MAG: Nicole Richie "Threatening to Leave" Joel Madden
Nicole Richie is "fed up with husband Joel Madden's hectic life as a musician," reports the National Enquirer, which goes on to claim that Richie is "threatening to leave him and take their children" if he doesn't quit his band Good Charlotte.
According to a supposed "source" for the tabloid, "Nicole has been complaining nonstop that Joel is like an absentee parent," explaining, "When he's not sequestered in the studio with his band mates, he's touring the globe."
Richie recently "flipped" when Madden informed her of his plans to record some new material, claims the mag.
"She forced him into a corner and made him choose family over career," reveals the "source," adding, "So he reluctantly announced to his band mates that they needed a break."
Actually, he didn't.
None of this ever happened.
A source close to Richie tells Gossip Cop the tab's story is completely "not true," saying that the couple is very supportive of each other's careers.

Dustin is a co-owner in Gameday Cloth and is in Austin running our 2nd Street District location. He had wonderful things to share with his Mom as well:
I have no one specific memory that stands out about my mom. I say that only because she's been consistently great for my entire life. She was always the one who cheered the loudest at youth soccer games, always the one to help me and my sister with our homework, always the one who took care of the family (whether sick, elderly, recovering, etc). She was also the most thoughtful member of the family, the one who makes me laugh the hardest and the one that I miss most often. She's the conscience, the heart and soul, and the rock in my family and I can't put into words how much I love her and how much she's meant to all of us. Happy mother's day Glenda!
So I asked my family to submit Mom Memory's as well. Not to be entered, but I was so moved by everyone's submissions that I wanted to share it with my own Mom. Here is what my older sister sent in from Kentucky:
My memories of mom are too many to try to count. She has been our defender, our protector and our supporter and our cheerleader. She has doctored wounds and wiped away tears - Always quick with a hug and encouragement.
She lifts us up in prayer and is willing to trust God with our todays and our tomorrows.
She let us run off to the four corners making sure we understand we always have a place to return (which we all have at one time or another!!) We can always count on a wonderful meal and some good conversation. No one can deny she's a regular gourmet!!
She let us take on the world standing on our own two feet, but is still always there to encourage us when it isn't going well, share some wisdom when we're making a wrong turn, or dust us off when we land on our butts- yet she also celebrates our victories more sincerely than anyone else.
I know moms love their kids, but God did an extra special job when he made ours.
Thank you for all of your love Mom, none of us would be where we are without it!
My favorite "Mom Memory" centers around my wedding day in December 2011. My Mom helped me plan every detail of my wedding, from the floral arrangements to the music to the food selections! Choosing all of these special details was such a fun bonding experience for my Mom and I. She and I both wanted the wedding day to be perfect...and it was!
When I was little and it was close to bed time, every night I would ask my mom to "pet my head" (play with my hair). She would just lay next to me and mess with my hair til I fell asleep. To this day when I'm going to sleep I just lay there and twirl my hair... :)

We pride ourselves in offering state of the art yacht services in a simple New England village setting.

Many artifacts and sculptures within the Studio and on the waterfront bring the local history to life.

Plan of Action & Appeals
Plan of Action & Appeals
The Lebanese Red Cross policy aims to develop it's position as the most effective humanitarian volunteer Society on the national level. This is achieved by strengthening its voluntary human and financial resources. The capability to mobilize the power of humanity in the society and by concentrating its efforts and services towards the most vulnerable people in order to protect human dignity and contribute to maintaining balance in the society with focus on promoting the national humanitarian spirit among young people.
The Lebanese Red Cross is the largest national humanitarian organization in Lebanon. It has 7000 volunteers (male and female) and a limited number of qualified staff trained to effectively manage the different services and activities and serve the most vulnerable people of the Lebanese community in various fields.
The Lebanese Red Cross has developed its work, services and activities for more than 50 years (since 1945). Its scope of services today includes among others: medical and social services, first aid, teaching first aid techniques, teaching nursing, blood transfusion and distribution, prevention and health education, handicapped services, educational and recreational programs for the youth, dissemination of the International Humanitarian Law and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Principles, mine awareness, school health and other humanitarian activities.
LRC mission is to spread and promote peace, serve the society, alleviate human pain without any discrimination as to nationality, social class or political commitments. The National Society has a leading national role in first aid and ambulance services, as well as providing blood, primary health, and social services.
Nonetheless, LRC will strengthen its position and look to other areas where it will be able to play a significant role, such as disaster preparedness, road safety, preventive health-care services, and youth and volunteer activities which are essential in order to promote humanitarian values among the new generation of citizens. Based on the above, and on the backdrop of the International Federation Strategy 2010, the LRC established development plan with annual plans of action in order to reach the objectives.
The priorities of the society include continuing the implementation of institutional changes based on the organizational development program, focusing on the governance structure by reviewing the organization and establishing a long-term development plan, develop resource management strategies in order to become economically self-sufficient, to support and further develop the activities and recruitment of volunteers in the National Society through various Red Cross activities and services; to strengthen the base of volunteers through youth, to ensure quality performance of the first-aid and ambulance service on a national level, to continue the assistance through primary health care and social centers, support to the most vulnerable part health and social welfare services; ensure quality performance of the services performed through the blood banks, complete the technical set-up of the blood banks and promote blood donations to the public.
How does the Lebanese Red Cross finance its services and activities?
The Society relies mainly on the following resources :
Volunteers membership subscriptions
Symbolic fees collected for medical services, blood transfusion, preventive instructions and teaching programs
Annual fund-raising campaign (contributions of the Lebanese community)
Donations, legacies and aids from individuals, firms and institutions
Programs financed by the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross-Geneva.
Contracts with the public sector (particularly the Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of the Displaced).
Programs financed by international institutions

DEALERSHIP group Caffyns has reported a slump in turnover due to challenging economic conditions and the closure of some dealerships.
Revenues for the 12 months toMarch 31, 2012fell to £170.2 million (2011: £201.5m), although pre-tax profits increased to £1.46m from £270,000.
During the year, Caffyns closed two underperforming sites and three further dealerships were consolidated into adjoining operations to reduce costs and increase profitability. Central support service costs were further reduced by more than £600,000.
In a statement the company said: 'The major restructuring exercise has produced a stronger core business with higher quality, more concentrated businesses and a strong balance sheet.'
Chief executive Simon Caffyn said: 'We have completed a large part of our restructuring and are now in a much stronger position.
'However, we have not yet seen signs of a sustainable improvement in consumer confidence. With difficult market conditions likely to be with us for some time to come, and continuing uncertainty over future events inEurope, we continue to take steps to improve operating performance. We are strategically well placed with resilient premium franchises to take advantage of any improvement in economic conditions.'

No. 2: Hip Hop Dance
Number two on the list and just missing out on the top spot is the juggernaut that is hip hop dance.
Hip hop dancing has been helped in no small part by the explosion of dance films based around it such as Step Up and You've Got Served as well as shows such as America's Best Dance Crew. Does anyone else know why nearly all the best dance crews are composed of hip hop dancers and breakdancers?
Right now appears to be hip hop dance's time though what can be seen is that it has already left enough of a legacy to inspire future generations. More likely than not it will only get stronger and stronger.
Hip hop music surrounds us, so it was just a matter of time before hip hop dance caught on too right? And caught on it did, in a big way.
Ask a child dancer what style they are learning, and placing bets on hip hop dance or variants like street dance will land you money from a kid more often than not.
Of course the hip hop dance mantle has been brewing for some time since the days of locking, popping and breaking but has just taken on newer twists in recent times.
One of these twists is the dance crew. Whereas before you would always have bboy crews where they would all go out into the circle or battle floor and do their own thing, now you have hip hop crews where all the dancers dance almost identically.
The hip hop dancers do all the moves in unison and almost look like one person as they dance. Whether this is a step forward or backwards for evolution remains to be seen.
And these kids aren't afraid to mesh styles together like the Zumba folks either and you can see lockin, popping, breaking, acrobatics and all sorts in one big perfromance.
Hip hop dance is very much the dance of today and arguably the fastest growing one. Yet we have given the top spot to someone else. What style might that be??

- Company: Yves Saint Laurent
- Price: TBA (released in March)
- Official Site: YSL.com
- Release Date: March 2, 2009
The nighttime is definitely the right time for cologne, especially if it's a mysterious fragrance like Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit De L'Homme. As the third installment in YSL's sophisticated L'Homme collection, La Nuit De L'Homme makes a case for itself as the perfect after-hours cologne. The notes of bergamot, cardamom and cedar all lend the fragrance a rich, masculine intensity, while hints of lavender and vetiver bring in more sensuous aromas. As a complete fragrance, the soft and strong bouquets blend together beautifully to make La Nuit De L'Homme a seductive, evening-appropriate cologne.
The fact that La Nuit De L'Homme comes in a little black box speaks volumes. It outwardly suggests, right from the point of purchase, what the cologne's true intention is: to be an opulent olfactory accompaniment to a night on the town. That's exactly where YSL's latest creation makes its mark. Resisting the urge to be day-to-evening versatile like so many of its contemporaries, La Nuit De L'Homme makes no pretense about being a definite nighttime fragrance. It chooses the road less-traveled and forges ahead in its after-hours exclusivity.
The true and lasting significance of YSL's newest scent is that it fills a void. Most modern colognes try to be all things at once -- a scent that can go anywhere, anytime -- but not La Nuit De L'Homme. Where other colognes end up somewhat diluted and insubstantial, La Nuit de L'Homme stands firm with its bold nocturnal allure. La Nuit De L'Homme wisely bridges a gap with its well-defined persona that fills a major void in men's fragrances, both in the global sense and individually in most men's fragrance collections.

Seems simple to me. The Trust is made of six certificates all rated as outlook stable; the largest is $350 million rated AAA in itself.
Anybody else get the sneaking suspicion these are "extended-stay" properties and Squatters' Rent is about to become Actual Rent very soon?
I don't have the list of the properties. However, the loan per property is probably not more than twice the land value. What type of security would you consider worthy of a AAA rating?

A rat, of course.
"The fight back in April was the opening salvo of the war between Democrats and Republicans. I think this was the first definitive evidence that our government was so deeply divided that it had become dysfunctional."
Was that April 1930 or 1931? Or maybe it was another year.

I hope there will be an non-violent transition. Kind of: It`s so true, nobody will fight it. One can hope.
The US Government needs a good mini-bar and there all set - back to AAA!
"Bernanke gets mini-bar for Fed - restores AAA....."
Fuck the mini-bar. The Bernank's gotta get with it. Bruichladdich Forty, Glen Garioch, Chivas Regal Royal Salute, Glenfiddich Rare, and of course some Frapin Cuvee 1888 for Sarkozy and DSK when he gets his clubpass back. Oh yeah and some Altadis' Behike in the humidor.
From this day on, hotels will NOT be known as three star, four star and five star hotels. They will be known as AAA, AA, BB etc etc etc.
What has me worried, is if this CDO is truly AAA, then how bad is the USA for her to be given a AA+ ?
Fuck the ratings.
Rate the places by the cockroaches. If they are not too scary and you get a good night's sleep.. all the better. I like the big ones that hiss.
I'm thinking Moody's might know of some hidden assets (or asses?)-perhaps hookers in the lobbies, which add both collateral value and a real cash flow stream to these hotel properties. Either that or hookers from the hotels were sent to Moodys to ass ist in obtaining the AAA rating?
Enough puns for the night. You got to keep laughing or you'd go insane!
Ratings agencies do "intensive reviews" (or words to that effect) for extra fees.
Your company pays them to conduct a review and (surprise!!) they give you a higher rating than you had before.
Been this way for a long, long time. That's how they make their money.
...simple, Triple A means ''AAAh!'', you just pronounce ''AAA'' spelled with an ''h!''. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIm2y7UrJ8w&playnext=1&list=PL12CBD1884DDE5189
Not sure how Moody's gets a 3.45 dscr? That has to be one bullshit pro forma they are working with to achieve that coverage. 1.59 would be a good dscr. 3.45 is not very believable based on the LTV unless the rates are close to 0. Have to wonder if their stress case includes a spike in rates? More than likely it is just some marginal decline in NOI.
Speaking of crisis, how about the crisis of moral decay. Sorry to be OT here, but maybe someone can get this up at ZH as a guest post... seems to be gaining traction elsewhere (inspired by the looting/riots in the UK)
Peter Oborne is the Daily Telegraph's chief political commentator
over 3,500 comments so far, the vast majority favoring it
Companion article. Attempts to explain the first article.
Excellent article, with 4500 comments now!
"If a bond secured by a bunch of so-so hotels can get a AAA just what the hell does a AAA mean?"
I guess that just goes to show you what they think of the USGov situation...
or Moody's got a big fat check in the mail from the issuers? Time to abolish ratings agencies for the farce they are.
Why not? Keep that music going, until it stops.
There's still folks believing in ratings...
Another good piece, BK, thanks for sharing.

Weren't you trying to remain ambivalent and unbiased towards rating agencies the other day Bruce when they downgraded the US?
Weren't you trying to remain ambivalent and unbiased towards rating agencies the other day Bruce when they downgraded the US?
Very sobering post. It looks to me, I don't know much at all about this subject, that the same characters, and similar actors, are doing the same kinds of things that worked out so well in 2007-2008. Is this what happens to you when you buy into a Bond Mutual Fund? The Fund manager buys this shit for you and you never even know it? In the face of even slightly recessionary business climate this seems like exactly the kind of "AAA" that could go very bad very fast.
how about a story on who really owns the Lobby Whores in DC Bruce?
Amidst a financial and economic crisis, Congress has reached its summer recess and many representatives are going to Israel.
Altogether, 81 Congressmen and women have announced their one-week trips, paid for by the American Israel Education Fund, a non-profit affiliate of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
What's RIGHT with this picture, I take worthless, devaluing pieces of green paper, and trade them for a shiney gold metal that increases in value and has been on the face of the earth long before paper was even discovered, and will still be here long after WE and the paper are all gone. Just askin..........................................
The White House should cut social securityand medicade.. even though there are $2.5 Trillion in I.O.U.'s!
The President should go along with Austerity ALL THE WAY TO THE BONE!
that way the riots can start and be over just that much more quickly!
Lets hope Bruce that the hungry armed Americans stop by your house before anyone elses.. as you think it is such a wonderful idea to starve an armed nation!
good luck!
the mkts are telling the usa (via s&p) your rate$ are not high enough for the risk they carry. But money keeps pouring into treasuries ©2%, saying the downgrade was meaningless.
This is the deflation scenariio' which keeps the fed up at night..money pouring Into the US Dollar.
Not to mention $850 billion in student loans, 60% not performing. Ahhhh what's another half trillion! Remember obama's civilian army? The student loan slaves!
You mean the next Bailout Boondogglepalooza is at the end of Septemeber, right?
Question for perceptive ZH'ers: is stealth Bernanke QE taking place in the EU?
He could do so by way of the Fed's swap lines. Impaired debt has been available to buy. The ECB lacks the horsepower to kill the bear market. This 'rally' has Bernanke's fingerprints all over it.
Very fishy about how the dying stock markets have been brought back to life like Lazarus:
It takes more to move the credit markets against the surging tide of default risk than a measly five- or ten billion euro bond purchase. Purchases in hundred-billion euro increments are necessary. The total euro debt at risk by Spain and Italy — in addition to the impaired sovereign debt of the current wards Eire, Portugal and Greece — is over two trillion euros. Where does the peewee ECB get that kind of money? Trichet isn't going to go out on a limb and simply print the money without something or someone covering his butt. That 'someone' isn't Angela Merkel or Nicolas Sarkozy: for one reason, they don't have the money!
The Bundesbank isn't going to print up trillions of fiat euros. It and the French central bank could and probably should in the short term but they won't. The Eurobankers possess neither the scope nor the ambition, that inflationary "Sun in the belly".
Top of the line Cheater Analysis. I read something here at zerohedge regarding the fed and their new swaplines... why print money at home when you can do it in europe? You know they've got great chocolate over there. Nestle's is just too good. No reason those Nestle's bars shouldn't cost €500,788 now and €505,228 twenty minutes from now..
How the hell do you search inside ZH? Where's the search?
I'm seeing orders? track? Have my excellent broker type friends finally found a way to get money from me? I'm definitely considering it.
And has anybody seen ZH in the MSM? I smell a friggin' 20 minute segment w/ John Stossel. W/ a guest appearance by Paul. Keep Tyler in shadow and change his voice while he answers Stossel's Interview from an undisclosed remote location via Link. Hell, even a frontline world 10min would be ok. When will the MSM come around? I think at some point the MSM has to start sniffin' around... Tyler's just too compelling and has that rough-hewn animal magnetism, especially in shadow. Maybe you could get Brad to step in and wear an earpiece to Tyler's mic. I tell you what... I'd be very interested in that program. C'mon Tyler - think about it. You could have a whole new career as "the coolest talking head" in history. I could see you as a regular on Imus. Stewart, Mahr, O'Reilley, CNBC - hell anything. We've got to start seeing this stuff in the MSM. C'mon Tyler. You're tough. I've seen the movie. Hell, I'd never fuck with you. I'm callin' you Mr. Tyler til you tell me otherwise. Take one for the team.
We've got to get people to start understanding this shit. I'm explaining shit all the time. Sometimes they get it. I figure I'll just keep hammerin' until that light-bulb goes off. I just explained the "stub quote issue" to my wife and she squinted her eyes, and said, "oh, those bastards..." Just keep preachin' the word of ZH. People are interested in this stuff. Hell I just convinced one of my employees to take his pay in silver. Like he said, "one way or another I got to pay a fee to get my paycheck cashed." He finally got it. "Fuck the banks. I'll take the silver." Then it's off to the bodega for a cold one. Ahhhhhh.
Oh yeah, today, 8/12/11, down at the bodega, 4 Roosevelt Dimes will buy you a pack of smokes and a six-pack.
It's true Mr. Durden, I'd pay-per-view to see that.
(where is "search")
Steve, good point. It may be the same method thet the Fed used to bail out Mexico in 1994 via the Fed as described in detail by Andrew Guase in his book, The Secret World of Money.
Here is his web site:
His radio show is well worth listening to.
It means that we are up the creek, and everyone in Washington knows it.
AAA on SF deals is meaningless. The RA models can't hope to capture an appropriate stress scenario to justify giving anything a AAA.
I would love to see the pricing on those AAA - whoever bought those is a sucker.
Obviously the ratings agencies have no doubt that every loss on this garbage will be bailed out by the US taxpayer.
History reflects they are absolutely right!
Cue the next bonus crisis, we need some systemic risk dripping with moral hazard!
I wonder if Skinny Dick's Halfway Inn made it into the senior tranche. These sell-side fukkers will never give up on the con....never.
My wife and daughter stayed in a American Automobile AAA rated motel once many years ago in Cheyenne Wyoming that turned out to be in a not so nice area and was dirty. I guess a AAA rating is in the eyes of the rating agency and rather subjective just like our friends on the Street today!!!
Whaddaya mean what is a AAA rating worth? It's worth just what you pay for it.
Bring out the Malcontents : )
This will be on the Fed balance sheet before you know it...
The government isn't divided. It's united in screwing and selling out the public.
+1. You and I get it!
Yet comments like this one from Bruce show just how blind the rest of the country is:
"I think this was the first definitive evidence that our government was so deeply divided that it had become dysfunctional."
Exactly how many fucking times do they need to be told that the government is not divided - it is working as a tag team to achieve certain objectives on behalf of the globalists that finance and control it. The stand-off is kabuki ... the handover of law-making to the Super Congress is planned ... the tough talk by Obomber is externally scripted ... the eventual collapse into a martial law police state is progressing on schedule.
However, some brain-dead morons are still expecting that Ron Paul, or the Tea Party, or Obama, or the Democrats, or the Republicans, or some other figment of their imagination, will suddenly snap their fingers and undo a 50-year plan that is now in its 49th year and steam-rolling all in its path.
There is no solution while a bought, paid-for, and closely controlled, federal government -- of both politicians and career bureaucrats -- in Washington (or Brussels) is directing the play.

Blue Fin Sushi is one of the best sushi restaurants in Henderson, Nevada. Most ethnic food connoisseurs enjoy their experience at this particular restaurant. Attention is paid to every detail from service to the fresh cuts of fish. The prices are affordable and the presentation is impeccable.
The restaurant possesses a quiet ambiance that you can enjoy, with friends, family, dates or a contemplative dinner alone. The staff is accommodating and eager to make the experience memorable each visit. The portions are plentiful. All you can eat sushi bars are available, as well as, ala carte menus.
Sushi may come in a variety of types:
This type of sushi consists of a rice mound compacted into an oblong shape and served with a selection of fish on top. Often the fish is salmon, tuna, unagi, ika, or anago. Wasabi may also be added for a spicy flavor enhancement.
This is a most common type of sushi. Fish, vegetables and other ingredients are often wrapped in nori or seaweed and cut into cylindrical rolls for presentation.
Western Sushi
California rolls are the most commonly ordered sushi in Americanized cultures. The preparation is similar to Makizushi with rice, cucumber, avocado, and crab rolled in nori or seaweed paper and cut into cylindrical rolls for presentation.
The health benefits of sushi can be remarkable. It contains omega-3 fatty acids from the fish and essential vitamins from the vegetables. Because the fish is served raw, the ethnic diner does not have to be concerned about added fats from oils. The fish is order soaked in vinegar to kill parasites before serving the food to guests.
The restaurant is immaculate. It is small and quaint, accommodating approximately 34 guests at the bar. The environment is incredibly relaxing, possessing a Zen-like atmosphere for each ethnic diner that visits. Blue Fin Sushi and Roll is definitely one of the best dining experiences away from the Las Vegas Strip.
Services, such as Eat24Hours.com provides ethnic diners the added benefit of ordering to their home or office for dinner parties or business meetings. The restaurant is truly a remarkable dining experience for all to enjoy. If you are seeking an overall quality, ethnic dining experience away from the strip, consider Blue Fin Sushi and Roll.
Chef Jin Chang is waiting to showcase his culinary and cutlery skills at the following address:

When dealing with a child who is angry, it is important to remember this one essential thing: almost all misbehavior stems from a very strong emotion the child is feeling at that time.
As a rule, children, especially young children, often have difficulty articulating their feelings; therefore those feelings come out in the form of tantrums or defiance. They simply have not learned another way of addressing how hurt, angry or disappointed they are. All too often, parents, teachers and other adults in a position of authority react to the child's misbehavior rather than realizing it is the feeling fueling the behavior that needs to be addressed.
According to Noël Janis-Norton, author of Calmer, Happier, Easier Parenting, there are things we can do to help defuse children when they are angry. This information should be of benefit to anyone who deals with children of any age.
The foundation of her approach is reflective listening, or, in effect, listening with your heart. Reflective listening provides a way for you to make the child feel better and, as a result, feel like behaving better. It helps both children and adults move through their feelings more quickly and easily, toward acceptance and problem-solving. Listening reflectively is a specific way to constructively acknowledge the child's feelings after which the misbehavior normally clears up.
This approach is supported by the latest brain research which indicates that when a child is in the midst of "big emotion," their emotional right brain has taken over. Unfortunately, as adults, we tend to respond with logic and reason – left-brain characteristics. No wonder the two find themselves on the opposite side of the issue at that point in time. If adults can learn a specific way of dealing with the emotions, however, the two sides of the brain can work together to resolve the problem.
Reflective listening is not just about being sympathetic to the child. It is about taking the time and making the effort to truly understand what the child is feeling at the moment, and then reflecting back to him in words he can understand what you imagine he is feeling. First and foremost, this shows the child you care. Likely, we have all told a child to "Use your words." At a time they have no clue as to what to say. Over time, reflective listening will provide the child with a rich and varied vocabulary for sharing emotions.
Look for the follow-up article, How to master reflective listening for tips from Noël Janis-Norton to help you deal well with upset children.

From City of Joondalup:
The City of Joondalup�s Yellagonga Interpretive Signage Project at Neil Hawkins Park has been recognised at the 2011 WA Heritage Awards, winning the Outstanding Interpretation Project That Enhances a Place category.
The WA Heritage Awards recognise outstanding commitment and contribution to heritage conservation and interpretation in Western Australia. The Awards honour individuals and organisations whose work has resulted in significant achievements in the promotion and conservation of cultural heritage.
Joondalup Mayor Troy Pickard said winning a heritage award was a significant achievement and confirmed the value of sharing the many stories associated with heritage sites. �The Yellagonga Interpretive Signage Project is about raising awareness in the community of the environmental, cultural and heritage values of the Yellagonga Regional Park, which is one of the City�s most beautiful natural areas and a real tourist attraction,� he said.
�The interpretive signage within Neil Hawkins Park provides detail on the biodiversity of the area and how the Nyungar people have used the surrounding native plant species.�
�The annual awards highlight best practice in conservation and interpretation of State Registered heritage places and winning this particular award confirms that Joondalup has heritage attractions of value for Western Australians and tourists to the region.�
Heritage Awards judges said the City�s Yellagonga Interpretive Signage Project was �an outstanding multilayered project that encompasses all aspects of heritage. This project focuses on our sense of place in an environment that has minimal European built history�.
Mayor Pickard said the City would like to acknowledge Indigenous elder Neville Collard for his assistance in providing information and research for the Interpretive Signage Project and the Department of Environment and Conservation for the grant funding for this important initiative.
The City was also a finalist in the category of Outstanding Heritage Practices by a Local Government for its Local History Digitalisation Project, which involves transferring the City�s extensive Local History collection into electronic form.

Meet the Mega-Juggler
I tend to think I have a pretty tough juggle.
But every once in a while, I come across someone who I like to call a "mega-juggler" – someone who walks a much tougher tightrope than most.
I recently had lunch with Ann Miletti, 44, senior portfolio manager for Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, who manages a $4 billion fund and a team of 15 people.
Her juggle began when she was 23 and gave birth to a baby with a serious heart condition. At the time, she was a teacher and her husband a diesel mechanic.
They realized that not only would their medical bills soar but also that someone would have to watch the baby night and day. The only option was for Miletti to completely change her lifestyle — and she did. (Her husband couldn't change his daytime shift.)
Ann began working the night shift at a call center for a mutual fund, slowly working her way up to become portfolio manager over the next 17 years. Miletti had to manage with very little sleep as she had to look after the baby during the day. Her husband watched him during the night, giving him the medicines he needed.
"I didn't have a grand plan and I realized that setting goals is great but life takes different turns," said Miletti.
Ann went on to have a second child even as she traveled around the country and made sure the medical bills were paid. "I wasn't there for every game," she said, but made every attempt to stay in touch via phone. As the children grew older, Miletti even took the two children on some business trips so they saw what her time away from home entailed.
Her husband was very supportive all through. He looked after the kids, now 21 and 19, when she was on business trips.
"This was not the life we had planned but it made me a different kind of parent and a different kind of worker," she said.
Readers, what life events have hit you in ways that were shocking and surprising? How did you reorganize your life to accommodate these surprises? Do you feel that events that seem negative at the time tend to work out for the best? Do you know any mega-jugglers?

January 29, 2010
Beginning in the fall of 2009, students enrolled in the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry's Dental Hygiene Program began a rotation in San Francisco to work and study. The hygiene students, who normally study at University of the Pacific's main campus in Stockton, now spend four days each at the San Francisco campus and the Union City clinic as part of their program.
Fostering a sense of partnership between dentists and hygienists, the rotation is giving dental students and hygiene students the opportunity to learn from each other. While in San Francisco, hygiene students observe procedures in the school's many clinics and serve as teaching assistants to Integrated Clinical Science (ICS) professors. They also spend time together in the school's Union City clinic, where they experience a professional working environment similar to private practice.
"Teaching the first-year dental students how to probe was awesome," said Ashley August, dental hygiene class of 2010. "You realize how much you have learned and how far you have come when you teach someone else."
Additionally, the hygiene students are allowed to watch emergency and surgery procedures, and frequently are asked to assist. In the pediatric clinic, hygiene students are given the opportunity to treat patients and enhance their patient management skills in partnership with dental students.
The dental hygiene rotation was initiated to encourage collaboration between dentists and hygienists. Typically, dental students have minimal contact with hygiene students. This rotation reveals the capabilities of the hygiene students and promotes a solid partnership among the school's dental and hygiene graduates. During their rotation, hygiene students stay in student housing, which also allows them to socialize with dental students in a non-academic environment. Thus far, feedback about the rotation has been positive.
"I realized how far I've come in such a short time," said Katie Thode, dental hygiene class of 2010, about her time teaching in ICS. "I loved how everyone was so friendly and so appreciative of our help."
Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry's Dental Hygiene Program is the nation's first 36-month program leading to a bachelor of science degree in dental hygiene. By integrating education, experiential learning and clinical practice, students learn to work with the dentist and the dental team to treat a wide variety of patients. Details about the program are available on the dental school's web site.

A group in San Francisco is trying to help turn an issue of homelessness around by providing the simplest of services: Access to hygiene.
What's more is they're doing that by recycling buses that the city was no longer able to use. The founder of Lava Mae (which seems like a play on the Spanish phrase for "wash myself," lavame), Doniece Sandoval, says that in the city of San Francisco there are only seven locations for the city's homeless to bathe. She continues, " So we're looking at 16-20 shower stalls for the 3,500 people who actually live on the street and that's untenable. And I just thought, if you have take gourmet food and put it on wheels, why not showers and toilets?"
Sandoval read an article about the feds giving money to the city to replace old diesel buses and was curious what was actually going to happen to them. She found out there was a donation process and was able to obtain a bus.
But of course, in the city of San Francisco there are many regulations and permitting issues to tackle first. They realized that driving a large bus with giant water tanks would destabilize the vehicle, so they decided to pull water from fire hydrants.
Lead architect Brett Terpeluk says, "The biggest challenge, I think, was how to deal with all the blackwater and greywater, which is generated from two showers running every half hour, eight hours a day. That's a lot of water."
Each bus has two showers in it and in each shower is a skylight and digitally controlled shower temperatures for hot and cold. The bus will also offer soap, shampoo and towels free of charge. The total cost of restructuring the van was $75,000 and was funded through private donations, including one from Google.
For now, the group is partnering with an existing non-profit group that helps the homeless but doesn't have the ability to provide hygiene. The official launch of the bus will be in spring of 2015, and the group plans on launching more vehicles.
Of her mission, Sandoval says, "We believe hygiene brings dignity, and dignity opens up opportunity."

Two Tennessee witnesses traveling west along Highway 27 in Crossville reported watching and videotaping a hovering, triangle-shaped UFO with flashing lights that was less than 100 feet off of the ground, according to February 23, 2014, testimony in Case 54221 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
They first noticed blinking lights in the sky and that the object appeared to be slow moving about 10:35 a.m. on February 22, 2014.
"About that time we noticed that it was uncomfortably close, so I pulled over and we watched this craft basically hover right over us (east) and past us," the reporting witness stated. "We were travelling about 55 mph when we noticed the craft. It appeared massive in comparison to us."
The witness described the craft's lighting.
"The craft seemed to be lined with yellow and red and some lights which shimmered in a weird way which was unlike the blinking lights of an airplane, where some yellow lights seemed not to waver in intensity."
They also noticed beams of light coming from the object.
"Additionally there appeared to be beams of light coming from the bottom of the craft which were much dimmer, but larger. It literally looked like two search lights were mounted on it."
After the object passed, the two continued driving, but telephoned friends, who also reported seeing an unusual object, but in a different location.
The witness uploaded two videos - the first is a video that they shot at their location; and the second is from a nearby location that their friend's shot: Video 1 and Video 2.
"Our video is included as well as the other from Crossville tonight, neither of which are substantial in my unprofessional opinion."
Crossville is the county seat of Cumberland County, TN, population 10,795. Tennessee had 5 UFO reports in January 2014 - the 34th highest reporting state - while California had 102 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page.
The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man-made. If Tennessee MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Schools need upgrades
October 20, 2013
Mike Lucy, Minot As we started our family we were apprehensive about having our children attend such a large school district....
City Costs are fixed? That has to be prime example of rhetoric without using facts. Do you think the city is immune from rising costs and that new police, firefighters and other workers are free. Also this is a school system bond it has nothing to do with City of Minot budget or tax levy.

I will certainly vote YES! Thank you for your article.

a school rep said the average bill would be $700 for many years(maybe till satan's crib freezes). then we add the utilities and maintenance for eternity. the obvious question is why aren't the new properties paying for the school increase? something is very wrong here. some city costs are fixed and do not increase with this "progress" so why the big tax wish? Just say no. we said no on the last new school request--they scoffed at us and bought a clinic then renovated it to be the new Washington school. we get to vote again now. vote no and let them know this is supposed to be a democracy where the majority is supposed to rule. teach them "character counts"

Why thank you kindly Filmy - and since minot taxmasters think almost everyone's home is worth 200 grand now, it's only 2900.00+ for approx. property tax. Now Filmy, wanna help us out once more and let us know what it would be with the latest increase? i heard 456.00 once, but that was without the inevitable 'cost overruns' figured in yet. and that came from a politician so i don't think i'll take his word for it.

I will be voting no on this issue, and I will be encouraging everyone else that I know to vote no on this bond as well. If the school wants money, they can go ask the state for it. The citizens are sick of paying more and more and more.

many of us cannot afford more taxes. we can't afford more hockey, a new event center, a bubble or any other embellishments. this is the 1 chance where a deaf city must listen. vote no and let the billions in the state coffers pay for our school needs.

besides, we have a few people on fixed incomes that haven't been forced to move to Bismarck yet, (where most i know have moved to) A YES vote will help get these people out of here. since that's what minot leaders seem to want. if you want to know what your property tax is, cut your house pmt in half and you should be pretty close. the amount per 1000 in valuation used to be on the assessor website, but i couldn't find it now.

College Hockey:Colgate downs Robert Morris
Raiders advance to Stampede title game
OMAHA, Neb. — Colgate got its 2011-12 campaign off to a solid start, besting Robert Morris 3-1 on Friday in the opening game of the Maverick Stampede at CenturyLink Center.
It was a typical season-opener, leaving both teams with things to improve on in Saturday's final round of the tournament. Colgate looked the brighter side on Friday, however, coming from behind before going ahead early in the second period and capping off the game with another goal in the third.
Friday's opening period was a streaky one for both teams. Colgate burst out to an early lead in shots (6-0) and scoring opportunities. RMU looked tentative in the game's initial throes, and the Colonials seemed almost glad to let the game come to them.
RMU then drew the game's first penalty, giving the Colonials their first real opportunity to attack. They did just that, with forward Trevor Lewis ripping a hard shot low in the slot past Colgate goalie Alex Evin for a power-play goal 3:59 into the game.
The tally gave RMU a noticeable boost in confidence, but the Colonials were unable to get out of the period with their lead intact. RMU nearly got there, but with 1:14 left in the frame, Colgate equalized.
Raider forward Robbie Bourdon did the honors, beating RMU goaltender Brooks Ostergard off a rebound following an unsuccessful shot from Raider linemate John Lidgett.
Colgate head coach Don Vaughan saw Bourdon's strike as the game's turning point.
"Robbie's been a big goal scorer for us for a while, and we needed that goal there before the horn," the Raider coach said. "Any time you go into the locker room down a goal, it changes the dynamics (of the game), so that was an important goal to get.
"I didn't think we generated enough shots tonight, but clearly that was one instance where we made one count, and it was a big one."
Colgate then doubled its lead 6:17 into the second period. Forward Kurtis Bartliff was credited with the goal, latching onto another Ostergard rebound just outside the goalmouth and slotting the puck home.
RMU began playing with a greater sense of urgency after that, hitting and skating harder throughout the third period. It couldn't stop Colgate from getting an insurance goal, though. Raider forward Joe Wilson effectively ended the game at 8:15 of the third period, finishing a great pass-and-move mini-clinic by Colgate's top line in the RMU zone.
Colgate got the win it deserved in the end, but Vaughan didn't appear as though he was about to celebrate for too long. Instead, he stressed after Friday's game a need for his Raiders (1-0-0) to be ready to face No. 14 Nebraska-Omaha in the Stampede final on Saturday.
"It's our first game, and I thought there was some tentativeness, but I was really happy with our young guys," Vaughan said. "It's early, though, and we have lots to work on, and we'll get the kinks out. We've yet to find out just how good we are, but it's great to get a win right away."
RMU (0-1-0) also has left itself with room for improvement ahead of Saturday's Maverick consolation game against Mercyhurst. Colonial head coach Derek Schooley was quick to admit that there are wrinkles that need to be ironed out.
"I thought it was a typical first game," Schooley said. "There were a lot of mistakes both ways and a lot of things that both teams probably need to improve on.
"There are some good things that we did and that we can build on, but there are some things we need to work on, and we've got to be better tomorrow. It's about getting better every day."
