text: Enquirer: John Edwards Punched Elizabeth Pal: Edwards hit cancer-stricken wife in 'marriage-ending' fight By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Feb 4, 2010 2:37 AM CST | Updated Feb 4, 2010 5:40 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (33) (Newser) – John Edwards hit his wife in a "horrific marriage-ending fight" over the Christmas holidays, according to the National Enquirer. "Elizabeth told me the argument became so heated with John striking her," a friend of Elizabeth's tells the tabloid. "He forcefully punched her in the ribs." The fight was the final straw that pushed Elizabeth to end the pair's 32-year marriage, according to the source, who the Enquirer says passed a lie-detector test. "She has the divorce papers drawn up, but she can amend them to charge John with domestic violence," the source says. Another source noted that Elizabeth sometimes physically attacked her husband, slapping and shaking him when they fought over his affair with Rielle Hunter.

Recently, our refrigerator quit working. I sighed as I thought of having to replace my refrigerator. After sitting on the phone for 30 minutes with my appliance manufacturer, and getting to the wrong department, I finally asked for a referral from one of my neighbors, and called a local appliance repair company, who was able to set up the appointment for the next day.
The repairperson, also the owner of the company, came out to my house, analyzed our refrigerator and repaired it without a problem. During the process, we started talking about the future. I asked him how his business was faring this year. He said it was doing pretty well, and we talked about how with the economy, more people were repairing what they have instead of replacing their appliances and household items. (I could see his point, and was glad to have paid $190 for repairs instead of $1100 for a new refrigerator!)
He also mentioned that he could actually use two additional people, but that he wasn't going to hire them right now because he didn't know what the future would bring. He said that he was comfortable enough with where he was and that he could keep on going at the same rate and support his family, even though he really wanted to expand the business.
I got to thinking: that's two people and two families who don't have the opportunity to earn an income now because of this indecision. If you multiply that times 1000 businesses, it's no wonder we're stuck in this economy. We don't like the direction we're going in, but we're too afraid to change anything.
Does the football coach instill fear in the minds of his team when they take the field because the headlines say how much the opposing team will dominate? The answer is no. True leadership will build confidence based on the ability that the team has.
How many times do we hear the words fear, confusion, consumer confidence or other words in today's media or conversations? Are these words of doubt holding you back in your business or in your community? What are you doing about it?
We're waiting for times to get better, instead of making them better right now.

The term mucormycosis encompasses a distinctive group of infections caused by fungi belonging to genera within the taxonomic order Mucorales, usually Rhizopus, Absidia, Mortierella, and Mucor. These fungi are widespread in nature, subsisting on decaying vegetation and diverse organic materials. Although the fungi and spores of Mucorales show minimal intrinsic pathogenicity toward normal persons, they can initiate aggressive and fulminant infections under certain clinical conditions. Ketoacidotic diabetics are predisposed to rhinocerebral mucormycosis, whereas patients with leukemia or lymphoma are susceptible to pulmonary or disseminated infections. These infections, which often result in devastating long-term sequelae for surviving patients, pose difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Bangkok City Hall on Wednesday gave vendors at Tha Tian and Tha Chang another four weeks to move to other sales venues arranged by the administration.
Pol Mai Gen Wichai Sangprapai, an advisor to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, said the deadline was extended from Aug 4 to Aug 31 at a meeting with about 300 vendors, police and executives of Phra Nakhon district office.
City Hall agreed to the extension after the vendors asked for more time to prepare for relocation and continue business at four BMA-arranged spots in Thewes market, Sanam Luang 2 market, Talat Phlu market and a market in front of Rat Burana district office.
Pol Mai Gen Wichai said there were about 500 old and new vendors in the Tha Tian and Tha Chang areas who had erected stalls on footpaths for a long time. Violators would be arrested immediately after the Aug 31 deadline, he said.
The BMA has launched a campaign to tidy footpaths and improve the landscape around historic Rattanakosin Island to restore beauty to the area as part of the cultural heritage of Bangkok. It would consider later what spots would be allowed for vendors to operate from after the task is done.
"I understand the vendors' grievances, but the BMA must keep the city tidy and in order," Pol Mai Gen Wichai said. "I believe they will understand and cooperate because footpaths are public spaces for everyone to use, not for someone to occupy and make personal gains."
The BMA adviser said street vendors on Ramkhamhaeng Road had been cooperative with authorities and he would go there on Monday to thank them.
Vendors occupying footpaths at Tha Phra Chan, Silom, Major Ratchayothin, Pratunam and CentralWorld shopping complex will be targeted next, he added.

Over 1,000 participants and spectators came to Liberty State Park Flag Plaza to show their support for the hundreds of burn survivors injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, and other veterans who have not received the benefits and care that they deserve. Fifty Purple Heart recipients, burn survivors, and supporters braved the cold weather and swift currents of the New York Harbor. They rode hydrobikes as they passed Ellis Island and pedaled around the Statue of Liberty. They then returned to land to hear Congressman Albio Sires, E. Hani Mansour, MD., Director of the Burn Center at St. Barnabas Medical Center, and BAN President Samuel Davis address the serious issues facing our veterans. By raising awareness about the plight of these veterans, BAN hopes to increase funding that is desperately needed for programs offering support and rehabilitation. Sam Davis believes that "making the fair treatment of wounded combat veterans must become a national priority."
These veterans have bravely and honorably served our nation and we must never turn our back on them"
– Congressman Albio Sires
As a burn survivor, I look forward to volunteering at burn camp. After being burned in Iraq, my recovery has been difficult and at times frightening. I look forward to working with kids and helping them overcome the obstacles that I faced. I am the best messenger to convince kids that there is life after burns."
- Staff Sergeant Chris Edwards
Performing for Burn Survivors and Veterans was very special for me. It is my way of saying thanks to some very brave people for a bunch of things we always take for granted"

Mr. Chairman, It is an honor to be a member of this committee and to be a part of this morning's important confirmation hearing for Mel Martinez to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. This is my first hearing with the Banking Committee, and I am pleased that the work we are undertaking today pertains to such important issues for our country—affordable housing and the development of our urban centers.
As a Senator representing the state of Georgia these issues have great impact on areas such as Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and other metropolitan areas across my state. But they also affect rural populations, traditionally the most economically challenged in Georgia. Housing is not limited to the big cities. For example, in the suburbs of Georgia throughout the last decade we saw a decline in the number of units affordable to low-income families. Furthermore, today over one-third of households facing "worse-case" needs are in the suburbs.
Economic development initiatives are still needed greatly in Atlanta and other cities around the country. We must continue to fight urban poverty and the many social ills it brings to this nation. I believe as the nominee approaches this job, he must do so with the outlook of not serving just one sector of America, but all of America—urban and rural. I look forward to hearing your testimony, Mr. Secretary-designate, and also to your responses to the Committee's questions.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to present the Department of the Interior's views on S. 2473, a bill to enhance the recreational fee demonstration program for the National Park Service, and S. 2607, a bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to collect recreation fees on federal lands. We thank the Committee for the opportunity to discuss this important issue.
The Department strongly supports the efforts through S. 2473 and S. 2607 to establish recreation fee authority and, in particular, allow for the reinvestment of the majority of those fees into facilities and services that enhance the visitor experience.
Congress established recreation fee authority in 1965 under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, and more recently, in 1996, under the Recreational Fee Demonstration (Fee Demo) program. In enacting these bills, Congress acknowledged that the visitors to federal lands receive some benefits that do not directly accrue to the public at large and that charging a modest fee to that population is both equitable and fair to the general taxpayer. Congress took that idea one step further when establishing the Fee Demo program for the National Park Service (NPS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Fish and Wildlife Service), and the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service). During the 105th Congress, a House Appropriations Committee Report noted that the Fee Demo program was developed in direct response to the federal agencies' concern over their growing backlog maintenance needs. Thus, the Fee Demo program allowed participating agencies to retain a majority of recreation fees at the site collected and reinvest those fees into enhancing visitor services. This authority was deliberately broad and flexible to encourage agencies to experiment with their fee programs.
As the Committee is aware, our federal lands boast scenic vistas, breathtaking landscapes, and unique natural wonders. On these lands, many patriotic symbols, battlefields, memorials, historic homes, and many other types of sites tell the story of America. Federal lands have provided Americans and visitors from around the world special places for recreation, education, reflection and solace. The family vacation to these destinations is an American tradition.
We want to ensure that the federal lands continue to play this important role in American life and culture. Fulfilling this mission requires that we maintain visitor-serving facilities and services, preserve natural and historic resources, and enhance visitor opportunities. Such efforts require an adequate and steady source of funding.
We would like to share some of our experiences and lessons learned through the Fee Demo Program with you and offer several suggestions about the types of provisions that we believe would be important to include in any future recreation fee program. The agencies did experiment with fees during the demonstration phase. This experience has provided them with important information about the type of fee program that will meet the intended goal of enhancing the visiting public's enjoyment of our federal lands. In addition to continual efforts to evaluate, study, and improve fee programs within individual agencies, the agencies also have made tremendous efforts to coordinate and share experiences among all the participating agencies.
To facilitate coordination and consistency among the agencies on recreation fee policies, the agencies recently created an Interagency Recreation Fee Leadership Council (Fee Council). The members of the Fee Council from the Department of the Interior include four Assistant Secretaries, four Bureau Directors, and the Director of Congressional and Legislative Affairs. The USDA is represented by the Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment, the Chief Forester for the Forest Service, and the Director of Legislative Affairs for the Forest Service. As Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management, and Budget, I co-chair the Council along with USDA's Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment, Mark Rey. The Fee Council is developing its first annual work plan, which tentatively includes coordinating project evaluation and expenditure guidelines and determining what types of joint research projects may be necessary to assist in setting sensible recreation fee policies.
The agencies also worked together on the Recreational Fee Demonstration Program Interim Report to Congress, a comprehensive analysis of the Fee Demo Program sent to Congress in April 2002. This process, coupled with input from the Fee Council, has provided an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate the progress of the Fee Demo program. We would like to share with you today some of the achievements of the program, the lessons learned regarding our implementation of the program, and what we have discovered are the critical elements of a successful future for the recreation fee program.
Consider first how the Department has worked with the public to ensure that the Fee Demo program benefits recreationists, the federal lands visitors, and local communities. Efforts to seek out public input are consistent with Secretary Norton's "Four C's" — Communication, Consultation, and Cooperation, all in the service of Conservation. Given our experience with cooperative decision-making within the Fee Demo program, we believe that any future fee program should foster collaborative opportunities.
At the South Fork of the Snake River Pilot Fee Project, a joint partnership of the BLM, the Forest Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, and the counties of Bonneville, Madison, and Jefferson, Fee Demo money was used to replace non-functional toilets, expand and elevate the parking lot, and make the facility accessible to individuals with disabilities at Menan Boat Access. A working group at this site, composed of representatives of the agencies and other stakeholders, allocates revenues and produces a public report illustrating projects and expenditures. The report is distributed to previous season pass holders, businesses throughout the area, and staff. Completed projects are listed on the back of annual season passes and a news release is issued. Throughout the year participating agencies seek input from the public, outfitters and guides, and fishing clubs on what projects to fund with the collected fees.
The BLM Eagle Lake Field Office in California entered into a cooperative venture with a local bus company to provide, for a small fee, shuttle service to bring bikes and riders back to their vehicles. On board the shuttle is an interpreter who explains resource features and sites of interest along the route. The BLM has established a strong link with the community because local residents frequently ride the shuttle. This shuttle supports the local economy through the venture with the local bus company and by increasing tourism in the rural area.
At Cedar Mesa, Utah, the BLM has used Fee Demo funds to provide support for volunteers and seasonal staff who supervise the various recreation improvement projects. The BLM has created a strong working relationship with the Grand Canyon Private Boaters Association to aid in San Juan River clean-up, which has resulted in removal of almost two tons of trash from the river and its banks over the last two years. In addition, the BLM worked with three separate service groups -- the Wilderness Volunteers, the Sierra Club, and the American Hiking Association, to mitigate trail damage created by early season flooding.
At the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, the Fish and Wildlife Service has established a cooperative agreement with the City of Virginia Beach to provide environmental education programming for 34 summer youth camps, serving more than 2,000 young recreationists.
At Mount Rainier National Park, the high volume of use at campground facilities had worn down interpretive facilities, contributed to visitor health and safety problems, and resulted in the general feeling of dissatisfaction of campground users. In Cougar Rock campground, the 125-seat amphitheater was too small to accommodate current visitation and was determined to be located too close to geo-hazards. Fee demo funds were used to relocate the facility and increase seating capacity to 300. Fee demo funds also were used to ensure that the White River Campground restroom facilities could meet peak-season demand.
Through the fee program, agencies have been able to fund many important visitor projects. At the same time, the Department also has learned about ways to improve the fee program. Some concerns expressed about the program include:
¨ Recreation fees are not consistent across sites with similar features and facilities
¨ The distinction between recreation fees charged for "entrance"and those charged for "use" is unclear
¨ Use of recreation fees for improvements to facilities and services often is not apparent to the visiting public
¨ The current pass system is confusing to the public
¨ Recreation fees should not be charged in areas with little or no improvements aimed at enhancing the visitor experience
¨ Visitors should not be "nickel and dimed" through too many separate recreation fee charges
In response to the criticisms received, the Fee Council has identified seven guiding principles that address these and other concerns and are critical to a successful fee program. Any long-term fee program should be beneficial to the visiting public, fair and equitable, efficient, consistent, collaborative, convenient, and accountable.
1. Beneficial to the Visiting Public
The first guiding principle is that the ultimate goal of a fee program must be to benefit the visiting public by enhancing the resources, facilities, and programs utilized by those paying the fees. A majority of fee revenue should be kept at the site where the fee is collected and fees should help provide the sites with adequate resources to enhance and address unmet visitor service needs, reduce the backlog of deferred maintenance, and restore and enhance impacted or endangered resources. The success of a fee program lies in the delivery of these services, not merely in revenue generation.
2. Fair and Equitable
Fees also should be fair and equitable -- they should be affordable for all members of the public and not significantly affect visitation. Fees should be based on coherent framework that considers the relationship between who pays and who benefits from the services provided by a recreation program.
3. Efficient
The third guiding principle is that fees should be collected and administered in a cost efficient, enforceable, and business-like manner.
4. Consistent
The fourth guiding principle is that a recreation fee system should, where possible, be consistent. Visitors should expect a similar fee for similar activities, facilities, and services across agencies and in a given geographic area. The costs and benefits associated with a fee or pass should be clearly illustrated and easily understood by the visiting public.
5. Collaborative
As you know, collaboration lies at the center of Secretary Norton's "Four C's" — Communication, Consultation, and Cooperation, all in the service of Conservation. Consistent with this philosophy is the notion that input from local communities, constituencies and other stakeholders is vitally important in establishing reasonable fees. Wherever possible or appropriate, agencies should coordinate fees with private entities, local, state, and other federal agencies to minimize overlapping costs and simplify fees for the visiting public.
6. Convenient
Fees should be convenient to pay and passes easy to obtain. A variety of payment and location options (including by credit card, internet, automated fee machines, and vendor sales) should be made available as appropriate and feasible.
7. Accountable
Finally, agencies should be accountable to the public and Congress. Agencies should collect data and publish annually public documentation showing how the fee program is administered. Agencies should evaluate fee programs to consider cost of collection, adherence to policy, fiscal safeguards, how well they achieve organizational, site, or community goals, and how fee revenues have been spent to enhance the visitor experience.
Through our experience with the Fee Demo program, we now have the knowledge and tools to establish a successful fee program. Delay could result in a lost opportunity to implement a more productive, streamlined recreation fee system for the future designed to enhance the visitor's experience. The Department is ready for that challenge.
In addition to the efforts of the individual agencies and the Fee Council, we have a few suggestions on legislative provisions that would adhere to the guiding principles and address some of the criticisms levied at the program.
1. The Recreation Fee Program Should Be An Interagency One
We have found that the visiting public does not distinguish between lands managed by different federal agencies. Enhancing coordination between agencies is extraordinarily important in creating a sensible and efficient fee program with seamless services that is well-understood by the public. For these reasons, we are willing and ready to take on the challenges of an interagency program.
Although the nature of some agencies makes the collection of fees easier than for others, we believe that the relevant policy question of whether recreation fee authority should be given to an agency is whether the visiting public would benefit from enhanced recreation facilities and other visitor services that would result from such fees being charged. For example, the Bureau of Reclamation's 288 lakes accommodate 90 million visits a year. Just as in the case with other agencies, their visitors could benefit from improvements to facilities and services that could not otherwise be accomplished without recreation fee authority. As noted above, the BLM, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service have utilized their fees in creative and productive ways to enhance the visitor experience. Other agencies outside the Department of the Interior and USDA may also benefit from such a program.
2. An Interagency National Pass Should Be Established
For reasons that include those above, we also should explore the creation of a new interagency national pass that would provide visitors with a convenient and economical way to enjoy recreation on federal lands while at the same time, serve to educate the American public about their federal lands and available recreational opportunities. We believe that the National Park Passport developed by Mr. Thomas a few years ago is an excellent model for such a program, and we would like to expand on its successes -- the image competition as well as the modern marketing, and innovative, administration provisions. Therefore, we propose creating a new annual interagency pass would expand the National Parks Passport to include all participating agencies and would consolidate the Golden Passes established under the Land and Water Conservation Act. By consolidating these passes, the interagency pass would decrease visitor confusion about passes and shift the emphasis to recreation opportunities on our federal lands rather than an agency-centric view. We envision the interagency pass would include new and expanded standard benefits that are consistent across agencies and more inclusive than benefits under the Golden Eagle Pass; we envision the pass to be provided to seniors at steep discounts and to the disabled community free of charge; and we envision the pass retaining the look and program qualities of the National Park Passport. The distribution formula of pass revenues would be data-driven, established, and periodically reevaluated through the Fee Council. We look forward to working with the Committee to determine the appropriate formulas.
3. An Improved System of Fees to Replace Outdated "Entrance" and "Use" Fees Should Be Created
Each of the agencies have molded and shaped the LWCF definitions of "entrance" and "use" fees differently over the last several decades, thereby blurring the distinction between these fees and affecting how the Golden passes are used. The lack of consistency between and within agencies has led to visitor confusion and frustration. For this reason, we propose creating a new system of fees that will have consistent application across all agencies.
Instead of an "entrance" fee, agencies would be authorized to charge a "basic recreation" fee only at designated units or areas where a substantial investment has been made by the agency to enhance the visitor experience at that location. Under this system, restrictions would be put in place to ensure that the visiting public would not be charged if the agency is not making a certain level of investment in visitor services. All passes established would cover the basic recreation fee at all sites. Thus, basic recreation activities that were once inappropriately charged a "use" fee would now be covered by the passes.
While the Department would like to make as many efforts as possible to streamline the recreation fee system, fairness and equity concerns argue against the elimination of all layering of fees. The notion behind charging a fee beyond the basic recreation fee is that certain recreation activities require additional attention by agency staff or involve costs that should not be borne by the general public through taxpayer funds or by the rest of the visiting public through the basic recreation fee. The system must balance fairness and equity principles by carefully considering the relationship between who pays and who benefits.
Instead of a "use" fee, as now charged, we suggest that a fee for enhanced services, activities, and facilities be charged as an "expanded recreation" fee." The types of activities for which an expanded recreation fee may be charged will, to the extent possible, be consistent across agencies. Specific prohibitions and guidance will safeguard against blurring the two categories of fees to ensure that: 1) the system is understandable to the public; 2) the public is not "double charged" when enjoying the primary attraction of the site; and 3) passes, which are proposed to cover the basic recreation fees, retain full value.
4. Better Reporting on the Use of Fee Revenues Should Be Established
The purpose of the recreation fee program is to improve the visitor's recreation experience. Visitor acceptance of fees depends upon: 1) whether improvements to the site are visible to them and, 2) whether a majority of the fee revenues stay at the site visited. For this reason, the Department would like to develop a meaningful reporting requirement to Congress to ensure that fee revenues are used efficiently and effectively for the benefit of the visiting public. We also are making efforts to better demonstrate, on site, to the visiting public how and where their recreation fees are being spent and to explore more creative ways to seek public input on visitor projects that fee revenues should fund.
5. Authority to Establish Agency Site-Specific and Regional Multi-entity Passes Should Be Provided
A well-structured, appropriately priced regional multi-entity pass can provide certain types of visitors with a value option as well as provide important opportunities for the federal government to partner with state and private entities to promote tourism and improve the experience of their shared visitors. Both the site-specific and regional multi-entity passes also could provide regular visitors, often residents of nearby communities, with convenient and economical pass alternatives.
These concepts result from a great deal of analysis and discussion within the Department and with the Department of Agriculture through the Fee Council. We believe these concepts would positively contribute to any legislation that moves forward on recreation fee authority. We look forward to working with the Committee and our interagency partners to further discuss and explore these ideas.
I would like to take this opportunity to announce that, in support of the President's Healthier U.S. Initiative, the National Park Service will waive all entrance fees on June 22-23, 2002. The National Parks and all our federal lands provide an important context on which Americans are seeking to lead healthier lives. We hope you will join us this weekend at your nearest National Park.
Mr. Chairman, that concludes my statement. I would be pleased to answer any questions you or other members of the subcommittee may have.

The title says it all: You can't cheat a person who is honest. Unfortunately, most of us have a little larceny in our soul. Get-rich schemes are nothing new, and people will often follow the path of least resistance in order to get to "Easy Street."
"Matchstick Men" is the newest entry in this genre, which also includes "The Sting," "The Grifters" and "The Flim-Flam Man." All deal with people who prey on those willing to put aside their ethics for a momentary windfall.
Nicholas Cage as Roy leads this version. Suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, Roy has more ticks than an old dog. And he is a con artist, not a con man; he does not like the latter term.
Roy's partner is Frank (Sam Rockwell), the kind of guy who blows money as quickly as he gets it and is always in need. Frank is the antithesis of Roy. Whereas Roy is more fastidious than Felix Unger, Frank is as sloppy as Oscar Madison. Roy's problems hinder Frank's chances to make some real money.
The movie opens with the duo running a short con to swindle suckers willing to purchase a $50 water purifier for hundreds of dollars in hopes of winning a fabulous prize.
Roy is self-medicating with drugs gotten from a fly-by-night physician. When Roy accidentally pours his medicine down the drain, he winds up so out of sorts he obsessively cleans his home, over and over again, for days on end. Frank refers Roy to his aunt's former psychiatrist.
The doctor helps Roy with medication and, through therapy, uncovers the fact that Roy may have a child from his last relationship. Roy asks the doctor to call his ex-wife and find out the state of the child.
In a couple of days, Roy's daughter, Angela, shows up. This new presence begins to bring Roy out of his shell. She asks Roy about his life and winds up getting involved in the con that Roy and Frank are working on.
The movie delivers solid performances. Cage is becoming known for his tragic characters, and Roy is no exception. Cage is able to create pathos for a man who is stuck in life's rut, which is fast becoming a grave.
Rockwell, who played Chuck Barris in last year's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," is getting typecast in some ways, as he generally plays nutty and crazy. Here, his Frank is a man that cannot be trusted. He is the type of guy most of us would run from, but he has this roguish charm that easily ropes people in.
The director is veteran Ridley Scott, whose "Gladiator" and "Blackhawk Down" were larger-than-life films with big stories and large casts. This is a smaller film, with four central characters driving the narrative. What we witness is a man's transformation at an intersection with three other people. Scott has here fashioned a film that moves through the life of a man at odds with himself.
All in all, "Matchstick Men" takes its place as a morality play within the membership of the con artist—not con men—genre. It tells a story of redemption that has at its heart a truth from Jesus: "What does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?"
"Matchstick Men" reiterates the principle that through loss, we gain.

Chapter 3
THANK YOU SOOOO MCUH TO EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN READING! I'd really appreciate comments and suggestions about the story so i could improve on them :)
I woke up with the worst headache ever. I obviously cried myself to sleep. Ugh, the headache you get after bawling your eyes out is just terrible! I was up, but honestly, I just wished I didn't wake up. I just want to get away from the world.
I grabbed my phone by the sidetable to see 136 messages and 208 mails.
What the hell was this??
I immediately checked the first text. It was from Ally, my best friend all the way from London.
"EMILY! WHAT IS THIS I'M HEARING??? YOU AND TYLER BROKE UP? I called up Ty and he said you guys reached a mutual decision to call it quits! What's that about, ems?? I thought you guys were fine!" yeah, I thought so too al. "please reply asap"
I was confused, why that reason?? I turned on the tv to see "Tyler Grayson & Emily Walcott BREAK UP" all over the tv. What I next saw just took me by surprise!
"Tyler Grayson's side has released a statement saying: Emily and I have decided to call it quits. It was a mutual decision between the both of us. As for the reason, both our camps have decided that only the both of us should know what happen and we hope it stays that way. We'd like to thank all the fans who have always come to support us. May we both be able to overcome this challenge in our lives as we now go separate ways"
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? BLOODY LIES!!! Oh the nerve of that guy!!! It wasn't a mutual decision and my camp definitely didn't say a thing! URRRRGHHHHH!
I was just mad. I even forgot how sad I was that I just ended my relationship with a guy that I loved so much!
As I scroll down my texts I see a text from Liam
"hey Ems. You were right. we would find out. It's all over the news. All of us lads are really worried. Hope you would feel better. We would visit you but we have the show to prepare for and we leave LA tomorrow already. Just text us if you need anything. Xx"
I just wanted to cry! I just don't know anymore. I feel so defeated. I was helpless. I hated this.
A few days after. I had managed to muster up the strength to go out in public. I had explained to Ally, Lucy and some of my closest friends, including my manager what really had happened and they were just as stunned as I am. Almost every day, I had loads of paparazzi following me around bugging me with questions. I was defenseless actually. I couldn't say anything about Tyler cheating on me because I just couldn't. I hated him but I didn't want to ruin him. Besides, no one would believe me. I'm just the model girlfriend while Tyler's obviously the more famous one. They would all just believe him and I'd just look like the terrible liar, attention-seeking bitch.
It was hard. Every day was such a struggle. Not to mention that just a week after the break up, Tyler was already seen walking hand in hand and making out with Hayley in public.
Two weeks after the break up, I was already preparing for an ad shoot that I was going to do and for a runway show when suddenly, Livy, my manager calls me up.
"Hey Ems. Look, I know you're still not feeling better but I'm sorry to bring to you another bad news. The brand you were doing an ad and a runway show for just dropped you. They said because you weren't Tyler's girl anymore. I know it's petty, and believe me, I tried my hardest to fight for you but they just wouldn't snap. I'm sorry Ems."

RAV4 seven-seater revealed
- No plans for UK launch yet
- 100mm wheelbase stretch allows third row of seats
- New 'Easy-Flat' seat-folding system
Toyota has pulled the wraps off a seven-seater version of next year's new RAV4.
At the moment, Toyota says there are no plans to offer UK buyers the car, which it unveiled at the
Las Vegas SEMA Motor Show, alongside January's new five-seater RAV4.
The seven-seater features a wheelbase stretched by 100mm to allow room for the third-row pair of
seats. Like Toyota's Verso seven-seater MPV, these fold flat into the floor when not in use.
The five-seater RAV4 goes on sale in the UK in January. It's powered by a 150bhp 2.0-litre petrol, or one of two turbodiesels, offering 134bhp or 175bhp.
A new, simpler seat folding system called Easy-Flat means just one handle has to be tugged to get rid of the middle row of seats and increase boot space.
More space between the front and rear wheels means there's much more room in the cabin, but Toyota claims the newcomer is more manoeuvrable with a tighter turning circle for negotiating car parks.

POTSDAM - With well over 700 people expected to attend Stonerstock events this weekend, its inevitable that some of them traveled from afar.
Vlasta K. Pinkston was among the contingent of Stoners traveling to Potsdam from foreign lands.
Ms. Pinkston, who graduated from Potsdam High School in 1972, now lives just outside of London.
My visit here was for multiple reasons, she said, adding that her mom and dad still live in Potsdam and with her birthday coming up, the timing for Stonerstock couldnt have been any better.
Every year we get together anyway, she said, referring to a trio of classmates that also includes Dianne Horton and Sue Aldous. And we usually end up in Potsdam. This was just a big extension of that.
When asked what is so special about Potsdam that would lead this many to come back for a reunion, she replied, It was a brilliant high school. We were Stoners and once youre a Stoner, youre always a Stoner.
Standing in a room filled with laughter and hugs Friday afternoon at the Potsdam Museum, Ms. Pinkston said, Our classes were really close.
She continued, This is such a small town and a lot of people left after graduation, but theres something as you get older in age that drags you back to your roots, and I think thats what this is all about.
John P. McBurnie graduated from Potsdam in 1971 and traveled to Stonerstock from Avon, Colo.
I kind of helped out quite a bit with it, he said. I havent been back in a lot of years, so it was time to come back.
Among Mr. McBurnies contributions to the event was a display of 1960s memorabilia that he brought along to display at the museum during Stonerstock.
Mr. McBurnie said he arrived in town yesterday barbecuing with some friends in South Colton, adding a fourth day to the festivities for him.
Most of the people there, we all grew up on the same street, he said. Its great to see people. Its incredible that this thing has been pulled off.
With the official Mega Reunion itself will be held tonight at SUNY Potsdam with a group of 575 Stoners dating as far back as 1937, Mr. McBurnie said the event could have been even bigger.
Its too bad we didnt have a bigger facility or there would have been even more people, he said, adding there are also a lot of people attending events this weekend that dont have tickets to Saturday evenings dinner.
Wearing a tie-dyed shirt and a hat fit for the Mad Hatter, Mr. McBurnie said, I wouldnt have missed this for the world.
That being said, he almost did.
Initially when he asked for the time off from work, Mr. McBurnie said he was told by his employer that he couldnt use his vacation time now because there was someone else who had already requested it off.
When asked if he would have quit his job to attend, he replied, only half jokingly, Pretty much.
Mr. McBurnie said he was able to get the time off without quitting his job. He said hell be flying back home on Aug. 18.
Students though arent the only ones attending Stonerstock.
Constance McElwain joined the faculty of Potsdam Central School in 1958, teaching first grade at Lawrence Avenue Elementary.
It was new that year. It was the first year for the school, she said, recalling the building was surrounded by a sea of mud.
Ms. McElwain also recalled the superintendent at that time was the late A.A. Kingston, the man for whom Potsdam Middle School is named.
Ms. McElwain said she didnt travel far to attend the events welcoming reception as she lives in Potsdam.
I thought I would come down and see if there were any familiar faces, she said. I saw one girl I knew.
When asked if she was looking for former students, she replied people today would look far different than they did back when she was teaching them how to read and write.
I dont think I would even know them, she said, adding she gets recognized by former students from time to time.
Just the other day I had a guy come up to me and ask if I was his teacher. I told him I recognized his face and asked him what his name was, she said. He told me, and I told him he was.
Todays events will start at 9 a.m. with a 5K walk/run starting on Beal Street, behind Potsdam Laundry. The course for this event will be the same as for the Tour de Potsdam. The cost to participate is $5, with proceeds benefiting the Potsdam Key Club.
The Elks Club will host a chicken barbecue at 11:30 a.m. The cost of this meal is not included in the price of the reunion ticket.
At 1 p.m. all alums in town are invited to the school for a Mega Reunion group photo on the football bleachers behind the high school.
From 1 to 5 p.m. a musical tribute to Hank Williams Jr., Hankfest, is being held at Ives Park. This event will also feature a craft fair.
The Mega Reunion itself will then take place from 5 p.m. to midnight with cocktails served from 5 to 6 p.m. and a buffet dinner from 6 to 8:15 p.m. There will be an opportunity for organizers and participants to share stories and recognize various attendees 8:15 to 8:45 p.m.
Double Axel will perform from 9 p.m. to midnight.
The event will conclude on Sunday with a farewell brunch at the high school to be followed by tours of the school from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

10 September 2009
The agricultural and livestock sector in Burundi will benefit, over the next four years, from an investment of US$ 40 million from the European Union (EU), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and World Food Programme (WFP), PANA learnt from an official source in Bujumbura.
19 May 2009
The United Nations refugee agency today reported that it had assisted in the return to Burundi of more than 500 refugees who had spent the last ten years in Rwanda. (..) A truck and bus convoy brought the refugees returning to Burundi to a transit centre, where they were provided with assistance, non- food items and food rations from UNHCR, the World Food Programme (WFP) and humanitarian partners.
29 April 2009
Weeks of torrential rains in and around Bujumbura have worsened living conditions for thousands of residents of an informal settlement on the outskirts of the capital, most of whom have been displaced for years. (...) On 24 April, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) distributed food relief to last the residents 10 days: each person received 22kg of maize flour, 2.5kg of beans, 1.25kg of oil and 250g of salt. Ricky Nelly Ndagano, a programme officer in charge of communication at WFP, said the agency would evaluate residents' needs. "After this first relief, we are planning to assess the needs in food and non-food items and what further assistance the organisation can bring to the Sabe destitute," she said.
23 January 2009
Uganda and Burundi have put two battalions on standby to send to war-torn Somalia to fill the gap left by withdrawing Ethiopian troops, a Ugandan army spokesman said Friday. "There is no time framework under which we will send our soldiers there," Major Felix Kulayigye told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. "We have a battalion ready, and it is just a matter of waiting for the logistics and then we will go." Ethiopia is pulling its forces out of Somalia after a two-year occupation that has failed to defeat Islamist forces, reported dpa. [...] The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warned on Thursday that it might have to stop distributing food in Somalia if the safety of its staff cannot be guaranteed. Two WFP aid workers were shot in early January, adding to another five killed last year.
12 January 2009
THE World Food Programme (WFP) has began buying food directly from small-holding farmers in Uganda to boost opportunities for poverty eradication. The UN food agency said in a statement yesterday that it bought $53m worth of food locally last year for recipients in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern DR Congo. The statement said the agency plans to increase the purchases to more than $100m annually in three years. The country director, Stanlake Samkange, said WFP recently started buying food through the warehouse receipt system to increase direct assistance to small-scale farmers and support the Government poverty eradication efforts. "Buying food directly from small-scale farmers, especially at high prices, helps further by improving the quality of life for the poorest people," Samkange said in the statement.

* Click here for rating key
The Magnolia Hotel Review: This historic landmark is popular with business travelers because of its central location in the 17th Street Financial District. Tourists also equally favor its proximity to the Denver Performing Arts Center, the Pavilions shopping complex, the Colorado Convention Center and downtown restaurants. The hotel has 246 rooms, nearly half of which are suites. They are decorated in chic neutrals, and colorful accents are provided by pillows and art prints on the walls, as well as fresh flowers and bowls of apples. All of the accommodations have high-speed Internet access, and wireless is available for a fee. Some also have kitchenettes, and others microwaves and refrigerators. The well-equipped workout room is open 24-hours. The complimentary breakfast buffet is among the best in town, topped only by the late night cookies and milk bar. Guests enjoy drink discounts at Harrys Bar, which feels like stepping back into 1960s Paris.

After 30 Years, They Might Be Giants Just Simply Are
- 03.13.12
Sixteen years ago I wrote an article in my high school newspaper titled "They Might Be Giants Simply Are." I can't say for sure if the article was a hit or not, frankly I'm not too keen on the statistics of how well-read my music reviews were at the time. You can check out that article here. The point is, in those 16 years and adding on the years that I've been a TMBG fan, not much has changed in the way of that headline. They Might Be Giants are still giants. They are still creating new music, they are still tweaking our imaginations and frontal lobes. They still, 30 years since their conception, simply are.
What has changed for us longtime fans is us. We've grown up, we've gotten older as they have and have families of our own. There might have been a point where we wondered if the music of TMBG was still for us anymore. That point lasted about as long as Data's decision to side with the Borg Queen. The music of TMBG hasn't necessarily aged with us, rather it has transcended the tags we'd apply to music or bands that have been around 30 years. Not only adapting to new technologies, the group has continued to tour with fervent energy, keeping us (and them) feeling younger in the process. It's hard to imagine that over that span of time they haven't influenced anyone — they have, whether they recognize it or not.
One thing I've noticed with talking to artists over the years is that they don't always want to immediately point out or even recognize their influence on others, and that's fine. That comes from an area of ultimate humility and being thankful for where they are. The guys of TMBG are no different. While they are one of my major influences, part of the "Holy Trinity" as John Linnell called it when we spoke (the others being Hunter S. Thompson and Kurt Vonnegut,) they have also held not only creative but musical influence for many others as well. After 30 years, that hasn't changed and it's my guess that the people they influence the most are themselves.
To sum up 30 years of making music and being a band is not an easy task. So I didn't do that. The guys over at TMBW.net have that covered pretty well. Instead, I asked some folks out there in the world, creative types, what TMBG has meant to them. Personal stories of happiness and creative influence permeated the comments, a running theme being how positively energetic the band has been over the years. I caught up with TMBG as they rolled through Tampa, Florida, on their recent tour. Before they totally rocked the stage, performing the entire Lincoln album (and a good dose of new songs) I was ushered onto the tour bus to speak with John Linnell. We didn't talk long, as they had to get ready for the show, but we talked. I rarely "squeee" about interviews, but getting to talk to the John Linnell, who I grew up listening to and loving, was a pretty awesome experience.
It made me think about first times when it comes to TMBG. The first time I heard them was back in 1993 or so, after hearing the album Apollo 18 at a friend's house. The first time I saw them in concert, well, my memory is a little fuzzy on that one but I'm guessing 1996 or so. The group Gravel Pit opened for them and all the songs performed were off their 1996 album Gravel Pit Manifesto. All of it came rushing back, the time when I was 15 and took a train with my mom and brother to Pennsylvania, having only Flood to keep me sane. Listening to "Birdhouse in Your Soul" still makes me think of Amtrak.
Singer/songwriter Marian Call has a much better "Birdhouse in Your Soul" memory, which John Linnell found to be "super touching" when I relayed it to him:
I never got to see them live until I was a senior in college. I flew my brother from Seattle to California so we could see it together. We loved their new material, but the moment they began playing "Put a Little Birdhouse in Your Soul" both of us spontaneously started crying. It might have been the most overwhelming nostalgia for childhood I've ever experienced. I don't know why it reaches me so powerfully, but I do know that no other pop music has that power over me.
Music does have that power over us, but with TMBG it's much more than just the music. It's the spirit and the irreverent lyrics. It's how they perform with sock puppets in their live show. It's how they can produce children's albums with the same irreverent lyrical and musical style, yet they are considered educational. They have been able to transcend the classical school of thought when it comes to the segmentation of music, reaching across and holding on to fans from many generations.

Russian patriarch: Protestant acceptance of homosexuality undermines ecumenism
Catholic World News - June 29, 2010
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, met with the general secretary of the World Council of Churches (WCC) on June 28 and said that the acceptance of homosexuality by some Protestant communities undermines ecumenism.
"Kirill expressed a serious concern about some difficulties faced by ecumenical dialogue in view of what he labeled as new positions of some Protestant churches on important moral issues, including the understanding of homosexuality," a WCC press release noted.

Bravo, Patriarch Kirill! Those churches taking thi sliberal line will likely follow the Anglicans into chaos, fracturing into smaller sects. One can only hope that the affect might be similar: that the more traditional ones will seek union with the Mother church. But as long as they continue in error, there can be no progress in ecumenism. We must pray for our sparated brethren; it is the devil who divides us, in order to conquer.

About this blog
Out for Good
The view from under South Hill, as interpreted by Luca
Monday, August 25, 2014
This year's First Year Reading Initiative selection The Good Lord Bird by James McBride, has our class of 2018, and many members of the campus community, following along with the story of Henry or "Little Onion" and John Brown. The novel has several key themes, and readers interested in LGBT themes may also be quite intrigued by the way Onion is at first mistaken for a girl, but acclimates quickly to this new role. Ideas of coming of age, resilience and self-reliance, the meaning of loyalty, the path to finding and understanding one's identities (including one's sexual identity) and the complications of managing undisclosed or hidden identities, may be among those that resonate. The IC Library has compiled a comprehensive guide to the book and its author, be sure to check that out whether you are a new or a returning student.

A Brevard County Family is forced out of their home after a fire erupted on Christmas Eve
Fire in Mims forces family from home
Published On: Dec 25 2013 02:11:59 PM EST Updated On: Dec 25 2013 03:02:08 PM EST
MIMS, Fla. -- A Brevard County family was forced out of their home Tuesday night after fire erupted inside their house.
It happened just after nine o'clock on Amy Way in Mims.
It took crews nearly an hour to knock down the fire. According to fire officials it started in the garage and quickly spread through two bedrooms above it.
The family told Local 6 they believe it was started by an electric golf cart which was charging in the garage.
Luckily everyone inside the home got out safely.
Fire officials say the home was not a total loss and the family will be staying with friends, until they find out if the Red Cross can help them.

Whether posing on the red carpet, caught candidly by the paparazzi, or at a high budget studio, Scarlett Johansson tends to looks flawless. Those lips, that hair — her sex appeal is undeniable.
And we think it's fair to say that it's difficult to photograph Scarlett without emphasizing her sexiness. Throw on a coat of gloss and her lips begin to have a life all on their own. But as next month's V Magazine cover girl, Scarlett appears much more delicate than usual, even angelic in many of the shots. One of the images has her topless with tousled hair, and she still seems uncharacteristically innocent.
Maybe it's the makeup: the toned-down eye shadow, the apricot cheek, the light, berry-colored lip. Or maybe it's her stunning YSL strawberry top that is both childlike and high fashion at the same time. Maybe her golden, dirty blonde locks are a fresh change from the harsh platinum hair. Whatever it is, we're loving it.

Vikings waive offensive lineman DeMarcus Love

DeMarcus Love is eligible to return after serving a four-game suspension to open the season but he won't be coming back to the Minnesota Vikings.
The team waived the offensive tackle on Tuesday. Love was selected by the Vikings in the sixth round of the 2011 draft.
Love's suspension for violating the NFL's performance enhancing drug policy was announced in training camp.
At the time, he said he was unaware a supplement he took early last spring contained a substance that is banned by the NFL. Love appealed the suspension in April but his attempt to avoid suspension proved unsuccessful.

October of 2003 was when this stone was written. 8 years it took me. This time and place. The time God knew would come all along. I wonder – even before we make that step of faith – He knows setting the wheels in motion. "It is loosed" are the words that I've been saying today. Weird I know!
I want to believe all of who God says He is. I want to take You at your very word. You tell me that you Word is alive and powerful. I've been reading story after story of what You have done for Your people. You are the same God that I'm reading about!
These three things He has been teaching me on the inside. 8 years ago…even 5 I wouldn't have known this. I do now.
To know I'm loved..His beloved
That I am courageous..and can do it even though I'm scared
I'm trusting Him and His word and I'm bustin' loose…
I don't know what these days and weeks and months ahead will unfold for us but I chuckle because I've been reading about Elijah and Elisha!do you quietly wonder if Christians in our country would begin to believe God..to trust Him with all that they are and have what would happen?…I do
Here is what my Grace Adventure counselor and I came up with the course was done.
I want to remember this through the rest of summer and beyond…Tiffini is a playful - authentic - worthy – woman….who is ENOUGH! forgot to add..before you say the above words…it should read, " by the grace of God I am" The haappiest of weekends coming your way..xoxo each one of you~
