Glam and GloRead MoreCosmetologist Nicole loved the look of a natural tan, but wasn?t happy with the damage it could do to skin. Lucky for her, she discovered spray tanning and promptly opened Glam and Glo to provide the skin-safe bronzing service to others. She custom blends her organic solution, taking into consideration each client?s skin tone and envisioned shade of bronze. She then airbrushes the color on by hand to ensure even, full coverage regardless of clients? existing color or if they're still factory sealed in plastic packaging.15524 S Cicero Ave.Oak Forest, IL US
Ultimate Exposure Tanning CentersRead MoreInside Ultimate Exposure Tanning Centers' Chicagoland locations, a full lineup of UV- and spray-tanning equipment infuse skin with a healthy summer glow year-round. Individual sessions in the automated spray-tanning booths?such as VersaSpa?or UV beds gild bodysuits for nights on the town, and unlimited monthly packages fashion a continuous golden hue previously only available to sunbathing satellites. The salon stocks a variety of tan-accelerating lotions from Swedish Beauty, Australian Gold, and Designer Skin, which deepen bronze hues and moisturize skin to fashion a long-lasting radiance.17821 80th Ave.Tinley Park, IL US
L.A. Tan & Lavie MassageRead MoreSince opening in the early 1990s with just four stores, L.A. Tan has expanded into a national brand that counts more than 180 locations in six states. Members can tan at any location they wish, selecting from services that range from at least five levels of high-end UV beds to spray-tan booths from top brands such as Mystic Tan and VersaSpa. Anyone unsure of how to navigate all the options can seek advice from one of L.A. Tan's certified tanning professionals, who know each tanning bed on a first-name basis.

World TanningRead MoreWorld Tanning's beauty specialists can vouch for the services and products they provide. Before any lotion becomes available to clients, the tanning specialists test it out, evaluating fragrance, appearance, and flavor. If a lotion or oil makes the final cut, patrons can rest assured that it meets or exceeds industry standard. The same goes for World Tanning's lie-down and standup tanning beds, whose maximum tanning times range from 9 to 20 minutes, as well as the boutique's VersaSpa sunless tanning booths, which bronze clients to the shade of their choice in less than two minutes. A recent addition to World Tanning's service menu, an infrared sauna promotes metabolism as its warm light induces sweating or blinds deep-sea fish.14275 Wolf RdOrland Park, IL US

Full sets include range from 45 to 65 lashes per eye, fostering a sultry look for six to eight weeks without the mess of mascara.14475 John Humphrey Dr.Orland Park, IL US
Unlimited TanRead MoreSeven levels of UV beds populate the private tanning rooms of Unlimited Tan?s numerous Chicagoland locations and join forces with automated spray-tanning booths to forge a war against wintry pallor. Tanning equipment tiers build upon basic level lamps to include extras such as high-pressure bulbs, aromatherapy, and cooling mists designed to keep clients comfortable and make it easier to maintain their hue over time. For the UV averse, spray-tanning booths send automated jets of pigment misting over bodies in 60 seconds, with the full, streak-free results gradually developing across 24 hours, like a whirlwind romance between sloths. Each of the salons also stocks a full supply of lotions from brands such as Australian Gold, Designer Skin, and Swedish Beauty, which works to protect skin and enhance the life of any tan.9434 West 191st StreetMokena, IL US

Category: Navigating Name Problems and Disputes
Elaine, a young berry with what she feels to be an "old-lady name," prefers to go by the sprightlier nickname, "Laney." But she doesn't love Laney either and so poses her dilemma to her fellow berries. Can she learn to love her name? Or is it time to start over with something new? She writes:
"My name is Elaine. I'm 16 and have always hated it. I've gone by Laney for my entire life, but Elaine's still my name.
I want to love my name. Even from when I was little, I thought of Elaine as an old-lady name. I love that my name's uncommon(ish) and do like Laney, but it just makes me sad sometimes.
I come on your site daily to check out name reviews. Sounds crazy, since I'm only 16 and definitely not expecting anytime soon. One day I just hope I'll find some celebrity who named their child Elaine or maybe it somehow made a miraculous comeback. It frustrates me that my name won't sound fresh until the 2040s. By that time I'll be 45 years old!
Like I said, I want to love my name. I want advice more than 'it's your name: love it' or 'you go by Laney so it doesn't matter.' That's the advice given to me by other forums and friends who clearly don't have my problem with names like Hannah or Emily. I've felt this way for years. It's not just a stage. I don't know what to do!
Megan , who lives just outside Philadelphia, is expecting her first boy after two little girls in June. Her daughters both have family names, but now her husband, Thomas IV, would like to continue the tradition of naming the boys in his family Thomas, making their son Thomas V. Problem is, mom's not too keen.
Can you help her find a family name everyone will agree on? Or should she give in to hubby's desire for a V? She writes:
"We are expecting our third baby and first boy in June. It was easy to name our daughters – Aubryn Elizabeth (age 4) was named for my maternal grandmother and Margaret Jane (nn: Maisie, age 20 months) was named for my paternal grandmother and my mother.
Our Berry Question of the Week comes from Jen Barnes of Seattle, who's facing a common problem in Baby Name Land: She and her husband are having trouble agreeing on a name for their second daughter. Here, the names he likes and those that she likes. Your job, dear berries, is to help them find a name they both will love. Jen writes:
Please help us name baby #2! Our 2nd baby girl is arriving in 4 short weeks and she has no name! Our 18-month-old daughter, Rose Katherine, was named the second we found out that she was a girl! Every time I think I have some names narrowed down, I add one to the list. My husband has been no help in this process either — ha. Here are the names he likes:
Shayla- he used to live in a city (spelled Xela) in Guatemala with this name and it is very dear to his heart but I am just not feeling it.
I love the name Nora but I fear that it is becoming too popular. What do you think?
Here are my favorite names currently:
Beyonce and Jay-Z took unique celebrity baby naming one step further last week when they moved to trademark infant daughter Blue Ivy Carter's name. Parents have a right to trademark their minor children's names, according to U.S. law, but the name has to be both distinctive and connected to some expectation of commercial enterprise.
If Beyonce and Jay-Z had named their daughter Jennifer, say, she'd be one of nearly 2000 Jennifer Carters in the U.S. and it would be difficult to prove that someone selling Jennifer Carter crib bumpers was trying to trade on the name of their little Jennifer Carter. But when other entrepreneurs rushed to trademark the name Blue Ivy, Beyonce and Jay-Z made a preemptive move to protect their daughter's unusual moniker from outside exploitation.
We can only guess that trademarking the name Blue Ivy will have repercussions among other celebrity parents. We foresee more celebrities choosing ever more distinctive names for their children, to strengthen their case for trademark protection. And we predict that they will then claim exclusive legal rights to those baby names.
Ohio mom of two Kristen Hunger had an easy — make that ecstatic — experience naming her first two children, Colette and Weston, pictured above. But this time around? She can't find a single name she loves….and she's afraid she knows why.
It was bound to happen. After two pregnancies during which I fell madly, unwaveringly in love with two names, I find myself pregnant again. Except this time I've come down with a severe and I fear terminal case of Baby Name Desensitization Disorder.
What exactly is BNDD? It is when you not only feel unexcited by any and every name, but you also feel apathetic and numb to the whole naming process! The disorder is aggravated by my background as a nanny, childcare employee, Sunday school teacher and nursery coordinator at our church. I have heard every name and know someone – or know someone who knows someone – who's used it. No matter what I do, I can't find a name that excites me the way my daughter's "Colette" or my son's "Weston" did.
When I discovered their names, I was instantly ready to get everything monogrammed. I didn't even look at other names or ask random people their opinions! It was so easy to envision Colette and Weston as spirited youths growing into successful and thriving adults. Holding steady jobs and contributing to society.

UPDATE: Pakistan: Mukhtar Mai's case adjourned for third time in a month
With clear evidence of political interference in Ms Mai's case it is uncertain when her case will be heard again, and her legal team are only advised in the last minute by the judiciary. Please see the letter of thanks for the support Ms Mai and her family have received:
UPDATE: Pakistan: Grave doubts over independence of judiciary in Mukhtar Mai case
Mukhtar Mai's case has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 at the Supreme Court of Pakistan at Islamabad. Ms Mai was just informed by the office of her council Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan. This is an astonishing move. Since 2005, Mukhtar Mai's case was pending before the Supreme Court without any hearings being scheduled. There continues to be political influence in this case and regular serious threats to her life and the lives of family members in an attempt to pressure her to drop the charges against her perpetrators.
India: Violent attacks and cases of moral policing in Karnataka
Over the last two weeks, several women have been violently attacked in Bangalore for wearing jeans, going out in the street, and resisting 'moral policing'.
UPDATE: Pakistan: Supreme Court adjourns hearing of Mukhtar Mai's case indefinitely
Mukhtar Mai's counsel, Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, had moved an application for adjournment, which was considered the best course of action in the current circumstances. With no right to a further appeal, Mai's rapists will stay in jail. However, the threat to the safety of Mukhtar Mai, and her family, from those implicated in the interference in her case remains.
Pakistan: Interference in the case of Mukhtar Mai
The Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) international solidarity network is deeply concerned by the fact that a sitting Federal Minister, Mr. Qayyum Jatoi, has pressured Mukhtar Mai, the well-known women's human rights defender, to drop charges against the accused in her case.
UPDATE: Nepal: Women human rights defender murdered
The following is an update on the situation in the Kanchanpur district of Nepal where women human rights defender Laxmi Bohara was murdered by her husband and mother-in-law. Further women activists are now being threatened and attacked.
Nepal: Women human rights defender murdered
The National Alliance of Women Human Rights Defenders (NAWHRDs) requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in Nepal. NAWHRDs is shocked and appalled about death of Ms. Laxmi Bohara, 28, a member of Women Human Rights Defender Network, Kanchanpur and a resident of Champapur, Ward No. 8, Daji Village Development Committee in Kanchanpur district. She was severely beaten and physically injured by her husband and mother-in-law and later died in the zone hospital.
UPDATE: Pakistan: Protest against the state of emergency in Pakistan and brutal attacks on civil society
"General Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan on Saturday November 3, 2007 and imposed the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) that suspends the Constitution and the fundamental rights of citizens, gags the media and forbids any form of dissent. This has drastically upset the already frail political setup prevalent in the country.
UPDATE: Pakistan: Letter to UN Special Rapporteurs Urging Action Against Martial Law
WLUML's letter to UN Special Rapporteurs and UN Human Rights Bodies expresses our alarm and grave concern regarding the mass arrests, ill-treatment and flagrant violations of the human rights of members of the judiciary, the legal profession and civil society that is currently taking place in Pakistan. We urge them to appeal to General Musharraf to restore the constitution, the judiciary, the media, and to end all arrests and violence against peaceful protests.
Pakistan: Imposition of Martial Law - Arrests and detention of civilian activists and lawyers

UK Conference to Address Mental, Behavioral Health Issues in Military
LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 5, 2015) — "It's critically important that professionals who work with military and veteran populations understand the military as a unique culture, with its own rules and rituals, but most importantly its own value system," said Chris Flaherty, associate professor in the UK College of Social Work.
Flaherty worked for 20 years in U.S. Air Force mental health and social services systems, and is currently preparing, along with others, for a one-day conference Friday, May 8, that will help mental and behavioral health professionals better serve their military clients.
Hosted by the UK College of Social Work in partnership with the UK Department of Family Sciences in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Veterans Resource Center and the Lexington VA Medical Center, the "Contemporary Perspectives on Treating Veterans, Military Members, and their Families" conference will be held from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Campbell House, located at 1375 South Broadway in Lexington.
The conference will cover state of the art and best practices for supporting veterans, military members and military families. Attendees will hear from Col. Jennifer Humphries, director of the Army-Fayetteville State University Master of Social Work Program and a leading expert in military behavioral health, on current trends in military social work.
Following her plenary speech, breakout sessions will address topics such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), military sexual trauma, suicide, supporting military families, military cultural competence, student veterans and more.
Recent research findings on veterans' exposure to suicide will also be presented by Julie Cerel, UK College of Social Work associate professor, licensed psychologist and president-elect of the American Association of Suicidology.
Her research shows that almost half of veterans have lifetime exposure to suicide. The study also found that if a veteran was exposed to a suicide first and was later exposed to a traumatic death in their military career, such as someone dying in combat, the veteran had a worse reaction than if the sequence was reversed. Cerel will explain these and other significant findings at the conference.
The cost to attend is $120 until May 7. On the day of the conference, May 8, the cost will be $160. The price includes six hours of continuing education credits, as well as lunch.
Continuing education credits for the conference are approved by the Kentucky Board of Social Work; the Kentucky Board of Psychological Examiners; the Kentucky Board of Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors; the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board; and the Kentucky Board of Nursing.
"With the daunting challenges facing our veterans, service members, and military families, and the demands recent and ongoing military operations are placing on military, as well as community-based behavioral health care systems, it is imperative that providers are trained in assessment and treatment models proven to be effective with this population," Flaherty said.

UK College of Social Work Inducting Two New Members Into Hall of Fame
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 29, 2015) — Recognizing the distinguished accomplishments of University of Kentucky College of Social Work alumni who have made exceptional contributions to the field, the college will induct two honorees into its Hall of Fame at a ceremony this evening, April 29.
The UK College of Social Work has been inducting members into its Hall of Fame annually since 1999. These individuals are deemed outstanding in the profession by their colleagues and are chosen by a committee of their peers.
This year, Dorothy Conolia Offutt and Eileen A. Recktenwald will be inducted.
Dorothy Conolia Offutt
Dorothy Conolia Offutt was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, and raised in Central City. She received her bachelor's degree in health and physical education and a master's degree in education from Western Kentucky University, and her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky. She is currently employed as social work supervisor at the Lexington Veteran's Administration Medical Center where she serves as the social work education coordinator and works with multiple universities to secure master-level social work interns.
The medical center went from zero stipend interns to 13 for the academic year 2015-2016, which is 20 percent of all VA interns in the nation. To evince her love for the profession and the community, Offutt provides countless hours of service both professionally and civically. An article was published in Synergy, the national VA social work newsletter, and the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. newsletter, which referenced her numerous accomplishments including receiving the Lyman T. Johnson Torch of Excellence award from UK. She has also served as director of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, which provides Fayette and Jessamine counties with over 300,000 hours of service annually. Offutt and her husband of 44 years, Don Carlos Offutt, have two children; a daughter, Dawn, a son Don II and one grandson, Donovan.
Eileen A. Recktenwald
Eileen A. Recktenwald has been the executive director of the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs (KASAP), the statewide coalition of the 13 regional rape crisis centers, located in Kentucky's capital, Frankfort, since 2001. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland and the University of Kentucky, where she earned her Master of Social Work degree.
Recktenwald was the first KASAP director and provided direct advocacy services at a domestic violence shelter located in the Appalachian region of Kentucky for five years. She also directed and provided advocacy services to child sexual assault victims at a rape crisis center for 11 years. For the last 10 years, Recktenwald has been focused on the primary prevention of sexual violence and changing the social norms that encourage interpersonal violence.

UK's Cerel Debunks Common Statistic at National Suicidology Conference
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 24, 2015) — Since the 1960s, the number six has been commonly used to describe how many people are left behind after each death by suicide. Last week, Julie Cerel, licensed psychologist and associate professor in the University of Kentucky College of Social Work, debunked that statistic, leading to a trending topic on Twitter featuring the "#not6" hashtag.
"The number six is not based on evidence but is a best guess that has been widely promulgated," Cerel said, adding further, "it is just not true."
In her plenary presentation at the 48th Annual American Association of Suicidology Conference, of which she is now president-elect, Cerel presented her team's results from Military Suicide Research Consortium-funded data that calculated a different number.
They found that 115 people were exposed to each suicide, of whom 25 were deeply impacted and "probably in need of services."
"That's a lot more than six, hence the #not6," Cerel said.
The audience took to Twitter with photos and facts from her presentation, along with the hashtag. To view the many #not6 tweets, visit the Storify curation, a list of tweets featuring the hashtag: https://storify.com/SPSMChat/we-are-all-connected-in-suicidology-cerel-aas15-no-1.
In addition to her successful plenary, Cerel was involved in three presentations and five posters. One of those posters, first-authored by Judy van de Venne, a former UK College of Social Work post-doctoral researcher, won the Professional Poster Award.
Laura Frey, a student of Cerel's, who recently defended her dissertation in family science and will join the University of Louisville College of Social Work as a faculty member next fall, also gave an invited paper presentation as part of winning the annual Morton M. Silverman Student Award.

Doctoral Candidate Wins Award for Paper on UK Prison Exchange Course
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 16, 2015) — Molly Malany Sayre, a doctoral candidate in the University of Kentucky College of Social Work, has been awarded the 2015 Teaching Social Problems Paper Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP).
Sayre, of Cincinnati, Ohio, received the award for her paper focusing on an Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program course at UK, which comprises UK students, or "outside" students, and incarcerated individuals in the Blackburn Correctional Complex in Lexington, or "inside" students.
Sayre was a teaching assistant for Professor Michelle Staton-Tindall's Fall 2014 class. Offered by the College of Social Work, the UK course examined the use and abuse of substances and their relationship to crime through the analysis of sociological and clinical social work theories.
In her paper, Sayre explores the implications of the Inside-Out course for outside students' reification and recognition of people who are incarcerated, and by extension, members of groups that typically receive social work services.
The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program was developed in 1997 at Temple University and founded on the premise that incarcerated individuals and college students had a significant amount to learn from each other when studying together as peers in the same environment. The program is currently successfully operating in more than 300 prison institutions and college/university programs worldwide.
Sayre will receive a cash award of $100, a certificate of recognition, a one year membership to SSSP, and will present her paper at the 2015 SSSP Annual Meeting in August.

Eliminating the Stigma: Suicide Attempt Survivor Sharing Her Story at UK
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 10, 2015) — "Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., and it's on the rise. And here we are, afraid of it. I'm convinced that the simple act of getting people to talk about it will save lives. It's a serious public health issue, and one we can do something about if we can just set our fears aside," writes Dese'Rae L. Stage on her website, www.livethroughthis.org.
Stage — photographer, writer, suicide awareness advocate and suicide attempt survivor — will speak about her public awareness project, Live Through This, and her own experience as a suicide attempt survivor at the University of Kentucky Thursday, March 12.
The event is free and open to the public, and will be from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Hardymon Theater at the Davis Marksbury Building, located off Rose Street.
Live Through This, a collection of portraits and stories of suicide attempt survivors, is a public awareness project created by Stage that encourages survivors to own their experiences publicly, aiming to reduce the silence, shame and stigma associated with suicide attempts.
Sponsored by several UK colleges and departments, including the Department of Family Sciences, School of Human Environmental Sciences, and Family and Consumer Sciences Extension in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, as well as the UK Counseling Center, Department of Psychology and UK College of Social Work, the event aims to encourage open dialogue about suicide.
"It is incredibly important to hear the voices of people who have attempted suicide and survived in order to better understand how to prevent future suicides," said Julie Cerel, associate professor in the UK College of Social Work, licensed psychologist and board chair of the American Association of Suicidology.
Laura Frey, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Family Sciences, initiated the event in relation to her current research on suicide attempt disclosure on college campuses. Frey was awarded an Active Minds Emerging Scholars Fellowship to analyze interviews with suicide attempt survivors about their experiences with suicide disclosure. From her findings, Frey will develop a model that provides information regarding factors that could increase the likelihood for disclosure and the factors that can foster a safe environment to facilitate continued disclosure in the future.
"Suicide stigma prevents us from seeing the human experiences behind each attempt and makes us think that talking about suicide has to be scary," said Frey. "Dese'Rae's work advocating for attempt survivors allows us to learn from real people with real stories, reinforcing the idea that talking about suicide can actually empower and initiate positive change."
Stage and her project Live Through This have been nationally recognized by media and suicide prevention groups, and as of February 2015, she has photographed 115 suicide attempt survivors in 13 U.S. cities.
In addition to her perspective as a suicide attempt survivor, Stage is also trained in suicide prevention. She graduated with a bachelor's in psychology from East Tennessee State University in 2005 and is QPR Gatekeeper trained, which includes how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Stage is also an ASIST-trained caregiver. ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) teaches effective intervention skills while helping to build suicide prevention networks in the community.
Mary Chandler Bolin, director of the UK Counseling Center, is also QPR certified, as a senior master trainer, and instructs the training at UK.
"In the U.S., there is still tremendous stigma around mental health concerns broadly and related to suicide specifically — which silences suicide attempters and those with the potential to intervene," Bolin said.

College of Social Work Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series to Feature Human Trafficking Expert
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 24, 2015) — As part of the University of Kentucky College of Social Work's Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series, Noël Bridget Busch-Armendariz, director of the Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA) at the University of Texas at Austin, will be on campus discussing human trafficking in the United States on Feb. 27.
Busch-Armendariz will deliver her talk on current and key issues related to the trafficking of adults and children in the United States from 10 to 11:30 a.m., Friday, Feb. 27, in the President's Room at the Singletary Center for the Arts. The event is free and open to the public.
"Human trafficking is an ongoing and growing international and domestic phenomenon involving the enslavement, fraud and coercion of adults and children alike. It is a demoralizing and devastating violation of human rights for victims and survivors who have endured the abuses and cruelty involved in this ongoing global and domestic market," said Amanda West, assistant professor in the College of Social Work and a licensed clinical social worker. "Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that this area be discussed, and that we educate ourselves and our community on its impact on all levels."
The professor and associate dean of research at the School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin has been working within the area of human trafficking for over a decade, and has more than 20 years of experience working to end interpersonal violence. She has authored a number of scholarly publications on the topic, currently writing a textbook on human trafficking, and recently received a $500,000 grant to map the trafficking of domestic minors in the state of Texas.
A licensed social worker and editor-in-chief of Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work, Busch-Armendariz is regularly called as an expert witness in criminal, civil and immigration cases. She has also directed research totaling more than $5.3 million dollars in external funding for the National Institute of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime, Office on Violence Against Women, Office of the Attorney General of Texas, Texas Association Against Sexual Assault, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
"We are fortunate to have the prolific scholar Dr. Busch-Armendariz visit our campus. I highly encourage the UK and Lexington community to attend and weigh in on this timely topic," said Ike Adams, College of Social Work dean and Dorothy A. Miller Professor in Social Work Education.

Column: Acquisition workforce strategy is the answer to DoD's problems
Retired Maj. Gen. Arnold Punaro, a member of the Defense Business Board, said the decimation of contracting officers, program managers and others have put the military at a disadvantage in spending hundreds of billions of dollars. He said the answer to their problem is simple but hard to implement: a comprehensive plan to improve the acquisition workforce.

Lieberman, Collins warn against slashing acquisition workforce
The two influential senators say the mistakes the Defense Department and others made in the 1990s during the last serious budget reductions can't be repeated this time around. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) said budget cuts shouldn't be balanced on the backs of the acquisition workforce. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) added reductions in acquisition staff mean the government will pay more for goods and services.

Ted Cruz clinched the Republican nomination in the Texas Senate runoff race Tuesday night, handing the tea party a major victory and instantly becoming the odds-on favorite to win the open seat this fall.
Cruz, a Cuban-American lawyer who formerly served as state solicitor general, received 54 percent to 46 percent for Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst with 20 percent of precincts reporting.
"This has been a hard-fought and spirited primary battle and the people of Texas would have been fortunate to have any one of these well-qualified candidates as their next U.S. Senator. But I could not be more pleased with the nomination of Ted Cruz and I offer my warmest congratulations to Ted, his wife Heidi and their two daughters," National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn, a fellow Texan, said in a statement. "He and his team ran a remarkable race and this is a well-deserved and well-earned victory."
Dewhurst, who was backed by Gov. Rick Perry, easily dominated the nine-candidate May 29 primary with 44 percent of the vote. But Dewhurst failed to receive the majority required to avoid a runoff against second-place finisher Cruz. Due to significant tea party support and grassroots exposure, Cruz was able to remain competitive against Dewhurst, who remained well-funded and well-connected. By the time of Tuesday's election, Cruz had become widely regarded as the runoff frontrunner.
Cruz' victory is a major coup for the tea party, which had made this high-profile race a top target as it seeks to prove its continued electoral influence. Cruz drew support from Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Ron and Rand Paul, FreedomWorks, the Tea Party Express and many other groups and politicians for his underdog bid.
"Ted Cruz is a champion of economic freedom and we look forward to seeing him fight for America in the Senate ," Club for Growth president Chris Chocola said in a statement following Cruz' win. "Ted Cruz won because he clearly articulated the pro-growth message that Republican voters across the country have responded to. Tonight, Texas Republicans have shown Washington that the people do not work for the politicians — the politicians work for the people."
His win not only reinvigorates the tea party movement, it sends immediate shockwaves through the Texas political establishment, which was firmly behind Dewhurst.
The tea party has scored major victories this cycle with the defeat of Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar, the victory of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker who faced a recall vote, as well as some contests that proved to be losses such as the Utah Senate primary.
Cruz this November will face former state Rep. Paul Sadler, who won the Democratic runoff Tuesday. The seat, currently held by retiring Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, is favored to remain in Republican hands.

Poor Amelie.
So you think Mary should have compromised her own best interests in case Amelie made an unexpected (and inexplicable) early decision to withdraw? We don't know where Mary stands in terms of recovery, she was just taking her time to ensure that the right decision was made. In fact, she could have left the decision even later if she thought she still had a slim chance of competing.
Any normal player would still take up that position, not much has changed in the last week. It's Amelie's own fault for acting irrationally out of spite and not being ranked high enough for a guaranteed position in the first place.

What's up with Minecraft before 1.7? Well, next week we're going to be seeing 1.6.6 release, which will be an update to address issues with the recently released patch 1.6. The following week Notch will be headed to the United States -- and Los Angeles in particular -- to spend some time at E3. We'll be there too, so hopefully we can pick his brain about 1.7.
Finally, a buzz kill for folks who enjoy rumors. Minecraft: Source is a false one.

Finally did it...
Well, I guess you could say that I reached my limit in regard to how long I could wait.After my 8 year old son told me that my ex-wife had left him alone in their home for an extended period of time (while she went to the store with my our daughter), I was furious. I waited until after I took them back (as I had them this past weekend) to call a relevant agency to ask for advice. They said that if I had the fact to back me up and if it was that big of a concern to me that I should confront her about it, so I did.This last revelation from my son makes a grand total of 8 definite facts that I have from over the past year which shows how my ex-wife is not behaving like a responsible mother.

Found this interesting :)
Well, I pick up my kids yesterday from their mom's house for their visit with me over Thanksgiving week, and not 2 minutes after I pick them up my daughter starts talking to me about her mom. As I don't like to talk about her, I normally just listen and talk when I need to, but we don't normally bring her up anyways so its normally not a big deal. So the first thing she says to me is this:"Dad, mom says that your not always right about things, but I think you are."And to that I ask, "Why do you think that?"And she says, "Because I love and care about you!"Mind you my daughter is 6 years old, so I don't always expect her answers to sound very logical from an adult level, but I still try to pr… [more]

On to new adventures
Well, things have been interesting since my last entry. For starters, I'm starting to register for college classes and if everything pans out the way it should I'll be leaving my current job to be a full time student. I don't have a declared major yet but I'm sure I'll decide on one as I go. I'm just thankful that my CCAF credits and my military experience will transfer so I won't need to take as many classes. I'm pretty nervous but I'm sure its unfounded and that I'll do just fine.In other news, I may have an admirer at church. Well that's what people I talk to think. It very well may be the case, so I'm going to try to make another attempt to talk to her. It's not easy as we don't have alo… [more]
