Alimony Bill Would Let Rich Dudes Who Cheat on Their Wives Off Easier
HB549 would amount to a massive rewrite of the state's alimony laws. Most intriguing, if the bill became law, it would forbid judges from factoring in instances of adultery into their alimony decision. It would also cap the amount and length of alimony payments.
"My initial take is that it's basically anti-woman and anti-alimony," Richard West, past president of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, tells the Orlando Sentinel. "More importantly, the bill was not very well thought-out."
He also calls the bill "the lawyer's relief act," because it would allow existing divorce settlements to be reopened and renegotiated under the new laws.
Even a guy who used to represent Elin Nordegren, Tiger Wood's ex-wife, calls the bill "draconian."
Workman, though, unlike his staunch defense of his dwarf-tossing bill, seems to be backing down. He says he'll remove language that would place a cap on alimony payments, but has yet to do so.
"A cap is a bad idea," he says. "If I had thought through it, I would have realized that."
Really? Isn't that your job? To think through the bills you write that could affect hundreds of thousands of people in the state before you introduce them? Oy.
Workman finalized his own divorce November 2 but says the bill would not affect him because he is not paying alimony.

Getty Images for NASCAR (March 26, 2013) |
Sunday's race at the Auto Club Speedway was quite an exciting affair or so I heard. I didn't actually get to watch the race. I was instead listing as I was driving back from covering the Wichita State women in the NCAA tournament.
And I didn't get to hear the end of the race. Believe it or not there is no radio station in the beautiful town of Oklahoma City that carries the race and I lost both the radio signal and 3G service at the same time. Just my luck.
Thankfully, I had enough of a signal to see Twitter. I pulled over to get some gas and feverishly kept hitting that refresh button. I was first captivated by reports of a wreck and a fight. Then frightened by reports of a driver on a stretcher. And then, horrified by the tone of the tweets declaring "NASCAR is back" and tracks lauding the finish and exclaiming "get your tickets now."
I didn't get it. I only had one thought on my mind. How is Denny Hamlin?
I have covered NASCAR for more than 10 years now. It's not my only beat and I don't really know the drivers personally. But I have been around them enough to appreciate that they are real living breathing human beings with families and friends that care about them. They are not some characters on a tv show as we sometimes seem to treat them.
It's been 13 seasons since we lost Dale Earnhardt. And we have become way too relaxed about the danger in this sport. Carl Edwards flies into the stands in Talladega, he walks away. Kyle Larson does the same in Daytona and is not injured. We treat these accidents like they are video games. You wreck the car, you hit reset and you go back on the track.
Denny Hamlin's hit on Sunday was vicious. I have watched the replays. Safety advances saved his life. But he does have a broken back, which proves this was a close call for all drivers. It's time the sport to start asking some tough questions. Why was there no SAFER barrier where Hamlin hit? Why are we celebrating an action by a driver that could have resulted in a drivers death? Does a driver have to die before things change?
Turning a driver at Bristol at 100 mph is different then doing it at Fontana going 200 mph. From the moment Joey Logano admitted he wrecked Hamlin on purpose, he should have be parked for at least one race. Everyone in the sport knows the difference between Bristol and Auto Club Speedway. And we all know when the appropriate time for retaliation is. Boys have at it does not mean drive recklessly in a way that endangers other drivers and fans.
People keep defending Joey saying he didn't know how bad the accident was when he made his comments to FOX. Maybe not, but he knows that turning someone at 200 mph at Fontana is dangerous. And the media members, track promoters and fans gushing about the finish of the race did know. They could all see Hamlin on the stretcher, and then being airlifted out. Maybe that's not the time to be declaring "get your tickets now for the rematch at X track."
Look, I love a good rivalry. I blogged about Logano vs Hamlin last week. It was fun, until someone got hurt.

Visiting Student from California
I enjoyed seeing the amount of international learning that the Reqelforders do. I was very impressed to see that the students communicated through email with other students from around the globe. The technology in class is very impressive. I can't believe this school has only been around for a year. There are soo many programs that the school offers to soo many students"

Let's talk about sex: How to work with teen patients and their parents
Many parents wait until their children are in their later teen years to broach the topic of sex, but it's better to talk about it earlier, said Jacqueline M. Kaari, DO, in an OMED presentation today. The pediatrician can play a pivotal role in facilitating this conversation, she noted.
"We should make this part of our anticipatory care," said Dr. Kaari, the chair of pediatrics at the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, N.J. "We should discuss sexuality education with parents even when their children are very young and help them see how they can develop this lifelong communication."
"We should discuss sexuality education with parents even when their children are very young."
Dr. Kaari
Dr. Kaari suggested advising parents to weave the topics into everyday conversation throughout the child's life rather than having a big "sex talk" only once. Some opportunities to casually bring up reproduction with young children include the birth of an animal, the birth of a sibling or a birth in a neighbor or relative's family.
And when children are about 13 years old, Dr. Kaari suggested that physicians meet with them separately from their parents to talk with them confidentially about any concerns they may have. In these meetings, Dr. Kaari also lets children know that they can call her on their own if they ever need anything and that what they tell her is confidential information that she won't share with their parents.
However, Dr. Kaari also urges young patients to talk with their parents about their worries if they haven't yet. Some parents are reluctant to speak to their kids about sex but will rise to the occasion when prodded, she noted.
"It's of course very hard for parents to see their children as sexual beings as they become older," she said. "But they really need to give them some groundwork and information so that they are healthy and they can make the right decisions for themselves."
Giving good information
Today's children often live in the age of smartphones and the Internet. They have access to unprecedented amounts of information, not all of it reputable, Dr. Kaari noted.
"Children can get information about sex from the Internet and from their friends," she said. "Even if parents are carefully watching what their children are doing, some of their friends' parents may not be monitoring what they're seeing on the Internet as closely."
The best way parents can prevent children from getting bad information is to foster open dialogue with their children. Pediatricians can help too, Dr. Kaari said. They can provide resources, such as pamphlets and good websites, to help parents guide the conversations and tell teens where to find more information.
Parents can visit Familyplanning.org to further educate themselves and can also find resources for parents from the American Sexual Health Association.
For teens, Dr. Kaari suggested the following websites: Kidshealth.org, Sexetc.org and Iwannaknow.org.
"[Adolescent patients] may be reluctant to ask us some of this information even though we try to open these areas of communication," she said. "So we really want to be sure that it's available to them and that they know what the online resources are and also what the community resources are."
And physicians should check The Guttmacher Institute to read about the laws in their state regarding adolescent confidentiality and health care, Dr. Kaari said.
Attendee April Kurkowski, DO, said the resources were her favorite part of the presentation.
"You can never have enough resources, especially on this topic," said Dr. Kurkowski, a family physician from Kalkaska, Mich.
Karen Jacobs, DO, noted that the presentation reiterated the importance of incorporating sex education into one's practice.
"We do have a problem with teen pregnancy here in the U.S. compared to other countries," said Dr. Jacobs, a family physician from Brandon, Fla. "I think it's because we don't talk about sex or sexuality enough.
"Another important aspect is that society now accepts gays and transgender people. Teens who are struggling with these issues need to know they have an advocate they can come to. Sometimes they just don't know where to go. It's nice to be that person for them."

ePassporte No Longer Supports Online Poker Market in USA
Mon, Apr 14th, 2008 @ 12:00am
ePassporte, one of the few e-wallets that still served US residents, has withdrawn from serving online poker players in the USA, according to emails client sites such as Full Tilt Poker and Cake Poker received and shared publicly, though the firm has published no public statement.
In their letter to the sites, ePassporte management said that "...a widespread investigation of Internet gambling, including poker by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Southern New York" is responsible for their decision, reported Poker News.com. "Although we do not believe we have done anything illegal, we do not wish to be associated with anything that might be considered illegal by the United States Government," their letter continued.
Notably, this is the same jurisdiction that prosecuted Neteller's co-founders.
Cake Poker emailed players, saying, "We have received notice from ePassporte today that they are unable to continue to provide CakePoker with merchant e-wallet services. We have since confirmed that this situation is not unique to CakePoker and is, in fact, industry wide."
Likewise, Full Tilt Poker told players, "We have recently been notified by ePassporte that they are no longer able to facilitate deposits or withdrawals between ePassporte and Full Tilt Poker player accounts."
Unofficial reports suggest that customers are still able to withdraw ePassporte funds from their online accounts via electronic file transfer and ATM card methods.
Industry observers felt that ePassporte's decision to support only online poker, and not other forms of online gambling the way Neteller did, would protect them from U.S prosecution.

This is a discussion on Here we go again: School Shooting within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/02/14/...ing/index.html...
How did this shooting take place if guns are not allowed on campus? If they had been allowed, maybe the shooting victim could have protected himself and they might not have to look so hard for the shooter.

Wow, incredibly vague report.
The shooting reported in a campus building, then it turns out it was by some campus buildings, which could mean anything up to and including on the edge of campus property.Authorities were alerted at 11:51 a.m. about a shooting in a basic and applied science building located in a cluster of university structures.
"From what I understand, there were two men who got into an argument over by some of our buildings," Tozer said. "One shot the other in the hand, then took off."
Just enough to get the grass eaters panicked.
Grasseater // Grass~eat~er noun, often attributive \ˈgras-ē-tər\
A person who is incapable of independent thought; a person who is herd animal-like in behavior; one who cannot distinguish between right and wrong; a foolish person.

IMO this wasn't a school shooting, but rather a shooting at a school. It looks like those involved knew each other and there was no connection to the school. Drug deal gone bad was my first impression.
From Channel 5 News report here last night.
"Police say Macklin is a current MTSU student. Morrow is a former student, but is not currently enrolled in classes. Investigators said the two knew each other previously, ran into each other on campus, and then got into an argument that quickly turned violent.
Morrow also toldNews Channel 5 he feels blessed to be alive. He said he and Macklin had met before because they are both from Memphis, but didn't know each other well. As for the reason behind their disagreement, Morrow said their two groups of friends just don't get along."
Does the word Gangs come to mind to anybody?
"As for the reason behind their disagreement, Morrow said their two groups of friends just don't get along."
Huh? Since when did college/university campuses turn into high schools? Sad.

Sells fakes, no protection for buyer, no redress of complaints, pathetic customer service. My multiple complaints raised over a five month period one after the other for one single order are still lying unresolved. Customer service staff are always clueless and have one tape-recorded message to play. No escalation channel either. All in all - worst experience ever.

World Ventures Review: World Ventures was founded a few years ago by Wayne Nugent and Mike Azcue. Steve little is the top money earner in World Ventures. I have to admit that I have firsthand experience in World Ventures because it was the first MLM I joined about 3 years ago. Their focus is on travel and vacations. You basically pay a few hundred bucks and get your name on a booking website and have an option to become a "Dreamtrips" member. These Dreamtrip vacations are typically better priced than what you could book on your own. However, a big downfall is they are pre-determined dates with no flexibility in scheduling. There are no tangible products in World Ventures.
On the positive side, World Ventures has one of the absolute best training programs in the entire Network Marketing industry for new MLM reps. They charge their members an arm and a leg for these trainings which are usually around $300 for a weekend. Marc Accetta directs the trainings and he does a good overall job for inexperienced people in MLM. The problem with the training is Marc Accetta is still stuck in the 90's with his training style. He suggests making a list of all your family, friends, and talk to everyone within "three feet of you." They do not teach you how to use modern technology like SEO, Google PPC, Social Media, Blogs, etc which are HUGE weapons for the modern day recruiter. I would suggest spending that money seeing someone like Anthony Robbins instead.
The World Ventures Compensation Plan has some MAJOR FLAWS. The 5% commissions I made from bookings on my travel website were a joke as you don't get paid for domestic airfare. The comp plan is the largest drawback for people involved in World Ventures. This is what prevents them from being the largest MLM in the world. If they fix it…watch out. They have what I call a "Restricted Binary Comp Plan"..let me explain…you need 180 active members between 2 teams (90 on the right and 90 on the left in a perfect world) to even start a residual income with the company. Over 99% of people who join World Ventures will never get to this residual income level(see their income disclosure and look at Director level http://www.scribd.com/doc/28453032/World-Ventures-Income-Disclosure-2009 )
Not only do they make it harder for their reps by having lineage hurdles to clear..but in recent years they added a 90 day average earnings to get promoted in ranks. This has frozen a lot of their reps at lower levels of income and increased what the owners get to take home each month. Maybe the owners are just smarter than everyone else. It's the American way where people who just look at the numbers could choose to leave or stay chasing a dream that they have a 99% chance at failure. I was one of those people and I actually recruited over 40 personal reps in my first year. The problem was nobody I recruited wanted to go to hotel meetings every week, lunch meetings everyday, or home business parties over and over.
Even though I may have some minor criticism for World Ventures, I do not think they are a scam. I do think they are probably better than any of the other travel based MLMs because of the DreamTrips and the Training for new reps. But join with cautious optimism because there is a 99% chance you will not earn a residual income…ever….with World Ventures. If you are currently in World Ventures and looking to gain some momentum and have a chance to be in the top 1% you will want to get yourself an online marketing system to generate flow of leads like this http://www.MLMonlinemagic.com

quote:If we take nothing else away from Rachel Jeantel's testimony, it should be this: Literacy involves more than being able to read and write. It involves the ability to effectively operate in the overall society when it matters most. Unfortunately, Rachel failed this test. We will see how it affects the outcome of this trial, and whether it helps or hurts the prosecution's case.
quote:Ebony, a history-making Black publication, could have penned a thought-provoking piece about how far we have fallen from this cultural norm, how we must return to it, and how we can begin again. Instead, the editorial writer went into attack mode: "The chastising of this woman's speech and body language belied the fact that many themselves were rejecting their own self-reflection. For far too many of our community members that epitomize Drake's 'started from the bottom' mantra would like to forget the places from whence they came."
quote:It would be wonderful if this sparked a wider conversation on the failure of modern Blacks to instill a love of words, literacy, and knowledge in our young, and greater still, the failure to encourage and teach our children how to maneuver outside of their everyday reality.
quote:As a Black woman I have been ridiculed for "talking white" and "thinking I'm white" because I navigate quite well outside of Black culture. Frankly, I would rather take that type of flack than be an embarrassment across worldwide media because of my inability to do so.
quote:Christina Coleman, writer at the Global Grind, takes the "you're not black enough to understand Rachel" tack: snip This excuse is not only lousy, but lazy. Some critics of Rachel Jeantel may have come from the bottom, some may come from a middle class background, while others may even be upper class. But here is what we all have in common: Parents (single and otherwise) who made sure that no matter how down and fly we were at home, we knew how to interact, engage, and compete outside of the home. This is a necessary component in finding success for any person of any background or race. Knowing this was one way to ensure you did not stay at the bottom, and you were not limited in your opportunities.
quote:Rachel Jeantel's lack of literacy is a Rachel Jeantel problem
quote:Christina Coleman
quote:She has the same public education that most of us have.
quote:Rachel Jeantel's lack of literacy is a societal problem
quote:no it's not. it's a cultural norm within the community from which she hails. it's the product of 70% single parent homes promoted by the welfare plantation.
quote:I'd bet a mulleted redneck could read their own hand writing
quote: The difference being, the mulleted redneck would be expected to be responsible for his situation in life.

Transactivating response region DNA binding protein (TDP-43) is the major protein component of ubiquitinated inclusions found in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with ubiquitinated inclusions. Two ALS-causing mutants (TDP-43(Q331K) and TDP-43(M337V)), but not wild-type human TDP-43, are shown here to provoke age-dependent, mutant-dependent, progressive motor axon degeneration and motor neuron death when expressed in mice at levels and in a cell type-selective pattern similar to endogenous TDP-43. Mutant TDP-43-dependent degeneration of lower motor neurons occurs without: (i) loss of TDP-43 from the corresponding nuclei, (ii) accumulation of TDP-43 aggregates, and (iii) accumulation of insoluble TDP-43. Computational analysis using splicing-sensitive microarrays demonstrates alterations of endogenous TDP-43-dependent alternative splicing events conferred by both human wild-type and mutant TDP-43(Q331K), but with high levels of mutant TDP-43 preferentially enhancing exon exclusion of some target pre-mRNAs affecting genes involved in neurological transmission and function. Comparison with splicing alterations following TDP-43 depletion demonstrates that TDP-43(Q331K) enhances normal TDP-43 splicing function for some RNA targets but loss-of-function for others. Thus, adult-onset motor neuron disease does not require aggregation or loss of nuclear TDP-43, with ALS-linked mutants producing loss and gain of splicing function of selected RNA targets at an early disease stage.

The school board paid benefits consultant William M. Mercer, Inc., $275,000 to shepherd the district through a challenging restructure of its health plans, owing to changes in the industry that have occurred since the district's last major bid five years ago. With rising health care and prescription drug costs, company mergers, and huge financial losses in recent years by Florida HMOs, the challenge is to find companies that can provide acceptable service for reasonable prices. HIP's 1997 to 2001 contract with the school district is one of the factors previous company executives had blamed for the HMO's troubles, because the company was locked into a pricing scheme that failed to take into account industry inflation in the past few years. Outrageous fees to lobbyists, numerous contributions to political campaigns, and lucrative executive perks may also have played a role in the company's near demise before Scott.
To make the numbers work this time around, HIP's prices will have to go up. The school board was paying $188.53 per employee two years ago and $238.87 this year. The new rate would be $254.43. That, and the uncertainty of HIP's long-term financial viability, led the consultants to recommend against the insurance provider. "We would like to point out that the pricing ... is in excess of other competitive quotations, and that the Board must remain diligent in monitoring HIP's financial condition," consultant Lew Yeouze wrote in a June 26 letter to Scott Clark, head of the district's Risk and Benefits Management Office. Sherman Henry, president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, the union local that represents the school district's custodians, bus drivers, and cafeteria workers, puts it more bluntly: "HIP's rates are sky high, and quite frankly we don't think they will be in the insurance business much longer. It's strictly economics here. I have no other agenda. We can't agree with that nonsense that Tornillo is putting forth."
Henry represents one of the handful of labor unions and employee organizations that sit on the Fringe Benefits Council, an advisory board that suggests insurance plans to the superintendent and the school board. He's especially unhappy with Tornillo's plan to finance a four percent salary increase by taking the money from the dollars available to employees for extra benefits (the "extra" amount varies depending on the cost of the medical plan an employee chooses). Henry figures this move would cost his members $41.08 per month that they would normally use for benefits such as dental and vision plans.
In a July 10 meeting, Superintendent Cuevas told Tornillo he would recommend two major insurers to the school board, and neither one was going to be HIP. He also said he would not recommend the less-insurance-for-more-salary proposal. Tornillo told the superintendent that was unacceptable to the union and, according to Henry, threatened to "bring the entire process to a halt." Some of the other unions back Tornillo's proposals at least partially because UTD is the largest and most politically powerful union in South Florida. A review of the minutes of the last several Fringe Benefits Council meetings clearly shows that Tornillo is far and away its most influential member. He has used that dominance to keep HIP Health Plan of Florida in the running despite the reservations of consultants, staff, and some other unions.
The union claims its motivation is simply to accommodate employees who want to stay with a familiar health insurance company, since United Healthcare, the school district's other current major insurer with about 22,000 customers, won't be part of the new health plan. Why make the entire workforce of 39,000 have to choose another provider? Tornillo asks. "[HIP] currently covers 15,000 of our employees," he says. "They have the right to make the decision about whether they want to continue using HIP." Tornillo admits that lobbyist Sisser does "pro bono work for us" in the area of legislation and politics, but contends that the union's position on HIP has nothing to do with the money Sisser stands to make from the deal. "Ric Sisser's arrangements with HIP are his business and not the business of the union," he stonily proclaims. Asked how much that free work might be worth if the union was paying Sisser, Tornillo replies, "I have no idea, and I'm not about to speculate."
But it looks as though UTD already is winning on the public-relations front through a monthly radio show on WMBM-AM (1490), press conferences, letter-writing campaigns, and demonstrations that present insurance negotiations and a salary increase as a package deal. The school board is in a weak position to argue that it doesn't have the money for salary increases. The district, through the highly publicized foolishness of Cuevas and the school board, is perceived in the community as a mismanaged bureaucracy saddled with politicians eager to waste money on questionable land deals, lawsuits, and pet projects. So how could it possibly deny teachers their two bits?
What will probably happen is that the school district will contract with the consensus favorites Cigna and Humana, plus HIP on the side for those employees willing to pay higher premiums for continuity's sake. There will be a compromise of some kind on the salary increase. Perhaps the money will come from a different source or a combination of sources. The scuttlebutt among administrators and board members is that it won't matter if HIP is one of the insurance choices, because employees won't pick it. Clark says HIP is the most expensive HMO offering, about $26 per month more expensive than its closest competitor. "At the end of the day, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other," he concludes. "I think not many people will enroll in it, and it may kind of die its own death."

Coach Kim – Certified Running Coach:
USA Track and Field Level I Coach, Lydiard Level II, Newton and RRCA (Road Runners Club of America)
**Download the 2015 Training Strategy I presented on ESPN 1510 on January 20, 2015 by following this link. )
As a runner and fitness enthusiast, I enjoy pushing my body and mind to achieve things previously believed were "impossible." As a coach, I believe that everyone has the ability to become who they want to be.
Friendships are made, ideas are born and lives are changed through running. So often in life, all we can see is the prize. We work toward a goal, enduring pain and inconvenience because we believe the end result is worth it. And, if we fall short of the outcome we desired, we are filled with disappointment. I want you to fall in love with running. I want you to enjoy the process.
I want you to reach your goal a changed person… and be able to say that every moment you spent training was worth the time and effort invested. (READ MORE about my coaching philosophy here)
READY TO TRAIN for a marathon? Looking for a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon or Marathon PR? Need help with running form? Take a look at my Coaching Packages.
What coaching clients are saying - "I worked with Kim on my second Marathon. What has made my experience so great is the customization of my plan and working on specific goals. The results spoke for themselves, I ran a stronger marathon and even at recovery week I felt much better than my previous one. I'm now training for my 3rd marathon and I look forward continuing to work with Kim and getting her awesome messages on a weekly basis that make me want to work harder to achieve my goals." – Marissa

The Door In The Floor
The first act of John Irving's novel "A Widow For One Year" serves as the blueprint for this riveting drama directed by upstart powerhouse filmmaker Tod Williams ("The Adventures of Sebastian Cole"). Jeff Bridges gives a finely crafted performance as Ted Cole, author of children's books, who orchestrates a separation from his aggrieved wife Marion (Kim Basinger) during the summer of '58 to keep custody of their four-year-old daughter Ruth (Elle Fanning). The accidental death of the couple's two sons sets up a vulnerable relationship that Ted exploits to prey on women while hiring a teen-aged assistant (Jon Foster) to fall in love with his wife and service her inverted oedipal desires. Complex, candid, and satisfying "The Door In The Floor" beckons back to the socially provocative American films of the late '60s and early '70s. It is an adult drama with characters you sympathize with in spite of their immoral behavior.

The top ten finishers in each Grand Prix score points towards both the drivers and the constructors world championships, according to the following scale:
1st : 25 points
2nd : 18 points
3rd : 15 points
4th : 12 points
5th : 10 points
6th : 8 points
7th : 6 points
8th : 4 points
9th : 2 points
10th : 1 point
(The only exceptions to this is when a race is suspended and cannot be restarted, in which case if less than 75 percent of the race distance has been completed half points are awarded, and if less than two laps have been completed, no points are awarded.)
For example, if in a given race Daniil Kvyat finishes second for Red Bull and team mate Daniel Ricciardo fifth, then Kvyat and Ricciardo score 18 and ten points respectively towards the drivers championship, while Red Bull score 28 points (18 plus 10) towards the constructors championship.
The drivers' and constructors' championship titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who score the most points over the course of the season. In the case of a dead heat for a championship place then the driver or constructor with the higher number of superior race results will be awarded the place.

Guidelines for Core Population-Based Indicators
These guidelines were developed to provide country partners with technical guidance on the detailed specifications of the core indicators that can be measured through household surveys, the data required for their construction, and issues related to their interpretation. Details of the data collection methods required for estimating these indicators through national-level household surveys are also provided. The purpose of such guidelines is to maximize internal consistency and comparability of the indicators across countries and over time, and to ensure consistency in the types of data collection methods used.
This document provides a description of core impact and outcome indicators, measurement tools, and measurement and data collection methods. It also describes guidelines for constructing each core impact/outcome indicator for population coverage.
It should be noted that the indicators and measurement tools described in this guide were developed in the context of the high malaria burden countries of Africa. In other settings, such as South-East Asia and Latin America, a more targeted approach to monitoring and evaluation is necessary, and the use of large, nationally representative surveys to measure coverage may not be necessary or may be deployed less frequently.

It doesn't matter whether you're a hair color virgin or veteran—we could all use some help choosing a shade from time to time. From icy platinum blonde to raven black, consult the celebrity hair color wheel to find your next mane look.
Blonde: Gwen Stefani
Gwen's signature platinum is the stuff hair color dreams are made of. For those not naturally fair-haired, the upkeep is ridiculous and the peroxide damage insurmountable, but hey, it's a small price to pay for the coolest, most rock princess-y hair this side of Tragic Kingdom.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Blonde: Jaime King
You'd never know Jaime wasn't a natural blonde—that's because a sunny, warm-leaning shade like this one is super versatile and flattering on a wide variety of skin tones. With this hue, all you need is a touch of bronzer to keep the summery look alive all year long.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Blonde: Sienna Miller
Hellbent on going blonde, but feeling anxious about making the leap? A dark golden blonde like Sienna's is perfectly attainable for natural brunettes, and because it's been colored with a slight ombre gradient that's darker at the roots, nobody will ever notice a few inches of regrowth.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Blonde: Blake Lively
The lowlights in this buttery beige hue blur the lines between dark blonde and light brown, so it's a happy medium for those who are feeling, shall we say, non-committal. Face-framing highlights in a paler blonde brighten the face and keep a neutral color from looking dim.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Red: Bella Thorne
Bella's strawberry blonde is pretty enough to turn even the most faithful brunettes green with envy. Unfortunately, they'll have to hit the bleach to attain the look, but heads up to blondes—just apply a reddish glaze for a warm gingery glow the easy way.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Red: Amy Adams
A medium auburn looks gorgeous on everyone, but it's particularly striking (and dare we say, almost natural-looking?) on those with fairer skin and light eyes. A peachy blush imparts the perfect flushed contrast.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Red: Christina Hendricks
If you feel like you were just born to stand out from the crowd, a vivid shade like Christina's could do the trick. Use a color-depositing gloss once or twice a week to keep fast-fading red dye looking fresh.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Red: Emma Stone
Emma has been blonde for the past few years, but her rich, glossy dark red still makes the list as one of the best celebrity hair colors of all time. As with other red shades, it's beyond important to use super gentle color-safe products. It also can't hurt to make an effort to wash less frequently—the less you shampoo, and the better you treat your hair, the longer you'll be able to hold on to the fickle pigment.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Brown: Jessica Biel
Whatever your skin tone or natural hair color, there's no going wrong with a soft, cool light brown. Weekly moisturizing hair masks and a drop of oil for styling keep this foolproof shade looking as gorgeous as it did when you stepped out of the salon.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Brown: Elizabeth Olsen
Some are lucky enough to have been born with this classic chocolate brown, but for everyone else—from the palest blonde to the deepest black—it's blissfully easy to achieve and maintain with the help of a good stylist (or, shhhh, a good permanent box dye).
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Brown: Megan Fox
Every hair color has its place, but Megan is living, breathing proof that what was once regarded as "boring" brown hair is perhaps the sultriest shade of all. A deep, inky brown is easy to care for, and it really, truly looks good on everyone.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Black: Freida Pinto
There are highlights and lowlights in Freida's super dark hair, but hers is almost as black as natural black gets. Gorgeous (and also, we assume, natural) red and brown undertones make this particular color anything but flat.
The Ultimate Celebrity Hair Color Wheel
Black: Katy Perry
Katy isn't fooling anyone—we all know she wasn't born with this single-toned raven hair—but hey, if it ain't broke, don't ... dye it back to your natural color. Artificial black hair can look crazy cool with fair skin and light eyes like Katy's.

Factory built housing.
Gary L Holmes Architect, GLH ConstructionOctober 8, 2012
Factory built housing has been an architectural objective since we began building shelters. With the exception of mobile homes, it hasn't become a reality yet, & mobile homes don't try for architecture anyway. This may be changing, CA. has in place Factory Built Housing regulations for CA Building Code approved and factory inspected custom designs. Irontown Homes in Utah is shipping custom designs to CA. BluHomes in Vallejo has built and installed the Sunset Idea Home of 2012 in Healdsburg. There's light looking through the tunnel.

Modular homes are factory built homes for the most part and can have plenty of architectural interest.
Custom Home Planning Center
I did my first Structural insulate panel house in 1982 and it took 22 years for it to gain as a significant consideration. I don't expect the record for modulars or architectural mobile homes to make much of an inroad for at least another 10 years. Housing and builders and to a degree the buyers do not like change, even if it improves the home.
Gary L Holmes Architect, GLH Construction
I agree, the hurdles for Factory Built Housing to break into the conventional housing marketplace are formidable. But BluHomes (bluhomes.com) and Irontown Homes (irontownhomes.com) are doing it now, not 10 years from now. Their architectural design and green material flow gets them into any neighborhood and the current California Factory Built Housing ordinance formalizes the approval process for modulars. Personally I don't think they are currently providing cost savings and construction time savings commensurate with a factory produced product, but their customers are fanatical about the benefits they feel they're receiving over conventional construction. We'll see if factory built benefits start to deliver before customer buzz runs out of steam. In the meantime, housing designers should be informed about this approach for when the right client and the right site comes along.
Custom Home Planning Center
I tried to work out a house design with a few of the local modular building companies here in Va. two said our designs we build not yours. The other was willing, but hadn't gotten the green aspect into production. I do like the Wisconsin company that is doing modular concrete for coastal applications. It is still an industry that is dependent on the buyers perception of value not its' true value. I'd like to see a modular association develop a distress response team to boldly go in to areas like Katrina or Sandy or tornado destroyed or wild fire areas supported by Federal grants, rather than mold infested over priced trailers.
Gary L Holmes Architect, GLH Construction
Getting a housing factory to build a custom design is sometimes like fitting a square peg in a round hole. My earlier mention of bluhomes and irontown homes is an example; bluhomes does their designs, irontown homes will do your design with their factory procedures. If you can find modules that work for your design that can be arranged the way you want them not the way the manufacturer laid them out that might be easiest. Here's a link that looks pretty comprehensive covering factory builders across the country:
Hope that may help you find a willing custom factory builder.
I like your idea about getting FEMA to use modulars for disaster relief. I worked in Operation Breakthrough by HUD in the 70's, "bureaucracy city" but they finally got some units built. They eventually found out the factories have to be reasonably local because delivery has to be affordable.

Thanks Elise, that's a fascinating site about Sears Modern Homes, I'll take some time and enjoy it. I did take a second and Google about what stopped the Sears program. This site, http://itotd.com/articles/610/sears-modern-homes/ says it was the Depression, so maybe when we get out of this current recession there will be another chance for Sears Modern Homes.
Karoleena has wonderful modern prefabs and ships/installs anywhere, customization is not a problem but there pretty chic I must say. So even there standard finishes are nothing to scrunch your nose up about. Worth a look, now I have to check out the sears archives link :)
Gary, You're right the Depression ended it. Also FDR started ramping up WWII preparations in 1939, and by 1940 most factories were converting to war manufacturing efforts. So that fits the timeline of the Sears Modern Homes decline also as profits were able to be made elsewhere.

I'm getting ready to try again with the apartment portion of my 2013 "parade of homes" house. It meets the transportation and construction size that was defined by my last go round and it will sit on a cast in place foundation behind the garage as a 1 bedroom 850 sq. foot unit. I'm bridging 32' with the master bedroom to the front of the where the remainder of the house is on slab. I'm using the under apartment
basement as a safe room with only a couple of high windows and an egress from under the bridge portion of the house. I'll take a look at your list for any manufactures I might have missed last time.

The male should be done now, but even than keep him away from her when he returns. Than spay your female. Is your German Shepherd purebred and papered? If not, please spay your female and enjoy your dogs, it's hard enough to find good homes for purebred, papered untitled puppies, unregistered is even harder and just not worth the risk and hassle.

Do you have a family member or a friend who would be willing to keep your female or male (inside) for now until the female's heat is over with? If not, I would keep your female inside of the house for now, say in the bathroom area or kitchen; if you cannot get access to a crate. I'm not sure what you have access to in India (What pet items are sold there or the laws pertaining to pets).

In a crazy game full of momentum swings, the Orlando Magic were able to defeat the New York Knicks by the score of 116-110 to extend their winning streak to three games. The Magic were led by a balanced attack, as five players scored in double-figures. Dwight Howard continues his brilliant play, finishing with 30 points, 16 rebounds, and five blocks. The Knicks' lack of size hurt them against the Magic, given that they had no one that could slow down Howard. Shelden Williams, Shawne Williams, Ronny Turiaf, and Amar'e Stoudemire each guarded Howard in different junctures of the game, and none of them were able to do anything against him. Jameer Nelson had one of his best games of the season, contributing with 26 points, four assists, and three rebounds. After a slow start in the first half, Nelson scored 23 of his 26 points in the third and fourth quarters. Chipping in off the bench were Quentin Richardson with 10 points, J.J. Redick with 12 points, and Ryan Anderson with 16 points. It's worth noting that Gilbert Arenas did not play due to a sore left knee, while Hedo Turkoglu got ejected in the second quarter after arguing a call. As such, different players — like Chris Duhon — had to step up in their absences and they were able to do so. Yeah, this was a weird game to watch.
In the first quarter, there was little Orlando could do wrong. The Magic jumped out to an 11-point lead in the period, thanks in large part because Howard could not be stopped offensively. Howard was relentless on the low block, converting hook shots with relative ease. When Howard wasn't busy doing that, he took to the sky and converted on several alley-oop connections from Nelson and Turkoglu. Plus, Orlando's defensive intensity was excellent and made things as difficult as possible for New York to execute on offense. As the Magic entered the second quarter, it seemed as if they were well on their way to a blowout victory. Not so fast.
From the start of the period until the 7:01 mark, Howard sat on the bench as head coach Stan Van Gundy gave him his usual rest. Unfortunately for Orlando, their lead evaporated quickly while Howard was a spectator. With Howard not anchoring the Magic offensively or defensively, the rest of the players on the roster were unable to pick up the slack and the Knicks took advantage. When Howard reentered the game, an 11-point lead was cut down to four points. And even with Howard back on the court, New York was able to develop momentum and take the lead as the quarter progressed. The Knicks can thank the efforts of Stoudemire and Billups. With New York dictating the pace, Stoudemire got into a rhythm on offense not only by making his jumpers but attacking the basket and being aggressive, drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. Billups, on the other hand, simply made a living at the charity stripe.
It was more of the same for most of the third quarter, as Carmelo Anthony took his turn to dominate offensively for the Knicks, scoring 10 points in the period. But Orlando slowly chipped away at the lead, cutting it to five points.
Things quickly changed in the fourth quarter, as the Magic grabbed momentum and surged into the lead thanks to a 5-man unit that worked wonders — Nelson, Jason and Quentin Richardson, Anderson, and Howard.
Quentin Richardson was a breathe of fresh air for Orlando, playing with energy and effort that trickled down to the rest of his teammates. Thanks to Richardson and Anderson making a few three-pointers, the Magic regained the lead at the 8:56 mark in the period and never relinquished it.
In fact, three-point shots were partly the main cause for Orlando's comeback. In the first half, the Magic made one three-pointer. Part of the reason that was the case was because New York was unable to contain Howard. As such, Orlando was encouraged to continue feeding Howard the basketball because he was scoring almost all the time. The problem that caused, however, was a lack of involvement from the supporting cast. A lot of times the Magic deal with inconsistency issues on offense and this is one of the reasons why. When Howard is playing well, maybe too well offensively, that creates a paradox in which Orlando is sometimes worse off because the perimeter players are unable to make an impact. Against the Knicks, that's what happened in the first and second quarters.
However, in the second half, the Magic were able to get contributions from the likes of Nelson, Richardson, Redick, and Anderson. As a result, Orlando began to make their three-pointers (seven in the half, five of them coming in the fourth quarter during the comeback) because players other than Howard were getting involved on offense. Such a strange phenomenon, but it was intriguing to watch. The player that stood out the most in the period was Nelson.
Even though Billups had his way with Nelson throughout the game, drawing fouls and getting to the free-throw line an obscene 20 times, this was a matchup that was not one-sided. Billups is not the same defender that he once was and even then, he's always had trouble defending Nelson dating back to his days with the Detroit Pistons. While Billups exploits Nelson with his strength, Nelson causes a lot of problems on the flipside with his quickness. That speed and athleticism was on display in the quarter, as Nelson did whatever he wanted offensively.
[6:26] Nelson makes free throw 1 of 2
[6:26] Nelson makes free throw 2 of 2
[5:52] Nelson makes layup
[5:24] Nelson makes 15-foot jumpshot
[5:00] Nelson makes 25-foot three-point jumpshot
[4:35] Nelson makes layup
[2:26] Nelson makes 21-foot jumpshot
[0:39] Nelson makes free throw 1 of 2
That's 2009 Nelson.
Part of Nelson's onslaught was aided by Turkoglu's ejection and Arenas' absence, which forced him to take on more ball-handling responsibilities.
But this is the type of production that the Magic could really use from Nelson. At this point, Howard can be counted on every night to put up big numbers. Unfortunately for Orlando, no one else on the roster has shown the capability that they can be consistent like Howard. If any player defines the Magic's ability to master the art of being inconsistent, it's Nelson. It'd be nice if Nelson could channel this type of performance with the snap of the finger but the reality is that he can't.
Nevertheless, Nelson has it in him to play like an All-Star point guard.

I wanted to comment on a few things during the next gen talk.
Thr argument that developers arent using the full potential of blu ray is extremely wrong.
Developers are limited by the cell and RAM in the PS3. Textures are stored on the blu ray, which are accessed by the machine and then stored on the RAM until they are accessed. If the PS3 had more RAM, then developers could make games with greater textures, which would then take up more space.
FOr a good comparison, Max Payne 3 on the PC takes 30 gigs of space due to the high resolution textures, but on consoles takes only around 15 gigs.
We need new consoles for that simple fact alone. Games are maxed out on current generation, and developers are dying because they need new hardware to push their ideas to the max.
Have you seen the videos of Star Wars 1313?? Thats an example of how more power doesnt just mean it looks better visually. More power also means better animation, better lighting, and more options in general for a more life like experience.
Once people see what next gen consoles can do, they will understand that next gen is needed, and we need it soon.
PC gamers have been next gen for awhile, again Max Payne 3 is an example where the PC version just looks so much better than it's console counterpart.
Also take a look at the Watch Dogs videos from E3…that is not possible on current gen.
I'm sorry Cory…just…please stop yelling at me.

I have a pal who admits to being a Millwall fan. We used to go to the Old Den `way back when I worked in London. His take on SM is that he wants to be Top Dog; playing 2nd Fido does not suit him. At the start of last season he was preferred to Holt and did very well. In particular, I remember he bullied Arsenal`s Mertesacker off the ball & scored @ Carra Rud. He paired up well with Holty when we put 4 past the Toon. He got 9 Prem goals; not bad at all. But he does seem to lack ooomph, Va Va Voom or whatever. Perhaps a move would be to his advantage too; he can`t be a bad player or Lambo wouldn`t have brought him in.......

Reviewed by
Unique Cars and Parts
Our Rating:
The first Herald went on sale to the general public in April
as a Coupe - although these have long since become very rare and are most sought after!
The Coupe was never really intended to be a proper 4 seater, the rear seat being available only as an option. But the similarities with other British sports cars was soon evident, such as the four speed gearbox, 948cc engine fitted with twin SU H1 carbys and an output of 42 bhp.
Some features of the new car were considered quite novel at the time, such as independent rear
, an incredibly tight turning circle (25 ft.), a collapsible and adjustable
column, and a greatly reduced maintenance schedule through use of nylon and rubber bushes that virtually eliminated grease fittings on the chassis.
The Coupe was soon joined by a Saloon version, which allowed far more room for a full rear seat. The Saloon was originally powered by a single Solex-carbureted, 38.5 bhp gross/34.5 bhp net version of the same 948cc engine, though later the twin-carb engine would be offered as well.
By March
, these two models were joined by a Convertible, which also offered a top that folded almost completely out of sight, a full (though a bit cramped) rear seat and the twin-carb engine.
also saw the introduction of the Herald S, a stripped-down saloon that never caught on. Bigger news the following year was the introduction of the 1200 series, incorporating the same Coupe, Saloon and Convertible body styles with a larger engine and somewhat more relaxed final drive.
Soon added to the range was an Estate Wagon and the short-lived Courier van, a "commercial" version of the Estate wagon much like the once-common sedan delivery versions of American station wagons.
A further upgrading of the 1147cc engine came with introduction of the 12/50, a 1200 Saloon with 51 hp engine, folding sunroof, different grille (seen later in the U.S. on the Sports 1200) and uprated trim. By the end of
, the Coupe had disappeared, perhaps falling victim to the popularity of the Spitfire!
, facing competition both from other marques and other models in the Triumph range, the Herald received a final, major upgrading. More power came from a single-carb version of the 1296cc Spitfire Mk.3 (and Triumph 1300) engine, and a front-end restyle came from adapting a variation of the Vitesse sheetmetal.
Improvements were made also to the drivetrain and interior - as is evidenced by the image above with the humble Herald now offering the look and feel of more stately up-market British saloons. The Herald was available in Saloon, Convertible and Estate Wagon variants, replacing all previous configurations of Herald (except for the 1200 Saloon, which continued as before).
Sales were however to quickly disappear, and by
we farewelled the robust little Herald. In Australia, the Herald was sold as the AMI 12/50 after being assembled by Australian Motor Industries from parts shipped from Coventry. There were a great many differences from UK spec vehicles, such as the incorporation of a Vitesse bonnet and no sunshine roof.
Production numbers of the Triumph Herald included:
201,142 1200 Saloons (from April 1961-Dec 1970)
5,329 1200 Coupe (fromApril 1961-0ct 1964)
43,295 1200 Convertible (from April 1961-Sept 1967)
53,267 12/50 Saloon (from March 1963-Sept 1967)
40,433 13/60 Saloon (from Oct 1967-Jan 1971)
11,772 13/60 Convertible (from Oct 1967-April 1971)
A further 15,000 13/60s (approx) were exported in knockdown form.

I am currently the new owner of a Red 1964 Triumph Herald Convertible and am embarking on a full restoration. Does anyone know where to source front and rear rubber bumpers? Also I am looking for a complete shop manual. This car has a 1200 Spitfire power train and has twin SU carbs. It is a LH car and is complete. Does anyone know where to get a hood for it in white as well as a carpet and interior kit including door panels. Does anyone have the correct steering wheel for the car or know where to buy one?

I owned 5 T-Heralds in my time. Three 948cc sedans, one 1200 and one 12/50. I absolutely loved these cars - they had character! In truth, they fell apart easily on Australian roads and rattled like no other. All part of the charm. The 12/50 was easly the best (in terms of build quality and performance) but all are remembered with great affection.
Currently planning to import a Vitesse Mk1 2-litre from the UK ... Really can't let these cars go.

My first car was a Herald coupe in 1974 , my sister owned one, and my brother too. Three Herald coupes in one house hold ! They were very cheap then, about 50 dollars each , nobody wanted them . Father worked at AMI and spare parts were no problem... he painted them for us , mine green , the two others red. Mine had a Standard 10 motor in it with the normal cam, it was gutless ..my brother tuned his properly and it got up to 85 mph on the then new Burwood Hwy upgrade, near VFL park. They blew up diffs now and then, but were generally reliable . The motors in them were tired and burnt oil in great copius quatities . The dash panel was a strange sandwich of fibre material and metal . All 3 were retired by 1976 and left to rot , parked together in the back paddock... years of sitting had the floors collapsed from rust ...we sold them to a young fella in the mid 80's .

Hi, it's coupe. I owned one in 1960 and actually got 86 mph out of it (down hill). The partition between the back "seat" and the boot was only cardboard. You could take it out and sleep in the back. It also had a reserve fuel tank with about a gallon if you turned the tap. The tiny SU's were always going out of tune. I got quite good at balancing them.
