"Write a new history of traditions," Farber says. "Don't try to re-create the first marriage. That one didn't work.
"Help them incorporate their old lives while they accept the new life," he continues. "One kid goes to a soccer game, while one kid goes to a piano recital, but we all hike together on Saturdays."
Fresh traditions are imperative, Deal says, to cement the blended family. "Fostering new family rituals is a principle for building a healthy stepfamily. You're building new rituals, which over time helps create a sense of family identity."
Leave plenty of room for emotions — some happy, some not so happy. "All of this has to be tempered by the fact that we're not forcing love and we're not demanding affection," Deal says. "When children feel pressure from a parent figure to love one another and feel affection for one another like biological siblings, it tends to create more resistance.
"You can ask them to go and support their stepbrother at his holiday concert, but do so with the expectation that they might not love being there. And that's OK."
You can do your best to enforce civil behavior, Farber says, but the rest has to come from their hearts.
"Just because the parent decided to marry someone else doesn't mean the children have to be best friends," he says. "They have to be respectful and they have to follow the same rules of the household. But they don't have to be buddies."
Above all, give every member plenty of space to feel whatever it is they're feeling.
"Even if the new marriage is infinitely happier than the last one, the kids have suffered a loss of their first family," Scarf says. "You can't force everyone to have a wonderful time. Be ready for big, loaded, intense feelings and, as the parents, take the attitude of, 'I'm learning about you. Thank you for teaching me.' "
It's critical to present a united front with your new spouse when you approach the children about who's attending what, says family therapist and author Ron Deal, director of familylifeblended.com.
"All of the negotiating starts with the couple, behind closed doors, long before anything is discussed with any children," Deal says. " 'Hey, which of these three things should we all go to?' "
Be honest and clear about your own desires and priorities so you and your spouse have the best chance at staying on the same page.
"Explain your needs: 'My bias would be we all go to my grandfather's birthday party. It's his 90th, and it means a lot to me,' " Deal says. "That helps the spouse see the meaning and the depth and gives them the chance to accommodate that."

NPS releases Final Environmental Impact Statement on ORV plan
By IRENE NOLAN
The National Park Service has released the Final Environmental Impact statement (FEIS) for the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan.
The final plan/EIS evaluates two no-action alternatives and four action alternatives for managing ORV use and identifies their potential environmental consequences.
The Park Service has chosen Alternative F in the FEIS as its preferred alternative.
Alternative F is designed to provide visitors to the seashore with a wide variety of access opportunities for both ORV and pedestrian users, according to an NPS media release.
The FEIS comes 8 months after the Park Service issued a draft version of the plan in March. The public had an opportunity to attend public hearings to give comments or to submit them in writing to the Park Service.
The Park Service says that after the public comments were considered, Alternative F was revised to provide more pedestrian access adjacent to resource closures, where possible, and a more balanced approach to ORV routes and vehicle-free areas than Alternative F provided in the DEIS.
Alternative F in the FEIS designates more miles as ORV routes year-round than the draft version 27.3 miles compared to 16 in the draft. (ORV routes are still subject to closure for resource protection during the pre-nesting and nesting seasons.)
It designates fewer miles 12.7 for seasonal ORV routes than the draft, which proposed 23 miles.
Areas designated as vehicle-free year-round decreased to 26.4 in the FEIS, compared to 29 in the DEIS.
Some major areas closed to ORVs year-round include:
Eight-tenths of a mile at Bodie Island spit
From Ramp 23 south for 1.5 miles
Ramps 27 to Ramp 30
New Ramp 32.5 to Ramp 34
The area from 1.5 miles south of Ramp 38 to four-tenths of a mile north of Ramp 43
From three-tenths of a miles west of Cape Point to 1.7 miles west of Ramp 45
One mile of shoreline at the Hatteras Inlet spit
The North Point of Ocracoke to new Ramp 59.3
New Ramp 63 to one mile northeast of Ramp 67
Ramp 68 to four-tenths of a mile northeast of Ramp 70 (day-use area)
Inlet shoreline along South Point
For a more detailed chart of off-road vehicle routes and areas, click here.
To support access to both vehicle-free areas and designated ORV routes, Alternative F would involve the construction of new parking areas, pedestrian access trails, ORV ramps, and improvements and additions to the interdunal road system.
For a detailed chart of some of the details in Alternative F such as permits, pets, and night driving click here.
A few of the highlights are:
All village beaches will play by the same rules. All village beaches will be open to ORV use from Nov. 1 until March 31. All village beaches will be closed to ORVs from April 1-Oct. 31. Currently Frisco and Hatteras village beaches are closed year-round, and the other village beaches are closed to ORVs for a shorter period -- from May 15 until Sept. 15.
Permits will be required to drive on the beach. Seven-day and annual permits will be available. A short education course will be required. There will be no limit on permits, and permit fee will be based on cost recovery.
Night driving prohibited from 9 p.m. until 7 a.m.
Vehicle carry capacity is established the linear distance of the route divided by 20 feet per vehicle. That about the equivalent of 260 vehicles per mile.
Vehicles can be parked only one deep. Stacking of vehicles in more than one row will be prohibited.
Pet regulations will be similar to what they are now except they will not be allowed in pedestrian access areas seaward of bird pre-nesting areas.
Beach fires will be allowed only in front of the village beaches, Coquina Beach and the Ocracoke Day Use Area. Beach fires will require a non-fee education permit and are prohibited from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m.
The FEIS is another very, very large document. Its in two volumes one about as long as the DEIS, which was 800-plus pages-- and one somewhat shorter than that. Its more than an armful to carry.
The NPS will execute a Record of Decision no sooner than 30 days from the date of publication of the Notice of Availability (NOA) of the FEIS in the Federal Register by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The notice is expected to be published on Friday, Nov. 19.
The release of the final ORV management plan/EIS is an important step toward completion of the required ORV regulation at the seashore, seashore Superintendent Mike Murray said in a media release. We greatly appreciate the level of public interest and participation in the planning process.
Murray said in a meeting with reporters last month that he expected the Record of Decision to be issued on the FEIS by the end of the year.
Shortly after Jan. 1, he said, the Park Service will publish a proposed ORV rule that will spell out the nuts and bolts of off-road vehicle use on the seashore and will begin a 60-day public comment period. After those comments are reviewed, a final regulation will be published, followed by a 30-day waiting period.
According to the terms of a 2008 consent decree, agreed upon by parties to a lawsuit by environmental groups and signed by a federal judge, the Park Service must finish the final special regulation by April 1.
Electronic copies of the document are available for public review online at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/caha.

Hard copies or compact disks (CDs) of the FEIS are being mailed to those who have previously requested them. A limited number of CDs and hard copies of the FEIS are available at the Seashore headquarters, 1401 National Park Drive, Manteo, NC 27954.

On April 15, Microsoft made Office 365 available for purchase for $69.99 per year, or $6.99 per month. The Personal version of Office 365 allows users to install Office apps on one PC or Mac, plus one Windows tablet or iPad. The addition of the iPad is new, and enabled by Microsoft's recent launch of Office for iPad. (Office for iPad is free, but only rudimentary capabilities are available to those who don't subscribe to certain Office 365 plans which include the fully-featured version of the Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps custom-built for iPads.) For users who want/need Office to be installed on more devices, Microsoft is still selling Office 365 Home -- formerly known as Office 365 Home Premium. Read the full story at ZDNet.

Either it's gonna be to eliminate it as soon as possible or it's gonna be to take his lead and follow his instruction. Having 5 females returnee is good but they won't have as much power, unless they have 5 tribes? lol doubtful! 5 returnees seems a lot for a season tho, it's like half of a tribe...Will there be more returnees?
I know who I'll root for after the 1st episode. I knew right away that Kim and Chelsea were the one to watch last season and fell in love wiht them when they were chasing the chicken
Apparently it's five male and five female returnees on one tribe, and ten new players on the other tribe. So like Fans vs. Favorites all over.

"This is something that historically had been determined at the state level and part of my believing ultimately that civil unions weren't sufficient."But pressed further about whether he would fight to repeal DOMA, Obama would only say, "Congress is clearly on notice that I think it's a bad idea."More than 30 states have voted in favor of constitutional amendments that defend the traditional definition of marriage as a heterosexual union.Just WatchedObama: Gay marriage 'should be legal'replayMore Videos ...Obama: Gay marriage 'should be legal' 02:25PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLatinos divided on gay marriage issue replayMore Videos ...Latinos divided on gay marriage issue 02:12PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedBlack pastors speak on same-sex marriage replayMore Videos ...Black pastors speak on same-sex marriage 02:14PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedJane Lynch and same-sex marriagereplayMore Videos ...Jane Lynch and same-sex marriage 01:34PLAY VIDEOThe president does see the issue looming large in the 2012 election."This is going to be a big contrast in the campaign, because you've got Gov. (Mitt) Romney saying we should actually have a constitutional amendment installing the notion that you can't have same-sex marriages," Obama said in the interview, recorded Monday.Last week, Romney reaffirmed his position on gay marriage, saying marriage "should be a relationship between a man and a woman.""Let me make it very clear, that my preference is to have a national standard that defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman," Romney said. "That would then allow states to determine what rights would be provided for people of the same gender that wanted to have a relationship."While the full political implications of the president's same-sex marriage statement remain to be seen, Gallup released a poll Friday showing 51% of Americans approve of Obama's support for allowing gay couples to marry, while 45% disapprove. The survey was conducted entirely after he announced his endorsement in an ABC News interview on Wednesday.And a new Gallup poll out Monday gave further details into American attitudes on the topic. While 50% approve of same-sex marriage, a further breakdown of the numbers shows a significant gender gap: 56% of women say couples of the same gender should be legally allowed to marry, while 42% of men feel the same way.This is Obama's fourth appearance on "The View" and his second since taking up residence in the White House.More from politicsGraham apologizes for Pelosi 'surgeries' commentNetanyahu warns Congress: Deal will lead to Iranian nuclear bombDemocrats upset McConnell wants to fast-track Iran bill Powered by Livefyre

Gordon Ramsay Tried to Smuggle a Bottle of Dom Pérignon into Qatar
Gordon Ramsay owns restaurants in Qatar, so he knows that the state does not allow alcohol of any kind. However, according to Arabian Business, that didn't stop the celeb chef from trying to bring a bottle of Dom with him on a recent trip. "The alarm went off and I got called into a little room. So it's been confiscated the first time I've ever lost a bottle of Dom Pérignon! It was a birthday present from a dear friend," he stated. It looks like Ramsay isn't exempt from the rules not in Qatar, at least!

Thursday, May 17, 2012
It's been over two and a half years since 28-year-old Carla Fuqua vanished from Piedmont, Alabama and the investigation into her disappearance has generated little solid evidence.
Her family is speaking out about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance with the hope that new information may come to light. Her cousin, Michelle Thacker, continues to pass out flyers around Alabama and Georgia even though she feels frustrated by a lack of information.
"We're getting nowhere, it's like we are stuck in 2009," Thacker said. "I mean, you know we just we don't know what to do. We know that we love her and we want her to come home and we know she's very important in our lives and she's missing." Fuqua hasn't been seen since October 29, 2009, but since then there have been over two dozen unconfirmed sightings of her around north central Alabama and Georgia.
Her mother, Darlene Taylor Cook, says Carla's life wasn't easy. She married her high school sweetheart Jerry, but he died some years later in an ATV accident. Her father died the following year and one year to the day of her husband's death. "Carla was devastated," said Darlene. "That changed her life completely." Her family says Carla was hanging out with a bad crowd and her grief drove her to drugs, pills and crystal meth.
"She just wasn't strong enough to stay away from the ones that weren't good for her," Thacker said. "No matter how hard she tried, because she did try. She tried really hard. But those demons they just kept coming back and pulling on her and she wasn't strong enough." Fuqua's trouble with the law began in 2005 when she was arrested and pleaded guilty to illegal drug possession and served two years probation. She was arrested again in 2008 in Cherokee County after a deputy pulled her over with a working meth lab in her vehicle. Again, she pleaded guilty and agreed to go through drug court, but failed to finish her sentence when she vanished.
Her family says she was getting her life together and the timing of her disappearance just doesn't make sense.
"Was she scared, is she running for some reason, or is somebody holding her?" asked Thacker. "We just don't know." Another factor that puzzles her family is Fuqua's 9-year-old son, Justin. Her family says she loved her son and the possibility that she simply ran away just doesn't add up. "You know Justin was her world," said Darlene. "I mean, that's what makes us not understand because it was all about Justin." Sergeant Carolyn Durham with Piedmont Police also knew Fuqua personally and says the length of time she's been missing is concerning. "She usually prioritized motherhood," Sgt. Durham said. "And Justin was usually, you know, she was going to be there for Justin."
Sgt. Durham says their investigation into Fuqua's disappearance is extensive, but at this point they are stuck at a dead end. "I can't find anything that's absolute and haven't in two and a half years," she said. "With some of the people that she was hanging out with, that's been very problematic in the investigation, finding people who have credibility, who you can have some faith in what they say." Piedmont Police have worked with 24 different public safety agencies and have followed up on more than two dozen reported sightings. The most recent was in Rome, Georgia. None of the sightings has been confirmed. Authorities have also conducted 37 searches across three states, but still no sign of Carla Fuqua. "For me to feel like I'm not getting any results and not helping this family in the way I want to help them, is incredibly frustrating," Sgt. Durham said. Here's what we do know: the last time Darlene saw Carla was October 29, 2009 when she left to see a friend named Danielle Phillips. Phillips and another friend of Carla's named Marty Lockridge are the last two people to see Carla alive, according to police.
Their story has always been that on the night of October 29, Lockridge dropped Fuqua off to meet someone at a rock wall located outside Piedmont on Piedmont-Jacksonville Road. She hasn't been heard from since. Police have questioned Phillips and Lockridge and they both underwent polygraph exams. "There were some things that came up in the polygraph that we had to dig a little deeper about," said Sgt. Durham. "To try to find out why somebody might not be telling whole truths or something like that, but nothing came out that led us to believe these people were guilty of anything."
Phillips did admit to using Fuqua's debit card after she went missing. She pleaded guilty to fraudulent use of a credit card and paid a fine. Sgt. Durham says Phillips use of Fuqua's debit card did not track in any direction and did not show evidence of foul play.
The family believes Phillips and Lockridge know more than they're telling. "We know that there's two people that know, and I do believe with everything in me that they know something, they know more than what they're telling," said Thacker. "We just wish they would finally have the heart to tell us." Neither Phillips nor Lockridge responded to FOX6 News' request for an interview. Investigators and Fuqua's family remain hopeful that someone who knows something will come forward.
"We need some kind of closure, good or bad," said Thacker. "How long can we keep going like this? I mean, we're not going to give up, at all, never. I will look for her until I take my last breath." The Piedmont Police Department asks anyone with tips about this case to contact them by calling 256-447-9091 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 | Pictures
Alexander McQueen Spring 2013
Sarah Burton's Spring '13 collection for Alexander McQueen was quite literally buzzing with excitement. With models decked out in elaborate honeycomb beekeeper hats, Burton created a truly masterful collection, inspired by Alberto Vargas's pinup images, filled with dramatic hoopskirts, ornate detailing, and some of the most inventive looks we've seen yet. It was a dramatic entrance as the show opened up with cropped honeycomb trousers paired with a gold peplum jacquard blazer — accessorized with gorgeous amber-hued jewelry reminiscent of bee nectar. More sweetness followed suit highlighting fit-and-flare skirts, resin bustiers, structured mesh tops, and hot shorts all featuring Burton's bee theme. Watching the collection go down the aisle was like studying art, further exemplified by Burton's impressive array of evening wear. Corset minidresses were paired up with netted thigh-high boots, billowy off-shoulder renditions revealed a honeycomb bodice underneath, and the grand finale, a showstopping array of red, yellow, and black crinoline gowns, simply took our breath away. Indeed, there's no question that Paris saved the best for last.
- Trends: Jacquard, statement prints, shine, full skirts, structured silhouettes.
- Colors: Gold, black, yellow, red, cream, dark green, amber.
- Key Piece: If we had to choose, we'd go with the most wearable look; the honeycomb pants and gold peplum jacquard blazer combo was amazing.
- Accessories: Modern honeycomb hats, bee-embellished cuffs, necklaces, and belts, shimmery ankle-wrap strapped shoes with honeycomb mesh detailing, patent honeycomb satchels, thigh-high honeycomb mesh boots, corset belts.
- Who Should Wear It: Ladies looking to add a lot of drama on the red carpet like Lady Gaga and Elizabeth Banks.

LOS ANGELES — U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted some interesting cargo at LAX–67 live snails!
The snails arrived from Nigeria, bound for San Dimas, California.
Accompanying paperwork indicated they were for human consumption.
However, a team of entomologists identified them as Giant African Snails, an extremely invasive species.
They're one of the world's largest land snails, and they'll eat anything from fruits and vegetables, to paint and stucco off houses.
They've also been known to carry parasites harmful to people.
The snails have been transferred to a USDA station for processing.

Latest Cougar bore tests show no problem
PUBLISHED: 19 Jul 2010 08:36:00 | UPDATED: 19 Jul 2010 08:39:21PRINT EDITION: 19 Jul 2010
New tests have found no evidence of carcinogenic chemicals in bores near a Queensland underground gas project.
But the Department of Environment and Resource Management says more tests are needed and affected residents are still being told not to drink the water.
In the meantime, Cougar Energy has been ordered to stop its underground coal gasification (UCG) trial near Kingaroy.
The halt was ordered last week after carcinogenic chemicals were found in water from nearby bores.
The department's director general John Bradley says test results received on Sunday afternoon are still being reviewed but did not identify unsafe levels of any chemicals.
"Neither Benzene or Toluene has been detected in the latest three testing results and no results were recorded at unsafe levels," he said in a statement.
Trace levels of hydrocarbons had been detected, but they were at levels 95 per cent lower than Australian drinking water guidelines and did not pose a risk to human health.
He noted that hydrocarbons can result from naturally occurring or other sources.
"While these results are encouraging, DERM and Queensland Health will review further sampling and analysis prior to altering the current advice to neighbouring landholders," Mr Bradley said.
He said Cougar Energy had been ordered to source alternative water supplies for landholders who require it for themselves and their stock.
Eight bore sites have now been tested, including the three latest ones that showed no problem.
The other five sites included two company monitoring bores adjacent to the plant, which showed the presence of toluene and benzene but at levels below Australian drinking water guidelines.
Three neighbouring bores within about one kilometre of the plant returned results at or below the limit of detection, the department said.
Mr Bradley said further testing of bores in the area would continue as a precautionary measure.
"These 8 locations are not the limit of the testing which will be done in this area. They will be sampled with additional frequency and a wider selection of bores will also be sampled this week as a precautionary measure," he said.

LOS ANGELES – Severe weather in February is being blamed for higher-than-expected labor costs, and as a result California Pizza Kitchens (CPKI) is lowering its first quarter earnings estimates, according to a company news release."urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The casual dining chain said staffing its restaurants was difficult during severe weather in February, and the cost of labor as a percentage of sales increased dramatically.
California Pizza Kitchens operates 130 restaurants in 25 states and four foreign countries.
The chain's earning expectations were lowered to 20 cents to 22 cents a share, down two cents from the company's earlier estimate.
A current Thomson First Call estimate puts California Pizza's first-quarter earnings at 23 cents a share, compared with year-ago earnings of 29 cents.
Revenue now is expected to grow 17 percent to 18 percent for the quarter, putting first-quarter revenue at $82.1 million to $82.8 million, below Wall Street's $84.6 million estimate.

Barca out of title running
27 Apr 2008 - 12:25:02
Barcelona's faint title hopes were finally ended on Saturday evening when they crashed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Deportivo La Coruna.
Bitter rivals Real Madrid can now win the league title should they win and second-placed Villarreal slip up on Sunday.
A poor Barcelona performance at the Municipal de Riazor led to a fifth away defeat of the season for Frank Rijkaard's inconsistent side, who now face a fight to finish second in La Liga.
Second-half goals from Juan Rodriguez and Pablo Amo secured the points for an improving Depor outfit.
In Saturday's only other action, Real Murcia and Sevilla played out a dour goalless draw.
The solitary point apiece dented Sevilla's Champions League qualification hopes and left 19th placed Murcia still deep in relegation danger.

Dollar General Corporation Reports Record Third Quarter 2012 Sales And Earnings
Interest expense was $100 million in the 2012 39-week period, a decrease of $64 million from the 2011 period. This decrease was due to lower average outstanding long-term obligations, resulting from repurchases of debt in 2012 and 2011 and lower all-in interest rates.
Other (income) expense in the 2012 period included pretax losses totaling $29.0 million resulting from the repurchase of the Company's 11.875%/12.125% senior subordinated notes, a $2.5 million pretax gain resulting from the settlement of interest rate swaps, the $1.7 million debt amendment fees which were reimbursed by Buck Holdings, L.P. and a pretax loss of $1.6 million resulting from the amendment of the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility. Other (income) expense in the 2011 period includes pretax losses totaling $60.3 million resulting from the repurchase of the Company's 10.625% senior notes.
The effective income tax rate for the 2012 period was 36.6 percent compared to a rate of 37.4 percent for the 2011 period. Increases in the effective tax rate associated with the expiration of various federal jobs credits for workers hired after December 31, 2011 (primarily the Work Opportunity Tax Credit), the expiration of the Hire Act's Retention Credit and an increase in the state income tax rate (the 2011 period benefited from decreases in state income tax reserves while the 2012 period included expense associated with an increase in reserves) were more than offset by decreases associated with the adjustment of accruals due to the favorable resolution of income tax examinations.
The Company reported net income of $635 million, or diluted EPS of $1.89, for the 2012 39-week period, compared to net income of $474 million, or diluted EPS of $1.37 for the 2011 period. Adjusted net income, as defined in the accompanying table, for the 2012 39-week period increased by 26 percent to $656 million compared to adjusted net income of $520 million in the 2011 39-week period. Adjusted EPS increased by 30 percent to $1.95 per diluted share in the 2012 39-week period compared to adjusted EPS of $1.50 in the 2011 39-week period.

So Markham French, executive director of the Plymouth Community Renewal Center, was stunned when he received a call last year from Sen. Rand Paul's office asking if the lawmaker could stop by the West Louisville, Kentucky, facility to speak with patrons. French thought hard about what such a visit would mean for his impoverished community, a place with high unemployment and which, a few years ago, was ranked one of the nation's most dangerous neighborhoods because of its high crime and murder rates. "I initially was surprised," French said. But "I came to understand that he didn't want to assume what was affecting the African-American community. He wanted to hear from the African-American community what was affecting them."Paul got an earful.So he listened.And he thought."I didn't realize how hard it was to pay back child support when you've been in prison," Paul told CNN.Rand Paul fights for felon voting rightsPaul, a tea party favorite, has been listening a lot these days to voices that have long felt unheard by the Republican Party: African-Americans, Hispanics and young voters. And he has given quite a lot of thought about how to connect his conservative stances on protecting personal liberties to those disparate groups' concerns about big government overreach.Just WatchedRand Paul: We must watch the watchersreplayMore Videos ...Rand Paul: We must watch the watchers 03:28PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedInside Politics: Rand RisingreplayMore Videos ...Inside Politics: Rand Rising 00:34PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedCPAC winners and losersreplayMore Videos ...CPAC winners and losers 04:01PLAY VIDEOHe spoke Wednesday, touching on typically libertarian issues, at the University of California at Berkeley, a campus with a famously progressive culture. "I find it ironic that the first African-American president has, without compunction, allowed this vast exercise of raw power by the NSA," Paul told the crowd of the intelligence community's domestic spying practices. "Certainly J. Edgar Hoover's illegal spying on Martin Luther King and others in the civil rights movement should give us all pause. Now if President Obama were here, he would say he's not J. Edgar Hoover, which is certainly true. But power must be restrained because no one knows who will next hold that power."Paul told CNN after his speech that his Berkeley address and speeches across the country to young voters and minorities reflect "issues I believe passionately about that haven't been discussed a lot in the Republican Party." Paul's visit to Berkeley, much like his visits to historically black colleges Howard University in Washington and Simmons College in Louisville and his push for so-called "economic freedom zones" -- areas of high unemployment in places like Louisville and Detroit that would reduce federal regulation and taxes to help boost economic growth -- are the actions of a shrewd and ambitious politician.They are the actions of a lawmaker who is keenly aware of the nation's shifting demographic, his party's self-professed struggles to attract minority and young voters and his own desire to see his policy proposals take hold. And while he hasn't said he's running to be his party's 2016 presidential nominee, he's doing all the things that someone who's running for president would do. "It's pretty clear that Rand correctly assesses the changing demographics of our country and the need to broaden our appeal if we're going to compete in presidential elections and make it clear we want to be a large and inclusive party that includes all sorts of voters," Kentucky's senior senator, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, told CNN.McConnell, a veteran lawmaker who early on helped tutor Paul in the congressional art of tactical strategy has watched with interest the junior senator's rise to the national stage. The potential 2016 GOP presidential hopeful has carefully navigated his path and managed to benefit from an almost prescient sense of timing, close friends and political operatives say. "He's a very smart guy with extraordinary political instincts and I think that's the reason for his rise to political prominence," McConnell said. "People tend to focus on his (filibuster) in the Senate ... but his outreach to groups we haven't done well with in national elections strikes me as different from what other aspirants are doing."The son also risesJust WatchedInside Politics: "Thin Crust GOP"replayMore Videos ...Inside Politics: "Thin Crust GOP" 02:48PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedSen.

And like Ron Paul, the former Texas congressman known for his devout libertarian following, the younger Paul prides himself on doing things differently. His 2010 campaign for the Senate seat left open by retiring Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning was a long shot. He was a political rookie and certainly was not the party establishment -- including McConnell's -- choice.He also had a few early stumbles including a near campaign-ending misstep when, during an interview, he told MSNBC host Rachel Maddow that private businesses shouldn't have to adhere to the civil rights laws. He beat a hasty retreat from that comment and issued a statement saying he supports to 1964 Civil Rights Act.It was also the year of the tea party uprising and, with the help of a fed-up conservative electorate, his father's vast donor list and his own edgy brand of pragmatic libertarianism, the younger Paul defeated secretary of state Trey Grayson, who was groomed by the establishment for the race. Once in the Senate, Paul quickly distinguished himself as unwilling to take the traditional freshman role of keeping quiet.Weeks into his first term he unveiled a plan he argued would trim $500 billion from the federal budget -- a plan that, while it garnered little backing on either side of the aisle and ultimately failed, did receive support from McConnell. That May, Paul led a one-man showdown over extending the Patriot Act which included strident criticism of both Democratic and Republican leadership. The ensuing legislative delay in passage meant President Barack Obama was forced to "autopen" sign the law's extension while he was in France for the G8 summit just before it expired at midnight. That July he blocked extending FBI Director Robert Mueller's term by two years until the agency head gave more details about how two Iraqi nationals were able to live undetected in Paul's hometown of Bowling Green, Kentucky, for several years. In October, another block -- this time millions in benefits for disabled and elderly refugees -- based on concerns that the money could benefit terrorists. That year at the Conservative Political Action Conference McConnell dubbed Paul "one of the great freshman conservatives."And that was just year one. Now just over halfway through his first term, Paul has earned praise for his well-timed push against the intelligence community's domestic spying practices, for his criticism of the handling of the nation's mushrooming debt and for his outreach to minority and young voters. He is poised to stand as one of the frontrunners in the potentially crowded field of 2016 presidential hopefuls according to a new CNN/ORC International survey, which found 16% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents might support his bid. His partnership with McConnell on such issues as pushing back against Obama administration-backed regulations on the coal industry and getting funding for industrial hemp research in the farm bill, illustrates "what happens when the tea party guys and the guys who have been around get together and fight together," said Scott Jennings, a former McConnell aide and senior adviser to Super PAC Kentuckians for Strong Leadership. "As I watch him move around the country, he's incredibly well received," said Ron Kaufman, a veteran Washington lobbyist and former adviser to GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President George H.W. Bush. "He's been incredibly skillful." Then, last year came what, in hindsight, now seems Paul's timely 13-hour filibuster on the perilous possibilities of drone strikes on Americans in their own country. The talk-a-thon delayed the confirmation of John Brennan as CIA head and inspired other Republicans, including McConnell, to return to the Senate and rally to his aid."I remember calling my boss Rep. (Paul) Gosar to ask if he had seen what was taking place and he told me he was headed to join Rand," said Orlando Watson, a former Paul staffer who now is the communications director for black media for the Republican National Committee.Friend and longtime Paul adviser Trygve Olson put it this way: "People hadn't thought about drones and suddenly a guy doing a 'Mr. Smith' filibuster on this captivated people."Paul's possible pitfallsJust WatchedSen.

Winning them over for the long term is another matter, said Alice Stewart, a Republican strategist and radio host."Any of these people -- whether it's Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, or Rand Paul, they are doing well in the polls right now, but it's the shiny penny effect," Stewart said. "It's being strong when we get to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina that counts."If he makes a run at the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2016, Paul's ability to knit together a coalition of diverse views will really be put to the test. In the primaries he'll face tough questions from conservatives on his non-interventionist foreign policy views.Should he make it to the general election, he'll likely be grilled about how his opposition to abortion -- though he has said he could see "thousands of exceptions" -- reconciles with his staunch defense of personal liberty."If another Republican started making those links in a negative way then it could be a problem," said Jennifer Duffy, a senior editor with the Cook Political Report. He'll also have to convince big-dollar donors that he's more than just a momentary cause célèbre.He's attempted to address that last issue by such trips as his whirlwind Silicon Valley tour last summer meeting with technology industry heads and an address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library."We did a trip to Silicon Valley ... with some Romney donor-type people. We did a meeting at Facebook and it was unclear whether we'd meet with (Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg)," said Olson, a longtime friend who now works with the American Crossroads Super PAC. Zuckerberg "showed up and said 'I got in late last night from Europe but I wanted to come here and meet you.' " Paul and the social media guru hit it off."It was clear the two smartest guys in the room were having a conversation and the rest of us were just there," Olson said. "They would have gone on for quite a while longer and I was the one who finally ended up saying we need to get over to (the venue) or you're going to miss your speech."As for his ability to navigate the rarefied air of high powered politics and mingle with ex-cons in Louisville, Paul said, "I've learned a lot by just showing up."Reaching outDuring that June visit to West Louisville, Paul heard from frustrated black men who are banned from volunteering at their children's schools because of their criminal backgrounds and from voting after completing their prison terms for nonviolent crimes. That visit would later help inform his push to restore felon voting rights and further his views on changing mandatory minimum sentences for some crimes such as marijuana possession -- issues that disproportionately impact blacks and Hispanics. "I think it opens doors to people who haven't listened to Republicans," Paul said of his outreach.He has since had regular conversations with the president of a local historically black college and heads of charter schools in African-American neighborhoods.Since he left the community center, Paul has dispatched a staffer who set up a mobile office with hours that coincide with when the food pantry opens."No one has been here. No one else has reached out," French said. "People aren't knocking down our door to ask us how they can help."French was so impressed with Paul that, when he heard the senator was in Shelbyville, Kentucky, he piled into his car and drove 30 miles just to see the lawmaker."One of the things I was impressed about is in the short run there isn't going to be a lot of support from the African-American people for Rand Paul, so I give him a lot of respect for doing this knowing there's not going to be a rush to the polls for him," French said.But that type of outreach just might pay off in the long run, Paul said.All it takes is "time and sincerity," he said. "People know when you're genuine as opposed to showing up during the last six weeks to try and get votes."More from politicsBen Carson: Prison proves being gay is a choiceIs U.S. Air Force superiority under threat?Hillary Clinton asks State to release emails: What you need to knowPowered by Livefyre

RR: Well we lost, so that was disappointing, without saying – without question. How much we learned, I don't know about that. Obviously it wasn't good enough, so that's what we know.
Q: Why are you guys doing so much better against the run through the first six games of this year as opposed to what you were able to do last year? RR I think we've got an outstanding group in the front seven. They're young, and they're kind of maturing together. It starts with Muhammad Wilkerson and then the nose tackles, obviously 'Snacks' – Damon Harrison – and Kenrick Ellis have done a good job for us, and Sheldon Richardson, so all the big guys up front have done a decent job in the run, and then I think we've got as good a middle linebacker as there is in the league in David Harris. I think he's done an outstanding job for us.
Q: With
RR: You've got a big problem out of the way, that's for sure, with big Vince [Wilfork]. He's an outstanding player. That's kind of where our nose tackle is, you know, when you look at Snacks [Damon Harrison] and Kenrick Ellis, they're both big giant guys, they're playing extremely well. Kind of a like a young Wilfork-type, not quite as big or beefy or have the notoriety, certainly, but they're playing well. But having him out of there clearly is – he's really one of the blue-chip guys as a nose tackle.
Q: What about Mayo's absence?
RR: Yup, he's a good player. Good player, and I understand he's lost for the season.
Q: Your team has committed a really high number of penalties so far this year. Are you concerned that that's more of a discipline problem among the players, or a coaching issue?
RR: Jeez, you talk about blunt force trauma… I certainly don't see it as a coaching problem or discipline on our players. Obviously we got – at the end of the game against New England, we did have an unbelievable amount of penalties in a couple of games this year. But again, I think that's more of an aberration. I think when you look over the stretch since I've been here, we've probably been at the lower end of the penalty scale than the upper end.
Q: Have you consulted your brother [New Orleans Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan] at all, or will you consult him at all, given the fact that he played against the Patriots just three days ago?
Q: Tom Brady's teammates have talked about how they draw strength from how calm he is at the end of the game. How does that affect a defense when they see a guy like Brady come in, knowing how calm he'll be driving a team downfield when they need it?
RR: I don't know, we'll see. I think we'll be calm as well, so it'll be an interesting matchup if that indeed is the case where it comes down to that. I think both – I know Brady is extremely confident, and I know we're extremely confident about putting our defense out there in crunch time. In Atlanta, they had a holding call against us or we're off the field there, which is kind of unusual, I keep watching, I haven't seen it yet, but we're off in a crunch time there I think, so we're confident as well. Obviously we expect [Brady] to be confident, he's won a ton of games and things, but each game is different.
Q: Having lost five straight games to the Patriots, do you feel like you've been kissing Bill Belichick's rings a little lately?
RR: No, I haven't. Maybe you have, but I haven't, and I never will. I came here to beat him and to win, and to win our own championship rings and all that type of stuff. Again, hey, the facts are we've lost five in a row to them and things like that. We'll see if it's six in a row.
Q: You didn't have Jeremy Kerley the first time you played the Patriots. What impact do you expect him to have in this game, and with the signing of Joshua Cribbs what do you expect out of him? RR I'm certainly not going to say one way or the other on Kerley. He's a good player for us so we'll see what he does, and as far as getting Josh Cribbs, first off we've got to see where he's at conditioning-wise and everything else. But I'm sure he'll have some role for us.
Q: How has your approach towards Tom Brady evolved over the years? Has your thinking changed in terms of the best way to get to Brady?
RR: Well apparently I do a terrible job of it because we've lost five in a row, so I don't know. Maybe we'll just have somebody else look at it.
Q: You've seen many different ways to get to Brady over the years.
RR: Hey, I don't know. The guy was – him and Peyton Manning, I've said it before from day one, are the best two I've ever gone against. They were when I came in the league many years ago as a defensive coordinator, and they've remained that way. Certainly we throw everything at them and see what happens, but we're not just going to stand and play one or two coverages and let them pick us apart like he does a lot of people.
Q: Is that the key, that you constantly change the looks that you're giving him and the pre-read snaps right up until the snap is taken?
RR: You can't just sit back and take it from him, that's for sure.
Q: Do you feel like you have an opportunity to do more in your game planning when you have a full week to prepare for the Patriots, as opposed to that first meeting this year with only a couple of days to prepare playing on a Thursday?
RR: I think you're prepared anyway going into it, because of the fact – I mean, it wasn't like the schedule jumped up on somebody and they called you Sunday night. So we're preparing for them even through training camp and things like that. But yeah, getting them on a normal week certainly is easier than on a short week.

Información de la droga para Aviane - 28 DAY (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets, USP) (Barr Laboratories Inc.): INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Aviane is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use oral contraceptives as a method of contraception.
Oral contraceptives are highly effective. Table II lists the typical accidental pregnancy rates for users of combination oral contraceptives and other methods of contraception. The efficacy of these contraceptive methods, except sterilization, the IUD, and Norplant® System, depends upon the reliability with which they are used. Correct and consistent use of methods can result in lower failure rates.
Table II: Percentage of Women Experiencing an Unintended Pregnancy During the First Year of Typical Use and the First Year of Perfect Use of Contraception and the Percentage Continuing Use at the End of the First Year. United States. Source: Trussell J. Contraceptive efficacy. In: Hatcher RA, Trussell J, Stewart F, Cates W, Stewart GK, Kowel D, Guest F. Contraceptive Technology: Seventeenth Revised Edition. New York NY: Irvington Publishers; 1998. % of Women Experiencing an
Unintended Pregnancy within the
First Year of Use% of Women Continuing
Use at One Year Among couples attempting to avoid pregnancy, the percentage who continue to use a method for one year.Method
(1)Typical Use Among typical couples who initiate use of a method (not necessarily for the first time), the percentage who experience an accidental pregnancy during the first year if they do not stop use for any other reason.
(2)Perfect Use Among couples who initiate use of a method (not necessarily for the first time) and who use it perfectly (both consistently and correctly), the percentage who experience an accidental pregnancy during the first year if they do not stop use for any other reason.
(3)(4) Chance The percents becoming pregnant in columns (2) and (3) are based on data from populations where contraception is not used and from women who cease using contraception in order to become pregnant. Among such populations, about 89% become pregnant within one year. This estimate was lowered slightly (to 85%) to represent the percent who would become pregnant within one year among women now relying on reversible methods of contraception if they abandoned contraception altogether. 85 85 Spermicides Foams, creams, gels, vaginal suppositories, and vaginal film. 26 6 40 Periodic abstinence 25 63 Calendar 9 Ovulation Method 3 Sympto-Thermal Cervical mucus (ovulation) method supplemented by calendar in the pre-ovulatory and basal body temperature in the post-ovulatory phases. 2 Post-Ovulation 1 Cap With spermicidal cream or jelly.

Treatment initiated within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse reduces the risk of pregnancy by at least 75%.The treatment schedule is one dose within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse, and a second dose 12 hours after the first dose. The FDA has declared the following dosage regimens of oral contraceptives to be safe and effective for emergency contraception: for tablets containing 50 mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 500 mcg of norgestrel 1 dose is 2 tablets; for tablets containing 20 mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 100 mcg of levonorgestrel 1 dose is 5 tablets; for tablets containing 30 mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 150 mcg of levonorgestrel 1 dose is 4 tablets. Lactation Amenorrhea Method: LAM is a highly effective, temporary method of contraception.However, to maintain effective protection against pregnancy, another method of contraception must be used as soon as menstruation resumes, the frequency or duration of breast-feeds is reduced, bottle feeds are introduced, or the baby reaches 6 months of age. In a clinical trial with levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol 0.10 mg/0.02 mg tablets, 1,477 subjects had 7,720 cycles of use and a total of 5 pregnancies were reported. This represents an overall pregnancy rate of 0.84 per 100 woman-years. This rate includes patients who did not take the drug correctly. One or more pills were missed during 1,479 (18.8%) of the 7,870 cycles; thus all tablets were taken during 6,391 (81.2%) of the 7,870 cycles. Of the total 7,870 cycles, a total of 150 cycles were excluded from the calculation of the Pearl index due to the use of back-up contraception and/or missing 3 or more consecutive pills.
