How much child support will I have to pay? How much child support will my ex-spouse have to pay? These are common questions that need to be answered so that you can prepare for the future after divorce or separation. The calculation of child support is complicated. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you consult an attorney to make sure that you do not shortchange yourself. Continue reading

Your 14-year-old daughter shows up on MySpace in a bikini. Her 13-year-old friend is wearing a miniskirt that might make Britney Spears blush. Time to panic? Not necessarily.
Wearing short-shorts and belly shirts, grinding to hip-hop hits, and posting provocative pictures of themselves on the Internet -- the behavior of many teen and tween girls has parents wondering if their daughters are bound for a lifetime of promiscuity and loose morals.
But some psychologists and child-development specialists believe nothing about the teenage drama has really changed. While young women may express their sexuality more overtly than they have in the past, for the most part, their behavior isn't cause for alarm. It's a necessary step in growing up.
Looks can be deceiving. A girl who puts a seductive picture of herself on the Internet for all to see may shudder at the thought of striking the same pose in front of her peers.
"There's a difference between posting a picture of yourself in virtual space, like Myspace or YouTube or Friendster, and posing in provocative clothing in public," said John Broughton, Columbia University professor of psychology and education.
Similarly, sexy clothes do not beget sexual activity.
Jaana Juvonen, who studies the development of middle and high school students at UCLA, said that because girls hit puberty earlier now than they did decades ago, they're tempted to mimic the appearance of their older peers. That doesn't mean they're engaging in acts that ought to be beyond their years.
"Many girls might look very differently from how they act," she said. "We should not judge them based on what they look like."
Nor should adults assume that teenagers are having sex because their style of dancing or taste in music suggests it.
According to LynNell Hancock, a Columbia University journalism professor who covers the youth beat, bumping and grinding to today's sultry songs no more reflects what teens do off the dance floor than grooving to Jimi Hendrix or Elvis Presley did in the past.
"Moving your hips in the suggestive way that Elvis was doing made adults think that we were hopping into bed with everything that moved," she said, reflecting on her teenage years. "And of course that wasn't the case -- it was just another case of expressing sexuality."
While young women may come off as sexier than ever before, sexual activity among teens is on the decline.
A study by the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit organization that researches sexual and reproductive health, found that teenagers today wait longer to have sex than they did in the past -- the proportion of teenage girls who had ever had sex declined from 49 percent in 1995 to 46 percent in 2002.
For teens, sometimes the meaning behind a scanty outfit is no more substantial than the clothing itself. Hancock believes that striking a sexy pose may be an extension of childhood -- just like playing princess or astronaut. It allows teens to escape their everyday lives and play in a realm removed from reality.
"Adults think that kids take everything literally -- if [teens] pose in a bikini, they're suddenly sexually active," she said. "It's odd that adults who are supposed to think more conceptually are thinking so concretely."
To paraphrase Will Smith's 1990s teenage anthem, sometimes parents just don't understand.

'Grumpy Cat' Inspires Wonderfully Grumpy Fan Art
We were first introduced to 'Grumpy Cat' a few weeks back, when her hilarious scowl face went viral. Of course this begs the question, "why so grumpy lady kitty?" Maybe "Tard" (the cat's real name) likes being known as the cat with a permanent case of the kitty cat blues. Or maybe she's just ticked her owner keeps sticking a camera in her face. Either way, Tard has gained an impressive fan base.

Maybe it's the $2,000 wig, maybe it's that we wound up using some really old makeup we found under the sink (thanks, Sandy), but something makes celebrity Halloween costumes seem more glamorous than ours. Here are just a few of our favorites from this year. And yes, that is Ellen DeGeneres dressed up as Sofia Vergara. And Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj. Apparently this year famous people decided that the scariest thing is themselves.

Could it get much better?! Surprisingly, yes.

Jon Lester injury mars Red Sox' win
Jon Lester injury mars Red Sox' win
There were two good reasons to tune in to tonight's game.
The red-hot Blue Jays were in town and the Red Sox had ice-cold Jon Lester on the mound.
A reversal of fortune was in store for one of the two and that's how it played out, the Red Sox winning, 7-4.
The victory, however, was tarnished by an injury to Lester, who pitched very well for his first seven innings only to sustain an injury throwing a pitch in the eighth.

VH1 News caught up with Estelle and Big Sean at the mostly drama-free Here I Am launch party, and the discussion turned to the late Amy Winehouse, whom Estelle knew from the London club circuit. (She'd told Sway, "I cried for about two days," when she appeared on his Shade 45 morning show earlier that day.)
"She sang from her soul," Estelle told VH1 News, as Big Sean looked on. She recalled first hearing "F?k Me Pumps," from Winehouse's debut Frank: "I'm sitting there, like, 'I know girls like that! I know every one of 'em girls! We rave with them every week!'" Clearly, even though the two singers came up together, Estelle admired her late friend's lyrical talents. "It's hard as an artist to be that clear and that clean in your message and what you're talking about," she said. "[Amy Winehouse] was the only one I knew who could do that, and just speak it." The real revelation of the interview, though, is the new level of appreciation that Big Sean develops for Winehouse as Estelle speaks. "Wow! That's crazy! I didn't know it was like that," he said, admiringly, adding, "I didn't personally know her. That's real, man. She sounded like a real G. No, seriously!" (Anyone who needs a reminder of her realness need only watch her shocked gratitude at winning the Grammy for Record of the Year. WARNING: That video nearly made us cry at work?and we watched the ceremony live.)
The sad news of the day also came up when VH1 News spoke to Gavin Rossdale yesterday. Like Big Sean, he didn't know her personally, but he remarked that "It was really hard to not love her from when you first saw her." His appreciation for her music is undeniable in the interview. "I remember that [2008] Grammy performance?the way that she shimmied onstage and just sang," he recalled, contrasting Winehouse's retro stylings with "the pop spectacle of the dances and the sets and the upside-down cars." He shared Estelle's love of Winehouse's "realness" on Frank. "She's so feisty, and outspoken, and just irreverent, in a time when people weren't as interesting as that." Amen to that.

By way of introduction, The Psychotic Advisor
is the founder of the International Neurotic Media Empire and Animal Shelter. He is the leader of the Great Why Botherhood,
a semiretired superhero, apolitical pundit, national insecurity specialist, apathy advocate, celebrity misinformation advisor,
lifelessness coach, motivational deprogrammer, anti-corporate shill thrill killer, and media consultant.
He also produces a line of hand signed, limited edition giclée
To check on availability or to see more, click here.
Then why should I ask for his advice?
(Why indeed?) Because you're a grownup. You're capable of making your own decisions.
You shouldn't smoke either, but millions of people do. You shouldn't cheat on your taxes, but millions of people do.
If nothing else, advice from a psychotic will give you a different perspective.
Is it free?
Most of the time it is. Sometimes lengthy, personal consultations may require a modest
payment, but you will never encounter hidden fees or be charged without your knowledge and permission.
Is it free?
How does he make any money at it?
He doesn't. Even in today's ruthlessly greedy environment, it's comforting to know that
some people still do things in the spirit of public service. The Psychotic Advisor does have a real job that supports his
lavish lifestyle, but he loves to get email, and loves to offer advice when he hears from you.
How does he make any money at it?
Is the Psychotic Advisor really psychotic?
Although the Psychotic Advisor has never been officially diagnosed by any medical professional,
those who know him best have no doubt. In the words of Krishnamurti, "It is no sign of good health to be well-adjusted
to a sick society." If this is true, then the Psychotic Advisor might very well be the sanest man
on Earth!

What's your story?

Protecting Stuff in Your Car
Window-Shopping Car Thieves are Powerless to Stop Home Insurance!
People leave stuff in their cars every day. We drop our cell phones in the cup holder, leave a bag on the floor, and throw our golf clubs in the back seat. We're human, so we forget about this stuff, park, and go inside. It happens. The thing is, sometimes when we come back to our cars, the things we left aren't where we left them.
So what if you didn't know that your Homeowners' insurance could cover things stolen from your car too?
Some Homeowners' insurance policies treat your car as an extension of your house. That means your personal property coverage would protect almost anything (purses, luggage, camera equipment, electronics…all kinds of things) stolen from your car. This coverage may even be better than what's offered by comprehensive car insurance! For instance, did you know comprehensive coverage usually doesn't cover jewelry, clothing, and accessories kept in your car?
So if you're prone to leaving your jacket, watch, or cell phone in the car…it may be something to look into.
Speak to your agent to learn the extent of your Homeowners insurance coverage, and make sure your limits protect your stuff inside and outside your home.

Electronic pull tabs have not done so well and that means electronic bingo will be under a microscope of scrutiny.
E-bingo started two weeks ago and state officials say there are now 73 locations using it and they are all linked together statewide.
It is still too early to tell how the e-bingo game will do, but there is one place in St. Paul that tells 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the game has drawn some interest.
Sherwood's Lounge was one of the first spots to put in the new e-bingo machines.
Paulette Klinger runs the games and says there has been some interest in e-bingo because it is something new.
So far, Klinger says, people seem to like how the game works, but the jackpots are pretty small.
Klinger says when more games are linked in new locations across the state more people will play the game because there will be bigger jackpots.

Construction of Three-Phase Motors
Construction Electrician Basic - Electricity handbook for electricians
Dual-Voltage Wye Motor
Figure 7-41.Three-phase wound rotor.
rotor (fig. 7-41) has a winding on the core that is
connected to three slip rings mounted on the shaft.
The end bells, or brackets, are bolted to each end of
the stator frame and contain the bearings in which the
shaft revolves. Either ball bearings or sleeve bearings
are used for this purpose.
Connecting a three-phase motor is a simple
operation. All three-phase motors are wound with a
number of coils, with a 2-to-1 ratio of slots to coils.
These coils are connected to produce three separate
windings called phases, and each must have the same
number of coils. The number of coils in each phase
must be one-third the total number of coils in the stator.
Therefore, if a three-phase motor has 36 coils, each
phase will have 12 coils. These phases are usually
called Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C. All three-phase
motors have their phases arranged in either a wye
connection or a delta connection.
A wye-connected three-phase motor is one in which
the ends of each phase are joined together paralleling
the windings. The beginning of each phase is connected
to the line. Figure 7-42 shows the wye connection.
A delta connection is one in which the end of each
phase is connected in series with the next phase. Figure
7-43 shows the end of Phase A connected to the
beginning of Phase B. The end of Phase B is connected
to the beginning of Phase C, and the end of Phase C is
connected to the beginning of Phase A. At each
connection, a wire is brought out to the line.
Figure 7-42.Star, or wye, connection.
Most small- and medium-sized three-phase motors
are made so that they can be connected for two voltages.
The purpose in making dual-voltage motors is to enable
the same motor to be used in facilities with different
service voltages. Figure 7-44 shows four coils which, if
connected in series, may be used on a 460-volt ac power
Figure 7-43.Delta connection.
7-44.Four 115-volt coil connected in series to
produce 460 volts.

Zack Ryder's rise in the WWE has been unparalleled. Never before has someone used social media to their advantage the way Zack Ryder did in 2011 with his web series Z! True Long Island Story. Zack got himself over with the fans despite not appearing on weekly WWE Television, and had them filling arenas with chants of "We Want Ryder" on cards that he wasn't even a part of. His method has been copied, but his success online has yet to be matched by any other superstar, making him the Undisputed Internet Champion and Social Media Darling.
Now anyone who has read my columns knows that I am not a fan of leaving things unfinished or unresolved, and that I hate leaving any questions unanswered in a narrative. I truly believe it is lazy storytelling to leave loose ends. So naturally I have a huge problem with the way that Zack Ryder has been booked this year. Not only have all the narratives that his character participated in been left unresolved, but the way Zack's story has been presented makes him look like timid simpleton, unable to stand up for himself. Zack deserves more than that, but more importantly we the fans deserve more than the unfinished story they have provided us.
This week's edition of A Matter of Character will analyze the character of Long Island Iced Z, Zack Ryder. I will highlight his strengths, and point out any weaknesses I perceive in his character. Following my analysis, I will suggest any ways to improve or help the character progress in future narratives. Let's Do This!
While not possessing one of the WWE's most impressive physique's, at 6'2, 214 lbs, Zack Ryder is in great physical shape. Aesthetically, Long Island Iced Z has a pretty unique look that sets him apart from the other superstars on the roster. His spiked blonde hair, coupled with his brightly colored ring gear and trademark headband is part of what helps him makes a lasting impression on the WWE Universe.
Zack's prowess in between the ropes is slightly above average. He can hold his own in the ring with just about anyone, but the quality of his matches usually depends on the quality of his opponent's ability within the squared circle. Against a talented performer like Dolph Ziggler, Zack can put on a great show, but against weaker superstars, the match will leave a lot to be desired. Zack doesn't need to be a masterful in ring technician as he is naturally very charismatic. His focus should be on telling a story during his matches, despite the opponent. Zack could go a long way by selling us with his expressions, pacing, and choices, during his bouts. On a side note, I absolutely detest his Rough Rider finisher. I don't mind it as a maneuver in his repertoire, but it shouldn't be his finisher.
For all intents and purposes, Zack Ryder is a nerd, a dweeb, a dork, or any other adjective you can think of that means incredibly geeky. Everything he says or does makes him come across like a wrestling fanboy. That being said, the total sincerity of dorkiness, his unwavering confidence, and the fact that he seems to be totally aware of how nerdy he is being during his YouTube show, is endearing. Unfortunately, he also happens to be a moron, unwilling or incapable of standing up for himself on WWE Television, which blatantly undermines any endearment the self-aware fanboy attitude he displays online would bring him.
He is the manifestation of the WWE's "Be A Star Campaign" within their weekly TV and should be utilized as such. He is a guy that is so easy to pick on and make fun of, but he knows who he is, he likes who he is, and isn't going to change for anyone. He should stand up for himself more often, rather than constantly being beaten or used and then tossed aside.
Words and Actions
Zack can be wildly charismatic and funny on his web show "Z! True Long Island Story" but as I stated above, Zack Ryder's words and actions on WWE Television are those of a spineless moron. Am I supposed to feel sympathy for a character that has fallen for Eve twice this year, only to be screwed over both times (Guess he's never heard "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me")? Am I supposed to root for a guy that let Kane get away with trying to maim him on more than one occasion? These are the actions of an imbecile, and I honestly refuse on principle to cheer someone who is portrayed to be this half-witted and submissive.
I understand that his character is supposed to be a fun loving goofball, but right now he's more like a timid dumbass. He should be feuding with Kane right now after what Kane did to him, as any other character would. He should want some kind of retribution against Eve after how she embarrassed him at Wrestlemania. He should want to regain the U.S. Championship that he lost when he was forced to compete injured. The fact that he is not in passionate pursuit of one, if not all of these things illustrates that Zack Ryder as currently constituted is simply not a character, but a prop that has been used to further the character's of others.
They used him as a prop in the Kane/Cena feud, they used him as a prop to turn Eve heel, and he continues to appear on WWE television, seemingly unaffected by any of these events he took part in. The fact that none of these ordeals have caused him to take action or speak out against those that targeted him only prove that Zack Ryder has no character, and is simply a ineffectual gimmick or prop. Zack needs to be more confident and assertive in his dealings on WWE Television. He needs to have thoughts and feelings that cause him to take action and speak up when he feels he must. Basically Zack Ryder should start acting like a REAL F***ING PERSON!
If you watch WWE Television, it would seem as though Zack Ryder lacks any goals and is devoid of purpose. He simply meanders through Raw and Smackdown each week without motivation, which is extremely frustrating because he should have at least three immediate goals based on his recent interactions: get revenge against Kane, recapture the U.S. Championship, and even the score with Eve. Choose one WWE! It really is that simple.
As far as his overall motivation goes, Zack always having been that nerdy wrestling fan growing up, wants to prove that he can make it in the WWE without compromising who he is, which a fun, dorky, goofball. He loves the business, and has had to fight and claw his way to being noticed, because he isn't conventional. Other wrestlers don't take him seriously and a lot of them don't believe he can make it or that he belongs in the WWE, and he needs to prove that despite his nerdy demeanor, he is a formidable wrestler and deserves to be living his dream as much as anyone else in the WWE. Zack wants to be able to do what he loves to do, but stay true to himself in the process, which is easier said than done.
Aside from all the feuds he could be in based on his activity leading up to Wrestlemania XXVIII, conflict for Zack comes from trying to remain true to himself, and not compromising who he is to match anyone else's conventions, or idea of what he should be. There will be times where if he simply gave in, things would be easy for him. He'd struggle, as any human would, with what to do when those predicaments arise. He'd experience moments of self-doubt and insecurity, and we would tune in each week to see if he can continue to be himself in the WWE, or if he'll eventually need to adapt to survive.
Going Forward
I almost changed this section to looking back for Zack Ryder. Zack should have face Kane at Wrestlemania and Extreme Rules instead of Randy Orton, but I digress. If I were working for the WWE, and I had creative control of Zack Ryder, a superstar with a lot of charisma and fan support, my main objective over the next few months would be to get him his balls back from Eve, because in my opinion, that storyline more than any other has castrated Zack, and made him look foolish and weak. Fortunately, having her in a position of power as part of John Laurinaitis' regime is perfect.
With Eve as Executive Administrator, Zack taking her on is an act of rebellion against authority, which the WWE Universe will eat up. She can use her new position to screw with Zack, and Zack can get his balls back by insulting, one-upping, and from time to time embarrassing her. In a way, this could become a 2012 version of Jericho vs. Stephanie McMahon (but obviously with a less talented protagonist because let's face it, Jericho is much better than Ryder).
There are so many developments their distain for one another could create over a long period of time. Have Eve pit him against Kane, thinking that will get rid of Ryder for good, and finally resolve Kane and Ryder's issues from earlier this year, with Ryder getting his redemption against the Big Red Monster. You could have Ryder start dating a new diva, which would annoy Eve and makes her jealous, at which point she'd try to win Ryder back, and break him and his new girlfriend up, just because she's a colossal bitch. Have Ryder pretend to go along with it, and then embarrass her in front of the WWE Universe somehow.
Eventually have it culminate in Eve pitting Ryder, The champion of the Internet and Social Media, against the Enlightened Damien Sandow. These two men couldn't have more opposing ideologies to begin with; Sandow hates everything that Zack stands for as Internet Champion, and Zack hates Sandow's elitist, smug attitude. That along with Zack's established history with Eve would make this one of the most heated mid-card rivalries in years.
There you have it, but what do you think? Is Zack Ryder currently a spineless, moronic prop used by the WWE to further other superstars' development? Would you like to see a Zack Ryder that actually stands up for himself? Would Long Island Iced Z vs. Executive Administrator Eve be the new Y2J vs. Stephanie "The Filthy, Dirty, Disgusting, Brutal, Bottom Feeding Trashbag Hoe" McMahon?
Until next time folks, I'm Matty J. Douglas saying start the summer off right and go see Marvel's Avengers! Like right now! Have a great week everybody!

Every human being has insecurities. No one is perfect. This is not a crime, or we would all be up for some form of punishment. The extent of our insecurities however differs from one person to the other. Speaking generally, men and women behave and think differently, insecurities can arise for both. Also, everyone benefits from compliments; sincere ones have the potential to move relationships at any level forward and to build trust and security.
Some of us have small insecurities while others have whoppers. The problem however is not so much with our insecurities, but with how we manage them.
Most women, no matter how they present themselves to the outside world, have a few nagging insecurities - especially when it comes to dating. Indeed, the dating world can be rough, and while men also have their share of insecurities, they tend to stress about very different things.
Women tend to worry a lot when it comes to dating or being in a relationship. Some of these worries include: the fear that the man may not ring her after a date, the fear that the man just wants to sleep with her, there is also the fear or insecurity that the man is dating another woman.
Sometimes, as a woman, I think men have an insatiable urge to look at and want other women different from their wives or partners. They don't seem to be satisfied with the looks of one woman. Unfortunately, every time they steal a glance at another woman, to the knowledge of their own woman, the feelings of envy and insecurity run wild in the heads of their women. However, our anxiety and insecurity about our looks evoke a number of points. The first is that attraction and chemistry between two people is seldom comprised exclusively of facial features or body dimensions.
The 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder' truism dictates that physical appeal cannot be reduced to a science or logic. This is common for young men who are seeking a partner. To them good looks are all too frequently top priority items. Ironically, the end product of their search which, in my opinion, belies any approximation to what they initially insisted they must have. It proves to me over and over again, that an objective definition of beauty is as elusive as reducing the essence of all people to one given formula. Beyond any doubt, the saying "different strokes for different folks" rings true every time.
Aside from the physical attributes of women, there are the unquantifiable components of personality - attitudes, sense of humor, spirit, vivaciousness, body language, refinement, character, etc - these are all major factors in the definition of looks, although not readily visible to the naked eye until a deeper knowledge of each other takes place. Indeed, these attributes should give those who possess them some level of security.
Consider the common experience of a first impression, the initial glimpse of a person who at first blush may strike us as less than beautiful, but after greater exposure and expanded knowledge of the person we cannot even remember how we could have thought him or her to be anything but captivating.
The reverse is true as well, that of a physically striking individual whose appeal totally disappears as we come to realize that they are bereft of heart, soul, personality or brains!
Sometimes, the way we handle our insecurities could lead to other interpretations of our actions, for example, in a not too recent Big Brother show in the UK which caused a huge furore both in the UK and internationally over allegations of racism and bullying, it appeared that there were three very insecure young women attempting to deal with their insecurities by tormenting another young, but older woman different from them in every wayŌĆ"class, comportment, education, wealth and finally ethnicity or colour if you like which gave rise to allegations of racism.
My advise to ladies is to direct your attention inward, take stock of your own personal God given or cosmetic enhanced assets, look deep inside yourself, to find the root of your insecurity. Clearly, looks alone can never be the basis of an ongoing successful relationship. Indisputably, all that glitters is not necessarily gold. By definition, all that is purely physical wanes with time, and dedicating one's life and efforts to the maintenance of youth and beauty (face lifts and cosmetics notwithstanding), will ultimately prove futile. Hence, if physical beauty is the exclusive criteria and basis for a relationship, it is doomed from the outset. For a relationship to succeed, your sense of self-esteem must flow from inside, from inner substance. You need to feel good about yourself. My friends usually tell me that I love myself too much. True, I have a very high sense of self worth. This vital attitude can be generated only by doing things that are enduring and respectable. See yourself as a worthy human being, giving, contributing, learning, becoming, and making a difference. Only then you won't be so vulnerable and dependent on the opinion and the approval of others, and perhaps, more importantly, you will feel yourself worthy of your friends, relatives, partner's or spouse's permanent attention.
A healthy sense of self worth, borne out of an emotional and intellectual journey, is the best antidote to the insecurities that might threaten one's equilibrium. There are times that outside intervention - i.e. Psychologist, a good friend or relative - might be helpful in charting a positive direction towards self-esteem. Before one can love another person, they must fist love and believe in themselves. Charity begins at home!

Using Viglink is an easy way to generate revenue with your site
Viglink Automatically affiliates the links in your content so you get paid when your readers click or make a purchase. For example, one of your forum members posts a link to eBay, Amazon or more then 30,000 other companies, and you get paid when others click on those links and buy something! VigLink does not change the user experience at all — it's pretty much invisible to the average visitor.
VigLink produces income from links your members post that weren't earning you income before. So regardless of whether you didn't realize an affiliate program existed… or your site was rejected by the program administrator… or your affilliate status terminated due to Nexus Laws… or, you're just too lazy to sign up and post links… you can still earn a sizable chunk of every sale you help produce. Your members go on about things as they always have.
Who does Viglink work with? Over 30,000 companies from big-name merchants to smaller niche stores are covered. Companies such as eBay, Amazon, Target, Wal Mart, NewEgg and many more!
Viglink is also easy to install. You get a small bit of code that you place in your footer. That's it. Your done!
I myself have used Viglink for many years. The revenue I have generated has been fantastic, rivaling and sometimes outperforming Google Adsense.
And there are ways to push the envelope and help generate even more revenue. For example. Valentines Day is coming. Make a post reminding your members that Valentine's day is coming and they should order flowers for their wife or girlfriend. Then just place a link to flowers.com or 1-800-flowers.com in the post. Done! You'll earn a commission on anything ordered from that link. Same thing for Christmas and many other holidays. For christmas I like to start around October and point out nice gifts for kids that are on sale. I'll link to the product and bingo, im making money!
Here is a Video explaining:
Vigllink also has a second service available called LinkWeaver. This service takes keywords in your content and turns them into a link that can then be clicked and monetized. A way to make even more money! This is a higly configurable feature that allows you to do things like only show these links to guests and not members, if you wish.

American Idol
American Idol 2013 Finale: Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson to Perform?
The American Idol finales are usually known to be quite an event, with live performances, duets, and even the occasional comedy skit. This year's finale is already shaping up to be something special, as Jennifer Lopez has been confirmed to perform. If the rumors from The Hollywood Reporter are true, Idol alums Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson could be on tap as well.
It would be surely be interesting to see J-Hud take the Idol stage, especially considering her remarks earlier in the season that the show should go out on top.
There hasn't been any confirmation on whether Lazaro Arbos will get his duet with Cher, as he commented on during his exit interview. We can be fairly sure he'll forget a lyric or two during the group numbers, though. D'oh!
The duets are probably the best part of the night, and it will be amazing to see which artists get paired with Kree Harrison, Angie Miller, and Candice Glover.
Mark your calendars for the two-night event, which will take place on May 15 and 16 on FOX as a live broadcast from L.A.'s Nokia Theatre.
News of more live performances will surely trickle in over these next few days, so make sure to check back to get the scoop on the American Idol 2013 finale.

So you think you've discovered the next best thing after sliced bread because you've learned how to gamble at a casino online? How about sharing the joys of this amazing pastime with your friends and family AND make some money in the process?
Bonuses and promotions abound at many a casino online, and these range from generous welcome bonuses to regular specials that see you enjoying top prizes and cash back offers. But if you scroll a little bit down the casino promotions page, you'll find rewards for referring friends to the online casino similar to online poker room promotions. These promotions work in the same way that most bring-a-buddy systems do - all you need to do is provide the online casino with your friend's email address and information about the site will be sent. After that, you'll be rewarded with cash or bonus points if your friend opens an account at the site and plays for real money.
Some online casinos will allow you to open your own private gaming room and invite your friends to play. For every buddy that you bring into the gaming room, you'll be rewarded - and you get the added advantage of playing great quality online casino games with people that you know and like!
If you have a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, this may be a great way to complement your casino online account funds, and also do your bit for mankind by spreading the word about the fun times there are to be had at your favorite gaming site!

Wozniak Not Alone In Fearing Patent Wars
Professor Mark Lemley's academic work is mentioned in the following article by Brian Corrigan of the Financial Review.
Whereas one might imagine the high-stakes battle for supremacy in the technology industry being won and lost in the research laboratory, it is increasingly looking like a crack team of lawyers beats a battery of boffins every time.
Patents have become a crucial strategic weapon in skirmishes between technology giants including Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung Electronics as they battle for control of lucrative smartphone and tablet computer markets.
So is the patent system broken? A number of commentators have written books on the subject in recent year including The Patent Crisis and How Courts Can Fix It by Dan Burk and Mark Lemley (2009) and Innovation and Its Discontents: How Our Broken Patent System is Endangering Innovation and Progress, and What to Do About It by Adam Jaffe and Josh Lerner (2008).

Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)
