JESSICA SIMPSON and her fiancé, former NFL player ERIC JOHNSON, got married Saturday at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California on Saturday. Their 1-year-old son Ace was the ring bearer, and their 2-year-old daughter Maxwell was the flower girl. Celebrities in attendance included Jessica's sister Ashlee, Jessica Alba, Topher Grace and Donald Faison.
ASHTON KUTCHER and MILA KUNIS attended a wedding in Italy on Saturday. Ashton wore Indian garb . . . including a RED TURBAN. He was also apparently part of the evening's entertainment, because he and another woman performed a Bollywood-style dance.
Sherri Shepherd apparently wants nothing to do with unborn surrogate baby now that she and her husband are getting divorced. The baby was conceived through IVF with an egg donor and her estranged husband's sperm. The baby is due in just a few weeks. Sources say Sherri believes Lamar Sally defrauded her into having a child so he could get child support knowing full well he was planning to file for divorce. And the sources say Shepherd now does not want to be considered a parent because she does not want to take financially responsibility.

Yesterday, JEWEL and her husband TY MURRAY announced that they're getting divorced. And no, Jewel didn't refer to it as a "conscious uncoupling." Her description was EVEN WORSE. On her blog, she said, quote, "For some time we have been engaged in private and difficult, but THOUGHTFUL AND TENDER UNDOING OF OURSELVES. Allowing ourselves the time and space to redefine what we are to each other with love rather than with malice."
On "Good Morning America" yesterday, ROBIN THICKE admitted he's just, quote, "flying by the seat of my pants" when it comes to trying to get his wife PAULA PATTON back. He added, quote, "I actually have no idea what I'm doing." Meanwhile, in a radio interview on Tuesday Robin admitted he hasn't seen Paula in FOUR MONTHS.
LINDSAY LOHAN filed a lawsuit against the makers of "Grand Theft Auto 5" yesterday, claiming they used her likeness for a character named Lacey Jones . . . who DOES kind of look like her. No word on how much she's suing for.
KATHERINE HEIGL says she almost quit acting at one point . . . because she felt betrayed by her CAREER. Quote, "The thing that was my best friend for a long time [my career] suddenly turned on me, and I didn't expect it. I was taken by surprise and angry at it for betraying me."

CAMERON DIAZ claims she lets it all hang out in her new movie "Sex Tape" . . . quote, "I mean you see everything." She also talks about not being a mom at 41 . . . quote, "I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother. I have it much easier than any of them. That's just what it is. Doesn't mean life isn't sometimes hard. I'm just what I am."
JULIANNE HOUGH spoke with "Redbook" about why her relationship with RYAN SEACREST didn't work. She said, quote, "There was nothing wrong or bad, but there was nothing right. I had one foot out because I didn't want to get hurt. And I didn't say what was on my mind because I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. I needed to be perfect."
ROBIN WILLIAMS checked into rehab, but his people say he did NOT fall off the wagon. A rep says, quote, "After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud."
SHIA LABEOUF isn't in rehab after all, but his rep says he is, quote, "voluntarily receiving treatment for alcohol addiction." He adds, quote, "Shia understands that these recent actions are a symptom of a larger health problem and he has taken the first of many necessary steps towards recovery."
"In Touch Weekly" says PORTIA DE ROSSI went to rehab back in May for an addiction to drugs and alcohol . . . which she turned to because of ELLEN DEGENERES and her controlling ways. A source claims, quote, "She went from sipping white wine occasionally to drinking at least a bottle or more a day and topping it off with a pill. It got to the point where she was out of it four nights a week."
JUSTIN BIEBER was partying at his house early Tuesday morning with newly-drafted Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Tyrese Gibson and rapper Tyga. But neighbors called the cops because the music was too loud. They turned it down and everything was cool. Until police had to come back because there were screaming female fans outside.

Tuesday, July 1, 2014
According to "People" magazine, JOE MANGANIELLO from "True Blood" and "Magic Mike" is the hottest SINGLE GUY in Hollywood. He's on the cover of their new issue featuring "Hollywood's Hottest Bachelors". This year's other hot bachelors include Jared Leto, Sam Smith, Ian Somerhalder, and Usher.
Did JUSTIN BIEBER hook back up with SELENA GOMEZ, just so he could start messing around on her again? Justin went to a skating party thrown by CHRIS BROWN the other night, and he appeared to be getting close to a woman. At one point it even looked like he was getting her number. He also posted some pictures of himself with two women. One of them was Chantal Jeffries, the woman who was with him when he got his DUI earlier this year. Yesterday, Selena posted an emo-looking selfie in which her hair was covering most of her face. It was captioned, "Class never runs scared. It is sure-footed and confident, and it can handle whatever comes along. Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations." We don't know if it had anything to do with Justin.
BEYONCÉ tops this year's Forbes Celebrity 100 list . . . a ranking of the 100 most powerful celebrities. LEBRON JAMES is second, with earnings of $72 million. DR. DRE finished third, thanks to his sale of Beats to Apple for $3 billion. Beyoncé's husband JAY Z only made it to sixth.
ROBERY DOWNEY JR.'S 20-year-old son Indio was arrested for DRUGS on Sunday. Cops pulled him over in L.A., and found cocaine in his car. His father released a statement yesterday saying that, quote, "there's a genetic component to addiction, and Indio has likely inherited it," adding that his family is standing by him.
A celebrity gossip website followed SHIA LABEOUF yesterday from his house to a private REHAB facility. They said, quote, "Shia was nervous; he didn't look good all morning. He was looking down and wasn't even talking to his driver. It looked like he didn't want to do it, but he knew he had to."

AMY ADAMS gave up her first class airplane seat to a SOLDIER on a flight from Detroit to L.A. She tried to do it inconspicuously, but other passengers saw what happened, so the story got out. When the press contacted Amy she said, quote, "I didn't do it for attention for myself. I did it for attention for the Troops."
Several hours before being arrested for disrupting a Broadway revival of "Cabaret" this past Thursday, SHIA LABEOUF was seen out on the street . . . chasing a homeless guy around for his hat. He'd also been to two bars that day, and was yelling at a random woman who had no idea what was going on.
Miley Cyrus got a new dog named Emu last week. It's a Collie. Her last dog, Floyd, was killed by a coyote back in April. She posted on Instagram that she recently held a memorial service, and felt Floyd give her his blessing.
On Thursday, Mark Ruffalo said in an interview that he doesn't talk to his "13 Going on 30" costar, Jennifer Garner anymore . . . because her husband Ben Affleck won't let them be friends. Quote, "We had a great time together . . . But then Ben came on the scene, and that was the end of that."
KHLOE KARDASHIAN turned 30 on Friday, and there was plenty of celebrating. Khloe's boyfriend FRENCH MONTANA bought her a brand new $49,000 Jeep and $30,000 worth of jewelry. There was also a yacht party, where KYLIE and KENDALL JENNER were spotted drinking out of wine and champagne glasses. We don't know WHAT they were drinking, though.

Advanced drilling methods are increasing output and employment, generating economic benefits on multiple fronts. The increased demand for workers based on increased productivity and the surge of capital investment in the oil and natural gas industry provide real inducements for economic growth in sharp contrast with "green" energy subsidies and political job stimulus puffery. The oil and gas sector can be a major force in closing the growth and jobs gap left by a weak recovery from the recession.
Domestic Oil & Gas Boom Addresses Multiple Problems
The field of energy is fraught with misunderstandings. As a result, the reaction to truly fortuitous developments can be confused. The technological revolution in shale oil and gas production is as near an unequivocal benefit as there can be. This is not the time to start taking the energy supply for granted or to doubt the national benefits of domestic production. Increasing the domestic supply of oil and gas will:
- Improve the U.S. trade balance,
- Realize cost savings for the U.S. economy,
- Moderate the world oil price,
- Create productive jobs,
- Increase government revenue,
- Increase capital investment, and
- Induce economic growth.
The federal government ought to do everything in its power to facilitate the safe expansion of domestic crude oil and natural gas supplies.
The entire study is attached in pdf format below.

I followed it on Reddit. We crowd sourced the investigation, poured over every image taken at the marathon, painstakingly sought out every swarthy looking male carrying a bag, and reported them to the FBI and the paper media. In some cases the FBI infuriatingly didn't act on our discoveries, so we hate bombed facebook pages and made sure any nut with a gun knew the full name, phone number and full address of anyone we suspected. We even got two swarthy indviduals with bags onto the cover of the New York Post.
We all did our part. Without our help, they would never have been caught this fast.
Hopefully the AC comment was posted as a sarcastic comment. It's hard to tell sometimes. But yes, the social media hords did get two INNOCENT people on the cover. Mostly it seems as though the crowd sourcing folks did a great imitation of Chicken Little.
I don't mean to downplay the pain of the victims of this horrible crime, but the media pointing a finger at two completely innocent people was, for me, the most chilling part of the entire story. These guys could easily have ended up dead because 12 year olds where joking around on Reddit and the press picked it up as legitimate.

Well, they were white Americans, so I guess the mainstream media was ecstatic, right?

That guy sort of lost his right to be presumed innocent when he carjacked the guy, told that guy that he was the one responsible for the bombs, and then later shot at and threw explosives at the police.

In this particular case, it's not yet clear whether "terrorist" is technically the right categorization. Sick murderous fucks, certainly. However, we don't know whether the perpetrators were intending to use this as leverage for political ends (simply having political/religious motivations/grievances does not make "terrorism"). Were the perpetrators intending to release threats calling for some political action lest such events be repeated (terrorism)? Or just planning to slink away unidentified, personally satisfied at having caused mayhem (not terrorism)? They were likely not linked to any larger, more organized terrorist network --- otherwise, they probably would have had access to more powerful high explosives than gunpowder, and a more orderly escape plan (or deadly final suicide).
Terrorists normally say that they did it, and what they would like the government to do so that they won't do it again in the future. These people didn't do that, so I think they are mass murderers rather than terrorists.

School shootings and similar mass murder/rampages outside schools (the Batman movie theater shooting, the odd mall shooting, etc.) seem to occur on the order of once a year, and kill on the order of 10 people.
Gang and/or drug-trade related homicides are on the order of 3000 a year.
Motor vehicle deaths are on the order of 30000 a year.
I'm not trying to in any way minimize the impact of this on those who it has actually affected, or to suggest that the authorities are necessarily overreacting, just to say: what's the point of following all the in-depth coverage of it? I'm unlikely to find myself embroiled in a similar bomb plot and its aftermath, so more knowledge is unlikely to have a practical benefit to me; I already know that it happened, satisfying the social usefulness of knowing what somebody means when they say "That thing in Boston sure sucked, eh?"; what utility am I missing that I would get if I watched more?
I'm just not seeing anything good that comes out of following each tragedy in depth -- and there's plenty of bad: the mundane deaths are enough, I don't need to get depressed by morbid examination of each more exotic death as well. And it's worse, because even though I know the many exotic deaths each have a tiny probability, and even taken together, sum to a ridiculously small probability, the human mind still sucks at dealing rationally with probability. How much worse for the people who can't be arsed to even estimate the probabilities with the rational part of their mind -- this is why we have a frightening number of people who believe either restricting gun ownership or putting an armed guard in every damn school is a reasonable reaction to the tiny real-world incidence of school shootings. (This is not to say that either of those 'solutions' is necessarily without merit in the big picture (although I do think they are), just that it's literally insane to suggest the tiny, tiny amount of harm associated with school shootings justifies a response as costly as the ones being pushed by each US political party.)

The fertilizer plant that exploded on Wednesday, obliterating part of a small Texas town and killing at least 14 people, had last year been storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would normally trigger safety oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)... Fertilizer plants and depots must report to the DHS when they hold 400 lb or more of the substance. Filings this year with the Texas Department of State Health Services, which weren't shared with DHS, show the plant had 270 tons of it on hand last year.

I grew up in the UK in the 70's and 80's and during this time the IRA were detonating bombs in Northern Ireland on a regular basis, funded by collections taken in places like Boston where there is a large Irish community. Yes, it's sad that people died in Boston, but just because this particular pair of bombs were detonated in the USA it doesn't make it an international event.
The Boston Marathon [wikipedia.org] is an international event.
Also, the funding of the Provisional IRA by Boston is being over-reported. Boston Irish tend to be from the west and south of Ireland and do not have much association with the north.

Perhaps they might, just might, for a moment reflect on the fact that their joyfully made contributions to help "the boyos" back home, were used to buy Semtex to make bombs that devastated British cities for years, and were used to kill and maim innocent British men, women and children.

The IRA to my knowledge never had plans for world domination. Much--maybe not 'most', but much--of political Islam ("Islamism") does. The IRA doesn't to my knowledge attack countries who have allegedly wronged non-Irish Catholics. By comparison, Iran is only happy to wage jihad against countries that have not wronged it, haven't wronged people of the same ethnicity or language (Persian vs. Arab, in case anyone still doesn't realize the difference), and haven't even wronged people belonging to the same flavor of Islam (Shia vs. Sunni being a rather huge divide.) In other words, the pan-Islam nature of the conflict makes this newsworthy.
Because now we have a couple of Chechens waging their tiny little war against us. And maybe it's because they think we've been too soft on Russia, but I think it's more likely that they (or perhaps just the deceased big brother) sympathized with pan-Islamic causes. If there was an international organization involved, I think you'll agree that's certainly news. If it was lone wolf that's also certainly news, because it is one HELL of a culture/belief system that can inspire that kind of out of the blue fanaticism.

You don't know much about Irish Republicans. The various branches of the IR currently implicated in terrorism are technically not the IRA. The actual IRA went Communist in the 70s, and thus stopped obsessing over six counties, which forced Irish Nationalists to set up their own groups like the PIRA and the Real IRA.
Additionally Irish Republicans have never been shy about trying to conquer anyone who happens to be between them and the British occupation of Ireland. For example right after the Civil War Irish

On the other hand, the events in Boston were, at the very least, unusual. That's what news *is*.
By that logic, nothing short of a war is newsworthy. Interesting note, there was something like 60 poeple missing in that fertilizer explosion last I heard, so the death toll will be maybe 25-to-1 to the Boston bombing.
Or, every traffic crash is newsworthy, not just the ones where young drunk people kill families (the media responding to MADD pressure to demonize the rare crashes, not the common ones). There were two choices, and you missed the more reasonable one.

Carson-Newman Lashes Out with 26 Hits in Sweeping Lady Falcon Softball on Sunday Afternoon
February 26, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Carson-Newman College swept a pair of non-conference softball games in convincing fashion over Pfeiffer University 10-2 and 12-2 on Sunday afternoon at Jack Ingram Field. The Eagles improve to 13-5 overall while the Lady Falcons drop to 3-9.
In the opener, Pfeiffer struck in the first on an Ashlee Ellen (Jacksonville, FL) single up the middle that plated Celia Dew (Sanford, NC). Carson-Newman would put two up in the fourth on a Bethany Davis (Nicholasville, KY) two-run single while adding a Bri Shoemake (Ooltewah, TN) sac-fly in the fifth and a solo homerun by Davis in the sixth to make it a 4-1 contest.
Pfeiffer would add one in their sixth on a Kirsten Patterson (Anthem, AZ) RBI single but the Eagles would respond with six runs in the seventh, using another long ball by Davis, to score the 10-2 win. Davis would finish game one 3-for-4 with five RBI and two runs scored. Dew, Ellen and Patterson had the only three hits for the Lady Falcons.
Game two saw Carson-Newman take control quickly with two in the first on a Mary Shealy (Clinton, SC) two-run blast to center before posting five hits in a six-run second taking an 8-0 lead. Pfeiffer would score their two in the third on a Dew triple to right-center and a Hannah Jackson (Greensboro, NC) sacrifice fly. Using four more runs in the sixth, the Eagles were able to force the eight-run rule on the Lady Falcons ending the six-inning contest 12-2.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Thursday traveling to Wingate for a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader with the Bulldogs.

Officials are encouraging safety in the wake of several area fires in recent weeks — and they say being safe in the kitchen is a great place to start.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking fires are the No. 1 cause of home fires and home injuries. Leaving food cooking on a stove, in an oven or in a slow cooker without being attended or timed can lead to severe consequences.
Jacksonville Fire Marshal John Reed stated in an email that there have been several recent residential fires in the city directly associated with unattended cooking.
Onslow County Fire Marshal Brian Kelly said that the main problem is multitasking.
"It is a fairly common occurrence," he said. "In today's society, we get so bombarded with everyday life — the phone ringing, the kids going here and there — we get sidetracked. That becomes a very common thing."
He said it is common to walk away and forget things — especially in an oven or slow cooker.
"We have the mentality to 'set it and forget it,'" Kelly said. "We set it on the stove, set the temperature and walk away.
"We're not a society who stays in the kitchen."
Kelly recommends using timers, even if you are cooking something for several hours. He said it is best to check every 45 minutes or so to make sure the item is cooking as planned and there are no fire hazards.
"Use a timer on your cell phone or one that you can clip on your belt," he said. "If nothing else, put a wooden spoon in your pocket — you'll remember it."
Another issue is leaving the house while you're cooking.
"You should always stay at home and in the house when you are cooking," Kelly said. "With Crockpot meals, you want to make sure you are home and everything is safe. If you're not home and it catches fire, you're going to lose everything."
Kelly said that the biggest thing people need to realize is that cooking tools and appliances are manmade devices.
"They will fail, and we don't want to fall victim to that failure," he said. "While you like to think that nothing will happen, it could."
Kelly said that he hears of eight people each day across the U.S. who die in home fires. Some simple steps can help prevent some of these fires that arise from cooking.
"Always attend to the stove when frying something," he said. "Never throw water on a grease fire."
Kelly doesn't recommend pouring baking soda on a grease fire either, because it puts the person too close to the flames.
"Keep a lid close by to smother the grease fire and have a mitt to protect your hand," he said. "I use a cookie sheet so I can just slide it over the pot without having to put my hand where the fire is."
Kelly said that if the fire is too big, the best rule of thumb is to get out.
"Some people try to be a hero, but that can kill you. Close the door behind you to help contain the fire, and make sure everyone is out," he said.
He stresses having active smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher in the house to help with fire prevention and protection. But, above all, he says to be attentive to those fires, like cooking fires, that may be preventable.
"You have to be aware, attentive and close by," he said.

One other note, this is a board run by 4 guys from NOLA with the help of a number of moderators, all of whom are from NOLA or hold the city dear to them. Combine this with the membership here, and you see the result.
That said, this is a non-profit site. It's a hobby for us owners. If you like what you see, we do accept donations, but we don't require people to pay for any of the information and entertainment obtained here.
Thanks for allowing me this shameless plug (seemed like as good a time as any).
You're right there WCH, whichever way you look, there are qualified experts and 'inside sources' you won't find elsewhere. Thanks to them this board pulses with new news, not ESPN news....

Yes, No1_hornet was spot on about all those moves and I do believe he has an inside source or is working for the league or whatever. But you have to admit that there is a huge difference between HH's 'hunches' which proved to be right time and again and which came from a known and very active member of the community ... and some supposed inside info from a guy nobody knows and who (albeit being a long time member) never posted. I still maintain what I said earlier ... coming here with this post (as in the original post in this thread) and actually thinking people will take you seriously in an instant is a little unrealistic .

Ariel: The Restored Edition: A Facsimile of Plath's Manuscript, Reinstating Her Original Selection and Arrangement
Ariel: The Restored Edition: A Facsimile of Plath's Manuscript, Reinstating Her Original Selection and Arrangement (Hardcover)
Related Editions
Upon the publication of her posthumous volume of poetry, Ariel, in the mid-1960s, Sylvia Plath became a household name. Readers may be surprised to learn that the draft of Ariel left behind by Sylvia Plath when she died in 1963 is different from the volume of poetry eventually published to worldwide acclaim.
This facsimile edition restores, for the first time, the selection and arrangement of the poems as Sylvia Plath left them at the point of her death. In addition to the facsimile pages of Sylvia Plaths manuscript, this edition also includes in facsimile the complete working drafts of the title poem, "Ariel," in order to offer a sense of Plath's creative process, as well as notes the author made for the BBC about some of the manuscript's poems.
In her insightful foreword to this volume, Frieda Hughes, Sylvia Plath's daughter, explains the reasons for the differences between the previously published edition of Ariel as edited by her father, Ted Hughes, and her mother's original version published here. With this publication, Sylvia Plath's legacy and vision will be re-evaluated in the light of her original working draft.
About the Author
Sylvia Plath was born in 1932 in Massachusetts. Her books include the poetry collections The Colossus, Crossing the Water, Winter Trees, Ariel, and The Collected Poems, which won the Pulitzer Prize. A complete and uncut facsimile edition of Ariel was published in 2004 with her original selection and arrangement of poems. She was married to the poet Ted Hughes, with whom she had a daughter, Frieda, and a son, Nicholas. She died in London in 1963.

The West Gym
Nestled in the heart of UNI's picturesque campus is the West Gymnasium - the current competition site for Panther wrestling. It previously was used for volleyball and women's basketball.
Built in 1925 for a mere $180,000, the West Gym is an intimidating place for opposing teams to compete. With an intimate seating capacity of 2,052, the West Gym not only fills up quickly - it gets very, very loud.
UNI's volleyball team posted two of the longest winning streaks in NCAA history there, a 50-match streak in the mid-1990s, and a 74-match streak from 1997-2004 that is the second longest ever in the nation.

Arbelle Jackson and Belinda Jackson welcomed family, friends and the community to tour their new home Monday morning.
The home was built through the City of Jacksonville's housing rehabilitation program, which allows area homeowners or occupants to request a loan for repairs, according to Community Development Director Lillie Gray.
For the Jackson sisters, it was more cost-effective to demolish their two homes, only one of which they were living in, and build one new home on the property at 140 Newberry St. in downtown Jacksonville, Gray said.
Arbelle Jackson, 54, said that the sisters attended a meeting regarding downtown revitalization in 2012 and, after talking to her brother, she filled out the application to repair their homes.
"My application got approved and we went from there," she said before the welcoming ceremony, during which the sisters received a holiday wreath from Jacksonville Mayor Sammy Phillips.
The sisters previously lived in separate two-bedroom houses, and Arbelle said hers was not up-to-date but "it was liveable."
Belinda Jackson, 58, moved in with her younger sister about seven years ago when her house needed roof and kitchen repairs. They've been together ever since.
"If this don't bring us closer, nothing will bring us closer," the elder sister said with a laugh before the ceremony.
Arbelle Jackson said that the new three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is "lovely."
"I couldn't ask for a better home. I thank the Lord for it, it's so cozy in there," she said.
The sisters moved in to the new house on the street they've lived on all Arbelle's life Wednesday, and Arbelle made her first meal in her new kitchen Saturday.
"I cooked baked chicken, mixed vegetables, rice and gravy, and stewed potatoes," she said with a smile.
Belinda Jackson couldn't narrow down her favorite part of the house to just one thing.
"It's a new house, it's a new home," she said.
Belinda Jackson said that she would recommend the housing rehabilitation program to other area citizens in need of assistance repairing their home.
"They helped us. There was some trial and tribulations but the sky blew over," she said, explaining that the hardest part was getting the paperwork together.
Phillips said that recent "revitalization efforts are making a difference" while helping families, including the Jacksons, have a "decent, safe and affordable home to live in."
The comment was met with a series of "Hallelujahs" from the home's porch, where the Jackson family gathered for the ribbon cutting and the presentation of the wreath.
Danny Whaley, president of Quadrant Construction, told the gathered crowd, which included students from Thompson Early Childhood Center where Arbelle Jackson is a custodian, that each of the 3,000 homes he's built has been different.
"This family appreciates the home. I had fun building this home and I hope they enjoy it for many years to come," he said.
Whaley told The Daily News that meeting the people who will be living in the house is the best part of building homes. The Jacksons, he said, were especially nice to work with.
While most walk-throughs include two to three people, the Jacksons' walk through had about 10, he said.
"They're proud of it, that's what makes it fun," he said.
Gray said that the sisters' loan was for about $101,000 with $60,000 being paid back. The remaining $41,000 is a deferred, forgivable grant, she said.
She said that those interested in the program, who must meet HUD income guidelines, would submit an application, and then city officials look at their ability to repay the loan and whether or not the project can be completed within the budget.

A More Meaningful Life: Jodi van den Hoogenhoff Honors Family's Memory through Healthy Living
"Life is an experience. We only have one shot at it, and anything is possible."
These are the words of MonaVie distributor Jodi van den Hoogenhoff. If anyone understands the precious value of fleeting life, it's Jodi. Nearly two decades ago, she lost her sister (and best friend) to breast cancer a mere 15 months following her diagnosis. Ten years later, breast cancer claimed her mother's life as well. In August 2011, her father passed away after a bout with throat cancer; and, three weeks later, another of Jodi's sisters succumbed to her battle with diabetes. Four weeks after laying her sister to rest, Jodi's last remaining sister was diagnosed with fourth-stage ovarian and stomach cancer.
When her first sister died at the young age of 32, Jodi decided to make a change in her life. Passionate about being active and healthy since she was a young girl, Jodi grew up playing basketball, softball, running track, and cheerleading. In high school, she would have to abandon her active lifestyle for the workforce. She held several jobs working at fast food restaurants while going to school, which gave her little or no time to continue her passion of staying physically fit. When she was 19 years old, she had her first child and became a stay-at-home mom.
"I found myself living life like most people do—having no energy, gaining weight, and just not feeling good," Jodi says.
When the time was right, Jodi went back to work. A friend suggested that she work at an all-women's health club, and it was there that Jodi regained her enthusiasm for fitness.
"I ended up managing those clubs for many years," she says. "I changed my eating habits and lifestyle and never looked back. I started working out five to six days a week, stopped eating red meat, and ate a lot of greens."
As her love for the gym grew, so did her knowledge of living healthily. She became moved to start making a difference in the lives of women as well.
"My determination to not get sick has allowed me to find solutions to fight those issues for me and others," Jodi says. "I want to help others reach their goals and educate them on how to make healthy changes. My goal is to inspire people to improve through nutrition and exercise."
Her motivation, commitment, and belief have driven her to where she is today, which is a physical specimen to behold by any standard. Even at her current physique, Jodi remains on the lookout for ways to bring even greater nutrition into her life. Enter MonaVie RVL.
MonaVie RVL had been in Jodi's pantry for months before she decided to give it a try. Her husband had been enjoying the products, but Jodi was reluctant since she had never incorporated a meal replacement or dietary supplements into her regimen. She figured that her protein shakes, daily exercise, and healthy eating habits were getting the job done well enough. That view would soon change.
"When I saw the incredible weight loss my friend experienced with RVL, my eyes were wide open," Jodi says. "I wanted to lose an extra five pounds in my waist and hips. Being a woman in my 40s, it seemed a bit more difficult to lose that last bit of weight. I decided to try RVL, and every bit of excess lumps, bumps, and fat in my waist area was completely gone. I never changed my exercise routine; the results were strictly from RVL!"
Jodi says now she is in love with the product and consumes the shakes, dietary supplements, and snack bars every day. The excitement it's brought to her business is an added bonus, as she believes MonaVie RVL will help build her organization while blessing the lives of those who use the product. As for her own life, Jodi says the journey to here has taught her so much and has brought about an enormous amount of personal growth.
"The spiritual and emotional journey I have experienced has been incredible," Jodi says. "I've realized that doubting yourself and having no confidence can be gone forever through commitment and belief, and I will not waste another minute doubting myself. I will continue to live my life doing what I am so passionate about."
After all, life is an experience that we only have one shot at.
Jodi's MonaVie RVL Routine
Jodi says she feels leaner, tighter, and healthier on MonaVie RVL. She loves that it's quick and easy and that she doesn't have to worry about what healthy lunch she'll have on a given day; but, most importantly, it keeps her satisfied and gets results. And, that's why she'll continue sharing it with others. In addition to drinking at least one gallon of water a day, here's what Jodi's daily routine looks like:
7 a.m.
4 ounces of MonaVie (M)mūn
Bowl of granola cereal with a scoop of protein, mixed with water
8:30 a.m.
30 minutes of cardio at the gym
1–1½ hours of weight training

11 a.m.
RVL Snack Bar
2 RVL Dietary Supplements
1:30 p.m.
RVL Shake
30 minutes of cardio at home

How to Rid the World of Nuclear Weapons
by David Cortright | May 2010
... and make us all more secure. A pragmatic approach to nuclear disarmament.
As the nations of the world review the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in May at the United Nations, they gather at a time of unprecedented hope for genuine progress toward disarmament. The new receptivity to nuclear abolition is reflected in the "New START" treaty between the United States and Russia, and was sparked by private initiatives led by former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz and other senior security experts and officials in many countries.
Related Reading
The defenders of continued nuclear deterrence dismiss disarmament as a practical impossibility. You cannot "uninvent" the bomb, we are told, and to think otherwise is folly. The point is correct of course, but this does not mean that the elimination of nuclear weapons is impossible or impractical. The realization that nuclear capability will never disappear is not an obstacle to achieving disarmament, but a foundation upon which to build a realistic and secure strategy for eliminating these weapons. The knowledge of nuclear capability can serve as a kind of weaponless deterrent, along with shared missile defenses and cooperative conventional defenses, to protect against nuclear cheating. These realities will serve to remind potential aggressors that an attempt to command a nuclear monopoly is bound to fail.
The process of nuclear disarmament is not without risks. As nations reduce the number of weapons, the value of remaining weapons rises. This may increase the temptation to seek an advantage through nuclear breakout. Historical experience shows, however, that states can maintain relatively stable deterrence relations at minimum force levels. China has managed to maintain its nuclear deterrent with relatively low numbers, even in a very asymmetrical relationship vis-à-vis the huge arsenals of Russia and the United States. Russia today has a very large numerical superiority over the United States and NATO in short-range nuclear weapons, but this disparity does not confer any strategic advantages on Russia. India and Pakistan are in a conflict-prone relationship and possess relatively low numbers, and yet are assumed to be in a mutual deterrent posture. Arms control measures and enhanced transparency procedures can be developed to augment stability.

CHERRYVILLE — Noticing that Chase approached triple figures in the semifinals of the Bud Black/Dennis Tate Holiday Classic, Bessemer City coach Danny McDowell knew what his team needed to do in the championship: play some defense.
The players responded as Bessemer City held Chase to less than half of its semifinal total and won 64-43 on Saturday for its first championship in the annual event at Cherryville's Nixon Gym.
"Defense won this thing. Every day was defense," McDowell said. "Those guys scored 95 points or something like that last night and I knew we couldn't afford to give up 95 points or we'd lose. So we concentrated on the defensive end. I thought our guards did exceptionally well on those guards out front."
The Yellow Jackets' Brad James had 16 points and 16 rebounds and Michael Meeks scored 19 on their way to sharing most valuable player honors.
"Teamwork," Meeks said of the key to the championship victory. "We didn't hang our head after every missed play. We played as a team."
Bessemer City was playing in the tournament championship for the first time.
"The kids played well," McDowell said. "It means so much because the boys have never made it to the finals. To win it, that's a great accomplishment for the school, for the kids and everybody. I'm just tickled pink for these guys."
Bessemer City led 25-20 at the break and started pulling away in the third quarter, taking a 45-32 lead into the final period.
Ronnie Webber had 12 points and 10 rebounds while Tyrece Meeks dished eight assists for Bessemer City (8-1), which hasn't lost since its season opener.
In addition to the MVP award shared by Michael Meeks and James, Bessemer City placed Tyrece Meeks, Jha'Qui Adams, Trevon Oglesby and Webber on the all-tournament team.
"It's crazy. We haven't had anything like this in a long time," James said.
Bessemer City will host Davidson Community on Wednesday before turning its focus back to conference play. The Yellow Jackets travel to East Lincoln on Friday in a battle of teams that are 2-0 in the Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference.
Steven Holland scored 14 points and Shad Blanton added 10 points for Chase (8-4), which had advanced a night earlier with a 92-85 win over Cherryville.

The School for Scandal at Dordt College
September 30, 2013
The Dordt College theater arts department brings The School for Scandal to the stage on October 10, 11, 12, 17, and 19. Performances will be held at the TePaske Theatre located at the Sioux Center High School at 7:30 p.m. A matinee performance will be held on the 19th at 1 p.m.
The School for Scandal, by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, is a Restoration comedy that sheds light on the power of gossip in our lives. It raises questions about honesty, integrity, and who we are in community.
As was the style of Restoration plays of the 1700s, Dordt College will allow a number of audience members to sit on the stage during the production. Another tradition of the era was to hire people to sit in the audience and act as cheerleaders. Audience members will see Dordt's modern rendition of this idea as well. The performance promises to be a raucous theatrical experience.
Tickets are available at www.dordttickets.com or at the door for one hour before the performance.

The Acura RL was introduced in the 1996 model year.
Measures taken from the neck, chest, and left leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the B-pillar, indicating that injuries to the head would be possible. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar and shoulder belt upper anchorage.
