The list is definitely rock and pop heavy—Bruce Springsteen, Prince and The Rolling Stones are 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
But two country acts snuck onto a new Rolling Stone magazine list of the 50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now [1], a list voted on by a bunch of, well, rock and pop artists, industry insiders and journalists.
Eric Church came in at No. 40, with the magazine describing his show as "a gig that recalls arena rock's golden age."
Taylor Swift squeaked in at No. 49 (just ahead of No. 50 indie rocker Fiona Apple).
"She's a kiddie feminist heroine who knows just the right dose of hooks, glitter, and stories about her famous exes to whip arena crowds into a teary frenzy," the magazine says.
"Swift has grown into a live powerhouse by stepping up her singing chops and making every fan in the house feel like they have a very tall, very talented BFF who just wants to hang for a few hours and gab about boys 'n' stuff."
Of course, there are probably dozens of country stars—like Brad Paisley—who are glad they didn't get a nod from Rolling Stone. Brad led the charge of country artists [2] who spoke out against the magazine putting a glam shot of a Boston Marathon bomber on its cover.

Amendment To General Obligations Law Section 15-108 Encourages Plaintiffs To Voluntarily Discontinue Against Ostensibly Blameless Defendants, But At What Cost To The Remaining Defendants
New York General Obligations Law § 15-108 is an important statute to defense counsel practicing personal injury litigation in New York, because it establishes rules for apportionment of damages and contribution claims among joint tortfeasors in situations where one defendant in a multiple defendant lawsuit is released prior to trial.
Excess Carrier With "Follow Form" Policy Not Bound By Primary Carrier's Coverage Determination
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently ruled that an excess insurer that issued a "follow form" policy, with policy terms identical to the primary policy, was not bound by coverage determinations made by the primary carrier. In Allmerica Fin. Co. v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's London, 499 Mass. 621, 871 N.E. 2d 418 (2007), the Court held that an excess carrier was entitled to make an independent coverage determination and was not bound by the coverage determination of the primary carrier, even if the policy language of the excess policy was identical to the language of the primary policy.
Express Language Requiring Signed Contract Trumps Contrary Oral Agreement And Acts
In Jordan Panel Systems Corp. v. Turner Construction Co., N.Y.L.J. Sept. 24, 2007 at 18 (App. Div., 1st Dept.), the First Department affirmed Defendant's motion to dismiss the Complaint, which asserted causes of action for breach of contract, promissory estoppel and recovery in quasi contract. Id. at 18. Plaintiff claimed that Defendant revoked an oral award of a subcontract after Plaintiff had already commenced performance, but Defendant countered that its written preliminary terms expressly required a fully executed written sub-contract before it will be bound, even if work on the subcontract had commenced. Id.
N.Y. Court of Appeals Affirms Holding Regarding An Insurer's Broad Duty To Defend Additional Insureds
New York's highest court recently issued a decision affirming, in part, a decision by the First Department, holding that a carrier was obligated to defend a purported additional insured in an action where it had not yet been shown or established that an alleged injury arose from the named insured's operations, despite language in the subject policy's additional insured endorsement limiting coverage for the additional insured to cases where its liability arises out of the named insured's ongoing operations for the additional insured. BP Air Conditioning Corp. v. One Beacon Ins. Group, 8 N.Y.3d 708, 840 N.Y.S.2d 302 (2007).
New York's Common Law "No Prejudice" Late Notice Rule Has Close Call With Legislature, And Despite Governor's Veto, The Issue Is Likely Not Over
Over the course of three days in June, 2007, just prior to the summer recess, a bill was introduced and passed by both houses of New York's Legislature. Senate Bill Number 6306, introduced by Senator John A. DeFrancisco, contained proposed changes to New York's civil law and practice rules pertaining to the insurance law.
Settlement Agreement Negotiated Without Consent Of Insurer Is Not Binding On Insurer That Provides A Defense Under A Reservation Of Rights
The New Jersey Appellate Division recently found that an insurer providing a defense under a reservation of rights to its insured, but excluded from settlement negotiations, was not bound by the resulting settlement agreement. The focus of the Court's holding was that the insurer, while improperly denying coverage, nonetheless provided the insured with a defense. Therefore, the Court concluded, the insurer did not abandon its insured and the insured was obligated under the terms of the policy to avoid assuming any obligations without the consent of the insurer. As such, the Court held that the insurer was not bound by the terms of the settlement agreement.

An all-new, well nearly all-new, group of businessmen has been assigned to the Elkins-Randolph County Airport Authority. With the exception of member at large, Chuck Stivers, and president Joe Biola, all are new to the authority.
Following a recent mass resignation, reigning members appointed Stivers, the Randolph County Commission appointed Nils Heinke and Charles Jordan and Elkins City Council appointed Jack Pappas. Biola was appointed by City Council earlier. Dick Chaney remains the airport manager.
A feeling is beginning to emerge in the community that an invigorated and enthusiastic group is now intent on promoting the airport through community awareness programs and advertising. This will allow the airport to once again become the vital part of the community infrastructure that it once was. According to Chaney, "It is going to take time for this to happen - it can't happen overnight. I hope the community will give the new members of the authority time to gain an understanding of airport operations and the many complex Federal Aviation Administration programs that are involved in ensuring that it meets and continues to meet safety criteria.
"The new board is already involved in constructing a new five- and 10-year strategic plan," Chaney said. "That plan outlines the goals of where it would like to be at those baselines of time and the avenues of reaching them."
One of the projects mentioned by Chaney includes the extension of Runway 14-32.
"Property has already been purchased and the design phase for the extension is underway," he said. "We will be adding 800 feet of surfaced runway and a 300-foot overrun safety area. We are also investigating the possibility of getting the instrument approaches changed in a way that will permit aircraft to descend to a lower altitude when landing in instrument meteorological conditions. A study is underway to reassess the obstacles surrounding the airport, both manmade and topographic. The results of these studies will be stored in digital format for future reference and use; they will also be used to determine if the approach minimums can be lowered and if the installation of a Global Positioning System (GPS) system is feasible and can be established for Runway 14-32. GPS approaches are already in use for Runway 5-23, the primary instrument runway."
Chaney said that he understands that the airport does not enjoy a favorable reputation in the community.
"I believe the new members see the urgency to change that. Too many people feel that it serves only the few that own airplanes and that the facility is primarily for those that 'have money.' We must help them understand that were it not for the airport, several businesses in the area would have been located elsewhere. In addition to the many privately owned pleasure aircraft based at the airport and those that arrive and depart daily, the airport is visited by many corporate aircraft owned or operated by companies such as Wal-Mart, Armstrong, Kingsford Charcoal, Hampton Inn and several others. Sometimes it's hard to see the contributions an airport makes to the community and the importance of its role in the overall infrastructure, but if we didn't have these, and others, businesses in our community that located here because of the convenience the airport provides to their traveling corporate officers, a lot of people would not have jobs here - they would be working somewhere else."
Chaney said that the newly appointed members are looking for ways of getting the airport more involved in tourism.
"We are located at the western gateway to the Allegheny Mountain Chain, which boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in the eastern United States. We are centrally located between two major east coast ski resorts, each within an hour drive or less. I believe we can become an aviation hub not only for the winter ski industry of our region, but for the tourism industry of the summer and autumn months as well.
Chaney said the airport recently received a reimbursement grant from the West Virginia Aeronautic Commission for the improvement of the airport terminal building.
"The money will be used to install new, more energy efficient doors and other improvements. This will help reduce the heating costs and is the beginning of going green here at the airport."
The city's newly appointed representative Jack Pappas said, "We will take our fiduciary responsibility very seriously and use the airport as an economic development tool for the community. Our main concern, though, will be airport safety."
The Downtown Merchant's Association had a special meeting Tuesday and it was decided to have a four-fold leaflet printed and sent to tourism trade shows promoting Elkins' downtown shopping area. While not promoting any one entity in particular, the leaflet will promote the overall shopping and dining spectrum. This in an effort to encourage bus companies to incorporate time for local shopping into the schedules of those who come to Elkins.
Local shopkeepers and restaurant owners are concerned that they are missing the economic boon that tourism is bringing to their city.
Keep in mind that the annual Elkins-Randolph County Chamber of Commerce Christmas parade will be at 6 p.m. Dec. 5. If you want to be in the parade, get your request in to the chamber office immediately.
Downtown merchants are planning an open house that evening also - some may carry it over to include Saturday evening as well. What better way to kick off the Christmas season than a parade with youngsters' faces aglow with the expectations of the season - and a visit with Santa after the parade. Let's all join in and make this the best season "kick-off" yet. Those who would like to help with the parade - and help is always needed - may call the chamber office at (304) 636-2717, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

[Bible Hill, NS] - New items, old in nature, are on display at the Antique Farm Equipment Museum.
The museum, which is located on the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition grounds in Bible Hill, houses more than 3,000 items and a walk through the building is like a journey back in time.
"One of our newest additions is an old knitting machine," said Antique Farm Equipment Museum committee member Dick Huggard. "Paige (Baird) put parts from three or four old ones together to make one that will knit now. They were from the early 1920s and cost $72, so they were quite expensive."
The museum has also added a wooden washing machine, patented in 1888, which was found in a building in Onslow Mountain, and a wood-burning cooper stove, which was used to warm wood so it could be bent to make barrels.
"We're organizing things with a theme approach in some areas," said Huggard. "We have dairy, poultry, kitchen, blacksmith and fun on the farm. The kitchen has a stove that was made at the Brule foundry and the blacksmith shop includes a lot of tools that were made locally by blacksmiths."
There are several antique wagons, tractors and other pieces of equipment from years past.
The items on display have been donated and the museum committee is always glad to hear from people with something new to add to the collection, including old records of events and trophies from exhibitions and shows.
The museum is open Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10 until noon until the exhibition, as well as during special events, such as the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition, NSAC open house, 4-H shows, bluegrass festival and Atlantic Grand Circuit Week. Schools and church groups have arranged visits and the facility will be the site of a wedding reception in the fall. No admission is charged but donations are gratefully accepted.
"If any groups are interested in coming through we're willing to open this up for them," added Huggard. "People enjoy looking at old things and we like to make them available for viewing. This is part of our history and we encourage people to come and see it."

Former Detroit City Council president Monica Conyers has been sentenced to 37 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Avern Cohn. The judge also gave her two years supervised probation, according to reports.
Upon hearing the sentence, Conyers reportedly began screaming and vowed to appeal the decision.
She must report to prison on July 1.
Conyers, wife of Rep. John Conyers (D- Detroit) admitted taking at least $6,000 in bribes in connection with her vote concerning a Texas-based sludge-hauling company.
Bribery conspiracy can carry a sentence of five years, and prosecutors had requested Conyers receive something in the four-year range.
Conyers has 10 days to appeal.

About the Vineyard...
The Poplar Vineyard (aka Kent Ritchie Vineyard) is located just down the street from the Swan Estate
vineyard in the northern Russian River Valley. It was planted in 1974. The vineyard is planted to an
unknown clone of Pinot Noir - possibly the Wente selection(?).
The soils are a very light sandy loam, almost powdery after cultivation. Throughout the vineyard there
are volcanic outcroppings where ash is at the surface. This suggests underlying volcanic ash at varying
depths throughtout the vineyard. The drainage is excellent and the vigor moderate. The vines are
deep rooted and tend to do very well with minimal irrigation.
About the Vintage...
The 2000 vintage had none of the extremes of the previous two vintages (cold 1998, colder 1999 with
warm spike at the end of the season). It did have consistent moderate temperatures and a nice ripening
"stretch run". Maybe we can consider it back to normal! Compared to 1999, the wines seem more
layered with higher notes and deeper toned fruit. The volume just keeps building as they develop and
they are showing very forward fruit.
About the Wine...
The grapes were 100% destemmed into an open top fermenter and cold soaked for 4 days. We
punched down by hand 4 times per day at the beginning of fermentation. This was decreased to 2
times per day by the end of fermentation. We innoculated with RC 212 yeast (a Burgundian isolate)
and fermented warm, peaking about 96�F. The wine was pressed at dryness. The wine was aged
entirely in French barrels from the Francois Freres cooperage, 50% new. The wine was racked once
prior to bottling. Wine movements were made by pushing with inert gas all the way until bottling.
Wine analysis: Alc. 13.7 %, pH 3.64, ta 5.8 g/l. , r.s. 0.01 g/l. 275 cases produced.
Tasting Notes...
Whiffs of smoke and toast are followed by white pepper, spice, bing cherry and black cherry in the
aromas. The wine is broad and bright with rich sweet fruit and leather undertones on the palate.
Finishes long with a supple texture. A forward and hedonistic vintage!

I have heard people mention this on a couple of occasions.What exactly is this merchadise that is appearing outside some of the Reality concert venues? Is it official merchandise, or someone's impersonation of official merchandise?Is it worthwhile? Bowie in Australia 2004 | Join the Community
The merchandise outside the venues is as legal as a 12 year old.You know I hate to ask but, are `friends' electric? Mine's broke down and now I've no one to love
The outside the venue merchandise is not official, but the T-shirts are much better-looking, and cost only about a third of the price of the official ones.The official shirts basicakky are just re-hashes of the Reality artwork.KArt | Project Michelangelo | LiveJournal
In the UK the outside the gig shirts are usually always Ł5, some are better than others though, never any smaller than super giant sized."The sex is in the rhythm"
Perhaps you should sell some Get Bowie Down Under t-shirts outside of the show. Or toss one up on stage for DB inbetween a song.Gallery: Everything has changed.
Why does it matter if it is licenced, the unlicenced stuff is always better for anything basically , well apperal wise anyway.Did I tell you you're wonderful, and I miss you
They are cheap and they should be. I bought one in Frankfurt for 5 euros. It looked cool, but when I took it off it tore. Not at the seams, the fabric itself.It's not worth it unless you're really cold. http://www.BowieLive.com t-shirts would be so cool!
I understand they're flogging these very cheaply.when i was young the sky was blue, and everyone knew what to do,but now it's gone, the telly's here, mass media, the sewer too
The shirts sold outside the venues are cheap for a damn good reason. They are utter shit in quality and will fall appart sooner instead of later.Pitty the Bowie ppl couldn't take the hint form the bootleg shirts and get better styles and artwork :)Please check out my Bowie Bootleg Site...... http://www.geocities.com/bowieboyz/bowieondisc.html
I usually buy the T-Shirts outside the venues for the simple fact that I normally get them as souvenirs and not so much as real clothing. I do not run around in band T-Shirts very often these days so the cheapos do it for me. And yes, they are normally worse in quality, especially those that do not come in the basic colour of black or white. The prove is in the laundry if you do not wash the multicoloured ones seperately. So much for the house man's tips.On the matter of illegality I actually have a different view. I pretty much suspect that those outside cheapos are part of a well thought deal. In the old days you would get the odd guy hidden near the tube station offering you the illegal merchandise. Those folks were always in danger of getting caught or even getting badly thrashed i.e. if they happened to sell non-franchised Guns And Roses stuff. In stark contrast these days the dealers stand right outside the venues in large numbers and appear far from being precautious. Though it would be easy to round them up if anybody wanted to. But nobdy seems to. So probably there is something like a sub-license given out for that sort of merchandise or it is actually part of the whole thing itself in order to catch those cutomers you usually wouldn't. They first sell the stuff to those who are willing to spend the big money for the better quality and the wider range of goods. And the certainty of getting decent stuff. Before, during and after the show. So what do you do with those less merchandise committed fans that have decided against buying? Give them another opportunity and approach them outside the building with the cheap stuff. If they don't buy you haven't lost a penny because they are non-buyers anyway. But those who do (like myself) give you the extra money you otherwise wouldn't have got. Because without the cheapos we would have simply gone home without spending a bit.This does also explain why we only get the cheapos after the shows and not before as well, though a real illegal dealer obviously should also go for his business before the people have spent their money inside. The true management does want you to get to the expensive stuff first in order to make the bigger bucks. Obviously. And the less you know about the prices and products you may get outside the better. So it is not a competition between the "legal" inside merchandise and the "illegal" outside stuff - they are in fact complements. The inside offers you high quality and a broad range of goods for a high price. Plus the security to get decent fan stuff in the first place. The outside dealers instead offer the cheapos for those who otherwise would not buy a thing anyway. And those people (like myself) seem to outnumber those who would have bought expensive stuff if there wasn't a far cheaper alternative. Inside, outside - two different channels for two different kinds of customers. And I want to believeIn the madness that calls 'now'

A supporter of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, the prime ministerial candidate for BJP, waves a party flag while shouting slogans during a rally addressed by Modi in Bhubaneswar yesterday.
New Delhi/Washington: US Ambassador to India Nancy Powell will meet Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi this week, marking a change in stance since the US denied the Bharatiya Janata Party leader a visa in 2005 over the 2002 Gujarat riots.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said the US embassy had requested for the meeting "quite some time ago" with Modi.
Addressing a briefing, Akbaruddin said the US ambassador's request to meet Modi "has been fixed for this week".
"It is normal for foreign diplomats and ambassadors of different countries to make a request to the ministry of external affairs to facilitate meetings with constitutionally elected functionaries of states, and quite some time ago they asked the MEA... we did facilitate and did communicate that they could proceed with the meeting with the Gujarat chief minister, and it is a normal courtesy we extend to foreign heads of missions," he said.
The meeting is likely to take place in Gujarat tomorrow. "We can confirm the appointment (between Modi and Powell)," a State Department spokesperson said in Washington in response to reports that Powell made the request to meet Modi.
"This is part of our concerted outreach to senior political and business leaders which began in November to highlight the US-India relationship," the spokesperson said, without commenting on the possible date of the meeting, possibly in Ahmedabad.
The US revoked Modi's visa in 2005 under a law barring entry of foreign officials seen as responsible for "severe violations of religious freedom". He has not applied for a US visa since then.
Since Modi's emergence as a national leader, the US business lobby has reached out to him. Three Republican lawmakers accompanied a US business delegation that met him in Ahmedabad last year. A senior US diplomat also attended that meeting.
But with the US and Indian rights and religious groups pushing hard against a visa for Modi, Washington has stuck to its stand that there has been no change in its visa policy for the BJP leader. However, the State Department has of late changed its formulation, saying Modi was "welcome to apply for a visa and await a review like any other applicant".
Meanwhile, the White House parried questions about a visa for Modi. "I would refer questions about visas to the State Department," White House spokesman Jay Carney said when asked whether President Barack Obama had been briefed about the denial of a US visa to Modi.
The State Department had revoked his visa in 2005 over the sectarian riots in Gujarat, in which over 1,000 people, mainly Muslims, were killed. Among Western envoys who have met Modi are German Ambassador Michael Steiner and British High Commissioner James Bevan. The European Union was the first to end the boycott of Modi.
External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid told reporters: "It is up to the US to decide. As far as we are concerned, there is a red line beyond which diplomats can't go." Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia described this as a routine meeting. "Diplomats keep holding such meetings." IANS

FWIW let me just put the vote in there that to me, personally, there
is a lot of appeal. For recovery, I don't find minimalistic /:s or
fixit CD:s very useful anyway (in fact I don't think I have ever fixed
a system that way; if there is some trouble that prevents booting, I
tend to end up booting a separate fully installed system from another
drive or similar to have full flexibility).
If you're using ZFS because you want to avoid certain failure
conditions (such as "oh, there was a bad block during reconstruction
and my mirror got blown away even though it was a 4-way mirror"), it
is nice to have that applied to your *entire* system instead of having
a small root partition or boot partition that is somehow
exempted. Especially since these are the ones you really need to boot
the system.
I appreciate that supporting direct booting off of ZFS is not easy to
implement, and this is not any kind of complaint. I just want to
respond to the claim that there is no appeal to having it supported. I
doubt I am alone in thinking it would be great to boot natively off

(Port Angeles) Two candidates running for Olympic Medical Center commissioner, incumbent Jean Hordyk and challenger Heather Jeffers, addressed the Port Angeles Business Association this week.
Incumbent Jean Hordyk she has plenty of experience as a commissioner for 18 years.
Challenger Heather Jeffers is the Administrator of Avamere Olympic Rehabilitation in Sequim, a 125-bed facility.
She has 15 years experience of working in hospitals as a discharge planner and in social work.
Candidates spoke about the effect of the Affordable Care Act on Olympic Medical Center.
Hordyk thinks it's a good thing, in that more people can be insured.
Jeffers says the hospital will receive more overall reimbursement for the care that is provided and will reduce uncompensated care.
Both candidates agreed that the competition among hospitals for services and doctors is heating up, and Olympic Medical Center faces a challenge in hiring and keeping top-quality personnel.

UK set for 'dismal growth' as Item Club predicts 0.4% rate
Bank of England has done the right thing, but UK businesses are too risk-averse says report
THE BRITISH economy is set to face "dismal growth" for the rest of 2012 because big business is stockpiling cash, a report by independent forecaster the Ernst and Young Item Club has found.
The Item Club report, released today, predicts a 0.4 per cent growth for this year rising to 1.5 per cent in 2013 – only half the recent projection of 0.8 per cent rising to 2 per cent in 2013 given by the government's independent Office for Budget Responsibility.
The report says a lack of big business investment in Britain as the key reason the economy is set to stall.
"Business investment has picked up nicely in the US, but UK companies remain extremely risk-averse, which is sapping strength from the economy," said Professor Spencer, chief economic adviser to the Item Club.
The report praises the Bank of England's monetary policy over its increased measures for quantitative easing, which the Item Club found had "boosted" confidence in the economy. But, as the BBC reports, businesses have not been taking advantage of these measures. By continuing to "stockpile cash on their balance sheets at an accelerating pace" they are denying the economy the investment it needs to fuel growth.
"Until these companies stop stashing the cash and start increasing levels of investment and dividends, the economy will remain on the critical list," said Prof Spencer.
The report outlined a further future blow to the economy, predicting rising unemployment as government austerity measures continue to bite. It estimated that 9.3 per cent of the population - three million people - will be out of work by mid-2013 before the figure starts to contract. The estimate marks a leap from 8.4 per cent in current levels of joblessness.
The only solace the report offered was that British exports were performing well after rising in volume by 5.1 per cent in 2011.

Making a difference
"The Best and the Brightest" is an annual forum that showcases the depth and variety of research done by IVth Honours students in Government and International Relations. In 2010 it was held in the Parliament House theatre on Macquarie Street. There were five presenters and an audience of more than 100 alumni and friends.
The presentations were followed by a lively Q&A session, then refreshments were served, and in that informal atmosphere discussions continued.
The forum offers the opportunity for alumni to hear and meet some of the year's outstanding graduating students, while the students value the opportunity to explain their work and to meet alumni.
2010's presenters were (left to right in the photo):
Pat Bateman, whose thesis, "Explaining Variation in the Role of the Membership in Candidate Selection: A Comparative Study of Political Parties in New South Wales", is a study of membership behaviour in four New South Wales political parties. It's a valuable study at a time when the public at large is both disengaged from the political process and disenchanted with political parties.
May Samali, whose thesis, "Venue Shopping, Issue framing, and the United Nations Systems", examines the factors that determine NGOs' selection of strategies in pursuit of agenda and policy change. May applied it to the Baha'i International Community's campaign to end the persecution of Baha'is in Iran.
Tarsha Gavin, whose thesis, "Participatory Governance and the Policy-making Process A study of community engagement in the Minto Public Housing Estate Renewal Project" is an in-depth study of the complex dynamics and trajectory of community engagement within the Minto Project in NSW.
Alice Zheng, whose thesis, "Narrating the nation: the making of ethnic minorities in China's northwest", seeks to illuminate the Chinese state's interpretation of civil unrest in Xinjiang province as Uyghur ethno-nationalist separatism that threatens the stability and unity of China. This view is produced by the Chinese state in writing the Chinese nation, drawing upon the materials of imperial Chinese history, which is predominantly the history of the Han Chinese, while ethnic minorities are "non-Chinese".
Patrick Hurley, whose thesis, "Making Ideas Matter: The Think Tank Phenomenon in Australia", examines the proliferation of independent public policy research institutes, commonly known as think tanks, over the past three decades. In addition to the increases in their numbers, budgets, staff and the range of activities in which they are involved, think tanks are now widely regarded as having a significant influence on the policymaking process. Nevertheless, they remain a vaguely understood area within political science.
The forum is organised by the External Advisory Committee of the Department of Government and International Relations. The next is scheduled for 3 May 2011, in the same venue. For more information contact Emeritus Professor Michael Jackson

Kevin Durant Becomes First Player to Use "Derrick Rose" Rule
Derrick Rose just made Kevin Durant a "richer" man.
After the long NBA lockout, which lasted over five months, one of the big wins for the players' side was the addition of a new rule called the "Derrick Rose rule." It allows young players still on their rookie contracts to outplay their contracts and earn 30 percent of their team's salary cap, as opposed to 25 percent. Rose will obviously have the rule apply to his contract, seeing as how it's named after him; but his contract extension won't kick in until next season.
According to RealGM, Kevin Durant will actually be the first player to use the "Derrick Rose" rule in his contract, when his new max contract begins this season. The new rule will allow Durant to make an extra $2,584,438 this season and about $14,860,519 over the course of his new contract extension. The new extension also means that the Thunder will now be over the salary cap.
To qualify for the "Derrick Rose" rule, players have to meet certain criteria. This includes either being named an All-Star starter for two years, making two All-NBA teams or being named the NBA MVP in your first four seasons. So far, only Rose and Durant qualify for the rule. However, certain young players have a chance to meet the criteria such as Russell Westbrook, who would only need to be named to an All-NBA team; or Blake Griffin, who still has two seasons to be named an All-Star starter.

Baton Rouge murder rates declined by more than 20 percent in 2013, and LSU researchers have been intimately involved in contributing to this reduction. In an unparalleled partnership with a large group of municipal and non-profit agencies, LSU researchers provide law enforcement officers and other officials with research that directly aids the Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination, or BRAVE, program's effectiveness. Since BRAVE's implementation in June 2012, the city's most troubled areas – the 70805 and 70802 zip codes – has seen a 20 percent overall decrease in murder rates.
BRAVE was created to reduce and eliminate violent crime committed by juveniles, ages 14-17, in small communities within Baton Rouge. The program focuses on the area within the 70805 zip code, which alone compromises 13.5 percent of the Baton Rouge population and is accountable for 30 percent of the city's homicides. In an effort to lower this rate, LSU researchers have been assisting law enforcement by providing research helping them to:
1) Identify primary offenders and their affiliation with specific groups and gangs:
"Research shows that people within two handshakes (or two degrees of separation) of a murder victim are 900 times more likely to be involved in a future murder."
– Tracey Rizzuto, associate professor of Human Resource & Leadership Development
Rizzuto is an organizational psychologist who serves as the social network analyst for BRAVE. Social network analysis maps social relations, arrest records and other patterns of criminal behavior to determine and visualize the web of connectivity among criminal suspects and victims and uncover key players who are at highest risk for committing violent acts. This allows law enforcement to target those at highest risk for committing serious crimes, using their limited resources more efficiently.
2) Analyze geographic patterns of violent crime committed by these offenders through GIS mapping:
"Place is rapidly increasing in significance for crime research. At LSU, we value organic approaches to our GIS research which highlights unique environments within Baton Rouge. For us, Baton Rouge is not simply a place, but it is our home. Through this lens, we are motivated to produce research which assists our law enforcement community and contributes to improving the lives of all citizens who call Baton Rouge home."
-Fahui Wang, chair of the department of Geography & Anthropology
-Shaun Williams, Ph.D. student in the department of Geography & Anthropology
Wang and Williams serve as GIS analysts and researchers for BRAVE. They customized a GIS environment exclusively for East Baton Rouge Parish to leverage an extensive set of spatial data to monitor, track and investigate locations of crime hotspots and patterns within parish neighborhoods. This allows law enforcement to geographically concentrate their resources in the highest crime areas, instead of spreading them out over large geographic areas, many of which have very little or no violent crime.
3) Tracking offenders over time and space to allow law enforcement to engage in smart policing:
"Violent offenders operate in patterns that not only allow us to predict their next offense, but also where it will take place. Understanding these patterns allows law enforcement officials to be more proactive in their approach."
-Ed Shihadeh, chair, Department of Sociology
"I am pleased to say that when using a 30-day running average, every single day in 2013 was less violent than each day in 2012."
-Anthony Reed, Ph.D. student, Department of Sociology
Shihadeh is a criminologist and mathematical demographer who analyzes individual patterns of criminal offenders, and tracks crime rates over time and geographically. He and his student, Anthony Reed, have developed a complex index that identifies the most violent offenders calibrated by the geographic and temporal patterns of their crimes, as well as the nature of their social networks to provide a 'hot list' to law enforcement of the most dangerous offenders and where they are most likely to offend geographically.
Using the data from the police department and sheriff's office, Shihadeh and Reed develop a list of the most dangerous areas in town, down to the neighborhood and street level. They also keep track of police districts and time of day offending to optimize police resources in terms of deployment, keep track of gang crimes and areas where each gang primarily offends, and help identify some of the most active offenders in Baton Rouge. Lastly, they keep a running tally of arrests, victimization and types of crime to compare to 2012.
4) Evaluate the outcomes of individual offender intervention and overall impact of BRAVE on the community:
"You earn a community's trust and cooperation through demonstrating your commitment to helping them. With BRAVE, we constantly work to show our impact on the everyday lives of people in these communities."
-Juan Barthelemy, assistant professor of social work
Barthelemy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who serves as an evaluator for the BRAVE project. He is also responsible for working with the community to determine the perception of the impact of the BRAVE project. This information is collected through surveys and focus groups with residents in the target population. This information is useful for understanding relations between law enforcement and the target population.
"The outcome I am most pleased about (other than the reduction in violent crime) is the partnership that has developed between the City (Mayor's office), the District Attorney, the Police Chief and the Sheriff," said Cecile Guin, BRAVE grant leader and director of LSU's Office of Social Service Research and Development. "Without this partnership and the leadership of the public officials, we would not be where we are today. Without dedicated cooperation among the public officials, this would not work."
Guin is the principal investigator of BRAVE grants. She and her team serve as grant writers and proposal directors for the program. The group includes Mary Ellen Brown, graduate assistant in the LSU School of Social Work; Carson Garand, LSU Child & Family Studies undergraduate intern; Judith Rhodes, assistant professor-research, School of Social Work; Sam Robinson, research associate, SSW, a Ph.D. in political science from LSU; and Jada Smith, BRAVE project coordinator. Another key LSU player is criminologist, professor of sociology and Senior Associate Vice Chancellor of Research & Economic Development Matthew Lee, who uses his expertise as a criminologist to advise on program implementation, serves as one of the liaisons to the municipal agencies, and who serves as one of the media spokesperson's for the project.
BRAVE, and the research associated with it, has a real opportunity to impact communities through expansion. In August 2013, the program received a $1 million grant from the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation group. The goals of the grant are to (1) improve public health and safety through the reduction of crime and violence; (2) to deter future crime by addressing the social drivers of crime; and (3) to build a partnership that would support complete neighborhood revitalization.
In September of 2013, BRAVE and LSU officials received a $1.5 million grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to extend BRAVE to zip code 70802. And in November 2013, they received a neighborhood revitalization project grant from the Department of Housing & Urban Development for $500,000.
The team hasn't slowed down from their success, though. In fact, they are writing many more grant submissions with the goal of truly changing the environment of these troubled areas.
"The more success we have brings down more federal grants to support the good work our entire BRAVE family is involved in," said Guin. "These grants represent real change for neighborhoods in need of relief."

CONCORD -- Scott Achelis taxis his home built RV6-A, two-seater airplane up to the clubhouse at Buchanan Field Airport, where parents eagerly await the return of their children who have just gotten a taste of flight.
With a look of exhilaration, Jaime Finn, 11, of Pleasant Hill, steps out of Achelis' aircraft. The student at Eagle Peak Montessori has wanted to be a pilot since she was 5. Today's experience has only reinforced her pursuit.
"It was scary at first," she says, noting the thrill of getting to steer the plane as it approached the Golden Gate Bridge.
"It's not a common experience to get to fly in a machine, 3,000 feet off of the ground," Achelis says. "The idea is to build a level of comfort and confidence in the kids."
Jaime is one of many participants in the Kids Fly Free program, hosted by the Concord chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association.
She is now a Young Eagle, with each flight recorded in her log book and the opportunity to take the written component for her pilot's license through a complimentary online ground school.
On this particular Saturday morning, Harvard Holmes straps three eager passengers in his home built Lancair IV after taking them on an age-appropriate inspection tour of the plane, from the tires, elevator and ailerons -- turning controls -- to the instrument panel, while a repetitive broadcast from the control tower announces flight conditions.
The Berkeley resident has introduced an estimated 250 young people to the magic of flight, something he got to experience as a boy growing up in Santa Monica, playing on a Piper Cub fuselage in his yard, and flying with his dad in the early summer mornings.
Holmes recalls being given a navigational map and the excitement of being able to operate the controls.
"We need to create that opportunity for these kids," he says.
Growing up around her grandpa, Pleasant Hill resident Rich Spatz, 8-year-old Shayla Valenzuela has relished watching the planes take off and land.
Last month was the first time the Pleasant Hill girl took flight.
"At first your stomach hurts a little, but then I was fine," she says of the ascent and the momentary feeling of weightlessness during descent. "I did turns ... We saw where the Giants play."
Kids Fly Free, under the auspices of the Young Eagles, has far exceeded its initial target of flying one million children before the 100th anniversary of the famous Wright Brothers flight in 1903.
The volunteer program is a means to introduce youth to the awe of aircraft that once -- and still remains at certain rural airports -- happened more impromptu, with children riding their bikes up to a hangar and pestering the pilot until he agrees to take them for a flight, notes Achelis, a general contractor who lives in Walnut Creek.
Private pilots with Kids Fly Free hope their efforts inspire that certain spark, prompting some of the younger generation to follow suit.
"It's the first step," adds Montclair resident Bill Reining, president of the Concord EAA chapter. "The pilot community is aging. There are way to many with gray hair. It needs young blood."
Reining, who built his fair share of balsa wood airplanes as a boy, piloted multi-engine aircraft in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. His career was as an electrical engineer with Lockheed Aircraft.
He and his cohorts are delighted with the response from their young air travelers.
Reining recalls piloting an autistic boy, "overcome with excitement ... and completely uninhibited in his enthusiasm."
"The younger ones just want an exciting ride," says Moraga resident Bob Belshe, who has flown with roughly 100 Young Eagles in his day, now helping out as part of the ground crew. "The older ones often show an interest and a skill."
And for those young aspiring aviators, each year the local chapter sends two on a full ride to the summer weeklong AirVenture camp in Oshkosh, Wis.
Albany High School junior Devo Traveler Goldschmidt -- a middle name inspired by her being born on the road -- was selected to attend last year.
Prior to that, Devo had flown on her aunt and uncle's Cessna 180, with "no thoughts of becoming a pilot."
"That all changed," she says after the experience with Kids Fly Free, marking the first time she took hold of the stick and steered Achelis' plane.
"It was scary, but it was awesome," she says. "It changes your perspective from normal day to day, to experiencing it from the sky."
What: Free airplane rides for kids 8-17 through the Young Eagles program
When: 9 a.m. the third Saturday of the month through September
Where: Clubhouse at Buchanan Field, 200 Sally Ride Drive, Concord

This is a new old stock late Florida Alto that I recently obtained from the stock of a closed music store. It is the only new Florida mouthpiece I have ever seen or heard of. The tip opening measures 0.060". It has USA on the shank and the tip opening in the large font, so some would say it is early babbitt. However, it has a longer body and baffle than the other early babbitt altos I am selling.
Address on the box reads:
21 SO. WEST 5th STREET, POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA.

To conclude, after two dozen shows over the years, I can't honestly say any show was better than any other, or the "best show." They're all great.
The only disappointment of this show: the absolute dump of a venue (astro turf lawn where over half of the available spots to stand has a restricted view? shithole.) and the rude and inconsiderate venue staff. It was the worst venue in one of the most beautiful places for a venue I've ever seen. The backdrop of the riverbank is picturesque. However, I think they need to tear down this rickety old wooden dump and build a new one.

Any one take micronor mini pill?
Hello, i really need help, my Dr just advised me to come off of the combination pill i was taking (microgynon30) becuase i had put on weight whilst on it. He gave me Micronor but i am really scared about taking it, i have read horrible reviews on it, is it likely to give me acne ? I also hate the fact that you will nevere know when your period is, what other good contraception could i use if not this or does anyone take it ? Many thanks
You can buy micronor here without a prior prescription if you do their online consultation Validpharmacy.com
What I have to say is looks lengthy but I hope you can find patience to read it.
I have just s started taking micronor. And recently started experiencing breakthrough bleeding. At first I was accepting and understanding that changes will occur because I have introduced different levels of hormones into my body system.
When the bleeding didnt stop for almost 4 weeks I became a bit worried. So I turned to online forums to see how other women were reacting to this pill. (Of course you cant totally credit what information is floating through the internet.) But every review I was reading was so negative and honestly scary. Other than breakthrough bleeding(which seems like an obvious side effect because progestin makes the walls of your cervix swell) I am doing well, so far, no mood swings or bloating/ weight gain.
Reading those reviews offered ENOUGH STRESS to probably induce all those symptoms I was reading about. So, I want to offer my experience and my theory on this matter.
Taking contraceptive pills should be taken as serious as any other medication. It isnt just a little pill to be taken in step with your current lifestyle. Hormone manipulation is serious business and can have detrimental side effects. Therefore, I THINK, while taking the pill you SHOULD TRY taking other extra steps to help balance the changes in your body (not as a cure-all!).
I do not want to get pregnant and I do not want to be celibate, as bad as it is, I guess this is all medicine has to offer for nowunless there is something I really dont know about. Medicine always has its side effects, be it from pills or surgery.. science and medicine arent magic. THIS IS JUST MY THEORY, I AM NOT A MEDICAL PHYSISIAN AT ALL!
I have started taking extra vitamins to help amp up my entire system. For example, I am worried about the acne side effect of this pill, so I am taking certain vitamins that promote healthy skin, hair and nail. Also, I am worried about mood swings i.e. mental functions, so I have found a vitamin high in Folic acid, iron, zinc. I did some research to find out with kind of vitamins help support different systems in my body.
Like I said.. THESE ARE JUST MY THEORIES, I AM NOT A MEDICAL PHYSISIAN AT ALL! And you should check with your own Physician before taking any of these vitamins I have listed.
You need to be aware of your body, how it works, and what deficiencies, if any, that you, might have.
A side note: Maybe something worth trying.. Regarding Mood swings: if you feel yourself tending toward more negative thoughts, try not to allow yourself to continue that train of thought. Stop and switch to more pleasant thoughts or ideas you might have. Mood levels rise and fall and generally most people experience this. Therefore, accept it as normal, dont fight it or get stuck on wondering why you feel down. Dont give up! Try to bring yourself up! THIS IS JUST MY THEORY, I AM NOT A MEDICAL/ PSYCOLOGICAL PHYSISIAN AT ALL!
I just wanted to share my experience and thoughts on this matter and support my fellow women.
Absolutely the worst experience with a pill I have ever had. I've been on them for 5 months (take them same time every day). I have a period every other week. Just finished one last Sunday, it's Sunday again and guess what's back? Not just spotting either, I have a full blown period every other week. I can't take estrogen so that's why I am on these. I was told that spotting could happen for the first few months so be patient, only seems to be getting worse instead of better. They do not help with cramping what so ever and I find that I am hungry all the time. I'm getting an IUD (Mirena) put in in two weeks and it can't come fast enough. Would never recommend this.
I started Micronor about 6 months ago due to my history with headaches on combo pills. First couple of months seemed okay, even though I experienced a lot of cramping during period, but after that it was all down hill. Didn't realize it was the pill until i did a lot of research. I've had the worst stomach issues the past 4-5 months, including indigestion, nausea, bloating, etc. This pill has also diminished my sex drive. Also, I've experienced extreme fatigue, especially in the morning and afternoon and have trouble getting to sleep at night. I'm a very healthy active person and none of these symptoms are normal for me. I decided to stop taking this pill 2 weeks into my 6th pack and I'm already beginning to feel better.
I have been suffering from chronic hormonal migraines for about two years, and every other pill I tried made them worse but also made me feel completely crazy and depressed and fatigued beyond belief--I couldn't exercise for a minute without getting winded and I'm usually very physically fit and active. I'm happy to report that since having started Micronor a month ago, I haven't had a single migraine and the debilitating cramps I suffered from are now non-existent and I actually have more energy and a higher sex drive than before.
For the first month I thought I'd found a miracle pill, but now I'm not so sure. Migraines are still absent, which is a big relief, and having no cramps is great. But I have had breakthrough bleeding on and off for weeks. Not sexy.
I have gained a few pounds and my breasts are swollen and really sore, and I'm bloated and sometimes get really gassy, whereas before I never had that problem at all.
I'm also suddenly noticing the depression sinking in. In addition, for the last month, I have also been extremely short-tempered and snap easily, whereas I'm normally very easygoing, loving, patient and peaceful.
Skin is also clear, though, so I think everyone's hormone levels are different and for me, this pill has caused no problems in that area.
I'm also a little bit concerned about the pregnancy issue, though--I take the pill at exactly the same time every day and I'm 40 years old and we do use the withdrawal method also, but the stories of people getting pregnant on this pill do make me nervous. I'll stay on it only because it's the only thing that's stopped my migraines but only if the breakthrough bleeding eases up over time.
This post and most of its comments are older but in case someone comes here looking for answers like I did. Give the mini pill a try I cannot take combo pills because I get sick I am estrogen excess so the progestin only pill helps balance my hormones. People complain of nausea, I take the pill at night before bed so I sleep of any side effects. The only side effect I've noticed is extreme breast tenderness and soreness even my nipples are sore. But I've also read some women have had increased breath growth so that's truthfully a small price to pay. I set an alarm on my phone every night to take it, and my sex drive has improved greatly over when I had my paragard( never ever get this IUD, story for another time.) Overall I really am happy with the mini pill
I have been on micronor for just over two weeks after bleeding loads on cerazette. Bleeding has stopped which is great but I have started feeling very dizzy and sick and actually vomitted this morning. Read the side effects and there is it in black and white. Think Im going to bite the pillow and get the injection! Think that would be a better pain in the arse!
I'm thinking of coming off this one! Was on Yasmin for 2 years but had to change due to terrible migraines Since being on micronor no headaches but awful sickness. Constant nausea every morning without fail since taking the first pill. My skin has also exploded I was very lucky and never had an acne problem now my skins awful as soon as one spot goes another appears I'm also hating not knowing when a period is going to appear my first month was fine period arrived like clockwork and stayed for 2 weeks much longer than I usually have and since then havent had another. Combined with the nausea its very worrying. Not a pill I'd recommend.
Due to suffering from migraines, I had to come off Microgynon which I'd been on for years and had always agreed with me.
I was put on Cerazette and stayed on that for about a year, but stopped taking it as I found my mood swings were terrible and that it made my skin awful.
He moved me over to Micronor and straight away, I was reluctant. I always research the medication that the doctor is going to give me and what I read about it horrified me. Regardless, the doctor had prescribed it to me, so I felt like
the doctor knows best.
For a month, I took it at the same time, every day without fail and noticed no symptoms at all. What a relief. Then, all of a sudden, my boobs started getting bigger and hurting, this being one of the symptoms I'd read about (I was already a big D so moving up to an E was not what I really wanted). Then I started urinating more frequently and become stupidly tired. On a whim, I took a pregnancy test, more to settle any doubt. The shock I had when 2 lines came up!!
Sadly, I miscarried at 9 weeks about 3 weeks ago and am now going through the recovery of it all.
Went back to the doctor who has now put me back on Cerazette. Fingers crossed I don't get the same symptoms, but I feel like being a bit spotty and moody is a far better outcome than getting pregnant again!! I would rather steer clear of the mini-pill, but the thought of having the injection or the implant scare me!
So warning to all taking Micronor, pregnancy does happen! I ignored the stories about it and really wish I hadn't!
I have been on Micronor mini pill for a year. It has not affected my periods like some women. It has increases my bra size by two cup sizes! I am now a 32F, which is great, as I've always wanted bigger boobs and men love it...
However, it has given me terrible acne, which has gradually got worse in the time I've been taking Micronor.
I am 34 and have never had spots before, even as a teenager. This pill has ruined my skin! It started as big spots on my chin and round my mouth - as soon as one went away, new ones sprouted in their place - but now there are smaller spots on my cheeks and forehead and the ones by my mouth are huge painful boils. It's disgusting and has ruined my self-confidence. I can cover them with make-up but it means having to really trowel it on and keep reapplying the make-up. I hate being plastered with make-up and
sometimes the spots still show through.
I've been reluctant to come off this pill because I don't want to lose my big boobs! However, the state of my skin is so bad I've decided to come off this pill for a while to see if it clears up. I haven't had a regular boyfriend in the time I've been on this pill but I'm dating and have had several flings. I am looking for a long-term relationship but the spots now make me feel so self-
conscious that I am losing my confidence with dating and meeting new men. If my skin clears up after a while I will then see if I can get a different pill from the GP, and if I meet a man in the meantime we'll just have to use condoms.
I don't know why my GP put me on the mini-pill, perhaps my age? Previous to this pill I was trying for a baby for 3 years in my last relationship, so wasn't using any contraception, and before that I was on Logynon ED which is a combined pill that never gave me any problems. I'd prefer to just go back onto that one
but as I'm nearly 35 maybe the GP will say no? I don't smoke and am not overweight so I hope I can persuade them to put me back on Logynon. I want my clear complexion back!
I never usually go on forums and things but wanted to comment on your post. I am 22 and have been on micronor a few months never suffered with spots not even a pimple. Now I have massive break out after a bleeding patch of 13 days. Since I been on it and had no periods. Originally on cetrazette but after having a few spots I asked to try another mini pill. All in all I am sure the mini pill has caused all my problems with my skin. I am just anxious to know how long until my skin is ok again ? Proper upset me and made me really sad and made me really conscious and stopping my whole social life. Maybe I am vain! I just now understand how horrible it must he having bad skin. I pray my good skin returns and I will always appreciate it
My last comment is however that all girls are different so really the only thing we can do is trial and error and equally our bodies and hormones Change
For me the next step is visiting gynaecology!
Good luck to all ladies
Hormones and female system sucks
I tell my loving bf I want to come back as a man if there is another life ha ha !!
Final point is every one is different
I noticed a couple of replies mentioned hair loss with Micronor, which is why I'm searching the net today. Have been taking it for 2months, had dreadfully exagerrated emotions in 1st month which has mostly settled down now, but I still have an over-sensitive undercurrent that is definitely from this pill. I think that's manageable though, since I've run out of contraceptive choices. No weight gain, no acne, one false period, but then a normal one. Mostly all fine, except...
In last few weeks I've noticed my hair shedding more often than normal. That is, what for most of my life I've lost twice a week when I wash it, is now happening almost every day. I'm very worried I'll lose my hair!
Any women who've used it for longer and had some hair fall out - is this a passing adjustment or a scary reaction I should deal with. If you lost hair & got off micronor, did it grow back okay afterwards?? Doctors just don't know enough about side effects.
I've had other really bad issues with Micronor but it didn't clue in to me that this was causing my hair loss! I was wondering why in the last few months I was shedding twice as much.. ugh...
hi i was given miconor two years ago and i put on nearly 2 stone in a ver short while. my breasts felt like they were going to burst off my cgest it was horrible. i really wouldnt go on this pill. try the coil then your not putting hormones into your body xx
I started taking this on 14th october, 1st day of my period. By the 28th I had another period? in addition to this I could feel the pounds piling on & it took me a few days to realise it but I was very moody & sensitive to everything! I decided on the 30th to stop taking it & continued bleeding until the 4th of Nov. My mood picked up very quickly after stopping but the problem now is that i've had no period since. My partner & i have been using condoms mostly but i'm really worried that something could've sneaked in & i could be pregnant. I feel as if i'm about to have a period but it just aint here yet I don't think i'll take any other form of contraceptive that is hormone based.
I have been on Micronor for 4 years and just got off it around November 4th. It is now the 10th of December...I am a 44 year old women. Does anyone know if this is normal and how long it takes for normality to settle in after getting off this pill?
Time some of you girls made your partners take the lead in contraception?
I know it is an outrageous stance from a 58 year old male - but they must take more responsibility in sex. So many of these drugs are new and little is known about the long term outcome?
Hi im replying to your question.... i am on my second blister of this what i think is a pain of a pill !!! i have put on so much weight and havent changed my eating patters even tho im starving all the time!!! i think this is due to micronor, i am going to stop taking it as from now as im sick of being hungry all the time and starving myself due to being so scared of putting anymore weight on!!!
The only good pill i have ever been on is the combined pill but my age and smoking has made it not possible to go back on it,so im just going to use condoms i think from now on...
I originally took microgynon which i experienced terrible depression & hair loss on. Since i have been on and off micronor I have never experienced such problems. Never had a problem with weight or acne; my periods are quite regular and only last about 3 / 4 days. Contraceptive pills can strip your body of vital vitamins & minerals particulary zinc; zinc deficiency can cause acne, so maybe supplementing with a good vitamin & mineral supplement in combination with the pill may help if your worried about acne. In any case everyone is different and i guess you'll never know until you try.
Don't want to scare you, but i was taking micronor for a year or so, and i've just had to have an abortion because i got pregnant while on it. When i went for my scan they said micronor isnt good for women under 40 unless they are using other contraception too. Not knowing when your periods are going to come can be really scary, so i was alert for changes in my body and luckily guessed quite early. But it scares me that i could have carried on for another couple of months unaware.
Other than it's lack of effectiveness, it didnt cause many probs, tho my sex drive seemed to drop.

Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to force a move away from Real Madrid in the summer after waiting 11 months for them to give him a new deal, the Sun reports.
In a situation which holds similarities to that of when he left Manchester United, the news comes just as Sir Alex Ferguson expressed he would love Ronaldo back at Old Trafford, but that he couldn't see a way of it happening.
The 27-year-old Portugese star has scored an incredible 170 goals in 170 games for the Spanish champions, and he has a staggering £810million get out clause.
However come the summer, he will have two years left on his current deal meaning if he was to reject a new deal then Madrid would likely be forced to consider offers falling well short of their ideal price.
It has been suggested that Ronaldo has told former United team-mates of his desire to return and that Madrid officials have already discussed a transfer fee they would accept, which is said to be around £120million.
The frustrated forward has also always been keen to win the Ballon D'Or, something which he feels his current club could have done more towards helping him achieve. His former boss Ferguson recently expressed he feels "Ronaldo is as good as Messi", the kind of praise he thrives off and doesn't feel he gets at Madrid.
At the moment this is all speculation, but if things continue as they are it seems we could see another transfer saga involving Ronaldo in the summer, this time in reverse to the one we saw in 2009.
No wonder this chump will never win the Ballon D'or…..he runs away from the true competition…..he knows Messi is greater and he can't win….he doesn't deserve it
Yeah, he really wants to carry on playing for a team that doesn't give him the respect or credit he deserves. Would Messi ever be booed at the Nou Camp? Equally, would Ronaldo ever have been booed at Old Trafford? No. He wants a club and fans who appreciate him, and no one will love him more than Manchester United.
