Kinder Morgan Expects To Meet Or Exceed 2014 Financial Expectations
Kinder Morgan today reconfirmed its 2014 financial dividend and distribution guidance for Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI), Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: KMP), Kinder Morgan Management, LLC (NYSE: KMR) and El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P. (NYSE: EPB), and at KMP expects to generate distributable cash flow per unit nicely in excess of its budget targets.
Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder stated, "2014 is off to a great start and the future outlook for the Kinder Morgan companies remains very bright. We have identified approximately $14.8 billion in expansion and joint venture investments that we are confident will contribute to our growth, and we are pursuing customer commitments for many more projects. Since our 2014 budget was announced in early December of 2013, KMP has completed an approximately $962 million acquisition of crude oil tankers that are engaged in marine transportation for U.S. domestic trade through the Jones Act, and Tennessee Gas Pipeline completed a successful binding open season for incremental, north to south natural gas transportation capacity totaling 500,000 dekatherms per day, which will move gas from the Marcellus and Utica shales to multiple delivery points on the Gulf Coast."
Kinder Morgan owns and operates a large, diversified portfolio of primarily fee-based energy assets across North America that historically have produced substantial cash flow in virtually all types of market conditions.
As previously announced, KMI expects to declare dividends of $1.72 per share for 2014. This represents an 8 percent increase over its 2013 declared dividend of $1.60 per share. Growth at KMI in 2014 is expected to be driven by continued strong performance at KMP and contributions from EPB.KMP expects to declare cash distributions of $5.58 per unit for 2014, a 5 percent increase over its 2013 distribution of $5.33 per unit. KMP expects to exceed its distributable cash flow per unit target primarily as a result of the positive impact of the previously noted tanker acquisition, TGP's incremental north to south firm transportation contracts, which are expected to begin service in April 2014, and additional long-term contracts on its El Paso Natural Gas pipeline system. "We continue to see exceptional growth opportunities across all of KMP's business segments, including the need for more midstream infrastructure to move and store oil, gas and liquids from the prolific shale plays in the United States and the oilsands in Alberta, along with increasing demand for CO 2. In particular, there seems to be strong and growing demand for secure, long-term natural gas transportation capacity," Kinder said. KMR also expects to declare distributions of $5.58 per share for 2014 and the distribution to KMR shareholders will be paid in the form of additional KMR shares.

FDA eases into regulating e-cigarettes
The federal government's move to regulate e-cigarettes is a leap into the unknown.
AP Tobacco Writer
The federal government's move to regulate e-cigarettes is a leap into the unknown.
Most everyone agrees a ban on selling them to kids would be a step forward. But health and public policy experts can't say for certain whether the electronic devices are a good thing or a bad thing overall, whether they help smokers kick the habit or are a gateway to ordinary paper-and-tobacco cigarettes.
The proposed rules, issued Thursday by the Food and Drug Administration, tread fairly lightly. They would ban sales to anyone under 18, add warning labels and require FDA approval for new products.
Some public health experts say a measured approach is the right one. They think that the devices, which heat a nicotine solution to produce an odorless vapor without the smoke and tar of burning tobacco, can help smokers quit.
"This could be the single biggest opportunity that's come along in a century to make the cigarette obsolete," said David Abrams, executive director of the Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies at the American Legacy Foundation.
Still, some wonder whether e-cigarettes keep smokers addicted or hook new users and encourage them to move on to tobacco. And some warn that the FDA regulations could have unintended consequences.
"If the regulations are too heavy-handed, they'll have the deadly effect of preventing smokers from quitting by switching to these dramatically less harmful alternatives," said Jeff Stier, senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank in Washington.
Scientists haven't finished much research on e-cigarettes, and the studies that have been done have been inconclusive. The government is pouring millions into research to supplement independent and company studies on the health risks of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products -- as well as who uses them and why.
"There are far more questions than answers," acknowledged Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products.
But he said the proposed rules "would result in significant public health benefits, including through reducing sales to youth, helping to correct consumer misperceptions, preventing misleading health claims and preventing new products from entering the market without scientific review by FDA."
The FDA has left the door open to further regulations, such as a ban on TV advertising and fruit- or candy-flavored e-cigarettes -- measures that some anti-smoking groups and members of Congress are demanding.
"It is inexcusable that it has taken the FDA and the administration so long to act. This delay has had serious public health consequences as these unregulated tobacco products have been marketed using tactics and sweet flavors that appeal to kids," the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said in a statement.
The FDA said it wants more evidence before it rushes into more regulations.
Any further rules "will have to be grounded in our growing body of knowledge and understanding about the use of e-cigarettes and their potential health risks or public health benefits," FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said.
Electronic cigarettes are becoming a big business. The industry started on the Internet and at shopping-mall kiosks and has rocketed from thousands of users in 2006 to several million worldwide, with a choice of more than 200 brands.
Sales are estimated to have reached nearly $2 billion in 2013. Tobacco companies have noticed that e-smokes are eating into cigarette sales, and they have jumped into the business, too.
Smokers like e-cigarettes because the nicotine-infused vapor looks like smoke but doesn't contain the thousands of chemicals, tar or odor of regular cigarettes. Some smokers use e-cigarettes as a way to quit smoking tobacco, or to cut down.
"If the product as I use it now becomes illegal, I'm not sure what'll happen. I'll probably end up smoking again," said 38-year-old Jason Todrick of Huntington Beach, Calif., who kicked his more than 20-year smoking habit two years ago using an e-cigarette.
In addition to mandating warning labels that say nicotine is an addictive chemical, the rules would require e-cigarette makers to disclose their products' ingredients. They would not be allowed to claim their products are safer than other tobacco products.
In addition, they couldn't give out free samples or sell e-cigarettes in vending machines unless they are in a place open only to adults, such as a bar.
The public and the industry will have 75 days to comment on the proposed rules. There is no timetable for when the FDA will issue its final rules. Many believe the process will wind up in court.
"It seems to be a responsible approach ... and shows the FDA's commitment to look at particular e-cigarettes in a science-based way rather than just conjecture," said Jason Healy, president of Blu e-cigs, which is owned by the tobacco company Lorillard Inc. and is the largest player in the market. Blu accounts for almost half of e-cigarettes sold.
Also on Thursday, the FDA proposed extending its authority to regulate cigars, hookahs, nicotine gels and pipe tobacco.

The Poetry of Ed Westwickby Steve Marsi at . Comments
He plays the ever-arrogant Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl, but Ed Westwick has a surprising sensitive side — and a way with words.
"I've been writing a lot of poetry recently," Westwick, 21, told People magazine. "It helps me think and work things out."
Westwick shared with the celebrity news magazine a poem from memory that he wrote "at like six in the morning" recently.
Just don't read too much into the words.
"Nothing I've been writing has a definitive point of aim," the actor says. "I feel like you just need to keep writing until the writing itself just begins to take shape."
Follow the jump for Ed Westwick's untitled poem and let us know what you think of the Gossip Girl star's prose:
Tell me what can you want?
You've got it all.
Things are real in a handshake.
Rest my bones these days in a different way.
Cherish the change; it may not stay.
I remember your dress,
Like dreams when you wake with a sudden start.
You're beside me in the dark,
Wrapped in my arms.
Love is being entranced in a glance,
To muster up courage when you're flustered,
To stumble on the words you prepare.
Don't worry about the money that went down the drain
Because the best things in life are free.

The poem was okay. He's just so sweet. I love Ed Westwick so damn much. ;)

i love the poem! That douchebag perez hilton said it was gay and that he was high but i thought is was beautiful! he recites this in a british accent... yes the best things in life are free! lol
But I also have to disagree because sometimes love has to come at a cost. But the feeling of love is free =D

workers.6 However the pattern of change in the SRW over time is similar to that of the SRU.
Table 3-5 summarizes estimates of six indicators in 2010 and 2050. These aging indicators differ because they are differently defined. Their absolute levels will not be examined here because there is little to be gained from a discussion of the differences. Instead the committee focuses on the projected trends (last column), which anticipate the future impact of population aging.
These results lead to two main conclusions regarding trends to 2050. First, the U.S. population will likely age substantially, as indicated by the 64 percent rise in the population aged 65+, the 81 percent rise in the OADR, and the 71 percent rise in the RWR. Second, the economic impact of this aging is cushioned by a decline in youth dependency.
The net effect of these demographic trends is best captured by the SRW, which is projected to decline 12 percent by 2050. This means that, other things being equal, consumption per capita will be 12 percent lower than it would be without population aging.7
Adapting to Population Aging
As noted throughout this report, adapting to future population aging might involve a rise in the age at retirement. Such an increase would counteract the projected adverse changes in most of the above indicators. To illustrate, Figure 3-15 plots the age at retirement (conventionally set at age 65) required to keep the OADR constant at 0.22. This calculation indicates that the age at retirement would have to rise from 65.0 in 2010 to 73.3 years in 2050 to prevent the OADR from increasing. A separate calculation indicates that a similar increase in age at retirement will keep the SRW constant. It should be emphasized that Figure 3-15 represents a purely hypothetical exercise to illustrate the magnitude of changes in age at retirement needed to keep this dependency ratio unchanged. Such a large change in age at retirement is likely to be politically unacceptable, and it is not the committee's intention to recommend it.
It is worth noting that this increase in the age at retirement of 8.3 years is larger than the rise of 4.0 years needed to keep the ratio of retired to working years constant over the individual life cycle (see earlier discussion of Figure 3-4). The reason for this difference is that the rise in the age at retirement plotted in Figure 3-15 compensates both for the projected rise in life expectancy and for population aging resulting from fertility decline
6The support ratio is typically less than unity because consumption is funded in part from sources other than labor income, such as asset income.
7That is, consumption per weighted consumer will decline by 12 percent, other things equal.

Best Uses
These Noir mugs far exceeded my expectations! The black porcelain looks great for a variety of occasions and shows off my personalized design well.
I used these as party favors and everyone asked where I was able to get something so elegant and well made. Printing was crisp and clear and the 12 oz. size (and coincidentally shape) is the same used at my local boutique coffee shop.
One note regarding the online photo - because of the reflection from the surface that the mug is on, it may appear that there is a small edge or lip at the bottom of the mug when there is not. I prefer it this way but others may be expecting something else.
I highly recommend these mugs and will be back for more the next time I need something for a special event.
Service and delivery comments:
10 stars for customer service and speedy delivery. I placed this order at the last minute over a holiday weekend and still received my personalized items within days, including the coffee mugs, which required ground shipping because of their weight.
No way I could have gotten anything personalized locally so quickly.
I only just discovered this company but it is now my first stop when shopping for special occasions.

Toyota Center, Houston, TX
Since acquiring James Harden from Oklahoma City in October 2012, the Houston Rockets haven't fared too well against the Thunder -- except when Harden has a career-best night.
Harden will look for a better performance than his last time out against his former team when he and the Thunder's Kevin Durant square off Thursday night in a matchup of two of the NBA's top scorers.
Harden, who won the NBA's Sixth Man award after his final season in Oklahoma City, has gone 1/3 against the Thunder in the regular season while with Houston. He scored a career-best 46 points in the lone victory, a 122-119 win on Feb. 20. Harden and the Rockets were also ousted from last season's playoffs by Oklahoma City in six games.
The aggressive guard, who is averaging 24.6 points, had his lowest total of the season in Houston's first meeting with the Thunder, finishing with eight points on 2-of-9 shooting in a 117-86 road loss on Dec. 29. It was one of only four games this season in which Houston has been held below 90 points.
But Harden has bounced back nicely, scoring 29.3 points per game to help the Rockets (26-14) go 5-2 since that loss. He is shooting 48.4 percent from the field since Dec. 31.
The only NBA player that seems to be having a better time of it in the new year is Durant, who is averaging 34.8 points in Oklahoma City's last eight games. The Thunder (28-10), however, have lost five of those contests.
The Rockets come into this matchup having won three straight, all on the road, following a 103-100 win at New Orleans on Wednesday. Harden hit a tiebreaking jumper with 28 seconds to go to cap a fourth-quarter rally from 17 down. Harden had 26 points and seven assists, while Terrence Jones scored a season-high 25.
"We have to play the same way every night, and we didn't bring that effort in the beginning," said Dwight Howard, who chipped in with 12 points and 11 rebounds. "We picked it up late in the game, but we have to really start games better."
Houston matched a season low with four 3-pointers, but the Rockets got 16 points off turnovers and owned a 58-30 scoring advantage in the paint. Houston has dominated down low in its last four victories, averaging 54.0 points in the paint.
The Thunder have one of the better post defenses in the NBA, allowing only 38.3 points per game in the paint. Still, the team can be vulnerable near the basket.
Memphis scored 42 points down low in a 90-87 win over Oklahoma City on Tuesday. The Thunder's defensive struggles also translated to the offensive end, where they shot 23.8 percent from 3-point range.
"We talk about that with the group all the time. It's connected," coach Scott Brooks told the team's official website. "Bad defense leads to bad offense. You have to be able to be good at both of them if you want to be a good team in this league. We strive to be a good team and a consistent team."
Durant, who had 33 points and 13 rebounds in the first meeting with Houston, scored 37 against the Grizzlies -- giving him at least 30 in five of his last six games. He scored 48 points twice in that span and is averaging an NBA-leading 29.8 on the season.
In last year's first-round playoff series, Durant averaged 32.5 points, while Harden led the Rockets with 26.3 per game.

Research Notes
The Rockets turned in perhaps the most bizarre performance in NBA history. After scoring 73 in the 1st half, they were held to just 19 in the 2nd half. FROM ELIAS: That 54-point disparity is the largest in a game in NBA history.[+]
Crash Landing - Rockets vs Thunder on
Close [X]
From Elias: The Rockets scored a season-high 73 points in the 1st half, and a season-low 19 points in the 2nd half. That 54-point disparity is the largest by a team in a game in NBA history.
The Rockets shot 19.4% in the 2nd half (7-36)... It's their lowest FG pct in a half in at least the past 18 seasons (since the start of the 1996-97 season, as far back as we have play-by-play data from the NBA).
From Elias: Rockets are 4th team in shot-clock era to score 10 points or fewer in consecutive quarters and the 1st team in the shot clock era to score 40 or more points in a quarter and then score 10 points or fewer in each of the next two quarters.
The Rockets got outscored 24-10 in the 3rd quarter, the fewest points they've scored in any quarter this season (they led by 14 at halftime)
The Rockets scored 73 points in the first half, their most in any half this season and the third most by any NBA team.
Lost in the Rockets epic collapse on Thursday was another strong game from Terrence Jones, who turned in his 3rd double-double in his last 4 games with 16 points & 13 rebounds. That's continued a step forward for him this season.[+]

I forgot.
When your getting a Strap, make sure it does not have a metal hook on either end. A lot of straps have those and they are BAD news. If the strap was to break (which can happen) you would then have a metal hook flying through the air at a very high velocity which could easily kill/seriously injure somebody. Also, never hook to a receiver ball. It can also break and easily do some serious damage to somebody or their truck.
High quality strap and shackle at a good price

ASIA/TURKEY - The Feast of St. Anthony Istanbul, in the midst of the turmoil in Taksim Square
Istanbul (Agenzia Fides) - " Many young people who go to Taksim Square pass by our church, light a candle to St. Anthony, then they go to demonstrate. They are people of all social classes and religions. As Franciscans, in this delicate moment for the country we pray, through the intercession of St. Anthony, for the good and peace in the country ": This is what Fr. Anton Bulai, OFM Conv says, pastor of the St. Anthony Church in Istanbul, situated in the centre of the town, not far from Taksim Square. The local community of six Franciscan friars are preparing the feast of St. Anthony, on June 13, a celebration with ancient roots, and a feast that welcomes Christians of all denominations and many non Christians, devoted to the Saint.
"It is a feast that involves the whole local Church: we will be close to our Bishop, Mgr. Louis Pelatre who will celebrate Mass. But it is also an ecumenical feast, open to all: religious leaders and believers of all other communities come, " explains friar Anton. There will be a representative of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and non Christian faithful. Anthony is a saint known and loved in Turkey especially for the initiative of the "Bread of the poor" where for over 60 years poor people benefit from, without distinction of religion or ethnicity. Fr. Bulai explains: "Every Tuesday, since the time of the Apostolic Delegate Angelo Roncalli, who went to our church, to our convent, one prays and distributes bread to the hungry or needy."
In recent years, "a special blessing and gifts for the children" have marked the feast of the 13th of June.
The feast today is in the midst of a wave of protest that, notes the pastor, "might somehow discourage the participation of the people," given the fear of disorder or violence. From the Church of St. Anthony "there will always be a word of peace, of good and reconciliation." "Our Church and our Franciscan witness in Turkey continues: we are a convent with the doors always open to welcome, we are always ready to pray, bless, and welcome anyone who approaches and comes to light a candle to the Saint: and there are many people who do it every day, of every social class and religion, "notes Fr. Bulai (PA) (Agenzia Fides 11/06/2013)

Tracy Brookshaw (born May 22, 1975)[2] is a Canadian professional wrestler, professional wrestling valet and professional wrestling referee, better known by her ring name Traci Brooks. She is best known for her work in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where she has spent most of her career.
Brookshaw grew up on a pig and chicken farm in St. Marys, Ontario.[3] In 2000, she won the Toronto Sunshine Millennium Calendar contest which led to her being named Miss June 2000 and interviewed in the Toronto Sun.[4] Brookshaw went on to engage in promotional modeling work with the Molson, Labatt and Budweiser beverage brewers.
In her interview, Brookshaw said that she aspired to be "the next WWF Superstar".[4] This led to her being introduced to Ron Hutchinson, a professional wrestler who operated the Sully's Gym professional wrestling school out of Toronto, Ontario. Brookshaw began training under Hutchinson in March 2000 and debuted in January 2001 as "Tracy Brooks".
In an October 2008 interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Brookshaw revealed that she suffered from Erb's palsy as an infant. While she recovered, for the most part, due to aggressive treatment, she noted that she has impaired function in her right arm which affects her in the ring.[5]
Brooks appeared with numerous independent promotions, including Border City Wrestling and the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation (AWF). During her time in AWF, she worked a program feuding with La Felina and was managed for a short time by Canadian hip-hop artist, Dan-e-o. On August 30, 2001, Brookshaw (as Miss Apocalypse) defeated Joey Knight to win the AWF heavyweight title. To this day, she continues to do work for independent promotions, including Blood Sweat and Ears in her home region in Southern Ontario and, most prominently, NWA Cyberspace where she contends for the NWA Cyberspace Women's Championship.
Traci even wrestled in independent custom wrestling matches against wrestlers like Amber O'Neal and Christie Ricci.
Brooks debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on April 30, 2003 in Catholic schoolgirl apparel, attacking Lollipop, a dancer who entertained the live audience during intermissions. The following week, Brooks demanded to be entered in a gauntlet match in which the winner would receive a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, threatening to sue National Wrestling Alliance official Bill Behrens for sexual discrimination if he did not comply. When her threats failed, Brooks instead attempted to charm Behrens into allowing her into the match. Behrens then placed Brooks in a triple threat match with fellow female wrestlers Desire and Trinity, with the winner gaining entry into the gauntlet match. After Kid Kash ambushed Trinity and David Young accidentally punched Desire, Brooks won the match. Later that evening, she was attacked by Lollipop as she approached the ring to enter the gauntlet match. After she entered the ring, Brooks was quickly pinned and eliminated by Kid Kash.
On May 21, Brooks was paired with David Young in an "Anarchy Alliance" tag team tournament to determine the number one contenders to the NWA World Tag Team Championship. They defeated Kid Kash and Trinity on May 21 and Ron Killings (whose partner, Don Harris, had refused to team with him) on June 4. During the match, Brooks was injured by Killings. Nurse Veronica (who had recently debuted in an on-air role as TNA's backstage clinician) rushed to the ring to aid Brooks. During this time, Brooks was also involved in catfights with Young's valet, Desire.[6] Brooks and Young then faced America's Most Wanted in the tournament final, but lost. After the match, Young threatened Brooks, but she was again saved by Veronica.[7]
During an interview with Goldy Locks, Brooks and Veronica announced that TNA officials would no longer allow women to compete against men; however, they would continue to work together as a stable named Bitchslap.[8] The duo then issued an open challenge to any women in attendance. TNA cage dancers April Pennington and Lollipop (who was attacked by Brooks several weeks earlier[9]) accepted the challenge. They tried attacking Brooks and Veronica but were stopped by TNA security guards.[10] The following week, Lollipop challenged Bitchslap to a match. Veronica (without Brooks present) accepted, but was attacked by both Lollipop and Pennington until TNA security again stopped the catfight.[11] Veronica then replaced Brooks with a new partner, Cheerleader Valentina (who had earlier competed as JV Love on TNA Xplosion in a match against Brooks[12][13]). The reason for the replacement is because Brooks was unable to travel from Canada to the TNA taping. The storyline with Bitchslap was eventually dropped because TNA didn't have enough female wrestlers to compete against the group,[14] and Veronica turned down a two-year contract with TNA, instead attempting to sign with either WWE or a company in Japan.[15] Brooks was removed from television for repackaging, Trinity was placed into other storylines, and TNA stopped booking Valentina.
Brooks returned to TNA on November 5, 2003, helping Shane Douglas defeat The Sandman. On November 26, Douglas and Brooks, known now simply as "Traci", helped Michael Shane defeat Sonjay Dutt. Following the match, the trio celebrated, and Douglas announced that they were to be called "The New Franchise".[1]
The New Franchise began feuding with Triple X (Christopher Daniels, Low-Ki and Elix Skipper). The feud lasted until April 21, 2004, when Shane lost to Daniels after he passed up on a pinfall opportunity in order to try to hit his finisher. After Douglas admonished Shane, Shane began pushing and slapping his erstwhile mentor. Traci eventually grabbed Douglas from behind, enabling Shane to superkick Douglas. The following week, Traci helped Shane defeat Douglas in a singles match.
Traci continued to manage Shane, who was by now pursuing the X Division Championship. Shane proved unable to defeat the incumbent champion, A.J. Styles, so he and Traci recruited Frankie Kazarian in order to maximize their numbers advantage. The result was a new stable/tag team that was known by fans as Shazarian. After several weeks of confrontations, Styles defended his title against Shane and Kazarian in a three way Ultimate X match on July 28, 2004. Though he was able to nullify the interference of Traci by giving her a Styles Clash, he was eventually knocked unconscious by the combined efforts of Shane and Kazarian. Shane and Kazarian then climbed for the X Division Championship, and simultaneously retrieved the belt, thus becoming co-champions. They lost the titles to Petey Williams in a Gauntlet Match on August 11.
In late-2004, Traci turned into a fan favorite by leaving Shane and Kazarian and becoming the assistant of the TNA Director of Authority, Dusty Rhodes. Trinity also wanted to be Rhodes' assistant, however, so he told each woman to recruit a new tag team. The teams faced one another at Destination X on March 13, 2005, with the winning team's manager becoming Rhodes' sole assistant.[16] Traci's team (Don and Ron Harris, the Disciples of Destruction) defeated Trinity's team (Big Tilly and Bruno Sassi - Phi Delta Slam), making her Rhodes' assistant.[16] Traci eventually left Rhodes' side and began managing Chris Sabin, who was feuding with Michael Shane and Trinity. At Lockdown on April 24, she tried to prevent Trinity from interfering in a four way X Division Xscape elimination match between Sabin, Sonjay Dutt, Shocker and Shane, but failed.[17] The feud continued until Hard Justice on May 15, when Sabin and Traci lost to Shane and Trinity.[18] In the course of the match, Traci turned on Sabin and Shane turned on Trinity, with Traci aligning herself with Shane once again and Trinity siding with Sabin.[18]
Traci began managing Shane once again and stayed with him when he changed his name to his real name, Matt Bentley. When Bentley sat out during contract renegotiations in August 2005, she did some interview work for TNA. At Unbreakable on September 11, Traci acted as a backstage interviewer throughout the event. She returned to Bentley's side after his return at Unbreakable. In February 2006, Bentley turned heel and began a dispute with long time tag partner Lance Hoyt. Following the feud, Bentley was sidelined with an injury. Traci did promotional work for the company during the downtime.
On the May 15 taping of Impact!, she wrestled Gail Kim in the first woman's match in over a year. The match was taped purely for the forthcoming TNA Knockouts DVD, not for the Spike TV program. Kim gained the pin after interference from America's Most Wanted. At Hardcore War she defeated Kim with Christy Hemme as referee.
Traci was announced as Robert Roode's manager at Bound for Glory 2006 and changed her name to "Ms. Brooks".[19] She managed him during the Fight for the Right Tournament at the October 28 Impact!. She lost to Eric Young in a bikini contest at Turning Point.[20] After this, she was told to sign Young to a contract- no matter what it took to do it. In the storyline, Ms. Brooks began to pressure him into having sex with her. Finally, at Against All Odds Ms. Brooks successfully seduced Young into signing a contract with "Robert Roode Inc.".[21] After sometime without a storyline, she entered a rivalry with Gail Kim and was defeated at an Impact! taping. At Slammiversary, she was taken out by Kim once again.
On the August 23, 2007 episode of Impact!, Roode wrestled Gail Kim, with Kim pinning Roode after a low blow leg drop. Following the match, Roode, unhappy at his loss, continued to attack Kim until Kaz came out to counter Roode.[22] On the October 4 edition of Impact!, it was revealed that Brooks and Roode were not romantically linked, and that the only reason she continued to take Roode's abuse was to help her sick mother. Subsequently, on Impact! and at Genesis a female fan held up signs asking Roode to replace Ms. Brooks with her. Roode then joined the Angle Alliance with Ms. Brooks begrudgingly by his side.
At the Genesis pay-per-view on November 11, 2007, Traci fainted due to heat exhaustion, but appeared to be doing fine following help from medics. However, news reports have arisen that claim that her fainting was staged, as Brooks was asked to do so by Vince Russo.
At the January 10 Impact! tapings, Roode fired Ms. Brooks and replaced her with the female fan, identified by Roode as Ms. Payton Banks. Shortly thereafter, Brookshaw reverted back to a crowd favorite and to her "'Traci Brooks" ring name and began feuding with Banks. She defeated Banks at the annual pay-per-view, Against All Odds.[23] On the April 3 edition of Impact!, Traci defeated Payton Banks after a facebuster from the top turnbuckle. At Lockdown, She participated in the first ever "Queen of the Cage" match which was won by Roxxi Laveaux.[24] At Sacrifice, Traci participated in the first ever TNA Knockout Makeover Battle Royal, which was won by Gail Kim.[25]
During the July 17 edition of Impact! a backstage segment revealed that Brooks was in talks with Jim Cornette about something concerning the Knockouts. Soon after on the August 7 episode of Impact!, Brooks was the special guest referee for a match between Roxxi and Jacqueline, which Roxxi won. In August 2008, Cornette announced that Traci officially is in charge of the Knockouts Division, also known as the "Knockout Law". In January 2009, Traci stopped appearing in TNA and Jim Cornette resumed control over the Knockout division. She returned on the March 12, 2009, edition of Impact! as a referee.
She returned to television on the July 23, 2009 episode of Impact!. During an interview with Lauren, she announced that had taken time off TNA to work on some projects in Hollywood and she was returning as the referee for a Knockout battle royal later that evening. The winner of the battle royal would receive $50,000 and spot in The Main Event Mafia. As the match winded down to Tara and Awesome Kong as the final two participants, Brooks revealed that she was actually a participant in the match and tossed both women out of the ring. Upon winning the match, she became a member of the Main Event Mafia. On the following Impact, Traci cemented herself as a heel during an interview with Lauren in which she denounced TNA for not giving her a spot on television, explaining her absence. On August 27 episode of Impact she competed in the TNA Knockout Tag Title tournament teaming with Sharmell to represent The Main Event Mafia, but they lost in the first round of the tournament to Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed. On the October 1 edition of Impact! she was defeated by Christy Hemme in a "Battle of the Playboy Models", after which she attacked her.[26] On the October 22 edition of Impact! the Main Event Mafia disbanded.[27] Afterward she turned face, starting a rivalry with heel Alissa Flash.[28] On March 4, 2010, Brookshaw was released from her contract.[29]
On February 14, 2011, at the tapings of the February 17 edition of Impact!, Brooks made a one night return to TNA, saving her real life husband Kazarian from Robbie E and Cookie.[30][31] On April 7, Brooks wrestled at at TNA house show in Erie, Pennsylvania, unsuccessfully challenging Madison Rayne for the TNA Women's Knockout Championship.[32] Two days later Brooks defeated Rayne in a non-title match at a house show in Cleveland Ohio.[33] On the July 21 edition of Impact Wrestling, Brooks made her return to TNA, saving Velvet Sky and Mickie James from ODB and Jacqueline.[34] On the August 18 edition of Impact Wrestling, Brooks re-applied for the job of "Knockout Law".[35] However, on the September 1 edition of Impact Wrestling, the job was given to Karen Jarrett, who then hired Brooks as her executive assistant.[36] On the December 8 edition of Impact Wrestling, Brooks returned to the ring to face Jarrett's ally Gail Kim. Despite being told to lay down, Brooks decided to fight back, but eventually lost following interference from Madison Rayne.[37] After Karen Jarrett was fired from TNA on the December 15 edition of Impact Wrestling, Brooks began wrestling more regularly, feuding with Madison Rayne.[38] On the January 5 edition of Impact Wrestling, Brooks and Mickie James failed to capture the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship from Rayne and Gail Kim.[39] After months of inactivity, Brooks announced on April 17, 2012, that she had been released from TNA.[40]
On July 26, 2009, it was revealed that TNA had signed a deal with Playboy making Brooks the first TNA Knockout to ever pose for Playboy. Current TNA Knockout Christy Hemme has previously posed for the magazine prior to signing with TNA.[41] However, on September 2 it was reported that Playboy had decided not to publish Brooks' photo shoot on their magazine.[42] The photo shoot was instead released through their Cyber Club on September 17, 2009.[43][44]
Brookshaw married fellow TNA wrestler Frank Gerdelman, better known as Frankie Kazarian, on January 7, 2010.[45]

The skeleton
of the hand is made up of 29 bones; there are 9 dice-sized carpal bones near the wrist, joined closely to each other,
5 tubular metacarpal bones that end at the knuckles and the phalanges of the fingers and thumb (3 in each finger and 2 in the thumb).
Bones are joined together by ligaments; ligaments are strong fibrous bands that stabilise joints and stop the joint moving in directions
that it is not designed to move. Ligaments can be torn completely or partly (a sprain).
There are numerous small muscles in the hand itself that move the fingers and thumb. These small muscles form the soft pad at the
base of the thumb and the equivalent pad on the little finger side of the hand. The most important and strongest muscles that
straighten and bend the fingers and thumb are situated in the forearm. Muscles are joined to bone by tendons which are the sinewy
cords that you may be able to see on the back of your hand and the front of your wrist. The muscles that bend the fingers are
called flexors and those that straighten the fingers are called extensors. The tendons attach to the phalanges in the fingers and
thumb. The large number of muscles in the hand allow the very delicate and precise movement that is possible. Skin covers the
hand; the skin on the palm of the hand is thick and not particularly stretchy, the skin on the back of the hand (dorsum) is thin
and pliable. There are two arteries that carry blood to the hand, the radial and ulnar arteries. The radial artery can be felt as
the pulse at the wrist. There are three nerves that pass to the hand, the median, ulnar and radial nerves. Nerves have two functions,
they tell you what you are feeling (sensation) and carry messages from the brain to muscles to cause a movement.

Is multi-tasking a myth?
Britons are increasingly overlapping their media habits - tapping out e-mails while watching TV, reading a paper while answering texts from friends. But, asks Hugh Wilson, does media multi-tasking mean instead of doing a few things well, we are just doing more things badly?
I was watching a documentary the other day about an educational issue that - as the father of a child about to start his first year at school - held more than a passing interest.
At the same time, I was actively participating in a three-way text message conversation about the coming weekend.
It's fair to say that, by the end of the evening, I had only a vague understanding of the message of the documentary and the weekend remained largely unplanned. I had multi tasked, but I hadn't done it particularly well.
Still, I was only doing what comes naturally, at least if the latest report from media regulator Ofcom is to be believed.
According to the Ofcom analysis, the average Briton spends seven hours a day watching or using media. But that figure rises to nearly nine hours when you squeeze in time many of us now spend using several devices at once.
"Start Quote
End Quote Damon Young Author, Distraction
Our minds are divided: between TV, and home life. Instead of doing one thing well, we're doing several half-heartedly"
So we watch telly while surfing the net, or continually check Facebook updates while writing a report, or send instant messages while talking on a mobile phone.
Of course, people have been reading while listening to the radio for years, but the increase in multi-tasking seems to be different. Philosopher Damon Young, author of Distraction, says that we've become habituated to checking e-mails and texts, and turn towards the "safe novelty" of Facebook rather than the important but tricky stuff of real life.
"And it's often required by employers, or work culture," he adds. "Good employees must be 'available'… (even) after hours and on weekends."
Indeed, media multi-tasking sounds, at first glance, like a boon for productivity. If we can do two things at once, we can do twice the amount in the same length of time, or the same amount in half the time. Either way, it's a nifty trick.
But it's not quite as simple as that, as my frustrating evening demonstrated. A raft of studies has found that, actually, multi-tasking is a good way to do several things badly.
For example, studies by Gloria Mark, professor of informatics at the University of California, have found that when people are continually distracted from one task, they work faster but produce less.
Another found that students solving a maths puzzle took 40% longer - and suffered more stress - when they were made to multi-task.Clumsy switching
And researchers at Stanford University found that regular multi-taskers are actually quite bad at it. In a series of tests that required switching attention from one task to another, heavy multi-task had slower response times than those who rarely multi tasked.
What that suggests, the researchers say, is that multi-task are more easily distracted by irrelevant information. The more we multi-task, the less we are able to focus properly on just one thing.
Damon Young thinks where media and communications are concerned, we're not made for multi-tasking.
"When we move from our job to an e-mail, it takes about a minute to recover our train of thought," he says. "And then we get another e-mail, or an SMS, so our concentration is fractured. The result? We're not really multi-tasking. We're switching between tasks in an unfocused or clumsy way."
And unfocused can mean unproductive. US studies have shown that students who do homework while watching television get consistently lower grades.
Yet, in other areas, we seem to be dab hands at multi-tasking. We can walk and talk, after all. And if that sounds a bit simplistic, we can also control a large slab of speeding metal while holding an intelligent conversation with the person in the passenger seat.Mirror, signal, sing-a-long
Some of this, says Professor John Duncan, a behavioural neuroscientist at Cambridge University, is down to practice. When you're learning to drive, changing gear takes all your focus. When you've been driving for 10 years, you can change gear, check your mirrors and sing along to the radio, all at the same time.
So some familiar tasks are easier to do simultaneously. In that respect, our brains are brilliant parallel processors. But according to Professor Duncan, that's usually the case only if the tasks are sufficiently different.
How best to 'multi-task'
If you want to be productive it's best not to multi-task at all, says Dave Crenshaw, a productivity coach and author of The Myth of Multitasking.
"When people attempt to multi-task, what they are really doing is switching rapidly back and forth between tasks, what I call 'switchtasking'. These switches cause people to lose time, and be incredibly less productive."
If you have to multi-task, at least try and take control of your technology.
"Your mobile phone ringer doesn't need to be on all the time. You can turn off computer e-mail notification as well. Become master over the nagging beeps and buzzes by creating some silence."
Crenshaw also says we should schedule times to switch our attention, rather than doing it randomly or from habit.
"Set regular times in the day and week to check your email and voicemail. If you participate actively in social media, as I do, have set times where you can focus on it."
"There were experiments in the 50s when subjects were played two speech messages at the same time, and were asked to concentrate on one," he says. "It's quite amazing how little they took in from the other one."
Amazing, but as it turns out, quite logical. "The brain has very specialised modules for different tasks, like language processing and spatial recognition. It stands to reason that two similar tasks are much harder to do simultaneously, because they're using similar bits of tissue."
Neuropsychologist Professor Keith Laws says genuine high-level multi-tasking is impossible in humans.
"The general understanding people have of multi-tasking is a bit of a misnomer. I've never seen any examples of anyone who can do three or even two intelligent tasks simultaneously," says Prof Laws.
Which is probably why we seem to have trouble multi-tasking with media. Driving and talking doesn't use the same bits of brain. Answering an e-mail while chatting on the phone does. In effect, we are creating information bottlenecks.
"What we really mean by multi-tasking," says Prof Laws, "is the ability to plan and devise strategies to do all the tasks we have to do and navigate our way through them."
But if consuming a plethora of media at one time is impossible there is evidence some people are better than others at switching between them rapidly.
And there is some truth in the adage that women outperform men in this, says Prof Laws - although the weight of evidence is by no means as strong as many people assume.
Last month he reported back on an experiment which, he claims, provides the first concrete evidence women are better multi-taskers than men. Until then, the belief had been just that - a belief.
"Until now the theory has largely been folklore," he says, "[It's] a bit like the folklore which perpetuates the belief that men are better at concentrating on one task at a time."
Below is a selection of your comments.
Surely it all depends on what you are watching on TV and what the other task is that you are doing. For instance, watching a football match or a music video does not need the same attention as a documentary; so watching football and texting is easy to do, or keep up to date on Facebook, Twitter or whatever. However, trying to help a small child do something, and watching a documentary is not on.
Wel,l I can listen and speak in a conversation while I type this. But I can't really concentrate on what words to type and lay the words down accurately if I am consciously engaged in listening and speaking. The focus switches between the "tasks" very rapidly. But it does switch - which means I am serial-tasking with the appearance of multi-tasking. Where people say they can't multi-task, I believe they are saying they can't switch focus quickly.
I do think that as a culture, our ability to absorb information and switch between sources, and tasks, has greatly increased over the past century. I was struck by the article earlier this week about the woman, 114 years ago, who was killed by a car going at 4 mph, because she couldn't process her perceptions quickly enough to take a life-saving step or two to the side.
Have children and a family and you have to learn to multi-task. Only a woman would really understand that. Who really cares about email and Twitter and voice mail. There is another, much more important, side to life than being a nerdy business obsessive. Half of what is wrong with society in the 21st century is that no-one knows how to communicate any more without sitting in front of a screen.
When suggested that female colleagues are better at multitasking I have acquiesced, but suggested that of the 3 things they are doing 2 of them are gossiping and thinking about shoes...
I think it's interesting that most (not all) of the people in your report - and the journalist himself - are male, and they seem to conclude that multi-tasking is probably not possible to do successfully, or at least over-rated. But ask many women, who sucessfully do it all the time, and you'd probably get very different answers. Depends who you ask, and what tasks they're doing.
It is certainly a myth that women are better at multi-tasking. I have selflessly devoted my adult life to a close observation research exercise called marriage. What happens in "multi-tasking" is that women don't actually finish what they started before they become distracted by something else (the phone ringing, the kettle boiling, a conversation, a domestic appliance ending its cycle with a beep etc). As a result they accumulate a number of objects as they revolve around (mixing bowl in hands, phone under chin, foot holding fridge door open etc) which give a superficial impresson of doing several things at once. In fact they are doing one thing at a time with several things held in part suspension as reminders of what they have to come back to.
Working as a receptionist and admin assistant often requires "switchtasking" as the phone will ring, or someone will require my attention - on top of the demands of those senior to me with their admin support requests. I have to work hard to prioritise my tasks efficiently. Attempting to multitask does ultimately slow down my productivity and I get less work satisfaction from trying as I constantly feel snowed under!
