Judge bars MGA from making, selling Bratz dolls
MGA attorney Raoul Kennedy argued that Larson had the discretion to determine which dolls violated Mattel's copyright. Mattel's attorneys disagreed, saying the court does not have the authority to interpret the jury's findings after the fact.
Both sides had a lot riding on the judge's decision and had worried about the impact of any ruling during the holiday shopping season.
El Segundo-based Mattel has seen sales of Barbie – once a rite of passage for American girls – slide since the doe-eyed Bratz dolls first came on the scene. Domestic sales of Barbie were down 15 percent in 2007.
MGA is also in litigation with its insurers for nearly $63 million in legal fees spent during the battle with Mattel. It has also countersued Mattel, alleging the toy giant's popular MyScene dolls are a copy of the Bratz brand.

04.06.05 - By Christopher Dawson: Tonight we will be watching Ricky Hatton take on Kostya Tszyu for his IBF Junior Welterweight championship belt. Tszyu will be a heavy favorite by the odd's makers and the boxing experts. Most are predicting Hatton to lose, and lose big by knock out or stoppage on cuts. I am going with the under dog on this one, I'm picking Hatton to win.. It may be on points, or he may stop the great Aussie, but I believe that Kostya is ready to be taken and that it's time for a new face to take over the division that Tszyu has ruled for the better part of seven years.
Contrary to what some experts will say, I do not believe that Ricky has been brought a long too slowly, in fact judging by his performances against B level opposition, Ricky has proven that he can be a destructor. If he is just peaking at the exact time that he's been paired off with Tszyu, then Hatton's management team make look like literal geniuses by this time Sunday morning.
I'm not trashing Tszyu in any way. I've always like him, even after he lost to Vince Phillips. I also recognize that pound for pound, he may be the physically strongest fighter on the planet. He's a fitness buff, that likes to pump iron to make his strength even more potent. He has terrifically honed boxing skills steaming from a strong, lengthy amateur career. His left hook is sneaky, and potent. His right cross is deceptively fast and accurate like a laser. There is very well a possibility that I will be proven wrong and Kostya will catch Ricky clean and stop him, or open some cuts. If that happens, then it happens. This is a fight that could end in the favor of either man and still turn out to be fight of the year.
Maybe it could provide Kostya with the trilogy his career has thus far denied him. And so what if Hatton loses. What if he turns out to be a very talented good fighter that wins some and loses some, but only to elite fighters? What's wrong with that? Henry Cooper used to win some and lose some, so did Frank Bruno. Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank too. I'll tell you something else all of those men have in common, they always gave their very all in every fight they ever competed in.
That's my kind of boxer. That's what I like to know, that I can rely on my guy to always show up in shape and ready to lay it all on the line. You can't say that about every fighter. England's pugalistic history is stacked with the type, yet they have been unfairly labeled as a country full of "horizontal heavyweights" and "bleeders." England's fight fans should be proud tonight and cheer for Hatton as loud as their patriotic lungs can. I'm not from England, but I am a Hatton fan and I'm pulling for him in this, the fight of his life.
Ricky's fans, for their part, have every right to be proud of Hatton and his talents. Even if he loses tonight, I'm a Ricky Hatton fan, because he fights the style I feel the most connected with. The workman type, Blue Collar Worker, slugger that works the body, because he knows a good old school body attack can wear down even the most skilled of fighters, and allow a plodder to reign in and win a fight. In the style of Joe Frazier, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, Arturo Gatti or Jake Lamotta. My kind of fighter. It also happens to be the ballsiest way to fight a man. Ricky Hatton has heart. Hatton has tons of supporters, I suspect he may have more after this fight is over.
He places enormous pressure on himself to perform to the standard of the people that adore him. Unlike with a fighter such as Manny Pacquio, Ricky is able to use this energy to motivate him, and doesn't fold under the stress of the magnitude of the event. Hatton's a survivor. He tasted the canvas for the first time as a professional against Eamonn Magee. Hatton passed the test that every fighter should have to just before challenging for a world title. He faced adversity and he did not crumble under pressure.
He did not quit or doubt himself. He simply picked himself up, dusted himself off and went about dominating Magee. We always hold a prospect to the same pessimism in boxing. AYeah, he looks good, but has been in against anybody and got tagged? How did he react? We know that Hatton can be knocked down. We also know that Kostya can be knocked down too. Any man can be when hit hard enough with the right technique. It=s how the man reacts to that trauma that makes the boxer.
Youth will be heavily on Hatton's side. It's not only because of Ricky's chronological age, it is also greatly because of Tszyu's lengthy amateur background, and wear and tear over the years. He's only been in 32 professional fights, but he's been a pro for thirteen years. I smell and upset, because I think he can be taken. It's not as though it's unprecedented. Sure he looked great destroying Sharmba Mitchell, last November, but lets not forget the example we were taught by Felix Trinidad and Ronald AWinky@ Wright, only weeks ago. You can look great against the right, hand picked opponent, and then fall to pieces in your very next fight and suddenly look your age.
Trinidad and Kostya had both been on long absences from the sport. Felix because of retirement and Tszyu due to various injuries. Both were being doubted by knowledgeable fight followers because of the layoffs, and both looked great in their comeback fights. There is a possibility that Kostya suddenly looks old and Hatton, coming in to the fight in the best shape of his life, seizes the moment and starts a new age in junior welterweight boxing.
As I've said, I=m not backing down from taking the under dog. I'm with Hatton. I'm picking him to win, or to wear down Kostya and pull out a late round stoppage. Possibly behind on points at the time.

SAN ANTONIO -- The day starts at 4:45 a.m. with physical training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, where every new airman reports for eight and a half weeks of basic training.
Never before have the basics here demanded more scrutiny, in the wake of a sex scandal that rocked the foundation of this base and the culture of the Air Force nationwide.
Certainly I think our nation lost confidence in what we were doing here at Basic Military Training, said Col. Mark Camerer, commander of the 37th Training Wing.
Camerer is responsible for the training of roughly 70,000 recruits and technical training students annually. He arrived at Lackland in September, tasked to bring about the return here of Air Force core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do.
I see this as just a breakdown in discipline, in that we didn't self-police each other. Some individuals really put their personal needs, their personal desires and wants, and they put that above being a [non-commissioned officer] and our Air Force, Camerer said.
All told, 17 basic training instructors at Lackland have been convicted of misconduct with 63 recruits and technical training students during a 2-year stretch starting in 2009. The offenses range from unprofessional relationships to rape.
It was hard for me to believe given the responsibilities we're charged with, said Tech. Sgt. Luis Mercado, who has worked as a basic training instructor for the last three years of his 15-year career in the Air Force.
The position demands near around-the-clock interaction with recruits. Only about 20 percent of those recruits are women.
I feel more comfortable here than at some friends' homes sometimes, said Meghan Griswold, a 21-year-old trainee from Standish, Maine.
Griswold grew up in a military family. Her father served in the Army. Her stepfather and grandfather served in the Air Force.
At no point in my time here have I felt uncomfortable or wanted to stop or take back my choice of joining, she said.
KENS 5 talked to three female recruits during a recent visit to Lackland. Each one was just as upbeat as the other about the Air Force and the changes implemented in the wake of the sex scandal.
My recruiter told me a little bit about it, and I was a little shocked, but I knew the Air Force was going to take care of it, said Melissa Ruppert, a 24-year-old trainee from Mallard, Iowa, who wants to pursue an Air Force career as a military investigator.
It has been nine months since Maj. Gen. Margaret Woodward completed a sweeping investigation and recommended 46 items for action. The improvements include hotline phones in living quarters, additional surveillance cameras in living spaces and the expansion of the so-called wingman policy.
We're not allowed to go anywhere without another person, another female with us, Ruppert said.
But the most critical changes might be the least visible. Investigators determined basic training is highly vulnerable to abuse of power, and needed to be remedied by adding leadership to ensure less one-on-one interaction with recruits.
Additionally, the duty day for an instructor, which used to be as long as 16 hours for weeks on end, was cut in half. At the same time, the Air Force increased the number of females serving as basic training instructors.
No one is here to get anyone, said Sgt. Renee Cenov, who has been an instructor for roughly the last year. That's something that's probably a bad rumor. We're here to mentor them and create them into a great Airman, and that's what we're here for.
Despite that pronouncement, the highest levels of the US military acknowledge that the military at-large underscores a disturbing pattern of sexual assaults. On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel implemented immediate measured to combat sexual assaults among US troops.
A new pentagon report estimates that sexual assaults among troops jumped 35 percent in the last two years, from 19,300 in 2010 to 26,000 in 2012.

SACRAMENTO -- Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman today released specific details for his plan to trim nearly $1 billion from the state's proposed budget - an effort he said won't cut education or public safety programs.
The Irvine senator has led 15 Republicans in blocking the 2007-08 budget adopted last week by the Assembly and backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Republicans' plan restores the governor's proposed $300 million cut to welfare payments for children whose parents don't follow work requirements.
Higher education would also see one cut.
The plan was first released to other senators at a 9 a.m. session today. The Senate quickly adjourned so the plan could be studied by Democrats. It will reconvene again Thursday.
The budget battle has cast a spotlight on Ackerman, who barely survived a leadership fight within his own caucus last year.
The small cadre of conservatives feels abandoned by Republicans in the Assembly and is under fire from Democrats and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a fellow Republican. Yet the intense pressure, with the budget overdue nearly four weeks after the start of the new fiscal year, has seemed to solidify Ackerman's rebellious members.
Members are settling in for what could be a long budget battle.
"I suspect that some of the Senate Republicans may have seen the movie '300,"' said John Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College in Southern California. "They see themselves as the Spartans at Thermopolis. I think the conservatives in California see them as the last bastion against uncontrolled spending."
The Spartans died together in the end, but inspired further resistance.
So far, individual Republicans have resisted entreaties to cut a deal, even as Schwarzenegger and Democrats tried mightily to pick off the two Republican senators they need to meet the two-thirds majority needed to pass a budget.
Sen. Jim Battin of Palm Desert, who nearly unseated Ackerman in a leadership vote in December, said he has had overtures from Democrats and the Schwarzenegger administration.
"They want to divide our caucus," Battin said in a telephone interview. "I'm supporting Dick Ackerman on this."
Ackerman has led Senate Republicans since 2004, four years after he was elected to the Senate after serving four years in the Assembly and 12 on the Fullerton City Council. Barring a change in term limits, the Long Beach native will leave office after next year.
A lawyer by trade and an arbitrator by nature, the soft-spoken Ackerman, 64, has been known as a conciliator in legislative bargaining. That drew fire from challengers such as Battin, who had criticized Ackerman for bypassing Republicans to reach agreements with Democrats and the governor.

Maui Moving Companies Tips for Hiring a Mover
Without a doubt moving is one of the biggest hassles to undertake. Moving for Maui residents can seem like pulling teeth without a numbing agent. Packing and loading is tedious and hard work. Planning and executing a move will drain you emotionally and physically, that's why many local Maui residents rely on Maui moving companies to get the job done.
Relying on a moving company has many advantages over the DIY style of moving. This is especially true for a family or business. Having a professional moving company help with each moving task makes the job go faster and helps people and businesses get on with life. There is just one problem with hiring a moving company and that is determining which one to hire.
Maui, like any other place has numerous moving companies to choose from. This can make the task of hiring one almost as daunting as the job of moving. Though, if one follows a simple guideline and uses practical sense, hiring a moving company does not have to be a difficult task.
Maui Moving Companies Tip Get a List
The first step to take would be to gather a list of every prospective local moving company. Next it is time to narrow the list down. The way to do this is simple, yet it may take a bit of time and research. When attempting to narrow the list down movers need to pull up each company's website. Take a look at the appearance of it, make certain it looks professional and offers the information a mover will need to know.
Look for information such as the services that each of the Maui movers offer clients. See if they are a company that helps with all aspects of moving, such as packing, loading, unloading, as well as unpacking. This is important if the move needs to be completed upon a certain date. Movers that offer all of these services are also beneficial to people who are unable to take on certain tasks due to physical limitations or time limitations.
People who are disabled or are unable for some other reason to handle heavy lifting will definitely need a mover that offers help with each area of moving. Having Maui movers that help with each phase of moving is also of great value to a company. The sooner they are moved and unpacked, the sooner they can get on with business and get profits rolling in.
Beyond finding movers that help with each necessary phase, it is important to also check the company's background. This can be done in several ways. One way to discover a moving company's reputation is to do an online search. Some movers will have an area within their own website for customers to leave feedback and reviews. These reviews are crucial to determining if a company is trust worthy or not.
Though reviews can help with determining a company's overall reputation, reputations can also be checked out with companies that specialize in keeping track of who's who in business. Movers Maui residents find through printed and online ads are often listed with professional reputation management companies. If a company has a bad track record these business sites will show it all.
Knowing if a company is reputable is a vital determining factor in hiring a moving company. Nobody wants to hire a moving company that is off ill repute. To avoid this, make a list of things that are important to look for when it comes to a moving company's reputation and qualifications. One thing that should definitely be on this list is finding companies that only hire drug free employees with a clean background check.
By making sure that the chosen Maui movers have excellent personal records ensures both the safety of items being moved and prevents theft of these items. Companies that seem to not have many preferences when it comes to hiring employees should be avoided entirely. Checking out a company's qualifications is equally as important as making sure they have a good reputation.
To check out qualifications make sure the company is insured, and that each individual employee is insured as well. This is a very important thing to do, after all, if items are lost, stolen, or broken, they must be replaced. Asking to see proof of current insurance policies is in and of itself one of the most crucial aspects of checking out a company's qualifications. After seeing proof of insurance making sure the company is experienced is also important.
While every Maui moving company has to start somewhere, it is wise to only hire a company that has been established. However, when hiring new movers, Maui residents may just find a huge break in the cost of their move. If the company is insured and they offer a great price it would not hurt to be one of their first customers.
Another important thing to consider when shopping for a mover is the budget available for the move. Some companies charge more than others so doing a bit of shopping around could save a lot of money. One thing related to the available budget that often comes up is moving supplies. Boxes, tape, crates, furniture protection blankets, plastic wrapping, bubble wrap and other materials are all needed when moving.
Some moving companies offer these supplies to their clients as an act of courtesy, but the prices for these materials may be marked up. Knowing how much these items normally cost through a retailer is another way to save money on moving. Perhaps purchasing these items from a retailer may save a lot of money in the long run.
Maui Moving Companies Other Ways to Save
There are other ways to save money on moving, such as doing all of the packing and unpacking and only using the movers to load, transport, and unload items. Of course these things all depend upon available budget, and the ability to pack and unpack items. By keeping all of these things in mind when shopping for Maui Moving companies helps to ensure a better moving experience.

Broken Innocence - Letter 9 - KenyaDear Flame,
It makes things a lot easier with dad helping me out, but it's looking really rocky with my mother. I might end up having to take you up on your offer to move in after all. I think I'll miss our letters though though. <3
Of course I'll be at your graduation love. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Just to be sure I make it though, can I spend the night the night before? I'll come to your house right after school so mom can't stop me from coming. I know my dad will help me out in the matter.
You have such a way with words. I didn't think I could fall in love with you any more than I have already. You really have a way of sweeping me off my feet. (I'm sure you could do it literally too - I know I'm really small for a boy (and the doctor says I won't be growing anymore)).
The teacher almost caught me writing this letter to you. I quick slipped it under my notes. It would've been so embarrassing to read it ou
Broken Innocence - Letter 8 - KenyaDear Flame,
I think I'll be alright for now, dad told me he wouldn't tell my mom unless she asked. I don't want us to move too fast. I'm scared that if it does we might get bored or upset or .... I'm sorry I'm babbling in my letter again. I'll see how it plays out with my family tonight. I'll try talking to my mom before dinner, and go from there. I know my sister has been jealous that you and I have been hanging out so much lately, she keeps asking me about you. Half the time I don't know what to say.
So what do you plan on doing after you graduate? I mean it's only a few months away isn't it?
I... just wanted to say... um... I love you.
Broken Innocence - Letter 7 - KenyaDear Flame,
Our date last night was amazing. I can't believe you took me to The Old Library. That place was absolutely amazing. It was so classy. I'm really glad that I dressed up a bit, or I would've been so out of place. You really didn't have to pay for dinner though.
Flame, I'm really glad that you decided to date me, I had a great time last night. My heart is still fluttering from that kiss you gave me last night. I still just can't believe that I get to date you. This all feels like a pleasant dream. I feel almost silly writing this though, I'm acting like a girl it seems. I guess we know who wears the pants in this relationship huh?
I am a little worried about telling my parents that we're dating though. I think my dad might've seen our good-bye kiss, but I'm not sure. I haven't had the chance to talk to him about it because as soon as he was about to address me my sisters came down and demanded his attention. I don't think it
Broken Innocence - Letter 6 - KenyaFlame,
My address is on the back of the note, I'll be out front on the tire swing when you come by to pick me up. I'm glad that I can be there for you. I hope that this isn't too awkward, but would you like to... go on a date with me tonight? Maybe we could catch a movie, or go out to dinner? I'm sorry for being so forward. I just, like I said, I'm not sure how to act. You're going to have to help me out a little.
I mean you don't have to go out with me. I just, I want to know if this is something that could work, you know? It'd be my first relationship : ) I totally understand though if you don't want to, I know I'm really young, compared to you. I - god damn it - I'm really screwing this up aren't I?
Broken Innocence - Letter 5 - KenyaFlame,
It was great. I'm really glad that you like me.
Um, do you want company? I can come with you. I'm sure my parents wouldn't even notice that I'm missing. I really hope the implant works. Will it be genetically your brother's child, or are they having trouble even creating the sperm and egg to have a child? - Again, you don't have to answer. I'm sorry I'm prying again. I don't mean to be this curious.
Oh boy, I'm probably coming on too strong. I've never had a crush before. I really hope that you're patient with me. I'm hoping that I can get all of this straitened out in my head soon. I just feel so confused. I thought I had everything right in my mind and then we hung out. I just can't get you off my mind. I'm really sorry. I just don't know how to act around you.
I, um, I passed the test I told you I took yesterday. I even got all of the extra credit.
Broken Innocence - Letter 3 - KenyaDear Flame,
Wow, you really are a lot older than me. I'm - wow maybe this is a bad idea, I really don't want to get you in trouble because I'm interested in you. Like I said though, I think I do have a crush on you, you're so sweet and caring.
Five year's age difference. At least you're the younger brother, it's really difficult for the older children to deal with that kind of age difference. I hope you were nice to your brother, I know my younger sisters a total brats to me. I don't know if Alisa told you or not, but we're a family of seven. Alisa and I are the oldest, then there's a five year gap, and then five siblings. There are the triplets who are turning seven, then the other younger sister is nine.
My parents tried to teach me that you had to marry someone to have children first. They're trying to set me up with an Asian girl in my class. I've heard marriage discussed with her parents a few times, but we both have other interests.
Broken Innocence - Letter 2 - KenyaDear Flame,
Wow, a surrogate, that's honorable. I'm really glad that you came to the party, we should hang out sometime. We have to be careful of my sister though. I don't know how she'll feel about us hanging out together. She has a crush on you too. I know Alisa is going to be really mad at me for telling, but I just don't want to have to compete with her for your attention when we hang out.
I'm only two years younger, well three until next month. You're seventeen right? I'm going to be fifteen in exactly 27 days. I must sound like the dork now, only having my first kiss because I walked into the room when you were playing spin the bottle. I still can't believe it landed between those two girls and pointed right at me.
How old is your brother? I'm also a little confused as to why they're just dating. Don't they want to be married before they have children? I'm sorry if I'm imposing, you really don't have to answer my questions.

Chris Bosh steps up BIG in Game 3
"The Heat only have two great players, and they are not a real Big Three." These shots where fired at the Miami Heat's power forward Chris Bosh by Chicago Bulls' power forward Carlos Boozer before the Eastern Conference Finals began.
Well, Sunday night Chris Bosh proved Boozer wrong in leading the Miami Heat to a game three win. Bosh shot 72 percent from the field and 80 percent from the charity strike, equaling 34 points and adding 5 rebounds as well. Everything seemed to be working for Bosh Sunday night as he caught flame early in the game. James and Wade both said he was hot as they kept running plays and the offense through him. Bosh did not disappoint as he hit his sweet elbow jumper, as well as rolling to the basket off the pick and roll for a ferocious dunk and taking the ball to the basket, not shying away from contact.
Going through criticism virtually all season, being called "soft", "afraid of the moment", or "overrated", Bosh is proving all his critics wrong with two 30 plus games in this Eastern Conference Finals already. He seems to be doing all he needs to do in order to help his team win, whether it be scoring, rebounding, using his length and athleticism to annoy anyone who comes in the paint, and provide an emotional lift for the Miami Heat.
When asked about Bosh's big game three, LeBron James said, "You leave a guy like that alone. They say you always got to worry about the quiet guy, always."
Bosh sure wasn't silent Sunday night as it seemed Chicago had no answer for the "silent assassin." This is all of course fairly new territory for Bosh, only making the playoffs twice with the Toronto Raptors, both of which they never made it out of the first round. In only his third playoff appearance, coming with the Miami Heat, he is on the Eastern Conference Finals stage, doing big things and not getting lost in the moment.
LeBron James shows his TRUE dominance in Game 3
Getting a compliment from one of the best players ever, Ervin "Magic" Johnson, does not come often, but for LeBron James it is well deserved. Late Sunday night after the Miami Heat beat the Chicago Bulls, Magic Johnson tweeted, "The way @kingjames is starting to control the games, we are seeing why he is the most dominant player in the league and I love it."
Let me just run James' stat line by you real quick – 22 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 0 turnovers, flirting with a triple double. The stat the really stands out is the 10 assists and 0 turnovers because that really shows James' dominance and his ability to take over a game in a variety of ways. All game and especially late in on Sunday night, it was James taking the ball up the court or handling the ball in half court situations, dribbling off of pick and rolls, dishing to open players and creating for his teammates. James out-shined and had a much better game than a supposed point guard and MVP in Chicago's Derrick Rose.
Unlike in Cleveland where James always had to do nearly everything night in and night out to win, here in Miami it looks like he is extremely comfortable in his role. His unselfish nature calls for his game to be spread out and for him to be more of a playmaker, helping his team win in anyway that he can. His gift is impeccable and not many possess it, which is the ability to dominante on the court without even scoring many baskets, reasons why many compare James to Magic Johnson and even Oscar Robertson.
We are all "Witnesses" of his greatness as James likes to call it. Ever since his promise to never fail his team in late game situations following that fourth loss in a row to Chicago in March, James has been nearly perfect in late game situations, especially in the playoffs. Taking over when and where he needs to, spreading his athleticism and versatility all over the court. And like Chris Bosh, silencing some of his critics as well.

The Best Irons
Four models that will smooth out the creases and get you dressed for success.
For Every Day and for When You're on the Road
Best Overall
Rowenta Effective Cord Reel DX1900, $60 (shown, left)
This 1,500-watt model blew (all right, steamed) past the competition, leaving yards of smooth fabric in its wake. Taking just over a minute to heat to maximum temperature, the stainless-steel soleplate (the part of the iron that touches the fabric) eliminated wrinkles twice as quickly as other models. One reason: a feature that detects the amount of steam needed at any given temperature. The iron also offers self-cleaning and antidrip features. And it shuts off automatically after 30 seconds when horizontal, eight minutes when vertical.
To buy: amazon.com.
Best Travel Iron
Travel Smart, $42 (shown, right)
This is the little iron that could. Weighing in at just 1½ pounds, it's the lightest of the bunch and also the most efficient. Boasting two heating units (most other models had one) and 14 holes (concentrated in the top half of the soleplate), this 700-watt iron provides continuous steam. The temperature control is easy to read and adjust; a light on the side lets you know when the desired temperature has been reached. Another perk? The whole thing folds flat for compact storage in a travel pouch, allowing you to make room for that extra pair of kitten-heeled mules in your suitcase. Now, that's hot!

Young People Want 'Happily Ever After,' but Lack Skills to Make Marriage Work
"There is often a disconnect between attitudes about marriage and the reality of getting or being married," says
To better understand current attitudes about marriage, NHMRC conducted this quantitative survey of 3,600 young adults aged 18 to 30. Overall, the survey found that young adults aspire to be married and believe that a healthy marriage is within reach. And, the #1 reason to take the plunge is "love," (87 percent) followed closely by "lifelong commitment" (72 percent). Only 31% saw "having children" as a reason to get married.
Based on the findings from this nationally-representative survey, NHMRC is launching a public education campaign on marriage and created TwoOfUs.org, an interactive website, that provides people with direct access to relationship resources.
"We want to get people talking about the complexity of healthy marriages and provide tools and tips for making relationships work during challenging times," says Myrick. "We are targeting young adults because they are the group most likely to be considering marriage for the first time and are most likely to access an online resource like TwoOfUs.org."
Why does this matter? Research has shown that there are measurable benefits to adults and children who experience a healthy marriage, including better health, increased wealth/financial stability, and longer life expectancy.
"During these tough economic times, relationships can be severely impacted," says
Established in 2006, the National Healthy Marriage Resource Center is a clearinghouse that provides high quality, balanced, and timely information and resources on healthy marriage and relationships. NHMRC is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families. Visit www.TwoOfUs.org for more information.
NHMRC commissioned TRU, part of Research International, to conduct a quantitative segmentation study among young adults. The online questionnaires were completed, with equal numbers of respondents in three age cohorts: 18-22, 23-26, and 27-30. Each age group had a balanced number of men and women, with larger numbers of Hispanic and African Americans represented than in the general population.

New Saban Letter Touts His NFL Pros
You'd think that offering potential recruits a scholarship to a program that has won three out of the last four BCS national titles would be all the ammunition Alabama head coach Nick Saban and his staff would need on the recruiting trail.
But wait, there's more! In very colorful fashion, Saban and his staff have also been touting his ability to recruit and develop future NFL players.
Alabama's recent recruits have been receiving a letter containing a collage of the jerseys of all 111 players Saban has sent to the NFL since 1991 (following his lone season as the head coach at Toledo). It doesn't matter that today's recruits probably don't recognize the names (or jerseys) of the players at the top when they see the "33 players drafted in his 6 years at the University of Alabama" stat at the bottom.
"Stranglehold" seems like too weak a word to describe what Saban and Alabama have on the college football landscape right now…

Other WORKS AT AUCTION
Lot 11: Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899), Oil Study of the Montségur, c. 1850 Description: Oil on canvas France, around 1850 Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) - French painter Signed lower right 'Rosa Bonheur' Atmospheric mountain landscape study of the well-known animal painter Rosa Bonheur Beautiful wooden frame, partly leaf gilded Overall dimensions, framed: 44.5 x 58.5 cm Good condition Large-scale animal paintings by Rosa Bonheur fetch up to six-figure sums on the international art market; further attention is increasingly paid to her smaller landscape paintings and studies The present oil study was painted by the French artist Rosa Bonheur, possibly around 1850. It depicts the view of the Montségur, which is located in the eastern Pyrenees and preserves a medieval castle of the Cathars at the summit. Bonheur was a very successful animal painter in the 19th century and exhibited at the Paris Salon several times. In her later works she increasingly devoted herself to pure landscape painting; the present oil study is a beautiful example of her later interest. The painting is in good condition considering its age. It is signed lower right 'Rosa Bonheur' and with a seal 'VENTE 1900 ROSA BONHEUR' on the stretcher. The paint surface had recent intervention; traces of the old varnish have remained on the signature. There are a few scattered abrasions visible to the naked eye. Inspection under UV light reveals some areas of retouching, especially in the sky and on the edges, which have been covered with a circulating narrow strip of paper. The wooden frame is partly leaf gilded and only shows small traces of age and use. The framed work measures 44.5 x 58.5 cm and the size of the stretcher is 27.5 x 41 cm. Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) Rosa Bonheur was born in Bordeaux and represents one of the best animal painters of the 19th century. She received her artistic training from her father Raymond Bonheur (1796-1849), who was draftsman and landscape painter himself. Bonheur achieved the first successes with her depictions of cattle exhibited at the Paris Salon, in 1848/49. Only a few years later in 1853, she was acclaimed amongst the main artists of the Salon. Rosa Bonheur was a pioneer in her profession as a female painter and made her living from her artistic output. Her style is characterized by a bold realism and a great sense of well-observed nature. Amongst her major works, is to be stated the horse market, now exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The majority of her estate is preserved in the Musée de l'Atelier de Rosa Bonheur at the Château de By, close to Bordeaux.

Union hosted Pender in an intense conference game Friday night. The two teams faced off in a back and forth game, which led to a Spartan win, 45-43.
The Spartans jumped out with a quick lead in the first, scoring 12 points and holding the Patriots to only 8 points. They maintained this slight lead in the second, bringing the score to 22-17 at halftime. The battle really took off in the third quarter, with the Spartans scoring 11 to the Patriots' 9. At the start of the fourth, Union was still holding to their lead, 33-26. The only thing more intense than the game was the fans. While the boys faced off on the court, the cheerleaders and fans battled from the bleachers, making the gym deafeningly loud. With the sound of support from the crowd, both the Patriots and the Spartans battled hard in the fourth, and tied it up 41-41 with 4 minutes to go. The clock ran down, and both teams struggled finding the basket. With 16 seconds on the clock, the game was tied once again, 43-43. The Spartans were fouled, giving them the opportunity to seal the deal from the free throw line. That is exactly what they did, and left the rowdy gym with a win, 45-43.
Leading the scoring for Union was Brandon Lovette with 21 points. Assisting him in scoring was Dezmond Faison with 11 points, Jamar Newkirk with 6 points.
Spartan Head Coach Tim Pope said, "I want to congratulate Pender, they have a really athletic and outstanding team. They really got after us tonight defensively, but thankfully our guards, Brandon Lovette and Brandon Johnson, stepped up and answered the pressure by getting key turnovers. Brandon Lovette was big tonight, along with Dezmond Faison and Jamar Newkirk, at the free throw line. The gym and crowd were great tonight, they made it seem like an old time game. It was just great to get a win; the guys have really struggled this year, but they kept working and played really hard."
The Spartans will go toe to toe with the Bulldogs at Wallace Saturday for a conference make up game.

Ministry move part of budgetary allocation cuts
The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has deferred the proposal to convert Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) into an Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST).
The move comes close on the heels of a recent MHRD decision not to set up new central universities and IITs under the 12 Plan Period.
Reliable sources tracking the development told The Hindu on Monday that the UPA government's plan to introduce budgetary cuts in schemes proposed by various ministries especially aimed at rolling out its ambitious programmes like the food security law was also a major reason for putting on hold Cusat's upgradation proposal.
The Finance Ministry had asked various Ministries to prioritise its proposals considering the tough fiscal situation. The initial budgetary estimate for the IIEST plan was about Rs. 500 crore and the HRD ministry seems to be in no mood in implementing such schemes in the near future, sources said.
The HRD Minister M. M. Pallam Raju had earlier given a hint that the State will have to wait for realising its demand for an IIT under the 12 Plan. The Minister had also pointed out that his Ministry's effort would be on consolidating the existing central universities and IITs.
A senior official in the Higher Education Department told The Hindu that the government would not push for the IIEST plan immediately, as the priority was to get an IIT. "Even though the HRD Minister's announcement had cast shadows on the IIT project for the State, we are hopeful that things might take a positive turn," he said.
The Ministry had delayed the approval of the Cusat upgradation proposal after the previous LDF government conveyed its desire that the university should be converted into an IIT and not an IIEST. A section of the teachers and employees had also opposed the Ministry's move to provide the framework of a National Institute of Technology for the proposed IIEST.
Cusat Vice-Chancellor Ramachandran Thekkedath said that he had not received any official information from the HRD ministry on whether the upgradation plan has been put on hold. The Vice-Chancellor had earlier pointed out that the Syndicate had passed a resolution stating that the Union government should convert the university into a Central institute.

You always go with an expectation to concerts of certain artists and generally they don't disappoint. S. Sowmya is a consistent performer and her manodharma sangitam could be attributed as a reason. Past Wednesday evening it was no different. She dedicated the concert to D.S. Ramanujam, KFA secretry, who passed away the previous evening. She was in the company of Embar S.Kannan( violin) and Neyveli Narayanan (mridangam).
Warming up with an emotional 'Ninne Bhajana' (Natta-Adi-Tyagaraja) and a few avarthanams of kalpana swarams, she proceeded to yet another master piece of the saint poet 'Chalamelara Saketharama (Margahindolam-Adi). The swaraprastharams at a breezy pace oozed with the raga's essence sans any arithmetic.
Following her like a shadow Kannan was equally passionate in this segment. With head bent the only movement on stage about Kannan are his two hands weaving magic. Narayanan's exuberant display of rhythm artistry lifted the concert to a higher level. Be it nadai or arudhi, he was immaculate. Sama essay of Sowmya that followed was spontaneous, with the artist exploring the raga in all dimensions. Kannan gave a spirited reply.
Then came a pleasant rendering of Dikshitar's 'Anna purne Visalakshi' (Adi). 'Yaro Ivar Yaro' in Saveri (Adi-Arunachala Kavi) would have surprised many as its Bhairavi version is more popular. It is believed that Arunachala Kavi originally conceived it in Saveri.
The evening's main raga Harikhambhoji was soaked in classicism. A favourite of Saint Tyagaraja, this raga offers enough scope for improvisation. That Sowmya explored it with zeal without resorting to any gimmicks such as swara bheda showed her steadfast belief in pure music.
Sivan's 'Enadhu Manam Kavalai Ennum Irul Suzhandaal Evaridam Murai Iduven' was rendered with feeling. Narayanan excelled in the Thani combining various nadais intelligently. Particular mention must be made of his playing the topi. Such was her manobhavam that Sowmya could not resist researching the raga while singing Sri Madhava ( Behag-Adi-Sivan) though it came towards the end. Kannan holding the gandharam during this phase added colour. Sowmya wound up with Mahakavi's Kavadi Sindhu in Chenchurutti and a tillana.
The 35th edition of Kartik Fine Arts' music festival began with Ranjani Hebbar Guruprasad's vocal concert at the Narada Gana Sabha Mini hall past Wednesday morning. Ranjani portrayed Amritavarshini in all its splendour. The akhara phrases in the mid and high ranges were executed with aplomb. She was however found wanting in the mandhara sthayi.
G. Venkatasubramaniam was at ease in his reply reminding the listener of his guru M.A. Sundaresan now and then. 'Anandaamritha karshini' (Adi-Dikshitar) with interesting kalpanaswaras was an apt choice with clouds looming large over the auditorium. Well settled, Ranajni's next choice was 'Allagallala' ( Madhyamavathi-Rupakam-Tyagaraja). Nagarajan's arudhis for this song were noteworthy. Ranjani complimented the kriti with fast paced swaras. Yet there was sag.
Taking up Sankarabharanam for elaboration, Ranjani splashed it with authentic phrases that were a judicious mixture of Akhara, long karvais and brigas. Venkatasubramaniam matched her phrase for phrase. Swati Tirunal's Navarathiri kriti 'Devi Jagajanani'( Adi), a beauty, found the vocalist doing the niraval in the anupallavi 'Deva Makutamani.' Both here and the swara phase that followed she did her best to showcase the raga.
The rhythm duo Erode Nagarajan (mridangam) and Nergunam Manikandan (morsing) combined well to present a lively tani.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is on the rise among America's children, but could it be that the tough economy is actually contributing to rising ADHD rates?
A research team from the University of Exeter Medical School, publishing in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, found that there is indeed an association between poverty and ADHD in kids.
The researchers analyzed a database of records from around 19,500 children that were collected as part of the Millennium Cohort Study. They found that significantly more children with ADHD come from families that are classed as being below the UK's poverty line. In particular, the researchers found that those children who lived in social housing, renting their accommodation, were roughly three times more likely to have ADHD than those from families who owned or who were paying off a mortgage on their own homes. That's not all, either.
The data showed that younger mothers, who tend to be poorer, were more likely to have a child with ADHD. Single parents were also more likely to have a child diagnosed with ADHD when compared to two-parent households. Furthermore, mothers without a university degree were more than twice as likely to have a child with ADHD than those who had one.
This research, while only establishing a possible link, may be important for a number of reasons, one of which is that it clarifies that ADHD doesn't appear to be the cause of economic burdens, as has been previously thought, and may in fact be a symptom of economic disadvantage.
Lead researcher Dr Ginny Russell is quoted as saying, "There is a genetic element to ADHD, but this study provides strong evidence that ADHD is also associated with a disadvantaged social and economic background. Some people believe that ADHD in children causes disadvantage to the economic situation of their family, but we found no evidence to support that theory. It's important to discover more about the causes of this disorder so that we can look towards prevention, and so that we can target treatment and support effectively."
ADHD is a group of behavioral symptoms that is characterized by a short attention span, difficulty in settling or keeping still, and an inability to ignore distractions. While ADHD has been diagnosed in a variety of children of all intellectual abilities, those with learning difficulties tend to be more likely to develop the disorder than those who aren't affected by such challenges.
This latest study comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) releases its own data showing that 1 in 10 US children may now have been diagnosed with ADHD.
The CDC's analysis is based on a 2011 poll of more than 95,000 parents and showed that about 6.4 million children aged 4 to 17 in that sample (11%) had been diagnosed with ADHD. That figure is up from what was reported in 2007 when the figure came in at 9.7%. The analysis also showed that the number of children being placed on ADHD medications like Ritalin rose by one million between 2003 and 2012.
Perhaps most concerning is that the survey data showed around 18% of kids who have been diagnosed with ADHD didn't receive psychiatric support or drug therapy during the 2011-2012 period.
"This finding suggests that there are a large number of young children who could benefit from the early initiation of behavioral therapy, which is recommended as the first-line treatment for preschool children with ADHD," study author and CDC researcher Susanna Visser is quoted as saying.
In terms of good news, however, the analysis does seem to suggest that the rise in new ADHD diagnoses is starting to slow after booming since the turn of the century, going from a 6% rise during the early and mid 2000s to 4% between 2007-2011.
ADHD has proved a difficult disorder to diagnose as the line between normal childhood attention problems and the disorder is, for many parents, hard to distinguish. Children may simply be thought of as being "bad" or "disruptive" rather than their condition being recognized. By the same token, a certain prejudice against a perceived over-diagnosis of ADHD has also taken hold, spurred on by the fact that the diagnostic criteria for ADHD has in the past seemed quite wide reaching and generalized.
While no conclusive link between a poor economic background and ADHD rates has yet been made, a growing body of evidence points to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including economic tensions, as being likely to lead to ADHD — and it is the environmental factors that will be key in discerning treatment and prevention options.

very sad
I knew plenty of rich kids with ADD. I dont think poverty contributes to it, I think there are just too many doctors willing to diagnose it to kids who are unruly, but not impaired. Big Pharma figured out that medicating kids to make them behave was a great way to line its pockets.
I agree that part of it may be due to diet as junk food are much cheaper per calorie than healthy food but there may be a couple of other factors. ASS is partially hereditary. Those who have not been professionally as successful because of ADHD or ADD may be poorer and their kids may hav e inherited their ADD. Also there is a liink beteeen drug and alcohol usage in pregnancy and ADD. Pooere parents are more likely to be involved in drugs and alcohol. I came from a middle class background and have ADD. My mother believes that ti may be due to the diet pill which were amphetamines that she took when she was pregnant with me (in the 1950s people were unaware of the dangers of amphetamines). In addition there may be less decorum and more agitation yelling etc in a poorer home. Finally, I do not know about the schools in England but in the United States schools have been put under tremendous pressure to have high test scores for their students. One way to raise the school's students' average test scores is by throwing as many kids as possible into special education or at least get them out of the testing pool with diagnosis such as ADD.
Adhd is being diagnosed at a previously unheard of rate. Since there is a diagnosis, there might as well be a solution to how it is managed, since the children spend most of their time at school. Please sign petition to educate School teachers and staff so they can be more humane and compassionate towards adhd children. Remember stories about children who are forcibly secluded and isolated. This is NOT how a special needs child should be treated.
or just type 'adhd' in search
Poverty definitely contributes to ADHD as pharmaceutical companies want to be rich so they had their buddies the psychs make up this fraudulent condition known as ADHD so they can drug kids by the tens of thousands and make a bundle.
Parents buy into this scheme as it gives them a reason that they don't have to fully take responsibility for their child. The pyschs give parents an excuse. My child has ADHD so it means I have no responsibility for the condition of my child.
Is it really poverty, or rather "morosity", that contributes to the rise in ADHD? Is it the low income, or the lower level of hope and enthusiasm that people with lower income can sometimes experience that really causes ADHD in their children?
Now, I don't mean to say that all the people who have lower income are depressed, really not. But the factors associated with lower income (bad housing situation, etc) can be very depressing for some, as well as other factors named in the article (being a young single parent, etc). Wouldn't that also have an incidence on the children being rased in this situation?
Could we find ways to give back some hope to people who are struggling with the money situation? I know, it's not easy, it's even very difficult, but our society can't keep hindering the lives of little kids like this...
Jacob, too bad you weren't deprived of those awful vaccines and antibiotics. Then you might not be here to spew your BS at the rest of us. At your age you should at least remember the ravages of polio, smallpox and bacterial infections. A short memory leads to repeated stupid mistakes.
"Is Poverty Contributing to the Rise in Childhood ADHD?"
No - look no further than vaccinations, drugs and the chemical soup that our kids are subjected to from the age of 6 weeks!
Poor kids that are not bombarded with chemicals are less likely to suffer from ADHD.
I wonder whether some ADHD is really attention seeking behavior. Poor parents who have to work themselves into exhaustion every day, often do not have the energy to give their children the attention they so desperately need to develop normally.
I have often suspected that food additives are the real culprit.

Comment on: RIBA councillor slams delegation to Israel
The RIBA Council has no mandate from members to get involved with foreign politics other than matters of direct architectural concern. Matters such as those discussed above may be of interest to architects as individuals but are of no concern of a professional body.
Comment on: Labour calls for more competitions and a UK-wide festival of architecture
Oh, how lovely, more 'competitions'. I do so love working for free when I have a mortgage to pay and family to feed. There is no money to venture, therefore there can be no gain. Does the Labour Party have any grip at all on reality? Most architects earn less than most professionals. Including those professionals paid by the state, who are, apparently, all underpaid! Hours on PQQs when they should take minutes, designing 'competition' entries to Stage 3 and beyond without costs, etc. The RIBA may be a charity but few architect's practices are.
Comment on: Brooks: house builders ignoring lessons of award-winning schemes
Spot on. A cause of bad design is the planning committee and other politicians, or fear thereof. House-builders are under pressure to keep NIMBYs happy.
Comment on: Unemployment levels fall as firms face skills shortage
There is probably not a skills shortage as such. There is a shortage of architects willing to accept salaries lower in real terms than they were eight years ago! Many architect jobs are being advertised at less than those of technicians. How many architects have accepted higher paying posts as 'technicians' and 'project/design managers' I wonder? Until the profession values itself we will continue to be undervalued by our clients and therefore unwilling to increase salaries appropriately and fees to a profitable level. Like CAD before, BIM is making us more productive, but instead of benefitting the profession is being bullied into producing more work for the same unprofitable fee. Daft.
Comment on: Gender pay gap: 'beyond shocking'
Ian Goulty has hit the nail on the head. Do we know why there is a pay difference? Is it just a trick of statistics? If women take time out to look after children and retire earlier then the 'average' salary for women will inevitably be less. If on the other hand the statistics have been adjusted for such matters then the gender pay gap is a very worrying issue. It is important not to forget that ALL architects are not, generally, sufficiently recompensed for the skills possessed.
