In real life, Jennifer Aniston is about to become a married lady. But in her latest blockbuster, she's playing a sexy stripper-turned-drug-smuggler. In the upcoming comedy We're the Millers (in theaters Aug. 9), her stripper character is hired by a pot dealer (Jason Sudeikis) to help him bring drugs across the Mexican border -- and she can't help showing off her fabulous figure along the way. "You might see more than you want to see," she told Access Hollywood. We doubt it!

More than 20 schools from Okaloosa County participated in the annual Change for Children Campaign during the 2011-2012 year. The schools raised more than $17,000 in change to benefit the abused, neglected and abandoned children of our community.
Schools that participated used creative ways like holding a bake sale, to collect change at their school. Ruckel Middle School was the winner from the Okaloosa County School District and raised $3,010.
Ken Hair, President & CEO of Children in Crisis, commented, The Change for Children campaign is such a wonderful program within the Okaloosa County School District and I would like to thank everyone very much for their participation and wonderful support.

With their usual artistic flair, Jews for Jesus has created a section of their website devoted to The Passion, including articles and discussion: Jews for Jesus on The Passion. See in particular their collection of various Jewish commentators, pro and con. I like what greets the visitor first:
The debate over who killed Jesus was settled 2,000 years ago.
"No one takes my life from me, but I lay it down of myself." -Y'shua
The debate over who he is still continues.

If the sequestration budget cuts take effect March 1, the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration could be forced to take its inspectors off the job
"for some period of time," the White House said Feb. 8.
"This would mean roughly 1,200 fewer inspections of the nation's most
dangerous workplaces, which would leave workers unprotected and could lead to an
increase in worker fatality and injury rates," the White House said in a fact
sheet listing the most damaging effects of sequestration.
"Our economy is poised to take off, but we cannot afford a self-inflicted
wound from Washington," the White House said. "We cannot simply cut our way to
prosperity, and if Republicans continue to insist on an unreasonable cuts-only
approach, the middle class risks paying the price."
In order to stave off sequestration, Congress must agree on a plan to pare
$1.2 trillion, over a nine-year period, from the federal deficit before the
If sequestration is triggered, OSHA's budget would automatically be pared by
$46 million, the White House said in a Sept. 14 report
On Feb. 5, President Obama called on Congress to delay sequestration with a
combination of spending cuts and tax changes.
Republicans countered that the House has twice passed bills to replace the
sequester, which have been ignored by the Senate.
"If Democrats have ideas for smarter cuts, they should bring them up for
debate," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a Feb. 5
statement. "But the American people will not support more tax hikes in place of
the meaningful spending reductions both parties already agreed to and the
president signed into law."
Some labor advocates have suggested that OSHA cope with the budget cuts by
trimming its voluntary protection program.
Federal and state compliance assistance programs account for $134.2 million
of OSHA's $564.8 million budget, almost three times the amount of the cuts that
the White House says would be brought on by sequestration.
"You could make a strong argument that, in a time of severe budget
restriction, they should cut back on cooperative programs, and particularly VPP
reward programs, and they should focus on basic enforcement," Randy Rabinowitz,
director of regulatory policy at the Center for Effective Government, told
"Instead of patting good actors on the back--which is fine, I'm not saying
it's a bad thing--but it seems like it's not their core mission to reward good
actors," Rabinowitz said. "Their core mission is to fine people who are not
complying with the law and try and create a reason that they would want to."
Rabinowitz predicted, however, that the cuts are more likely to affect
various OSHA programs.
OSHA chief David Michaels has said that VPP's funding is secure.
"VPP will continue," he told BNA Jan. 4. "I want the VPP program to thrive,
and we have every intention to continue to ensure that the VPP program includes
the best of the best. It's a very special program. It's the employers we like to
point to and say, 'They're doing it right. Follow their lead.' And that will
Meanwhile, Obama failed to submit his fiscal 2014 budget on time when the
Feb. 4 deadline passed.
By law, the president must submit his budget plan by the first Monday of
February. The White House has declined to say when the budget will be
Aaron Trippler, government affairs director at the American Industrial
Hygiene Association, said he does not think the missed budget deadline will have
any material effect on agencies' funding limits.
"Frankly, missing the budget deadline may turn out to be a blessing in
disguise," Trippler said. "When one looks back over the past years, projected
cuts in some programs have been saved because no budget has been adopted, rather
a continuing resolution. That doesn't make it right, but it's real."

Yet another example of the exciting vinous explorations occurring just a short drive from Madrid, Vinos Ambiz is a project of Fabio Bartolomei, a person of mixed Scottish and Italian heritage who has some strong opinions about his wine (strong opinions you can check out for yourself on the back label, as impressive a manifesto as I've seen on a wine bottle in a long time). For this wine, a grape more commonly used for brandy production, Malvar, is given the "orange wine" treatment of extended skin maceration to produce a wine bursting with aromas of apricot preserves and spice, particularly cinnamon stick. On the palate, this is intense, chewy wine brimming with personality. It's worth noting that Ambiz earns serious extra green points for bottling exclusively in recycled glass bottles, and extra hippy points for never adding sulfur to the wines. (Joe Manekin, K&L Spanish wine buyer)

Ceglia v. Zuckerberg et al
Filing 552
DECLARATION signed by Dean Boland re 551 Memorandum in Opposition to Motion filed by Paul D. Ceglia. (Boland, Dean)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK PAUL D. CEGLIA, Civil Action No. : 1:10-cv-00569-RJA Plaintiff, v. MARK ELLIOT ZUCKERBERG, Individually, and FACEBOOK, INC. DECLARATION OF DEAN BOLAND IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR DEPOSITION COSTS AND EXPENSES Defendants. DECLARANT, submits this declaration and hereby declares under penalty of perjury and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746 and under the laws of the United States that the following is true and correct: 1. I make this declaration upon personal knowledge. 2. Defendants' counsel Alex Southwell and I reached an agreement regarding the process and responsibilities for expert depositions through a series of emails and phone calls. 3. Mr. Southwell and myself are both experienced lawyers who negotiated all the terms of the agreement for the deposition of experts. 4. The agreement reached, as suggested by Mr. Southwell, was that each party would pay the other party's expert's reasonable travel expenses and reasonable fee for their time spent in deposition. 5. The agreement did not include either party being required to pay the fee for 1 the noticed expert's preparation time for his deposition. 6. The agreement did not include either party being required to pay the fee for the opposing counsel's time spent preparing the noticed witness for deposition. 7. If Mr. Southwell or Plaintiff's counsel desired such terms in the agreement, either party was free to seek to impose those terms, or if such terms were not agreeable, seek the court's intervention to craft an agreement including such terms. Neither Mr. Southwell or I sought any of the terms noted above that are now the subject of Mr. Southwell's motion seeking fees and costs outside of the the agreement Plaintiff's counsel had with him. 8. Defendants had three and sometimes four or five lawyers present at every deposition on Defendants' behalf. i.e. Mr. Southwell, Ms. Aycock and Mr. Benjamin were present at every deposition while Mr. Snyder and occasionally one other lawyer were present at several depositions. 9. Defendants noticed all of Plaintiff's experts to take place in their offices in New York and demanded that their depositions occur first. 10. Plaintiff initially noticed all of Defendants' experts for deposition in Cleveland, Ohio, the location of Plaintiff's counsel's office. i.e. Dean Boland. 11. At the request of Mr. Southwell, Plaintiff agreed to have all of Defendants' experts deposed in New York at Mr. Southwell's offices saving Defendants' at least $100,000 in travel costs necessary to send all three and possibly four or five lawyers to Cleveland for each of Defendants' experts' depositions. 12. Plaintiff's counsel consented to doing all the traveling for all depositions 2 requesting consideration from Mr. Southwell as to scheduling of depositions given the travel burden on Plaintiff's counsel. 13. The agreement reached left the risk of paying cost and expenses for postponed depositions with each respective party. That is, parties were not penalized in the event they needed to postpone a deposition that they had noticed. 14. Likewise, parties were not penalized for cancelling depositions that they had noticed. i.e. there was no requirement that a party commence a deposition they had noticed provided they cancelled the deposition before the day it was scheduled. 15. At no point in the course of expert depositions did Plaintiff's experts not appear on time for their depositions. 16. One one occasion, Plaintiff notified Defendants' counsel two days before a scheduled deposition of Defendants' expert Lesnevich that it would not occur. 17. One one occasion, Plaintiff was forced to postpone several depositions of Defendants' experts scheduled for a two day period after his flight was stuck in Philadelphia due to weather and Plaintiff's counsel became ill hours later while stuck in the airport in Philadelphia. 18. Mr. Southwell was sent an email from Plaintiff's counsel immediately upon notification to Plaintiff's counsel that his flight to New York was cancelled. This cancellation was provided to Plaintiff's counsel at near midnight his day of travel. i.e. the day before the first of two days of scheduled depositions. 19. The next scheduled flight to New York the following day departed Philadelphia 3 at 2:30 PM. 20. The next scheduled train to New York was 5:30 am the following day, a two hour train ride. 21. Upon being informed of this cancelled flight and Plaintiff's counsel's illness, Mr. Southwell demanded Plaintiff's counsel take a train to New York the next day and conduct the two days of depositions anyhow. 22. Plaintiff's counsel declined Mr. Southwell's unreasonable demand and returned home, ill, unable to participate in the depositions as scheduled. 23. One of the depositions scheduled of Defendants' experts was ultimately cancelled when Mr. Southwell refused to provide an hourly rate for the experts' time instead insisting that a $6,400.00 rate for a scheduled half day deposition (i.e. 3.5 hours) was a reasonable fee for Mr. McMenamin's time to sit for a deposition. Mr. McMenamin's fee, then, resolves to roughly $2,000 per hour for his deposition. 24. One one occasion, Plaintiff notified Defendant's counsel of a deposition cancellation the day before the deposition. Mr. Romano's deposition was specially scheduled to accommodate his refusal to travel by air to the deposition site at Defendants' lawyers' offices in New York. 25. During the initial Plaintiff's expert deposition, that of Mr. Broom, Plaintiff's counsel noted that Defendants were taking forty-five minute breaks (identified by them at the outset as a "five minute break") that would likely cause Mr. Broom's seven hours of deposition by rule to expire before they were finished. 4 26. Defendants' counsel, Mr. Southwell, countered that F.R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1) entitled him to keep Mr. Broom at his offices for as long as he wanted, provided Mr. Broom was only on the record in deposition for seven of those hours. 27. Defendants' understood the agreement between the parties was that a witness noticed for deposition was only to be paid for their actual time in deposition. 28. Defendants' counsel Mr. Southwell demonstrated this understanding by refusing to pay Plaintiff's expert, Larry Stewart, for the nine hours he was required to stay at Mr. Southwell's offices while they took numerous breaks throughout his deposition. 29. Instead, Mr. Southwell only paid Mr. Stewart for the seven hours of his actual deposition leaving him uncompensated for his time spent waiting at Mr. Southwell's offices, but not in deposition. 30. In violation of the terms and spirit of the agreement I had with Mr. Southwell, his current motion now seeks payment for his experts' time spent at his offices not spent in deposition. 5 I hereby declare under penalty of perjury and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746 and under the laws of the United States that the following is true and correct: DATED: September 24, 2012. /s/ Dean Boland Declarant 6

The Great Fantasy Novel Nomination: Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
|Written by Guest Writer on Aug 20, 2013 | 2 comments | Forum Discussion
|Filed under: Epic Fantasy, Fantasy News, Historical Fantasy, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Teresa Frohock, The Great Fantasy Novel
Our next nomination for The Great Fantasy Novel comes from Teresa Frohock, author of Miserere: An Autumn Tale.
I don't know how to tell you about this novel without gushing—I mean seriously gushing. The Mists of Avalon has everything: an excellent story, beautiful prose, magic, adventure, religion, and a host of memorable characters.
Good books entertain, but great books work on multiple levels; if ever there was a fantasy novel that boasted a multifaceted story, it is The Mists of Avalon. Bradley's themes of love and honor seem fresh and new each time, and I suppose that is what makes this one of the greatest fantasy novels for me—the very timelessness of the story.
Bradley tells her version of the Arthurian legend primarily through Morgaine's eyes as she tries to save her religion and the Celtic old ways from extinction. Morgaine's strength is in her intelligence and her determination to win at any costs. Yet Bradley renders her as a very human character, multidimensional and flawed.
Morgaine's antagonist is Arthur's young wife Gwenhwyfar, who turns to the new religion, Christianity, in desperation. Gwenhwyfar believes the pagan rituals that Arthur refuses to relinquish are the root cause for her inability to conceive an heir. As she slides deeper into Christian fanaticism, she and Morgaine become embroiled in a psychological and ideological war over which religion will rule Britain. Gwenhwyfar succeeds in bending Arthur to her will and drives Avalon into the mists, yet she never succeeds in the complete annihilation of either Avalon or the old ways.
Bradley gives new and believable motivations to all of the characters, women and men alike, and she brings the time period to life with skill. From the thrushes on the floors to placing a cat in the birthing room, Bradley weaves the details of the era into the story flawlessly. Magic is given a subtle treatment, and she embeds Avalon's mysteries into the world very organically. One of my favorite scenes is Morgaine weaving Avalloch's death—the scene is poetic in its execution and in many ways, the perfect metaphor for lengths that Morgaine will go to in order to preserve Avalon's ways.
The Mists of Avalon was such a sensation for me when I read it as a young woman. Women were no longer scenery by which the men passed on their way to greater deeds. The women plotted and moved through the story with their own rhythm and motives. I read it again in my thirties and forties, and each time, the story took on new dimensions.
When I was asked to contribute to this series, this is the first novel that popped into my mind and it remains as one of my all-time favorites more than thirty years after I first read it. I find something different and new each time I read The Mists of Avalon, and it is that very timelessness that makes this one of the greatest fantasy novels that I have ever read.
This article is part of our search for "The Great Fantasy Novel." For more information on this project or to nominate your own favorite fantasy novel, please take a look at the introduction article. Do you agree or disagree with this nomination? Let us know in the comments below!
|Teresa Frohock is the author of the novel Miserere: An Autumn Tale and has short stories that will be featured in two upcoming anthologies: Manifesto: UF, edited by Tim Marquitz and Tyson Mauermann, and Neverland's Library Anthology, edited by Rebecca Lovatt and Roger Bellini.

Offering a sunscreen designed for the body in such a small size is truly problematic and possibly dangerous, but at least this is a gentle, fragrance-free formula whose sole active ingredient is titanium dioxide. Because you have to apply a sunscreen liberally, 2.7 ounces isn't going to last very long for anybody and that can start getting expensive.
It has a milky lotion texture that sets to a soft matte finish and also includes some bells and whistles, though none of them are present in impressive amounts. This definitely has potential, but given the fairly ordinary formula there are far better and less expensive options to consider.
Help prevent discoloration and wrinkles with this broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen for the body. Featuring titanium dioxide to reflect harmful UVA and UVB rays, this skin protector is enriched with nourishing soy and vitamin E, free radical–fighting alpha-lipoic acid and brightening alpha-arbutin to help visibly counter sun damage. You'll love its light, milky texture and how weightless it feels on your skin thanks to its nanotechnology advantage that allows for better dispersion of protective ingredients. Fragrance-free.
Active: Titanium Dioxide (9.75%), Other: Water, Butylene Glycol, Isohexadecane, Triethylhexanoin, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Sorbitan Stearate, Polysorbate 80, Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Aluminum Stearate, Alumina, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Squalane, Behenyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Sucrose Cocoate, Xanthan Gum, Tocopherol, Cyclodextrin, Alpha-Arbutin, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Thioctic Acid, Hydrogenated Potato Starch, Sodium Hydroxide, Dequalinium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Sodium Hyaluronate
There's a lot of interest in this Japan-based line; the e-mails asking if these products really work keep pouring in, which means their marketing campaign is garnering the attention it's supposed to. The problem we have, though, is that we don't see any substantial reason to explain the DHC line's popularity!
First of all, here's a little background information. DHC (which stands for Daigaku Honyaku Center) is the Number 1 direct-mail skin-care company in Japan. Their U.S. headquarters is in San Francisco, and they publish a huge (and poorly organized) catalog a few times each year. Many of you have received their catalog unsolicited, perhaps with a few sample packets of DHC products, which may be why we receive so many questions asking whether the products are worth it. The overall answer to that question: Absolutely not! Although DHC offers some very good products, none of them are groundbreaking or unique in a way that's meaningful for the health and appearance of your skin.
The company bases many of their formulas around olive oil and olive extracts. In fact, if you're looking for the most expensive bottle of pure olive oil around, look no farther than the tiny vial DHC offers as their star product! They do their best to convince you that this olive oil is special because it is purified, but we ask you: What do you think you're buying at the grocery store? Do you think it's unpurified, sludge-laden olive oil? Of course not! And your skin won't be able to tell the difference between DHC's olive oil and a quality olive oil from your local market—you can use either one to moisturize dry skin.
What does olive oil have to offer your skin? Well, it's a good source of antioxidants and, of course, has moisturizing properties for dry skin, but that's about it. Olive oil isn't a must-have ingredient for skin, but is a must-avoid ingredient if you're prone to breakouts or have oily skin because its fatty acid content can contribute to clogged pores. Its antioxidant ability has been proven, but there is also research showing that other oils (such as date seed oil) offer even better antioxidant protection (Sources: Biofactors, 2007, pages 137–145; Free Radical Biology and Medicine, April 2005, pages 908–919; and www.naturaldatabase.com). DHC would have been wiser to couple olive oil with other established antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients, but instead they parsed those ingredients out over a wide variety of products, most with overlapping or repetitive claims.
For example, their olive-based products contain olive oil or extract and no other antioxidants of note, save for a tiny amount of vitamin E. But then they offer standalone vitamin C products, vitamin A products, and several products containing coenzyme Q10. We can assure you that more of their products would have earned a Paula's Pick rating had they contained a cocktail of skin-friendly ingredients rather than making their customers pick and choose among such a huge, disjointed assortment (and your skin would benefit from them all being together, as many other companies have done). You shouldn't have to pick four or five DHC moisturizers to get the benefit of multiple antioxidants, but that's the predicament you'll be in, and things get confusing when you try to determine which of the company's claims have merit and which do not. (Hint: Most of them are nothing more than a string of adjectives along with a sprinkling of truth.)
Speaking of disjointed, although we don't normally comment much on a line's packaging beyond the need for avoidance of jars for products with antioxidants and other sensitive ingredients, DHC's packaging is all over the place. The logo, color schemes, bottle shapes, fonts, and just about everything else have no rhyme or reason. You could easily have several DHC products on your vanity and the only way you'd know they were from the same line is the company name, if you can find it. On the upside, DHC avoids jar packaging for their antioxidant-enriched products.
The main benefit of DHC products is the lack of fragrance, though a few products do contain fragrant floral extracts, as noted in the individual reviews. If you're curious to try this Japan import, it is possible to assemble a good, basic routine. However, this is also a line you could ignore in favor of a selection of skin-care products that offer more for your money, especially in terms of single products with multiple state-of-the-art ingredients for skin, and fewer claims that don't correlate with what the ingredients can actually do for your skin. One more plus that deserves mention: the company is forthcoming with their ingredient lists, and their customer service in that arena is prompt and thorough.

The three finalists for the 2012 Amelia Alpiner Stern Mom of the Year Award are:
Marilyn Becker of Hampshire, IL was nominated by her son Kevin. Kevin describes the aspects of his mom's character he loves such as "her ceaseless wit and clever, spur-of-the-moment songs; her gentle, caring voice when she talks to children; the kindness of her eyes when her sympathy abounds; the sincere interest she takes in the lives and interest of people she knows. These are the things that she ought to be known by—these are the things that make her, truly, great."
Mary Anne Glowacz of Chicago, IL was nominated by her daughter Megan. Megan wrote, "No matter what my future has in store for me, I will always consider my mother to be 'Mom of the Year,' because I know that she will encourage me in whatever path I choose and love me no matter what conditions may arise."
Carol Richard of Fall River, MA was nominated by her niece, goddaughter, and daughter Victoria Dombek. Victoria describes her aunt and legal guardian (her mom in every real sense) as someone who has gone above and beyond the traditional role as a mother. She describes her mother as someone who "helped me through the difficult final year of high school and transition from high school in Massachusetts to college in Illinois. She gave me support when I felt like giving up… she has made all my dreams possible and has done nothing short of saving my life."
The 2012 Amelia Alpiner Stern Mom of the Year is Carol Richard!
Congratulations to everyone nominated!

Summary: Most contemporary work on education that takes into account differences among students in schools in the United States focuses on African American and white students, rather than recognizing the complexity of the current population. Beyond Black and White open s a discussion of diversity that goes beyond the notion that white or black can be looked at as any kind of homogeneous groupings. While numerous studies focus on the ways in which schools privilege some groups ...show more of children and marginalize others, such work tends to construe differences along a narrowly constructed black-white dichotomy. Beyond Black and White forces the reader to abandon this construction.

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co, a major consumer electronics firm, plans to trim about 1,000 jobs in its digital electronics operations in Japan, one of its core businesses, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported without citing sources.
The division generates 40 percent of its group revenue, according to the report.
By reducing the number of its excess jobs and scaling down output of unprofitable products, Matsushita aims to accelerate its shift in focus to growth areas such as flat-panel televisions, the financial daily said.
The company also plans to better prepare itself for anticipated changes in the digital electronics market, such as price declines and intensified competition. Matsushita will also step up its efforts to develop and produce plasma TVs, digital cameras, and other items to catch up with growing global demand.
The company plans to enhance production efficiency for plasma TVs by bringing onstream a panel factory in Japan in November 2005, and will likely improve efficiency of digital camera development through an alliance with Olympus Corp, according to the report. (AFX)
