The beef industry is like a middle aged man who smokes, drinks, doesn´t exercise and thinks he´ll be okay as long as he eats three bran muffins every morning and stays away from doctors. Like that candidate for bypass surgery, we too are living in denial about the deteriorating health of the American beef industry. If a human was in as bad a shape as the cow/calf and cattle feeding business they´d be put on life support.
California officials recently subpoenaed a Houston-based firm to determine if the company assisted power plant owners in artificially boosting energy prices during that state´s now infamous power crises. What did the company, Industrial Information Resources, allegedly do? It provided data that power plant owners could have used to manipulate the energy market.
Fruit and vegetable farmers who see grocery stores selling the product of their toil for multiples of what they receive through traditional markets have the option of selling their produce at a local farmer´s market or a roadside stand. Until now cattlemen did not have the same option. There´s one simple reason why ranchers have difficulty selling direct to consumers: USDA inspection.
The future of the cattle industry is tied up in court right now. Decisions that will shape tomorrow's cattle industry are either waiting on appeal or on a slow judge. Here is a sampler of pending important judicial decisions that will affect your future.
This letter is offered to give a 'heads-up' to 4-H families and anyone who owns livestock in the state of Colorado and isn't already aware of this issue.

Reactions from the talent behind films eviscerated on MST3k have varied (it could be a joke, but the crew claims Joe Don Baker of Mitchell fame wants to take a swing at them), though not as much as fans of the films proper. A famous, though unverified, story has Dennis Miller flying the cast to a filming of his HBO show only to scream at them for having their way with Marooned! In light of the recent announcement that creator Joel Hodgson wants to reboot the cult favourite, here's a look at a few episodes that may not have been playing fair.
5. Revenge of The Creature (Season 8, Episode 1)
There is a delicate chemistry to enjoying trash on its own merit. Too bad or too good, it can easily throw things off-balance into the oblivion of the unwatchable. Creature upped the stakes of the classic original by bringing it to local beaches and, »

John Williams, the cinema's most widely and wildly celebrated composer, is a nominee again this year for The Book Thief (you can download some sheet music from the score here). He is 82 years old but in a delightfully senior twist, he is only the third oldest nominee (after June Squibb and Patricia Norris). IMDb's database for composers is very confusing so I can't share "number of original scores" but his feature film career, starting with Daddy-o (1958) and continuing on through the The Book Thief (2013), is prolific and highly regarded with more presumably to come since the Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises are still alive and so is he.

Original recipe yields 4 servings
Amount per serving ({{servings}} total)
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Ready In
I hadn't thought of serving quinoa with pesto before so this recipe was a great idea starter for me. As well as the pesto, I added lots more tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, chopped olives, chopped...
This was deeeeeeelicious. I love pesto, so this was perfect for me. I felt like it needed something else, though... so I added a can of chickpeas and it was great.
Quick and easy for a main dish or a side dish. I added sliced carrots at the end with the tomatoes for more color and some crunch. My husband had seconds!

Be Heard: IUPUI Open Access Policy Information Sessions
IUPUI's Faculty Council is currently considering the adoption of a campus-wide, opt-out open access policy. I think that's great news! If you're reading this on a screen, you should think it's great news too. Why? Because this is IUPUI; we do great work here--really. In addition to the second largest medical school in the United States, the IUPUI campus includes a lot of scholars with a passion for civic participation and community engagement. Here's a chance for us to honor those values and to give access to IUPUI's research and scholarship to any reader on the Internet. The good news is that this can be done at no cost to authors and while respecting academic freedom. For the details, read the policy: http://ulib.iupui.edu/OA
If you're not familiar with the Harvard (2008) model open access policy, it's likely that you have some questions about how all this works. Such as: What about copyright? Will this hurt my favorite journal? Why not just use PubMed Central? (Tip: check the policy documentation--where the FAQs are succinctly answered.)
Greed, Fear & Snobbery: The STM Open Access Licenses
At the beginning of this month the International Association of Science, Technical & Medical Publishers (STM) released a suite of model licenses "for a variety of uses within open access publishing." If that sounds like reinventing the widely used Creative Commons, don't be suckered; it's far worse. Rather than merely wasting our time and trying our patience with superfluous model licenses, STM is promoting licenses that decrease the "commons" and stifle "creative" opportunity. While STM insists that the model licenses will "be complementary to Creative Commons licenses," these "complements" are restrictive in nature. Furthermore, three of the five models are "Full" licenses; only two were written to supplement other licenses.
Sex Sells, If You're Willing to Show A Lot of Skin
Two of IUPUI's savviest faculty authors, Aaron Carroll and Rachel Vreeman, recently released their third book in a popular, myth-debunking consumer health series. The first two titles did well, but this one will be a big hit--sex sells:
Carroll, Aaron E., and Rachel C. Vreeman. Don't Put That in There!: And 69 Other Sex Myths Debunked. New York: St. Martin's Griffin, 2014.
IUPUIScholarWorks Quarterly Report, April-June 2014
The second quarter of 2014 is behind us. It's time to tally up the submissions to IUPUIScholarWorks! While working furiously to upgrade our DSpace version (again, version 4 coming soon), we also uploaded a healthy collection of scholarly materials--now free to readers from around the world. Here's what's new for the second quarter of 2014:
Scholarly Articles: 185
Dissertations & Theses: 83
Posters, presentations & other gray literature: 59
That's 327 new items this quarter--bringing our year-to-date total up to 608 items.
Of the items submitted within the last 12 months, the following drew the most web traffic during this quarter:
We're Sexy and We Know It
In the most recent issue of C&RL News, the ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee provides a short overview of what's hot: "Top trends in academic libraries: a review of the trends and issues affecting academic libraries in higher education." (I read the paper version, by the way--proving, perhaps, that even here in the Center for Digital Scholarship, some things do not get on my desk until they literally get on my desk.) Anyway, in case you're not a CR&L News reader, here are the seven trends:
Device neutral digital services
Evolving openness in higher education
Student success
Competency-based learning
Digital humanities
Funds for Your Open Access Article Publishing Fees
Last Fall, September 2013, IUPUI launched an Open Access Publishing Fund. Faculty members that wish to publish an article in a trusted, fully open access journal, may apply to the Fund to support article processing fees. With the average article processing fee hovering at about $1,000, this is a great opportunity for IUPUI authors.
As of today, the Fund has encumbered or spent 30% of the available funds ($47,000) in supporting fees for ten articles.
Surprise! Harvard is a Hornet's Nest of Copyright Infringement
IUPUIScholarWorks Quarterly Report, January-March 2014
The first quarter of this year has been a good one for IUPUIScholarWorks. While upgrading our version of DSpace, we also rebuilt our community list on the home page. Currently, thirteen IUPUI schools have collections in ScholarWorks. (We hope that the few remaining schools will create collections before the end of the year.) While making improvements to the website, we were also busy posting new submissions to the repository. Here's what's new in IUPUIScholarWorks for the first quarter of 2014:
Scholarly Articles: 125
We're well on our way to providing open access to over 1,000 new items in the year 2014!
My Thoughts about the FIRST Act: Public Access is Not Enough
Many scholars and librarians support public access to research publications funded by U.S. taxpayers. It's hard to argue with the idea that the people who paid for this research have a right to read the results without having to pay a third party (often a commercial publisher) for access. But, in making the case for open access to research published by faculty working at a public university, I sometimes meet supporters of public access that assume the access problem has been solved by federal policy. Reader, we have a problem.
"Open Access," is it a Proper Noun?
Recently I've noticed a tendency in my prose to capitalize the words "Open Access." Somehow my mind turned a concept into a brand. I had some help, of course. For a shorthand, many that write about open access use the initialism "OA." It's easy to see how that might introduce capitalization when it comes time to spell out both words--so, "open access" becomes "OA" which is reborn as "Open Access." And, then, many fine OA advocates have worked to make Open Access a brand. With manifestos, conferences, books, and the ever present icon, Open Access is a brand--and that's a good thing too. Without all of this attention (scholarly articles, library flyers, t-shirts, and Internet marketing) many would fail to consider the benefits of open access practices; many more would assume that OA is merely something offered by big name publishers at the steep price tag of $3,000 per article. (Yes, even the subscription publishers are cashing in on the Open Access brand.)

Special Education Program Concentration Coursework (9-12 units)
Candidates must apply 9-12 of these units toward their M.A. degree.
- EDSP 512 (3 units): Advanced Issues in Assessment, Curriculum, & Instruction of Students with Disabilities
- EDSP 513 (3 units): Current and Emerging Research and Practice in Special Education
- EDSP 514 (3 units): Advanced Communication, Collaboration, & Consultation in Special Education
- EDSP 515 (3 units): Advanced Legal Issues in Special Education
Electives (6-18 units)
Candidates have the opportunity to seek breadth or depth in a related area of study through completion of elective courses. The number of elective units needed to complete the M.A. degree requirements varies depending upon the M.A. pathway selected. Elective coursework may be drawn from other graduate programs in the School of Education, or other departments at Sonoma State University, such as psychology, counseling, kinesiology, or others. These courses are selected with the advice and approval of the M.A. advisor.
All M.A. candidates within the Special Education concentration will be assigned to a special education faculty advisor for the purpose of developing an individualized program of study. Electives will be determined in consideration with the advisor, in an effort to provide a broader or deeper program of study that responds to varying student interests.
Professional Portfolio
All Level II Education Specialist credential students are required to develop and maintain a Professional Portfolio in the Level II program. This portfolio is a continuation of the Preliminary Level I Program Portfolio that is based on the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. In addition, all M.A. candidates are required to prepare an M.A. portfolio throughout their course of study. Although the focus of each portfolio is different, there is some overlap given they both include professional writing samples and a record of the students' professional reflections of the impact of their graduate study on their educational practice. Level II students, therefore, will include entries from their M.A. Portfolio in their Level II Portfolio. Candidates outside the Level II program will review the portfolio requirements with their M.A. advisor to determine the purpose and focus of their M.A. portfolio.
For more information, please contact either:

The Hesler Assembly of God Church, along with several local businesses, came together Saturday to help bring hope to Owen County.
The event – God Gives Hope to Owen County – was held at the high school and included a job fair, health screenings, blood mobile, kids and youth zone, inflatables, free groceries and free lunch.
Several booths were set up including the University of Kentucky, Campbellsville University, a Hispanic outreach team and youth services from OCHS.
The Owen County Public Library will be hosting ghost hunter Patti Starr Friday from 6:30 until 8 p.m.
After Starr speaks, there will be a ghost hunt in the building from 8 to 9 p.m.
Starr is a world renowned paranormal investigator who owns the Ghost Chasers International organization founded in 1996 based in Lexington. She is also owner of the Ghost Hunter Shop located at 835 Porter Place in Lexington.
Starr is the tour guide for the popular Bardstown Ghost Trek which she started in 1997 in Bardstown.
Hundreds of supporters turned out for the Owen County High School football homecoming parade and pep rally Friday afternoon before the game against East Jessamine. Second photo: Homecoming queen Jensen Wainscott poses with players Daniel Dauwe and Byron Robertson.

I love a parade.
If you spend your whole life in Owen County, you might not realize the quality of life that so many people here enjoy.
In many larger communities, the idea of a high school football homecoming parade has faded into memories.
With more population, the idea of closing down a few streets for a hour of so on a Friday afternoon would trigger angry protests and a lot of calls to the police, the mayor, the city council, the dog warden, ministers, deputies, homeland security and Girls Scout troop leaders.
It was a goal the Owen County High School girls' golf team had set at the end of last season. They wanted to make it to state tournament.
Mission accomplished.
On Sept. 29, the Lady Rebels golf team finished second at the sixth-region tournament to qualify for the state golf tournament to be held Thursday and Friday in Bowling Green.
"This was an exciting day for our girls' golf team," Owen County High School Golf Coach David Wainscott said.
The Owenton City Council voted to raise its real property tax rates to .326 from last year's .316 during its Oct. 1 meeting.
The .326 tax rate means a property owner will pay .326 on each $100 worth of real property at its assessed cash value.
Owenton City Clerk and Treasurer Laura Aldridge said a property owner whose property was worth $100,000 would pay $326 in real property taxes.
The personal property rate will be .469 as opposed to last year's rate of .3338. The vehicle rate will be .2829.
I watched Glenn Beck when he was on Headline News. Now he is on Fox News. We watch him every night. I do not feel like exploits fear. My opinion is he makes me angry (because) of the way our country is being run. The way he uses the chalk board and pictures helps us to know who is who.
Now about health care. A lot of people think it is going to be free or better care. If the government-run health care is so great, then why are people coming from other countries to seek our health care? Due to long waits for tests or surgeries that is why they are coming.
The Owen County Library is one of the best resources we have in the county for educating the masses. Open to the public, it provides a diverse menu of programs for all ages and many interests. Whether you are interested in gardening or quilting, music or rug making, the library can point you in the right direction.
The Owen County Fair Board will hold its first annual fall truck and tractor pull fund-raiser Oct. 10.
Fair board member Ashley Young said many people have requested a better carnival for the Owen County fair, which is held every July.
"People want a bigger carnival and they want to see new things at the fair each year," Young said. "There are a lot of people in the county that pull trucks and it's a popular event around here, so it will be a good way to raise money for the fair."
While some school districts across the state of Kentucky have shut down due to H1N1 virus and other illnesses, Owen County students remain healthy.
Owen County School District Director of Pupil Personnel Charlotte Elkins said the attendance rate for the year remains high.
"We've been in good shape so far," Elkins said. "The rate for the year so far for the district is 95 percent. That's from the beginning of the year up to last Friday."
Elkins said there have been no confirmed cases of H1N1 in the district.

From June 12-18, individuals of all ages and backgrounds celebrated a National Week of Making: at the White House, in our Nation's capital, and beyond.
Announcing an upcoming maker- and LGBT-focused installment of "We The Geeks!"
Yesterday, President Obama met with 14 scientists and engineers and the representatives of a STEM mentoring organization who exemplify what it means to be an effective STEM mentor: the latest winners of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM).
Today, in a major step to advance the President's Climate Data Initiative and the Climate Resilience Toolkit, the Obama Administration is providing data and tools that will help ensure our nation's transportation systems are more resilient to the effects of climate change.
Today, the Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a Request for Information seeking suggestions for Nanotechnology-Inspired Grand Challenges for the Next Decade.
On June 25, 2013, President Obama laid out his comprehensive plan for steady action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution in America, prepare our country for the impacts of climate change, and lead global efforts to fight it. The Plan is a recognition that climate change is unequivocal, its primary cause is greenhouse gas pollution, and it is threatening the health of our communities, families, and economy. Learn more:
On May 9, 2013, President Obama signed an Executive Order directing historic steps to make government-held data more accessible to the public and to entrepreneurs and others as fuel for innovation and economic growth. That same day, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a landmark policy to help implement the Executive Order. Learn more:
On April 22, 2013, President Obama hosted 100 student innovators from more than 40 states for the third-ever White House Science Fair. The event was a celebration of amazing and award-winning student-achievements in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The cohort of kids included app-coders, algae-growers, video-game designers, city-planners, roboticists, and rocket-scientists—most of them not yet old enough to drive. Learn more:
On February 13, 2013, OSTP hosted the first-ever White House State of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (SoSTEM) event, where nearly 100 middle- and high-schoolers spent an hour asking STEM-centric questions to some of the Nation's top S&T innovators. The event highlighted the Obama Administration's ongoing work to expand participation of American youth in STEM studies and equip the Nation's future innovators with the skills they need to succeed in STEM careers.

Married woman falling for someone else
I am married but I think iv started to fall for another guy, I feel like I can confide more to him and be myself more. My husband and I have been on... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
It is very hard to see the forest when you are standing in the middle of the trees. And it is hard to see the good and bad points of each other and your marriage because you are in the middle of it. You really should find a good counselor (both of you preferred, by yourself if he won't go) and see what you can accomplish. The counselor may be affiliated with your religion or not, depending on your desires.
Love is not the magical feeling most people think it is. It is finding someone who interests you, shares your interests, motivates you, etc. When you find someone like that, you decide whether the person is one you wish to put more trust and faith in, and share your life with. If so, you move into a deeper committed relationship, often marriage. Many do this and do not recognize it, just think they "fell in love". Others think they are deeply in love and commit themselves to each other, then find there is much they do NOT have in common and it tears them apart.
Nothing stays the same forever. Each of you will change somewhat, but you made a commitment, so you each need to adapt a bit to continue loving and living with that person. Too many people reach a point where they see some changes, and take that as a reason (or an excuse) to end the relationship. For some people, it is easiest to dump things and move on, but a committed, loyal person will work at keeping the relationship together, happy, and productive.
Again, please find a counselor who can help you see the qualities you earlier found in each other, and help you onto a path that builds your marriage, not destroys it. If one of you refuses to go, the counselor may still help the other get the marriage back on track. The things you learn may also take you the other way, and if you find the marriage is ending, you will know that you honestly tried to make it work.
dude...nice...im glad other people feel the same way I do...
What Guys Said 19
I highly recommend searching your soul as to why you are married. Talk with your husband about your connection starting to crumble.
I highly recommend Mort Fertel's Marriage Fitness program, even though it was too late for me. It may not be too late for the two of you!
If you can't confide in your husband, then something has gone wrong. It's the connection that matters, not the compatibility.
It is normal to emotional and sexual interests in people other than your spouse. It isn't an inditement of your marriage and it doesn't mean you don't love your husband. Marriage is hard work. Lot of people choose to believe that the love has faltered rather than taking a hard look at their own part of the marriage. Have you been really honest about your wants and expectations? Are you giving as good as you get? Are to being fair?
As far as the other guy goes, you will have other sexual interests. Feel free to talk to your husband about conditional non-monogamy and be prepared to offer him similar freedom. It can do a lot to prevent a marriage from collapsing due to ordinary desire.
if people worked at their relationship as hard as they did their jobs there would be a hell lot less of a divorse rate
heres the thing, if you leave your husband for this guy, WHO KNOWS what happens...it could be worse, it could be better...but EVERY relationship needs work and effort put forth
just because you argue isn't a good enough reason to fall for another guy...all relationships start out amazing, flawless, eventually you argue and disagree...hey that's normal, pick and choose your battles, don't regret falling for some guy you barley know, at least not nearly as close as you should know your husband...work at your current relationship, if you two can't seem to come to the middle and you argue every single day, every time you talk then yeah leave...but I don't think that's good reason to be falling for someone else if you argue...every kind of relationship has their bumps (friendship, fwb, marriages, bf/gf) you just need to decide which ones are worth fighting for...remember why you married your husband and lets not all another stasitic to the "divorse rate" because of arguements...i can guarentee you if you leave for this guy you will have the same issues, you just can't see them yet...not relationship is perfect, its how you deal with the imperfections and handle every situation as it comes...respect each other for your flaws and embrase each other...remind why you love one another...mayb eyou need more romance to spark your love again
dont give up like everyone else...b/c every relationship needs work, so work at it just as hard as your job and you should be fine...pick and choose, pick and choose
good luck
i think most married women end up cheating kind of human nature... 50% of marriages end in divorce, but what people DON'T talk about is how much infidelity and misery there must be in the 50% that don't get divorced
What about the married guys that cheat? There's a lot more of them. Once kids come into the equation women don't exactly have the time to go out and cheat.
tons of kids are fathered by someone other than the husband.. about 12% globally. and I would guess more % of married women cheat, men that cheat just do it more frequently.
and when a wife gets fat and lets herself go after kids can you blame guys that cheat?
Even when I read this question it make me feel bad, why do you guys/girls marry that easy sometime? If you don't believe the guy or girl is right person? If one day I marry I will don't think for other girl because I will love her for ever if I am going to marry. About you it's too late for your marriage if there is no respect or love in your life.
First I'd like to say that marriage before around 25 is way too early!
But teenage emotions towards someone can be very intense, and at such age rash and irresponsible decisions can happen easily, I can tell that about myself!
But what is done is done, still you must figure out somehow how to fix your problem!
Nr.1 killer of all relationship is dishonesty and lack of communitation.
Nobody likes to argue, especially with the loved one, but if it's about really important issues, there must be an argument which must be finished with a decision, otherwise being silent and hoping the problem will go away by itself WILL make it far worse!
If you have children(or if you're pregnant), make sure they are taken good care of first, only then solve the other things.
If you still don't have children, you can divorce easily, you're still very young, by forcing to stay forever with somebody who ain't that right would be TERRIBLE decision! Think about it!
This is why married people should not have close friends of the opposite gender. This stuff happens all the time. If you want to save your marriage cut off all communication with this guy. If you want this guy instead of your husband, get a divorce before pursuing a relationship with him.

sounds like the old classic rushed to get married too young and had no idea what you really wanted cause you haven't lived enough life to really figure it out.
honestly, it sucks for your husband but you would probably be doing him a service if you divorced him and left him alone so he can have a decent chance at finding a decent wife while he is young. it would be very unfair to string him along and waste his years. you obviously aren't ready for marriage, you are basically cheating and your only 18-24 so you couldn't have been married too long. I don't feel sorry for you but I think you should help out your husband by setting him free to find a girl who deserves him. because you do not. you need to go play with boys who want to do the same and leave men to be men. and what kind of peice of $h!t is this other guy who is okay with destroying a marriage? if he is that much of a loser what kind of man do you think he is really going to turn out to be?
sorry but I tell it like it is. and that's what this site is for. not to sugar coat things and make buddies. I hope you make a decision that restores some small amount of your dignity but it makes me sick to see people watering marrige down more and more with each generation to the point that it means almost nothing anymore. shame on you and your loser boy on the side.
Whatever you do, be honest to your husband.
and follow you hart, whatever makes you happy.
whatever makes you happy is horrible advice.

Well something that may give you short-term happiness may bring long-term consequences.
If you run out on everything when you hit a rough patch or an upsetting situation, you'll be running your whole life.
You've got to assess your reasons for ending something that once made you happy and beginning something that makes you happy now, because you will be unhappy sometimes with this new guy too.
We can't expect to be happy all of the time.
I see, You're right, it was a horrible idea. I guess I didn't think of it that way. Thanks for the explanation.

i think your should seperate from your husband for a few months to see where you want to be. Just tell him yall have been fighting a lot and you need your space. then spend more time with this other guy. if you don't feel a connection then let it be
wow, your gonna make a great whore/wife one day.

Wow, must feel awesome to sit at a keyboard talk that kind of hard $H!T to stranger. "dumb f*uck" to a guy with 2 masters degrees. and "little bitch" to a guy who's gone 6-1 as an MMA figher. HaHa Sounds like the desperate response of low class trash to me. The louder you get and more profanity you use the more you feel like you win, right? You go girl! (now its -8)
you call me a whore but I'm the one who is trash? I don't care how many masters you have your a bitch for calling a whore for saying something you don't like. that's called a bitch move. so yes you are still a dumb f*** and a bitch. you think I care you do MMA? ha! I'm sure you suck like the little bitch that you are. I'm done talking to trash like u.
I don't know how long you've been married for, but I think this is a case of you thinking the grass is greener. Of course this other guy is going to seem nicer compared to your husband, he hasn't known you for as long, he doesn't know your flaws, he probably hasn't seen you at your worst. He is obviously going to be supportive because he has no need to commit to you, and he probably wouldn't be as supportive or caring if he actually had to see you everyday. Your husband is the one who has seen all your bad points and still loves you, so what if you argue? The idea of having a marriage without arguing is unrealistic. The more you spend time with this other guy the worse it will get. You aren't single and on the dating scene anymore, this isn't just a relationship you can leave and move on happily with this other guy. This is a marriage that you promised you would commit to, and if you werent willing to commit completely to your husband, than you shouldn't have married in the first place. In this day and age, marriage has become a thing you do when you've been dating for a while and you aren't sure what to do next. Its stupid. Love only last for and average of 3 years and after that it fades. Its never going to be all sweet and romantic, its always going to fade into a rut and routine, but the thing you have to decide is who you'd prefer to spend that rut/routine with. This new guy may be romantic and mysterious now, but he will have his flaws and you have yours, don't make any mistakes because if you do go with this other guy you might really regret it when the romance dies away.
Your husband is the one who has seen all your bad points and still loves you
See a counselor, talk to your husband, if anything leave this other guy be. You are married and if this guy is threatening that(even if that's not his intent), then to save your marriage, you need to step back from your friend. Couples have their bad points...it's talking and working through them that makes them stronger. Find out what's putting you two on the rocks. If you've only been married a couple years, don't throw in the towel yet.
I believe that as humans we sometimes get scared when we become fully committed, especially at so young. Everyone spouting their opinions, friends playing the field, being young in general. Then there's also boredom(it happens, doesn't mean you scrap the relationship, just means you find something to spice it up).
On top of all this, there's the confusion sometimes caught up with girls and guys being close friends and the idea that it'll lead to more. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that this can't possibly be, that you're married and that even if you guys are fighting a lot right now, you love him. Remember why you two married. And remember not only are you husband and wife, you're best friends and partners in life...and get this, best friends fight...sometimes something happens that just makes them feel like they hate each other and then one day, they forget what started them fighting in the first place and they let bygones be bygones.
Sit him down(your husband) and speak calmly. Start with asking him, why you guys are fighting and figure out a way you two can fix it. It can be done...I've seen my parents go through the worst fight of their life and threaten divorce, fall back in love and support each other. You two can do it, it is possible.
As for this other guy, tell him you two need some space so you can save your marriage. If he's a good enough friend, he'll understand.
:Everything will be okay if you do have COMMUNICATION... just talk to your husband tell him what do you feel about it so that he will be aware and things will be okay between you and your husband... ANd besides you won't marry him if you don't love him right? probably you just confuse right now regarding your feelings because you saw something in another guy that makes you interest which you cannot see in your husband but whatever it is... they key here is TALK...
THE key is COMMUNICATION***
and hope everything will be fine with you,Goodluck WIsh you the best..
@GODEMPEROR: why smiley? ;))) hehhee
I suggest you ride out you're relationship with your husband. Don't break things before they're ready to be broken or you'll wind up regretting it. Explain this to the guy you're falling for and ask if he's willing to wait, if he loves you he should.
Then take the time to feel out your marriage. Talk about options with your husband, ask him where he's see the marriage going. Don't bring up these topics during a fight though, that will just seem like an attack. Instead bring it up when you're both comfortable and can think clearly.
It's going to be rocky, no matter what you do, so just try to figure out what you really want once you've cleared your head and go for it.
Whatever you do, be honest with your husband. Even if you do choose the other man, it will hurt both of you a lot less if you're honest rather then hide this.
Also, you need to make a choice. One way or another. Other wise you can wind losing, and hurting both of them. Personally for me, I would try and rekindle my marriage because you made a comitment to him. It is not uncommon to be attracted to other people and even become close to someone like that. However, it is dangerous just for this reason right here.
Like I said, be honest either way.
well...u need to decide... either leave your husband and get on with this guy or leave this guy and try to work things with your husband...
if you are not happy with your husband and the other guy is good then I see no problem
but if you have a child then it far better if you try your best to make things better with your husband
Dont be dumb and leave your HUSBAND for A BOYFRIEND.
BOYFRIENDS will leave you anytime,he even maybe won't marry you 1day,DONT BE STUPID.
And you think that if you left your husband and went out with that guy that you wouldn't argue with that guy at all and live happily ever after?
Don't divorce your husband because this guy could just be another guy who you may like to talk to but is not marriage material. He may make you feel good about yourself but that is never a recipe for marriage or even a relationship. He could be your friend but leave your married life to your husband.
Romance isn't self sustaining you have to work at it, and this new guy may seem awesome but you don't know him like you know your husband, you may see this new guy as a solution to the problem without actually realizing that your making him seem better than he actually is, because his flaws are in different places he only seems like he is the better choice, your blinded by lust, make sure you analyze your marriage first, just try too look at the situation clearly.
The key word is married. You made vows and commitments to each other, for better or worse. Marriage is difficult and the best things don't come easily. Work on your marriage, you're feeling vulnerable from the lack of communication between you and your husband. Talk to him about your concerns and be open with each other.
All I can say is don't do it, don't go there. It is a big mistake. I have never seen this go well.
I was married for 13 years. I stayed married because I just thought that we were okay and that it was unrealistic to expect more than okay. We barely had sex, didn't do much together but we also did not argue much. We were like roommates. Then, one day, a guy started showing me a lot of attention. All the things that I thought I did not need anymore came screeching back to me. I loved the attention and the fact that someone thought I was amazing. Luckily I found out he had huge problem fooling around (he was married too) and his attention had nothing to do with me or how "great" I was.
I used the experience to try and get my marriage back on track. I can say that at least I really tried that last year to get the spark back but it did not work. I divorced knowing I did my best and without the guilt of an affair. Put your energy back into your marriage and either make it work or end it. Oh, and any guy, no matter how great he feels at the moment, will eventually lose that aura of perfection. We are all human, even this guy will end up doing things you will argue about. That's life. Is it worth the guilt of an affair to test this theory?
You and your husband already have conflict with one another. This guy who you are falling for WILL definitely complicate matters between you and your husband, and worse, escalate the argument and put you in an emotionally very difficult situation. It would really help if you can provide us the nature of the conflict or the cause of the argument between you and your husband. If your husband is very domineering, controlling or doing something that really isn't good for you, leave. DO NOT ever put this other guy you are falling for as part of argument between you and your husband. Both of them are separate entities and don't get the new guy involved in the argument between you and your husband. Even more importantly, please do NOT go for this new guy as a way to escape the reality between you and your husband or as a void/outlet to make yourself feel better. It is very tempting and easy for a girl to develop feelings for another guy who is "the one there for a girl/lady who's in trouble". If this another guy still pursue you knowing that you are already a married woman (whether your marriage is on rocks or going well), he's not such a guy either.
Keep a clear head. Know and sort out what is really wrong with your marriage. Don't jump or run away from something just because it's easier. This other guy can only be your friend IF you can really draw a clear line of friendship between you and him. Otherwise, I suggest you get some help or confide to someone else other than him.
Even if there is a TINY spark still left in your marriage, a remote chance that you both can salvage what you have together...work on your marriage with all your heart and soul before calling it quits. Seek intervention with a QUALIFIED marriage counselor, attend a marriage retreat... Put your focus on saving your marriage and if for whatever reason you and your husband decide that you can no longer be together, then divorce. Only then should you pursue a relationship with the man you have started to develop feelings for. Leave this man alone until then. He's nothing more than a convenient distraction for you right now...you're vulnerable and he temporarily provides you with the joy/love/warmth/attention, etc you may be missing from your husband, but in the end, there's only heartache in store. Attempt to fix your marriage, end your marriage legally if that is what must be before complicating your life needlessly. Good luck.
Sometimes you get so use to someone that you appreciate them a bit less, you tend to find other people a bit more fascinating and exciting and start wondering what things would be like if you were with the other person. nobody wants to spend the rest of there life with the wrong person.
Try taking to your husband more and maybe try make you marriage more exciting.
and remember "you don't know what you got till its gone"
everyone argues it's healthy. maybe you could try confiding in a close female friend.
Try talking*
And this is why you should never get married.
No, this is why you shouldn't rush into freaking marriage. She's only in the range of 18 to 24 and already married. Too soon and I'll bet she only knew her husband for maybe a year or two at most. People rush into marriage these days. That's why so many fail.
You should be discussing how you feel with your husband. That guy is probably listening cause he knows your vunerable and he's trying to get some. It's always bad to confide your marital problems with the opposite gender unless they are related to you. Go talk to your husband, and remember the positive things in your marriage.
Have an opinion?

Champions Lille kept themselves in the Ligue 1 title race with victory at relegation-threatened Dijon this evening in a match which saw three players sent off. LOSC were a player down from the 36th minute, when Idrissa Gueye was sent off for violent conduct, but the visitors made light of their numerical disadvantage and notched twice before half-time through Rio Mavuba and Eden Hazard to seal the points.
Dijon defender Abdoulaye Meite evened up the numbers when he too was dismissed for violent conduct in the first minute of the second half and Bennard Yao Kumordzi followed suit 13 minutes from time - putting paid to the hosts' hopes of getting anything from the game.
The result was a fourth win in five games for Lille, and kept them seven points behind Montpellier with five games remaining following the leaders' 1-0 win over Valenciennes, while Dijon were left in 16th place and only a point above the drop zone.
Joe Cole was inches away from giving the visitors the lead in style in the third minute, the England midfielder latching on to Nolan Roux's pass and dispatching a shot on the turn just wide of the top-left corner. Hazard too went close early on, beating Samuel Souprayen down the left and cutting into the area before unleashing a shot which drifted just wide of the bottom-right corner.
Despite their early pressure, Rudi Garcia's side almost went behind in the 12th minute. Eric Bautheac found Brice Jovia, whose left-footed shot beat Lille goalkeeper Mickael Landreau but Franck Beria was in the right place to clear off the line. Lille's Mathieu Debuchy nearly caught Baptiste Reynet out with a cross-shot from out wide, the Dijon keeper looking on helplessly as the ball flew just over the bar.
Gueye was shown a straight red card nine minutes before the break following a tackle from behind on Jovial, but Lille's ten men nevertheless forged ahead three minutes later. Hazard picked out Mavuba, whose first-time show into the top corner gave Reynet no chance.
The clinching goal arrived on the stroke of half-time and again Hazard was at the heart of it. He controlled on the left side of the area before placing a sweet shot with the inside of his right foot beyond Reynet and into the bottom corner.
Meite's dismissal moments after the restart for a clumsy challenge on Roux ensured it was ten versus ten for most of the second period but, after a frenetic first half, the match tempo slowed and there were no further goals.
Dijon twice went close in the space of a minute, Koro Kone lashing over from a promising position following Bautheac's free-kick and then Benjamin Corgnet shooting straight at Landreau from just inside the area. The home team's frustration boiled over 13 minutes from time when Bennard Yao Kumordzi was sent off from a tackle from behind on Hazard.

The History of the Modern JCW Tuning Kits
This bit of information was part of the recent JCW press release from MINI UK but we felt it deserved it's own published post. It's a great way to take a look back at all the various JCW products throughout the years.
What's in a name?
John Cooper Works under the ownership of BMW Group
The Cooper name originates from John Cooper, an engineering legend inextricably linked to the golden age of British motor racing throughout the 1960's. With the introduction of new MINI in 2001, the Cooper name was reborn under the guidance of John's son Mike, who began developing aftermarket tuning kits for the new MINI at the original John Cooper premises in East Preston, West Sussex.
In December 2006 BMW Group acquired the rights from Mike to the John Cooper Works Brand. Early in 2007, this transaction became effective and gave BMW Group the opportunity to develop this sub-brand and strengthen the MINI brand and product range.
The deal was agreed with the then owners of the John Cooper Works brand and in 2008, Mike Cooper remains as a consultant on the BMW Group's John Cooper Works brand strategy. Mike has been involved in the design and production of the aftersales tuning kits available for the MINI Cooper S.
Although no longer producing their own tuning kits or accessories under the name John Cooper Works, Mike Cooper's Cooper Car Company develops and supplies car accessories for various other corporate clients. The Cooper Car Company supplies BMW AG with hardware components for the current MINI Hatch aftersales tuning kit as well as sports air filters and sports exhausts for the BMW 3 Series. These parts bear the name John Cooper Works or BMW Performance respectively.
No formal cooperation agreement exists between the Cooper Car Company and BMW AG but given the successful relationship forged between both parties, it is planned and desired that the Cooper Car Company will be a partner of BMW AG for many years to come.
John Cooper Works tuning and MINI since 2003
The John Cooper Works tuning brand is a developing MINI story. Prior to the launches of the Oxford-built MINI John Cooper Works and MINI CHALLENGE cars in 2008, a line of aftermarket tuning kits and factory-built models plot the history of John Cooper Works back to 2003. In 2008, close to four thousand John Cooper Works-tuned MINIs are on UK roads.

Royals held on to eighth place in the table over the weekend despite the postponement of their fixture at Doncaster Rovers on Saturday due to a frozen pitch.
It leaves McDermott's men seven points behind second-placed Southampton with a game in hand and a trip to the St Mary's to come in April.
And after boosting his squad with the signings of Jason Roberts, Matthew Connolly, Tomasz Cywka and Karl Sheppard in January, it seems McDermott is refusing to give up on automatic promotion.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's home clash against rock-bottom Coventry City (3pm), McDermott said: "Look at the squad, in the last 22 games we're top of the league.
"We took four points from the first 18 available, but we're top of the league since then. We're going in the right direction, The boys are doing really well.
"We've won eight games from the last 11 and we beat a decent Bristol City side last time out which was important.
"Southampton and West Ham are coming back towards the pack, which is good for everyone involved and for where we want to get to.
"The table has condensed. We were 17 points behind Southampton at one stage, now it's six points which is a lot better."
While leaders West Ham and Southampton may be looking over their shoulders, in-form Royals are determined to maintain their superb run of late.
They will be strong favourites to beat basement club Coventry City at home this Saturday and strengthen their promotion bid (3pm ko).
Sky Blues are marooned at the bottom and are seven points from safety after their survival hopes received another blow at the weekend in a last-gasp 3-2 home defeat by Ipswich Town.
Reading, on the other hand, look to be in excellent shape going into the run-in after new owner, 29-year-old Russian Anton Zingarevich, backed McDermott in the transfer market.
Royals pulled off a major coup by signing Blackburn Rovers striker Roberts, who duly scored on his debut in the Bristol City win.
And McDermott revealed he was also interested in signing Manchester City's Wayne Bridge, Blackburn Rovers' Keith Andrews plus Brighton striker Craig Mackail-Smith.
"We missed out on a couple who went to the Premiership, so we're talking about good players," he explained.
"We spoke about Wayne Bridge and he went to Sunderland. I spoke to his agent and to Man City, I think we could have done it. We'd have paid a small percentage of his wages, but that's gone now, he made his decision and good luck to him.
"Mackail-Smith would be very, very expensive. We investigate a lot of people, we didn't follow through on that one.
"I know Keith Andrews and his agent, we had a conversation but he had the opportunity to go to West Brom on a six-month deal in the Premiership.
"So we knew all the situations going on. Nicky Maynard went to West Ham for three-and-a-half years and a lot of money.
"I know all the players who are out there and I also look at the players we've already got, which is really important.
"Adam Le Fondre, Simon Church, Noel Hunt, Jason Roberts, Karl Sheppard - we've got strikers who can do it."

Award presentation slated for March 29 'Best of the Best' Showcase on Belmont's campus
Continuing a tradition of recognizing music industry greats who are also dedicated to the educational process, Belmont University's Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business will honor Gordon Kennedy with the sixth annual Robert E. Mulloy Award of Excellence on March 29. The award presentation, which will occur during the University's 2014 Best of the Best Showcase at Belmont's Curb Event Center, will feature special performances by Belmont students as well as Kennedy colleagues Peter Frampton and Ricky Skaggs. "Best of the Best" begins at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
In the spring of 2008, the Curb College established the Award of Excellence in memory of program founder Bob Mulloy to annually recognize an individual who has achieved a level of excellence in the music business and entertainment industries with notable service to Belmont University and the Nashville community.
Curb College Dean Dr. Wes Bulla said, "It's an honor for us to present the Robert E. Mulloy Award of Excellence to Gordon, who considers Bob one of his early mentors. Gordon has remained a long-time champion and unofficial spokesman for the Curb College and all things Belmont and has never said no to a favor that supports our students, faculty and programs."
Belmont alumnus and Curb College Board Chairman Doug Howard added, "I often say that Gordon Kennedy is a 'world class songwriter, musician, producer and performer. I need to add that he is a 'Heaven class' family man, friend and Christian brother. I know Bob Mulloy was extremely proud of Gordon's professional achievements. However, the latter traits are what Bob sought to instill in his students and are truly what matter most of all."
Born in Shreveport, La., Gordon Kennedy was raised in Nashville. Kennedy's parents—music industry A-Team heavy hitter Jerry Kennedy and singer Linda Brannon— moved to Nashville in 1961 to try their hands in the music industry. Throughout his upbringing, Kennedy's father played on albums for the likes of Bob Dylan and Ringo Starr, spent 16 years running Smash Records and won four Grammy Awards. Gordon followed suit, pursuing music and athletics throughout his high school career at Brentwood Academy.
While attending Belmont University, Kennedy played guitar for several Reba McEntire projects including "Today All Over Again" and her first No. 1, "Can't Even Get the Blues." He first became nationally recognized when he won the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1997 for Eric Clapton's No. 1 hit, "Change the World," which he co-wrote with Wayne Kirkpatrick and Tommy Sims.
A past member of bands WhiteHeart and Dogs of Peace, Kennedy has had his songs cut by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, George Strait and Martina McBride. He has also played for Peter Frampton, Jewel, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Little Big Town, and Amy Grant.
Past recipients of the Robert E. Mulloy Award of Excellence include Donna Hilley, the International Entertainment Buyers Association, Vince Gill, Mike Curb, Clair Audio and Bandit Lites.

columnBy Mikias Merhatsidk
It was 1969, the then Egyptian president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, the to-be president, Anwar Sadat, and the renowned Egyptian journalist and writer Mohammed Haikal were chatting in the Manrouh palace, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The to-be President Sadat said, according to historical records, "you see Nasser, you will leave a big challenge for the next Egyptian leader that comes after you because you have left him nothing significant to accomplish."
"You have got rid of the British and the king, you have built the greatest dam, you have pioneered pan-Arabism and changed the face of Egypt completely. I feel sorry for the poor guy that will follow you to the throne, because he will definitely be short of things to accomplish to impress his people."
Ironically, it was Sadat himself who got the dreaded job. Even though this is not exactly the case for the late Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, one can see some resemblance, as is the case for most successful revolutionaries.
But, this time around, the analogy between the two leaders goes a little further: both leaders passed before the inauguration of their flagship projects, the construction of the respective massive dams on the river Nile. And when we see the colossal grief that befalls up on the two nations after the unexpected death of their influential leaders, the similarity becomes uncanny.
Not surprisingly, though, not everybody shares this feeling. And this has passed to be a perfect example to show the widening political gap that seems to exist between the majority of population who reside locally and abroad.
The scale of the grief that followed the death of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi was unprecedented, and had even forced some observers to go as far as cynically depicting the huge turn out as 'a coalition of mourners". Even then, the overwhelming feeling of genuine grief and sense of appreciation that was present could not be denied by anyone.
The real question should have been why the sudden change of heart and why the population was not able to see Meles and his government in this light when he was alive and kicking.
Many may have taken him for granted; it has taken all these years before the efforts and achievements of their leader and his party finally start to sink in. Some may have also been waiting for the government to pass its greatest test yet, the peaceful and wisely handled transition of power, albeit intra-party.
The answers to these questions will clearly shade alight on the socio-political dynamics of the country and will finally give some clue about what kind of political being the curiously-complicated character that Habesha is. For the moment though, a consensus seems to be rising from the tomb of the late premier
The consensus is not only about the personal ability and intellectual caliber that he had and what he has strove to accomplish with it, but also on the socio-economic and political frame work that he and his party have been trying to install in the country for so long. The relative peace and security that the system was able to maintain, accompanied by the laser-like focus that the government sustained on economic development seems to be sinking in the somber mind of the populace.
Lately, the party has begun to capitalise on these traits. The eventless leadership change that it was able to accomplish has preserved the sense of nationwide stability and has further strengthened the union.
Indeed, the peaceful power transition is really outstanding for a country like Ethiopia, with a population of ninety million and more than 80 ethnic groups, located in the most unstable region of the world, where meddling in other nations' affairs is all but common.
The peaceful process and the unexpected outcome of this power transition have caught observers of the Ethiopian politics off guard. The country that has got used to chaotic and bloody struggles during power vacuums was able to enjoy the subsequent stability after its first peaceful power transfer in its modern history.
This achievement has become additional impetus for the growing national consensus regarding the political administration system of the country. Even those people, who were very suspicious of the federal system that the ruling-EPRDF has chosen, are starting to wonder whether it is the right way to go. For anybody who has analysed the metamorphosis that the major opposition parties have gone through from the early days of multiparty system in 1991 to the present, it is easy to see this coming.
The recent turn of events in the Ethiopian political scene can be seen as the last chapters of the Ethiopian political movement that has started in the 1960s. Most of the questions of this era, which has gone on for decades, more or less rotate around land, ethnic identity, power distribution, religious freedom and the type of political administration that the country should have.
At the moment though, these and other major questions of the old generation are either answered, have changed their dynamics or have become obsolete. From now on, the question will not be about what kind ofEthiopiato create but where to lead the country to.
A kind of government that arises from federalist way of political and economic administration seems to be the way forward. And the consensus that is growing around this framework seems to guarantee the end of Ethiopian politics. This, in turn, will herald the beginning of a civilised political dynamics with ideology, policy and a whole new set of issues at the fore front.
In the last half of the century, the country has seen enough turmoil it does not have more time to waste trying to redefine itself and pass through another lengthy political transition. It is high time for political closure.
This Ethiopian form of political establishment that is showing positive results in recent years can be copied by other nations of the region as well, with similar socio-political situation like ours. In fact,Somaliacan be the first country of the region to take advantage of this example, as it struggles to form its first functional government in decades.
In addition to this, the strictly secular constitution and government that is present will guarantee domestic stability and help establish peaceful and strong international relationship in this heterogeneous world. This is particularly manifested in the outstanding relationship thatEthiopiaenjoys with both theSudans.
The former secretary of state ofUnited States, Henry Kissinger, once said that "smart leaders can lead their countries well, but only when they are around; however, great leaders establish the system, institutions and prepare the next leaders for their nations to prosper further, even when they are not present." Certainly, the achievements of Meles, in this context, are mixed and may take some time to show outcomes, because much depends on what we will see in the future.
Yet, we can say he has created a favorable framework for the next leadership. This definitely has made the work of the present leaders relatively easy.
The umbrella political, economic and social framework of the nation is more or less outlined and the country seems to be moving in the right direction. Sure, the incumbent still has to work hard to solve the huge problems that the nation faces. Yet, most of these problems revolve around the economic development and resource distribution and can be dealt with using the already existing framework, of course, with some improvement.
More than ever, the present leaders are expected to be transparent and accountable to the public. They should also stump on the growing corruption, before it fully institutionalises itself.
Before anything, though, the incumbent must open up the political and economic fields of the country for private enterprises. The unprecedented popularity that the administration is enjoying should give it the necessary impetus. And many other issues related to living standard, poverty reduction and the rampant inflation are also expected to be given the proper attention.
But many of these issues can be addressed through technical and tactical decisions, without bothering about major strategic shift. It is clear that it will take time, hard work and determination to accomplish these goals. However, considering the situation that was when the past administration takes office, the incumbent can be considered lucky. The need for smart, visionary, pragmatic and democratic leadership to accomplish all this is ever evident, but the time for strong man leadership, where most of the nation's directions and policies rotate around a single mind seems to be gone. From now on and well into the foreseeable future, what the country needs is a good manager and an accommodating leader not a state creator or political wizard. There is no need to worry about finding a person that can fill Meles' shoe, it is not neccessary.
Apparently, it is a high time to audit Ethiopian politics. This is especially essential for the opposition, residing both locally and abroad.
Most politicians in the opposition are stuck at 1991 or 2005, not to mention those who still wonder around with the mindset of the 1960s. The recent developments in the country's politics show thatEthiopiais at a threshold of a new political era. The country seems to be changing for good and it is better to realise this sooner than later.
The opposition has to be aware of this evolving fact and must reinvent itself. Rejectionist politics and empty opposition will not work, afterwards.
The present needs of the people ofEthiopiaare very different from what they were 10 or 20 years ago. And the populace finally seems to be on the path of political maturity.
Only concrete ideas, clear and better options will persuade the existing electorate. Young leaders that can inspire their contemporaries and help answer the questions of their generation should take over the opposition. The old guards should step aside and let the leaders of the 21st century flourish.
On the other hand, the government must get out of its way in creating a favorable situation for the upcoming young politicians and play its dominant role in the realisation of civilised politics. And hopefully these young leaders will push Ethiopian politics to the next frontier and start the struggle for the sovereignty of the world's smallest minority: the individual.

The Bachelorette
Vienna Girardi Reacts To Rumor She Stormed Off Set Of Relationship Rehab Show
Try not to stagger back from shock, but folks are accusing Bachelor diva Vienna Girardi of being dramatic. For real!
In what actually sounds like a free plug for the show, TMZ is reporting that Vienna ripped off her mic and stormed off the set of Relationship Rehab, the new show she's been shooting with her Bachelor Pad Season 2 ex, Kasey Kahl. (Previous reports had the VH1 show called Couples Therapy, so it's not clear which title is final.)
To quote TMZ's report:
"Vienna and boyfriend Kasey Kahl were hammering out their issues on the show — but during a routine sit-down, sources close to production tell us, producers blindsided her ... bringing out Vienna's previous ex ... Lee Smith. In case you don't remember — Lee is the guy Vienna was allegedly sending flirty emails to while she was still engaged to 'Bachelor' winner Jake Pavelka. According to sources, Vienna had an emotional breakdown and walked off the show — screaming at producers that she 'hates' them. She hasn't been back since and the show has finished shooting."
It's not like it would be unheard-of for Vienna to storm off a set while talking about a past relationship. Remember her trainwreck TV special with Jake? She stormed off in tears, calling Jake the meanest person she's ever met in her life.
However, Vienna retweeted a headline about the new story: "Too funny. Watch and see what really happens. RT @My_Bachelorette: NEWS: @ViennaGirardi storms of 'Relationship Rehab.'"
Then she added: "To correct all rumors about the show: I didn't storm off the set, I didn't yell at producers & I knew my ex was coming (I called him)."
Whatever really happened, it sounds like another classic Vienna dramafest is headed our way. Will you be tuning in?

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. must face an 11-year-old gender discrimination lawsuit brought on behalf of workers in California after the U.S. Supreme Court barred a lawsuit representing Wal-Mart employees nationwide.
The U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of a nationwide class action for female workers suing Wal-Mart Stores Inc. doesn't foreclose the ability of employees to bring similar suits for many other types of claims against companies.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. female employees suing the retailer for back pay in the biggest private gender-bias case in U.S. history can proceed as a group on behalf of as many as 1 million women, an appeals court ruled.
Barclays Plc, after defeating an $11 billion lawsuit by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., seeks to dismiss the defunct firm's remaining claim for $500 million in allegedly unpaid bonuses.
More than 500 former and current female Wal-Mart Stores Inc. employees filed sex-discrimination claims with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, their attorneys said.
Costco Wholesale Corp. may be able to block women accusing it of gender bias from suing as a group because of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in a discrimination suit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Women who originally sued Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for sex discrimination on behalf of 1 million female co-workers across the U.S. amended their suit to cover bias claims of only workers in California.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a ruling that will mean new limits on class-action suits, ruled that Wal- Mart Stores Inc. can't be sued for discrimination on behalf of potentially a million female workers.
More than 100 Wal-Mart Stores Inc . workers paint a similar picture in sworn complaints about the company: Local managers made sexist decisions about promotions and pay, and top officials did nothing to stop them.
Kareem Serageldin, the ex-global head of Credit Suisse Group AG's CDO business charged in a bonus- boosting fraud tied to a $5.35 billion trading book, was surprised by the U.S. indictment since he has been cooperating with investigators for four years, his lawyer said.
"We have maintained all along that the Supreme Court's decision did not preclude us from seeking justice for the women of Wal-Mart."

Zesa Holdings has installed 55 000 prepaid meters in domestic premises countrywide since August last year as it battles to cover all its 600 000 customers in the next five months.
The power utility has also distributed more than 350 000 energy saver bulbs for free in Chitungwiza, Bulawayo and Gweru in the last two months.
Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company managing director Engineer Julian Chinembiri said the installation programme is progressing at a slow pace.
He said four companies, Solahart, ZTE, Finmark and Nyamazela are supplying the meters which are being installed in Harare, Chinhoyi, Bulawayo and Mutare.
Zesa plans to distribute over 5,5 million energy saver bulbs and save up to 200 megawatts daily.

Vertex Potentiator Continues to Climb Clinical Trial Ladder
VX-770, a compound in clinical trials designed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals to address a core defect in CF, has entered Phase 2 clinical testing and is currently enrolling approximately 36 adult volunteers with cystic fibrosis at more than a dozen care centers across the country. This trial studies the safety, tolerability and absorption rate of VX-770. Restoration of CFTR activity is also being studied. The compound, which belongs to a category of compounds called CFTR potentiators, is believed to partially restore CFTR protein function and increase the probability that the CFTR channel is open. VX-770 may allow for increased chloride transport across the cell surface, alleviating a fundamental problem in CF. The previous Phase 1 trial, completed in 2006, showed that the potential drug could achieve the expected levels in the blood.
Enzyme Replacement Therapy Enters Final Stage of Testing
Altus Pharmaceuticals has begun enrolling for its Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of its oral pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. This latest phase of clinical testing for ALTU-135 involves more than 300 patients at approximately 50 sites in the United States. Pancreatic insufficiency is found in approximately 90 percent of individuals with CF and the consequences are treated through the administration of enzymes that help patients to enhance digestion, improve growth, reduce gastrointestinal problems and contribute to general nutritional health. In a previous Phase 2 study, ALTU-135 was found to be well-tolerated and achieved statistically significant improvements in the absorption of fat and protein, as well as an overall improvement in the absorption of carbohydrates. If results from the Phase 3 trials are positive, Altus will file for Food and Drug Administration approval in the U.S.
Denufosol Phase 2 Results "Inspire" Initiation of Phase 3 Testing
Inspire Pharmaceuticals recently completed enrollment for a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of inhaled denufosol, which is designed to enhance the hydration and clearance of mucus in the lungs of patients with CF. The trial enrolled approximately 350 CF volunteers age 5 and older and is being conducted at nearly 100 care centers across the United States. This latest trial compares denufosol to a placebo in patients with mild CF lung disease. Inspire will soon open enrollment for a second international Phase 3 trial, which will include a limited number of U.S. sites. Results of a Phase 2 trial showed that patients receiving the study drug had significantly better lung function than those receiving a placebo. Denufosol targets insufficient chloride movement, a fundamental problem in CF, by stimulating the movement of chloride in and out of CF cells, thus circumventing the faulty CFTR protein channel.
