Satirical Hip Hop (often referred to as Ironic rap or Meme Rap) refers to a sub genre of hip hop that is created with the intention of becoming viral, normally as a joke and/or a parody of prominent genres such as Gangsta rap and trap music. The satirical nature of an ironic rap song is often intentionally left out of its title, cover image, and description, in order to catch listeners by surprise. Meme rap typically features lo-fi cloudy production, simplistic music videos, lazy rhymes, and intentionally stereotypical lyrics, with humor as the goal.

Rap music produced and/or promoted with the intention of going viral and becoming a meme. Can refer to a single song, or to the entire identity of the artist. Most commonly distributed on the internet via youtube and often uses humor and subtle self-parody. Notable examples include the south korean artist PSY with his viral music video "Gangnam Style". Another example is the South African rap group Die Antwoord whose fame became viral after the release of their video "Zef Side" on youtube.

He's very injury prone.
He's never played a full season...and with St. Louis, he has missed about 15-20 games each and every season due to injuries.
Every few games, he'll leave the game with an apparent injury and it will look like he is really, really hurt. He'll have this grimace on his face like he is in severe pain and leave you wondering, uh oh... but he usually comes back or only misses a game, or two, or three. But yeah, that kind of thing happens all of the time with him.
He will have defensive lapses more than you would like. He'll also make you pull your hair out in the offensive zone at the blue line.
He should also score more than he does given he has a decent shot.
I like Carlo, I'd like to have him back as a depth guy. But no huge loss as the Blues have some guys ready to make the step into the NHL. Any higher than #5 or #6 on the depth chart for Carlo, and you're asking too much of him.
Seeing as how you guys have lost a chunk of your defense, he'd be a decent sign for Detroit. But don't expect a whole lot from him.

Publisher Larry Tobin's 11/22/05 column:
I normally don't do much with National Rifle Association. material because I don't agree with everything they promote, but I received a copy of a letter last week that was sent out by NRA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. I was surprised by the information contained in the letter and I'm going to reprint some of it here because I think it's vitally important.
"No phone. No power. No 911. No police. No way to get help.
You're totally cut off from the rest of the world. Armed, predatory gangs are roaming the streets and committing violent felonies at will. And with nothing to rely on except yourself, you have no choice but to stand at the ready, day and night, to defend your family, keep looters out of your home, or even prevent a murder or rape.
More than a week later, when police and National Guard troops finally arrive, you feel relief...until they make it clear that they've come to confiscate your guns under sweeping 'emergency powers' laws.
As hard to believe as it sounds, the situation...is exactly what law-abiding citizens of New Orleans faced - just days after Hurricane Katrina struck.
Two weeks into the disaster, high-ranking, politically-appointed officials set out to turn nature's assault into a government assault on our rights - and destroy the last remaining thing that Katrina couldn't touch - the RIGHT guaranteed by our Second Amendment to keep and bear firearms for self defense.
The signal for city-wide gun confiscation came from New Orleans Superintendent of Police Edwin Compass, who declared, 'No one will be able to be armed. Guns will be taken. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns.' In a statement to the Associated Press, Deputy Police Chief Warren Riley underscored this profound betrayal by stating, 'We are going to take all the weapons.'
And with these announcements, law enforcement officials began a massive house-to-house search - confiscating lawfully owned firearms that, in the days and hours before, had been used to prevent countless (crimes).
Just that quickly every notion of justice, freedom, and common sense...was turned completely inside out....
In a place where 25 percent of the police force inexplicably vanished from their jobs - where helpless people were ordered into the Superdome by the mayor ... where hospitals were looted for drugs - where gunfire erupted every night on the streets - where government officials played the blame game for days around an expanding circle of mayhem and death - the police were dispatched into the homes of law-abiding citizens with orders to disarm them, by force if necessary.
Fox News caught one of these violent episodes ... on tape when police entered the residence of an elderly woman, Patricia Konie, and demanded that she evacuate her home. Konie pointed out that her street was dry, she had plenty of food and water and, if looters came, she had a gun.
But when she showed her revolver, held in her palm with the cylinder open, no finger on the trigger, the police mercilessly body-slammed her into a wall, sending dishes flying; then confiscated her firearm and dragged her from her house.
No one will ever know how many violent crimes were prevented by law-abiding citizens with lawfully owned firearms when New Orleans erupted in chaos and anarchy. No one will ever know how many violent crimes were committed after the law-abiding citizens were forcibly disarmed in the city-wide gun sweep....
Every gun ban lobbyist who ever claimed that we could rely on the police and the government to protect us was proven dead wrong. The politicians who said 'trust the government to provide for your safety,' were nowhere to be found....
We cannot allow this anti-freedom power gram to stand as a national blueprint for gun sweeps in hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, epidemics that could threaten the lives of millions, or any other emergencies that...(we) might face in the future...The emergency plans that are in place right now for Los Angeles and San Francisco predict that in the event of the Big One - a huge earthquake - up to 300 buildings will be leveled. Authorities are calmly planning that power, water, phone and police services will be totally out for at least seven days....
If you ever find yourself trapped by a major catastrophe - a natural disaster, a riot, or a terrorist attack - the last thing you want to hear is a knock at your door from armed government officials demanding that you give up your guns."
Some scary thoughts that we can be thankful for that haven't happened everywhere in this country - yet!

Garland mother hopes to get her deceased children home after fatal Oklahoma car wreck
Erin Sanderson, the mother of the two Garland teens who died Sunday afternoon in a car wreck, is now trying to get her children home to have funeral services with their whole family in Texas.
Drake Cobb, 14, and Syrrena Sanderson, 13, were killed when Sanderson's boyfriend, Willis George veered into oncoming traffic on U.S. 60 in Oklahoma. Sanderson's 7-year-old daughter Maryssa survived with two broken legs. She is in serious but stable condition.
The driver of the other vehicle survived but his passenger, a young woman from Oklahoma, was also pronounced dead at the scene.
The family was about 45 minutes from their new home. They were moving from Garland to Missouri. Sanderson had been following behind in a rented moving truck with two of her other children and saw the accident.
"I saw it all happen," she said. "I jumped out of the truck and ran to the car. I knew they were all gone. I knew."
If you want to help the family with medical and funeral expenses, a fund has been set up for donations. You can go to any Chase Bank to deposit money into the following account:

LOYSBURG - Leah Hershberger appeared to be done for the day early in the first quarter after becoming ill.
"We took that timeout and I got calmed down," she said of her quick recovery.
After being able to settle down, she was off to the races, and had a lot of company too.
The Northern Bedford senior led all scorers with 21 points as the Lady Panthers (6-3, 6-1 ICC South) knocked off rival Tussey Mountain (5-3, 2-2 ICC South), 67-49, in an ICC South Division showdown.
Northern Bedford coach Todd Eckenroad was surprised she felt sick, and gave her and the rest of the team credit for adjusting.
"I didn't realize Leah was that sick whenever she came over [to the bench]," he said. "The kids had the desire and the heart tonight. They really wanted to come out hard and play well."
Early on, the game was on its way to being a seesaw battle.
Breana Kendrick sunk three three-pointers for nine of her team high 16 points to give the Lady Titans the early 15-13 advantage.
The Lady Panther defense stole part of the show as Cierra Cottle managed to block two shots in less than 25 seconds. Hershberger added a block of her own at the buzzer.
Cottle chipped in 19 points for Northern Bedford, which had two additional starters in double figures. Once the second quarter started, the Lady Panthers offense took over.
Northern Bedford started off an early 11-3 run, which included two three pointers by Hershberger, and the team managed to outscore the Lady Titans, 19-9, in the quarter and took a 32-24 lead at the half.
"Our defense was very poor tonight," Tussey Mountain coach Todd Gates said. "As well as we played defense in the Christmas tournament, this is about the opposite."
Tussey Mountain's offensive struggles picked up in the second quarter as Brianna Beach registered three blocks for the Panthers. She finished with 10 points and went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.
"We played really well together tonight," Hershberger said. "We just came together as a team."
Once the fourth quarter started, there was no turning back for Northern Bedford.
With just under 5 minutes to play, senior Alyssa Smith drew a foul, which gave the Lady Panthers three free-throw attempts and nailed all three to put the game away and finished with 11 points. She went 7-for-7, scoring all in the final quarter.
Eckenroad while pleased with the result, but didn't underestimate what the Lady Titans can still do.
"They're a young team, but they're right there," he said. "And they're playing really hard."
Gates, while was disappointed with how his team played, didn't take anything from Northern Bedford.
"We were a step slow and not where we needed to be," he said. [Northern Bedford] played well."
Notes: Northern Bedford converted 88 percent of its free-throws going 15-for-17 on the night compared to 8-for-17 for the Lady Titans. Tussey had one additional scorer with double-digits as Olivia Claycomb scored 12 and went 4-for-6 from the line. The Lady Panthers will be back in action on Monday at Southern Huntingdon while Tussey Mountain will head to Southern Huntingdon on Wednesday.
TUSSEY MOUNTAIN (49): Lynn 4 0-2 8, Kendrick 5 2-7 16, Coffman 1 2-2 4, Reed 4 0-0 9, Claycomb 4 4-6 12, Watkins 0 0-0 0, Rupert 0 0-0 0. Totals 18 8-17 49.

Hoard's Dairyman article: Cow PTAs to get more adjustments in April
Cow PTAs to get more adjustments in April
by Bennet Cassell
The author is a retired extension dairy scientist in genetics and management and professor emeritus at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg.
Last April, USDA implemented methods to adjust PTAs on genomically tested cows. These PTA adjustments made them more accurate in predicting future progeny performance and more useful in developing future genomic predictions. The changes were applied to all cows with genomic information and those cows with genomic scans imputed from ancestors and progeny. These adjustments created two different genetic scales within female populations because cows with no genomic information or very limited genomic-tested progeny were not adjusted. The result was that PTAs on genomic-tested cows could not be compared accurately to PTAs on cows with no genomic data.
Scientists at the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory have developed a method to adjust cow PTAs from traditional evaluations to be more like those with genomic predictions. This column discusses how those adjustments are made and how they affect PTAs in Holstein, Jersey, and Brown Swiss cows.
Let's begin by reviewing the problem the adjustments address. It is a significant one for identifying elite females. PTAs on cows and bulls are composed of an estimate of expected merit, measured by two parts:
• parent average (PA)
• a part due to deviations from that parent average, called Mendelian sampling (MS)
A little more about the science. Think of MS as the difference between a published PTA and the PA on an animal, manipulated in a process called "deregression" to account for differences in the amount of information from progeny and records from cow to cow. Substantial regression of MS causes PTA to be similar to PA for animals with little performance or progeny information. Less regression is used when animals have more records and/or many progeny.
MS on cows is from records and progeny, while MS on bulls is entirely from progeny. Bulls and cows of similar PA should inherit similar genes, on average. Some offspring of similar or identical matings will inherit better gene samples than others. These outliers fuel genetic improvement and we certainly don't want to overadjust their evaluations. The problem is that genetic evaluations for outlier females have been more extreme than for males, even for very similar PAs.
How it works
The new USDA procedure adjusts MS on females to be similar to MS in males. First, PA is subtracted from existing PTAs on cows, producing a "regressed" estimate of MS. Then, reliabilities of PTA and PA are manipulated to deregress MS. Finally, the deregressed estimate is adjusted to have similar standard deviations for both sexes and the adjusted PTA is reconstructed. Let's dig deeper into two key adjustments:
Adjustment varies with reliability of MS. The information available to estimate MS in cows is part of the scaling process. A multiplicative adjustment based on reliability of MS brings standard deviations of MS for cows into line with those for bulls with similar reliability of MS. Cows with extreme estimates of MS based on limited information get the biggest adjustment. Cows with extreme estimates based on lots of daughters, perhaps through ET, are adjusted less because there is more reason to expect genetic differences to cause extreme MS for such cows.
Extreme parent average triggers another adjustment. A second adjustment is based on how different PA on a cow is from the average PA of other animals born in the same year. USDA studies showed that deregressed Mendelian sampling was lower for bulls with superior pedigrees relative to birth year average than it was for cows that were equally superior. The unadjusted PTAs said that cows benefitted more from better parents (within a year of birth) than did the bulls. That's pretty hard to believe.
The adjustment in Holsteins, (-0.434 times difference between a cow's PA and the average PA of all cows born in the same year) is added to the cow's MS. Adjustments are positive for low PAs with negative deviations and negative for high PAs where the deviation was positive and averages zero within a birth year. Larger adjustments, plus or minus, will apply to cows with larger differences between PA and average PA for year of birth.
Adjusted PTAs are allowed to "propagate," meaning that PA of younger animals will be based on adjusted PTAs of dams and other cows in pedigrees. That means adjusted PTAs reflect corrections in ancestor merit, as well as Mendelian sampling. All adjustments are made in a closed, "add-on" system at the end of the regular all-breed animal model programs. Thus, AIPL scientists can modify or eliminate the entire system if better methods are found.
When reviewing the adjustments, cows were grouped into deciles by PA, with over 275,000 cows per group. The largest average change in PTA between adjusted and unadjusted PTAs was in groups 0 and 9.
Bookends affected most
Average change is positive for cows in lower pedigree merit groups and negative for the higher pedigree merit groups. Increases and decreases in PTA reflect the trend line for average adjustment as pedigree merit rises. The largest average drop of 131 pounds of PTA milk was in the top PA group. The range was a drop of 728 pounds and a gain of 524 pounds in the top PA group. Overall, adjustments reduce differences between cows in PTA milk, fat, and protein.
Implementation is scheduled for the April 2011 genetic evaluations. Adjusted PTAs will serve as input for genomic evaluations. Tests show that the adjustments reduce, but do not completely remove, scaling differences between genomically tested cows and genomically tested bulls.
Adjusted PTAs on genomically tested cows will be reduced by another 221, 8.8, and 6.4 pounds for milk, fat, and protein in Holsteins before those PTAs are used in the discovery population for genomic predictions.
Slightly smaller adjustments of 195, 7.9, and 6.9 pounds for milk, fat, and protein will be applied to Jersey/Brown Swiss cow PTAs. Owners of many genomically tested cows have already seen PTAs on their cows adjusted for MS scaling. The new procedures will replace some of that adjustment but are not intended to produce more extreme adjustments.
The bottom line is that PTAs on all cows have been adjusted to be more like evaluations on genomically tested cows. PTAs on cows with genomic evaluations should continue as they have been since April 2010. Generalizations can't cover every situation. I'm sure there will be some cows for which existing PTAs do change for yield traits.

The Firefly – handy if you never use it
October 19, 2006 This product is simple, cheap and effective. Guyot Designs' Firefly costs US$22 and converts any standard wide mouth bottle into a lantern. It's perfect for any outdoor adventure, whether in the backyard or in the backcountry. The Firefly's unique design allows it to be used right side up, upside down, or hanging from the nearest handy branch. The lid contains an LED light which creates a warm glow throughout the bottle and as light levels can be varied, it can double as a low level night light for those nights when the moon is obscured yet it's bright enough at its highest setting to read by. The electronics are sealed, so you can even turn it upside down or let it swing in the breeze from a nearby tree branch without fear that the electrons and water will fizzle it all out. The good thing about having kit like this is that you still win if you never use it, cos it means you've never been stuck without a ready supply of electrons.

COLUMBIANA - City residents took a walk down memory lane Tuesday night as they gave retiring City Manager Keith Chamberlin a warm send-off honoring his more than 20-year career.
Attorney Mark Hutson listed Chamberlin's many accomplishments over the years and credited both he and retiring Service Director Jay Groner for the city's growth.
Groner was appointed by Chamberlin in 1994 and has more than 40 years with the city. Both are retiring at the end of this month before changes in the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System kick in.
"The list of what's happened in this city over the last 20 years is pretty amazing. There is a number of residential developments There is a new sewage treatment plant. Columbiana High School didn't exist, the new addition at the elementary school didn't exist," Hutson said.
He added that while Chamberlin didn't handle all of the projects on his own, he was extremely instrumental with their development.
He explained that with many of the housing developments, property had to be annexed into the city, and Chamberlin was responsible with overseeing that process.
"I'm not here to tell you whether that (annexation) was a good idea or bad idea, but I can tell you that without annexation they wouldn't exist," he said.
Wayne Sitler, who owned and operated two businesses in town, said Chamberlin made it possible for him and Earl Corey to annex land into the city in the mid-1990s. The men later developed the land which is now Jamestown Trace and Saybrook housing.
The property was originally located in Beaver Township and bringing it into town was a year-long "battle," he said. "Beaver Township is very tough to give up land. Even after that annexation it didn't stop there."
He said that even when the property was in city limits residents were still being taxed by the township.
"Beaver was taxing for fire, police, etc., and then we were annexed into the city so we were paying taxes for police, fire, paramedics, and it was through Keith's efforts that we seceded, for lack of words, from Beaver Township to Fairfield Township, which saved thousands for the residents," he said.
He also said that Chamberlin is to credit for the new lift station at Back Bay since he wrote the grants that made it possible.
The "state of the art" lift station serves Woodland, Saybrook and Back Bay housing developments.
Yet another accomplishment was the acquisition and installation of culverts during the two "100-year rains" in the city, he said.
He also thanked Chamberlin for being readily available and promptly returning phone calls.
"He's always been a gentleman in any dealings that I have had with him. I'm excited at seeing where Columbiana is We have a tremendous advantage over other communities," he said.
Mark Brothers, who owns Century Industries, also thanked Chamberlin for helping him keep his business in town.
"Just maybe a year after Keith got the job we were deciding, were we staying in Columbiana or leaving? It wasn't personal, but we were making a large investment to expand and one of the concerns we had was, is Columbiana going to be there to support us in terms of power?" he said.
Since 1971, the business has grown from three bucket machines to 17 and from one plant to two full-time plants. It only recently purchased property just outside of the city that will be annexed in the future.
He said that while there are some retail vacancies in the city, there are no industrial or commercial vacancies.
"You go to town after town you will not see what you have here in Columbiana. (Former City Manager) Albert Wardingley laid a lot of the groundwork, and Keith came in like a running team and picked up the baton and was carrying it," he said.
Former mayor Dick Simpson also thanked Chamberlin and Groner.
He recalled when council was considering hiring Chamberlin as manager.
"We went into executive session and we beat it around, should we hire Keith? We finally came out and ended up in a unanimous vote, and we hired you," he said to Chamberlin. "And you, with your right-hand man (Groner), have done great for this city."
To Groner he said, "Keith couldn't have done what he did without you. I hate to see you both go."
Mayor David Spatholt also wished Chamberlin and Groner well.
"I'd like to say thank-you very much for your service. You're wonderful people and have done great service to the community," he said.
He also read aloud from a letter submitted by Chamber of Commerce President Randall Hart.
Hart said Chamberlin "led the village through considerable growth" over the years and that Groner "provided stability, reliability and wholeheartedly focused his efforts to the city and its future growth. The history of Columbiana would be void without their record of service."
Chamberlin recalled that when he began the 20-year management position his background was mostly in civil engineering and surveying and he learned other aspects of the administrative job over time through the help of his staff.
"I've appreciated working here. I enjoyed coming to work every day. I love the community. I lived here before I started working for this town. It's provided me a good living," he said.
He added that Simpson taught him to approach everything with the attitude, "How can we make this work?"
"You can make things happen, but you have to have people below that can put that together," he said.

A new touring company will perform "American Idiot" Dec. 3-5 at Salt Lake City's Kingsbury Hall.
When the musical opened on Broadway in 2010, New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood called "American Idiot" invigorating and moving, "a pulsating portrait of wasted youth that invokes all the standard genre conventions — bring on the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, please! — only to transcend them through the power of its music and the artistry of its execution."
There's not a single boring thing about the show, says McKeon, who uses words like "enthusiatic and bombastic" to describe it.
"American Idiot" tells the story of Johnny, who considers himself the Jesus of Suburbia, and his friends, Tunny and Will, who are looking for meaning in a post-9/11 world that doesn't make sense. Johnny and Tunny leave their suburban town for the city, while Will stays home with his pregnant girlfriend, falling into drug and alcohol addiction. Tunny falls under the spell of patriotism as preached on TV, enlists in the military and is shipped off to war, while Johnny falls under the spell of drug addiction and the love of a girl he calls Whatsername. The trio eventually reunite back in their hometown, all of their lives altered.
"It's the most physical show I've ever been in or seen," says Jared Nepute, who plays Johnny, the show's lead, in a phone interview from Portland, Ore. His character has a huge arc over the course of the 90-minute show, but he begins with a near musical riot. During the opening songs, Johnny jumps into shopping carts, climbs up scaffolding and directly addresses the audience. "Plus all the choreography, which is incredibly physical," says Nepute, 24, who graduated two years ago with a degree in vocal performance from New York University.
Playing Johnny reminds him of a past role, playing Orlando in an off-Broadway production of "As You Like It." Comparing a character written by Billie Joe Armstrong with Shakespeare? Absolutely, Nepute says. "Because there are moments in the show where it is just me and the audience, and I'm literally looking them in the eye and telling people what just happened and what is about to happen."

Aden & Anais Muslin Blankets ... soft, natural muslin to swaddle your baby.
Aden & Anais 100% natural cotton muslin swaddling blankets are a parents best friend. A soft, breathable and generously sized swaddling blanket, Aden & Anais blankets can be used in so many ways: as a stroller or carrier cover to protect from the sun, burp cloth, tummy-time blanket, change table cover, cover-up for nursing, and even a portable crib sheet. Swaddling blankets become softer with each wash, and make a great gift for any new mom.
Why you'll love Aden & Anais Muslin Swaddling Blankets:
- For countless generations, mothers have swaddled and cared for their children with natural muslin.
- Quality, 100% cotton muslin is the ultimate in breathability and softness.
- Muslin fabric's light, open weave allows baby to regulate their body temperature naturally, reducing the risk of overheating.
- Extremely soft and gentle on baby's sensitive skin, yet durable enough for everyday use.
- Unlimited uses! Can also be used as burp cloths, nursing and stroller covers, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, change table covers and more.
- Blankets get softer the more often they are washed.
- Generously sized for the perfect swaddle at 47" 47" - both new and seasoned moms alike can swaddle babies of all sizes with ease.
Package of four 100% cotton muslin swaddling wraps. Machine-wash. Each is 47" x 47".
Why Swaddle with Muslin?
The practice of swaddling goes back nearly as far as human history, itself.
The oldest archaeological evidence of mothers swaddling their babies begins in 4000 B.C. with the migrating peoples of ancient central Asia. The ancient Greeks and Romans swaddled. There are even biblical references to the practice.
Swaddling's ability to soothe and calm babies has been known to mothers around the world for countless generations. But while the evidence of its benefits has been clear to women for thousands of years and across every continent, today we can turn to science for proof that swaddling is one of the most gentle, effective, and beneficial practices for mothers and their children.
In 2002, the medical journal Pediatrics published a study that explained why babies who are swaddled sleep more peacefully by preventing spontaneous movements (called reflex motion) from waking them up continually during the night. The same year, the Journal of Applied Physiology wrote that swaddled infants stay in REM sleep (the most restorative, deepest sleep) longer than those who were not. There is growing evidence every year that swaddling may indirectly help prevent SIDS, as well.
Swaddling is said to be as familiar to babies as it is to their moms because it recreates the secure and cozy feeling of the womb -- and using swaddles made of natural cotton muslin only enhances that blissful feeling. Muslin is a finely-woven breathable fabric believed to have originated in Bangladesh during the Middle Ages. It's delicate, yet durable weave, makes the fabric stretchy, and therefore ideal for swaddling, as the natural give" allows the blanket to be tucked snuggly around a baby without being overly restrictive.
The lightweight muslin also permits air to circulate around the baby's body, while still providing comfort and warmth without the worry that the baby may overheat in moderate weather. Cotton muslin is also a workhorse fabric, in that wraps woven from this natural fiber stands up to repeated washings only becoming softer -- and better -- with age.
Of course, all the scientific evidence in the world is no substitute for the experience of millions of Mothers through uncountable generations: that swaddling in muslin is one of the most loving, gentle, restorative acts a mother can perform for her child.

Is an old flame heating up Kim Kardashian's Valentine's Day this year?
Amid reports last weekend that the reality star reunited over lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel with ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush, a source tells PEOPLE that the two are just friends – at least for now.
"They don't know what will happen," the source says. "They're taking it slow. They love each other so much and miss each other, but their relationship is so complicated."
Less than four months after announcing her split from Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage, Kardashian, 31, who last called it quits with the NFL pro, 26, in 2010, is in no rush to enter another relationship.
"Things are up in the air," the source adds. "Kim very much wants to take her time and be single and heal from her divorce."
Bush, who first stepped out with Kardashian in 2007, might also want to check in with stepfather Bruce Jenner.
"The next guy's got to go through me," Jenner said on Tuesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I can tell if it's going to work or not."

A three-year-old burglary looked to be unsolvable in Blasdell, until police got a hit on a DNA sample taken at the scene.
The burglar took $10 in change and a bottle of whisky from a Blasdell bar, and he left something behind: blood.
Lt. Joseph Gramaglia investigated the March 2009 burglary at Sneakers Bar on Martin Avenue. He said there was a little spot of blood on the cash register.
"The suspect had cut himself breaking in the back window," he said.
He called in a Hamburg Police Department detective trained in the retrieval of DNA.
"Three years later we got a CODIS hit," he said, referring to the Combined DNA Index System.
New York State enacted a law last March requiring DNA samples to be taken from those convicted of all crimes, excluding those committed by first-time offenders of marijuana possession. Previously, state law had permitted DNA to be collected from those charged with the most serious crimes, amounting to 48 percent of offenders.
Police arrested Nickolas McNamara, 31, of Buffalo, on charges of burglary, criminal mischief and larceny.
Gramaglia credited the new state law with identifying the blood at the scene as having McNamara's DNA.
The bar had closed at 4 a.m., and the burglary was discovered at 8:30 a.m. the same day by a worker who came in for the morning shift, Gramaglia said.
"He took $10 in quarters and a bottle of Crown Royal," Gramaglia said.

My lunch on Friday, June 28 was the best I've had in a while. A roasted chicken sandwich with a basil aioli, lots of fresh veggies, and a table surrounded by new and old friends – it was exactly what high noon at Fitbloggin' is supposed to look like. I was three meals in to this year's conference when I could whole-heartedly say it was the best food that had ever been served at this event. And then, the noon hour entertainment pushed beyond anything we've seen at Fitbloggin' before.
I'd seen a fashion show on the schedule and admittedly balked. By the time the third person stepped on to the catwalk I was fighting back tears. I tweeted out that what was happening in that room was redefining strength and beauty. Organized by Emily Ho Sandford, women of every body shape and size graced the stage to rousing applause, often bearing nothing more than a bra and workout pants.

PFBlogger Spotlight: Frugal Trader of Million Dollar Journey
|Email Print
When I started blogging I knew of very few personal finance bloggers outside of the United States. Now there are plenty whether it's plonkee over in the UK or our interview
victim participant today, Frugal Trader of Million Dollar Journey. He hails from the great white north, yep, that's Canada, and he gives us great insight into the great sport we call a "personal finance obsession." So, I invite you to enjoy my brief chat with FT today.
|Hi Frugal Trader, could you tell us a little about yourself?
|Frugal Trader:
|I always find this to be the toughest interview question. 🙂
Here it goes. I am a married Canadian who was born, raised and currently resides in Eastern Canada. I graduated from University almost 5 years ago with an Engineering degree along with a side degree in personal finance obsession.
From a personal finance perspective, I started saving at a very young age (like 7) and started dabbling in mutual funds while in high school (I was 16).
From there, I continued saving throughout University (with a part time job) and graduated with around $10k in my bank account. Sounds pretty good right? Well, it was pretty good, but unfortunately my fiance at the time (now wife), had a lot of student loan debt along with a brand new car loan. So combined, upon graduation we had a negative net worth.
Today, almost 5 years later, we have dug ourselves out of the hole, have a net worth of over $270k and a goal of a $1 million in net worth by the age of 35.
|What's it like being a Canadian pf blogger in a pfblogosphere dominated by US blogs? Do you find that a lot of the topics overlap (that's what I would suspect)?
|To answer your question, in my opinion US and Canadian personal finance are similar in some ways, but very different in others. The similarities are with portfolio asset allocation, stock strategies and budgeting/frugality. The major differences are with taxation, retirement, and government benefits.
|What's something no one else in the blogging world knows about you?
|Hmm.. I have disclosed a little bit about myself already in the post "5 things you didn't know about me", but another thing would be that at the age of 28, I'm just starting to learn how to play the guitar.
|How did you come up with the name for your blog?
|When I was thinking about setting up a website, I had a bunch of domain names in mind. However, the name Million Dollar Journey really suited me best as my financial story is literally that.. my million dollar journey.
|What motivated you to begin blogging and how long have you been doing it?
|Million Dollar Journey was my first (and only) blog with it's first post on December 6, 2006. What motivated me to start the site? I was at a time in my life where I wanted to get really organized with my finances to reach my goals. I then thought what better idea than to announce my goals to the whole Internet world to help keep me accountable. It's easy to set a goal for yourself, but I have a tendency to stop pursuing goals if no one else knows about it. The blog really helps keep me on my toes with regards to my finances.
|What do you think makes your perspective unique?
|I'm not sure that my perspective is unique. My perspective on building wealth is spend less than you earn, and look for ways to make more money. Simple.
Perhaps what attracts people to my blog is that I started young with good money habits and I have a legitimate shot of being worth $1 million in 7 years.
|What are your favorite personal finance books?
|I have them listed on MDJ. They are:
I would say that the book that has influenced my financial life the most is " The Wealthy Barber". I read this book back in high school and it's what really got me interested in personal finance.
|Which of your posts do you think all your readers should read?
|MDJ has a bunch of popular articles listed on the right sidebar. But as to articles that are popular to non-geographic specific readers, they would have to be:
The articles below are Canadian Specific:
|What financial "mistake" that you've done has bothered you the most?
|I've written about financial mistakes before. The biggest one that I've written about was investing in Nortel when I didn't know a lot about the market. The result was basically losing all of my $3,000 "investment". On the spending front, the biggest regret is probably getting such a large car loan upon graduation. In our defense though, we still drive that car and will continue doing so until it falls apart.
|How about your best decision?
|I'm not sure if there is any one good financial decisions that I've made thus far, it's more of a combination of a few. One would include buying a 2 apt home upon graduation, living in one and renting out the other. Others would be living below our means, making sure to max out our retirement accounts, starting non retirement portfolios in addition to investing in rental real estate (not including our primary residence). The most significant would probably be the rental property as it was purchased at a discount.
|What is your favorite personal finance blog and why?
|This is probably the toughest question out of the batch! I read a LOT of blogs and don't have a particular favorite as each has their own unique point of view. As a group though, I read Canadian pf blogs the most, as they relate to my life the most.
|What do you hope to accomplish this year?
This year will be a big one for us as we will be moving into our new house along with a new baby on the way. Financially speaking, even with the income setbacks of maternity leave, we hope to grow our net worth by 25% along with increasing our charitable contributions.
In terms of the blog, I hope to keep going strong with the daily posts and hopefully double my readership.
|And, lastly, if your blog ended today, how would you like people to remember it?
|I would hope for MDJ to be remembered as a site that provided useful information in improving our personal finance lives.
We hope you enjoyed our little discussion with Frugal Trader and Million Dollar Journey. While MDJ is based out of Canada, I think that many topics in personal finance are geographically independent and so MDJ is certainly a site worth putting in your reader.{ 4 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Three resident doctors got their first dose of global medicine last week, returning home after a 12-day medical mission trip to Bolivia with Altoona-based Love in Action International Ministries.
"Without diagnostic tests, we had to rely on critical skills - the way medicine used to be," said Dr. Tim Romanoski, 31, a third-year resident with UPMC Altoona's family physicians residency program.
Romanoski, his fellow residents and program faculty, Dr. Debra Pike and Dr. Art Morrow, ran clinics every day from 8 or 9 a.m. until noon, breaking for siesta until 3 p.m.
Article Photos
Dr. Tim Romanoski examines a patient with the help of translator Lindsay Luzod, a Cedarville (Ohio) University student. Romanoski was one of three resident doctors who traveled with Love in Action International Ministries in Bolivia.
Then they would often work until 6 p.m. or later, he said, before caring for volunteers working construction on Love in Action's Andrea's Home of Hope & Joy orphanage.
Having attended Ross University, a medical school based in the Caribbean nation of Dominica, Romanoski said spending time in Bolivia brought back many memories of the obstacles he used to encounter there.
"The inconsistency of electricity, problems with showers ... just seeing the poverty and lack of health care," he said.
Having never practiced global medicine outside of the Army reserves, Morrow said there was some culture shock seeing the different health care standards and treatment methods.
The doctors often were unable to treat chronic conditions, he said, because they brought limited supplies with them, and their patients wouldn't be able to afford later follow-up visits once they left.
"A lot of the things we treated were acute problems: infections or a skin rash or a serious enough problem that warranted seeing a specialist," he said.
And doctors often opted not to perform tests for a condition if the results would take weeks to process without changing the treatment.
"Here [in the residency program] they do teach us to rely on our physical exam and clinical knowledge. Tests just help with diagnosis," Romanoski said. "Things we consider routine testing would take weeks to get done, even in the hospital. A thyroid test would take weeks. Here in Altoona, it's done the same day."
This was Pike's fourth trip with Love in Action, but she said she still had new experiences - including performing a cesarean section on a 46-year-old pregnant with her sixth, and unexpected, child. The next-youngest child was 14, she said.
Insurance reasons prevented doctors from performing a tubal ligation previously, so for this pregnancy, they diagnosed the woman with macrosomia, or big baby syndrome, so she could have a c-section, exposing her fallopian tubes so they could be tied.
Scalpels there weren't as sharp, and the stitches used in the procedure were a kind she hadn't seen in years. Still, Pike said, the baby boy was delivered successfully, and both mother and child were happy and healthy.
"It was kind of eye opening, operating in an environment without the same sterility," she said.
Morrow said the trip showed him how lucky Americans are.
Hospitals lacked air conditioning. Bugs flew in front of doctors' faces while they examined patients, and the working spaces were small, he said.
People often rode their motorcycles to the hospital's front doors and brought their dogs with them to appointments.
"There were lines where people waited to be seen for care, and those were only the people who could afford to pay for it," he said.
All said one of the most rewarding parts of the trip was bonding with the children at the orphanage and watching some sing in their first community choral competition - where the kids took second place in their division.
After that, leaving was hard, Romanoski said, because the kids welcome the attention - giving hugs, singing songs and calling the volunteers their aunts and uncles.
"You are part of their family as soon as you step foot on the property," he said. "There's no way you can come back untouched by what you see."

The Badische Weinstrasse (Badische Wine Road), a 160km-long waymarked route that winds through the foothills of the Black Forest, cuts through vineyards and past ruined castles on its way from Baden-Baden to Freiburg. It's an attractive alternative to the motorway corridor along the Rhine Valley for north- or south-bound travellers with time on their hands, and particularly those with an interest in sampling and buying fine wines.
The tiny town of Durbach, some 50km south of Baden-Baden along the Badische Weinstrasse, amid rolling vineyards and overlooked by the impressive Schloss Staufenberg, is a perfect stop and of particular interest to wine lovers for its excellent Durbacher Winzergenossenschaft (wine co-operative; Mon–Fri 8am–noon, Sat 9am–12.30pm), a shop with a great selection of distinguished and well-priced local wines that's liberal with its samples. It's signposted and just off the main road at the centre of Durbach.

And the walls came tumbling down
Lets recap. A couple of weeks ago I leapt screaming from the tub as the house crashed down around our ears. Only it wasnt the whole house, just one load-bearing wall. A heavy family portrait fell when the wall it was attached to suddenly bulged outward. The portrait ricocheted off a bookcase, cut a flip and hit the floor. I was sobbing and shards of glass glittered everywhere. Widdle looked at the wall, stepped back and said the curse: More renovations.
The cracked wall stayed in that condition for approximately two months. Thats right, the one wall everyone who enters the house is sure to see, and it was an eyesore for nine weeks. Now you know why we seldom entertain.
Finally, Widdles workmen were ready to start. They laid down plastic tarps, tore the wall out and said, Wow. What do you want us to do with this chimney flue? I flew to see the flue, made of antique brick. Tear it out and save the bricks, Widdle said, and they did.
For three days, I could not enter my bedroom or bathroom without stepping over two men, tarps, dust and piles of brick. I dont know about you, but I hit the loo about 20 times a day to brush my teeth, moisturize, put in contacts, replace soap and TP, bathe, clip my toenails, etc. etc. I go in my bedroom more often than that. The whole situation chafed my nerves, and Im sure my constant, tip-toeing presence chafed theirs as well.
Finally the bricks were out and the wall was done, with a charming alcove where the flue used to be. I was thrilled. Then Widdle said, The painter cant come for another week, and I was not as thrilled. But I hate empty space, so I went ahead and filled the alcove shelves with books, art and candles. The next night Widdle said, Good news! The painter can start tomorrow. I removed the books, art and candles.
Then came Clem, the Dalai Lama of painters. He was a wiry guy in his 60s. His task: Paint the alcove, the bathroom and the hallway walls. (Hed previously painted the exterior of the river shack for Widdle.)
Clem worked alone, arriving quietly by 8 a.m. and departing at 3:30 p.m. He did not stop for lunch, play a radio, or talk on his cell phone. He declined all offers of food and drink.
What he did, was paint. Hour after hour, calmly, with great precision and care, he painted. I never saw him use a roller. He didnt use painters tape. Never needed it, he said softly.
Clem covered the massive breakfront that couldnt be moved, laid down tarps and, when his day was done, swept and cleaned until we could have eaten off the floor.
His presence was so calming, I relaxed when he was around. Most people know that relaxed is not my normal state, which tells you how mellow Clem was. He was so quiet I started talking to him, and I dont talk to strangers who happen to be up in my house.
I learned that his son was a chef in California, and his wife is a practicing herbalist. He showed me a photo of his beloved Chihuahua. We talked about global warming and living in the boondocks.
Then, after three-and-a-half days, he was done. He folded up his tarps, cleaned up one last time and vanished.
Now I actually miss the calmness that was Clem. Dont tell Widdle, but I think the den needs painting, too.

(And if you know me, you know I just recently started putting her in the church nursery. She's 17 months old. It took baby steps.)
Ivy did great!
And so did I. The sitters were in a room directly above where all the sessions were, so it was close by and I could check in with her via Twitter (@EventSitters) as they'd DM me how she was doing. I loved this.
The final keynote on Saturday started late, and I knew I had to pick Ivy up by 6:30. My friend Jennifer (MckMama) hadn't even started speaking yet and I had to sneak out from my front row seat to get my Ivy girl.
I really wanted to be in there for the keynote, so I brought Ivy in and took a seat on the floor in the back. She nursed to sleep immediately.
And this was one of my favorite moments in all of Blissdom.
and that I could be holding Ivy while Jennifer told the story of her son Stellan,
and I was back there to see the hugs and tears (shed several of my own) when the video of us all holding messages for Anissa was played,
and it all felt like home again.
You might note that my experience at last year's BlogHer e.g. I Brought My Baby To BlogHer Part 2 is significantly different than bringing Ivy to Blissdom, but much of that is due to my own choices. Maybe I'll write about it in more depth at a later time, but, I did not put Ivy in childcare at BlogHer, and I wasn't as discerning about the parties I attended.
It (last year's BlogHer with a baby) was a learning adventure that I feel paved a smooth path for how I navigated Blissdom and many other events and situations from then on.
I'm working my way backwards as I recap Blissdom:
Blissdom, backwards. With a baby on my back.
That tonight's gonna be a good night.

Gia Allemand's boyfriend, Ryan Anderson, was brought to tears as he spoke publicly for the first time about how he was coping after her suicide.
The New Orleans Pelicans forward was the one who found the former Bachelor star, 29, in her apartment on Aug. 12, after she hanged herself, and the Times-Picayune reports that his grief was evident as he was interviewed Monday at a team media day.
"Every day is a challenge," he says. "It helps to be here. My family's with me. To be here with my teammates really helps a lot, but it's a roller-coaster."
Anderson performed CPR on his unconscious girlfriend before she was transported to hospital and placed on life support. She passed away two days later.
"Something like that just doesn't happen for no reason. And I know that ... there's ... a huge plan here ...," he said as he lost his composure and teared up.
Anderson explained that he's working on creating a foundation in Allemand's memory to help others battling depression and personal issues.
"A lot of people are going to be helped from this," he said. "We're in the process of starting something great for her with her family, including my family, too. We have a huge plan to do something great, great in her name that's going to help a lot of people."
Anderson's teammate Jason Smith says his friend is "doing a lot better."
"You never want to see anybody go through anything like that," he said. "He's made strides. He's always going to have something new every day. But I think he's strong enough to continue to work through it."

Franzen sure, but you want to get rid of Z who has been the only player worth a s***, and Datsyuk who up until 3 months ago was argued as the best player in the league.
Yes this team sucks, but you do something like that for one you put yourself in a whole you will probably never dig yourself out of, and pretty much destroy any rep. this team has..

Behind defense and goaltending, SPEED is the next most important asset in today's game.
All you have to do is look at the teams who are winning in the west..... excellent goaltending and defense with many young fast skaters.... LA, St. Louis, Nashville and Phoenix.
Wings have FOUR players on their team who are anything but young and fast..... FOUR is way too many... Franzen, Homer, Hudler and Bertuzzi. You may be able to get away with One or two slow or older skaters with less energy .... but if you can not roll line after line with energy and speed you will not survive..... plain and simple.
You need SIXTY minutes of energy and speed.... 40 minutes is no good.
Secondly, and this goes along with the speed, is the ability to kill penalties. The SAME slow skaters do not kill penalties. IMHO, if you do not have 10 skaters on the ice who are capable of killing penalties you are going to cause fatigue, injuries and exhaustion to your top players.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg have done yeoman's work. They are simply spending too much time killing penalties and should spend more of their ice time playing at even strength. It only makes common sense.
You don't trade Datsyuk and Zetterberg..... you dump Hudler and Homer to start and then you send Franzen and Bertuzzi for off-season speed skating and training because you know they won't be traded away.
Letting Stuart go and using Smith will also increase speed on defense.
Third, give more ice time to the speedsters..... put them up on line 1 and 2. Z, Filppula and Hudler were something like a MINUS 23 on the road early in the season.... and that has returned... and yet Babcock has kept that line together. This year Babcock has had the least line shuffling compared to any other year.... it was done only out of necessity when someone was injured.... that is a sign of a coach getting into a very stale pattern. Datsyuk with Helm, Abby or Miller on his line would have been interesting to see. Helm, Abby or Miller could have also been paired with Zetterberg. Filppula could have centered the third line..... separating your scorers so that 3 lines would have some scorers.
The top two lines, IMHO, were the worst top two lines the Wings have had in 18 years..... and it wasn't because of Datsyuk and Zetterberg but it was because of Bertuzzi, Franzen, Hudler and Filppula. If the Wings are depending on Filppula to lead them to a championship it will be a long wait.... he is a third line center at best.

You don't even consider getting rid of Z or Dats.

The restaurateur was found unconscious and not breathing at his Chicago home by his son, Dylan, the Chicago Tribune reports. An ambulance was called and Trotter was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"We are incredibly shocked and deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of Charlie at our home in Lincoln Park. He was much loved and words can not describe how much he will be missed," his wife, Rochelle, tells PEOPLE in a statement.
"Charlie was a trailblazer and introduced people to a new way of dining when he opened Charlie Trotter's. His impact upon American cuisine and the culinary world at large will always be remembered. We thank you so much for your kind words, love and support. We appreciate the respect for our privacy as we work through this difficult time."
Trotter – who hosted a PBS cooking show in the '90s and published more than a dozen cookbooks – closed his namesake restaurant last year and announced plans to pursue a master's degree in philosophy.
"I've always had a romantic vision that you can do anything you want at any time in your life," he told the New Yorker. "What's the worst that can happen? I can always be a cook."
Trotter's Michelin-starred restaurant, which opened in 1987, was a training ground for some of the country's best-known chefs including MasterChef judge Graham Elliot.
"Charlie was an extreme father figure to me when it came to not just cooking, but life, and seeing things in a different way," Elliot said. "I just can't put into words how saddened I am by all of this. It's a huge loss, not just personally, but for the culinary world."

Air quality and cows: What goes in could be the real problem
Air quality and cows: What goes in could be the real problem
Air quality researchers in California's San Joaquin Valley got an unexpected surprise recently when they accidentally discovered that what comes out of cows may not deserve nearly as much blame for the area's high ozone levels as it's been getting.
Instead, a bigger culprit may be what goes into them.
"Feed sources might be more important than all of the things we've been caring about in the past," said Michael Kleeman, a professor in the University of California, Davis Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. Kleeman heads a team of researchers who for four years has been studying ozone levels in the valley as it struggles to meet federally-mandated reductions. Significant control measures have been implemented, yet ozone levels remain largely unchanged.
Over the years, blame has shifted from one end of cows to the other, then to uncovered manure lagoons. Now, according to Kleeman's team, a bigger "smoking gun" for harmful air emissions is fermenting silage. Specifically, silage that is not stored in air-tight bags.
Action on the researcher's findings appeared to have been taken very seriously. Associated Press reports that the executive director of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District is planning to ask its board in June to require dairies to bag their silage.
