Skip to comments.British violent crime 4 times that in the US.
Posted on 12/20/2012 1:24:36 PM PST by Fido969
... there are over 2,000 crimes recorded per 100,000 population in the UK, making it the most violent place in Europe.
By comparison, America has an estimated rate of 466 violent crimes per 100,000 population.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Before everyone starts sneering at the violent Brits and cancelling their holidays to London or Scotland, let me point out one big fact about these figures.
The UK has TWENTY EIGHT violent offences on their various statute books. To take a boat out in dangerous weather against the crew's wishes is classed as assault against the person in the UK. I kid you not.
The UK therefore has far more violent offences on their books than the United States, and that completely changes any comparison, in fact it arguably renders it useless, certainly wholesale comparisons.
Of course the UK is going to look more violent if it has 2, 3, 4, 6 times the amount of violent offences on the statute books....
Yes, the UK is more violent than it once was, but there are another two facts again missing:
1—Most UK violent crimes are NOT against the person, but property. 2—The UK historically has had a very low rate of crime, minor or serious. Any rise has to be seen in that context.
Famously, LESS people died as a result of the 25 yrs of irish terrorism (IRA, UVF etc) in both NI and the British mainland than were murdered in single US cities like Detroit, NY or Chicago!.
Britain is still a safe country to live in. Common sense will tell you this, as it will that the UK is not 'far more violent' than the USA, Canada, France etc. Safer than 1970 or 1990?. No. But neither is it the violent hellhole these distorted figures show.
Let me end with these figures:
The US has a gun crime usage rate FORTY TIMES that of the UK (400,000 vs 10,000 in 2010).
The US has a gun murder rate SIXTEEN times that of the UK (15,000 vs 900).
75% of all serial killers live in the US (not my words, those of Robert Ressler)
The US murder rate is almost THREE times that of the UK (4.2 vs 1.2).
EVEN IF EXTRAPOLATED BY FIVE TO EQUAL BOTH POPULATIONS (300M VS 300M), the US gun crime rate would STILL be EIGHT times higher, and the gun murder rate would still be over THREE TIMES higher than the UK. And the US would still have the vast majority of the serial killers, as British serial killers are a tiny minority.
The rate of people killed by guns in the US is 19.5 times higher than similar high-income countries in the world.
Yes, there have been minor calls for banning certain knives, but nobody takes them seriously. Even the PC last Labour govt ignored such calls.
Kitchen knives etc are not banned in the UK. Nor will they ever be.
No, they didnt.
Thats a myth.
Assault rifles and most handguns are banned on the mainland. Rifles and shotguns are legal all over the UK. Handguns (and carry and conceal) are legal in Northern Ireland.
Not this crap again.
Read my replies to the others, I forgot to add you.
Shouldn't you be posting on Democrat 'Dummy' Underground?
Every friend of mine that has visited the UK in the last four years has said that all they heard was how hated President Bush was in the UK.
'Remind Brit commentators that Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom. How did gun control measures work there?'
And we will remind American commentators of the fact that less people died as a result of terrorism in NI (in fact NI and the British mainland) by all terror groups in the 25 years of the 'The Troubles' than were murdered in just ONE american city in just ONE year (such as Detroit, NY Chicago)....
Anyhow, another UK poster has already explained the NI gun laws.
Not crap, just a decision made by your leadership. It may turn out quite peaceful, in the end - although that, unfortunately, isn't the case usually - especially in the countries (and territories) that have already transitioned.
But you can take solace in Belgium beating you there, and maybe France. So there will trailblazers to learn from, and it may go well.
I do wish you guys luck.
Poor article by a journalist who doesnt even know how his own country's crime statistics are compiled and what constitutes violent crime in his own nation.
Are you going to actually respond to my points, or are you going to try and accuse me of being a liberal?.
Why?. Because I mention guns?. I am pro-guns, and pro-2nd. Also very pro-American and pro-Republican. I am a gun owning UK conservative and Eurosceptic.
I am merely responding using the figures regarding UK and US violence.
Keep your guns, get rid of them, I dont care. Its your choice. But I will step in where MY country's violence is being debated and distorted.
Bob, 96% of the UK is NOT Muslim. And parts of the UK like Scotland, Wales and NI are even less (0.16% are Muslim in Scotland). And the UK govt is RESTRICTING immigration.
We are not and are not being taken over, conquered, dhimmied etc.
scotsman, can you give us some insight as to what you are seeing in your large cities regarding real violent crime (not going out on a boat), gangs, guns etc. Thanks.
I'm not going to beat up on the Brits.
Remove all the urban areas from the world and the global crime rate will fall to under 10%.
"We are not and are not being taken over, conquered, dhimmied etc."
The transitions always start slow - but it's the trending that matters and how the natives handle it all. The last time I checked, you have Sharia zones in some neighborhoods. That's not good. And don't forget the birthrates and immigration rates. Finally, it's not me saying this will happen, it's your own Imams saying it...and they usually mean what they say.
However, the murder rate in Detroit was several hundred times higher than most of the other cities in Michigan.
Violent crime in America is limited to certain areas. The vast majority of Americans are honest and law abiding. People who want gun control and other government control ignore the fact that most Americans are not violent.
Chicago has had about 450 children shot so far this year. Chicago has extremely strict gun control probably similar if not stricter than Britain.
No one in government proposes any solutions other than more bureaucracy and more government control of honest law abiding citizens. No one in authority proposes actually cracking down on actual violent criminals.
The UK therefore has far more violent offences on their books than the United States, and that completely changes any comparison, in fact it arguably renders it useless, certainly wholesale comparisons. Of course the UK is going to look more violent if it has 2, 3, 4, 6 times the amount of violent offences on the statute books...If so, then the multitude of homosexuals in Scotland are driving the numbers up, all kinds of numbers. Yea - cancel that vacation to Scotland!
Gay men in Scotland are nearly eight times more likely to have attempted suicide in the past year
'The vast majority of Americans are honest and law abiding'
I agree. Please dont think I am saying or think Americans are all violent savages.
I have explained WHY the UK looks on paper to be the most violent Western nation.
And if the black, male, teenage gun homicide rate were removed from US statistics, our male, teenage gun homicide rate would be about the same as Switzerland's.
The REAL tragedy is that a lot of those homicides are committed by blacks against their neighbors.
LOL, I'm sorry, I stopped taking your links seriously when I read that South Africa has a lower violent crime rate than Britain.
We can do that ethnicity by ethnicity, right on down through Ibo in Nigeria, and Chinese from Shanghai, or from Canton, or Overseas Chinese.
Then there are the Japanese Americans ~ one criminal in nearly a century!
The Democrat party, though, claims that only by disarming the Republicans will they be safe.
These are articles in British newspapers that cite studies by British "experts" and and quotes from British public figures. I don't know if the articles are accurate or not. I just wanted to show you what your countrymen are saying.
There are many more articles in British publications that say essentially the same thing.
Is there someone who can't find electrical ties
20 children shot in Connecticutt and the politicians and MSM won't shut up.
We are subject to the constant repetition of the lie that America is bad, that it is the fault of law abiding people and that all gun owners are violent crazies.
All law abiding citizens are accused of not caring about children or wanting to kill children if they disagree with any proposal for more government control.
It's that way all across the board. Americans of any particular ethnicity are less violent than their kin back in the old homeland.
South Africa is one of those places you have to count ethnicity by ethnicity, and be sure to leave out the INDEPENDENT COUNTRIES inside its borders.
So, it's not 20 kids per annum, it's 1/18 of a kid per year in Newtown. Chicago's annual rate is nearly 500 ~ or somewhere between 2000X and 9000X as high as that of Newtown!
Obamugabe wants you to keep focused on Newtown
No one is sneering. Gasping in astonishment maybe.
.To take a boat out in dangerous weather against the crews wishes is classed as assault against the person in the UK.
Well yeah. I would be very surprised to learn that kind of behavior would NOT be a crime in the US.
The UK has TWENTY EIGHT violent offences on their various statute books
So...care to guess how many in the 50 states?
It would make an interesting comparison, but you don't have one.
On the very same page as this article there are links to stories related to the killing of two unarmed cops in Manchester.
The two unarmed police constables killed attending a 'routine incident' have been named by Greater Manchester Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahey as Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23 [pictured above]. Sir Peter paid tribute to Miss Hughes, describing her as a 'chatterbox' and a 'great bobby' who was 'always smiling'.
Sir Peter said Miss Bone was a calm, gentle woman, an excellent bobby and had been in the middle of planning her wedding.
One of the country's most wanted men is believed to have lured the two unarmed female constables to their deaths. Dale Cregan is thought to have made a bogus burglary report then attacked the officers, opening fire with a gun and a grenade.
Eyewitnesses said a hail of bullets was fired and a grenade was thrown during the attack in Hattersley, Greater Manchester, shortly before 11am. One of the officers died at the scene. The second was critically injured and died later."
We learn that Cregan is wanted and on the loose for two other murders involving guns and explosives:
Cregan, pictured above, had been the subject of a huge manhunt after the murders of David Short, 46, and his son Mark, 23. A £50,000 reward had been offered for information leading to his arrest.
A one-eyed man is at the centre of a manhunt after a grieving father was brutally executed just weeks after his son was shot dead.
David Short, 47, was gunned down at his terraced home in Clayton, Manchester, after branding as 'cowards' the killers of his 23-year-old son Mark.
There was an explosion at the house caused by a grenade and within minutes there was another grenade attack and shots reportedly fired at a property in Droylsden, east of the city.
The shooting and grenade attacks happened as two men appeared in court charged with Mark's murder. He was blasted to death 10 weeks ago while playing pool with his friends in a crowded pub.
Yesterday his father was shot dead by two masked men just yards from where children were playing in a park.
The gunmen were seen running from the house after neighbours heard shots.

We could talk a lot about the differences between us, but we would be dealing with a lot of impressions and emotions.
My impressions? If this string of crimes had happened in the US, we would be asking "Why?" and "Where did we go wrong?"
I never see that in the discussion of British crimes. I find most Brits to be appallingly apathetic on the subject. It's as if the matter was closed, you have your solutions, and nothing more can be done.
You have unarmed cops shot to death, a young man blown-up inside a pub, and his father shot to death in a home invasion.
Pardon me if I don't look to you for solutions.
For the record, Cregan is not still on the loose. He walked into a police station and surrendered himself an hour after the officers were killed.
Mexico, Brazil, Columbia and Venezuela have all had more firearms deaths than the US, and all have a fraction of the guns per capita. Switzerland, Serbia, Finland, Cypress, Uruguay and many other countries have high rates of gun ownership, and each has less than 100 firearm murders per year.
The collaltion between gun ownership and gun deaths just isn't there.
Its the Daily Mail, a notoriously hysterical tabloid that prioritises sensationalism over facts, and will distort and twist the facts to make headlines such as BRITAIN MORE VIOLENT THAN SOUTH AFRICA!!!ONE1
Reading between the lines, I would guess that the truth is more like that Britain has a lot more reported 'violent' crimes such as common assault and more crimes on the books that are considered to be violent crimes than in South Africa.
But come on, if you seriously believe that Britain is more violent a country that is not only notorious for its high levels of rape, carjackings and home invasions, but such is the violence against white settlers that South Africa is actually considered by organisations such as genocidewatch to be at stage 6 (of 8) in terms of how at risk the white community is at in that country.
So yes, you will forgive me if I take the Daily Wail's assertions that Britain is more violent than South Africa with a very large dump truck full of salt...
Your points are all well taken. In my original post, I noted that definitions and categorizations as "violent crime" vary.
I think it would be useful if you are going to compare murder rates between UK and US to use total murder rates rather than gun murder rates. Guns being less widely available, it's reasonable to expect that the gun murder rate would be higher in US.
But I doubt it makes much difference to the victim whether he's murdered with a gun or a cricket bat.
But, as we've discussed in another thread, a gun is an effective force multiplier. There is no way that Lanza nutcase could have killed all those people if he'd been armed with a cricket bat. Guns make killing so much easier, both physically and psychologically, this is an indisputable fact that needs to be admitted openly.
Having said that, I'm not arguing that guns should be banned in the US, I don't think that gun control is any kind of solution when it comes to the US. I know for sure that if I was living in America, I'd make damn sure I had a C&C license and I would campaign against 'gun free zones', which are stupid.
In Britain, its a bit different, we are an island, and its much harder to get hold of illegal weapons so gun control is a more practical option here (at least in the sense of stopping crazies going on rampages), whether it is a just and reasonable response to stop people being able to own guns just because some innocents are occasionally killed/injured by them is another matter, and its one I'm on the fence over in a British context. I certainly would miss Britain not being able to have an unarmed police force, especially in light of stories like this:
Well that was very obliging of him. ;)
I think your positions are quite reasonable.
Too many US supporters of gun rights refuse to recognize the, to me, obvious fact that more guns = greater likelihood of a nutjob getting hold of one and doing something like this. Or that some guns make doing so a whole lot more efficient than other guns.
Does a widely armed populace increase or decrease crime in general? Don't know, and I doubt anybody does.
But it certainly makes access to guns effective for spree killings easier.
So what?
Easy access to liquor and naive women make it too easy for Kennedys to rape and kill. Want to outlaw them?
There's a reason there would not have been a Constitution without the RTKBA.
Sydney Australia has one of the lowest crime rates in the world and guns are banned, too. Standard of living is higher and standard of education is higher. Maybe that's a factor.
Would you care to point out anywhere I've suggested banning guns?
I commented on the fact that widely available guns have costs as well as benefits. One of those costs is easier access to guns by nutjobs.
What are Sydney's demographics?
Are your serious? 7 million people more ethically diverse than in any city in the US. Prior WWII, Sydney was the 3rd largest speaking Italian city city in the world, personally, I doubt if it still holds that honor. Large Asian influences. High standard of education. Sydney-siders love their opera and ballet. I can't think of another city on the planet that loves their culture as much as the Aussies. You have not lived until you have had an evening at the Sydney Opera House. One of the lowest crime rates of any city. Its not the banning of guns, its the education of the populace.
'So...care to guess how many in the 50 states?
It would make an interesting comparison, but you don't have one.'
My understanding was/is that there would much less than 28 different 'violent' offences on US state statute books.
'My impressions? If this string of crimes had happened in the US, we would be asking "Why?" and "Where did we go wrong?" '
Really?. You have just had twenty little children blasted to death, and the biggest ire seems to be about keeping weapons....
'I never see that in the discussion of British crimes. I find most Brits to be appallingly apathetic on the subject. It's as if the matter was closed, you have your solutions, and nothing more can be done.'
We arent apathetic, people here were sick and angry at what happened to the two PC's, just as we are when there are violent murders, of adults or children.
Perhaps the average Brit should get more angry, but you have to remember that, for all the hype, the UK actually is not a seriously violent nation. Most violent offences are against property. Violence against the person in the UK are about 70% fueled by alcohol and happen at the weekend.
And the UK historically has had a very low rate of crime, let alone murder. Hence the shock in America and elsewhere when the UK figures rocketed.
We simply dont have the amount of people being murdered by gun or other weapons, England and Wales (pop. 50 million) had 550 murders last year, Scotland (pop 5m) had 95, NI (pop 1.5m) had even less.
So the UK, with a population of over 60 million, had less than 700 murders.
Does that sound like a violent nation?.
'Pardon me if I don't look to you for solutions.'
Right back at you.
The major cities (London, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Carfiff, Swansea etc) have always had organised crime and always will. They run the usual: drugs, women, gambling.
Gangs also have existed for 100 years in major cities. Where they used the knife and still do, guns are more prevalent. Like you, we have a young violent core who have watched too many films and carry around guns like they are straight outta Compton....
In some cities, that core is black kids. In some, its white. In others, its a mix.
They are certainly more violent than they were, more disposed to use guns, although murders between gangs is still low and would be seen by you as an American, as ridiculously low. Guns used tend to be handguns and occ. shotguns as opposed to Uzis, assault rifles, although those are sometimes used by younger gang members.
The organised crime and the city gang violence has risen and is a serious problem. But it is still probably ridiculously low by comparison with US gang culture/murder/death. The UK (pop 60m) had less than 700 murders last year.
Just a caveat. It says "recorded" crime.

Another government nanny
Editor: If you are a taxpaying citizen of St. Johns County, beware!
Editor: Wow, is this an interesting local election or what? There should be some Florida Association of Counties award that we could receive for being a small county that has one sitting commissioner being investigated for multiple felony crimes and another wanna-be-commissioner in the general election, having just been released from a 100-day jail sentence for conviction of assaulting his victim in a local hardware store parking lot with a can of bug killer! What a cockroach!
Once again our Sheriff's Office has managed to make the national stage, and once again the people of St. Johns County are forced to hang their heads in shame. We have suffered in the past, suicide/homicide debacles, questionable civilian shootings, racially-motivated police beat-downs and other incidents of notoriety and questionable constitutional violations.
Once again, your Constitution is on the line. It's the only document that protects your personal freedoms and the piece of paper that millions of American men and women have bled and died defending.
Editor: In the past few days, through Congressional hearings, I discovered that one of the considerations taken into account in our recent deaths of Americans to Muslim fighters in Libya, was the cost of security for the slaughtered men. Then I learn on national news channels that we have enough money to supply the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood with a flock of advanced F-16 Falcons and 200 Abrams tanks!
Over the bedroom door of the 6 year old that his Nana and I are raising is a sign that reads, "Thou Shalt Not Whine." It has been there since he was battling the "terrible 2s" and he is mostly cured of the ugly habit. We are still working on other positive adult attributes such as telling the truth, accepting responsibility, along with the value of trust, honor and integrity, the building blocks of solid character.
Which brings me to the point of this commentary; the latest ugly whining tirade in print made by Cyndi Stevenson.
One sunny morning, a newly born baby rhinoceros and his mother were walking through the bush in search of the morning meal, when they happened upon a makeup mirror that had been left at a campsite by a careless eco-tourist. The baby rhino looked down curiously at the mirror and blinked his moist eyes.
They are counting on you not nailing their coffins shut. They are counting on you letting them creep from their political gravesites and come back into your lives.

Basic Meatball Recipe
Yield: Serves 6 for dinner, 8 for buffet
- 1-1/2 cups bread crumbs soaked in 3/4 cup milk or tomato juice, or 1-1/2 cups dry stuffing mix soaked in 3 cups liquid
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 large onion, chopped and sauteed in 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds ground beef, or 1 pound beef, 1/2 pound ground pork, and 1/2 pound ground veal
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- butter for sautéeing meatballs
- Optional Additions (use only 1 per batch); 4 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese with 1 tablespoon mixed Italian seasoning; 1 cup applesauce with 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, mace, or allspice; 2 tablespoons steak sauce or Worcestershire sauce
InstructionsMix soaked bread crumbs, eggs, and onion in large bowl. Mixture will be runny. Mix in all the ground meat, salt. pepper, and any optional addition you choose to use. If mixture is too stiff, add a little more liquid until manageable. Roll into small meatballs, using about I rounded teaspoon of meat for each Swedish meatball, 1 rounded tablespoon for Italian meatballs. Sauté in large frying pan in butter, turning frequently to brown evenly and to keep them rounded. (It will probably take 3 pansful to use up all the meat. It makes a LOT, but you will be amazed how fast they disappear.) Lift out meatballs carefully when done and do next panful in the same butter, especially if you are going to freeze them.
If you want to freeze them raw, paper plates work well as a base, but be careful not to freeze them in a lump - they'll be almost impossible to get apart. Put the raw meatballs in a bull's-eye pattern on the plate, slip into a freezer bag or cover with transparent wrap, and freeze. Makes 48 small meatballs.

125,746 racing fans attended 77th running of the Japanese Derby, the pinnacle race for 3yo colts and fillies, at Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu City on a cool and cloudy Sunday. Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) third-place finisher Eishin Flash and Rose Kingdom, 2-year-old champion and fourth in the Satsuki Sho, turned the tables against two strong favorites, unbeaten Pelusa (by Zenno Rob Roy) and Satsuki Sho victor, Victoire Pisa (by Neo Universe), as a slow pace and a slow break wreaked havoc through the ranks of the 77th running of the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby).
Eishin Flash, with Hiroyuki Uchida up, broke from the No. 1 slot and waited patiently mid pack to make their move. Having saved energy over a 1:01.6 first 1,000 meters, he had what it took for a blistering finish that took him over the final 600 meters in 32.7 seconds. He reached the wire a neck ahead of runnerup and race fifth choice Rose Kingdom, who had also come from midfield..
With no front runners, three horses – Aliseo, Cosmo Phantom, and Meisho Uzushio -- bunched in front and pushed early fractions to 12.8 - 13.5 - 13.1. Race favorite Pelusa, who went to the gate an unbeaten 4 for 4, suffered a late break for which he paid dearly. Having to make up ground despite the slow early pace, jockey Norihiro Yokoyama chose to hold Pelusa three off the rear and inched forward going into the bend, then drove for home up the outside but to no avail, finishing in sixth place.
Second choice Victoire Pisa fared better having stayed nearer the front but unable to cope well with the slow pace and finished third place a length and three-quarters behind Rose Kingdom.
In fourth place was Gestalt, with Rulership just making the board in fifth place. Eishin Flash covered the 2,400 meters of fast turf in 2 minutes 26.9 seconds.
It was the first win of the Derby for both rider Hiroyuki Uchida and trainer Hideaki Fujiwara. It was only the fifth top-level victory for Uchida thus far. Though the fans met the winning pair at the finish line with less than unbridled enthusiasm, Uchida let nothing spoil his moment. Shaking his fist repeatedly in triumph, he looked to be thoroughly enjoying his moment in the sun. It was the 39-year-old Uchida's sixth try at the Derby. His best thus far had been a fifth-place last year. Later he admitted it was a dreamlike moment. "Even though I know I've won, it hasn't really sunk in." The pair were met back at the weighing room by teary-eyed stable staff as Uchida raised and shook his outstretched arms high above his head before dismounting.
Leading jockey last year, Uchida was injured early this year and forced to sit out some two months before returning to racing. He failed to perform well, however, and Sunday made a point of speaking to the fans before commenting on his Derby win. "I'd had a lot happen this year and my body just wouldn't do what I asked it to," he said. "I felt bad for the fans and am glad I can finally give them some good results. I hope that I can continue to give them the kind of results they expect of me."
In the dark bay Eishin Flash, Uchida said, he had had total confidence and the slow pace had not shaken him as they waited to move. "There was no reason to move him forward early. I knew there were very good horses in front so wasn't worried about getting caught behind a wall. I knew he had what it took to turn in a good finish."
Eishin Flash, by King's Best out of the Platini mare Moonlady, was bred at Shadai Farm in Hokkaido. He is now 4 for 7 with just under 274 million in earnings. The win of the Derby alone as worth 150 million yen.
The return on the No. 1 ticket to win paid 3,190 yen. The winning exacta 1-8 returned 46,210 yen and the winning trifecta 1-8-7 was worth 152,910 yen on a 100-yen wager.

Donald Glover's Atlanta Had the Highest Ratings For a Comedy on FX in Years
Atlanta's mysterious, beautiful trailers paid off. Lots of people wanted to know a little bit more about what this show even was other than slow pans across the landscape.
Atlanta's mysterious, beautiful trailers paid off. Lots of people wanted to know a little bit more about what this show even was other than slow pans across the landscape.
Empire has officially triumphed over what is perhaps the most confusingly popular show to ever exist on television.
This Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony—hosted by #1 Neil Patrick Harris fan, Neil Patrick Harris—received the lowest ratings of any Oscars broadcast since Hugh Jackman hosted in 2009. That means more people tuned in to watch James Franco and Anne Hathaway's hosting debacle in 2011 than they did this weekend. Ouch.
Remember the olden days, when a strategically-shadowed butt appeared on your TV only on late night television on weekends? Well, now the networks are pushing all the limits, fighting for your ratings by featuring the only things that matter to you: Anal and butt punching.
To some, The View is simply a daytime talk show to fold laundry to. To others, it is a modern day Shakespearean play that we're watching unfold in real time. The show has had its comedic moments, at times it feels like a tragedy and there's even a bit of romance. And now, we have yet another page in saga of 4-5 women…
ABC must be feeling quite happy with turning Thursday nights into Shondaland. Last night was the premiere of three back-to-back Shonda Rhimes-created dramas and every one delivered monster ratings.
Discovery Channel's Shark Week got an extra boost from female viewers this year, attracting more women ages 18-49 than ever before. Probably because "shark week" = periods, AMMIRITE, LADEEEEEEZ?
For those who don't live in the Chicago, Illinois area, you might not be aware that Jenny McCarthy has a column for the Chicago Sun-Times' lifestyle section Splash. Her appointment to said position was not without criticism; as Chicago media columnist Robert Feder wrote at the time, "That sound you're hearing is Mike…
Lifetime's Steel Magnolias teleplay became the network's third-most-watched tele-event ever, transfixing 6.5 million viewers over the weekend. That wasn't enough to dethrone Lifetime's most popular TV offering, 2006's Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story, which has coincidentally reigned the numero uno…
PBS has released its ratings numbers for Season 2 of Downton Abbey and, to some mild and socially restrained surprise, viewership among the male 18-34 demographic, — the same demographic largely to blame for the Entourage phenomenon — jumped up 100 percent, matching the rise in viewership among 18-34-year-old women as…
The movie Bully was (at least according to its distributors) intended to start conversations among teens about bullying and its consequences. But now that it's rated R, many teens might not get to see it. And so begins a weird power struggle over a film that was supposed to be uplifting.
On Sunday Hannah Montana's final episode attracted 6.2 million viewers, a 9% increase over its season average. The episode got mixed reviews from tweens, who were confused by Hannah sporting increasingly racy outfits and ritualistically burning Mickey Mouse ears.
Remember how the MPAA made Ryan Gosling so appealingly sad about the patriarchy? It's still inscrutable what exactly got got his and Michelle Williams' Blue Valentine that NC-17 rating, but finally, here are some clues.
After a record-setting premier, ratings for Sarah Palin's Alaska have dropped 40%. Shockingly, people may have tuned into the first episode out of "sheer curiosity rather than eagerness to see an Alaska-based travelogue reality show."
Ryan Gosling is not just a very attractive man, or a good actor. He is an attractive man who issues statements that include the sentence, "It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self."
Judge Judy was the top-rated daytime show of the 2009-2010 season, averaging 6.5 million viewers. That's 600,000 more viewers than Oprah, which has been in the number one spot since 2002.
In a poll, 40 percent of respondents said they're tired of reality TV, calling it the most overdone television genre. However, 15 of this summer's 20 highest-rated programs, including Jersey Shore, Big Brother, and America's Got Talent, were reality shows.
In case you forgot who we really elected, here's a gentle reminder: Michelle Obama's poll numbers are falling. Politico wonders, is she doing too much gardening - or too little? And for god's sake, what's her stance on crime? [Politico]

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann tonight warned an audience of influential Iowa Republicans that the United States was in danger of handing a less prosperous nation to the next generation.
In her speech to about 250 GOP activists, Bachmann warned that the federal government had spent too much and expanded its reach, referring to the bailout of the banking and auto industries, to the point that future generations' prosperity was at risk.
"The iceberg is straight in front of us. We can all see this iceberg," Bachmann said during the 40-minute speech at a downtown Des Moines hotel. "And we like fools are pointing the ship directly into it."
Bachmann was speaking at a reception for Iowans for Tax Relief, an anti-tax advocacy group and political player with a membership list of 55,000 activists.
Bachmann was making her first trip to Iowa, the leadoff presidential caucus state in 2012, just two weeks after saying she was weighing a White House campaign.
She joked at the beginning of the speech, covered by a corps of roughly 50 Iowa, Minnesota and national media, that she had a big announcement.
"I know that there has been a lot of speculation," she said. "It is with pride I announce in Iowa — it's really good to be home."
Bachmann is a Waterloo native who spent her childhood in Cedar Falls. She moved to Minnesota with her family when she was 12 years old.
She stopped short of saying whether she would run. But the speech had a campaign flavor.
"It is in your hands, Iowans, that this question will be decided," Bachmann said, referring to the 2012 presidential nomination. "You will be the ones who decide. And that is why I am so excited because I feel like I know you, because I was born here. I was raised here. These are my values. I feel like we understand each other and I trust you with that decision."

Mapping Canada's Music
Selected Writings of Helmut Kallmann

Winner of the 2013 Carol June Bradley Award for Historical Research in Music Librarianship (Music Library Association)
Mapping Canada's Music is a selection of writings by the late Canadian music librarian and historian Helmut Kallmann (1922–2012). Most of the essays deal with aspects of Canadian music, but some are also autobiographical, including one written during retirement in which Kallmann recalls growing up in a middle-class Jewish family in 1930s Berlin under the spectre of Nazism.
Of the seventeen selected writings by Kallmann, five have never before been published; many of the others are from difficult-to-locate sources. They include critical and research essays, reports, reflections, and memoirs. Each chapter is prefaced with an introduction by the editors. Two initial chapters offer a biography of Kallmann and an assessment of his contributions to Canadian music.
The variety, breadth, and scope of these writings confirm Kallmann's pioneering role in Canadian music research and the importance of his legacy to the cultural life of his adopted country. In the current climate of cuts to archival collections and services, the publication of these essays by and about a pre-eminent collector and historian serves as a timely reminder of the importance of cultural memory.
Born in Berlin in 1922, Helmut Kallmann lost his mother, father, and sister in the Holocaust. He was sent to England on the Kindertransport and later to Canada, where he was interned as an enemy alien from 1940 to 1943. After graduating from university with a B.Mus., Kallmann worked from 1950 to 1970 at the CBC Toronto Music Library. In 1970 he was appointed chief of the newly created music division of the National Library, where he developed the plan for the collection and preservation of musical Canadiana and curated several exhibitions. In retirement he produced a newsletter for those who were interned with him in Canada, and assisted the Berlin government with exhibitions documenting the lives of Jewish residents in his childhood neighbourhood. He received the Order of Canada in 1977.
In his sixty-year career, John Beckwith has drawn attention with performances, broadcasts, and recordings of his more than 150 compositions and with his critical and research writings on personalities and issues of Canadian music past and present. Associated from 1952 to 1990 with the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, he was a witness of, and often a participant in, "the excitement of new creative directions in theatre, painting, and music" (as he once put it) of late-twentieth-century Canada. John Beckwith is a member of the Order of Canada and holds honorary doctorates from five universities.
Robin Elliott holds the Jean A. Chalmers Chair in Canadian Music at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto. He recently co-edited two books for WLU Press, Music Traditions, Cultures, and Contexts (with Gordon E. Smith, 2010) and Centre and Periphery, Roots and Exile: Interpreting the Music of István Anhalt, György Kurtág, and Sándor Veress (with Friedemann Sallis and Kenneth DeLong, 2011).
"All of the essays address various aspects of Canadian music, making them significant for the scholar. Particularly useful are the half- to full-page introductions by the editors that contextualize each essay.... This book is far more than a collection of essays. The various chapters provide perspectives on a vast range of topics by Canada's seminal music historian. At the same time, the book vividly reinforces what is both unique and vital about Canada's musical culture."
— Edward Jurkowski, University of Lethbridge, Canadian Association of Music Libraries Review
"Elliott and Beckwith have collected an insightful guidebook, invaluable to anyone with an interest in this country's art music. There is a deeply human side to this book as well, one that transcends Kallmann's specific personal and professional preoccupations and places this quiet, old soul at the centre of the greatest horrors of the 20th century.... But Kallmann's enduring legacy is in helping create the infrastructure we all need to know who Canadian composers are, what they have written, who performed these works, and how all of this fits into a larger performing-arts context. Beckwith and Elliott have sifted through Kallmann's essays and papers well and wisely to provide a multi-faceted appreciation of someone never seen in a spotlight."
— John Terauds, Musical Toronto
"This new book Mapping Canada's Music, is perhaps the best possible tribute to Kallmann.... The Wilfrid Laurier University Press deserves much praise for taking on this very worthy project.... This relatively small university press has rapidly carved out a niche with a number of titles on music in postwar Canada, among them In Search of Alberto Guerrero (2006), Music Traditions, Cultures, and Contexts (2010), Weinzweig (2011), and Beckwith's memoirs, Unheard Of (2012). The WLU Press has just issued Out of Time (2013), the biography of another Nazi-era refugee, the conductor, Georg Tintner. These twenty-first century assessments of recent history come not a moment too soon and have much to say about music and imagination in twentieth-century Canada. Both Centre and Periphery, Roots and Exile and Mapping Canada's Music tell the stories of individuals uprooted and forced to find new beginnings in a country that was accepting of their talents and that was enriched by their contributions."
— Brian C. Thompson, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Fontes Artis Musicae
"Kallmann's methodology as a historican is an interesting mix of old and new approaches.... He realized early on ... that in the absence of 'creative giants' like Bach or Mozart, Canadian music history would be focused primarily on social and cultural aspects of musical activity, and less on 'artistic aspects' (p. 44). He did not bemoan this fact (as some might have during this era) but embraced it, continually asking what meaning music held for Canadians over the centuries rather than searching for Canada's Beethoven.... In coediting the EMC, he insisted that classical, popular, and folk traditions all be included. Given the pioneering role Kallmann played, these methodological decisions had an enormous effect on the shape and scope of the field; the 'map' of Canada's musical past that he created had a place for the musical activities of just about everyone.... If it was his goal to lay foundations for future scholars, he was undoubtedly successful. In the first place, his own writing (the full list of his writings given at the end of the book is impressively vast and diverse) showed us that Canadian music history research was possible and whetted our appetites to learn more. Indeed, one reason for those in the field to read this collection is to stimulate ideas for new paths of research. But more profoundly, because of his involvement in the huge pioneering projects described above (the History, the EMC, and his work as archivist at the National Library in particualar) it is now difficult to explore a topic in Canadian music history without using a source that has been touched (directly or indirectly) by Kallmann's initial efforts.... This book ... is essential reading for those interested in Canadian music history but will also appeal to those with an interest in music librarianship, historiography, North American colonial and cultural history, and biography.... The overall picture of a new field being born in the hands of a man with a fascinating life story will have wide appeal."

Bursting out her front door and running toward her bicycle, Kelsi Fortenberry looks like a typical 10-year-old.
Wearing jeans, a shirt and shiny white tennis shoes, she zips down the driveway and speeds down the sidewalk.
She plays soccer and softball and "swims like a fish," according to great-grandmother Mary Bostick of Amarillo.
But when Kelsi was born, father Shawn Fortenberry found it hard to believe that she'd even be able to walk, let alone run or ride a bicycle. But she can, thanks to multiple operations and manipulation through leg- and foot-casts.
Kelsi was born with clubfoot, a genetic deformity that caused her feet and ankles to curl inward and downward rather than growing straight. At birth, her feet curled under her pelvis, bending from the knee.
"When she was born, they were literally curled all the way upside down." Fortenberry said. "If she had walked, she would have walked on the top of her feet."
She had her first surgery in Lubbock at only a few weeks old and another at age 1 at Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo. She wore a series of casts on her legs and feet through age 3. She learned to crawl dragging leg casts.
Kelsi got a referral at age 18 months to the Houston Shriners Hospital, a 40-bed pediatric orthopedic hospital providing comprehensive orthopedic care to children at no charge.
As she grew, Shriners experts replaced her casts, bending and twisting the feet to straighten them more each time before recasting.
"She couldn't walk at all when she started," Bostick said. "And now, she can do almost anything except long runs. She's amazing, and the Shriners are, too."
Kelsi's most recent surgery at the Houston Shriners Hospital was in December. Doctors removed bone from the outside of her foot, adding it to the inside of her foot and lengthening the Achilles tendon.
They told her that she could go home as soon as she walked on her casts.
"I walked three days after my surgery in December," Kelsi said.
The constant casting and repeated surgeries don't appear to have affected Kelsi's attitude or actions.
"It's never slowed her down," Fortenberry said.
Fortenberry never tried to stop his daughter from trying something new.
"If she wanted to do it, we let her try," the father said.
But should Fortenberry ever get discouraged by his daughter's disability, a trip to the Houston Shriners Hospital adjusts his attitude immediately.
"I always thought Kelsi had a lot of problems until I got down there," he said. "God sure does bless all of those little kids."
He said he feels fortunate that his daughter started medical procedures at such a young age, and he's grateful to be associated with the Shriners facility.
An electrician by trade, Fortenberry doesn't know how he would have paid for Kelsi's multiple surgeries and ongoing checkups.
"Every one of her surgeries has been like $80,000," Fortenberry said.
And as to peer embarrassment from her disability, Kelsi also has been lucky. She recalled only one derogatory comment from a schoolmate. And when she came home in a wheelchair last winter, students at her school were so anxious to push her around that they had to sign up for turns.
But Kelsi hopes to abandon the wheelchairs and the braces soon, something that Fortenberry says should happen when her feet quit growing.
"By 12, I'm pretty sure my feet will be like normal," Kelsi said.

Fourth in a series of profiles highlighting members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2013.
ÂSPRINGFIELD – Gary Payton was one of the top basketball prospects in the country coming out of high school, coveted by coaches throughout the country. But when it came time to choose a college, Payton found that the decision wasn't totally in his hands.
At the 11th hour, just as he was about to tell the world he would be going to St. John's of the Big East, the 2013 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee had the rug pulled out from under him at his public signing ceremony.
"My coach, Fred Noel, came over while I was at the podium and whispered in my ear 'come here for a second' and took me back into the office," Payton said during a visit to the Hall of Fame in early August. "I picked up the phone and it was Lou Carnesecca, who was the coach at St. John's at the time. He said he was very sorry, he could not take me, and he wasn't going to offer me a scholarship because he had a guy from out east that he had to take."
Carnesecca had never recruited a player west of the Mississippi River and taking Payton would have threatened the recruiting network he had built. The last-minute news destroyed Payton emotionally.
So Payton made a decision. He decided he was not going to decide.
Instead, he turned the process over to his mother, Annie, citing his youth and naiveté as reasons why the process did not work out the first time.
"I told her, 'I tried to do this on my own, I really want you to make the decision on where I go.' So we set up another press conference and I got up there and said, 'I'm going to be honest with you, I really don't know where I'm going. I'm going to open this envelope and where my mom picked for me to go I'm going.'
"I opened it up and it said 'Oregon State.'"
This time everything worked out. Payton went on to lead Oregon State to three NCAA Tournament appearances while garnering every award the Pac-10 could offer and breaking almost every school individual records, all while striving to prove to Carnesecca that he had made a mistake.
In an era of one-and-done college players, nationally televised signing ceremonies and Twitter campaigns to sway high school players, Payton's story is a reminder of a time when geography mattered and talent alone did not give a player the keys to their future.
Just like Corvallis was the right place for Payton to begin his college career he thrived in the NBA,when he was drafted with the second overall pick in 1990 by the Seattle SuperSonics. By the time he left the Sonics 12 1/2 seasons later, he held team records for points, assists and steals. He has also played with the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
Widely known as "The Glove" for his defensive prowess, he remains the only guard to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. He made the NBA All-Defensive First Team nine times, was a nine-time NBA All-Star and a nine-time All-NBA Team member.

The deadly listeria outbreak in cantaloupe was probably caused by old, hard to clean packing equipment at a Colorado farm, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
The deadliest outbreak of foodborne illness in more than 25 years claimed 25 lives as a result of the contamination.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 123 people were also sickened in the outbreak.
The farm had recently purchased used equipment that was corroded, dirty and hard to clean. The packing facility floors were also difficult to clean, allowing pools of water potentially harboring the bacteria to form close to the packing equipment.
For More Information:
The new revelations are included in the FDA's six-page assessment of the conditions at the farm and are based on investigators' visits in late September.
The equipment -- purchased in July, the same month the outbreak started -- was previously used for a different agricultural commodity, the agency said, and the listeria "could have been introduced as a result of past use of the equipment," according to the report.
The FDA said that samples of cantaloupes in Jensen Farms' fields were negative for listeria, but bacteria coming off the field may have initially introduced the pathogen into the packing house, where it then spread.
Listeria contamination often comes from animal feces or decaying vegetation.
The report also cited another possible source of contamination -- a truck that frequently hauled cantaloupe to a cattle operation and was parked near the packing house.
Contamination could have been tracked into the house by people or equipment, according to the FDA.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Doug Janik became the first player in franchise history to score on a penalty shot in overtime, which gave the Grand Rapids Griffins a hard-fought 5-4 victory over the Rochester Americans on Tuesday night at Blue Cross Arena.
Grand Rapids (33-29-7-4) kept its playoff hopes alive, but it must win its last three games and get help from other Western Conference teams to earn a postseason berth. The overtime loss moved Rochester (34-26-10-4) into a five-team logjam with Milwaukee, Houston, Peoria and Lake Erie as it battles for one of the final playoff positions.
Rochester's Corey Tropp found the back of the net twice in just under three minutes to put the home team up two goals in the first period. Tropp struck at 12:54 of the opening frame when he caught the Griffins off guard during a line change and snapped a wrist shot over the glove of Tom McCollum. He added his second at 15:47, tapping home a long centering feed from Paul Szczechura for his ninth goal of the season.
The Griffins answered with two goals in 44 seconds to level the game at two before the first intermission. Tomas Tatar found Garnet Exelby open at the point, and the captain's long snap shot fooled Americans goaltender David Leggio and brought the team within one at 16:46. At 17:30, Logan Pyett made a savvy play at the blue line to get the puck deep to Tatar, who beat Leggio for his 21st goal of the season.
Fabian Brunnstrom registered his 12th goal of the season at 6:26 of the second period to put the Griffins up 3-2. Brunnstrom collected the puck at center ice and turned Rochester defenseman T.J. Brennan inside-out with a quick move before firing a hard wrist shot past the blocker of Leggio.
Tatar added his second goal – and third point – of the game when he backhanded the rebound of a Janik shot into the Rochester net to give the Griffins a two-goal lead at 9:55. Francis Pare picked up the secondary assist, extending his career-best point streak to nine games, the longest streak of any Griffin this season. Pare has tallied 12 points (2-10—12) since the start of the streak (March 24).
Rochester came out flying in the third period and quickly erased the Griffins' two-goal lead. Luke Adam notched his third goal of the season at 3:42, tipping a shot from Brayden McNabb past McCollum. A Brennan blast from the blue line found its way through traffic and past McCollum at 5:23 to knot the game at four.
The Americans were desperate to pick up the extra point in regulation, firing 18 third-period shots on the Grand Rapids net. The Griffins were equal to the challenge, killing off four third period penalties, including two brief five-on-three man advantages, to force overtime. McCollum made several of his 36 stops during the Rochester barrage.
After Tatar was nearly sprung for a breakaway in overtime, a Rochester defender was ruled guilty of throwing his stick 1:46 into the overtime session, giving Janik a chance to end the game on a penalty shot. The former Rochester defender did just that, coming in wide on Leggio and roofing a shot to seal the 5-4 victory.
Leggio saved 25 of 30 in Rochester's loss.
Note: Center Alan Quine made his professional debut, but he did not factor on the scoresheet.
Three Stars: 1. RCH Tropp (two goals); 2. GR Tatar (goal, two assists); 3. RCH Brennan (goal)

All this hand-wringing over the Latino vote by Republicans can be summed up with one fact.
On July 25th our president told La Raza that, "he could bypass Congress and change the (immigration) laws on his own, but that's not the way it's done."
But he did so on Aug. 18 by Executive Order. You just can't beat the power of the presidency.

Will America's best-known hockey mom hike up a snowy mountain, go bear-watching and let reality-show cameras into her home? You betcha!
In a trailer for Sarah Palin's Alaska, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate and governor of the Last Frontier State is seen doing all that and much more.
"Oh gosh," she says as she hikes up a snow-blanketed trail. "We are somewhere that people dream about."
The show follows Palin, 46, on "flippin' fun" Alaskan adventures – with no shortage of wildlife – for an eight-week run, beginning Nov. 14 on TLC.
"I'd rather be doing this than in some stuffy, old political office," she says. "I'd rather be out here being free."

Have you had a family member or friend lose weight successfully but when you try their weight loss plan, you just can't shed the pounds? There is probably a good explanation for this. Losing weight is not 'one-size fits all.' Every person has different calorie needs and you can't tell just by looking at someone (or by their weight) how many calories they need.
Metabolism is complex. Your metabolic rate is dependent on many factors: age, height, weight, sex, genetics, activity level, dieting or restrictive eating history, amount and types of food consumed, etc.
Gundersen registered dietitians are using the ReeVue® Indirect Calorimeter. It's a machine that tests resting metabolic rate (RMR) or metabolism and helps patients figure out the number of calories their bodies need to maintain their current body weight or to lose weight if appropriate. The technology can also be used to monitor calorie intake for mothers-to-be, those active in sports and patients undergoing bariatric surgery (both pre and post-operatively).
The test is simple. You will be seated in a comfortable position and breathe in and out of a tube for 10-20 minutes. The tube has a one-way valve that allows air from the room to be breathed in and exhaled breath to pass through the tubing and into the machine. The machine calculates the amount of oxygen consumed in that period of time and produces the numbers needed to identify calorie levels.
The test can be billed through insurance and many insurance plans cover this service. Please check with your insurance provider for details.
To learn more about metabolic testing or to schedule an appointment to have your metabolism tested, call the weight loss line at (608) 775-LOSE.

Colombia's Tax Revenue Surge Reduces 2012 Financing Needs
Colombia plans to raise less money in the local bond market next year, and expects its 2012 budget deficit to narrow more than it originally expected, as strong economic growth boosts tax revenue.
Colombia plans to auction 18.4 trillion ($9.3 billion) of peso bonds next year, according to a revised 2012 financing plan announced today by Finance Minister Juan Carlos Echeverry. In June, the government forecast it would need to raise 20 trillion pesos in the local market. The consolidated budget deficit, which includes states, municipalities and state-run companies, should fall to 1.8 percent of gross domestic product in 2012 from a projected 2.9 percent of GDP this year, Echeverry said.
"The economy has been very dynamic," Echeverry told reporters today in Bogota. "We are reducing our deficit even as we invest more."
Quickening economic growth and rising foreign direct investment are bolstering tax revenue and reducing the government's financing needs. Echeverry said today that tax collection surged 25 percent to 84 trillion pesos this year.
Latin America's fifth-largest economy may grow as much as 6 percent in 2011, the fastest pace since 2007, according to the central bank. Echeverry said today that Colombia's economy may grow 5.1 percent in 2012.
Overseas Bonds
The strong growth, more than investment-grade rivals Brazil and Mexico, has given the government a "healthy amount" of cash holdings to pay for bonds maturing overseas at the beginning of next year, Echeverry said. The government is in no hurry to sell $3 billion of bonds it plans to issue overseas in 2012, he added.
A military offensive against guerrilla groups has increased security in the last decade in the Andean nation, opening up vast swathes of the countryside for companies to explore for oil, coal and gold. Foreign direct investment may reach a record $12 billion this year, up from $9.5 billion in 2010, central bank chief Jose Dario Uribe said Nov. 11.
Congress in June passed legislation, known as the fiscal rule, that will allow the nation to capitalize on the resource boom, cut its budget deficit and create a fund to cushion the economy during crises. It targets a central government budget deficit of no more than 2.3 percent of gross domestic product in 2014 and 1.9 percent of GDP in 2018.
The yield on Colombia's benchmark 10 percent bonds due in July 2024 has fallen 56 basis points so far this year to 7.6 percent. The peso has dropped 1.4 percent this year to 1,934.25 per U.S. dollar.
Colombia is targeting a central government budget deficit next year equal to 3 percent of GDP, Echeverry said.

Moving to an IDE for programming (Eclipse with PyDev)
In the past, I've always shied away from integrated development environments (IDEs), but I recently had a strong enough motivation to finally learn how to use Eclipse -- one of the most widely-used free software IDEs available today. Eclipse is known mainly as a Java IDE and it does require Java itself, but it is also a powerful and flexible multi-purpose platform, and adaptations exist for programming in many languages, including Java, C/C++, Lisp, and Python. Python support is available with an Eclipse package called "PyDev", and I have found it to be a big step up.

Carrie Underwood

Carrie Goes Pop
Underwood enlists pop music heavy-hitters to pen tracks for her third album, Play On, which debuts at No. 1 on the albums chart. On her new sound, the AP raves, "This tremendously gifted singer proves she can move in several directions while always sounding like she's moving forward."
Mike Pops the Question!
After a year of dating, Fisher, 29, asks Underwood, 26, to marry him. "We're both obviously excited and very happy," the hockey player tells a Canadian newspaper. "The couple couldn't be happier," her rep tells PEOPLE.
- 2010
Just Married
Underwood, 27, makes the leap from Idol to bride, marrying Fisher, 30, at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Georgia. "We could not feel more blessed to have found each other and to have shared this day with our friends and family that mean so much to us!" the newlyweds tell PEOPLE in a statement, signing their names "Mike & Carrie Fisher."
- 2012
'Blown Away'
Underwood, 29, releases her fourth album Blown Away, which debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 267,000 copies in its first week. Of the album, the singer told USA Today, "It opened the door for me to be different."

Technicolor Dream
Before taking the stage in a Technicolor dress, Underwood takes home the Grammy Award for best country solo performance. "Country music has always been so good to me," she says in her acceptance speech, "and I thank the good lord that I'm a part of such a wonderful, talented, amazing family."
- 2014
Digital Debut
Surprise! Underwood uses Instagram (and her two pups) to announce her first pregnancy, writing, "In honor of 'Labor' Day, Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn't be happier …" Days later, she showcases her burgeoning bump while performing outside of Chicago, then dissolves into tears (hormones!) while accepting an award at the ACM Honors in Nashville.While hosting the November 2014 CMA Awards, co-host Brad Paisley spills the beans that Underwood's baby-to-be is a boy.
- 2015
Country Cuteness
"Tiny hands and tiny feet … God has blessed us with an amazing gift!" Underwood writes on Instagram to announce the birth of son Isaiah Michael Fisher, her first with husband Mike Fisher. "We're definitely blessed to have him join us in our lives. There's no better feeling," the proud pop told reporters days later.

Obama administration officials say they are confident an appeals court ruling on the president's healthcare plan will not stand.
It took a blow Friday when a federal appeals court ruled the individual mandate is unconstitutional.
In a divided ruling, a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta sided with the 26 states that sued to block the law.
The individual mandate requires Americans to buy health insurance and the court struck it down.
"What Congress cannot do.is mandate that individuals enter into contracts with private insurance companies for
the purchase of an expensive product from the time they are born until the time they die," the court ruled.
Other courts have ruled both in favor and against the law.
The Justice Department can ask the full 11th Circuit to review the panel's ruling and will also likely appeal to the Supreme Court.
Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice in Washington, D.C., called the ruling "a criticial step forward in undoing Obamacare."
"There needs to be a pronouncement that's nationwide," said Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law. "It would be almost impossible to implement it if we have splintered decisions from different geographic circuits. The Supreme Court may feel now it has to take it."
J. Peter Rich, a Los Angeles-based health care attorney, said the Supreme Court had never weighed in on an issue such as the provision requiring individuals to buy health insurance.
"They have never ruled on this specific issue," he said. "This really is a case of first impression, although the Obama administration may try to argue otherwise."
Rich said it's not unconstitutional for individual states to have such requirements, noting that Massachusetts has a similar law in place. However, the high court has yet to weigh in on whether a federal requirement passes muster.

• The effect of a single daily dose of 500 mg of methyldopa with 50 mg of hydrochlorothiazide and 5 mg of amiloride hydrochloride was studied in 21 patients with mild to moderate hypertension. It was shown that the average morning BP changed from 182/103±15/9 mm Hg to 145/83±16/8 mm Hg following one day of treatment. Similarly, the average of seven hourly measurements (7BP) dropped from 170/99±11/7 mm Hg to 145/86±11/8 mm Hg. In 12 patients, the same therapy lowered the morning BP from 186/104±16/9 mm Hg to 144/83±15/8 mm Hg and the 7BP from 168/98±10/6 mm Hg to 142/83±12/7 mm Hg following three weeks. After eight weeks, normal values were still maintained. Left ventricular mass was elevated in all the patients (330±67) and dropped by an average of 12% and 17% by three and eight weeks after initiation of therapy. Unchanged left ventricular end diastolic volume and decreased muscle thickness indicate true reduction in hypertrophy in addition to the BP-lowering effect of this combined single-dose therapy described.

Yeah, I can't believe this guy talking trash and trying to get into Froch's head by saying he respects him because he has a fine girlfriend. Ward doesn't need this nonsense to beat Froch. Hunter's fat a$$ should shut up and be a professional. Wanna be Ali.

Hunter is cheaply trying to get into Froch's head, since Ward can't.
Ward is an excellent boxer, with superb skills. However he can't intimidate Froch.
I expect Froch to impose his will on Ward, winning by late tko.
Yes, I'm biased on this fight.

It's kind of similar to what Kevin Cunningham does for Devon Alexander. It makes you look as if you can't speak up for yourself and hold you own, when it comes to trash talking. Ward isn't exactly the trash talking type of fighter, so I guess Hunter maybe feels that he needs to pick up the slack for Ward in that area?

plenty of trainers talk trash, roach does it far more than hunter, is he an idiot too? hunter doesnt do it for no reason either he does it to get in the oponents head and he does a good job of it. it doesnt reflect negatively on ward in any way. he doesnt like to play mind games so he leaves it to his trainer, whats wrong with that?
besides ward doesnt get the chance to be in the oponents locker room to see him wrap his hands. sure he could say something at press conferences etc but its not his style. ward speaks with his hands and his trainer just speaks his mind i dont see anything wrong with that.
by the way how does hunter protect ward by talking trash? at the end of the day ward is still gonna be in the ring with him all by himself. if he was promoting ward and keeping him away from certain fights that would be a different case but i dont see how talking trash as a trainer is protecting your fighter. explanation please.
yes it would be stupid for froch to hire someone for the lone purpose of talking trash, but that isnt the deal with hunter. hes a trainer, thats what hes hired for and the trashtalk is an extremely small part of the service he provides. he also gives ward a drink of water during practise, that doesnt mean you can compare that to froch hiring someone for the lone purpose of standing there with a water bottle.
hunter and ward are tight as hell, theres nothing going on that one or the other doesnt approve of that isnt out in the open.
your post is whats nonsense, hunter is a boxing genius.

Now that I'm 18, I saw that I still needed approval of my parents email to access some things. How can i remove this now? since I am now of age to do things like download rated M demos or buy games that are rated M. Any help would be appreciated.
Xbox LIVE determines whether an account is a child account or an adult account based on the age of the account owner. Account owners who are younger than 18 are given child accounts in the United States. The legal adult age varies by country and region (for example, the adult age in Korea is 20).
Child accounts are tied to an adult's Windows Live ID. The adult account can control Family Settings and restrict some features of Xbox LIVE.
After you reach the age of adulthood (which varies by country and region), you can promote a child account to an adult account. This promotion removes the Family Settings and Xbox LIVE restrictions.
To promote a child account to an adult account
Sign in to Xbox LIVE by using the account that you want to change.
Go to Settings, and then select Account.
Select Promote Child Account.
Note This option is available only if the date of birth for the account indicates that you have reached the age of adulthood (18 in the United States). The legal adult age varies by country and region. The age of an account owner is calculated by using the date of birth provided when the account was created. This date cannot be changed. If you entered an incorrect date of birth when you created the account, your only option is to create a new account using the correct date of birth.
Follow the on-screen instructions to promote the account.
Note If you want to control the console itself - for example, to limit the amount of time the console can be used on a daily basis, or limit the content types that can be viewed on the console - please see Xbox 360 console parental controls.

if your birthday has passed
goto account settings
then manage my account
click promote to adult account if available
if it is not there then you must wait for your birthdate to pass 18
there is no way to change the birthdate after account creation

Here is the actual support link for promoting your account to an adult
The sugestions here do not work as of the Xbox-live November update. Sinds you need to acept the new terms of use to change youre settings. AND to do that you still need the parental account.
So we are screwed until they change something.

Ok, wel here it goes.
Sinds the new xbox live update i cant sign in to xbox live. The reason is that if i want to accept the new terms of use i have to have conformation from a parantal account My mom made back when i was still under 18. That account has been hacked ages ago and all atempts to restore the password have been denied.
Is there a way to skip the whole parental blockade sinds im 23 now? i also heard that you can get youre pasword reseted by sending stuff to microsoft such as your xbox -ID and last used prepaid code.
Please help me out. I realy dont want to abandon this account :(
I am also suffering from the same problem. Any solutions on how to get round the recent service agreement without having to log in as the parental?Additional I can't use the support options because you have to agree with the recent service agreement.
