LOS ANGELES — Lee Thompson Young, who began his acting career as the teenage star of the Disney Channel's "The Famous Jett Jackson" and was featured in the film "Friday Night Lights" and the series "Rizzoli & Isles," was found dead Monday, police said. He was 29.
There was no official cause of death, but Young's manager, Paul Baruch, said the actor "tragically took his own life."
"Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed. We ask that you please respect the privacy of his family and friends as this very difficult time," Baruch said in a statement.
Young's body was found at his North Hollywood home by police Monday morning after he failed to show up for work on TNT's crime drama "Rizzoli & Isles," police Officer Sally Madera said. The Los Angeles Fire Department was summoned and pronounced him dead at the scene, she said.
LAPD robbery-homicide detectives and the Los Angeles County coroner office were investigating because it is a high-profile death, she said. Madera had no details about the cause of death.
In the TNT series, Young played fledgling police Detective Barry Frost, who's computer savvy but squeamish. Earlier Monday, the channel announced it was renewing the series that stars Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander.
"We are beyond heartbroken at the loss of this sweet, gentle, good-hearted, intelligent man. ... Lee will be cherished and remembered by all who knew and loved him, both on- and offscreen, for his positive energy, infectious smile and soulful grace," TNT, studio Warner Bros. and series producer Janet Tamaro said in a joint statement.
They sent condolences to his mother and other family members.
According to a biography from TNT, Young was inspired to pursue acting when, at age, 10, he played Martin Luther King Jr. in a play in Young's hometown of Columbia, S.C.
In 1998, Young began starring in "The Famous Jett Jackson," playing a TV action hero who returns to his roots for a less high-profile life. The series ran until 2001.
Young followed it with roles in TV series, including "The Guardian," ''Scrubs" and "Smallville" and in the films "Akeelah and the Bee" and "The Hills Have Eyes II." Young joined "Rizzoli & Isles" when it debuted in 2010.
"I'm the youngest member of the cast, so I really take advantage of the wealth of knowledge that I find myself surrounded by," Young said in a 2011 interview with the website Rolling Out.
Young, a graduate of University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, was an as an avid photographer, traveler and student of martial arts, according to his biography.

Sunday, January 25, 2009. (AP) -- Pat Perez won the Bob Hope Classic for his first PGA Tour title, taking advantage of Steve Stricker's collapse and holding off John Merrick by three strokes Sunday in the wind-swept final round.
Perez finished at 33-under 327. Merrick, who began the day eight shots behind Stricker but moved in front briefly on the back nine, shot a 67.
Stricker, 33 under at the start of play after rounds of 61 and 62, had a 77 to tie for third with Mike Weir (67) at 28 under. Stricker had a triple bogey on No. 7 and a quadruple bogey on No. 10, hitting into the water on both holes.
Evans resident Vaughn Taylor shot a final round 76 to finish at -22.

The A's face a crucial decision in whether to re-sign left fielder Josh Willingham, a potential free agent who could be one of the more enticing outfielders available this winter.
Willingham, 32, leads the A's in homers (22) and RBIs (73). Though he's hitting just .249, he fills a void as the type of right-handed power hitter the team is perpetually searching for.
Acquired from the Washington Nationals in December for reliever Henry Rodriguez and outfielder Corey Brown, Willingham says he would like to return to Oakland.
His agent, Matt Sosnick, says Willingham seeks a two- to three-year contract and that the ball is in the A's court.
"I think his inclination would be to stay here, if it's something that could get done by the end of the season," Sosnick said. "If not, he's going to go out and really explore his options."
Therein lies the rub.
The A's have six potential free agents -- Willingham and fellow outfielders Coco Crisp and David DeJesus; designated hitter Hideki Matsui; first baseman/outfielder Conor Jackson; and starting pitcher Rich Harden.
Team officials have said they won't decide whether to re-sign anybody until after the season.
And though teams get a five-day window after the World Series to negotiate exclusively with their own free agents, the A's will have more difficulty signing Willingham if that window passes and other teams get a crack at him.
"The most informed decision we can make is after the season," A's assistant general manager David Forst said. "We certainly understand (the risk in waiting). He's going to be a sought-after player this offseason."
This winter's free-agent class is not deep in power-hitting outfielders, which benefits Willingham.
Among potential free-agent outfielders, as listed by mlbtraderumors.com, only the Cardinals' Lance Berkman entered Monday with more homers (28) than Willingham.
But the Giants' Carlos Beltran and the Twins' Michael Cuddyer are among other outfielders who will command interest. Both sport higher career batting averages than Willingham and are better defenders.
Sosnick said he believes Willingham -- who makes $6 million this season -- is worth a contract that exceeds the two-year, $13.5 million deal that the Royals recently gave outfielder Jeff Francoeur.
Francoeur, 27, is hitting .275 with 15 homers and 67 RBIs, but he also possesses one of the game's best throwing arms.
Given the A's lack of power in recent years, it's fair to ask: Can they afford not to bring Willingham back?
They entered Monday with the third-fewest home runs in the American League (81), and Willingham's 22 homers are the most by an A's right-handed batter since Frank Thomas swatted 39 in 2006.
Willingham, who lives in his native Alabama during the offseason, says he's adapted well to the Bay Area and playing for the A's.
"I'm comfortable here," he said. "I've developed good relationships."
He's also adjusted to the pitcher-friendly O.co Coliseum. Willingham is just four homers shy of the career-high 26 he hit with Florida in 2006. He has more homers at the Coliseum (12) this season than on the road (10).
But one major league scout pointed to Willingham's defense and his 113 strikeouts -- sixth-most in the A.L. entering Monday -- as warning signs.
"He was more mobile (in the past) than he's been this year," said the scout, who requested anonymity. "He was a better defensive player."
However, the same scout believes the A's best bet would be to re-sign Willingham.
"There's nobody at Triple-A that can do what Willingham is doing right now."
A strained left Achilles that he suffered in mid-June sidelined Willingham for 17 games, and injuries have limited him to fewer than 120 games twice in the past three seasons.

Barcelona have reportedly conceded defeat in trying to convince Thiago Alcantara to stay and shortly expect him to announce his intention to leave.
The 22-year-old has come on to the market this summer in light of seeing an appearance clause in his contract drop his buyout fee from €90m down to €18m.
Due to having not played a certain number of minutes in a percentage of games otherwise available for during last term, the midfielder has reportedly had his head turned by a €6m contract offer from Manchester United.
Barca have reportedly attempted to change the youngster's mind and to ask for his patience in trying to displace Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta from the starting XI, but, United's reported promise of first team football in the build-up to next year's World Cup, apparently has the player convinced.
Marca report today that it is a scenario that has the Catalan club now anticipating his departure and are ready to have the player communicate as such to them.
AS, meanwhile, are running the line that United want to close the transfer this week in time for the start of preseason training in England next Monday.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are both reportedly considering bids this summer to take Barcelona's Gerard Deulofeu on loan.
The young winger is seen as likely to leave the Camp Nou for the 2013-14 campaign to gain experience elsewhere, with the Catalans reportedly keen to send him to a team that can give him European football too.
According to reports in England, Premier League duo Liverpool and Tottenham are both looking at the 19-year-old, who is currently on international duty with Spain at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
Previously, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Valencia have all been linked with similar interest.
Kaka will reportedly only leave Real Madrid if they release him on a free transfer, due to his current cost to other clubs.
The Brazilian's future will reportedly be determined by newly-appointed Coach Carlo Ancelotti's final say, but it is seen that the former Ballon d'Or winner will be shipped out this summer, after struggling for form in recent seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, whilst there is understood to be interest from former side Milan, from a number of Brazilian sides and from the United States, where the player is believed also open to a move, Marca report that his wage demands will not shift.
Currently paid €10m a season on a deal running until June 2015, this salary combined with the 31-year-old's valuation by Madrid reportedly has him priced out of a transfer.
Subsequently it is alleged that Kaka's most likely route out of Madrid this summer is through a free transfer, should Los Blancos agree to that.
Barcelona are reportedly increasing their offer for Roma defender Marquinhos to cash plus Alexis Sanchez.
The Blaugrana have long been interested in the Brazilian centre-back, who is still only 19 years old.
According to Sky Sport Italia and El Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are stepping up the pressure on the Giallorossi.
Including Chilean international forward Alexis Sanchez as part of the move would tempt the Giallorossi into a sale.
However, Roma are said to have a €40m price-tag on Marquinhos, whereas Barcelona's evaluation is closer to €25m.
Atletico Madrid are reportedly prepared to offer players to Sevilla in part exchange for Alvaro Negredo this summer.
Negredo has communicated to Sevilla that he wants to leave, with it heavily speculated that whilst there is interest from Napoli and previously from the Premier League, his preferred destination is Atleti.
However, Sevilla's asking price of more than €20m is seen as beyond the capital club's limit and so Los Colchoneros are reportedly considering including players in any offer made.
Specifically, sending out new signing Leo Baptistao for a two-year loan to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan is apparently being considered, alongside other possibilities including Pizzi, Javier Manquillo or Saul Niguez.
Atletico are also in talks with Roma about signing Italian international striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo.
"There is a negotiation taking place," FIFA agent Diego Tavano told Radio Manà Manà Sport on Wednesday. "It will be worth around €18m.
"The attacker is well liked in Spain and he just needs to find the right emotional balance because he has incredible qualities."
Osvaldo, born in Argentina, is expected to be sold by the capital club given the doubts over his discipline.
The centre-forward, signed from Espanyol two years ago for an initial fee of €15m, has scored 27 goals in 55 League games since his arrival.
Osvaldo, however, has had his issues in the capital over the last 12 months.
He was also dropped by Italy boss Cesare Prandelli for the Confederations Cup after his actions following the Coppa Italia Final defeat to Lazio.
He insulted club Coach Aurelio Andreazzoli both on the field of play and via Twitter, while he also refused to pick up his runner-up medal post game.

Total Recall: Steve Buscemi's Best Movies
He hasn't always played the nicest characters, but both onscreen and off, Steve Buscemi has always come across as a pretty interesting person -- a gifted thespian, talented director, and former firefighter who helped clear rubble from the World Trade Center after 9/11, he's one ubiquitous character actor whose Hollywood success doesn't seem to have turned him into anything other than a regular guy from Brooklyn. Of course, in this weekend's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, he's anything but regular... which is why we decided we couldn't miss the opportunity to dedicate a list to some of Buscemi's best-reviewed roles.

The problem is that when some of his friends who were graduating complained about not getting a certificate, or any type of degree? My son had three months left and I made him come home knowing it was a scam.
I refuse to repay for this school! I have a parent loan which is in default because Iam not working. My son has a loan also. Iam not sure how to file a complaint with the federal goverment. I feel sorry for all the people who get caught up in this scam, I don't know what to do?
I spent over two thousand dollars on getting my son to Florida and back home a few times for the holidays before I found out he wasn't getting a legit education, I hope someone can help with this financial burden and the loss of his education.
Please stop this so people won't be in this much debt!!

Initiatives by policy-makers, educationists and school authorities, amongst others, have not yielded the desired changes in learner behaviour. This dissertation focuses on adolescent delinquency amongst learners in Gauteng secondary schools, with the precise aim of making recommendations to address the problem. An extensive literature review was conducted. An interpretive-constructivist paradigm with a mainly qualitative design was followed. A questionnaire and focus group interviews were administered to teachers. The findings confirmed the researcher's view that juvenile delinquency in schools is escalating and warrants attention and intervention from all stakeholders. The main conclusion drawn from this research was that current policies and interventions on learner behaviour had no impact because policy-makers lacked the necessary will to ensure that interventions were implemented, reviewed and monitored. This study argues for a multi-pronged approach to address the problem. The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) should review its policies and approach to the problem, and support teachers to ensure that teaching and learning remain the main priority of schooling. Future research could explore the role of social ills in the South African context on the development of learners' antisocial behaviour. 2015-11-01T00:00:00Z The role of family literacy programmes to support emergent literacy in young learners http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20218 The role of family literacy programmes to support emergent literacy in young learners Le Roux, Sarlina Gertruida Collaboration between the parents and the school has a powerful influence on a child's literacy development. However, home-school partnerships to support young learners' emergent literacy development are weak in South Africa. Research into family literacy in South Africa is particularly important due to many socio-economic factors impacting negatively on family life and on children's literacy development. The South African education system lacks a dedicated policy for the promotion of family literacy. Against this background the present study investigated the role of family literacy programmes in supporting emergent literacy among young children. A literature study on family literacy and family-school-community partnerships to support literacy framed an empirical inquiry following an interpretivist approach, using an action research design and qualitative techniques of data collection. The Wordworks Home-School Partnerships programme was selected for implementation and the programme was modified through the design and inclusion of a children's component. A multicultural independent primary school situated in Pretoria, South Africa was selected through a combination of purposeful and convenience sampling. The school principal, four Foundation Phase teachers and seven families including nine children participated in the study. Criteria for family inclusion were that the participating families should have at least one child enrolled in Grade R and at least one parent should agree to attend the full six-week duration of the modified Wordworks School-Family Partnerships programme. Data was gathered during parallel sessions from parents, children and teacher-facilitators through multiple techniques: observation, interviews, feedback sessions, artefacts and journals. Data was analysed according to qualitative principles and the findings were presented in a narrative format substantiated by verbatim quotations. Key findings indicated a greater sense of community among the families and the teachers, improved quality of parent-child interactions, parents' improved knowledge of emergent literacy skills and improved confidence in supporting their children with early literacy development. The medium term impact of the programme includes benefits for the whole school, the teaching staff, parent body and children. Based on the findings of the literature study and the implementation of the family literacy programme through action research, recommendations were made to improve school-family partnerships with a view to supporting emergent literacy development among young learners. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z The social effects of the exposure to domestic violence during childhood : a socio-educational perspective http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20068 The social effects of the exposure to domestic violence during childhood : a socio-educational perspective Alho, Chantelle Manuela Despite the growing recognition of the prevalence of domestic violence worldwide, there is an increasing number of women reporting abuse, and there are those who have died at the hands of their abusers. Many of these domestic violence situations involve children who grow up carrying the physical and/or emotional scars of abuse into adulthood, which also has negative implications for their social well-being. This study adopts a qualitative approach to analysing emerging themes relating to the experiences of eight adult participants (four men and four women) who have lived in domestically violent homes during their childhood. The study deals with definitions of abuse, the social, physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioural and psychological effects of abuse and identifies the social consequences of growing up in a violent home. With reference to the research interviews, it is the researcher's finding that if there is violence in the home, children's socialisation will be impaired. The results of the study support the hypothesis that the socialisation of adults and their ability to form healthy relationships are hindered by being exposed to domestic violence during childhood. In terms of the goals of intervention, the basic principle is that children need to be provided with a safe environment, appropriate discipline and a secure relationship with an attentive caregiver. The ultimate goal of intervention is to prevent further harm and promote recovery. Socio-educational goals include being taught to communicate and settle differences without the use of violence, to promote the development of well-adjusted social beings. 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z The contribution and influence of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the development of post-secondary education in South Nyanza, 1971-2000 http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20035 The contribution and influence of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the development of post-secondary education in South Nyanza, 1971-2000 Maangi, Eric Nyankanga This study discusses the contribution and influence of the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church to the development of post- secondary education in South Nyanza, Kenya. This has been done by focusing on the establishment and development of Kamagambo and Nyanchwa Adventist colleges whose history from 1971 to 2000 has been documented. This is a historical study which has utilized both the primary and secondary source of data. For better and clear insights into this topic, the study starts by discussing the coming of Christian missionaries to Africa. The missionaries who came to Africa introduced western education. The origin of the SDA church to Africa has also been documented. The SDA church was formed as a result of the Christian evangelical revivals in Europe. This called for the Christians to base their faith on the Bible. As people read various prophecies in the bible, they thought that what they read was to be fulfilled in their lifetime. From 1830s to 1840s preachers and lay people from widely different denominations United States of America around William Miller (1782-1849). This led to the establishment of the SDA Church in 1844. The study focuses on the coming of the SDA Missionaries to South-Nyanza. The efforts of the SDA Missionaries to introduce Western education in the said area, an endeavor which started at Gendia in 1906 has been discussed. From Gendia they established Wire mission and Kenyadoto mission in 1909. In 1912 Kamagambo and Nyanchwa, the subject of this study became mission and educational centres. The SDA mission, as was the case with other missionaries who evangelized South Nyanza, took the education of Africans as one of the most important goals for the process of African evangelization. The Adventist message penetrated the people of South Nyanza through their educational work. The conversion of the first converts can be ascribed to the desire for the education which accompanied the new religion. Kamagambo Adventist College became the first college in South Nyanza. Equally, Nyanchwa became the first college in the Gusii part of South Nyanza. The two colleges exercised a great influence on the local community especially in the socio-economic and educational fields. At the same time the colleges have also contributed enormously to the community's development through the roles played by its alumni in society. Besides this, the study has also recommended some other pertinent areas for further study and research. 2014-11-14T00:00:00Z

Cc: 'Mindy'
Subject: Notice of a complaint to be filed asserting misclassification by DST as to 1099 independent contractor status Vs W-2 status.
Please Direct to Mr. Mark Elie, President (DST Enterprises)
Since I first notified your Corporate Agent, Angela that specific issues existed regarding 1099 hirings that, I had some serious concerns about directive, rules and regulations DST engages in, I have not received any responses to my concerns.
The directives by DST that a 1099 Rep MUST wear only shirts furnished by Assurance Wireless and that they Must use only marketing materials furnished by Assurance Wireless and that they MUST write no fewer than 20 applications per day while working no less than a five (5) day work week as well as they MUST submit an itinery each Friday with a schedule of where they intend to work the upcoming week, ALL violate regulations governing who can be classified 1099 and who can not.
See just a couple of links that you can review and you will quickly see that your company needs to address these issues immediately.
The fact that you also compensate your Field Mgrs a weekly guaranteed base of $500 is clearly changing that position from 1099 to W-2 because, you are requiring specific duties to be performed during a work week of not less than five (5) days but more likely 6 or 7 day work weeks because the Field Mgr. is required to work whenever and wherever a Field Rep is working.
Last Friday, 03/22/2013 as a result of my concerns not being addressed, I requested that I be reimbursed $500 per my request to Angela to offset job postings that I had placed in Good Faith in an attempt to recruit Field Reps under what I was lead to be a legitimate 1099 opportunity and I also requested to be paid for the two weeks time since 03/07/2013 that I acted in the position I was hired for which Ive not been paid.
Total Due and requested was and remains $1,500.00 for what is proposed to be a joint settlement to walk away and void the original agreement by and between DST and my company.,
I am going to allow you the opportunity to direct deposit the amount requested in the amount of $1,500 into my account not later than Friday, 03/29/2013.
I am also placing you and DST on NOTICE that if this proposed settlement is rejected and/or ignored and the $1,500 isnt in my account by the close of Friday, 03/29/2013 then I shall file a formal written complaint with EEOC regarding 1099 violations which involve misclassification of 1099 employees and I am sure that this could involve any and all agents currently under the employment by DST.
I look forward to resolving this matter no later than 03/29/2013 and prior to my being forced to file an EEOC complaint to collect monies due to me and to also bring to their attention the current hiring practice by DST.
While my complaint will be filed if necessary against DST, an investigation into these issues could also include Assurance Wireless, Virgin Mobile and Sprint so a determination can be made as to what the contractural / SOP Agreement by and between the parties requires to determine who all the responsible parties are.

Pets: Evacuation tips
Prepare ahead for safety and comfort of your petDo not leave pets at home, especially if you live in an evacuation area. Even if they survive the storm, they might flee a damaged home and be lost in the chaos.
Where to take your pet
It might be difficult, if not impossible, to find shelter for your animals in the midst of a disaster, so plan ahead.
Kennels: Check our list of area facilities that accept animals during storms.
Hotels: In advance, contact hotels and motels outside your area to check policies on accepting pets and restrictions on number, size and species. Ask whether "no pet" policies could be waived. Keep a list of "pet-friendly" places, including phone numbers, with other disaster information. For an impending storm, call ahead for reservations. The Web site petswelcome.com maintains a list of hotels that accept pets.
Friends, relatives: Ask friends, relatives or others outside the area whether they could shelter your animals. Make arrangements with neighbors to help evacuate pets in the event you can't get home.
Pet-friendly shelters: See the shelter maps on this site.
Other tips
Vaccinate your pet. If you haven't already done so, get those shots now. Infectious diseases can become a big threat after a disaster.
Get your pet an ID tag. If a pet becomes lost or escapes during the confusion of an evacuation, proper identification will increase the chances of a safe return home. Tag should include your cell number and, if space allows, the number of an out-of-town contact. Consider having your pet tattooed or 'microchipped.'
Get a pet carrier. You will need a pet carrier or cage for each dog, cat, bird or small animal. Make sure it is large enough for each pet to stand up and turn around comfortably.
Take clear, color photos (frontal, left and right sides) of you with your pet, and store these with your pet's license, medical records and ownership papers in a waterproof carrier to take with you. Include pictures of the pet with you to help with any challenge to your ownership. Take photos with your cellphone so they're stored there as well.

After 62 days in the NICU, Xavier made it to the big boy crib last night!!! We are so excited! He is still a bit under 4 lbs (3 lbs 12.9 oz), but hopefully will hit the four pound mark sometime this week since he is gaining weight steadily. He is nippling two of his feedings and will probably be bumped up to 4 of 8 in the next couple of days if things continue to go well. The night nurse said she expects him to go home the first week in December!! This has been a LONG uphill battle, but this whole NICU experience really shows you how strong the real tiny ones really are!
Comments (9)
Congratulations!!!! I remember what a thrill that was; it won't be long now. Sometimes those last weeks seem to last forever, when the end is in sight - hang in there!
Congrats. My 30 weeker took forever to get to the big boy crib but when it happened I was thrilled. Your little man will be home before you know it.

Congrats!! I was soooo excited when my little guy made it to a big boy crib. Well, we got a bassinet. I begged for a crib, but they never had one available. It was so nice to touch and hold my little guy without having to open up a porthole. Enjoy, it just keeps getting better. Pretty soon you'll be reaching into your crib at home. :)

Kyle porter kicked me and my 5 year old son out of my home. We have no place to go, no money, no food. He stole my sons toys, my clothing and now my home which is in my name. He has kicked in my door, tried to break in my back door and last week pointed a gun to my head and threatened me. Each time I have called police, they do nothing about it. He is trespassing on my property and changed the locks and denied me access to my home.

Go Red for women's health awareness
Published: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 at 9:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 10, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
The issue: Women's awareness of heart-disease risk. We suggest: Join the effort to heighten it.
Over the years, little attention has been given to the threat of heart disease to women.
The result is that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women above age 25 and is the No. 1 killer of women in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes. According to the Louisiana State Center for Health Statistics, heart disease killed more than 90 percent of women age 25 and up who died in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes in 1997 and 1998.
That makes it health issue No. 1 for women locally.
So the American Heart Association has kicked off a national campaign, Go Red for Women, to increase awareness of cardiovascular disease among women and empower them to combat the condition. The campaign will be observed Feb. 4 when for $5, employees of participating companies can break dress codes wear jeans and red clothing to work.
So far, a handful of companies have joined the effort and signed on to help raise money for heart-disease research and to heighten awareness of women's risks. More are being sought and signing up is easy -- just contact Kimberly Landry at 851-3479 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Participating in Go Red Day and helping raise money for research and education is important and a worthy cause. Money raised will help improve emergency services and teach lifesaving skills. Individuals and companies concerned about women's health should get on board. After all, healthy employees tend to be more productive.
But there's another way of getting with the program: Self-evaluation of dietary and exercise habits. A sedentary lifestyle, a diet loaded with fat or simply overindulging in all types of foods all increase the risks of heart disease. But regular checkups, including checks of blood pressure, cholesterol and other health indicators can help monitor health status and avoid increasing the risk of heart disease. By being aware of these factors, eating well and exercising, women can lead longer, healthier lives.
So Go Red on Feb. 4. Help spread awareness about women's risk of heart disease.

By Melanie Wanzek CTW Features
Robin Spoehr was thrilled to land an interview for a research technician position at Upstate Medical University in New York state, but she had a problem: She lived in Minnesota.
"I was unable to afford a trip to Boston, where the interviewing executive was based, or Syracuse, where the lab was," she said. But the executive was amenable to doing a video chat.
Spoehr practiced with her webcam, testing the sound levels, lighting, camera angles and what clothing to wear. She even had a friend conduct a mock interview with her using Skype, the software application that allows users to make free phone calls using the Internet. Following the interview, Spoehr landed the position and moved to New York soon after.
Less personal than an on-site interview yet more interactive than the phone, video interviews offer employers a long-distance interview option and offer job-seekers a convenient alternative to expensive travel.
Video interviewing is an experience all job-seekers should get used to, says Wade Burgess, director of sales at the social networking Web site LinkedIn. Burgess has been conducting video interviews for about three years and says the technology reduces cost, increases efficiency and will only continue grow as a hiring tool.
To prepare, get to know your webcam. Practice looking the camera "in the eye," just as you would with a person, and test all aspects of the experience – the sound, lighting, background and your clothing – to make sure they work on camera and portray the right image. In addition, try a mock video interview with a friend to get used to the experience.
Video interviewing can feel awkward at first, but basic interviewing skills still apply. Just as in-person, the interview can amplify qualities about you, such as your ability to adapt and act professionally in a strange environment, or your confidence in your communication abilities.
Many potential video mishaps can be avoided by preparing yourself and your environment. Burgess says he has faced more than one interesting scenario via video, from a man who looked professional until he stood up and was wearing Bermuda shorts, to a college student who tried to text during the interview.
"One poor guy was doing a great job, then his daughter walked in without knocking and exclaimed, 'Daddy, Joey's peeing in the bushes again!'" he said. "I just lost it."
Video Chat
Unless you're aiming for the grand prize on "America's Funniest Videos," plan on careful preparation and several trial runs before clicking on the webcam for a video interview.
Test the sound, lighting and the clothes you plan to wear.
Examine the scenery behind you to make sure it isn't distracting or inappropriate.
Practice video chatting with a friend.
Be sure to focus on the camera, not the screen.
Check to make sure you and the interviewer use compatible versions of the video chat program.

Stressed out about work or losing your job? Try these tips
There are proven ways you can successfully manage occupation-related stress and prevent worries from overwhelming you.
Director, Naperville Clinical Services
With all the job insecurities, deadline pressures and excessive workloads we face in the business world, it's inevitable to experience some degree of stress and anxiety while at work. But over time, these fears and concerns can impede job performance, reduce productivity, decrease self-esteem, diminish relationships among colleagues and clients, provoke substance abuse and negatively impact mental and physical health. But there are proven ways you can successfully manage occupation-related stress and prevent worries from overwhelming you.
Before you can control it, however, it's important to understand that stress, to some degree, is a normal, healthy response that is instinctually embedded in each of us as a mechanism crucial for human survival. There's a built-in "fight or flight" mode that's triggered when we're faced with a serious threat. Physiologically, the body immediately responds: heart rate speeds up, extra glucose is burned to produce energy, the adrenal glands secrete stimulating hormones, the brain distributes cortisone, epinephrine and other hormones, and blood flows to the muscles.
But while stress can make you ready for action, maintaining this heightened state of alert for too long taxes the body. Tension accumulates, leading to a variety of undesirable mental and physical symptoms, including depression, headaches, difficulty concentrating, a weaker immune system, sleep problems and cardiovascular disorders.
The first step toward managing unease and anxiety is recognizing exactly what it is that's stressing you out and distinguishing whether your fears are rational or irrational. An irrational fear is something that is not likely to happen to you and that is typically beyond your control—for example, panicking that you'll be downsized from your job tomorrow because you just read a newspaper report predicting the loss of 500,000 more jobs nationwide over the next month. A rational fear is one that can be more substantiated and justified based on immediate signs and symptoms manifest in your reality—case in point, you just heard that your company was bought out and that an undisclosed number of positions will be soon eliminated.
With either type, it's important to have a self-dialogue, acknowledge what it is that is fretting you and then process the problem-solution by asking and answering questions: What is it you're afraid of? What is the likelihood that what you fear will happen? What is the worst that can happen? How will this outcome affect my life in the long-term? What can I do to prevent it from happening or resolve the problem? What goals can I set to improve the situation? And what can I learn from this experience?
Additionally, try these suggestions to better cope with job-provoked stress:
• Speak to others about what's troubling you. Vent with trusted coworkers and loved ones. Vocalize your concerns. Consider consulting with a mental health professional and beginning talk therapy.
• Set realistic goals and expectations and pursue challenges that you know you can tackle.
• Break up tasks causing you stress into manageable chunks: Instead of worrying about getting everything done this week, concentrate on one day at a time.
• Use visualization techniques—close your eyes and imagine your fears embodied in a big white ball that you can shrink with the power of your mind, picture yourself as successful, confident and in control, and conjure up positive views of your life and career.
• Try writing about what's bothering you. Journaling your feelings and experiences and putting down your problems and possible solutions on paper is therapeutic.
• Aim for a better work-life balance. Rework your schedule or shift to accommodate spending quality time with your family and friends. Engage in hobbies, pastimes and fitness to round out other areas of interest.
• Delegate appropriate tasks to others—if you're an employer or manager, entrust extra responsibilities and decision-making to those who work for you in a fair manner.
• If you hate your job, think about a job or career change or perhaps meet with your supervisor to restructure your duties.
• Get organized, create schedules and lists to stay on top of deadlines, manage your time more effectively, avoid procrastinating, and make your work area more efficient.
• Take small breaks during the work day, and get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night.
• Try deep breathing: Using your diaphragm, take slow, deep breaths and exhale slowly.
• Incorporate a stretching and exercise routine in your daily/weekly schedule, engage in athletic activities and engage in yoga, which can calm your mind, relieve tension and strengthen your body.
• Consider meditation. Sit in a quiet, comfortable room with your eyes shut and clear your mind until you feel calm and content.
Don't let occupational stress control you—get in touch with your doubt, angst and consternation and practice techniques that can help you overcome fears, get your mind off your problems and gain greater command of your situation.

Skip to comments.'Abstinent' teens test positive for STDs

More than 10 percent of teens who said they were abstinent also tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, says a study in Pediatrics released Monday a figure public health advocates say justifies screening all teens for such diseases.
Study author Jessica McDermott Sales, a research assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education at Emory University, said STD screenings should happen, regardless of what they say about their sexual histories.
"These infections can have some pretty major consequences for young people . It's worth the urine test," she said.
The study was based on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health ("Add Health"), which has tracked thousands of teens and young adults for more than a decade.
In Wave 3 of Add Health, about 14,000 youth agreed to provide a urine specimen to check for three STDs gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis.
More than 11,000 of these youth said they had had sexual intercourse in the last 12 months, while the remaining 3,000 youth reported no sexual intercourse during that time.
The STD tests came back positive for 964 youth.
The vast majority of these STD results occurred in youth who said they had had sexual intercourse in the last year.
But 118 youth who denied having sexual intercourse also tested positive for an STD. In fact, 60 of these young people said they had never had sexual intercourse in their lives.

Was this an oral test?
In the Clintonian lexicon, that means it wasn't a test after all.
People lie about sex.
An amazing revelation to some, to be sure. But there it is.
People lie about sex.
It just can't be the darling little victim's fault...now can it???
Who knew that teens lied???
This is about what you can expect when parents turn their responsibilities for teaching their children over professors at Emory Univ.
Many teens today believe that if it is not vaginal intercourse, it isn't sex. Thank you, Mr. Clinton.
True but Trichomoniasis can pass woman to woman through anything wet/damp including a toilet seat. I worked in a clinic for a while and there was a 11YO girl that got it from her 15yo hosebag sister.
Meaning of is is...
11,000 out of 14,000 "abstinant" teens had sex in the last 12 months? That's a strange definition of abstinance.
Blood to blood contact (body fluid to body fluid) transmits almost any of them also.
But not much blood to blood contact with oral sex, unless you are doing it horribly wrong!
And not much blood to blood contact with vaginal sex either.
That is one of the reasons why AIDS ran rampant in the homosexual community - anal sex is much more likely to involve blood.
14000 in the study. 11,000 admit to having sex. 3000 claim no sex for previous year.
964 test positive. Of these, 846 admitted to having sex, and 118 with an STD claimed to have avoided all sex.
So, of 3000 people claiming to have been abstinent, 118 had an STD. And the lead is that more than 10% of the teens claiming to be abstinent had an STD??
"It takes a village..." (H. Clintoon)
10% of abstinent teens, huh? Yeah, and sure that shows abstinence doesn't work. /S
Let's try again with some emphasis.
In Wave 3 of Add Health, about 14,000 youth agreed to provide a urine specimen to check for three STDs gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis.
More than 11,000 of these youth said they had had sexual intercourse in the last 12 months, while the remaining 3,000 youth reported no sexual intercourse during that time.
or from a Seinfield episode, "My boyfriend told me I got VD from the tractor."
and you call that The Tractor Story??
Two things to consider
Up to 60% of all US teens have HPV so if 10% of Teens who tout abstinence do not then there is something significant.
Of course not all teens who claim abstinence follow through but if they are doing 50% better than teens who do that that proves 'they are not all going to do it anyway'
As someone else pointed out schools and media have tried to redefine 'sex' by limiting it to the strictly penetrative test.
In fact Sex is so much more and some might think 'this is not really sex'...
Reading the article, it says:
* The study included about 3000 people who said they had been abstinent within the past year.
* Of those who said they had been abstinent for the past year, 118 of the participants tested positive.
That seems closer to 4% than 10%.
Under Bubba's definition, they puffed but did not inhale. They just told their parents they were abstinant. The problem with many of today's youth and parents are that they are 'friends' rather than having a true parent/child relationship. My upbringing was strict, but I was taught the limits and the difference between right and wrong. How we felt was really never an issue. When my parents made a ruling it was followed or punishments were doled out. Spankings were not uncommon, but during later years taking away 'currency' was very effective. It was up to my parents to decide what the currency was. Spending time with friends, phone time, using the car, etc were all priveleges that could be taken away very easily. The problem with kids these days is that their parents are too soft and allow the children to play one parent against the other. Society has shifted from necessities and luxuries to 'I want it, so I have to have it'. Earning money and saving it for something you wanted or needed is a concept that is lost on society today. They do not understand what real hardship is.
People lying about sex, and teenagers yet! Teenagers never lie about anything.
There were 6636 male participants (weighted percent: 50.9) and 7376 female participants (weighted percent: 49.1). Sixty-seven percent of the sample self-described as white (7497 [weighted percent: 67.1]) and 16.4% self-identified as black (3097 [weighted percent: 16.4]). There were 2291 Hispanics (weighted percent: 11.8), 956 Asians (weighted percent: 3.7), and 171 in all other self-described racial/ethnic categories (weighted percent: 1.0). The mean age of participants in the sample was 21.9 years (SD: 1.8 years), and 12 522 selfreported that they had graduated high school or received a general equivalency degree (weighted percent: 88.2). Overall, 11 039 (weighted percent: 79.7) reported having penile/vaginal sex with at least 1 partner in the previous 12 months. Of all wave 3 participants who provided a urine sample for STD screening, 964 (weighted percent: 6.0) tested STD-positive for at least 1 of the 3 assessed STDs. Of the STDpositive participants, 838 (weighted percent: 89.5) reported sex with at least 1 partner in the previous 12 months, 118 (weighted percent: 10.5) reported abstaining from sexual activity during the previous 12 months before assessment, and 60 of the latter participants (weighted percent: 5.9) reported never having penile/vaginal sex in their lifetime. Thus, 118 participants (more than 10% of the 964 participants who tested positive for an STD) demonstrated a discrepancy in their STD test results and self-report of recent sexual activity.
So the short version should have said 10.5% of study participants who tested positive for an STD claimed to have no sex in the previous year and 5.9% claimed to have never had sex in their lives.
Teens lie. WOW! I stand amazed, I tell you, amazed!
In the minds of these teens, if there isn't penetration then they are still being "abstinent" regardless of whether or not there is physical contact of the genitalia.
Study author Jessica McDermott Sales, a research assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education at Emory University, said STD screenings should happen, regardless of what they say about their sexual histories.
Another study?
Conclusion -somebody wants something.
What do they want? How about mandatory testing of all (teens) what ages exactly -they all lie -lets just say all children. MANDATORY testing for STD's regardless, the parents wishes.
Where will this happen? But of course, the community 'health clinics' -planned parenthood (abortions r us)...
What good is testing without treatment and prevention and education? OH but of course...
In my opinion, this is buy another camel's nose attempting to get into the tent...
Stated differently, teens who practice or even claim to practice abstinence are 1/2 as likely to catch STDS.
A high number of abstinent adults also test positive for pregnancy in the ER. The rule is you can't trust people to answer questions about sex truthfully.
Or that "abstinent" girls may still benefit from Gardisil.
"More than 10 percent of teens who said they were abstinent also tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, says a study in Pediatrics released Monday a figure public health advocates say justifies screening all teens for such diseases."
Which means about 90% - the vast majority - did not, a figure that shows there is little justification for a broad policy initiative to help ameliorate self-inflicted conditions of small minority.
"That seems closer to 4% than 10%."
They became pediatricians because they didn't need higher math skills like internists.
BS. 24% of 14-19 year olds as reported in Dunne EF, Unger ER, Sternberg M (2007). "Prevalence of HPV infection among females in the United States". JAMA 297 (8): 8139.
Until those 10% start spreading the STDs around town.
The immaculate infection...
""Prevalence of HPV infection among females in the United States"
46% of women under 25 http://books.google.com/books?id=Elx37xzO0bsC&pg=PA992&lpg=PA992&dq=hpv+infection+rates+united+states+teenagers+precent&source=bl&ots=Sm5804LR6t&sig=BSLMZxBFTfRa5q1LKKv49hibo84&hl=en&ei=CxUkTemaJMSknQfH4aCUAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CEQQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false
Your cite is from 2000. Mine is from 2007, therefore more current. The primary sources in both are the CDC. Thanks.
Your stat only talks about grils and not girls and boys...
I was waiting for that lame argument. Even if precisely the same number of boys are afflicted as girls, the percentage would be the same. Numerator increases, denominator increases, fraction stays the same.
But what if more boys are effected than girls...
There are lies, damn lies and stats! so asking what is this number, what does it mean and how did you get it is only 'lame' when you have weak or incomplete numbers..
But the best part is that you are so busy trying to defend 60 or 20 or 40 that you ignore the point... Chasing your tail like a confused pup..
If a higher percent of teens who did not promise abstinence have STD's than the number of teens who do promise abstinence that means to some degree abstinence pledges work...
The rest is figuring out just how much they work..
Or we can have it your way and just assume the little buggers are so hopped up on hormones they would screw anything that walks.. Hand out condoms, give them the nod and wink about making sex meaningful and waiting, and shooting them full of untested vaccines for diseases that everyone insisted were basically harmless (until we had a vaccine)..
If you read the article, the parameter set to define "abstinent" was no sex in the last year. I find it just as plausible that they might have contracted their STD prior to that window.
True enough. It always helps when you look at what the samples actually ARE, not what they are purported to be.
But most teenagers who have not had sex within the last year were hardly 'abstaining'. If they were then every day of my life I am 'abstaining' from having sex with all the hot actresses in L.A..
"Until those 10% start spreading the STDs around town."
And whose fault would that be???
"The public's" because they didn't pass a stupid law making it mandatory that EVERY teen get regular blood tests for STDs???
Or stupid people who have unprotected sexual intercourse with persons with whom they have no assurance that such persons have not been sexually active with third parties??
All laws intended to make promiscuity "safer" are actually laws to make promiscuity easier; as if by escaping "physical health" problems that can arise from promiscuity that EVERYTHING ELSE is thus "O.K."; when, in fact, promiscuity, with or without physical health consequences, is, by its nature, fraught with many other risks of adverse consequences to the long term health and happiness of the individual; whether or not any of those consequences are voiced as a religious issue of "sin".
The major focus on merely successfully "avoiding STDs", through legislation to require STD blood tests, is a diversion from the wholesale consequences of promiscuity, and IS intended to simply remove one more potential obstacle to seemingly "successful" promiscuity.
Better that people actually fear EVERY consequence of promiscuity and thereby maybe avoid being promiscuous more often than not - which DOES seem to be the case with the overwhelming majority - 90% - among those that profess some adherence to abstinence. If EVERYONE took THEIR position, maybe the 90% figure would be found among the population as a whole, and that in itself would be a major accomplishment.
In the end, YOU are responsible for knowing what you need to protect your health from consequences of your intimate human relationships and no law can absolutely insure otherwise, unless your own Liberty is the victim of the law as well.

Definition of danewort in English:
Entry from British & World English dictionary
A dwarf Eurasian elder with a strong, unpleasant smell and berries yielding a blue dye.
- Sambucus ebulus, family Caprifoliaceae.
Example sentences
- The name danewort originates from a belief that it is found only on sites where battles took place between the English and the Danes, as the plant grew from the blood of Danish soldiers.
- Following their re-emergence in early spring, the mature peacock butterflies feed on flowering sallows, dandelions, wild marjoram, danewort and clover fields.
- What will remain uppermost in the mind are surely the banks of dwarf elder Sambucus ebulus, also known as danewort, with their hordes of nectaring Hairstreaks.
Early 16th century: so named from the folklore that the plant sprang up where Danish blood was spilt in battle.

That any somatic disease may influence any mental disease favorably is a matter of great theoretical and practical importance. The malarial treatment of paresis is a concrete example of its clinical utilization.1 But its theoretical implications extend far into the complicated questions of the interrelations of psychic and somatic disease and touch intimately on the important problem of reversibility.
That it is a fact of repeated observation that somatic disease may favorably affect preexisting psychotic manifestations should not require much evidence here. Pinel2 enumerates various disorders "operating to produce a permanency of recovery." Jacobi3 mentioned it in 1844. Koster4 wrote an inaugural dissertation on it in 1848 at Bonn; and the literature contains fully two score contributions, case reports and discussions. Back of all this, of course, is the theory, presumably based on many observations, of traumatic or shock treatment.

Better living through nature

natural health, natural sunscreen, sunscreen regulations, FDA, SPF, UVA rays, UVB rays, skin cancer
Because no federal regulations for sunscreens exist in the U.S., sunscreen manufacturers have had free reign for decades, allowing them to slap unsubstantiated claims such as "waterproof," "broad spectrum" and "all-day protection" on their packaging. A set of rules for sunscreen safety was considered in 1978 but never established. Now, 33 years later, the FDA is laying down the law with a new regulations for sunscreen products.
New federal regulations for sunscreen products will prohibit manufacturers from putting claims such as "waterproof" and "sweatproof" on their labels. Photo By Sena/Courtesy Flickr.
The new rules, which will go into effect in 2012, will require sunscreens to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. (Most sunscreens currently don't offer protection from UVA rays, which cause wrinkles and cancer.) The new rules will also prohibit sunscreen manufacturers from labeling their products as "waterproof" and "sweatproof," as no sunscreen product actually is. Instead, manufacturers will be required to list how long, in minutes, their sunscreens are water-resistant, based on test results. Sunscreens will also be required to have an SPF of 15 in order to claim that they prevent sunburn and reduce the risk of cancer.
Missing from the list of regulations is any rule limiting SPF. Although studies have shown that SPFs higher than 50 don't offer any additional protection, the FDA has declined to enter what it's calling the "SPF arms race."
Although the new regulations will improve the sunscreen industry, they don't address other issues such as sunscreens' damaging effect on marine life and the use of toxic ingredients such as parabens and vitamin A, which can speed up the development of skin cancer. Even once the new regulations are in place, we still believe natural sunscreens free of toxic ingredients and made with biodegradable ingredients offer a better alternative to most of the products lining the sunscreen aisle.

By Tim Cherry, Belvoir EagleOctober 4, 2012
FORT BELVOIR, VA--(Sept. 27) A former NFL running back and college football star shared his personal battle with Dissociative Identify Disorder during Fort Belvoir's Suicide Prevention Stand Down Day Sept. 27.
Herschel Walker, University of Georgia graduate, spoke to community members about recovering from anger issues, behavioral problems and depression in Fort Belvoir's Community Center. Walker urged audience members to think positive and to not be ashamed to ask for help.
Col. Gregory D. Gadson, Fort Belvoir garrison commander, lauded Walker for overcoming his problems and sharing his experiences to inspire Army personnel.
"He is just a tremendous man with a tremendous testimony," Gadson said.
Walker led the Georgia Bulldogs football team to a national championship in 1980 and he won the 1982 Heisman Trophy. He finished his college career with 5,097 yards and a 32-2 record.
Walker played in 12 professional seasons in the NFL with four different teams. He is 9th all-time in all-purpose yards and 36th all-time in career rushing yards, according to Pro-Football Reference.com.
Walker started displaying violent and unusual behavior after his playing career. He said he would frequently pace back and forth in his bedroom in the middle of the night with his wife laying feet away, considered shooting someone and claims to have played Russian roulette with a loaded gun.
Walker was suffering from a multiple personality illness called Dissociative Identity Disorder. He developed multiple personalities to suppress the trauma of being bullied during his childhood.
"As I was reading my writings as a 12 year old little boy, I talked about death all the time … I talked about killing people," said Walker, recalling this moment as the point when he realized he had a problem. "I was using football as my coping mechanism, like when someone uses alcohol or drugs as coping mechanisms. We don't want to deal with what's really going on."
Walker said he suppressed the bullying moment by developing a "tough guy" personas to protect him from further harm. He also developed additional personalities to handle the attention he received during his playing career. Medical treatment helped Walker overcome his multiple personalities. With his life turned around, the man who wanted to join the Marines in high school is serving his country as a motivational speaker. Walker has shared his story with servicemembers at more than 60 military installations across the U.S.
"Soldiers, they do so much for us civilians and I think when we can reach back to help them, that's something that we should do," Walker said.
His visit at Belvoir included a stop at the Warrior Transition Battalion where Lt. Col. Carl Curriera, WTB commander, discussed their operations and how the Soldiers live while assigned at Belvoir.
"What they do to help their wounded (Soldiers) is an absolute blessing," said Walker who loved his entire visit at Belvoir.
He also taught mixed martial arts fighting techniques to Soldiers in the Fort Belvoir Warrior Combatives Training Center.
Lt. Col. Brian Zarchin, Headquarters Battalion Commander, said Walker emphasized hard work, confident thinking and fun as keys to success for Soldiers carrying out missions.
He touched on these same keys during his speech in the Community Center.
Walker used several analogies and stories during his presentation. One involved a father who places horse manure into his son's room. The father is surprised to see his son, who always has a positive attitude, happily shoveling the manure out of his room.
The son tells his father that he's searching for a pony at the bottom of the pile. Walker said the message is to stay positive and a bad situation will become good.
Another analogy Walker used involved a person attempting to scare off a vampire with holy water and a cross. The vampire tells the person the tools won't work without faith.
"That's the way things are in our life. It's not going to work unless you have faith," Walker said. "You got to believe that you can overcome."
Walker said faith and positive thinking helped him overcome DID. He urged audience members to use these tools during bad situations and ask for help when necessary.
Doryan Dixon, Army Substance Abuse Program manager, believes Walker's speech provided a positive message for the Belvoir community on Suicide Stand Down Day.
"I think with the Soldiers, Families and civilians hearing the story of how he turned lemons into lemonade is something we can take a huge lesson from because we all have tough times, but we can't sulk in them," Dixon said. "We have to look at the positive side."
Suicide Stand Down Day increased suicide prevention awareness, and enhanced resiliency and health, to prevent future suicides in the Army.
In 2012 there have been 89 potential active-duty suicides, with 48 confirmed and 41 under investigation, according to a U.S. Department of Defense news release. The same release confirmed 165 total active-duty suicides since 2011.
"Suicide is a real issue for the Army, whether you have the uniform on or you don't. We've got to do a better job of taking care of each other," Gadson said. "We got to display the courage to get help or the courage to get somebody help."
Dixon, impressed by Walker's personable, open and compelling story, believes Walker provided additional words of wisdom for the community. She noted Walker's manure analogy as an example of positive thinking.
"You can either go in the room and sulk, and isolate yourself or you can put that energy into something positive," Dixon said. "If you have a positive attitude about it and keep digging you're going to find something good."
Walker concluded his speech by urging audience members to seize opportunities to get better.
"Let's not put off something that we can do right now," Walker said. "We're blessed and when we're blessed we can go do whatever we want. You got to tell yourself 'I love who I am.' Today I say, 'I love Herschel Walker.'"

I got behind in my rent at my hair salon. The landlord changed the locks in November. I contacted them about getting my items cleared out so they can rent the space if they wanted. In January I sent a text to landlord and asked about my items again because I wanted to make sure they were safe. She responded that they were. But the stylist who rented my space told me that they were trying to sale my equipment. Can they hold my things?
Litigation Lawyer
It depends on your lease. If your lease allows the landlord to take the items in compensation for the last rent and they file the appropriate lien documents yes. If the lease does not allow this, you will likely need to sue in small claims to get your items back before they sell them.
