Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A suspect has been arrested for the 2012 murder of a Las Vegas man.
Giovanni Kurtze has been charged with murder, grand larceny and robbery.
On Oct. 14, 2012, Las Vegas police were notified by the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department in California that they had been involved in a chase with Kurtze. The vehicle had Nevada plates.
The pursuit lasted more than five miles and reached speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.
Kurtze wrecked the vehicle and fled on foot for approximately one-mile before being apprehended. He was not the registered owner of the vehicle.
California officers requested Las Vegas police make contact with the registered owner, Froilan Abellera, in Las Vegas. Officers went to the home, but no one answered.
On Oct. 15, 2012, Las Vegas police received a call from a woman saying her employee, Abellera, missed work that day and didn't call in. A welfare check was then requested.
Las Vegas Fire & Rescue paramedics responded to the home and found an adult male, later identified as Abellera, dead in the bathtub, under what they believed were suspicious circumstances.
A search of the apartment revealed it had been ransacked. Several empty white envelopes were on the living room floor; a coworker said he kept money in picture frames in his apartment. Every picture frame was taken apart and money was found in almost all of them, in white envelopes, similar to the empty ones found on the floor.
Blood was found on a loveseat, on the carpet and the walls.
An autopsy performed on Abellera's body found in excess of 40 stab and incised wounds, many of them superficial or non-life threatening, indicating possible torture.
A search of Abellera's impounded vehicle used in the police chase by Kurtze found pillow cases that matched bedding from Abellera's bedroom. Others had blood stains on them. Other items included men's clothing, jewelry, coins and a wallet with an assortment of items in the name of Abellera.
In addition, a single black knit glove and folding knife were found in the car and white envelopes, similar to those found in the victim's apartment.
In an interview with police, Kurtze said he saw a man get out of his vehicle and left it running with the keys in it. He said he got in and drove away. He then drove to California with a girl he had picked up, where the police chase took place.
He denied having ever met Abellera.
In December 2013, detectives later identified a palm print lifted from the bathroom counter near the bathtub where Abellera's body was discovered as belonging to the hand of Kurtze.
Kurtze was arrested on July 24. He was transported to Las Vegas and booked on an outstanding warrant issued in March for his arrest on this homicide case.
He was transported from Salinas Valley State Prison in California where he had been serving time on a burglary case.

Acupuncture-Like Treatments Improve Low Back Pain
Acupuncture and simulated acupuncture both improved chronic low back pain more than conventional care in a new study. The result highlights central questions about how acupuncture helps people with chronic pain.
Acupuncture is a family of procedures that originated in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves stimulating specific points on the body by a variety of techniques, including the insertion of thin metal needles though the skin. In the United States, acupuncture is considered part of complementary and alternative medicine.
Many patients with back pain who are dissatisfied with their medical care seek treatment from acupuncturists. In fact, back pain is the leading reason for visits to licensed acupuncturists.
Several recent studies have suggested that both real acupuncture and "sham" acupuncture (the shallow needling of points) are equally effective for treating chronic low back pain, and that both are superior to best-practice medical care. A team of researchers led by Dr. Daniel Cherkin of the Group Health Center for Health Studies in Seattle set out to further investigate. Their work was funded by NIH's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM).
The team enrolled 638 adults with chronic low back pain who never had acupuncture. The participants were randomly assigned to 4 groups. The first received individualized acupuncture, a customized prescription for acupuncture points from a diagnostician. The second received standardized acupuncture, targeting points that acupuncture experts consider generally effective for chronic low back pain. The third group received simulated acupuncture, which mimics needle acupuncture but doesn't involve actual penetration of the skin. The fourth group received standard medical care.
The patients in the 3 acupuncture groups were treated twice weekly for 3 weeks, and then weekly for an additional 4 weeks. At 8, 26 and 52 weeks, the researchers measured back-related dysfunction and asked the participants about their symptoms.
The researchers reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine on May 11, 2009, that dysfunction scores at 8 weeks had improved significantly more for all 3 acupuncture groups than for the standard care group. The benefits persisted for a year, though they diminished over time. There was no significant difference between the groups receiving the needle and simulated forms of acupuncture. Neither tailoring acupuncture needle sites to an individual patient nor actually penetrating the skin appeared to be necessary to get the benefits of acupuncture.
"Because of the lack of highly effective medical treatments for chronic low back pain, we were pleased to find that acupuncture-like treatments were helpful for persons suffering from chronic back pain," Cherkin says. "However, the finding that real acupuncture produced no greater benefit than simulated acupuncture raises important questions about acupuncture's mechanisms of action."
"This adds to the growing body of evidence that there is something meaningful taking place during acupuncture treatments outside of actual needling. Future research is needed to delve deeper into what is evoking these responses," says Dr. Josephine P. Briggs, director of NCCAM.

Given an undirected graph and a number m, determine if the graph can be colored with at most m colors such that no two adjacent vertices of the graph are colored with same color. Here coloring of a graph means assignment of colors to all vertices.
1) A 2D array graph[V][V] where V is the number of vertices in graph and graph[V][V] is adjacency matrix representation of the graph. A value graph[i][j] is 1 if there is a direct edge from i to j, otherwise graph[i][j] is 0.
2) An integer m which is maximum number of colors that can be used.
An array color[V] that should have numbers from 1 to m. color[i] should represent the color assigned to the ith vertex. The code should also return false if the graph cannot be colored with m colors.
Following is an example graph (from Wiki page ) that can be colored with 3 colors.
Naive Algorithm
Generate all possible configurations of colors and print a configuration that satisfies the given constraints.
while there are untried conflagrations { generate the next configuration if no adjacent vertices are colored with same color { print this configuration; } }
There will be V^m configurations of colors.
Backtracking Algorithm
The idea is to assign colors one by one to different vertices, starting from the vertex 0. Before assigning a color, we check for safety by considering already assigned colors to the adjacent vertices. If we find a color assignment which is safe, we mark the color assignment as part of solution. If we do not a find color due to clashes then we backtrack and return false.
Implementation of Backtracking solution
#include<stdio.h> // Number of vertices in the graph #define V 4 void printSolution(int color[]); /* A utility function to check if the current color assignment is safe for vertex v */ bool isSafe (int v, bool graph[V][V], int color[], int c) { for (int i = 0; i < V; i++) if (graph[v][i] && c == color[i]) return false; return true; } /* A recursive utility function to solve m coloring problem */ bool graphColoringUtil(bool graph[V][V], int m, int color[], int v) { /* base case: If all vertices are assigned a color then return true */ if (v == V) return true; /* Consider this vertex v and try different colors */ for (int c = 1; c <= m; c++) { /* Check if assignment of color c to v is fine*/ if (isSafe(v, graph, color, c)) { color[v] = c; /* recur to assign colors to rest of the vertices */ if (graphColoringUtil (graph, m, color, v+1) == true) return true; /* If assigning color c doesn't lead to a solution then remove it */ color[v] = 0; } } /* If no color can be assigned to this vertex then return false */ return false; } /* This function solves the m Coloring problem using Backtracking. It mainly uses graphColoringUtil() to solve the problem. It returns false if the m colors cannot be assigned, otherwise return true and prints assignments of colors to all vertices. Please note that there may be more than one solutions, this function prints one of the feasible solutions.*/ bool graphColoring(bool graph[V][V], int m) { // Initialize all color values as 0. This initialization is needed // correct functioning of isSafe() int *color = new int[V]; for (int i = 0; i < V; i++) color[i] = 0; // Call graphColoringUtil() for vertex 0 if (graphColoringUtil(graph, m, color, 0) == false) { printf("Solution does not exist"); return false; } // Print the solution printSolution(color); return true; } /* A utility function to print solution */ void printSolution(int color[]) { printf("Solution Exists:" " Following are the assigned colors \n"); for (int i = 0; i < V; i++) printf(" %d ", color[i]); printf("\n"); } // driver program to test above function int main() { /* Create following graph and test whether it is 3 colorable (3)---(2) | / | | / | | / | (0)---(1) */ bool graph[V][V] = {{0, 1, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}, }; int m = 3; // Number of colors graphColoring (graph, m); return 0; }
Solution Exists: Following are the assigned colors 1 2 3 2

Student in Kazakhstan makes 11-m long cue card, fails to use

Admission of final-year students of 2008 to be based on UNT results
Express K newspaper says a graduate of one of the Ridder high schools in East Kazakhstan has made perhaps the longest cue card in the history while preparing for the single national testing (SNT).
The cheater wanted to use an 11-meter long crib note containing more than 25 000 (!) answers at the exam, but it was taken away from him by invigilators.
It seems 2012 is an 'unlucky year' for the most SNT takers. School leavers claim the SNT questions are different from what they have swotted. Some 90 per cent of Maths and History questions have been altered, high school students insist.
Even SNT results of the straight-A pupils disappoint. For instance, 72 per cent of Altyn Belgi mark contenders in East Kazakhstan failed to score the required number of points during the test. Altyn Belgi mark, given only to straight-A school leavers, grants a right to attend any higher education institution in Kazakhstan without paying tuition fees.
Most students and their parents with tears in their eyes say that SNT stands for 'single national tragedy'.
Meanwhile Head of the Education Department Madeniyet Akhmetova stresses that students have themselves to blame. "Every time the test takers see a slightly altered question or a task they push the panic button," she says.

Seizing offenders' property not a way to stop sex trade
Gwinnett County officials are seeking new laws to allow them to seize the property of those committing sex crimes. This new power could pose a huge problem for the citizens of Gwinnett County.
The legislation is currently unwritten and while it purports to target pimps and "houses of prostitution," many married and single people in the county are currently breaking sex crime laws that are on the books.
Today's sodomy laws, in their current form, could get virtually anyone convicted of a sex crime. While sodomy laws should be changed, it is more important to prevent more bad laws from being enacted. A law giving the police the right to take someone's property will do little, if anything, to curb the acts they are targeting.
Look at the drug war. Police can already confiscate cars and money, but these laws have done nothing to stop the drug trade. The fact that this new law will allow the police to take away a person's home for committing a misdemeanor, a "crime" not even worthy of jail time, is particularly appalling, especially when it should not be a crime at all.
Legislation to seize the property of someone operating a "house of prostitution" is also rather pointless since in many cases these are not run from privately owned properties, but rented space in strip malls and shopping centers. In March of 2010, a massage parlor inside the Mall of Georgia was closed and three employees arrested for "sexual acts for hire," but the county would not be able to seize their business, even under the new laws. Once released from jail, they could open another shop in another mall.
If Gwinnett County wants to put an end to the world's oldest profession, it should find another way. Better yet, it should take a step forward and instead of criminalizing two consenting adults trading cash for services, they should regulate the industry. Through regulation you can bring the sex trade out of the dark corners of our county, make it safer for the buyers and sellers, and help to end the exploitation of those who may be in the business against their will.
Stealing property from a person committing a misdemeanor offense, legally the same severity as a speeding ticket, should be avoided at all costs.

What about also enforcing the laws about public "crimes against nature." That used to be a criminal offense. Does government now accept those actions in public because of the openness of gays and lesbians? I say seize all their property. I see no wrong in doing that. We do it with drug dealers.

Police: Waimea drowning victim wasn't saving woman
Gungon, 31, from Imperial, Calif. was trying to swim out of waterfall
Police say a California visitor who drowned at a Hawaii waterfall wasn't trying to save a woman, as was previously believed.
Honolulu police said Wednesday further investigation revealed Kris Gungon was trying to swim out of the waterfall when he apparently drowned.
After Sunday's drowning at Waimea Falls, fire officials said he disappeared beneath the surface after going into the water to help a woman in distress.
The 31-year-old Imperial, Calif. resident was vacationing with his wife and infant daughter.
An autopsy was conducted Monday but the medical examiner's office has not yet determined cause of death.

All things Mother Earth Living

efficient lighting, GE, halogen light bulbs, compact fluorescent light bulbs, CFLs
Interested in the energy efficiency of compact fluorescents but still crave a brighter bulb and a faster turn-on? GE Lighting's new hybrid halogen-CFL is contained in an incandescent-shaped glass bulb, combining the attributes of all three technologies. GE Energy Smart Soft White and Reveal hybrid halogen-CFL bulbs will be available by Earth Day (April 22).
In the new bulbs, a halogen capsule—which comes on instantly and turns off once the CFL comes to full brightness—is nestled inside the swirl of a compact fluorescent light bulb. The entire operation is encased in an incandescent-shaped glass bulb.
"The instant brightness factor makes our new hybrid halogen-CFL more versatile than other CFLs," says Kristin Gibbs, general manager of consumer marketing for GE Lighting. "It's an optimal choice for use in hallways, stairways, kitchens, bathrooms and anywhere immediate brightness is essential. Simply flip that light switch and it's at your service—immediately."
GE claims that the new GE CFLs offer eight times the life of incandescent bulbs (8,000 hours vs. 1,000 hours). The new products can replace standard 60- and 75-watt incandescent bulbs or other CFLs. The bulbs are expected to retail for $5.99-$9.99 based on product line and wattage.
Beginning in 2012, standard incandescent light bulbs will not be available as a result of U.S. federal lighting efficiency standards: 100-watt bulbs can no longer be made in January 2012; 75-watt bulbs can no longer be made in January 2013; and 60- and 40-watt bulbs can no longer be made in January 2014.

Did anyone else try and watch the Cities of the Underworld this last week on the History Channel about the "Freemason Underground of Philadelphia"?
The blurb on the show said:
It goes without saying that the most secretive organization in the world would produce some awesome hidden lairs.and
Boston and Philadelphia are renowned for their part in America's revolutionary saga, but these cities harbor an unseen connection: the Freemasons.[insert sinister music here] From the whispers of hidden tunnels and tombs beneath Boston's North End, to the incredible water world still intact under Philadelphia, the legendary secret society has left behind many hints to their role in America's rise.Ok, I'm all about a good show on Freemasonry and its roots in the development of history, heck even Vanished had some potential in telling a good story, but weren't the connections drawn in Cities just a little to stretched and over drawn?
We all know that Freemasons run the world, but did the show need to ask us at each intro and commercial break the question "was this a tunnel the Freemasons used when they prepared for the coming British Army" and then roll a mysterious square and compass across the screen? And did you notice the Thomas Paine illustration every time they started saying our American forefathers who were Freemasons. I know Paine wrote a treatise on the Freemasons, a good one too, but from everything I've read, he wasn't a Freemason.
I've watched this show since it came on, and the show is interesting, as far as shows about old caves and undergrounds go, but I thought it was a little much to try and tie some old smugglers caves, a fort, some carved beam in the basement of the underground railroad, and a water works built by a Freemason together with grand idea the fraternity. Maybe 50 minutes isn't enough time to make the connections fit, if they even fit at all. The shows host even went and paid a visit to the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania (which was beautiful by the way) to ask him about the fraternity back in the day and their role in the revolution. How that related to tunnels and catacombs that pirates used, I didn't quite get either.
I think with the growing buzz of Freemasonry, as the publishing world awaits the next Brown bestseller, we can expect a lot more programs like this. I just wish they'd ask us before they start to link all these things together.

U.K. duo the Kills is premiering a new video along with the release of its latest single "Future Starts Slow," due out on iTunes June 28 and on 7-inch vinyl July 19 via Domino. The track, off of the band's latest studio album Blood Pressures, is beat-heavy and thrives off of the tribal drumming accompanied by Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart's sing-song vocals.
The video (below) is directed by Philip Andelman and depicts a live performance by the band that captures the energy and chemistry that the Kills embodies. It gives the audience a glimpse into the setting of the band's live shows, and depicts Mosshart's powerful role as frontwoman while on stage. It also shows what the band is up to when not performing, taking down time when they step out of the spotlight.
The Kills continues its energetic performance while returning to the stage in the fall during a North American tour, with the tour dates listed below.

Beatlemania memories
The Waiting Game
The first time I heard a Beatles song I was hooked. They were fresh to my ears. I attended their concert in Indianapolis with my friend Nancy who preferred The Beachboys. We were in the nosebleed section at
the Coliseum and barely heard a note for the screaming. The amplifiers were very small by today's standards. The word ANTICIPATION best describes my obsession. I waited eagerly for them to arrive in the US. I waited for them appear on Ed Sullivan, for each album, for my concert tickets, for the concert, for each album, for class to end so I could listen to my Beatle's records. They were worth the wait.
It was frustrating waiting for their first album to be released the following
They were on Sullivan's show for three consecutive Sundays. My friends and I quickly found that The Beatles were cute, funny and talented!
I think my own enthusiasm for the group was in part created by their harmonies which is what I still love about their work It's a cliche' but they really did provide the soundtrack of my college years., eclipsing The Kingston Trio who had previously been my musical obsession.

Baylor College of Medicine is building its own private teaching hospital, without a partner. St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital became the primary, private teaching hospital for Baylor in April 2004 after Baylor ended its 50-year affiliation with The Methodist Hospital after officials clashed over Baylor's intentions to open an ambulatory care center. Baylor's relationship will continue with St. Luke's—the two institutions will continue to share programs, and Baylor's residents will continue to rotate through St. Luke's.
AT&T could cut hundreds of software jobs nationwide, according to Information Week magazine. AT&T employs about 6,600 people in the Houston area. The magazine says AT&T is expanding its relationship with an Indian outsourcer partially owned by British Telecom. The article also claims that AT&T's senior management plans to reduce the number of information technology contractors used in the U.S. for internal software development.
The soaring office vacancy rates following the tech bubble and resulting recession in 2001 likely will not be repeated if the U.S. housing market continues to soften, according to Grubb & Ellis. The Houston firm analyzed leasing and employment data. The report says the office market is moving through a classic recovery cycle as absorption is strong, construction is modest, vacancy rates are falling and rental rates are firming. It states that the recent softening of the residential real estate market is unlikely to significantly impact Houston's office market.
A new state law intended to collect taxes on the full retail value of used vehicles sold in private-party exchanges took effect Sunday. The so-called "liar's affidavit'' law requires that buyers pay sales tax on 80 percent or more of a used vehicle's retail value--regardless of the actual purchase price. The law is meant to stop the two parties in a used-car deal from agreeing to lower the official sales price so the buyer pays less sales tax. The legislature passed the law this year. State officials expect it to generate $35 million annually. Private transactions make up about one-third of the state's used-car sales. The law covers cars, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and trailers. The law does not apply to used-vehicle sales at dealerships. Dealerships will continue to calculate taxes based on sales price.
The Sterling Group of Houston and Arkansas-based The Stephens Group have completed the acquisition of a majority stake in BTEC Turbines, headquartered at the Houston Ship Channel. BTEC specializes in the refurbishment, repair and packaging of large gas turbines, as well as power plant design, construction, commissioning and support.
The Granduca Luxury Residential Hotel has opened in the Galleria area. The Italian-styled structure, according to the Houston Business Journal, is more of an extended stay hotel for the rich and famous than a traditional hotel. The six-story hotel is across from the Uptown Park shopping center. It has 130 residences, and includes a business center, exercise room, dining area and poolside veranda.
Spacehab's Astrotech Space Operations unit has received a $9.5 million contract from NASA to provide payload processing services at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. That could include observation telescopes and satellites such as the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope and the solar Dynamics Laboratory. Astrotech provides services to process spaceflight hardware for launch, including advance planning, spacecraft checkout and fueling.
The Senate has approved the final version of the 2007 Department of Defense Appropriations bill that includes $5.95 million for projects in the Houston area. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison says the funding will support initiatives critical to aerospace research and national security. It provides $4.55 million to Stewart & Stevenson to build the FMTV A2 tactical truck. Another $1.4 million will allow for the transformation of the SPRING nanotechnology consortium into a new group focused on aerospace applications of nanotechnology.
The Woodlands-based Lexicon Genetics has won a grant from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to identify potential drug targets related to sleep deprivation. The biopharmaceutical company will look at potential drugs that could enhance restorative benefits that come from sleep, as well as offset problems associated with sleep deprivation.
By one measure, the government says consumers trimmed their spending in August by the largest amount in nearly a year. The Commerce Department says consumer spending, after adjusting for inflation, dropped one-tenth of one percent last month. That's the first decline since September 2005, when activity was wrecked by Hurricane Katrina. Leaving the inflation adjustment aside, spending rose one-tenth, which was weaker-than-expected. Incomes were up three-tenths of one percent in August. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, surged two and a-half percent from year-ago levels. That's the biggest year-over-year increase in more than a decade. Consumers have seen a considerable pullback in gasoline prices over the past month.
There's word that consumers were feeling a little more upbeat about the economy during September. Those who have seen it say the University of Michigan's end of the month report on consumer sentiment for September rose to 85.4 from 82 last month. That's pretty much in line with economists' forecasts of a reading of 85.5. At the same time, though, the reading on the current conditions index for September is said to have dropped to 96.6 from 103.8. And consumers' expectation of inflation a year from now dropped from a rate of 3.8 percent--to 3.1 percent. The University of Michigan report is released only to subscribers.
A key gauge of Chicago-area business activity has hit its highest level of the year. The National Association of Purchasing Management Chicago Index rose to 62.1 this month from 57.1 in August. That came as something of a surprise to Wall Street, which was projecting a decline--to 55.1. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector, while anything below that suggests a contraction. The Chicago survey is watched closely for clues to the index of the Institute for Supply Management, which comes out Monday.
New Mexico's Environment Department has accused El Paso Electric of violating air quality regulations at its power plant in Dona Ana County. A compliance order issued by the department cites about 650 alleged violations. They involve sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions at the Rio Grande Power Plant during the past five years. El Paso Electric spokeswoman Teresa Souza says the company has yet to receive the order. State inspectors visited the plant last September and obtained copies of records documenting emission rates at the plant. After reviewing the documents, the state discovered the violations. The state claims the company failed to comply with the self-reporting requirements. The compliance order proposes that the company pay a civil penalty of up to $15,000 a day for each violation. El Paso Electric can request a hearing with the Environment Department and enter into settlement discussions.
Two Austin apartment complexes will be retrofitted to make them more accessible for people with disabilities. It's part of a settlement to a discrimination lawsuit the U.S. Justice Department filed against 10 companies involved in the design and construction of the facilities. The federal government says that the settlement requires court approval. The companies have to rework the parking areas, walkways, the interior of ground-floor units and common areas at the St. John's Village and Hunting Meadows Apartments. They also will pay $10,000 in civil penalties to the government. A lawsuit against the developers, builders, architects and engineers alleged the dwellings didn't include features that make them more accessible to people with physical disabilities. The companies are Legend Communities, which does business as SDS Austin Communities; Randall Jones Engineering; Alexander Consulting Engineers, which does business as Professional Design Group; Trugreen Landcare, which does business as Land Design Studio; Hatch Partnership Architects; Danze & Davis Architects; St. John's Housing Partnership; SMDC Development; Decker Lane Partners and SDCW Development.
A Texas businessman is donating $3 million to create an engineering endowment in Mississippi. The funding will allow Jackson State University engineering graduates to seek advance degrees at Mississippi State University. Dave Swalm is founder of Houston-based Texas Olefins. The company makes petrochemicals. Swalm is a 1955 chemical engineering graduate of Mississippi State.
The state's famous anti-litter slogan "Don't Mess With Texas" has won the third annual Advertising Week Walk of Fame competition in New York City. The 20-year-old public service campaign slogan was created by Austin advertising firm GSD&M for the Texas Department of Public Safety. The slogan beat out Nike's "Just Do It," Maxwell House's "Good to the Last Drop," and "Got Milk?" from the California Milk Processors Board.

SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON OUTREACH & TOY RUN, INC. (SCOOTR) is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit corporation. Formed in 1998, SCOOTR is the only "motorcycle oriented" organization in Oregon formed solely for the purpose of providing assistance to families and benefiting the community. SCOOTR hosts three main events each year; the ICEBREAKER POKER RUN, on the third weekend in May; the SUMMER ERUPTION, a camp out with music, games and raffles, on the third weekend of July; and the TOY RUN dance and kids' party with Santa and a live band, on the third Saturday in November.
In addition to providing financial assistance for medical and living expenses to families in need, SCOOTR makes regular contributions to the Air Life of Oregon for pediatric equipment and LaPine Parks & Recreation district. SCOOTR has also made contributions to Grandma's House, LaPine schools, Girls ASA softball, LaPine High School Drug & Alcohol free graduations, LaPine High School Rodeo team, FBLA, NJROTC, Christmas Valley Boosters, Gilchrist schools, and the Trees of Joy. SCOOTR also works with other organizations, assisting with "Benefits" for specific community members, as needed. For example, eye glasses for a six year old boy in Christmas valley, and household assistance for two teenage girls who's mother died of Cancer. The main purpose of the organization, however, is to provide food, clothing and toys to families in South Central Oregon at Christmas. In 2006 alone, SCOOTR spent over $17,000 filling the wish lists of local kids. Over $12,000 of that money was spent on clothing and shoes. Distribution of these items, along with the toys and food collected at the Toy Run dance, is coordinated with the LaPine Christmas Basket Association. Our goal is to make certain that no child is forgotten at Christmas.
All proceeds from SCOOTR events, raffles, sales of t-shirts, patches, and the "Bells, Stars & Trees" campaign, go back to the community. Operating expenses are minimal thanks to the generous contributions of local businesses and countless volunteer hours.
Please join us; by helping us help kids.

Square Enix revealed this week a new engine that should help them perform general purpose game development for worldwide audiences. This project will be some of the first true fruit borne from the company's purchase of Eidos. This past May Square Enix teased what they called a "next generation engine†in a recruitment listing. At the CESA Developers Conference in Yokohama yesterday they revealed that tech to be the "Luminous†engine. With former Sega programmer and designer Yoshihisa Hashimoto heading up the project along with Hiroshi Iwasaki, "Luminous†will incorporate the tech that Eidos has been using for games like Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days and Deus Ex Human Revolution.

Square Enix announced The Last Remnant for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 back in 2008. But the game was only published for the Xbox 360 and recently ported over to the PC. Since then, the PS3 version never came and ultimately never heard of again. But there is a small glimmer of hope; Amazon Japan has listed The Last Remnant for the PS3. Don't get too hyped up fanboys and fangirls! Square Enix has not confirmed anything yet, so this might be shot down in a matter of days. Also, Amazon is not taking any pre-orders so don't bother taking out your credit card just yet. Read More
The Last Remnant may have seen its last hope for a PlayStation 3 release quietly fade away, as the newest issue of the retail promotional "Square Enix Magazine," volume 13, does not show the title on its upcoming release calendar. "A release calendar in the back of the issue lists titles of note from the company and its publishing/distribution partners (Ubisoft, Disney, and Taito)," notes Andriasang. "Last Remnant 2 is not listed in the date TBA area, which includes such games as The Third Birthday, NieR Gestalt/Replicant, and Front Mission Evolved." Despite this, however, The Last Remnant still appears on the PS3 release calendar on Square Enix's website, as well as the release calendar of the latest Weekly Famitsu. As such, there may still be hope, especially as Andriasang is currently unable to verify whether or not the title was even showing up in prior issues of Square Enix's magazine. Read More

For some time, Square Enix has been thought of as something of an ally to Sony, publishing many of their biggest titles, such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, on platforms which carry the PlayStation brand. However, Microsoft has been making great inroads lately to offer a greater variety of RPGs -- Square Enix's bread and butter. And just this past July, they rocked the gaming world by revealing that they would be making the next installment of Final Fantasy a multiplatform affair, releasing it in the West on the Xbox 360.

In three weeks, Square Enix will be holding their Jump Festa '09 event at Makuhari Messe, and they have quite a lineup of games, though only Dragon Quest IX, the Kingdom Hearts titles, and Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road II are announced as playable.

The Last Remnant just came out last week but that doesn't mean that Square-Enix is done with adding stuff to the game. All next month you'll be able to download yourself a handful of add-ons to the game and surprisingly enough, if you want to get them all you'll only have to spend 100 Microsoft points. Wait... isn't this the same company that charged Wii owners for every tiny little thing added to My Life as a King? The first two free packs, Challenge Pack 1: "Purgatory's Sins" and "The Key of Ancient Ruins" will be release on December first, with the former containing a new set of difficult guild challenges and the latter introducing a new area to explore. Then December 15th sees the release of the "March to War" set, which is the three special pre-order formations for 100 MS points. Finally, on December 22nd they release Challenge Pack 2: "The Price Of Lies", which is as free as the first one. Note that all of these dates are for gold Xbox Live Members, with silver members getting access a week later. -- Kotaku Even though the reviews have been so-so I still think I'm going to be checking out The Last Remnant. Like a million other kids out there with spiky hair, I have a small place in my heart for a good JRPG. It doesn't have to be great, it just needs to have a troubled youth who goes on a quest, falls in love with an exiled princess, and saves the world from a bunch of dudes with crazy hair and tattoos. I have a feeling that I will like this game and just about any other JRPG released in the past 10 years. Read More
Microsoft got off to a shaky start in Japan with the original Xbox, but have begun to make great strides in establishing itself with the Xbox 360. And while it may have a way to go yet, there is confidence that it will continue to grow in the Japanese gaming market, including the confidence of Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto:We expect the Xbox 360 to increase its Japanese market presence even more in the coming months. There is a growing interest in Xbox 360 among Japanese users, due to the release of familiar titles, the increasing appeal of overseas titles, and the excellent reputation of the Xbox 360's network services. -- Shinji Hashimoto, to Edge OnlineHowever, as is clear by their choice to decline bringing Final Fantasy XIII to the Xbox 360 in Japan, they are not putting all of their eggs into one basket:Square Enix develops its titles for users all around the world. We would not make decisions regarding hardware based solely on the Japanese user base. [Star Ocean 4, Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery] were developed with the global market in mind, so by releasing them on the Xbox 360, which enjoys a high market share in the United States and Europe, we are hoping to gain more recognition from this large user base. -- Shinji Hashimoto, to Edge OnlineAs the article notes, though, Microsoft will probably not be left wanting for a challenge in further establishing themselves in Japan, as there is still a limited interest in Western games, and not many consumers are exploring 360 titles beyond those which initially spurred their decision to purchase the unit.

I have cancer. I purchase my health insurance in the individual market. Which should worry me more?
October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with the annual display of pink ribbons and awareness campaigns, one could barely make it through a day without hearing about breast cancer on the radio, on television, the newspapers and online.
I was certainly on board for the cause. On September 27, I encouraged Care2 readers to Blog For Your Breasts. On October 4, I wrote that Breast Cancer is Not Just for Women. The following day, I questioned the effectiveness of the I Like It on the Kitchen Table campaign. On October 19, I shared Dr. Hilda Hutcherson's suggestions for Three Lifesaving Tests for Women, one of which is the mammogram.
All the while, an aggressive and fast-growing tumor was growing inside my own right breast. With all I knew about breast cancer, I did not know that a tumor could grow so quickly. I did not see this train coming until it hit me.
There is no history of breast cancer in my family. In fact, I am unaware of any cancer in my family. That, plus my lifestyle choices, put me in a rather low-risk category. A mammogram of just 13 months ago was clean.
I found the lump myself and was in a doctor's office the very next day. But that first visit to the doctor spoke volumes about health care in America. When he handed me a receipt on which he wrote the words "breast lump," my thoughts were not about my health. Instead, I was terror-struck by the knowledge that those words would make their way to my health insurer. I already have multiple sclerosis… and an individual insurance policy.
With annual increases of 30-35 percent in previous years, my fear is not unfounded. But here's the kicker. A few days later, I received a letter from my insurer. My heart pounded as I opened the envelope, certain that some new horror was about to befall me. Instead, I read:
"Health care reform is now law… You are eligible for the following benefits beginning on January 1, 2011: No lifetime dollar limits or maximums."
What that means at this particular time in my life is difficult to put into words. My premiums, high deductibles, and co-pays weigh heavily, and this new benefit is of no small comfort.
Meanwhile, the Republican Congressman from my district has retained his seat. The number one item on his agenda? Repeal the health care law.
The Affordable Care Act is not the health care law we wanted, but it is poised to begin moving us toward a more compassionate and fair system, one where concern over life and death issues would trump fear of insurers. Basic security to health care. What a concept!
I have many decisions to make now and in the months to come with regard to family, employment, and finances. Because of my experiences with multiple sclerosis, I expect to have my share of hassles with billing departments and my insurer. That's a given.
I hope that I do not also have to witness the hard-won battle for health care unravel.

I know so many people who are supposedly well educated who are dead set against health care reform (who do not work in the health care profession), but they don't bother to understand that before this, you could lose your health insurance for filing claims. I was denied a mammogram by two hospitals where I live because 'We don't accept that insurance'. Two months before, at one of the hospitals one of my co-workers had had open heart surgery, and another had had a baby--within a week of each other! And I couldn't get a mammogram? We have excellent health care facilities, and the best doctors in the world--if you can afford them!
Thank you all! We need this health care..Thank you Ann for sharing so much, hang in there!
Dear Ann, my prayers and thoughts are with you, I will think and believe ONLY positive in that you are soon deemed "cancer free", are a survivor.
My dad has been undergoing treatment for lung cancer for 14 months now, from the time of diagnosis I've never left the firm belief he will beat it, most recent PET scan result will be given on Wed, no area of activity showing is the only outcome I will accept as what is again the result. Cost of one PET scan, 8K, and based on liability reasons, the oncologist will not commit to any statement of being in remission, 8K cost, but a test that results are not specifically definitive. My parents would not have been able to afford needed treatments w/o having had insurance that cost them a fortune in prediagnosis time, the premiums, copays, coinsurance pymts are so expensive despite paying outrageous premiums, this scenario not uncommon. Those who wish to repeal healthcare reform are heartless, they have a spare no expense free to them policy, insurance companies have billions in reserve, pharmaceutical companies are zillionaires. The reality that health insurance is ran strictly as a business, NO regard for living being health and wellbeing doesn't matter, it is what any treatment or patient costs insurance companies. My state HMO openly states "we treat acute and terminal to a degree, end date must be there, we do not pay for chronic, it is not cost effective, our bottom line", yes, change from this mindset long overdue.
I bet all our congress and senate members and their families enjoy the Health care coverage we the people help fund for them while they deny the same to those less fortunate. I say take theirs away and I they just might have a change of heart
I recently had to have a breast biopsy after I noticed a lump during a monthly self-exam. Thankfully it was benign, but I am so afraid of my health insurance dropping me anyway. I work in personal injury law, I know how nasty and under-handed insurance companies can be.
Pulling for you! I cringe reading some of these comments. What do you think of "Miss Manners And the Big C" article by C. Hitchens? I would like to see such a thing devised and widely published as this is an all too common 'problem' for everyone.
Thank you for posting this. I believe we need to keep health care reform in law. My main fear of republicans taking over the house is that their main agenda will be to repeal this law.

It's best to examine the most common talking points against Wright to see if they're in step with the most complete source of evidence at our disposal -- Wright's stats and splits, thanks mostly to the amazing baseball-reference.com.
David Wright can't hit at Citi Field: This is a popular strike on Wright of late, and it's justified by Wright's .785 OPS in his home park against a 1.057 mark on the road. So yes, thus far, Wright has not hit at Citi Field. That is true.
But will it continue? I'm skeptical. It just so happens that Wright's best stretch of the season corresponded with the Mets' recent 10-game road trip, and there's no real reason to believe it was brought on by the escape from Citi Field. Subtracting that trip's first eight games, during which Wright went 15-for-25 with 11 walks, he has a road OPS of .855 -- much more in keeping with his stats at Citi.
Of course, that leads to a simple chicken-versus-egg discussion. One can argue that Wright never would have gone on such a tear at Citi Field because he can't hit there. It appears way more likely, though, that Wright's hot hitting coincidentally happened on the road and the uneven split so far is the fallout from a relatively small sample size.
So while the evidence that exists so far supports the conclusion, smart money says there's simply not enough evidence. As a point of comparison, Evan Longoria has a 2009 home/road OPS differential of -.218, not terribly far off Wright's -.266 mark, yet Longoria had nearly equal OPSes at home and on the road in 2008. Last year, Justin Upton posted a 1.039 OPS at home and a .562 mark on the road, but this season he has a .924 OPS at home and a 1.112 OPS on the road. What does that mean? Most likely nothing, and that's just the point. These stats sometimes take a long time to balance out, and Wright hasn't had enough at-bats in Citi Field yet to draw any firm conclusions.
Wright is struggling because he's not going the other way: This is a common complaint among would-be scouts calling into WFAN. The Wright of old, they say, always hit the ball to the opposite field and the 2009 incarnation is trying too desperately to pull the ball.
The problem is there's really little that suggests he's even taking a pull-heavy approach. In 2009, 24 percent of the balls Wright has hit in fair territory have been to the opposite field, compared to 16 percent in 2008 and 21 percent across his career.
Naturally a lot depends on the situations and pitches Wright has to work with, but it's also silly to say definitively that he should not be trying to pull the ball. Across his career, Wright has a 1.396 OPS on balls he's hit to the left side, against an .887 OPS on balls hit straightaway and a .943 OPS on balls hit to the right side.
Yes, at his best Wright finds hits to all fields and this season he hasn't had many to right field. But since he's hitting the ball that way at least as frequently as he always does, it's reasonable to argue that Wright has simply been unlucky while going to right field and the tendency is more fallout from a small sample. Speaking of which:
Wright is lucky to be hitting .333: This one is probably true. In 2009, Wright has a .460 batting average on balls in play -- way beyond his career .348 line and not in keeping with his 22.7-percent line-drive rate.
Still, if BABIP can be expected to even out in time, generally so too can home-runs per fly ball. Wright has homered on only 6.3 percent of his fly balls in 2009 but has a career rate of 14.6 percent. That could be the product of playing half his home games in Citi Field, but Wright hasn't been homering on the road, either. Plus, there's still no evidence that Citi Field even suppresses home-run totals.
Some have argued that Wright and several other Mets have adjusted their approach for the new park and taken that new approach with them on the road, leading to fewer home runs and more singles. It's hard to entirely dismiss that possibility, but Wright's groundball, fly-ball and line-drive rates this season are similar to his career lines. In other words, he's not hitting the ball on the ground any more than he normally does, so it's difficult to conclude that he's made some sort of major adjustment.
The bottom line: In the first two months of 2009, Wright homered less frequently and struck out more often than he normally does. Neither is a good thing, to be sure. But Wright has had similar power outages in his career, most notably in 2006, when he hit only six home runs after the All-Star break. That instance was chalked up to either fatigue or a change of approach following Wright's impressive performance in the Home Run Derby, but it could just as easily be coincidence.
The strikeouts are more troubling and tougher to explain, especially because Wright's strikeout pace decidedly picked up in the second half of 2008 and hasn't really slowed down. Still, Wright has whiffed with some frequency for the length of his big-league career, and I'm sure a stretch of 53 K's in 48 games really falls safely within the realm of standard deviation.
It's natural to try to diagnose Wright's problems in the early goings of 2009, but ultimately imprudent. I know I sound like a broken record, and I know it's tough to keep in mind two full months into a season, but this season's stats fall across a relatively small sample compared to the much larger one that is Wright's entire career. The good news is that, due either to luck or some adjustment that can't be accounted for in Wright's rates, the balls he has put in play have fallen for hits at an enormously high rate. If that's something real and lasting -- which I doubt -- then, well, great: A .432 on-base percentage makes Wright an incredibly valuable player even without a ton of power, and even with a lot of strikeouts.
More likely, though, it's just the specter of random chance rearing its head again. I'll resist grandiose statements about Wright's season and tendencies until there's much more evidence to support them.

Robert Shingledecker announced the immediate availability for download of the Tiny Core 4.7.3 Linux operating system.
Tiny Core is a distribution that is highly modular and made use of with community-built extensions. Its ultimate goal is to create an operating system that is both easy to use and very small.
Highlights of Tiny Core Linux 4.7.3:
• The system integrity has been improved by updating the Core scripts to directly call busybox ash and useBusybox function;
• tce-load has been updated to improve module detection;
• filetool.sh dryrun report has been updated for handling spaces in filename;
• The scripts now explicitly call #!/bin/busybox ash and the useBusybox function (this should improve the situation where one loads bash and wishes external scripts to function with the usual #!/bin/sh).
Check the official announcement for a complete list of changes.
Download Tiny Core Linux 4.7.3 right now from Softpedia.

Windows 8 is the latest operating system introduced by Microsoft and comes with various new features. It is designed to work on touch screen platform as well as on regular computers. Like two sides of a coin, Windows 8 also has its merits and demerits. The detailed comparison given below will help you better if you are not familiar with Windows 8. First, let us go through what we liked in Windows 8.
Modified Start Screen
Windows 8 has a well-refined Start Screen with a new user interface. The old start menu is no longer there and it is designed in a way that suites tablet computers also. The new start screen holds all the information that you need in one place. You have the access to websites, contacts, applications, updates etc from here. It also contains the normal desktop feature with a new taskbar and better file management for regular users who find it difficult to navigate with the new Start screen.
Some of the other interesting features are,
- Touch apps – The new touch feature enables the users with tablets also to access Windows 8.
- Color backgrounds – The new color feature setting allows you to switch between different colors when you launch Windows 8.
- Windows Surface RT – It is a tablet from Microsoft that offers a similar experience as Apple's iPad.
- Windows Store – Like Apple's Mac store, Windows Store offers lot of applications to download for purchase as well as for free.
Other features
- You can enjoy music from all over the world using the Xbox music app.
- Use any new Windows 8 computer with your personal settings like display options, background etc by simply signing in with your Microsoft account. Cloud feature allows access to your pictures, files etc from anywhere around the globe.
- Fully loaded latest Windows Defender, Firewall and Updates offer maximum protection to your computer.
- It works faster than Windows 7 by utilizing the power in a more efficient way. You can easily browse, play games, and watch moves etc in a speedy manner.
- If you have Windows 7, then you can retain your personal settings and files without losing them. All programs that are compatible on Windows 7 are compatible on Windows 8 too.
- If your computer is 2 years or more old, then you may face compatibility issues while upgrading to Windows 8 due to insufficient system requirements.
- The tutorial is insufficient for new users to familiarize the features. New users figure out switching between applications, finding restart button etc. frustrating as they consume time.
Comparing the advantages, common Windows 8 problems can be neglected. A little patience and a mindset to learn the features of Windows 8 can override some of the silly Windows 8 problems. Other complicated issues can be sorted out by contacting the Windows 8 Technical Support Team.

Case to add bulk to the note2
I'm probably in the minority here, but I would like to add some thickness to this handset. My default case to do this is the Trident Kraken as it offers awesome protection and the company offers great customer service.
I was thinking of maybe trying something new.
If anyone has a case they would like me to try and review for them, leave a post in here. Whichever is the most asked for I will order next week. After some use I'll do a little review and post it. Please no otter box, as there are a zillion reviews of this case all over the internet.

Re: Case to add bulk to the note2
Interesting how you want to add bulk to the phone lol. I somewhat agree with you however to the extent that the phone feels a little bit better in the hand with some added bulk. While I am not complaining about the form factore of the device, for the size of the phone its thin (which is good don't get me wrong) but adding that little extra bulk to the device seems to make a little easier to handle.

Re: Case to add bulk to the note2
I started going for big bulky cases as well. For me it just adds grip and doesn't make me worry about it falling on the screen and cracking like my GNex. I have 2 different leather wrap around cases for the phone and probably wouldn't buy anything else. I do take it out of the case when I am reading at home on the couch but other than that, this thing is always wrapped up. Some people think it looks ridiculous, but I don't put much stock in their opinions.

Re: Case to add bulk to the note2
I'm a firm believer in thicker is better to a point. I wish Sammy would have just made the device thicker and put in an even bigger battery. This one is great, but I can't have enough battery.
I'll get a Trident case for sure. I was just wanting to give something else a try and maybe try it before someone who's on the fence about a certain case. Any cases you guys want feedback on that are big/thick you haven't tried?

I'll second the request for Ballistic. I'll probably get either that or the OtterBox Commuter, still on the fence.

Re: Case to add bulk to the note2
Update : I received the Bear Mountain case today. The seller just shipped ballistic today. Blah.
First impressions of the one I have are mixed.
Seems sturdy enough, could replace my wallet, access to everything is need access to (Spen access could be better), neato landscape kickstandish feature thingy.
Awkward to make a call with, annoying to unsnap the button every time I want to use the device, could do with another credit card slot.
Real review after real use.

Re: Case to add bulk to the note2
I just picked up the otterbox for my Note 2. I have had an otterbox on every phone that I have owned pretty much. I got the black one, I was hoping for a camouflage case (thats my favorite color) but no dice yet. It adds just enough thickness and grip to feel good in my hand but it also slides easily in an out of my jeans pocket, granted I'm not the type of guy to wear skinny jeans as is the trend now days. But I also do frequently carry it at work on the holster, it makes life a lot easier. I bought it because of my job I work with a lot of dirty greasy electrical gear off of air craft and the black otterbox was the best option for me. I did have it in a belkin flip cover leather case which I definitely enjoyed but it just wasnt sturdy enough for my daily life. Im an outdoorsy guy and I just need good drop protection. Oh yeah did I mention otterbox has a lifetime warranty on their cases? Believe me I have used it MANY times.

As Suffolk University approaches its centennial, it is honoring members of the academic community who have made outstanding contributions by awarding them Heritage Medallions.
President David J. Sargent and David Robbins, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and chair of the Heritage Committee, awarded four medallions during a September 21 ceremony at the University's new space at 73 Tremont Street. The ceremony was scheduled in connection with the celebration of Founder's Day, September 19. That date marked 98 years since University founder Gleason Archer began teaching law to a group of working men in his Roxbury parlor.
Medallions were awarded to the following:
H. Edward Clark, an English department faculty member from 1961 to 1985 and founder and director of the Collection of African American Literature at Suffolk University, 1971-1985. In managing the collection for many years, he brought numerous African-American writers and artists to the University. He served on the Educational Policy; Promotion, Tenure, and Review; Admissions; Minority Student Affairs; Alumni Affairs; and Community Relations committees.
Benson Diamond, an SSOM Accounting and Business Law faculty member from 1955 to 1993, was acting chair of the Accounting Department, 1980-1983, and chair of the Business Law Department, 1987-1993. He was a member of the first Promotion, Tenure, and Review Committee for the colleges and sat on virtually every other faculty standing committee. He founded and served for years as the faculty adviser to the Society for the Advancement of Management undergraduate co-curricular organization.
The late Malcolm M. Donahue was a Law School faculty member from 1956 to 2002 and served as associate dean of the Law School from 1973 to 1991, a time of considerable growth in academic excellence at the school. In his 46 years with the University, Donahue carried on a family tradition; he was the son of longtime Suffolk Treasurer and Trustee Frank J. Donahue.
Mary A. Hefron was College and SSOM recorder from 1963 to 1966, then served as College and SSOM registrar, 1966-1997. In addition to managing academic and registration information and processes, she served as a mentor to staff members and to thousands of students. Hefron is an enthusiastic follower of Suffolk athletics and always provided a sympathetic ear — and, where possible, a helping hand — for student-athletes.
About 30 significant contributors to Suffolk University have been honored with Heritage Medallions since they were introduced in the 1980s, with length of service and quality of contribution considered when choosing honorees. This ceremony marks the resumption of the Heritage Medallion tradition.

Found this gem on Sandra Rose . It made me really stop what I was doing and ask the question. Do people value relatiosnhips anymore. I remember a time when women, used to go off on dudes for trying to holla at them while in a relationship. I think those days are long gone. With so many of us trying to keep up with the Jones' a many of us will over look the significant other for a little cash flow. Hush money if you will.
If you have no clue who these two people pictured are, I encourage you to watch Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. It's just like Young and the Restless, just with random black people. On this show, the girl pictured Joseline, is a side-piece for the man pictured, Stevie J. He has a wife or baby mother named Mimi. The three are entangled in a love triangle, that leaves me speechless every week.
Why wont the women leave? Why if they wont leave, can't they get along? These questions are deep rooted in more serious questions like, Where is your dad? Or, how stupid are you? But, I personally think we all have been involved in a love triangle. I guess, the question is, how long did you stay there before you realized you were ok being left alone?
I really try to respect people relationships, to keep things simple always put your cards on the table. If you keep it honest, there is still room for feelings to be hurt. Best policy is, if you are relationship and you want to be single. Be single.
So Deion Sanders called into my favorite morning show K104FM Morning Show with my favorite ladies Lady Jade and DeeDee. He told them that Pilar's lawyer fabricated or embellished about her wanting to get back together. He goes on state that, Deiondra was just defending him, but she should have took a higher route. Yall just have to be the judge of it, give it a listen!
Zeralyn's thoughts: This is some real made for TV type of drama. If they make a Lifetime or low budget BET movie can I play the ghetto mail lady. It's been rumors of him cheating, it's been rumors of her cheating. Who Cares?! Why can't this just be a simple procedure like getting your back popped? If they both are cool with one another, and they both want a damn divorce, go get one. All these, TMZ and MTO reports are making me want to stay out of the marriage license office…
If God is the center of their life, give it to him and move on. I'm tired!
I'm guessing Kat Von D can't let go and let God. Over the weekend the famous tattoo artist took to her FACEBOOK and said a mouthful. She let her Facebook friends know, that her ex Jesse James, cheated on her over 19 times.
Now where I get confused is how you think a man, who you met while married, made you think he would be faithful to you? Or HELLO, Sandra Bullock divorced him for all of his extra marital affairs.
Girl, may I suggest a diary, you are acting no worse than a regualer girl who can't go to a therapist. Get over it boo, CLEARLY he has.
So I guess Omarion was engaged in 2009 to the very pretty Deborah Ryder…Apparently, along that time Omarion made a song called "I Think My Girl is Bi". Very interesting, considering that the top story on MTO was that she is now a stud. Well, who here is surprised? I don't know if Omarion is gay. (Considering that is among the top 5 searches on Google) I do know, that he gives me a very ghetto kool-aid sugary sweet vibe. But so what, I think she is hot!!!! Yay! for the lezzies!
But now I am curious, did she ever play strap-on games with him? Did she always like girls? Did he drive her to be this way? Some one help! This reminds me of Kanye and Amber Rose. You speculate why. Any who! Check out some pics of the two together and a video to his song. He knew then she liked girls.
Well, I don't know how this foolishness lasted as long as it did. After he destroyed his marriage with Sandra Bullock, why did she even want his ass? Do some of you women really think that you can change people? Or do you even think people change after a few months or years? I am not going to say it's impossible but not likely.
She tweeted about the break-up, not going into detail. He reportedly told People that the split was because of distance.
Well of course he was cheating LOL I'm happy she is rid of him she could do a lot better. I'll be sure to watch LA INK just so I can laugh at Jesse lame ass.
