TG Therapeutics inked a license agreement with LFB Biotechnologies and GTC Biotherapeutics for worldwide, commercial rights to Ublituximab. The compound is a chimeric mAb targeting an epitope on the CD20 antigen found on B lymphocytes.
Separately, TG Therapeutics closed a capital raise, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $25 million. The financing will be used primarily to fund the continued clinical development of Ublituximab and general corporate purposes.
Additionally, TG Therapeutics became a majority-owned subsidiary of Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, which intends to change its name to TG Therapeutics. TG Therapeutics was formed as a spinout from LFB Biotechnologies (minority stake) to focus on Ublituximab for the treatment of various B-cell proliferative disorders.
LFB Biotechnologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of LFB that focuses on the group's R&D and biotech activities in two core areas: mAbs and technological innovations in biomanufacturing. GTC Biotherapeutics is a wholly owned subsidiary of LFB Biotechnologies that develops, supplies, and commercializes therapeutic proteins produced through transgenic animal technology.
Ublituximab has reportedly been bioengineered for enhanced biological activity with an increased ability to trigger an immune response, delivering superior antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) effects to aid in B-cell depletion. Ublituximab has displayed high single agent activity in a Phase I/II trial in patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It is being developed in multiple oncology and autoimmune indications and was granted orphan status in Europe and in the U.S. for B-cell CLL.

Arf, I wanted to enter with this kind of approach... I'll try to find something else... Good luck with that!
Nice idea, reminds me of one of my recent challenge entries where I had glaciers, too, but receding, not growing.
Love the concept
People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

This was, of course, way too ambitious of a concept to start so near the end of the month (and a lot of info to convey, with population movements, changing terrains, etc.). I'll do the best with it I can in the time that I have.
More sketching out. Rivers and cities (I've roughed out roads too, but in such a sloppy way that making that layer visible makes the map incredibly fugly.)

Looks like a good start. Hope you manage to finish it in time.

we are installing a ums server, and this server needs to get ums mails (mails with voice, fax, sms attached) forwarded from the zimbra mail server.
The ums mails have a sender like email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com. Mails for these domains should be routed to the ums server.
AFAIK I need to configure a transport map to do this. According to http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3928, I should be able to add one.
Since I am rather new to Postfix and Zimbra configuration, and I don't want to break my current configuration:
How can I add the transport map and what files do I need to change so Zimbra won't overwrite the changes at the next boot / update (examples would be great)?
Any help would be appreciated!

KC Donnelly Externship Guidelines
Superfund Research Program
This page contains Externship Guidelines, background information, and links to externship opportunities.
Externship Opportunities
Annual KC Donnelly Externship - Promotion of Translational/Transdisciplinary Efforts in Graduate and Post-Doctoral Research (Guidelines for Applicants)
What is the KC Donnelly Externship?
The Superfund Research Program (SRP) announces administrative supplements named in honor of Dr. KC Donnelly, Department Head of Environmental and Occupational Health, Texas A&M University, who passed away on July 1, 2009. Dr. Donnelly's research consisted of studying environmental exposure and genotoxicity of complex chemical mixtures. He was also a dedicated mentor to his students and post-doctoral researchers, instilling in them the importance of applying their knowledge and findings to communities exposed to environmental contaminants.
The SRP recognizes a compelling need to promote transdisciplinary and translational research among early investigators (e.g., graduate students/post-doctoral researchers) which includes the recruitment of talented researchers and improving the quality of the educational and training environment. The purpose of these supplements is to provide current SRP-funded graduate students/post-doctoral researchers with translational/transdisciplinary opportunities and experiences within other SRP-funded centers, government laboratories (EPA, ATSDR, NIEHS), or other agencies (state, local, Tribal). Examples of these types of externship experiences include:
- A graduate student performing laboratory research would like to learn a novel analytical technique at another SRP funded center to enhance his/her research project.
- A post-doctoral researcher conducting epidemiology research would like to understand how their results may apply to risk assessment at a federal agency.
- A graduate student conducting remediation research would like to participate in a community engagement activity at another SRP funded center.
Who is eligible for an Externship?
To be eligible, an applicant must be:
- A graduate student (Master's or Ph.D.) or a postdoctoral researcher (status must be maintained for duration of externship).
- Conducting research/activities in any SRP R01 grant or project/core within an SRP Center.
(Note: If the grant is in a no-cost extension, the grantee should contact the Program Administrator assigned to the grant to discuss the specific nature of the no-cost extension and plans to submit an application.)
What does the recipient of the Externship receive?
- Support for up to three (3) months consisting of supplies, travel, and housing costs for the duration of the externship (amount not to exceed $10,000 direct costs).
- Travel funds to attend the SRP Annual Meeting where the recipient is invited to present their research. These costs should be included in the application budget.
What are the steps in the submission process?
SRP highly encourages the student/post-doctoral researcher to develop and write the application, but the official application must be submitted by the Center Director (for P42s) or the Principal Investigator (for R01s) from the parent institution. The applicant and Principal Investigator are strongly encouraged to contact their respective Program Administrator (listed on the Notice of Award; see contacts below) to discuss their application. They should also consult with their university's business official for guidance on developing budget pages. Applicants should also consult with their university's business official to determine that acceptance of the KC Donnelly Externship Award does not conflict with the terms and conditions of fellowships or other salary support held by the applicant.
All supplement applications must contain the following:
- PHS 398 Face page that includes:
- The title and grant number of the parent grant
- The name "KC Donnelly Externship - Promotion of Translational/Transdisciplinary Efforts in Graduate and Post-Doctoral Research".
- Signatures of the Center Director (for P42s) or the Principal Investigator (for R01s) and Business Official.
- A detailed budget (using form page 4 from PHS 398) and budget justification. The justification should contain details of supplies, travel, housing costs, travel to the annual meeting, etc.
- A copy of an official transcript from the institution where the student is currently enrolled (graduate students) or from the graduating institution (post-docs).
- A one-page biographical sketch.
- Project description that includes:
- A summary of the applicant's current research, the proposed externship project, its objectives, how the proposed project will enhance the applicant's current research, and a clear description of how the translational/transdisciplinary opportunity is within the scope of the parent grant (limited to half a page).
- A plan and timeline for the externship (limited to 2 pages).
- The description of how this supplement will enhance their skills and knowledge and their professional goals (limited to 1 page).
- A description of the mentorship plan during the externship period (e.g., frequency of communication among the applicant, the applicant's mentor, and the hosting mentor, etc.; limited to a half a page).
- Letters of Support:
Signed statements from the Principal Investigators from the parent institution and from the hosting institution where the project is to be conducted, establishing the eligibility of the candidate for support by this supplement. These statements should indicate
- The capacity/duration for which applicant has been known by referrer.
- The applicant's ability to perform the proposed externship - in particular, how the externship relates to and will further the student/post-doctoral researcher's academic/professional goals; the quality of his/her current work.
- Likelihood of a productive externship.
Note: (1) These administrative supplements must support the scope of the active SRP parent grant; (2) Facilities and administrative (F&A) costs for the applicant organization will be reimbursed at 8 percent of modified total direct costs, or at the actual F&A cost rate, whichever is less.
How many graduate students/post-doctoral researchers can apply from each institution?
Institutions with Center grants (i.e., P42) are limited to two applications per cycle; R01 investigators are limited to one application.
When is the application deadline?
Applications will be accepted between January 1 and January 31 of each year.
When will the externship announcement be made?
Review and funding decisions will occur on or about May 1st of that year.
How many externships will be awarded?
SRP expects the number of awarded supplements to be 8-10 per year.
How will the recipient be selected?
SRP will bring together a small ad hoc group of reviewers from within the Institute to critically evaluate the submitted applications. It is important that the applicant present his/her material in a manner readily understood by scientifically literate colleagues; however, applicants should not assume that all reviewers are experts in their area of research.
What is the review criteria?
Applications will be reviewed using the following criteria:
- Evidence that the proposed translational/transdisciplinary opportunity will enhance the graduate student/post-doctoral researcher's current research/activities and will benefit the applicant's professional development.
- Evidence that the proposed experience will enhance the knowledge, and/or skills of the candidate, and that the candidate will play an integral role in the activities of the project.
- Likelihood of success:
- The qualifications of the graduate student/post-doctoral researcher, including career goals, prior research training, research potential, and any relevant experience.
- Evidence of interest in environmental science.
- A plan and timeline for the research and career development experiences proposed by the candidate.
- Evidence that adequate mentorship will be provided to the graduate student/post-doctoral researcher (i.e., letters from the Principal Investigator and any other mentors involved in the proposed externship opportunity).
To whom do I submit my application?
Applications should be submitted electronically by the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) to firstname.lastname@example.com. If an institution is submitting more than one application, each application should be sent in a separate e-mail.
In the subject line, please include: "SRP KC Donnelly Externship Supplement and the P42/R01 grant number."
Please cc: Danielle Carlin (email@example.com) and your respective Program Administrator.
Whom do I contact if I have questions about the externship?
Applicants should contact the assigned Program Administrator listed on their Center Director's Notice of Award (see below for a listing of the SRP Program Administrators).

I dont wanna talk about it... lol
It's been horrible. The ranchers in the area that I hunt have been pushing their cows so it blew the elk all over. Then yesterday I got about 20 yards from a nice 6x6 but he winded me before I got a chance at a shot. I have seen some awesome bulls and am excited to get back up in a couple of days and hunt some more... Hopefully one of these days I will shoot something.

Adoption | A 30-year-old law to protect Native Americans puts adopted children who've never set foot on a reservation at the mercy of Indian tribes
At Jackie Robinson Stadium in Los Angeles, Chris Moore, 11, lines up on a long-jump pit partly shaded by shimmering magnolias. His parents, John and Terri, watch from behind a chain-link fence.
Step . . . step . . . step . . . sprint . . . leap. Sand sprays up around Chris' landing and his parents burst into applause. "Great job, Chris! Great job!" his dad yells.
The boy trots over to the fence and-there's really no other way to describe this-sparkles. Green-eyed, freckle-faced, ears poking through his strawberry-brown hair, he twines his hands through the links and grins as he reports his personal best: "Three-three-nine!"
That Chris belongs to the man and woman on the other side of the fence is signified right on his sky-blue warm-up pants, where the name "Moore" is embroidered across his left thigh. No big deal to most kids. But to Chris, being a Moore is everything.
Six years ago, when his last name was Bybee, police found Chris, then 5, and his brother Anthony, 4, in an apartment in Compton, Calif., an L.A. borough notorious for gangs, crack, and murder. The apartment was a hovel: no electricity, no running water. The toilet had overflowed and the bathtub was filled with clots of tissue and a suspect mix of murky liquids. The boys slept on cardboard boxes after their mother left them there with strangers, who, when she did not return, called the police.
The following month, in July 2000, John Moore, a Long Beach, Calif., screenwriter and his wife Terri, a second-grade teacher, opened their home to Chris and Anthony, who is dark-haired, olive-skinned, and shyer than his brother. When the boys became their foster kids, "we fell in love with them immediately and they quickly became attached to us," Mr. Moore said. "They began calling us Mom and Dad after about three to four weeks."
A month later, when no relatives had come forward to claim the boys, the Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) began assessing the Moore's home for what seemed a fast-track adoption. The Moores were overjoyed. But six months later, they say, race-matching, political correctness, and the chilly indifference of social-services bureaucrats nearly ripped a fledgling family apart.
That's because Chris and Anthony are descendants of the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska Indians. That means they're subject to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), a 1978 law that gives federally recognized Native American tribes near-complete sovereignty in adoption decisions involving children with Indian blood-even those who, like Chris and Anthony, have never had a moment's prior contact with their ancestral tribe.
Like many child welfare laws, ICWA began with good intentions. In the 1960s and '70s, American Indian children were roughly six times more likely than other kids to be removed from their family homes and placed in foster care, according to an April 2005 General Accounting Office report. Such removals resulted from a "lack of understanding of tribal cultures and child-rearing practices by state child welfare agencies and courts."
The federal government recognizes 562 tribes, each of which has a different "blood quantum" (a specified amount of tribal blood) requirement for membership. Congress intended ICWA to protect Native American families from unwarranted removal of their children, give tribes a role in making child welfare decisions, and preserve their social and cultural standards.
"ICWA protects the right of Indian children to tribal resources, to own property, to run for tribal office, and learn the roles of traditional clans," said Terry Cross, executive director of the National Indian Child Welfare Association.
But Lisa Morris, administrator of the Christian Alliance for Indian Child Welfare (CAICW) and an ICWA critic, points out that Indian children adopted by non-Indian families retain the same rights. ICWA, she said, enables tribal governments to interfere in custody battles between parents, overturn county decisions in favor of the tribally enrolled parent, and for even part-Indian kids with a non-Indian family ready to adopt them, delay placement while tribes attempt to gain custody instead.
That's what happened to the Moores. Six months passed and the Moores surrounded Chris and Anthony with friends, family, and church activities. Social workers were encouraged by the rapid bonding between the Moores and the boys. Meanwhile, no other blood relative had come forward and any "relative preference" that might have applied under California law had already expired.
Then, in December 2000, Chris' grandmother surfaced. She had had no prior relationship with the boy but told DCFS workers that she wanted custody of him. Only Chris, though-she did not want Anthony.
"The kids' social workers, therapist, and attorney all had the same concerns," Mr. Moore said. "Where has this woman been? Why should she suddenly show up now when Chris is doing so well? And how could she even consider splitting the boys up?"
Then a new wrinkle: The grandmother notified DCFS that the boys were of Native American descent. And where the young brothers had settled into a stable, loving home and were on the fast track to permanency, suddenly DCFS slammed on the brakes.
DCFS spokesman Stuart Riskin said the agency is prohibited by confidentiality rules from commenting on any specific case, or even confirming that the agency worked with the Moores. As for ICWA, he said, "We are mandated to protect the heritage and integrity of Native American children who come under our jurisdiction. We refer them back to the tribe and the tribal elders take it from there."
The Iowa tribal elders did their best to take both boys from the Moores, the couple said. A two-year custody battle ensued during which the tribe attempted to place Chris and Anthony with Chris' grandmother (who finally agreed to take both boys), even though she was white like the Moores and had no connection to the tribe.
The Moores say the boys endured forced weekend visitation in preparation to make the move. Twice before visits, Anthony vomited (a reaction a social worker said was "normal," Mr. Moore claims) and once clawed his face until it bled. Chris suffered nightmares. Meanwhile, the Moores claim that a Native American social worker in the DCFS Indian Unit had sided firmly against them-even after the grandmother told the boys' therapist that she intended to return Chris to his father, who had been in trouble with the law and had had very little contact with his son since birth. Anthony would stay with her.
All this because 30 years earlier, the boys' maternal grandfather, who was one-quarter Indian, had enrolled in the Iowa Tribe. Two generations later, Chris and Anthony were, at most, one-sixteenth Indian. But ICWA's jurisdiction is ironclad and applies whether a parent is full-blooded Indian or not.
Under the law, tribal wishes even supersede those of birth parents. In the 1989 case, Mississippi Choctaw Indian Band v. Holyfield, an unmarried man and woman who were enrolled members of the tribe gave birth to twins 200 miles from the tribal reservation. After their parents consented to release the children for adoption, they were adopted by the Holyfield family, who were non-Indian. The Choctaw challenged the adoption, but the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that the adoption was legal because the twins had never been physically present on the reservation and because they were "voluntarily surrendered" by their parents, who went to some efforts to see that they were born outside the reservation and promptly arranged for their adoption. But on appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not have intended to allow "individual Indian parents to defeat the ICWA's jurisdictional scheme simply by giving birth . . . off the reservation."
The 2005 GAO report, requested by Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas), studied ICWA outcomes but was inconclusive. The agency was able to gather data on Indian children in only five states, and child welfare agencies responding to GAO surveys often answered only half the questions. Also, researchers interviewed tribes, child welfare officials, and adoption professionals, but no adoptive or foster parents.
The report did not reflect the claims of ICWA critics that the law has so mushroomed in supremacy that social-services agencies cede authority to tribal governments even when doing so will place children in harm's way.
In 2004, for example, Emilio Rodriguez, 3, and his brother Jose, 4, were beaten so severely that doctors say Jose will probably never walk or talk again. Both boys are of Mexican and Indian descent, and they had been living in a safe and stable Palmdale, Calif., home with their paternal grandmother. But using ICWA, the Ute Indian Tribe pushed to have them moved to the home of their maternal grandmother on the tribal reservation in Utah. On Aug. 30, 2004, three weeks after the Rodriguez kids moved in with her, the grandmother blackened Emilio's eyes and beat Jose into a coma. According to U.S. District Court records, the grandmother had a lengthy history of alcoholism and had already been convicted twice of child endangerment before social services, cleaving to the letter of ICWA instead of children's best interests, placed the boys in her home.
CAICW asserts that ICWA elevates tribal heritage above any other sort of heritage. For example, if a tribe requires one-sixteenth blood quantum for membership and intervenes in an adoption case, the child's Indian ancestry is said to trump his majority heritage, even if the child is fifteen-sixteenths Hispanic.
But NICWA director Cross said the law's reach isn't based on race. ICWA governs "a political status . . . it's an issue of citizenship," Mr. Cross said. A member of the Seneca Nation of Indians, Mr. Cross told WORLD that Native American children are always better off with a tribal family. Even an itinerant placement plan, he said, in which a child moved from tribal home to tribal home-a few months with a distant aunt, several weeks with a cousin, another few months with another relative, even if those relatives were strangers-would be "superior" to placement in a nontribal home, even if the child had already bonded with foster parents for a year and was established in school.
Lisa Morris and her husband, Roland, co-founded CAICW before he died of cancer in 2004. Mr. Morris was a member of the Minnesota Tribe of Leech Lake Indians. After watching many Indian children treated poorly under ICWA, the Morrises began to speak out. But they found it difficult to penetrate the bubble of institutionalized Native Americanism.
In 1997, for example, the Senate Indian Affairs Committee held hearings to consider amending ICWA. "We asked Sen. [Max] Baucus if we could testify," Mrs. Morris said. "He said no, they had everyone they needed to testify."
Those who did testify included tribal leadership, tribal lawyers, social-services employees, and people working in the adoption industry. "You didn't see non-Indian foster parents and adoptive parents," Mrs. Morris said. "You didn't see Indian children who have grown up in white homes. You don't see people like our family who have moved off the reservation and made a different life. No one is asking why they made that choice."
Despite the legal hurdles, Chris and Anthony officially became Moores in 2002. This year, the Moores added a daughter to their family, Ashley, who is part Hispanic and also a descendant of the Lumbee tribe. At 14 and charmingly frank, Ashley had bounced around the foster-care system for seven years after being abused by her mother. She now says the whole concept of race as a basis for adoption is "crazy." After Ashley's grandfather objected to the Moores' adopting her because of their skin color, she even made a running joke of it: "Now I tell my parents, you can't help me with my homework because you're white."

TOPIC: Law Firm Mergers
DIGEST: A law firm merging with another firm need not obtain the express consent of its clients to their matters being handled by the new form of organization, but should give its clients notice of the merger if the merger would result in the clients matters being handled by a firm materially different from the one prior to the merger.
When one law firm merges into another, does it need to obtain consent from its clients to their matters being handled in the new organization?
The inquirer is a member of a firm (Firm A) that is merging into another firm (Firm B); Firm A would no longer exist and the partners of Firm A would become partners in Firm B. The inquirer wants to know whether the partners in firm A have to get express consent from their clients to the change of law firms, by, for example, asking the clients to sign and return a form.
We note at the outset that there may be issues of contract and partnership law involved in this question that the opinion does not address. In particular, the opinion does not consider the extent to which retainer agreements entered into with the old firm can be modified without the express consent of the client so that the new firm succeeds to the rights and obligations of the agreement.
The question is whether, independent of these contractual questions, there is any ethical obligation to obtain the consent of clients to their matters being handled in a new merged firm. That is, regardless of whether the client can look only to the former partners of Firm A to enforce the retainer agreement, or also to the partners of the now-larger Firm B, is there an ethical requirement of obtaining consent from all clients to their matters being handled by the new law firm?
There is nothing in the Code that directly addresses this question. The Code does prescribe that upon a sale of a law practice the client must be notified and given an opportunity to object, but that consent to the transfer of the matter to the buyer will be inferred from a failure to object. DR 2-111. No express consent is required. A sale of a law practice is a far more complete disruption of the attorney-client relationship than a merger, where the lawyers handling the matter typically continue to handle it, so we conclude that no requirement of express consent is necessary in the merger context either.
Even though there is no requirement of express consent, that does not mean that clients need not be informed of the merger. A lawyer has a continuing duty to advise clients of information and developments material to the clients decisions in connection with the matter entrusted to the lawyer. EC 7-8 states, "A lawyer should exert best efforts to insure that decisions of the client are made only after the client has been informed of relevant considerations." EC 9-2 states, "[i]n order to avoid misunderstandings and hence to maintain confidence, a lawyer should fully and promptly inform the client of material developments in the matters being handled for the client." These provisions, which have been elevated to the status of rules in the Model Rules, Rule 1.4,
(b) A lawyer shall explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation. are applications of the common law duty of all agents to keep their principal informed of material facts. Restatement (Second) of Agency � 381 (1957); N.Y. State 555 (1984). "Material facts are those which, if known to the client, might well have caused him, acting as a reasonable man, to alter his proposed course of conduct." Spector v. Mermelstein, 361 F. Supp. 30, 40, (S.D.N.Y. 1972), affd in part, 485 F. 2d 474 (2d Cir. 1973).
These general duties have usually been applied to information directly related to the matter entrusted to the lawyer, e.g., Spector, or to conflicts of interest that could compromise the lawyers ability to exercise independent professional judgment on behalf of the client, e.g., N.Y. City 1996-3 (lawyer should consider informing client when lawyer represents adversary counsel even when no consent is required). But there is no reason why the duty of an agent to inform the principal of material developments would be so limited, since factors relating to the lawyers own practice short of circumstances giving rise to conflicts of interest could certainly affect the clients decision to employ the lawyer. See generally EC 2-8 ("Selection of a lawyer should be made on an informed basis."). In the case of a sale of a practice to a new lawyer or firm, for example, the Code can be said to make the judgment that such a sale is always material, necessitating client notification and opportunity to object. DR 2-111.
Not all mergers will be material to all of the clients of the merging firms, but some may be. When a three-lawyer firm merges with a 300-lawyer firm, the clients of the larger firm will have little concern that three new lawyers have been added to the firm by way of a law firm "merger" with transfer of client matters and, perhaps, technical reformation of the partnership rather than a simple hire. In that example, however, the clients of the three-lawyer firm may well be represented by a materially different firm than the one that represented them before the merger. A client that enjoyed the status of being firm As largest client or appreciated working with a small firm may now be relegated to one among firm Bs many clients working with one or two of firm Bs many lawyers. Similarly, if a personal injury firm were to merge with a corporate law firm or a "union-side" labor law firm were to merge with a "management-side" firm, the clients of both firms might well feel the development to be material to their decision to continue to retain the merged firm. Thus, where a merger would result in the clients of one of the merging firms being represented by a materially different firm than the one that had previously represented the client (or in other cases where the lawyer knows that a particular client would view the change as material), the client should be advised of the merger and of the information that makes the merger of significance.
We do not believe it is necessary or appropriate to provide the full panoply of notice that is required by DR 2-111 upon a sale of a law practice.
DR 2-111(E) (referred to in DR 2-111(C)(4)) provides:
The fee charged a client by the buyer shall not be increased by reason of the sale, unless permitted by a retainer agreement with the client or otherwise specifically agreed to by the client. In a merger, unlike in a sale of a practice, the formerly responsible lawyers will usually continue to look after the matter, and retain an interest in keeping the client satisfied, which provides a level of structural protection for the client that is absent in a sale of a practice. Rather, the precise content of the notice given will vary with the circumstances and should be guided by the purposes of the notice: to provide the client with the information necessary to understand and, if desired, respond to a material development in the representation.
The Committee concludes that, while express consent is not required, when a merger would leave a client represented by a firm materially different from the one that had previously represented the client, the client should be notified of that fact as a matter of the lawyers general duty to advise the client of all material developments in the matters entrusted to the lawyers case.

Essex Police Records 1840 - 1881
An early policeman, sometimes called a Peeler or Bobby (Punch cartoon 1845 PD)
Essex Police Records 1840 - 1881 - officers surnames starting with the letter Co to Cu.
The first General Force Register listing all the officers is in the Essex Record Office 'ERO' under reference J/P 2/1. It covers the period 1840-1881.
Images of the records are available online, but until now the records have not been indexed by name as the records are arranged by rank and collar number. Now History House has indexed them by name with their place of birth and linked them to the image of their individual record at the ERO. There are over 2000 names on the Register. Some names are repeated as they were promoted through the ranks.
Each record gives name, age, date of joining, height, where born, previous trade, marital status and date and reason for leaving the force.
Some records give health details, grading of their conduct, and disciplinary reasons for discharge. Examples include: having got drunk first night on patrol and again next morning (after one days service!); want of bodily strength; leaving his guard in company with a prostitute; drinking on duty; refusing to transfer; and one was discharged because he was conncted with a religious group called the Memonites.
The turnover of staff was quite high in the early years as the force seemed to struggle to find suitable recruits. Many of them were former soldiers born in Scotland and Ireland. This large turnover means that many fall between between census dates and you may be unaware that your ancestor was even in the police force. So it is worth checking the list.
As from 21 January 2016 the Essex Record have changed their system, they now require registration and login to view these records. I suggest that you go through this process first to have their cookie in your browser before clicking on these links. Otherwise they will not work.
For further information on the early years of the force, other resources to research your Essex police ancestors and for records covering 1881 - 1910 see our article Essex Police Records

MT Mag book reviews: Premium page turners
There's probably not a lot of people who read more than Montana Magazine's ace book reviewer Doug Mitchell, who writes the Montana book features for each issue.
But if you're looking for some good readin' here's Doug's reviews for our May/June issue.
Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom so you can read a really great Q&A with Badluck Way author Bryce Andrews. Doug asks Andrews about his motivations to write the books, and about Andrew's conflicting feelings about the role of ranching and the role of wolves across Montana's farmlands.
As Doug writes:
In Badluck Way author and ranch hand Bryce Andrews moves the debate from policy to practice as he shares with us his year working on the Sun Ranch in the magnificent Madison Valley. In doing so, Andrews challenges us to see these debates differently because, as is often the case, the reality of a real-life decision is very different than an intellectual one.
But to describe Andrews' book as a useful and interesting academics-meets-real-life story is to significantly diminish the accomplishments of this first book from a very gifted writer.
You can read more of Doug's reviews here.

Kids And The News
It's a strange time to be watching the news and having to explain it to our older children who encounter the news whether we want them to or not. Consider some of the big news stories that have made huge headlines in the past few weeks:
Thousands of Americans have set up tent cities in U.S. communities nationwide -- outgrowths of the Occupy Wall Street movement -- protesting the widening gap between the earnings of the rich ("the 1 percent") and the not-rich ("the 99 percent"), the persistent lack of jobs and the overall feeling of betrayal experienced by twentysomethings who are saddled with college debt but are unable to find gainful employment.
Some of the protests have been peaceful. Others have become violent with police cracking down on the Occupiers, as they did recently in Oakland with tear gas and "flash-bang grenades," as the San Francisco Chronicle reported, making it look like a scene from Greece's recent austerity protests, or the Middle East where protests, both peaceful and violent, have been thriving since the spring.
Just as footage of the Oakland skirmishes was dominating the news, a new study released by the Congressional Budget Office made things look even bleaker. It found that over the past 30 years, the top 1 percent of U.S. wage earners have seen their incomes increase by 275 percent, while those in the middle - 60 percent of U.S. workers - only saw their incomes increase by 40 percent over that same time period, the CBO said.
This dovetailed nicely with the New York Magazine's recent cover story depicting unemployed twentysomethings - the very people who comprise a large proportion of the Occupy groups - as living in a "post-hope" America with writer Noreen Malone lamenting, "This is not just a rotten moment to be young. It's a putrid, stinking, several-months-old-stringy-goat-meat moment to be young." It's rainbows and unicorns out there, huh?
In the meantime, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was found and killed under murky circumstances as bloody, gory, disturbing photos and videos of him - both dead and alive - have been so widely circulated that it was almost impossible for kids who are paying any attention at all, to miss. (Luckily I was able to keep my 10-year-old from seeing the images.)
I tried to shield my 10 year old from the news. However, other people aren't doing so. I figured this out when my daughter came home telling me that she heard that the NY Times lies and that her friend's parents don't have any money because Obama keeps raising taxes. Because other kids are presenting political talking points as facts, I have started to expose her to reliable news programming and started to teach her how to analyze information for bias. I know that's heavy for a 10 year old, but the indoctrination that is attacking her is even heavier.


text: "Our city center will be bicycle-free", the municipality of Venray announced in early March. Bicycles will have to be parked on the edge of the inner-city. Those who don't comply will be fined. An exception? Hardly. Other cities like Maastricht, Eindhoven and Tilburg are also banning bicycles from their city centers."'Netwerk' was right to juxtapose their non-existent 'problem' with the real issues Amsterdam is dealing with. This broadcast spoke volumes (and at the same time 'Netwerk' pretty much exposed the flawed execution of Amsterdam's 'orphan bike' removal program, aka relentless & too eager and sloppy in its signage. As a source of mine at the Cyclists Union jokingly responded to the southern bans: "Must be something toxic in the (holy) water." Yeah, but even there not all are infected or just plain stupid. I'll make up my mind in a few months, see if any protests will have emerged by then... In any case, it should be easy to do MUCH better over here, right?

Quick Fuel Technology - BDQ-950 CarburetorWritten by on January 14, 2014 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins Mixture Mastery
The modular-style four-barrel carburetor introduced decades ago has eclipsed all other carb configurations, dominating the high performance carburetor market. Racers loved the easy tuning of the main circuit via a simple jet change, while the manufacturer could offer a broad range of carb capacities by changing the main body and baseplate. The interchangeability of parts and simple, functional design has made the 4150 configuration the small-block Chevy of carburetors.
Just like with the small-block Chevy, other manufacturers have pushed the design features and performance capabilities to levels far exceeding what the original designer may have imagined. Quick Fuel Technology (QFT) is a company that specializes in building the hot rods of carburetors. Those old Holley carbs of the 1960s did one thing well, and that was wide-open-throttle performance in a straight line. The die-cast zinc construction weighed a ton and was subject to corrosion. The flash zinc dichromate finish wore to a dull gray straight out of the box, and other than jets, critical metering orifices required drilling to effectuate a crude tuning change.
Much like aftermarket engine blocks and cylinder heads have done for the small-block Chevy, QFT took that basic modular carburetor configuration and packed in a tremendous level of performance and convenience. We tapped into the expertise at QFT and selected a 950-cfm BDQ-950 for a very high-powered Ford street/road racing engine project. This series of carb is also available in 650-, 750-, and 850-cfm capacities, with 1,000- and 1,050-cfm versions offered by QFT's custom shop. Our BDQ-950 had the familiar 4150 layout, making it a direct bolt-in for any standard 4150-flange performance intake manifold. The tuning parts and gaskets are the same pieces found in our stash of Holley parts, and even our double-pumper fuel line kit will interchange. That stuff is all standardized, but the features set the QFT apart, especially at a price point of just over the $800 mark.
Engineered Improvements
The sinister black finish is the first thing you'll notice when looking at the BDQ carb, and it's not just for looks. The high-temperature Black Diamond coating is highly chemical and fuel resistant, a critical advantage when considering the corrosive nature of today's fuel formulations. The kicker is this coating is also designed to reduce heat, with testing at Quick Fuel showing a 6 percent temperature advantage. Lower temperatures reduce the likelihood of heat soak, which can make driveability a challenge. Pick the carb up and you'll immediately feel the reduced heft, a drop of about 4 pounds owing to the carb's all-aluminum construction. You'll spy the big shatterproof sight glass windows in the bowl. These are clearly going to be appreciated when setting the floats, compared to pulling the old-fashioned bowl plugs and dribbling fuel all over the engine.
Look closer and notice the nicely shaped streamlined venturi entry, responsive downleg boosters, replaceable idle and high-speed air bleeds, and billet metering blocks and baseplate. A sharp eye will pick out the wider accelerator pump cams operating the dual 30cc accelerator pump, increasing surface area for reduced wear. You might also note there is something different about the linkage to the secondaries. If you want your airflow to come on "right now," Quick Fuel has you covered. QFT's unique linkage arrangement offers tunable secondary opening rates. The standard progression starts secondary opening at 60 percent primary opening, while a link change will time the secondary to start at just 40 percent primary engagement, or a third option for synchronized 1:1 opening.
Exploring further with a look inside the unit finds replaceable idle feed restrictions, and power valve channel restrictions, both critical to fine-tuning such a large carburetor in a demanding street/race application. You'll also see notched floats and jet extensions in the secondary to reduce the possibility of fuel starvation under acceleration. Our carb goes one step further, being prepped by the QFT custom shop with their double-edge wedge-shaped float. This design concentrates the buoyancy at the center of the float, ideal for road racing where fuel sloshing to the sides can disrupt fuel delivery.
With its advanced performance features, this QFT is as far ahead of the original 4150 carb as a custom race engine is compared to the stock 350 in your pickup. This BDQ is engineered from the start as a hot rodded carb. We have had plenty of experience with QFT's carb offerings, and recognize that the build quality and workmanship is second to none. The quality and engineering have us looking forward to putting this unit to task on the street and track.

A look down the pipe shows a beautifully contoured air entry, leading through high-gain downleg booster venturi, and replaceable air bleeds all around. There is little hiding the fact that our BDQ-950 from Quick Fuel Technology is built for performance.The on/off throttle action in road racing, autocross, or even extended street use can wear the accelerator pump cam. The wider pump cam from QFT lessens the unit loading by increasing the surface area of contact. Accelerator pump cams are still interchangeable and compatible with narrower Holley units.Giant shatterproof glass sight windows on the bowls ease setting the floats, while the four-corner idle mixture adjustment and readily accessible secondary idle speed screw greatly facilitate fine-tuning. The standard 4150 configuration means fuel line kits interchange with traditional Holley double-pumpers.The billet metering block comes with jet extensions and a matched notched float, providing a consistent fuel supply, while the power valve circuit is tunable with replaceable power valve channel restriction jets.Unlike many race-style carbs, the Quick Fuel comes with vacuum fittings, including both ported and direct manifold vacuum at the front, and a large ⅜-inch fitting at the rear. These can be employed for a variety of functions, including vacuum advance, feeding a trans modulator, operating vacuum switches, power brakes, PCV, and more. We've been frustrated on the dyno many times with carbs that don't even offer a provision to hook up a vacuum gauge.

But what of those situations where such financial security isn't a given? I hear often from readers who are truly stretching every dime they can get, even without the burden of a house payment or any significant debt - they simply aren't bringing in much money, and they have to be creative with their choices. What can we learn from them?
That's basically the premise behind Scratch Beginnings. The author, Adam Shepard, decided to take on the myths about what it takes to be successful in America. He started off with $25 in cash, the clothes on his back, and a gym bag (no job or anything else) and attempted to build the American dream in one year without using any of his contacts or personal accomplishments (in other words, a blank resume). His goal was to have, after one year, $2,500, a working automobile, and a furnished apartment.

Comments about Rawlings 3 Sunglasses:
I have bought three of these, one for my son and two for me. Each has broken more or less in the same place on the frame. The plastic frame that runs behind the top of the lens is very thin and flexes a lot when the eyeglasses are put on. Ultimately all three broke. I am not sure if Rawlings has any warrantee on this product.

Montreal, QC (Sports Network) - Erik Cole, Alex Galchenyuk and Lars Eller all
had second-period goals as the Montreal Canadiens cruised to a 3-0 victory
over the reeling New York Rangers at Bell Centre.
All three players also recorded an assist to back a 17-save performance from
Carey Price that resulted in the Montreal goaltender's 18th career shutout.
The surprising Canadiens are now 6-0-1 in their last seven games, with
Tuesday's 3-1 decision over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden included in
that stretch, and presently top the Eastern Conference with 26 points.
The Rangers, meanwhile, have now dropped a season-high three straight -- all
of which have come with injured sniper Rick Nash out of the lineup -- and have
mustered a mere three goals over that stretch.
Martin Biron stopped just 15-of-18 shots for New York, which was dealt its
seventh consecutive defeat in Montreal as well.

Sharon Osbourne might have kissed and made up with Lady Gaga on this weekend's 'X Factor' but Mrs. O's daughter, Kelly Osbourne, isn't feeling quite so forgiving.
After performing on Sunday night's results show, Gaga tweeted a snap of her posing with Sharon after presenting the 'X Factor' judge with a birthday cake for Kelly.
Lady Gaga presented Sharon Osbourne with a birthday cake for Kelly at The X Factor studio
But the peace offering backfired after Kelly took to Twitter to accuse the 'Applause' singer of 'hypocrisy' before telling her to 'eat my sh**'.
Kelly Osbourne
In the first of a series of tweets, Kelly wrote: "Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the world away?#JustSendItToME #LoveNotWar."
Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the would away? #JustSendItToME #LoveNotWar
— Kelly Osbourne (@KellyOsbourne) October 27, 2013
She then posted a picture of the cake on Instagram with the hashtags "Eat my s***" and "Hypocrisy".
And just in case Lady Gaga still hadn't got the message, Kelly then tweeted: "#StefaniStopIt!. You are so far behind you think you are first! I live for a #Cause not for the #Applause!!!!!!!"
Kelly continued: "I like desert, but I prefer the truth… it's sweeter. 'Let them eat cake' #MarieAntoinette."
#EatMyShit #Hypocrisy http://t.co/JxnFfZPZSB
— Kelly Osbourne (@KellyOsbourne) October 27, 2013
The pair's feud started last year when Gaga accused Kelly of bullying her for suggesting she was hiding a baby bump at last year's Grammys.
Their beef escalated when thousands of Gaga's 'Little Monster' fans jumped to the singer's defence and started tweeting death threats to the 'Fashion Police' star.
It prompted Kelly's mum Sharon to get involved, accusing Gaga of being a hypocrite for speaking out about bullying but not doing anything about her fans' threats to her daughter.
But after burying the hatchet with Sharon, Gaga wasn't about to rise to Kelly's bait.
Responding to her comments on Twitter, Gaga tweeted: "I didn't know it was your B-day until this afternoon. Meant as a peace offering. Happy Birthday."
Lord Sugar didn't hold back when he tweeted Simon Cowell to tell him exactly what he thought of Tulisa on 'The X Factor', telling him: "She knows nothing and talks rubbish". She responded by calling him an "ugly hobbit" and a "miserable old man". He had the last laugh though when she was axed from the show a few months later.
Mrs O just couldn't keep her true feelings about 'X Factor' contestant Steve Brookstein secret any longer during the final of the first series in 2004. She labelled the eventual winner a 'fake' and 'not what he seems' during her live tirade. Nine years on, and Sharon still bares a grudge, labelling him a 'little pillock' and a 'ball-less b*****d" upon her return to the show. Steve later tweeted: "Not looking forward to Sharon Osbourne returning to our screens will have to avoid itv."
They may be best pals again now, but for a long time things weren't pretty between the Take That-ers, after Robbie quit the group in 1995 and then failed to turn up for a televised reunion in 2005. He later said: "My problem has always been with Gary. It was always with Gary. I wanted to crush him. I wanted to crush the memory of the band - and I didn't let go. You know, even when he was down, I didn't let go. And for that I sincerely apologise." The pair made it up and recorded duet 'Shame' in 2010, before Robbie rejoined Take That for a short stint.
There isn't an insult Kerry Katona hasn't used to describe her ex husband Brian McFadden after their marriage ended in 2004. But Brain has also fought back, infamously referring to Kerry as 'some pr*ck' on Twitter. Most recently she said: "What pisses me off is that when he does fall in love, the kids come second. And that's why I think he's a w**ker." Charming.
Bet you can't name a single contestant from series four of 'The X Factor' in 2007 - that's because the whole series was dominated by the almighty cat fight between Sharon Osbourne and Dannii Minogue. Shazza called her "a spoon with hair" when she appeared on Graham Norton show, adding: "She wasn't so much a dim bulb as a bulb in a power cut. F***ing usless." Sharon later quit the show as Dannii "became too unbearable", comparing her to "a mosquito that wouldn't go away."
Once the best of friends, the pair famously fell out when Cheryl was axed from the US version of 'The X Factor' after just four days of auditions. As of July 2013, Cheryl was locked in a court battle trying to get compensation for her sacking, and instructed her lawyers to quiz Simon on how much he earns. However, the pair are now friends again, with Cheryl thanking her former boss for a gift he sent for her 30th birthday in June 2013. He also tweeted: "We are close friends again and I adore her."
All hell broke loose on the 'American Idol' set in 2010 when Nicki Minaj tired with Mariah Carey's 'divaish' ways and allegedly threatened to violence against her in behind-the-scenes footage leaked to TMZ. "I told them I'm not f*****g putting up with her f*****g highness over there. I'm gonna knock you out," she screamed. Six months of barbed comments, eye rolling and awkward tension followed, before they both quit the show after just one series.
We don't even know where to start with the beef between these two boybands. So many insults have been traded since both of them cracked America that we've lost track.
Kayne West infamously hijacked Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards, interrupting her to say, "I'm really happy for you. I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time." Swift was dumbstruck by the incident and it seemed as if she didn't want to get into it with the rapper. "I don't know him, and I've never met him, so..." she said. "I don't want to start anything because I had a great night tonight." A year later she was literally singing a different tune. At the 2010 VMAs she performed her new song "You're Still an Innocent," a reference to the previous year's incident with West, basically calling him immature. "Thirty-two and still growing up now / who you are is not what you did / you're still an innocent," she sang. Kanye didn't have any right to fire back, but of course he did. At a concert in New York City, West blasted Swift to his fans: "Everybody needs a villain, don't we? We need to blame someone at all times ... I was emotional, that was not exactly the way I wanted to word it, but I wrote it, I rode it, just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the waves and rode it and rode it." The feud seems to have blown over, as Swift wore a blouse from Kanye West's spring 2012 collection in the pages of Harper's Bazaar.
Katie Price sparked outrage when she labelled Kelly Brook a heifer after seeing snaps of her in a bikini. The pair threw a string of insults at each other over the following weeks before Katie then publicly hit out at Kelly's boyfriend (and her ex), Danny Cipriani, warning her that he'd never stay faithful. Turns out the Pricey was right, as sure enough the couple split soon after, when it was revealed he had been sending saucy messages to other women.
'Dancing On Ice' judges Karen and Jason created a piece of TV gold when their obvious hatred for each other reached boiling point during one live show. Hit play on the video to the left to view the spat in full.
These two are never afraid to tell people what they think, so it's little surprise they've had a showbiz spat. It all started when Cheryl misunderstood that Lily's song 'Cheryl Tweedy' was not intended as a compliment. She later infamously called her a 'chick with a dick' in 2007. Lily later got her own back by tweeting about Chezza's 2003 conviction for assault.
Things have turned sour between former pals Lady Gaga and Perez Hilton - the 'Applause' singer recently claimed the celebrity blogger mocked her after she had her hip accident sending by her a picture of herself in a wheelchair with the word 'karma' written on it, along with a image of Madonna pointing a gun at her. Gaga later tweeted that Perez was stalking her when he turned up at her apartment building. He claimed is was merely a coincidence during a househunting trip, and added that it was "too painful for him to go into detail about why he chose to no longer make her a part of his life."
Remember when Katie Price and Peter Andre were happy? We know it's hard to imagine now, giving the mauling they have given each other in the press since their nasty split in 2009. There have been claims of (strongly denied) affairs, court cases and constant digs during TV appearances. Although Katie did congratulate Pete on his girlfriend's pregnancy in 2013.
The former breakfast telly BFFs fell out when Denise joined Johnny's radio show, only to quit soon after. While Johnny claims there is 'no rift', Denise told us: It was a very strained relationship at the time, for whatever reason. No I'm not joking. It just wasn't the relationship we had previously on TV. He wouldn't let me speak, would tell me when I should and shouldn't speak, and would also constantly not mention that we were joint presenters."
The feud in question began in 2002, when Elt labelled Madonna's song for the 007 film, 'Die Another Day,' as 'the worst Bond tune ever'. As the spat escalated over the years, he publicly called her a 'c*nt' and a 'f***ing fairground stripper', before they finally made it up in 2013.
Cher Lloyd may have been 'right up Cheryl Cole's street' after the Girls Aloud star mentored her on 'The X Factor', but the mini-me didn't take too kindly to Cheryl losing touch after the show. Cher made a dig about her former pal, saying she would only do a duet with Cheryl if she didn't use autotune, prompting Cheryl to hit back on Twitter. "Be Careful who you kick on your way up .. They kick you twice as hard on your way back down.. #unappreciationisugly," she wrote. Ouch!
Disney starlets do not play nice. In 2008, teen queen Miley Cyrus went head to head with Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. BFFs Selena and Demi used to make goofy videos they would post to YouTube, much to the chagrin of Miley as it turned out. Miley and her BFF Mandy made a parody video where they mocked the other girls, making fun of their makeup and the gap in Demi's front teeth. The feud appeared to come out of nowhere. "To be honest I don't know what happened," Selena told MTV. "I though we were okay, but to be honest, I don't even know [Miley and Mandy]. And Demi has never met Miley. It's interesting -- that's all I'm going to say about it." They all eventually made up and became friends. Miley addressed the feud in a YouTube video in 2009: "So everyone's thinking there's a big feud between me and Selena and Demi. Actually, I'm going to have meatloaf with Demi tonight. I'm riding my bike to Demi's house. So I'm going to be partying with Demi 'cause we're friends, and I love her and she is always there for me. She is one of my bestest friends."
These ladies need to learn to keep their comments to themselves. Back in the day, Christina Aguilera apparently used to call Kelly Osbourne fat, and now that Kelly has slimmed down and Christina has gained a few pounds the tables have turned. Osbourne made sure to call attention to the singer's weight gain, not once, but twice in 2011. "Maybe she is just becoming the fat bitch she was born to be. I don't know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house," Osbourne said during an episode of "Fashion Police" that aired in August. "She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you! You're fat too." Then in October, the singer was again the topic of discussion on the show: "Lady Marmalade got into the peanut better again," quipped co-host Joan Rivers when criticizing Aguilera's too-tight outfit. "She called me fat for years, I was never that fat," Osbourne said and later added, "Trust me, I'm a 2/4. That is not a 2/4."
Thanks to their love of a magazine deal, Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid's war of words even began before the pair had actually split up. She claimed Alex had refused to stop dressing as female alter-ego Roxanne, and said he turned their house into a sex dungeon, while Aled later claimed that he had been stopped from seeing their daughter Dolly.
Madonna was not too pleased when Lady Gaga released 'Born This Way' in 2011, believing she'd copied her hit 'Express Yourself'. "Imitation is the highest form of flattery," she said, later adding: "I'm a really big fan. I'm glad that I helped write it." Gaga hit back while on-stage one night: "It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe make mockery of their work." Now Madge claims she "loves" Gaga and wants to duet with her - something with the Lady has since turned down.
Is there anyone Eminem hasn't feuded with? Eminem and Mariah Carey began to spar after he claimed that they used to have a sexual relationship. Mariah denied the relationship, telling Larry King, "I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times. And I don't consider that dating somebody." Mariah later mocked his claim in her video for "Obsessed," which featured an Eminem look-alike who was obsessed with her. The rapper retaliated with a number of songs that mentioned Carey and threatened to release nude photos of the singer as well as voicemails to prove they dated. In the song "The Warning" he raps: "Shut the fuck up before I put up all the phone calls you made to my house when you were "Wild N' Out" before Nick, when you was on my dick and give you something to smile about."
"You know what you did," Lauren Conrad screamed at Heidi Montag on an episode of "The Hills." Lauren and Heidi's friendship began to dissolve in 2007, when Heidi started dating Spencer Pratt. "He's a sucky person," she infamously told her one-time best friend. Heidi chose a relationship with Spencer over a friendship with Lauren and spread a rumor there was a Lauren Conrad sex tape floating around. Heidi tried to repair things with Lauren, but she wasn't having it. "I want to forgive you and I want to forget you," Lauren told her as mascara ran down her face. The feud eventually ended but they never repaired their friendship. As Spencer began to fade into obscurity he tried make himself relevant by burying the hatchet with Conrad, wishing her a happy birthday on Twitter in February 2012.
Rihanna and Ciara - who both dated Chris Brown in the past - got into a heated public spat in February 2011. First Ciara made a dig at Rihanna on 'Fashion Police', saying: "I ran into her recently at a party. She wasn't the nicest. It's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done in fashion. It wasn't the most pleasant run-in." When Rihanna heard what Ciara had said, she fired back on Twitter. "My bad Ci, did I forget to tip you? How rude of me.... You gangsta huh? Ha." They volleyed insults and threats at each other and then Rihanna called a truce. "Ciara baby, I love you girl! You hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's why I retaliated this way! So sorry! Let's make up." Ciara accepted the apology and that was that.
In 2005, Tom Cruise seemed to have lost his marbles when he jumped on couches on Oprah's talkshow. He then lashed out at actress Brooke Shields, while on the 'Today' show, telling Matt Lauer that Shields should not have taken antidepressants to combat the postpartum depression she was suffering from after the birth of her first child. Cruise, a Scientologist who shuns psychiatry, insisted the depression could be treated with "vitamins and exercise." Shields responded by writing an op-ed piece in the New York Times, writing: "I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression ... And comments like those made by Tom Cruise are a disservice to mothers everywhere ... If any good can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease." Cruise later apologized to Shields, the actress told Jay Leno a year later. "He came over to my house and he gave me a heartfelt apology. And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened," she said.
The mother of all fights broke out between Chris Brown and Drake as the pair started a brawl in a New York nightclub, allegedly over Rihanna, who they'd both dated.
Take two Disney starlets and one prepubescent popstar and you have a recipe for one of the most discussed celebrity feuds of the 2000s. Back in 2002, Aaron Carter reportedly broke up with or cheated on Hilary Duff, who he was dating for two years, to hook up with Lindsay Lohan. The 15-year-old Casanova then left Lohan to get back together with Duff. Though the girls should have been furious with Carter, they instead turned on each other. Their feud played out in the pages of magazines with both actresses taking shots at each other for years. By 2007 the girls put their past behind them and made up. "We are both adults and whatever happened, happened when we were young," Duff told People. "It's over."
Gossip blogger Perez Hilton was confronted by the Black Eyed Peas at the Much Music Video Awards in 2009 and began hurling insults at Will.i.am and the rest of the band. Perez was punched in the face by Will.i.am's manager and the blogger later tweeted, "I was assaulted by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need a police report. No joke." Will.i.am later denied Hilton's claims and Hilton shot back with a 12-minute video blasting the Black Eyed Pea as a "disgusting human being" and "a fucking liar." Perez later sued Will.i.am's manager and a settlement was reached.

Axle Options - Currie EnterprisesWritten by on November 1, 2007 Cut-To-Fit Axles From Currie Enterprises
There are not an awful lot of what we'd consider "standard" parts used in the mix when it comes to building a street rod. Sure, all those small-block Chevys and trannies are pretty much the same, but try and swap a rearend out of any old passenger car into a street rod and whether it fits perfectly or not is gonna be a crapshoot, at best. It's for this reason that Currie Enterprises, and in the last few years its 9-Plus division, has served the hobby well by providing a vast array of rearend housings, assemblies, and components in nearly endless configurations.
The 9-Plus division has become a favorite source for rodders looking to purchase custom-width rearend housings for special applications. They'll not only build to suit but also sell the centersections, axle tubes, flanges, axles, and third members as individual components so we can then assemble a rearend ourselves to our own specs. It's a great concept, and one that is taken advantage of more and more often these days. But, there was still one slight fly in the ointment, so to speak. Once any of us got all our parts and sewed together the perfect rearend housing for our particular vehicles, we still had to order the appropriate axles to fit those housings-which took another couple of weeks, at best. Well, recently the good folks at Currie/9-Plus have solved that problem by developing a new axle called the CTF. CTF stands for cut-to-fit and it's the final piece to the perfect rearend puzzle.
As the name implies, this new 31-spline forged axle was designed so the end user has the ability to adjust its length so it will be useable in a myriad of applications-so you'll now be able to order your axles at the same time you order your rearend housing components in nearly all but the most extreme situations. This way you build the rearend, install the third member, and trim the axles to fit; there's no more waiting for special-order axles to fit the housing you just assembled.

Currie Enterprises has been fabricating, assembling, and supplying rearends for the automotive and specialty markets since 1959.As rodders become more hands-on, rearend kits have become much more popular, especially now that individual components are readily available.The cut-to-fit (CTF) axle kit's main component is constructed of high-performance induction, heat-treated, forged alloy steel and is ABCS (aftermarket brake configuration standard) compatible.Each axle kit comes with a component package that contains a heavy-duty axle retainer plate, axle bearing, oil seal, and a selection of wheel studs.The CTF axles are pre-drilled for both 5-on-4-1/2-inch Ford and 5-on-4-3/4-inch Chevy wheel patterns so you can use your existing wheels.All CTF axles use standardized shank Currie Enterprises wheel studs in 12mm, 7/16-, 1/2-, and 1/2x3-inch competition sizes.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan is halting the use of the "Pure Michigan" logo in ads touting the state's new right-to-work law.
A Michigan Economic Development Corp. official told lawmakers Thursday that the agency is re-evaluating the use of the award-winning tourism logo in economic development ads.
The state has been using the brand to market economic development for more than a year. But the decision to refer to the right-to-work law and Pure Michigan in a January ad in the Wall Street Journal struck a nerve with Democrats and others.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has denied knowledge of the ad before it ran and has said he wouldn't have emphasized right-to-work as much.

|Pregnancy smoking cessation program now in Northeast Colo.
|Written by Deanna Herbert
Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP) Foundation has expanded its program to help pregnant women quit smoking, and the Northeast Colorado Health Department has joined in the effort.
"We were awarded nearly a half million dollars from The Colorado Health Foundation to take a proven program statewide over three years," says Lisa Fenton Free, executive director, Rocky Mountain Health Plans Foundation. "We have had much success in the first year getting women to stop smoking during their pregnancy and after delivery."
As the second year of the program is implemented in 2009, 22 additional counties will be participating including Morgan, Logan, Phillips and Sedgwick. Washington and Yuma counties started this program on year one.
Pregnant smokers can be referred to the program by their local physician, clinic, health department, WIC clinic or by self referral. The program requires that women complete four counseling sessions and quit smoking, which is confirmed by a carbon monoxide (CO) monitor test at their local participating facility. After giving birth, they return monthly for CO monitoring and counseling.
"Every month that the mother remains tobacco-free, she receives a $25 voucher for diapers," says Janice Ferguson, program coordinator. "The baby of a nonsmoking mother gets a better start in life and the whole family benefits from having a smoke-free environment."
"Smoking during pregnancy is the single most preventable cause of death and illness in infants," says Fenton Free. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports smoking during pregnancy increases the risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and low birth weight. In the year 2000, a review of 20 studies, published in a leading obstetric journal, found pregnant women who smoke are approximately 27 percent more likely to deliver prematurely than those who don't smoke.
"Low birth weight newborns more often require extended stays in neonatal intensive care units," Fenton Free says, "and health problems don't end when the baby goes home. Low birth weight is associated with long-term disabilities—cerebral palsy, autism, mental retardation, vision and hearing impairments and developmental disabilities," she says.
"Low birth weight and related complications take a heavy emotional and financial toll," Ferguson says. "Getting women to stop smoking both during and after their pregnancy is one of the most effective steps we can take."
Living in a smoke-free home lessens an infant's exposure to second hand smoke. Babies who breathe secondhand smoke have more colds, ear infections and asthma attacks.
The program is already operating in Alamosa, Baca, Chaffee, Delta, Fremont, Grand, Jackson, Las Animas, Mesa, Moffat, Montrose, Ouray, Prowers, Rio Blanco, Rio Grande, Routt, Summit and Weld counties, with implementation in most of the remaining Colorado counties by 2010.
The grant, secured by Rocky Mountain Health Plans Foundation from The Colorado Health Foundation, funds training and compensation to county program coordinators, the purchase of CO monitors, client handouts, marketing materials and diaper vouchers.
To find out more about this program in Northeastern Colorado contact Sherree Bustos, STEPP Coordinator, Northeastern Colorado Health Department, 228 W. Railroad Avenue, Fort Morgan, Colorado 80701 or call 970-867-4918 ext. 233.

AAR reports rail traffic is up for week ending July 2
July 08, 2011
Rail traffic was up for the week ending July 2, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume—285,943—was up 0.3 percent year-over-year and ahead of the week ending June 25 at 284,562 and behind the week ending June 17 at 294,310. It was also behind the week ending April 2, which hit 305,905 carloads, marking the highest weekly carload tally since the end of 2008.
Carload volume was up 5.7 percent in the East and down 3.1 percent out West. Carloads on a year-to-date basis are at 7,539,227 for a 2.7 percent annual increase.
Intermodal volumes remains in the same range as recent weeks at 236,988 trailers and containers for a 2.5 percent annual hike. The two highest weeks of the year were the weeks ending June 17 and June 10 reaching 237,682 and 237,422, respectively, intermodal checked in at 234,775 for the week ending June 25.
Intermodal volumes on a year-to-date basis at 5,856,133 are up 7.8 percent compared to 2010.
Intermodal continues to make strides on the domestic side due to fuel price pressure and its ability to provide service comparable to truckload at a more favorable rate, say shippers and analysts.
Of the 20 commodity groups tracked by the AAR, 15 were up annually. Farm products, excluding grain, were up 22.3 percent, and lumber and wood products were up 14.3 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week were 31.6 billion for a 1.0 percent annual increase, and on a year-to-date basis, the 842.3 billion ton-miles recorded were up 3.8 percent.

Dwayne Bowe.
I don't know a whole lot about Melton. But he did play on a D that had Peppers, Urlacher, Briggs, Jennings, and Tillman. It could very well be a case of him looking better next to those guys.
Seymour is old and injury prone. If you could take any FA, it would really be this guy? Might as well get a younger talent.
Byrd would be my second choice.
Goldson my third
Goldson didn't really thrive until JH came along. He, along with the rest of the secondary, didn't look too great once Justin Smith got hurt. I still think goldson is a good player. But I think the system makes him look slightly better than what he actually is.
I think you can Byrd and Bowe would be a toss up. I picked Bowe because he put up some good numbers with a bad supporting cast. One would have to assume his numbers would improve playing here.
BB has also had zero success drafting WRs, so it would be nice to get this problem out of the way.

Minnesota Sherrif's Officer Charged with DUI, Tries to Steal Officer's Gun
Lawrence John Doheny, a sheriff's department officer in Anoka County, Minnesota, has been charged with DUI and with attempting to grab a police officer's gun after he was stopped on the highway.
While he was awaiting a blood-alcohol test, police had to Taser Doheny three times to get him to submit, according to Fox 9 in the Twin Cities.
Police saw Doheny's car make a wide U-turn at a traffic light, then speed and cross over the center line before they stopped him on the highway. When the officer pulled Doheny over, he noticed that there was a smell of alcohol coming from the vehicle, and he saw signs that the driver was drunk.
Doheny said at that point that he had drunk a "couple of beers."
Doheny got out of his vehicle willingly, but allegedly stumbled as he did so. He did not, however, agree to take an alcohol test, and he was placed under arrest, then transported to the Jordan Police Department and read the implied consent advisory.
Doheny then asked for a lawyer and to be allowed to make a telephone call. He then refused to take a urine or a blood test. He offered to take a DUI breath test, but Scott County, where he was being held, does not offer breath tests as an option in these situations.
Finally, Doheny agreed to take a blood test at the St. Francis Medical Center. "You guys nailed me," he reportedly said. Doheny was not handcuffed as police transported him into the hospital, but that is when things started to get dangerous.
At that point, Doheny allegedly tried to grab a police officer's handgun. He then threatened the officer by stating, "you really shouldn't test me." The police officer was able to secure his gun before Doheny shoved him in the chest, and took off on foot, ignoring the police's commands that he get down on the ground.
When Doheny kept running, the officer Tased him. Doheny kept at it, and ended up getting Tased three times as back-up arrived on the scene.
Finally he was handcuffed, put on a stretcher and taken to the emergency room, where staff reported that he was belligerent. They were able to get a reading on his blood-alcohol content.
Doheny, who has been with the sheriff's department in Anoka for 18 years, has been placed on administrative leave from his civil division post.
