ABC News' Ariane de Vogue reports:
Lawyers for the sponsors of Proposition 8 — California's ban on same sex marriage — filed a motion last night to have Judge Stephen R. Reinhardt, one of the three 9th Circuit judges set to hear an appeal of the case, disqualified because Reinhardt's wife, Ramona Ripston, serves as the executive director of the ACLU in Southern California.
On Monday the appeals court is set to hear a constitutional challenge to the controversial ballot measure. Last summer a district court judge struck it down.
In a motion for disqualification the lawyers point out that Ripston not only served for the ACLU which filed an amicus brief in the case, but she also met with plaintiff's lawyers.
According to the brief: "The facts of this case would plainly lead a reasonable person to conclude that Judge Reinhardt's impartiality might reasonably be questioned. His wife and the organization she leads have not only been active in seeking to redefine marriage in California and active in opposition to Proposition 8, but they have been active participants in this very lawsuit: Plaintiffs' attorneys consulted with Ms. Ripston before filing suit".
Last February the ACLU announced that Ms. Ripston was retiring effective February 2011.
Reinhardt, who was nominated to the bench by President Jimmy Carter, is set to hear the case with two other judges, N. Randy Smith, a George W. Bush nominee and Michael Daly Hawkins, a Clinton nominee.
The filing comes after conservatives have questioned Reinhardt's ability to remain objective in the case. Ed Whelan of the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center has written, "How is it possible that Reinhardt's impartiality in this case couldn't reasonably be questioned when his wife took part in confidential discussions with plaintiffs' lawyers over whether they should pursue the case?"
But Orrin Kerr, a professor of law at George Washington University, who calls Reinhart "the most-reversed Court of Appeals judge in the land" says that Reinhart's participation might be good for opponents of Prop 8 in the short term, but bad for them in the long term:
"The Supreme Court loves to reverse Reinhardt. They love to reverse opinions he signs, and they love to reverse opinions he participates in. So the fact that he'll likely be involved in the panel decision probably hurts opponents of Prop 8 in the long run."
UPDATE: Judge Reinhardt has denied the motion to disqualify him from Monday's prop 8 trial writing: "for reasons that I shall provide in a memorandum to be filed in due course, I am certain that "a reasonable person with knowledge of all the factswould [not] conclude that [my] impartiality might reasonably be questioned.""

Fixed.Nanjirou was messing with him for his entire life.
Nanjiroh spent 13-15 years of intensive playing around with and angering his son to teach his son to 'love tennis'?
Seriously, Kachirou's dad could have done better on that front.

going back to what i said before on PoP and loving tennis, i thought it's established that no one loves tennis as much as yamato ex-buchou (the guy with circular glasses)
^But he's not blessed by the blood of Nanjiroh, or given a throne to bloom into.
Stolen Sig Count: 26
anyone who's been following POT already knows this: samurai nanjiro has always played aound with everyone. and that includes his son. it had also already, been posted right here in this very thread.
anyway, all nanjiro wants to say an teach, for that matter is that TENNIS is FUN. period.
chapter 378 explains this btw...
^Who are you telling? We all comprehend that.
And Whua and I scoff at it.
Stolen Sig Count: 26
^(my response):
nanjiroh: "you all have PoP!! now enjoy tennis!!"
momo and others: "yay!! we love tennis!! XD"
Nanjiroh: "As long as you enjoy it under me". *he smiles sinisterly before hitting a 900km/hr twist serve near them*

mmm i expected better, maybe not
last (as in the final) chapter is out and let's just say sakuno doesn't look as atrocious as she did in the recent appearances

Alben Star came from the clouds to land the bookmakers.co.uk All-Weather Sprint Championships Conditions Stakes.
As is his wont, Trinityelitedotcom broke fast from the stalls and had them all in trouble turning into the straight.
He appeared to have everything cooked with just 100 yards to run, but Paul Hanagan was flying down the outside on the six-year-old for his old boss Richard Fahey and won by a head.
Hanagan, already a winner on the £1million card with Ertijaal, said: "It means a lot to win a race like this for Richard, he always looks after me.
"He's done it well in the end, a bit cosy. It suited him as they went very quick. I'm delighted for Richard and the owners.
"I just had to sit and suffer as we were going as quick as we could."
Fahey said: "It's the first time I've been here in a while, the last time I was here I rode in a three-mile chase!
"The horse was in great order and it's great to win on a day like today, I nearly missed the first it was that busy.
"It sounds silly but we needed one to come out to even get in.
"We have a new vet in the yard who has done a few things with him and he worked brilliant last week.
"I told Paul he had a chance, the owner took 20s and he's returned 25s, he had a bit on each-way.
"Me and Paul have been together 17 years and I stay at his digs when I'm down in Newmarket, he's gone on to better things.
"That's a huge day for the horse, the handicapper might kill him and he'll struggle in the big handicaps but he's probably not a Group horse.
"I was going to go home straight after the race but I might have a drink now."

My Husband and I have been Trying to Conceive for EIGHT Years ONE month now
I knew I had female problems.....a lack of a period for one....since going off the pill at age 18. But still I never thought I would have trouble getting pregnant. I was so naieve and had no idea about anything
For the first 3 or so years I was like okay it will happen when it happens. not that we were really Trying but we weren't preventing either
By year 4 I was like okay there is definatley something wrong and went and saw my first doctor who promptly told me that I was(at 95kgs) "too fat to get pregnant and to go away and lose some weight"
After that visit I did not go see another doctor for a year.
By year 5 I was desperate so I made an appt with a womens clinic and after waiting 4 months to get in I finally saw a GP who listened to me and was very shocked by the way I had been treated...at this point I had not had a period for 7 years...As it turned out there was also a fertilty expert working at the clinic on that morning and she went and consulted with him and he was appauled at the way I had been treated as well and took me on strait away.
That being said I have been with him now for 2.5 years
I didn't ovulate on my own so therefore couldn't get pregnant
The first thing he did was blood tests....with one blood test he worked out my first problem, a high prolactin level, and put me on medication for it ......But although it fixed the problem it still did not make me ovulate.
So after several months I was given more tests. they found nothing else really other than I didnt ovulate.
I joined the TTC7+ board which was amazing.
I found out that I was not alone and I learn so much about conception and the factors needed to conceive. I had been so naieve about my own body that I felt so stupid for just thinking that when I wanted to get pregnant I would.
I was, in April 2003, put on a medication called Metformin. And after 18 days I ovulated on my own for the first time since I went on the pill at 14(which was for pain resons not contraception)
It did not result in a pregnancy but it did give me some hope that It might happen one day.
By this time I had been charting my Basel Body Temperature for several months so I was now able to follow my cycles as real cycles, I could see when I ovulated and was able to learn so much about my own body.
I also suspected that I had a Luteal Phase Defect(LPD) but could not convince my doctor as I had only had two cycles when I saw him next after starting the metformin. My luteal Phase(LP) was only 9 days
I was then placed on gonadotrophin injections...or ovulation induction.
For me the first two cycles on the injections did not go too well. I ovulated but my progesterone was really low(19 and 12) which meant I did not ovulate too well.
My third cycle on the injections went really incredibly well. From about 6 Days Past Ovulation(DPO) I KNEW I was pregnant. My progesterone was 32. I had the booster and it went up in four days to 72. so I did not get another booster.
I felt different, I had symptoms and at 10 DPO I did a home pregnancy test and it was posative. I did another at 11DPO and again at 12 and 13DPO and they were all posative. The afternoon of 13DPO I had an early miscarriage. I was devastated. In the end I think it was the fact I did not get that second booster shot and the LP problem
I went strait into another cycle and had an even better progesterone result of 66. I had started to feel the same things I had felt the previous cycle but because I had no booster shots at all, my period came at 10DPO. Which again gave me a LP of 9 days...that made my suspicion greater but still my doctor did not listen but my ovulation induction nurse kind of did and conceded to let me have both boosters even if my progesterone was quite high.
The last cycle on the injections I had a first progesterone of 33 and then 3 days later it was up to 58 but I just did not feel pregnant. so I was expecting my period and it came right on schedule.
I had to take a break from the injections because as much as they take out of you physically and emotionally they are also expensive at about $600 a cycle including all the medications you have to buy. Plus I was still on the metformin and the medication for my prolactin as well as prenatal vitamins. I rattled and sloshed for a long time.
I went to see a naturopath and in one cycle she lengthened my LP from 9 day to 14, my second cycle with her my LP was 17 days and my third cycle with her was so good I went back on the injections this time with IUI.
I managed to get pregnant but sadly miscarried at 5 weeks. I was not pregnant for very long but I loved that baby so feircely and it absolutely devastated me to not be pregnant any more. I sunk into a nightmarish fit of depression and not even coming to these baords couild help.
I stupidly went strait into another injections/ IUI cycle and when that failed went again into a third again without success.
Financial, mental and physical reasons meant we had to stop the treatments again and we dont know if we will ever be going back to them or even on to IVF as we are so financially drained and IVF as everyone knows is very expensive. I just need to win the lotto I think.
I want a baby so badly and I have been actively trying for over eight years. every time I see a new baby or a pregnant woman, or another BFP that is not mine I feel a little twinge. I am not the type of person who thinks that because I havent gotten pregnant that no one else should......... but I do have myself a pity party occasionally
I often wonder why me? I don't drink, dont smoke, eat a healthy diet, I dont drink anything with caffieine etc so why is it hard for me when I am doing everything right?
This whole process has been really difficult for my husband and I emotionally and physically, monetarily and even in the bedroom department. But we are still together and I am hoping that one day we will finally experience the joys of a pregnancy and parenthood
I would adopt in an instant but there are no babies here in Australia and not too many older children either.
i would adopt internationally too but it is so darn expensive we cant afford it.
Sometimes I find myself daydreaming that somone I know knows someone who is pregnant but cant keep the baby and we arrange a privat adoption.............far fetched I know but i just wnat a baby so darn badly I would do almost anything to have one.
i would love to go see my naturopath again I am well overdue for another appt but as money is so tight it could be a long while before that happens.
So much has happened with us this year................and I know that I am not the only one in the world going through stuff. But we really would just love for this year to be over so we can start fresh
As for my cyles.
Well since the injections finished I have gotten AF quite regularly very regularly in fact considering how they were before treatments.
unfortunately I dont know when I O
I have not been chartin very much and am trying to get back into it. I must try harder. but when I was on the injections I could feel O pains really badly when they were good Ovulations but whenever I have O'd off the injections i have only been able to tell through temping.
i have no idea why this may be and perhaps that is why we cant just get pregnant on our own. perhaps someone out there will have the answer.
thats about it for now
Ugh. saw my stupid doctor yesterday and he basically wants to go back to the start and see if I am really ovulating on my own.
I am going to start charting fully again but I am pretty sure I am ovulating.....maybe not well but I am doing it.
It sucks that he has basically put a stop to anything further......I thought he would bring up IVF but he didnt. not that we could financially do it but I would have like to have heard him say it.
more than likely going ot go back to naturopath and see how much she can do for me now.
CD 2 today. yesterday I thought I was dying. the pains were so darn bad. every period I get seems to get worse and worse ont he pain scale. and lasts for longer and longer.
i tried discussing this with my doctor on tuesday and all he said was
"yeah that can happen"
I really am going to see a new doctor in the new year as I have just about had enough!!!
I have also started charting again. I just hope I can keep it up.
OKay so for the last couple of weeks I have been on this Maca stuff(under observation of my naturopath) and I cant beleive how my AF went. usually I have maybe 1 or 20 days of full bleeding. then 3 - 4 days of spotting which is sometimes broken up with a day of no bleeding or spotting
This time I had that really bad pain on friday followed by the arrival of AF and then FOUR FULL DAYS of bleeding and then 1 day of spotting.
I am hoping that this means that my cycles are going to become a lot more normal and possibly increase my chance of getting pregnant without injections or insemination.
I am having a couple of twinges today on my left side which is usually the side that I ovulate on. perhaps I am going to ovulate early!!
I am going to totally cover my bases this cycle
charting is going well so far and I have not forgotten.
I guess as always this is a wait and see game!!!!
Well its CD13 and last night I suddenly got this bad bad pain on my right side. Its still going now and sometime the pain shoots down my leg. now I dont know if this is O pains or some kind of injury. I keep taking my temp every morning so I guess I will see in the next couple of days if it is!!!!
I am still goin on this maca stuff so if I O like this on the Maca I will definatley keep taking it
Whenever I have ovulated on Injectable meds I always have had ovulation pain. when I ovulate on no meds I get no ovulation pain. still trying to find someone who will explain why to me.
I also got myself a female budda necklace which coincidently I put on yesterday afternoon just before the pain started.
Apparantly she brings general healthy and wellness but also aids in conceiving.
I know someone who has been TTC for 3 years with no luck at all she gets a female budda and within one month is pregnant. she is now 8 weeks.
I am willing to try just about anything
This is just about killing me.
I think I am almost ready to give up TTC altogether.
I cant handle it any more. the stress and dissapointment alone is almost unbearable. I just want one thing in this whole world and its the one thing I will probably never have.
Unfortunatley there wont be anyone dropping a baby off through the postal service any time soon.
I am Sad and depressed and I can hardly take it any more.
I hate seeing pregnant women. I hate seeing babies. I hate seeing children.
I especially hate seeing parents walking around saying to their kids "Oh I wish I had never had you!!!!!"(copped that one in a shopping centre the other day and had to hold every horrible word inside me for that woman cos I know it was more out of frustration or at least I hope it was.)
I was told the other day...."Well at least you know you got pregnant".............I thought that too at the beginning. But now I wish I had never gotten pregnant in the first place. its even more hearbreaking to have to give up.
The thing is I would quite happily never get pregnant again. Its not the pregnancy I want.......its the live healthy baby at the end of the pregnancy I am desperate for.
thanks for listenng
Or I was.
I got a BFP yesterday clear as day but I had suspected it for a few days.
for starters
I could not stand the smell of Martin...just like last time
I felt the implantation cramping and new that was what it was
I went right of cereal........just like last time
I took to gulping down milk..........just like last time
I was tired as....just like last time
the one thing that was different was that on thursday I put on my bra and my boobs could hardly fit if it was a new bra I would have been like ........okay....... but this bra was 2 years old and washed many many times.
took the test yesterday at 10DPO and BFP appeared strait away. 5am today woke up in crampy hell of pain and bleeding everywhere. So again its over before it began.
On the posative side I got pregnant on my own.....perhaps with the help of my new female buddha necklace. no metformin and only on my prolactin meds.
this cycle I am going to be stopping my prolactin meds as soon as I ovulate and see if that could make any difference.
I am sad. I never told martin I was waiting to have a blood test on monday before telling him and now I am glad I didnt.
I have a feeling that all would have been well had I ovulated a few days earlier(I O'd on CD20) so I am going to hope and pray that I O a little sooner this cycle.
Well I am on CD5 now and we have decided since the unexpected pregnancy and subsequent m/c that maybe we are not meant to give up TTC just yet.
So we are going to go for it with a renewed vigour this cycle.
I am now on vitex as well as the Maca and I am also on the Robitussin to try and help my EWCM. I am drinking 2 litres of water a day as well as trying to gulp down horrible green tea for the same reason. lol
We are trying to do as much as possible to get me to ovulate earlier. Hopefully CD14 and hopefully pregnant with and October baby!!!!!
wish me luck...............am sure going to need it
Cancelled my doc completely and stayign with my naturopath
Cant stand my doctor any more. the thought of going back to see him again today turned my stomach.
Every time I visit him I end up in tears and never very far from where I began.
I went to the naturopath who is so fantastic and helpful and she loves my charts!!!
She confirmed my pregnancy from my chart and said my doc was mad...lol
she said my chart was triphasic too which looking at it no I can see.
She also confirmed what I already knew......
that the readon this baby did not stick was the fact I Ovulated at CD20. I knew this and told her that that is why I thought I m/c and she told me I was very smart and knew entirely too much about TTC...........lol
She has put me on a herbal tonic of stuff including vitex and other stuff including progesterone. We are hoping to bring my ovulation back to CD14 - CD16 to ensure that if......NO WHEN I get pregnant again that it will stick and I will hopefully stay pregnant. she also has stuff in that tonic that will help prevent m/c
I am so excited and instead of leaving the doctors office frustrated and in tears I left feeling happy and calm and feeling like I am on track with TTC again!!!
I am for the first time in a long time very happy!!!
much love and happy days to everyone

As of October 1, 2014, all children's behavioral health services are available through the traditional Medicaid benefit and Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.
This is part of the changes made possible by the Kentucky Medicaid State Plan amendment in January 2014, which included the addition of numerous behavioral health services and an expanded network of providers.
Previously, children with high-intensity behavioral health care needs had to be determined eligible to receive their services through specialized programs with alternative funding mechanisms, such as the IMPACT Plus program.
These changes should help all children and adults with Medicaid to receive their services quickly and with an additional choice in providers.
Any individual or agency interested in providing behavioral health services should use the "DMS Provider Enrollment" link in Related Links.
Individuals or families who are interested in obtaining behavioral health services should contact the Managed Care Organization to which their child is assigned. For further information, use the "Department for Medicaid Services" link in Related Links.

In general, a contract has adequate stated interest if the contract provides for a stated rate of interest that is at least equal to the test rate (determined under §1.483-3) and the interest is paid or compounded at least annually. Section 483 may apply to a contract whether the contract is express (written or oral) or implied. For purposes of section 483, a sale or exchange is any transaction treated as a sale or exchange for tax purposes. In addition, for purposes of section 483, property includes debt instruments and investment units, but does not include money, services, or the right to use property. For the treatment of certain obligations given in exchange for services or the use of property, see sections 404 and 467. For purposes of this paragraph (a), money includes functional currency and, in certain circumstances, nonfunctional currency. See §1.988-2(b)(2) for circumstances when nonfunctional currency is treated as money rather than as property. (2) Treatment of contracts to which section 483 applies—(i) Treatment of unstated interest. If section 483 applies to a contract, unstated interest under the contract is treated as interest for tax purposes. Thus, for example, unstated interest is not treated as part of the amount realized from the sale or exchange of property (in the case of the seller), and is not included in the purchaser's basis in the property acquired in the sale or exchange. (ii) Method of accounting for interest on contracts subject to section 483. Any stated or unstated interest on a contract subject to section 483 is taken into account by a taxpayer under the taxpayer's regular method of accounting (e.g., an accrual method or the cash receipts and disbursements method). See §§1.446-1, 1.451-1, and 1.461-1. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of interest (including unstated interest) allocable to a payment under a contract to which section 483 applies is determined under §1.446-2(e). (b) Definitions—(1) Deferred payments. For purposes of the regulations under section 483, a deferred payment means any payment that constitutes all or a part of the sales price (as defined in paragraph (b)(2) of this section), and that is due more than 6 months after the date of the sale or exchange. Except as provided in section 483(c)(2) (relating to the treatment of a debt instrument of the purchaser), a payment may be made in the form of cash, stock or securities, or other property. (2) Sales price. For purposes of section 483, the sales price for any sale or exchange is the sum of the amount due under the contract (other than stated interest) and the amount of any liability included in the amount realized from the sale or exchange. See §1.1001-2. Thus, the sales price for any sale or exchange includes any amount of unstated interest under the contract. (c) Exceptions to and limitations on the application of section 483—(1) In general. Sections 483(d), 1274(c)(4), and 1275(b) contain exceptions to and limitations on the application of section 483. (2) Sales price of $3,000 or less. Section 483(d)(2) applies only if it can be determined at the time of the sale or exchange that the sales price cannot exceed $3,000, regardless of whether the sales price eventually paid for the property is less than $3,000. (3) Other exceptions and limitations—(i) Certain transfers subject to section 1041. Section 483 does not apply to any transfer of property subject to section 1041 (relating to transfers of property between spouses or incident to divorce). (ii) Treatment of certain obligees. Section 483 does not apply to an obligee under a contract for the sale or exchange of personal use property (within the meaning of section 1275(b)(3)) in the hands of the obligor and that evidences a below-market loan described in section 7872(c)(1). (iii) Transactions involving certain demand loans. Section 483 does not apply to any payment under a contract that evidences a demand loan that is a below-market loan described in section 7872(c)(1). (iv) Transactions involving certain annuity contracts. Section 483 does not apply to any payment under an annuity contract described in section 1275(a)(1)(B) (relating to annuity contracts excluded from the definition of debt instrument). (v) Options. Section 483 does not apply to any payment under an option to buy or sell property. (d) Assumptions. If a debt instrument is assumed, or property is taken subject to a debt instrument, in connection with a sale or exchange of property, the debt instrument is treated for purposes of section 483 in a manner consistent with the rules of §1.1274-5. (e) Aggregation rule. For purposes of section 483, all sales or exchanges that are part of the same transaction (or a series of related transactions) are treated as a single sale or exchange, and all contracts calling for deferred payments arising from the same transaction (or a series of related transactions) are treated as a single contract. This rule, however, generally only applies to contracts and to sales or exchanges involving a single buyer and a single seller. (f) Effective date. This section applies to sales and exchanges that occur on or after April 4, 1994. Taxpayers, however, may rely on this section for sales and exchanges that occur after December 21, 1992, and before April 4, 1994. [T.D. 8517, 59 FR 4805, Feb. 2, 1994]

As the Opposition and the government differed on the interpretation of the Supreme Court judgment in the 2G case vis-à-vis the Prime Minister, it was announced that the government is examining the manner in which applications for sanction for prosecution of corrupt public servants are to be taken up.
While the BJP insisted that the verdict allowing the plea of Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy for prosecution in the 2G case was an indictment of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister's Office said it was a complete vindication of Dr. Singh.
In a statement, the PMO said: "We welcome the fact that both the learned judges have completely vindicated the Prime Minister whilst appreciating the onerous duties of his office. The government is examining their directions regarding the manner in which applications for sanctions are to be dealt with."
The statement is based on the observations of the court that had the Prime Minister been apprised of the full facts of the case, he would have taken appropriate action.
The BJP recalled the quashing of the appointment of CVC P.J. Thomas by the Supreme Court in March last. The latest court order amounted to 'second indictment' of Dr. Singh, it said.
BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad expressed the hope that Dr. Singh would now draw the 'right lessons' and not defend any corrupt minister. "Today's [Tuesday's] verdict is a severe indictment of the UPA government, particularly the functioning of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The application seeking prosecution of the then Telecom Minister, A. Raja, was kept pending for 16 months."
Mr. Prasad alleged that Dr. Singh then gave certificates of innocence to Mr. Raja and talked of coalition compulsions. No Prime Minister could defend a corrupt minister in the face of available evidence.
The BJP also sought to know if the UPA government would permit an 'honest investigation' into the alleged role of the then Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, in the 2G scam.

Brezhnev calls -- but is Gandhi listening?
New Delhi
Indian leaders are signaling their growing impatience with the continuing Soviet troop presence in Afghanistan. This comes even as Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev is using the occasion of his state visit to New Delhi to blame other nations -- notably the United States and Pakistan -- for making it impossible for the Red Army to leave.
Mr. Brezhnev's chief spokesman, Leonid Zamyatin, accused the United States of blocking a political settlement by "instigating and organizing" what he called "bandit formations" who enter Afghanistan from Pakistani territory. Such outside interference was the reason the Soviet Union reluctantly responded to 14 separate requests for military aid from Afghan leaders over a lengthy period of time, he asserted.
"When those reasons disappear . . . There would be no more reason for the Soviet military presence in that country," declared Zamyatin, who was relating Mr. Brezhnev's closed-door discussions with Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. "Those reasons are not vanishing," he added. "On the contrary they are becoming more pervasive."
The Soviet spokesman's account of the Brezhnev-Gandhi talks was in sharp contrast to the vague, diplomatic couched replay offered by Indian spokesman J. N. Dixit. Mr. Brezhnev's official spokeman laced his account with jibes at the Carter White House, particularly National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brezinski.
"We couldn't be further away from intentions to occupy Afghanistan," he said. "That is something that is imagined by those who are still sitting in the White House. Of course, I have in mind only advisers."
Earlier, he told US journalists that he wouldn't mention the countries that are instigating outside intervention in Afghanistan. "Well, after all, you're going to have a new administration soon," he said.
Mr. Brezhnev's visit is widely perceived as an attemp to woo Indian acquiescence in the continued Soviet military presence in Afghanistan. At the least, the Soviets hope to keep India from slipping from its studied refusal to publicly join international condemnations of the Soviet invasion.

You can't tell from looking at me today, but I avoided the Lord Jesus Christ for the first 34 years of my life, turning to a "Higher Power" only in times of dire emergency or extreme turbulence. Raised by a brilliant, single mom, I was taught to be responsible and moral, but not spiritual. It wasn't until I was poised to marry my college sweetheart that I accepted Jesus as my Savior at a Christmas program. My husband's immediate job relocation after the wedding derailed any urgency to be discipled or trained. A new husband, a new city, a new home, and a new job preoccupied my days leaving me saved, but spiritually and Biblically illiterate.
After 7 years of marriage, the first of two children was born to Jay and I and a host of questions about God was reignited. I joined a Bible study to accumulate information so I'd be prepared to answer questions my children might ask about God. What started as an educational quest ended with a life long commitment to God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus became not only my Savior, but LORD of my life. I have been leading other women to Jesus in weekly Bible studies and at women's events ever since.
Widowed at 40 and left with two small children when my husband Jay died unexpectedly of a heart attack, I testify of God's faithfulness in times of great tragedy and the power of his love and comfort by the Holy Spirit and through his Body, the church.
I am a homebody by nature; my favorite pastimes are reading, baking, and watching videos (as long as I control the remote). So, it was quite an adjustment when I married again to an adventuous soul named Craig. He came with a single engine airplane, so I acquired my pilot's license and later, obtained my motorcycle endorsement so we could each carry a child on our excursions. On a routine flight, Craig's plane went down in the mountains of Pennsylvania. After weeks of searching, he was found, but had been killed by the impact of the crash.
Being widowed twice in four years gives me a unique voice to speak on the faithfulness of God, the power of prayer, and finding joy in difficult circumstances. At 58, I hide my gray hairs but share my wisdom – teaching women about finding balance for everyday life, creating a fabulous legacy, the golden rules of marriage, and the importance of friendships to today's woman. I am eager to share God's story through mine and by his Word. I teach the Bible by topic or theme at retreats, conferences, special occasion events, holiday programs, and MOPS meetings.
As impossible as it seems, I married again! Obviously not superstitious, Dave, who at 37, had never been married or had children of his own, courageously took us on – – a woman at the precipice of menopause and two prepubescent boys. Jake who was 12 by then, and Eli who was 9, both welcomed Dave's request to adopt them the following year.
These days, both young men are grown and doing well. Jake is a Mechanical Engineer, Eli is a fire fighter. After 13 years as a family man, Dave is grayer but successful at home and at work. We live and serve Jesus in Grand Rapids, MI.
I would welcome the opportunity to share my story and/or a combination of one of my many other teachings with your women. Please contact me at email@example.com or call me at 616-363-4608 to schedule.
Statement of Faith
I believe the Bible in its original writings to be the inspired, authoritative Word of God.
I believe that there is One God, eternally existent in Three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I believe that man was created in the image of God, and that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God.
I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His death as atonement for the sins of all who believe in Him, in His bodily resurrection and ascension into Heaven, and in His personal return to earth in power and glory.
I believe that the Holy Spirit indwells each believer at the moment of salvation and continues to empower and teach as the believer is yielded more and more completely to God. The Holy Spirit is evident in the believer's life by the fruit He gives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control; by the varieties of gifts He gives to build up His body, the church, and by the power He gives to witness and make disciples.
I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and the commitment we share to spread His Word and to minister to the needs of one another.

Blondes vs. Brunettes® was created in the fall of 2005 by a group of young professional women in Washington, D.C., led by Sara Abbott. Her sister, Kate Stukenberg, soon grew the game to Texas. The founders had a personal connection to Alzheimer's disease and designed the event to raise awareness among their peers while also raising funds for the Alzheimer's Association. Since that inaugural game in Washington D.C., the event has successfully branched out to more than 30 additional cities, raising more than $4 million and bringing thousands of new supporters to the cause.
Blondes vs. Brunettes is a volunteer-driven active event for women that that brings the passion and spirit of young community leaders together to support the Alzheimer's Association. The event concept is organized around a flag football game in which the two participating teams are divided based on the age-old rivalry between blondes and brunettes.
An event committee leads the organization of the BvB game and all associated events. This committee has the support of the local Alzheimer's Association chapter in coordination and organization.
The funds raised through Blondes vs. Brunettes benefit the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association. We strive to:
Take the first step to a world without Alzheimer's by finding an event near you. Once you register, you will have access to a wide range of tools and support through your Participant Center, ensuring a successful and fulfilling experience.

Is the Taliban really training monkeys to shoot at US troops?
A report in China's People's Daily indicated that the Taliban is creating an army of monkey mujahideen. The report is almost certainly false, a distinguished primatologist says.
Illustration by Jake Turcotte
A bizarre report of Taliban insurgents training monkeys and baboons to shoot at U.S. and NATO soldiers in Afghanistan seems unrealistic at best, according to an expert.
The story that appeared this month in the Chinese People's Daily suggested that insurgents used a reward-and-punishment system to train macaques and baboons to target soldiers wearing U.S. military uniforms. The Taliban supposedly "taught monkeys how to use the Kalashnikov, Bren light machine gun and trench mortars," the People's Daily wrote. [Top 10 Animal Recruits of War]
But a researcher who has spent his career studying the social life of nonhuman primates cast a highly critical eye on the story.
"They can be trained to do things like turn off lights and open faucets and so on, but eventually that breaks down," said William Mason, a psychologist and professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis. "If we're talking about animals going out into the field or a fortress with an AK-47 or whatever, it seems very, very implausible."

It smells bad, and has a crazy color, but it WORKS for my dry hair. It did leave it soft and silky, and you can even leave it for extra conditioning. Don't ever buy the shampoo because it's terrible.
I hated this! I tried it thinking that it would make my dry hair soft and shiny. I was so wrong. It left my hair limp and lifeless. I don't think that my hair was an shinier either, just greasy.
I'm a hairstylist and we carry and use every professional line. This conditioner used every other day and rinsed well will repair the worst of damaged and overprocessed hair...particularly overfoiled blondes. I've seen it over and over again. It takes about a month of regular use.
I love this stuff and also the "deepshine lusterizer" for blowdrying daily.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got the Rusk Deep Shine Shampoo and Conditioner in a set of 2 8 oz. bottles for $5.00 at a local salon, so it was dirt cheap. I love, love, lovvvvvvve the shampoo. It smells so pretty (smells like the air at the ocean in Oregon state!).
I was not thrilled with the conditioner, though. I hated the nasty bright green color. It looked like slime or baby food. The smell of the conditioner was boring. It was too light and didn't really do much for my hair. It worked better as a *LEAVE IN* conditioner, actually, which the bottle said you could do, also.
So, occasionally I use it as a leave-in before drying my hair, but I like (love, actually) the SHAMPOO in the Rusk Deep shine lots more. I have three 8 oz. bottles of the conditioner left (agggggh!) and won't buy the conditioner again.
They work alright as a leave-in or mixed with the Rusk "Str8" straightening lotion, however...
Great easy to use slim packaging, though. The pump bottle (16 oz.) is bulbous and too big, though. Cool bottle in the big size, though. Looks like it's from a Chemistry Set! Cute, but takes up a lot of room.
More reviews by skandelouslala
One of my favorite conditioners. It is very light which is great for my hair. Some people dislike the scent of the Deep Shine line but I for one love it. I generally wash this out but you *can* use it as a leave in, which is no good for fine hair like mine. Leaves my hair super soft. Don't notice much with the whole shine factor, nothing out of the norms anyways but the softness is great.
I read this bottle and I figured "wow, it sounds like this thing really gives your hair the best shine!" But in all reality it is not dramatically different from any other normal conditioner. Although I know that the sea kelp and other ingredients are very good for your hair, which is why I gave this 3 lippies, but as far as intense shine goes, it is just a mediocre conditioner. I don't think I would repurchase this again.
I have the same feelings about this as I do for the shampoo. Just nothing special about it and I didn't have a nice shine to my hair at all.

- Alsace
- France
For lovers of fine white and rosé wines, there are few regions in the world quite as good as France's Alsace. The region itself is a particularly fascinating one, as it has long been fought over by France and Germany, resulting in a culture and wine industry which is something of a blend of the two countries. Wines in Alsace are almost all white, although there are more wineries now producing the pale red or pinkish Pinot Noir wines which the region is also renowned for. Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Muscat are also grown in huge quantities across the Alsace, and most of the region's wines are made from these varietals. Overall, Alsace is a highly productive region of France, with over a hundred million liters of wine being produced annually from the nine permitted grape varietals the region grows.
French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.

Comerica Park
Attendance: None
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Orlando Cabrera went 2-for-5 with a three-run double and scored once as the Minnesota Twins kept their slim hopes for winning the AL Central alive with an 8-3 win against the Detroit Tigers.
Minnesota and Detroit split the four-game series and the Tigers currently hold a two-game lead over the Twins for the division crown, the last undecided playoff spot in the American League.
Detroit, which has a magic number of two, hosts Chicago for its final three games of the season. Minnesota returns home to play the last regular-season set ever at the Metrodome, a three-game series with Kansas City.
Joe Mauer had two hits and drove in two, while Denard Span had an RBI and scored twice for the Twins, who have remained in contention for the division this season thanks to an 11-7 record against Detroit.
"We beat the ball around pretty decent and we finally broke it loose," said Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire. "We did what we had to do and now we have to go home and sweep and see what happens."
Scott Baker (15-9) got the win as he threw five innings and was charged with one unearned run on five hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Five other Minnesota pitchers combined to throw the final four innings and gave up two unearned runs on two hits and three walks.
"However this turns out we definitely had to win today," said Baker. "It's nice to know that we can win a ballgame in a must-win situation."
Gerald Laird went 2-for-4 with an RBI, while Curtis Granderson knocked in a run for the Tigers, who are still looking for their first division title since 1987. Nate Robertson (2-3) was tagged for four runs -- three earned -- on nine hits with two strikeouts over six-plus innings of work.
"They played good baseball this series," said Robertson. "I didn't beat myself, I made them beat me and they did."
The Tigers scored first with a run in the second inning. Marcus Thames led off with a single and moved to second as Delmon Young misplayed the ball. Thames moved to third on Brandon Inge's groundout and scored on Laird's single.
However, the Twins surged ahead in the third. Nick Punto led off with a single and Span was hit by a pitch. After Cabrera flied out, Mauer singled home a run and Michael Cuddyer followed with an RBI single. Jason Kubel then lofted a sacrifice fly to center to score Mauer for a 3-1 lead.
In the top of the fourth, Brendan Harris got on base after Inge fielded the grounder cleanly, but threw it away. Mike Redmond then singled and a sacrifice bunt from Punto moved the runners up a base. Span's groundout plated Harris for a 4-1 advantage.
Detroit threatened in the fourth by loading the bases with two outs, but Ramon Santiago fouled out to end the frame.
Magglio Ordonez started the Detroit fifth with a single, but Miguel Cabrera hit into a double play. Carlos Guillen then walked, but Thames struck out to end the inning.
Jon Rauch and Ron Mahay worked the sixth inning while Matt Guerrier pitched the seventh, with the frame ending when Santiago left the bag too early on a tag-up attempt and was doubled off first base.
In the eighth, Minnesota sealed the win on a three-run double from Cabrera followed by an RBI single from Mauer for an 8-1 advantage.
The extra runs proved to be a boon for the Twins as the Tigers got two across in the eighth. Guillen scored on Harris' fielding error, and an RBI single from Granderson made it an 8-3 game. Detroit manager Jim Leyland was ejected by home plate umpire Angel Hernandez for arguing after the run-scoring hit.
"Their managers and their players did better than us today," said Leyland. "They played the game and won the game and now he have to get back to it."
Two batters had been hit in the game coming into the ninth, one from each team, Jeremy Bonderman began the frame by plunking Young.
When Young got up, he slammed his helmet on the ground and gestured angrily at his own bench. Both benches spilled on the field, but no melee ensued as cooler heads prevailed. However, Bonderman and Laird were ejected.
Joe Nathan worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth to close the game.

Lehman Said to Seek Financing for Archstone Counterbid
The estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEHMQ) is trying to raise money for a possible counterbid to Equity Residential's deal for a 26.5 percent stake in U.S. apartment owner Archstone, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Lehman, which owns 47 percent of Archstone, is in discussions with investors including Blackstone Group LP (BX) and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM/A) to arrange financing, said the person, who asked not to be named because the negotiations are private. Equity Residential said Dec. 2 that it agreed to pay $1.33 billion to buy the interest from Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and Barclays Plc (BARC), which together hold 53 percent of Archstone.
The agreement with Equity Residential, the Chicago-based landlord controlled by billionaire Sam Zell, sets up a fight for control of Archstone, which owned all or part of 434 apartment complexes in the U.S. and Europe as of June 30. The deal is contingent on Lehman declining to exercise a right of first offer on the bid. The firm, in bankruptcy since 2008, has 10 days to give notice of a matching offer, two people with knowledge of the situation said.
"The Equity Residential bid may simply represent an opening salvo in what could be a long bidding process -- potentially continuing until the middle of 2012," Andrew McCulloch, senior analyst at Green Street Advisors Inc. in Newport Beach, California, wrote in a note to clients yesterday.
Financing Commitment
Equity Residential has obtained a commitment from Morgan Stanley (MS) Senior Funding to provide a $1 billion bridge loan, the company said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing dated Dec. 2. The company expects to fund the transaction with cash and an existing $1.25 billion credit facility, it said.
Equity Residential is entitled to receive a breakup fee of as much as $80 million if its deal doesn't go through, according to the SEC filing.
McCulloch said Lehman has about 60 days for a bid. The extra time after the 10-day period is allotted to transfer funds, said the people familiar with the process, who asked not to be named because terms of the agreement aren't public.
If Lehman matches the agreement, Equity Residential (EQR) then has a 30-day option to purchase the other 26.5 percent owned by Bank of America and Barclays, according to McCulloch. The lenders are forbidden to discuss the sale of this second piece with any other parties until Lehman's initial rights period is up and Equity Residential's 30-day right has expired, he said.
Kimberly Macleod, a spokeswoman for Lehman, declined to comment, as did Peter Rose, a spokesman for New York-based Blackstone; Andrew Willis, a spokesman for Toronto-based Brookfield; and Peter Jakel, a spokesman for Archstone.
Worth More
Lehman's effort was reported yesterday by the Financial Times. The estate of the bankrupt securities firm estimates that Archstone's equity value is $1 billion more than the $5 billion implied by Equity Residential's bid, the newspaper said.
Equity Residential, the largest publicly traded U.S. apartment landlord, is seeking to gain a piece of a major rival as rental demand climbs. If successful, the real estate investment trust may be in a position to influence Archstone's final ownership.
Determining Outcome
"The Archstone and Equity Residential portfolios are highly complementary," David Neithercut, Equity Residential's president and chief executive officer, said in the statement announcing the deal. "Since we believe that none of the current owners of Archstone is likely to be a long-term owner, acquiring this position allows us a role in determining, and perhaps even expediting, the ultimate outcome regarding Archstone."
Equity Residential would like to own the entire company, Zell, the REIT's chairman, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal last week.
Bank of America, Barclays and Lehman couldn't agree on a complete sale of Archstone because Lehman preferred to hold the assets until a public offering, two people with knowledge of the situation said in October. The firm acquired Englewood, Colorado-based Archstone with Tishman Speyer Properties LP for about $22 billion in 2007. The debt taken on in the purchase contributed to Lehman's collapse in 2008 as credit markets froze and property values tumbled.
Apartment owners are benefiting from increased demand for home rentals as foreclosures mount and lenders tighten standards for mortgages. U.S. vacancies fell to a five-year low in the third quarter, enabling landlords to boost lease rates, according to property-research company Reis Inc. (REIS)
Equity Residential owns or has investments in 417 properties in 15 states and the District of Columbia. The REIT is targeting Boston, New York, Washington, south Florida, southern California, San Francisco and Seattle for acquisitions and development, according to its most recent quarterly report. Archstone operates in all of those areas as well as Germany.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as Equity Residential's financial adviser and Hogan Lovells as legal adviser, according to the SEC filing.
