers were leaderless, embarrassed and angry about having been defeated by M23, and they descended into a drunken rampage of killing, rape and looting. In the wake of the allegations, a Congolese soldier stepped forward to confess his guilt to the British press. He said: "Twenty-five of us gathered together and said we should rape 10 women each, and we did it. I've raped 53 women. And children of five or six years old."
A woman assaulted by three soldiers said: "My head is still not right. I thought I had AIDS, and now my husband mocks me. He calls me the wife of a soldier; he has rejected me."
If a shopper can't pay for the pottery he breaks, he should stay out of the Pottery Barn. Because the U.S. military would claim that it can't afford to destroy so many innocent African lives, it should simply stay out of Africa.

Police add patrols at bus stop after man tries twice to lure girl into his car
Girl, 16, reports man followed her in car twice
INDIANAPOLIS - Police pledged to step up patrols in an east Indianapolis neighborhood after two separate attempts to lure a 16-year-old girl into a man's car at her school bus stop.
Police were called Tuesday morning to the area near the Brookside Community Center, near East 10th and North Rural, after a girl reported that a man had twice tried to lure her into his car.
Her bus stop is located at the community center in the 3500 block of Brookside Parkway South Drive.
She told police that the man, who appeared to be around 40 years old, approached her as she was arriving at the bus stop in the morning, and again as she arrived home after school to head home from the bus stop.
Each time, she said, the man was waiting nearby in a car, and then he followed beside her in that car as she tried to walk away from him.
Police are on the lookout for the car, described as a light colored 1990s model Lincoln Town Car.
The victim told police she tried to ignore the man as he offered her a ride. Other times, he would ask her if she wanted to get a bite to eat with him.
As she tried to ignore him and walk away, she said he drove beside her in his car before finally driving away.
The girl's mother called police Tuesday morning, saying her daughter had just informed her that the man approached her in the morning and again after school on Monday.
Her school was notified and police wrote in their report that they planned to add extra patrols in the area.
The girl's mother said they had some knowledge of who the suspect is, but no arrests were made and the police report indicated his name was not firmly established.
Officers were given a license tag number from his vehicle, which is being used as the police investigation gets under way.
The mother told police she was trying to work with her daughter's school to have her bus stop moved closer to the family's home.

By Chaz Lipp
A masked announcer, rhythmically clacking two blocks of wood together, appears on screen and announces the title directly. It's a rather confrontational start to a highly stylized film that was shot on an obvious (but painstakingly detailed) set with painted mural backdrops. The quaint village is not placed directly in historical context, but it's clear the dwellers do not have the benefits of modern, 20th century conveniences. A slow, droning narration is sung rather than spoken, often conveying nothing more insightful than what is being obviously acted-out on screen. Think of Arnold Schwarzenegger's infamous commentary on Total Recall, only slightly more musical.
The Ballad of Narayama presents this calculatedly cruel tradition as something of a waking nightmare. The nightmare, in this case, belongs chiefly to Orin's son, Tatsuhei (Teiji Takahashi). He cannot bear the thought of simply dumping his mother somewhere and letting her meet a brutally harsh end, exposed to the elements. The vividly beautiful color cinematography by Hiroyuki Kusuda evokes the feel of Hollywood's golden age of Technicolor musicals, but the subject matter is quite obviously more troubling. Orin's grandson Kesakichi (Danko Ichikawa) cannot wait to be rid of Orin. It will leave more rice and beans for he and his wife, Matsu-yan (Keiko Ogasawara).
As played by Tanaka, Orin is surprisingly complacent about accepting her fate. She's willing to martyr herself for what she believes is the good of the family. She even works to make sure her new daughter-in-law, Tama (Yuko Mochizuki), knows her secret fishing spot. On the other end of the spectrum is the painful sight of Matayan (Seiji Miyaguchi), the 70-year-old man who is understandably unwilling to be put out to pasture. His son (Yūnosuke Itō), while perhaps not as happy as Orin's grandson, doesn't seem to question the concept of abandoning the elderly and fights to see that his father be taken to Narayama.
The artificial lighting that signifies the change between night and day, the painted backdrops, the Styrofoam snow—all of it is easy to adjust to. But the braying musical narration isn't quite as easy to swallow, especially when the Japanese lyrics take five times longer to hear then to read as subtitles. But I did find the instrumental score to be quite hypnotic. The traditional Japanese instrumentation takes some getting used to, but winds up creating a trance-like ambiance that fits the inevitability of this simple folk tale (based on the novel Men of Tohoku by Shichirō Fukazawa) very well.
The Ballad of Narayama is not an easy film to watch. Though the most disturbing visual image is Orin's bloody gums after she loses some teeth, the atmosphere is deliberately queasy throughout as a result of the subject matter. Criterion has kept the DVD simple, adorning it with only a pair of trailers. The booklet contains a lengthy essay by film historian Philip Kemp that is well worth reading.

I am curious to know what rates different bands charge for their services.
I ask because I feel our band is being sqeezed big time by these club owners.
I feel we are worth more money for what we do.
My scenario: 4 piece rock, blues, dance and pop band. Been on the scene playing clubs for a many years. Started out playing dives, now playing the nice clubs for lots of people. We get asked back all the time. We are good and people like us. We have a website and a facebook presence. Professioinal demo and business cards.
Typical night 9PM-1AM gig. Our rate is $400.00 but our typical pay is $300.00 ( $75 bucks a guy). usually determined by a bar owner.
Rates do differ by club depending on the club but...
I feel this is too low. But we're hesitant to raise out anti in fear the clubs will say bye, can't pay that. Then we lose our opportunity. We've worked too hard and long. We love playing out, but we feel there is a value and respect issue here not being met.
obviously this is directed at working bands.......would love to hear your comments and suggestions and rates of pay you get as well as how many members in your band.......thank you.

States Attorney's Office District of Connecticut
|July 8, 2011
United States Attorney David B. Fein, Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen and Chief State's Attorney Kevin T. Kane today announced that JOSEPH UBAGHS, a licensed clinical social worker who resides in New Milford, has entered into a civil settlement with the federal and state governments in which he will pay $210,000 to resolve allegations that he violated the False Claims Act and common law.
The allegations against UBAGHS involve fraudulent billing to Medicaid for individual and group counseling services. It is alleged that, on numerous occasions, UBAGHS billed Medicaid for 45 to 50 minutes of individual therapy services when, in fact, he provided less than 30 minutes of counseling services. UBAGHS also billed Medicaid for individual psychotherapy services for separate family members when, in fact, he had provided one group therapy session to the family members at the same time. Finally, it is alleged that UBAGHS billed Medicaid for counseling sessions that the patients had cancelled and not attended.
To resolve his liability under the False Claims Act, UBAGHS will pay $210,000 to reimburse the Medicaid programs for conduct occurring between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2007.
Additionally, under the terms of the settlement agreement, UBAGHS is excluded from Medicare, Medicaid, and all other federal health care programs for a period of five years. This exclusion has national effect and prohibits UBAGHS from receiving payment from any federal health care program during the exclusion period. It also prohibits payment to any individual or entity, such as a hospital, that employs or contracts with UBAGHS, for any services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by UBAGHS.
"Licensed practitioners that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs must bill their services honestly, and the failure to do so increases the cost of health care for all of us," stated U.S. Attorney Fein. "The U.S. Attorney's office is committed to vigorously pursuing health care providers who submit fraudulent claims to federal health care programs. Providers who submit false claims to the government face serious monetary sanctions and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs."
"Medicaid is an important program that provides basic healthcare for many of Connecticut's most needy residents," stated Attorney General Jepsen. "This settlement recovering $210,000 for taxpayers and excluding Mr. Ubaghs from state and federal healthcare programs for five years sends an important message – we will aggressively pursue and deal with health care providers who try to defraud or abuse Medicaid. I thank the Connecticut Department of Social Services, the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit in the Office of the Chief State's Attorney, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General for their outstanding work and assistance on this matter."
In addition to the civil settlement, the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit in the Office of the Chief State's Attorney brought state criminal charges against UBAGHS, which were resolved this week when he was granted Accelerated Rehabilitation.
"The civil settlement is yet another example of what we can accomplish when government works together in a collaborative fashion between all agencies at all levels," stated Chief State's Attorney Kane.
This matter was investigated by the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the Connecticut Chief State's Attorney's Office and the Connecticut Department of Social Services. The civil case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Anne F. Thidemann and Auditor Kevin A. Saunders of the United States Attorneys Office, and by Forensic Fraud Examiners Lawrence Marini and David Boucher and Assistant Attorney General Gregory K. O'Connell for the state Office of the Attorney General.
In entering into the civil settlement agreement, UBAGHS did not admit liability.
U.S. Attorney Fein encouraged individuals who suspect health care fraud to report it by calling the Health Care Fraud Task Force at (203) 785-9270 or 1-800-HHS-TIPS.

Adrenal insufficiency is a condition resulting from insufficient hormone production by the adrenal glands, which are located on top of each kidney. Typically, these glands produce three types of hormones (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgens), and when they fail to do so, the result is adrenal insufficiency. Although it is very difficult to detect and diagnose this condition early, once it is diagnosed, adrenal insufficiency is a highly treatable, yet lifelong, disease that typically does not negatively impact activity level or life expectancy if treated properly.
Addison's disease is extremely rare with an estimated occurrence of only 35 to 120 in every one million people. Addison's causes, "fatigue, generalized weakness, loss of appetite and weight loss." It may also cause a darkening of the skin in some areas, digestive problems, low blood pressure, lightheadedness, joint and muscle pain, salt cravings, and in women, "decreased hair in the armpits and pubic area, and decreased sexual desire."
Secondary and tertiary adrenal insufficiency are similar, but there is no darkening of the skin, fewer people report gastrointestinal distress, and more people report hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, which can cause, "sweating, anxiety, shaking, nausea, or heat palpitations." For all three forms of adrenal insufficiency, hormone replacement is the standard treatment.
People with adrenal insufficiency can experience adrenal crisis, a life-threatening emergency. If you are with someone who has adrenal insufficiency when s/he experiences an adrenal crisis (or if you experience it yourself and are alone):
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and ER doctors, once they know that they're seeing an adrenal crisis due to adrenal insufficiency, will know to provide:
By wearing a medical ID bracelet or other form of medical ID jewelry, people with adrenal insufficiency and Addison's disease can help ensure that they receive faster, more appropriate treatment in an emergency, as EMTs and ER personnel will not have to search for a cause and diagnosis, but instead can immediately begin confidently treating your adrenal crisis.

Interview with EXCO facilitator Ray Tricomo
Tricomo has facilitated at least one EXCO class per session since the
Spring of 2006 when EXCO first offered classes to the public. His
classes have included The Indigenous Imperative, The Godfather:
Microcosom of the American Tragedy, Black Folk: Culture Defeats
Holocaust, and Movies: Cultural Enrichment or Co-Dependence?
(Note: The interview was not recorded, so Ray's answers are all approximate)
Aaron: What made you want to get involved with EXCO?
I had read Paolo Friere before and knew about the EXCO at Oberlin
College and EXCO fit with my ideas about people's education.
A: Why do you keep coming back to EXCO?
I love ideas and bright young people. Though I do sometimes lecture,
I'm into the idea that teachers can be students and students can be
A: You mentioned earlier that you really loved your Godfather class last Spring, what were some reasons for that?
The class had a great dynamic. There were two young women from India
and Albania respectively, a 61 year-old construction worker from NYC,
and an older Italian woman from New Jersey. We were able to have many
deeply evolved conversations on topics like crime, the preoccupation
with male power, and the intersection between America capitalism and
organized crime. Every week the class was interesting.
A: What about EXCO is similar or different from your past teaching experiences?
What's different is that you are not under the gun in a formal academic
sense. There is no pressure to conform to any institution's guidelines
or standards. It is still similar in being based on ideas and on the
reading that we do. I really like just sitting down and having long
conversations with students about philosophy.
A: Where do you hope that EXCO will go in the future?
I would like to see EXCO become a bit less cautious and more
radical—less afraid to take chances. It is good to not always react to
things but to initiate.
A: Your classes are still open for anyone who wants to join… what would you say to folks to encourage them to come.
The movies class will be looking at movies both as a source of cultural
enrichment and as a kind of addiction. We don't tell our own stories
anymore, and this class will look to movies to uncover why. The
Indigenous class is looking at indigenous societies as models for
building our future societies, all the while deconstructing the
different stereotypes we still maintain towards indigenous peoples.
classes meet on Tuesday's (Movies) and Thursday's (Indigenous
Imperative) from 6-8pm at Macalester College, Old Main room's 009 and
011 respectively. If you would like to take a class give him a call at
651-714-0288 and let him know.
