Red Raiders Fall to No. 17 Cowboys, 24-17
Nov. 14, 2009
Final Stats | Notes | AP Photo Gallery | School Action Photo Gallery
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP)--Patrick Lavine scored on a 21-yard interception return, and No. 17 Oklahoma State came up with a final defensive stand to keep its slim hopes for a Big 12 championship alive with a 24-17 win against Texas Tech on Saturday night.
After allowing some rare pressure against quarterback Zac Robinson in the first half, the Cowboys (8-2, 5-1) relied on their Big 12-leading rushing attack to drain the clock in the second half. Oklahoma State piled up 207 yards on the ground after halftime and controlled the ball for 22 minutes.
Tech (6-4, 3-3) got one last chance after Robinson fumbled with 98 seconds left on a play that left both him and defender Jamar Wall shaken up.
Tramain Swindall dropped Taylor Potts' fourth-down pass to doom the final drive by the Red Raiders.
Keith Toston put Oklahoma State up 17-10 with his touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, one play after his fumble inside the 1 was overturned by instant replay and two plays after he plunged forward for a 2-yard gain to convert a fourth-and-1 at the 6.
Lavine followed that by stepping in front of Steven Sheffield's pass to tailback Baron Batch and racing up the OSU sideline for the score.
Potts, benched in favor of Sheffield in the first half, led the Red Raiders right back with a scoring drive that took only 67 seconds. He finished it off with a 24-yard TD pass to Edward Britton to bring Tech within 24-17.
Potts had one last chance after Robinson's fumble on a scary collision with Wall. Robinson sat up immediately, but then lay back down and stayed that way for a few minutes as a handful of teammates gathered around. He eventually walked to the bench with the help of team trainers.
Potts got Texas Tech to midfield with 58 seconds left but that's where the drive stalled. Swindall dropped a short pass on fourth-and-4 and OSU ran out the final 16 seconds.
The loss denied Mike Leach his 83rd win at Tech, which would have pushed him past Spike Dykes for the most in school history.
Sheffield had provided a spark for Tech after a slow start, leading his team downfield before throwing an interception to Perrish Cox at the Cowboys 2. Tech's defense forced a three-and-out, and Sheffield came right back to hit Alex Torres for a 12-yard scoring pass to cap a 32-yard drive and put the Red Raiders up 10-7.
He couldn't do much after that and finished with 117 yards on 16 for 23 passing with two interceptions. Potts was 19 for 35 for 190 yards with one touchdown and one pick--also by Cox.
Robinson had 99 yards rushing and 90 yards passing for OSU. Toston had 76 yards and Kendall Hunter 68 as the Cowboys finished with 243 yards on the ground.
Oklahoma State had its first scoring drive extended twice by penalties-- roughing the passer on third-and-14 and pass interference on fourth-and-4-- before Robinson connected on a 19-yard touchdown pass to Hubert Anyiam.

America's Next Top Model 9
Ousted 'Top Model' Jenah Doucette: "I'm a very good role model"
By Christopher Rocchio, 12/19/2007
Jenah Doucette was apparently more upset that her character as a role model for young girls was questioned by her fellow finalists than she was about being
America's Next Top Model
third-place finisher
"In the right context, I'm a very good role model," Doucette told reporters during a Thursday conference call. "I've been taking care of kids my whole life, whether it's taking care of my sisters or babysitting. I know what's appropriate for what time. But while I was on the show I was hanging out with a bunch of adults that should be able to take jokes."
The 18-year-old student from Farmington, CT was defeated during last Wednesday night's finale broadcast by winner Saleisha Stowers and runner-up Chantal Jones, both of whom made
disparaging comments
about Doucette during the penultimate judging panel that saw her elimination.

"Hearing those things really bothered me. I thought this was a modeling competition, and I felt like those comments were sort of attacking personality as opposed to my modeling," explained Doucette. "I don't think that I'm a disrespectful person. I think my sarcasm can be confused with disrespect. I can't really help it if people get mad at me because I'm being sarcastic. That's how my attitude is."
Doucette's sarcastic personality landed her in hot water most often with
Top Model
judge Nigel Barker. During the
Week 9 photo shoot
, Barker approached the girls and told them not to feel added pressure since he's a judge as well as the shoot's photographer. Doucette incorrectly decided it was a good time to bust Barker's chops, telling him she felt "like fainting" because he was standing right in-front of her.
"I think that it might have hurt Nigel a little bit that I kind of insulted him. I don't know," said Doucette. "I feel like if you're going to be having an ego-trip, I'm going to call you out on it. I don't think Nigel's a terrible person or anything, but I make jokes, and I'm a very honest person... Perhaps it was an inappropriate time, but what I said was just a joke. I think he really took that to heart and I really hurt his feelings. That's okay. I can deal with that."
Prior to being booted from the competition, Doucette had an emotional breakdown -- complete with tears -- and
Top Model
lead judge and creator Tyra Banks was glad Doucette finally dropped her guard. While Doucette said it felt like a "breakthrough" at the time, she's apparently not so sure in hindsight.
"I don't feel like it was particularly groundbreaking for me in the grand scheme of things -- like my whole life," she told reporters. "I think on the show, I opened up a little bit more about some things. I didn't really want to go there and share my life story with the whole world. So I didn't really talk about my personal life a lot. So talking about that on camera... that was really hard for me... It was a tough moment for me and I was really opening up, which is something I don't do a lot."
The Top Model judges also constantly seemed to be prodding Doucette
to find herself
, which was partially a lost cause.
"I think it was less about finding myself as a person, because I think I'll always be looking for that person, I'll always be searching inside myself for what's really there," she explained. "But I think it was more finding my place in this competition... I really wanted to know who I was as far as in the competition. This character that I was going to become. I didn't really know who that person was... I don't really know what I was looking for, but I definitely found out a lot of stuff about myself."
Doucette said she does in fact have a personality and suspects it just wasn't the right fit for
Top Model
"I'm just really down-to-earth, and I think that can be confused with not having personality. Especially when you're on TV and people are expecting entertainment and there's just one aspect that really stands out," she said. "For me, I'm just a laid back person. You're not going to get much out of as far as acting out or drama or throwing fits!"
All things considered, Doucette was pleased with how she was portrayed.
"You have bad things and you say things that maybe you shouldn't of said," she said. "In real life -- not on TV -- that's okay. Everyone knows you're in a crazy mood. Sometimes out of context things that are said seem a lot worse than they are. But I think mostly I was portrayed accurately."
While most
Top Model
participants gush about how appearing on the show was a life-long goal, Doucette unenthusiastically spoke about how she
landed on the show's ninth cycle
"Modeling is always something I've been a little bit interested in," said Doucette, adding she was also encouraged by a friend to audition. "So I went and I stood in line for a while and my number kept getting called surprisingly. I ended up on the show."
It was immediately difficult for Doucette
once filming started
Top Model 9
participants weren't allowed to smoke cigarettes. She described it as being "really, really hard at first," causing her to be "cranky" and go through "manic stages."
"But after a while it went away and I felt a little better," she said. "I have started smoking since I've been home, but not nearly as much as I used to. I'm down to one cigarette a day, which feels pretty good. I'm trying to kick the habit completely again."
Doucette quickly established herself in the competition as the girl who took the "strongest pictures," a compliment given to her by Banks on more than once occasion.
"It blew me away that she said that I had the strongest pictures," she recalled. "That was a wonderful thing to hear."
Doucette said has no regrets about her
Top Model
journey and is happy she placed where she did.
"I think that considering the reasons that I didn't make it to the top, I don't think that I would change any decision that I made. I stayed true to myself, and I'm not going to change who I am to win. I couldn't do that and I'm glad I didn't," she explained. "Saleisha did
have the type of personality
America's Next Top Model
winners have -- very bubbly, very girly and sweet. I think if that's what they're looking for, that's what they're looking for. I can't help that."
As for what's next, Doucette said she plans to move to New York City in the spring and is interested in everything from acting to working with human rights causes.
"I'm definitely going to continue modeling," she said. "I want to see what's available for me -- what's out there -- but I want to expand beyond that too. There's a lot of things I want to do -- modeling is definitely one of them -- but I want to do everything, then see what I like. Whatever gets thrown my way, I'm going to hit that up."

Crab Bisque with Avocado, Tomato & Corn Relish
Our light version of classic crab bisque gets its creaminess from a combination of low-fat milk plus pureed vegetables and potatoes. The tangy, chunky relish provides a textural and flavor contrast to the smoky, rich-tasting bisque. Serve with crusty whole-grain rolls and some extra wedges of lime for squeezing.Yield: Makes 8 servings, about 1 cup soup & 1/4 cup relish each
Active Time: 35
Total Time: 50
- 1 small avocado, finely diced
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 large ear; see Tips) or frozen, thawed
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and finely diced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 large ear; see Tips) or frozen, thawed
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper
- 1 1/2 cups diced peeled russet potato
- 3/4 teaspoon sweet or hot smoked paprika (see Notes), plus more for garnish
- 1 cup dry sherry (see Notes)
- 2 cups seafood stock or broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 12 ounces crabmeat (see Tips), drained if necessary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- To prepare relish: Combine avocado, corn, tomato, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature while you prepare the bisque.
- To prepare bisque: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add corn, onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until the onion and pepper have softened, about 5 minutes. Add potato and paprika and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add sherry and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Add stock (or broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.
- Working in two batches, puree the vegetable mixture in a blender or food processor. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Return the puree to the saucepan; stir in milk, crab and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve each portion of bisque with about 1/4 cup relish; sprinkle with additional paprika, if desired.
Tips & Notes
- Ingredient Notes: Smoked paprika is made from ground smoke-dried red peppers. It's available in some large supermarkets with other spices and at tienda.com.
- Sherry is a type of fortified wine originally from southern Spain. Don't use the "cooking sherry" sold in many supermarkets—it can be surprisingly high in sodium. Instead, get dry sherry that's sold with other fortified wines at your wine or liquor store.
- Tips: To remove corn kernels from the cob, stand an ear of corn on one end and slice the kernels off with a sharp knife.
- Crabmeat (already removed from the shell) can be purchased canned, in shelf-stable pouches, frozen or pasteurized. Pasteurized usually has the best flavor; look for it in the fresh seafood section of the market. Crabs from both the U.S. and Canada are considered good choices for the environment.

I skipped build 7 and now with build 8 I noticed that joining some IRC channels is really slow. Before Trillan joined to 10 IRC channels in less than 10 seconds. Now it needs ~60 seconds and during this trillian.exe is causing 100% load on one cpu core. Could this be caused by too big log files? In \appdata\roaming\trillian my logs folder is 1,5GB of old IRC logs. ^^
Mike Says:
November 19th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
5.3 removed the ability to set sounds and flashing (and lots of other options) for chats on a per-chat basis. Any chance that can be added back in?
Trillian in-game is still stripping colors from some FMVs. Weird, right?
Hakan Says:
November 19th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Another possible cause for the slow IRC chatroom joining: I takes quite long on channels with lots of other people in them. In #ubuntu and #debian on freenode there are 1300-1700 users at the same time and maybe displaying the members list takes so much time. The responsible algorithm doesn't seem to be in O(n) or even O(log n).

I have desperately been waiting for this release, the last beta (184.108.40.206) was the most unstable version of trillian I have ever used. Crashing at least once every 3 hours.
Many crashes were fixed, hopefully no more crashing will take place.
I love the improvements to the ingame overlay, and will be testing it out shortly.

Zerosan Says:
November 20th, 2012 at 3:49 am
The first thing this release did for me was crash after installation,
now it seems to run fine, but there is one thing that really bugs me,
it's your new subtle color based approach to the current status symbols.
I'm slightly color blind and it makes it hard for me to make out what status the contacts currently have,
there is almost no difference between extended away and online to me!
Could you invest a few minutes in research about color blindness and how to make your color scheme more color blind friendly?
Actual symbols and not just round orbs of almost the same color were perfect for that.
Don't make the mistake of getting rid of every last bit of color and symbols that stand out too much,
you need to use those colors and those symbols to make it easy for us to quickly and effortlessly make out
the structure of your product, and what is important and what is not.
Sure a graphic can look nice when it all follows the exact same color with just shades of it being used,
but it rarely ends in that graphic being really usable, right now your application is mostly losing character to me.

I'm sure you already know this from other people's comments, but 184.108.40.206 is extremely unstable in Windows 8. I actually installed it in an attempt to get Skype working, which is very important to my communications. But I've found the program either crashes the second it is started, or crashes within a few minutes after starting. On some attempts it has stayed on for a few minutes, but always crashes sooner or later. This release is unusable for me, unfortunately, and I am now forced to go back to 5.2 which didn't work for Skype. I hope you can resolve these issues soon for us Windows 8 users…

I downloaded the correct build from http://cerulean.cachenetworks.com/trillian-v22.214.171.124.exe and it still crashes on both my home and work computers. My home computer crashed over night (an improvement), but the work laptop (with integrated graphics) crashes every few seconds still.
Anonymouse Says:
November 27th, 2012 at 8:30 am
@Michael: Set compatibility for SkypeKit.exe. It will fix your problem with 5.2.
David Says:
November 27th, 2012 at 5:48 pm
Build 7 crashed for me about twice a day; build 8 crashes about once a day. Moving in the right direction. I'm looking forward to an even stabler build 9. I would go back to 5.2, but the new auto-join and contact list features for group chats are invaluable to me — it's worth the occasional crash to have those.
I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and the services I use are Yahoo! and my company's private Jabber server, if that helps narrow down what might be causing the instability.
Thommy Says:

Track List
Album Notes
Personnel: Bill Miller (piano).
Audio Mixer: Larry Walsh.
Liner Note Author: Frank Sinatra, Jr.
Recording information: Seattle, WA (06/09/1957).
Photographers: Ted Allan; Ken Whitmore; David Sutton .
Arranger: Nelson Riddle.
Finally, a disc that combines Sinatra's hits for Capitol and his hits for Reprise! Of course, since Capitol is the label releasing Sinatra: Best of the Best, the collection leans heavily on his Capitol sides, but the addition of such `60s staples as "It Was a Very Good Year," "Strangers in the Night," "Summer Wind," "That's Life," "My Way," and "Theme from New York, New York" to "I've Got You Under My Skin," "The Lady Is a Tramp," "Come Fly with Me," "The Way You Look Tonight," and "Fly Me to the Moon" makes this 23-track collection a superb sampling of Frank songs everybody knows by heart. Initial pressings in the fall of 2011 included the then out of print '57 - In Concert, a heavily circulated (and quite good) concert performed with Quincy Jones' band in Seattle during 1957. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Tastefully Simple products. Sold by independent consultants such as Kourtney Aller, the young mother in my church who introduced me to their awesomeness, these direct-sale foods were developed by Jill Blashack Strahan and have a reputation for exceptional flavor. I considered joining their sales force, but I really have no interest in selling; I just want to buy and enjoy their products. Their Pomegranate Chipotle Sauce is my preferred condiment, and I use it on everything, from nachos (yes, really!) to sandwiches.
These popcorn mixes are a result of recipes from Tastefully Simple's website and my favorite go-to recipe spot, Allrecipes.com. The beauty of snack mix recipes is that you can be creative and incorporate items from your pantry. The Zesty Popcorn Mix is just that - it is spicy and crunchy and very addictive. The caramel corn recipe is my favorite, crispy and buttery, and I always add molasses which gives the caramel glaze a dark allure. Twisty Grahams, pretzel-shaped graham crackers, added a toffee-like crunch, and the addition of Goldfish and toasted, salted pecans was a nice contrast to the sweetness.
Zesty Popcorn Mix
adapted from Tastefully Simple Recipes
1-2 tablespoons Tastefully Simple Fiesta Party Dip Mix or spicy seasoning salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tablespoon Pomegranate Chipotle Sauce or a sweet, smoky barbecue sauce
12 oz box baked cheese crackers such as Cheez-Its
5 cups popped popcorn
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix crackers and popcorn on a large baking pan. Combine first 3 ingredients and slowly pour over mixture in pan; toss gently. Bake at 300° for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool and place in storage container or plastic Ziplocs.
Caramel Corn Snack Mix
adapted from Allrecipes.com
1 cup salted butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 cups molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup Twisty Grahams or bite-sized graham crackers
1 cup toasted salted pecans
1 cup Goldfish or bite-sized cheese crackers such as Cheez-Its
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place popcorn, pecans, graham crackers, and Goldfish in a very large bowl or 2 large shallow baking pans. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter; stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in thin stream over popcorn mixture, stirring to coat. Place in two large shallow baking dishes and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for about an hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces. Place in storage container or plastic Ziplocs.

10,000 B.C. Movie Reviews
Release Date: Mar 07, 2008
Genre: Action/AdventureDrama
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on 10,000 B.C.
very very good like it very much you will like it alot i am sure its a movie for you hope you enjoy it OpineAway.com \r\n\r\n\r\n
10,000 B.C. what a great movie. They chose the right scenery and location for this movie. The makeup artist and the costume desighner. I give 10,000 B>C. 5 stars.
Well, first, I didn't realize we spoke perfect english back in those days. I guess Hollywood wanted to make money and not just a good realistic movie. I left the theater thinking... "That was it? At least it wasn't the worse movie I have seen..." Sorry, to many to list but Dr. Seus's Cat in the Hat comes to mind!!
10,000 B.C. was so cool. They put the right animals in the movie. The costumes and the makeup look so realistic. I give 10,000 B.C. five stars.
10,000 B.C I liked the locations in the movie. The make up was good and the costumes it made it look like the close of there time.
Sat on the edge of my seat, wondering which mythical prehistoric creature would zip in and out of the screen (their presence was too brief). Not historically accurate, but full of suspense and drama - which is what you\'d expect. Not my favorite movie, but appealing for those interested in this genre. Too many unanswered questions for the plot to be believable.
It\\\'s intertaining, who cares if it\\\'s not historically accurate. It\\\'s just a movie. I didn\\\'t recognize the majority of the cast, but that\\\'s okay too. Story was alright, beautiful settings, good action and special effects. That equals a movie worth seeing to me. Then again, what do i know.
this wasn\'t the greatest of the movies i have seen this year. it is basicly the same plot as almost any movie that involves love.
This movie was complete fun. The plot wasn\'t very deep but it hit the spot nicely. It starts in some unknown snowy mountain range(Pyrenees? ) and ends in Egypt. It looked like it was based on the discovery and recent theories of a relatively modern and cosmopolitan Egyptian civilization that predated the better known dynasties by 7000 yrs. It also takes from the interesting theories surrounding the astronomically inspired ancient architecture found around the world. All of the structures appear to have been designed from the same 10,000 BC star map; suggesting a single source since the structures were built across the ages. The villain was supposed to be from one of the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis. Unfortunately all this interesting premise cannot be explained in the context of the story and most people don\'t watch enough discovery channel to recognize it. As with many Emmerich films, he sacrifices some accuracy for expediency. The animals he represented weren\'t all indigenous to that place and/or time. But the viewers probably wouldn\'t have been as thrilled with unfamiliar prehistoric creatures. Although Phorusrhacus\'( killer birds) were pretty thrilling they were an North and South American animal. Oh well. Regardless of the artistic license with the scientific record, this movie was really about the unconquerable human spirit and the brilliance of courage, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. In this the movie does a great job. The simple good vs. evil plots are my favorites. Whatever nuanced justifications other stories try to use to mitigate the evilness of the antagonists, some acts are just too terrible to forgive. The good guys are good because they are opposing that evil act at that moment. We cheer the cause not the men. I\'ll leave the nuance for the daily papers and just enjoy thrilling adventure in the movies and take them for what they are. I liked this movie.
This wasn\'t a great movie, but it was ok. In fact it was better than most that are playing right now, and I\'ve seen them all. It had some interesting dialogue and scenery.

Russian and Ukrainian communities in South Florida react to plane being shot down over Ukraine
Is this incident related to ongoing violence?
BOCA RATON, Fla. - Ukrainians and Russians in south Florida are reacting to Malaysian Flight MH17 being shot down.
People from the Russian community living in Boca Raton worry this may be a sign of how bad things in the region have become.
Russian and International Market in West Boca Raton is like a little piece of Russia thousands of miles away. For the people eating and shopping here, Thursday's tragedy hits close to home. They say the hardest part is the helpless feeling that there's nothing they can do from here to help.
Ukrainians like Vladimir Dzyadyk have more questions than answers about the passenger plane being shot down over eastern Ukraine. "Why has this happened?" he asks. "'We will see. I don't have any answers for today."
Dzyadyk was eating lunch when he learned the plane carrying 295 people was shot down over his home country. He assumes violence between Ukraine and pro-Russia rebels in the area led to the tragedy. But both groups deny any involvement.
"This is very sad. This is kneel down and pray and cry because a lot of people died for nothing," Dzyadyk said.
Business at the Russian market came to a short stop when news of the unexpected tragedy spread. While the search is on to find who is responsible, people at the market are still taking in the full impact of the incident.
"Any death of human beings is terrible," explained Liuba, a Russian citizen who didn't want to share her last name. "It doesn't matter their religion or nation so I feel extremely sorry for those people and their families."
Now, Liuba and Dzyadyk wonder what the future has for their countries. "I think everybody, Russian and Ukrainian, need to pray and ask God to stop this because it is very serious," the Ukrainian said.

Hearing and personal listening devices
Gail Padish Clarin, doctor of Audiology, Rehabilitation Services manager, Cardon Children's Medical Center
Question: With the increased popularity of personal listening devices, what effect does this have on our hearing?
Answer: Nearly 10 million Americans have hearing loss as a result of excess noise exposure. Numbers are expected to increase with the increasing popularity of personal listening devices, such as personal stereo systems, cell phones, and laptop computers. If used improperly, these systems can cause permanent hearing loss and ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Other non-auditory problems, including increased blood pressure, ulcers, sleep disturbance, distraction, and learning problems can also result from noise exposure.
In a recent investigation, the American Speech Language Hearing Association sampled nine popular technology devices currently on the market. All are capable of producing sound above the maximum safety level if 85 decibels. Many of these devices are marketed to younger children. Even minimal hearing loss in children can result in educational and social developmental delays.
A February 2006 poll found teenage boys are more likely than teenage girls to use products surveyed in ways that may cause hearing loss later in life. More than half teens surveyed stated they are not likely to cut down on time used with technology.
Question: What can consumers do to help?
- Reduce the volume to a comfortable listening level. If the noise is causing pain, it can be damaging.
- Take frequent breaks from listening and limit overall listening time
- Use headphones or customized molds that isolate the wanted music from background noise
Question: How does sound affect the inner ear?
Answer: Sound waves are gathered in the outer ear and directed through the ear canal. They vibrate the eardrum, sending vibrations through the middle ear bones to the inner ear. Inside the inner ear, the cochlea, a spiral structure containing fluid and highly sensitive hair cells, respond to pitch and loudness of sound. Outer and inner hair cells are connected to nerve fibers that translate sound as electrical signals to the brain.

The fans of "Teen Mom 2" will be in shock and disbelief on Wednesday night when something that people said wouldn't happen does. According to Hollywood Gossip on Wednesday, there is a reunion with Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith. The adorable reunion of the two, who were apart for 30 days, will melt the hearts of the viewers and remind everyone that this isn't just a reality show, but a show about living life the best way possible.
Nathan ended up in jail before the birth of their child and it has been a story line on the show. He went to jail as required as it stemmed from a situation in September 2013. Nathan was arrested for a DUI, speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road, resisting arrest and driving with a suspended license. This might have been a blessing in disguise as the reality star looked like he was serious in putting life back together in the sneak peek of "Teen Moms 2."
Jenelle Evans definitely has had her share of controversy. First there were issues on how the star treated her pets and now people are questioning her parenting skills. The Stir is reporting that people are extremely upset she is using the Bumbo baby seat. A very controversial piece of equipment, the star has been repeatedly attacked on Twitter for using it with her youngest child.
Expect to need a box of tissues for the upcoming episode as it takes an emotional turn when Nathan asks Jenelle about how her pregnancy is going with genuine concern. Apparently someone has been watching movies as their relationship is compared the relationship of Noah and Allie's in "The Notebook."
While the drama of "Teen Mom 2" has fans watching how life works when a child is involved, this week people get the chance to see a blossoming romance once again start. It reminds us all that love knows no boundaries and jail bars are just a minor inconvenience in the big picture.

Congressman Bob Filner: Hypocrite
Bob Filner is a hypocrite. He calls out special interests as an issue in this campaign – including Bridgepoint Education – but his Congressional campaign committee has collected over $4 million in special interest contributions from political action committees, including Bridgepoint Education.
San Diegans deserve a mayor who is honest and consistent.
Bob Filner received contributions from Bridgepoint Education. (The Center For Responsive Politics Website, www.opensecrets.org, Accessed 4/25/12)

But not an enemy. You can call him a hypocrite, but not an enemy. You can attack him publicly and question his integrity…but don't actually use the term "enemy". Because you've seen the enemy, Nathan, and there are no enemies in local politics. Right?
Way to spot a hypocrite when you see one.
One thing though, Filner has been consistently a Democrat for over 20 years. Seems he is more consistent than others in the race.
Nathan's hypocrisy knows no bounds. It takes a lot to make Bob Filner look like the good guy in a spat, but Nathan has managed to accomplish that.
Hey, Bob's at the congressional pay scale. Mucho years serving his area. Tight with the Vets, as is Bilbray and Jr Duncan. Don't be so piciunish with this politicical hypocrisy terminology.
All you boys are POLITICIANS. Either wear the badge or bail. Again all of you are Politicians. Thank God I'm just a political groupie.
"I have decided not to attend today's mayoral debate because there is a no more fitting image of what is wrong with San Diego than Bridgepoint hosting a private mayoral forum. You need to look no further to see the power of special interests in dictating the actions of City Hall.
Read my full statement here: Filner Spurns Forum, Denounces Bridgepoint's Veterans Exploitation
San Diego, CA – Hours before the start of the Chamber of Commerce and Bridgepoint Education Mayoral Forum at the "Sunroad" Building, U.S. Congressman and Mayoral candidate Bob Filner issued a statement denouncing the predatory practices of Bridgepoint and their taxpayer-funded targeting of veterans and their G.I. Bill funds.
Below is Filner's statement regarding Bridgepoint and the undue power of special interests in City Hall:
"I have decided not to attend today's forum because there is a no more fitting image of what is wrong with San Diego then Bridgepoint Education hosting a private Mayoral Forum. You need to look no further to see the power of special interests in dictating the actions of City Hall."
"Bridgepoint Education, which is currently under investigation by the Department of Education, receives over 80% of its funding from public dollars, and explicitly targets veterans for their G.I. Bill benefits. The company spends more on recruitment than instruction at an almost 3-to-1 margin, and bears the distinction of a 63% dropout rate, well above the national average. As the past Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I find these actions deplorable and a blatant abuse of public dollars."
"My opponent, Nathan Fletcher, has publicly lauded Bridgepoint Education as a "success story," and the company has responded in kind by donating close to 40,000 dollars to his campaign, including maximum donations from every member of Bridgepoint's executive leadership. I find it hard to believe that as a veteran himself, Nathan can support an organization that is exploiting the benefits of our nation's brave men and women."
As Mayor, I will ensure that there are no more special interests, and that the focus of city government remains committed to protecting our veterans and the honest working men and women of San Diego.""
This is rich.
Stop the Presses. Nathan Fletcher has criticized a Democrat.
His prior 1,000 attacks were against DeMaio, Dumanis, Krvaric , the California Republican Party, etc.
Are you serious? Need I post a reminder?
"Bridgepoint had, by far, the highest number of employees giving to the same candidate, and none of its employees gave to anyone but Fletcher, according to the disclosure forms. Included on the list of Bridgepoint givers are Chief Executive Officer Andrew Clark, eight vice presidents and five others who list their title as "executive." The entire management team listed on Bridgepoint's website each gave the maximum amount to Fletcher. …"
I think it's foolhardy, to say the least, to point attention to Bridgepoint Education. MAJOR supporters of Nathan Fletcher. This only lends credibility to Filner.
This is EXACTLY the type of attack against Filner that needs to be happening…from the Party and other right-of-center third party sources.
Bridgepoint should save its money for major issues they are going to face on Capitol Hill. Sounds like Congress is going to continue to review possible abuses of military veterans and active soldiers by Bridgepoint and other for profit schools.
Any abuse of active military and/or Veterans is not acceptable.
Here's a little background if you're not aware of the issue.
D. Morton, these may or may not be the types of attacks that need to happen on Filner, but Fletcher is not the type of person that should be attacking Filner on it.
Michael A. Schwartz: Ideally, such an attack would not come from any candidate, but from third parties.
The SDGOP would be the ideal source of such an attack on the Dem candidate if it weren't institutionally obsessed with making and (indignantly) defending bad endorsements.
Bob Filner is laughing all the way to the polls. Nathan Fletcher is saying, "If I can't win I will drag down the rest with me. My way or the highway." Or is that the low way?

So youâve found the perfect entertainment for your big day. The eight piece band that you saw at a wedding last year really got the crowd into the music. After meeting with them you know they will perfectly recreate âThe Way You Look Tonight.â So now youâre done with entertainment right? Before you cross it off your list, make sure youâve considered these things.
- What will they be wearing? The crisp black jackets they wore to your friendâs wedding may have been rented for that day only.
- When will they take their breaks? Find out whether they are covering this time with other music.
- Have you set a room aside for them to take a break?
- What songs are they planning? Will there be any original music?
- Do they handle their sound staging and lighting or do you?
- What rules do you want to make sure they follow (Ex: No drinking, No soliciting guests etc.)?
Make sure to ask these questions beforehand so come your big day, you can sit back, relax and then dance the night away!

The Dark Side of Good Deeds?
A fascinating series of articles in the Los Angeles Times looks at the investments of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The articles say the foundation "reaps vast financial gains every year from investments that contravene its good works." (You can find the rest of the series in the "Related Stories" box on the article.)
For instance, while the Gates Foundation promotes better health care around the world, it also invests in "big polluters" such as ConocoPhillips, Dow Chemical Co. and Tyco International, and big pharmaceutical companies that the paper says "price drugs beyond the reach of AIDS patients the foundation is trying to treat."
All of which raises an interesting question: How responsible should foundations be for their investments? And should the investing that funds their good works be part of their good works as well?
The article quotes the Natural Capital Institute's Paul Hawken, an expert on socially beneficial investing, as saying that this is "the dirty secret" of many large philanthropies: "Foundations donate to groups trying to heal the future, but with their investments, they steal from the future."
Charity experts I've interviewed agreed that so-called mission-related investing is becoming a hot topic for today's philanthropists. Just as many everyday investors are looking for socially responsible investments, so are many of the new foundations that have sprung up in recent years. And foundations, ostensibly created to make the world a better place, should be especially concerned about the moral and social impacts of their investing.
The trouble is defining "socially responsible" and finding enough of these companies to invest in. If you don't earn a return on your investments, you won't have money to carry out your foundation's core philanthropic mission. Charity experts say there simply aren't enough investment choices today to choose from. If you're a giant foundation like the Gates Foundation, it's even harder to plow all your money into socially-responsible companies.
"Even the most advanced foundations are still only able to to deploy a minority of their investments in that direction," says Melissa Berman, president of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, the philanthropy-consulting firm. "This is really an emerging field."
Some foundations, however, are making good progress. The F.B. Heron Foundation in New York, for instance, says it puts its assets to work "to increase wealth-creation opportunities for low-income people and communities in the United States. We particularly seek opportunities that leverage our resources with those of other investors."

China's Illicit Flows Are 'Big Issue' for Money Laundering
Banks face a risk from money laundering in China because of large flows of illicit money, weak controls and the difficulties of screening names, said a new report from research and consulting firm Celent.
The report was commissioned by Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, which, like this blog, is owned by Dow Jones & Co., a News Corp. company.
Money laundering is "a big issue" in southern China, Celent said, because of the informal nature of capital flows there. "Money changers, institutions and individuals who act as remittance agencies enable money transfers between counterparties in China and Hong Kong, often in violation of foreign exchange regulations," it said.
With increased international exposure to the yuan as its use grows in commerce and finance, the report urged regulators and financial institutions, "to step up efforts to curb money laundering activities."
China's government has taken money laundering more seriously since 2006-2007, according to the report, with new regulations introduced, but fines on institutions for non-compliance have been "insignificant."
The relaxed regime in Hong Kong recently came under the spotlight in the case of Yan Suiling, a saleswoman, insurance agent and restaurateur in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. She was convicted of money laundering after depositing in a Hong Kong account a check from the proceeds of a mortgage fraud.
Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal, its highest court, freed her after 18 months of jail time after an appeal by her lawyers. The court found no crime had been committed by Ms. Yan in her use of an "underground" bank, which are legal in Hong Kong but not in mainland China.
Chinese banks have weak internal controls and corporate cultures for tackling money laundering, Celent said. "Most of them take a siloed approach towards [anti-money laundering], with rule-based transaction monitoring and elementary training for employees just to avoid regulatory pressure," the report said.
One of the major issues is screening transactions. A survey of 25 banks with Chinese operations included in the report revealed that 60% found technology issues were a challenge in using Chinese names in international payments and 56% found the same challenge with messaging systems. The survey was conducted in July and August.
"One major technological challenge is regarding the use of Chinese names and Chinese characters and transliterating them into the Latin alphabet for use in transaction monitoring purposes," Celent said. "Many Chinese characters have the same or similar pronunciation, making it difficult to identify which characters a transliterated name represents."
Also, a questionnaire sent with the survey showed banks find local Chinese blacklists of undesirable customers harder to use than the standard list of sanctioned individuals from the Office of Foreign Assets Control, part of the U.S. Treasury Department.
Most banks can screen the OFAC list using technology, but one questionnaire respondent said monitoring the Chinese lists requires "eyeball checking."
Some Chinese banks have started to improve their performance in this area, the report said, but most of their focus for money laundering risk is on "high value" transactions.

Opinion 8.09 - Laboratory Services
(1) A physician should not misrepresent or aid in the misrepresentation of laboratory services performed and supervised by a non-physician as the physician's professional services. Such situations could involve a laboratory owned by a physician who directs and manages its financial and business affairs with no professional medical services being provided; laboratory work being performed by technicians and directly supervised by a medical technologist with no participation by the physician; or the physician's name being used in connection with the laboratory so as to create the appearance that it is owned, operated, and supervised by a physician when this is not so.
(2) If a laboratory is owned, operated, and supervised by a non-physician in accordance with state law and performs tests exclusively for physicians who receive the results and make their own medical interpretations, the following considerations would apply:
The physician's ethical responsibility is to provide patients with high quality services. This includes services that the physician performs personally and those that are delegated to others. A physician should not utilize the services of any laboratory, irrespective of whether it is operated by a physician or non-physician, unless she or he has the utmost confidence in the quality of its services. A physician must always assume personal responsibility for the best interests of his or her patients. Medical judgment based upon inferior laboratory work is likewise inferior. Medical considerations, not cost, must be paramount when the physician chooses a laboratory. The physician who disregards quality as the primary criterion or who chooses a laboratory solely because it provides low-cost laboratory services on which the patient is charged a profit, is not acting in the best interests of the patient. However, if reliable, quality laboratory services are available at lower cost, the patient should have the benefit of the savings. As a professional, the physician is entitled to fair compensation for his or her services. A physician should not charge a markup, commission, or profit on the services rendered by others. A markup is an excessive charge that exploits patients if it is nothing more than a tacked on amount for a service already provided and accounted for by the laboratory. A physician may make an acquisition charge or processing charge. The patient should be notified of any such charge in advance. (I, II, III, IV, V)

Site CES03: GATR Tract, Mockhorn Island Wildlife Management Area
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries' Mockhorn Island Wildlife Management Area is an Atlantic coastal island of over 7,000 acres of prime tidal marsh. Access to the island's expansive cordgrass saltmarsh and loblolly pine, red cedar, and wax myrtle dominated hummocks is by boat only. The GATR tract, located on the mainland, is the only area of Mockhorn Island WMA accessible by car. The 356-acre GATR Tract consists of dense woodlands of pine, oak, and hackberry and some marsh habitat. Spring and fall bring a good selection of migrating wood warblers and shorebirds, and winter produces good numbers of waterfowl. Summer butterflies and dragonflies also add diversity to this site. The woodland trail requires viewing up into the canopy and access into the thicker stands is limited. During the summer though, the woods can be alive with the songs of breeding birds. Large numbers of wintering waterfowl, migrating shorebirds, and songbirds occur at this site, and migrating raptors can be seen along the coast. Wildlife viewing at this site is predictable and not particularly contingent on any one season, although summer is the least productive time of the year.
From the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center, exit and go 0.2 miles east, then turn left at the intersection with Rt. 600/Seaside Road. After 1.7 miles, turn east on Jones Cove Road/Rt. 730. The Wildlife Management Area turnoff is 0.7 miles ahead and is marked with a small sign.

Experiment, Solar Wind Composition, Apollo
This experiment was deployed on Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 to determine the chemical composition of solar wind. The moon provided an excellent location to study solar wind because, unlike the Earth, it has no magnetic field to deflect solar wind and no atmosphere to absorb it. The solar wind composition experiment consisted of an aluminum (or in the case of Apollo 16, aluminum and platinum) foil sheet erected on a pole. The charged particles comprising the solar wind would embed in the foil, which would be taken back to Earth for analysis.
It was donated to the Smithsonian by the experiment's Principle Investigator in 1974.

Right Stuff
In early 2009, we rated dozens of vegetables, giving each one a score based on how much potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, iron, calcium, fiber, and lutein and other carotenoids a typical serving contains.
As you'd expect, leafy greens like kale, spinach, collards, and Swiss chard rose to the top. Not far below came pumpkin, then sweet potato. Sweets were rated higher than carrots, higher than broccoli, higher than butternut squash.
That explains why a three-ounce serving of McCain Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries (12 to 15 fries) takes care of 100 percent of your vitamin A, 16 percent of your vitamin C, and 7 percent of your potassium for the entire day for just 120 calories and 180 milligrams of sodium.
But it doesn't explain how incredibly tasty they are. To see that, you'll need about 20 minutes and a 425˚ oven (ignore the deep-frying instructions).
McCain's sweets aren't the first ones to hit the market. We raved about Ian's Sweet Potato Fries back in 2002. Alexia Sweet Potato Fries are another fine pick.
Like the others, McCain's fries contain some added flour and other fillers and binders, so you're not getting 100 percent sweet potatoes.
But unlike the others, McCain is a mainstream brand. That means it's probably in your supermarket's freezer case, right next to the Crinkle Cut or Steak Cut Fries and other nutritional weakling white potatoes. Sweeeeeet.

"Excellent source of ALA Omega 3," declares the Land O'Lakes Margarine box. Who knew that Land O'Lakes stick margarine was so heart healthy?
It isn't.
Each tablespoon of the spread has 2½ grams of trans fat (and 2 grams of saturated fat). That's more than the 2 grams of trans that a panel of scientific experts considered recommending as an entire day's limit.
These days, most tub margarines have little or no trans. Ditto for some sticks. Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks have zero (though every tablespoon is loaded with 4½ grams of sat fat). Promise and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Cooking & Baking sticks also have no trans, according to their labels (but they probably contain just under ½ gram).
Blue Bonnet and Parkay sticks have 1½ grams of trans per tablespoon. Country Crock, Fleischmann's, and Imperial have 2 grams. But Land O'Lakes outdoes them both.
It's bad enough that the company sells one of the worst margarines. It has the chutzpah to pretend that its sticks are good for the heart. "Contains 496 mg of OMEGA 3 ALA per serving," notes the package.
First of all, the body converts less than 10 percent of ALA into DHA or EPA, the two omega-3 fats in fish that may lower the risk of heart disease. And, anyway, the ALA wouldn't outweigh the harm caused by the margarine's saturated and trans fat.
The label isn't false. It's just misleading. So calling the company Land O'Lies might be too strong. Perhaps.

Game Data: Tulane (12-14, 6-10 C-USA in 1998-99) opens the 1999-2000 campaign with the first of two exhibition games Nov. 7 against the Global Sports All-Stars. Last season, Tulane was 2-0 in exhibitions. Global Sports is a collection of former collegiate players. As of Saturday, the squad was 2-1 on its current tour, having defeated Old Dominion (76-68) and Alabama (87-85 2OT) after a loss to UNC Charlotte (90-80) on Tuesday.
Tulane Head Coach Perry Clark: Perry Clark is in his 11th year as the Green Wave head coach with a record of 165-134 (.552). Clark has guided Tulane to five 20-win seasons, six postseason appearances (3 NCAA, 3 NIT) and the Metro Conference championship in 1992. He was the 1992 National Coach of the Year and a two time Metro Conference Coach of the Year (1991, 1992). Clark's 16.5 average wins per season is the highest in school history. Only one other coach in school history has more wins or a longer tenure. He is assisted by Anthony Anderson, Greg Gary and Brock Kantrow.
What's Returning: Led by All-Louisiana selection Ledaryl Billingsley, eight lettermen return for the 1999-2000 season. Billingsley averaged 11.0 points and 6.8 points a year ago, including 14.1 points and 9.1 rebounds over the last half of the year. On the whole, 75.2 percent of the points, 78.1 percent of the rebounds and 81.9 percent of the assists return from last season, including four starters.
What's New: Three newcomers join the Green Wave roster, including forward Trello Galloway, a 6-foot-7 freshman from Myrtle Beach, S.C., averaged 14.0 points and 10.0 rebounds last year at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy. Brandon Spann, a 6-foot-1 freshman from New Orleans, averaged 21.9 points at Jesuit High School in earning all-state honors. A third player, Kerwin Jones, will join the club after the football season.
Scouting Report: Through two games on its current tour, the Global Sports All-Stars have a 2-1 record after defeating Alabama 87-85 in double overtime and are averaging 81.0 points per game. The All-Stars are shooting 41.4 percent from the floor (77-for-186) and are outrebounding the opposition by more than six rebounds per game.

* - Preseason Player of the Year
A New Home: In this, the 90th year of Tulane basketball, the Green Wave will christen a new home. Tulane will play six games in the state-of-the-art New Orleans Arena (17,832). When the Wave hosts Fordham in the season opener as part of the Preseason NIT on Nov. 17, it will mark a new era of Green Wave basketball. The New Orleans Arena is just the third home of Tulane basketball since 1933, joining Fogelman Arena and the Louisiana Superdome. Incidentally, Tulane has an all-time record of 478-237 (.669) in Fogelman Arena. That mark improves to 106-40 (.726) under Perry Clark.
Behind the Numbers: No single number was a greater predictor of Tulane success last season than 80. When the Green Wave scored at least 80 points, the team was a spotless 7-0. Tulane was 9-2 when outshooting the opposition, 7-3 when outrebounding them, and 7-2 when ahead at halftime.
Rebounding Well: In leading the Wave with a 6.8 rebounds per game average, junior Ledaryl Billingsley led the team in rebounding 17 times along the way. Included in the effort was a career-high 19 boards on Feb. 13, 1999, a figure that ranks as the third-highest total in C-USA history.
Up Next:
Tulane will next be in action on Thursday, Nov. 11, against Vasda. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Fogelman Arena. The regular season begins Nov. 17 against Fordham in the Preseason NIT.

She prefers to spend time with family. Sedgwick and her five siblings grew up in New York City. Her parents—Henry Dwight Sedgwick V, a venture capitalist, and Patricia Heller, a family therapist—divorced when she was six. She would be 12 before her mother married again, this time to art dealer Ben Heller. Sedgwick, her mother and all but one sibling still live in or near the city and see one another often. "We were each other's port in a storm, cling, cling," Sedgwick says. "I've had to learn to separate. But not too far."
It was clear to all on The Closerthat Sedgwick was, as creator Duff calls her, "a family person." Costar McDonnell, whose kids are close to Sedgwick's in age, particularly appreciated that focus. "My favorite memories of working with her are the really beautiful talks we had about family," she says, "and about our shared experience of being mother-slash-actresses. One or the other of us would have just spoken to our kids, and these conversations would rise up. She makes it easy to feel relaxed and intimate. I really treasured that."
If not relaxed at this new stage of life, Sedgwick is certainly rolling with the changes. "I can tell you, it's really nice not to look in the mirror all day in the makeup trailer," she says. "But I'm also at the phase of my life where I can go, Oh look, there's wrinkles and jowls." I tell her she does not have jowls. "The lighting in here is good—that's why I picked this place," she responds, grinning. "Really, I'm changing. Veins, thin skin. I just say, 'Oh, my hands are older,' and go [mimes kissing them sweetly]. I know so much more now. I really struggled with eating and exercise for a long time. I did a lot of overexercising, not eating enough. Not nurturing myself.Striving for some unattainable thing. Now I look back at pictures and go, 'I was so pretty!' I didn't need to do all that."
She believes in skin care—frequent facials, intensive moisturizing. "Kevin says, 'You're in the bathroom for 20 minutes,' and he's right," she says. "But I really want to age naturally and to be able to play characters who are my age." She wants to be happy about turning 50. "Like, deeply happy, not just 'I'm fine about it,' " she says. "I'm always grateful, because I know that life is precious. But I want to be even more grateful. I want to be wallowing in gratitude."
I ask if Sedgwick has a role model. "My mom," she immediately answers. "She's willing to hear the hard stuff, and she's always growing. She's changed careers four or five times since her twenties, most recently in her fifties. Now she's 80 and still running for the bus. She has this little shapely figure; she's totally with it. I have that to look forward to. And I feel like I'll get lighter. I was such a serious 20-year-old. I've really lightened up a great deal." What helps: meditating (which she tries to do a few times a week), spending time in nature, hiking and staying fit.
She worries for her daughter, however, and for all young women. It was hard enough when she was young, she says, comparing herself unfavorably to the models in Seventeen. "But I just saw an ad with prepubescent girls, 10 years old, and they were so thin and so inappropriately sexualized," Sedgwick says. "Now it's 10-year-olds who are supposed to be emaciated? How can you have a realistic image of what you're supposed to look like with today's media?" To counter that, she tells her daughter "all the time" that she's beautiful and talks to her about how images are manipulated. Sosie occasionally appeared as her niece on The Closer, but Sedgwick doesn't think acting is her calling. "But who knows?" she says, then adds that even without the pressures of being onscreen, "she's surrounded by girls with eating disorders. I don't know how the bar got lowered [for women]. I really don't."

Kim Kardashian has come under fire recently for her charitable contributions. Many times, the young star sells her personal items on eBay, promising 10% of the proceeds to charity. While that is a wonderful gift, Radar Online, March 28, 2014, uncovered tax documents on how much she really gave to charity.
Fans watched an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" when Kanye cleaned out Kim's closet. Kim took advantage of that episode and tweeted to her followers that all the clothes that Kanye removed from her closet would sell in a charity auction on eBay. The proceeds were going to the Life Change Community Church. However, if you didn't read everything, you might fail to realize that only 10% of the money made was going to charity. The Life Change Community Church is a church founded and funded by Kim's mother, Kris Jenner.
Apparently, Kim does not donate 10% of the actual selling price of the item. They have to wait until everyone else is paid. According to Radar Online, Kim said, "When the eBay numbers get broken down, the auction management agency that posts for me gets a percentage for all their hard work, then, eBay listing fees, end of auction fees, eBay Store fees, PayPal fees, etc, all add up to about half the sale. Then I give 10% to charity."
Radar Online uncovered the PayPal Charitable Giving Fund tax documents that shows how much Kim gave to charity and how much she kept for herself. According to the calculations, the total sale amount may have been around $399,500. Kim received around $179,775, with only $19,975 going to charity.
The donation is a large number, however considering that Kim is worth roughly $40 million, and Kanye is estimated to be worth $100 million, it makes those numbers shrink. When Kim's donation is compared to others on the PayPal Charitable Giving Fund Tax Documents, hers fell short. Sophia bush, supporter of Pencils Of Promise, raised $22,207 in the last financial year. However, Lady Gaga's charity, Born This Way Foundation, made $167,754 in charitable donations.
With all Kim's money and being on the cover of Vogue, what are your thoughts? Do you think she should give more to charity or at least donate the 10% before paying others and herself? Sound off below.
