Cornus alba 'Kesselringii' is a deciduous shrub with deep red shoots that darken and turn a blackish-purple colour in winter. Kesselringii' has ovate green leaves and small cream flowers in spring or summer. These are followed by white berries and the leaves turning red in autumn, before dropping and revealing the dramatic dark stem.
'Kesselringii' is a very hardy and vigorous growing shrub that will grow well in most soil conditions. It is suited to either full sun or partial shade. Dogwoods look great either individually or as a group for adding drama in autumn and winter borders.

Most deliveries are made within a week of placing the order. Many are despatched within 24 hours of receiving the order, but please allow up to 10 working days to be on the safe side. There is a slightly longer timescale on pleached trees or trees over 2.5m in height (all trees called Standard, Premium Standard, Heavy Standard, Extra Heavy Standard, Mature Trees or Pleached) because we have to group orders together into geographic areas for a specialist haulage contractor to deliver and this takes a bit of scheduling.
Gift trees and other trees required for arrival on a specific date can be accommodated with pleasure and at no extra charge. Although we really don't like to give ourselves wriggle room (because we so rarely need it!), we do have to say that we accept no legal responsibility for late deliveries.
The vast majority of trees are sent on a 'no signature required' basis, so there's no need to be in to receive your order. You can give us instructions on where to leave your delivery either via the checkout or send us a separate email. For some mature or pleached trees we may contact you in advance if the delivery driver needs help getting the tree/trees off the vehicle.
All trees are packed very carefully by our experienced team and delivered using couriers who've been tried and tested over many years.
Our nursery is a busy despatch centre and therefore customers need to make an appointment to collect or view trees. For collections, despatch charges will be refunded.
Smaller trees/bushes have a delivery charge of £7.95 plus vat (excluding Highlands and Islands). Medium trees of a height of 1.5-2 metres have a delivery charge of £9.95 plus vat (excluding Highlands and Islands). Orders for multiple trees have a single delivery cost of £12.95 plus vat (excluding Highlands and Islands).
Mature trees and pleached trees are more expensive to deliver. Cost varies by postcode and is calculated in the check out process. You can buy more than one tree for the same delivery cost, so if you are purchasing a good number of trees it works out to be economical.
Highlands and Islands charges start from £29.95 plus vat and are calculated in the check out process.
Our courier charges are not viable for just one or two trees, but if you have a larger requirement then please do speak to us and we'll see if we can find a solution.
Planting Advice for Cornus alba 'Kesselringii' Shrubs
When planting Dogwood shrubs, such as Cornus alba 'Kesselringii', it is important to prepare the planting area well. Pot grown shrubs can be planted at any time of the year. You will need to carry out the following to prepare your planting site.
Firstly, remove all weeds and grass within a metre of your desired planting hole then dig a hole as deep as your root mass and approximately 1.5x as wide. We recommend digging a square hole as this encourages the roots to grow straight as opposed to around inside the hole. To help your shrub establish more effectively, we advise applying root grow (sprinkle in the hole for pot grown trees), especially if you have poor soil. Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Using 50% of the original soil and 50% compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently. Make sure not to bank the soil up around the collar of the tree as this can cause problems. To see how to use a tree stake and tie, watch our informational how to videos.
Aftercare Advice for Cornus alba 'Kesselringii' Shrubs
If you're planting Dogwoods in dry weather, water well and regularly for the first few months. The same goes for spring and summer planting. Make sure to keep an eye on your young shrub and increase watering if there are extended periods of hot or dry weather. If you're planting in autumn, you may only need to water your shrub a little. Make sure not to over water as, whilst they tolerate damp soil, they do not like wet soil.
Pruning Advice for Cornus alba 'Kesselringii' Shrubs
Do not prune in the first year. Each subsequent year we recommend pruning hard around February. If you leave the pruning to the end of February or even early March, you will benefit from enjoying the colourful stem for a little longer without any detrimental effect on spring growth.
Follow pruning by mulching and fertilising to encourage new growth. It is this new growth that displays the vivid colours.

PLAC Home
Present: Belongia, Calef, Davis, Dimick, Hartman, Hamon, Jensen,
McCabe, Palmer, Wright,
Handouts: None
CALL TO ORDER: D. Calef called the meeting to order at 10:05 a.m.
CHANGES/ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: Under Other Business,
MINUTES: Palmer moved approval of the April 7, 2005 minutes. Belongia seconded. Motion carried.
SYSTEM DIRECTOR'S REPORT: The Wisconsin Public Library Consortium is contracting with Overdrive to provide audiobooks that can be downloaded via the Internet. Unlike the netLibrary model, there can only be one checkout on an item at a time. It will be possible to make a CD copy. This is a "low friction" medium that will not become lost or break. WPLC is paying the cost of the project for the first six months.
SCLS lost another van last week. It was totaled, but luckily no one was injured. With 300,000 miles on it, the insurance company considers it without value, but SCLS can usually get another 100,000 miles from similar vehicles.
The plan-to-plan for the strategic plan committee, made up of PLAC members, SCLS board members and staff, met on April 29th. They will try a simple and rapid way to approach the plan so that it can be repeated more frequently. Even a three-year plan may be too long these days. More will be coming on this soon.
Shawn Brommer was elected to the Caldecott Committee and Stef Morrill was elected to the WiscNet Board.
In Milwaukee County none of the four libraries has signed the contract yet, but no one has closed their doors either. A lot of options have been proposed, but none that everyone can support.
There are 25 on-time applicants for the CE Coordinator position and we are in the process of reviewng the applications. Pam Bosben, Sue Steiner, Jane Grogan, Peter Hamon and Phyllis Davis make up the interview committee. The interviews will be scheduled for mid-May
Sally Drew has set up a series of ILL vendor demonstrations for members of Library Information Technology Advisory Committee. Peter serves on the committee and invites anyone else who would like to attend to do so. They will be at the Pyle Center beginning on May 26th. A question was raised about why this is going on and why there is never a decision on what job we want to do before we go shopping for solutions. WiLS is working on an alternative process to get costs from OCLC for those who are interested. Lakeshores may be moving to OCLC for ILL.
Hamon and Davis met with the Director of the Sweeney Group, who handle the Madison Schools foundation, and our auditors to talk about the SCLS foundation. It has been set up for several years, but not active and not a 501©3. Years ago members did not want SCLS to pursue funds that might go to a local library. There is still that dichotomy, but an SCLS foundation could help to support centralized purchases such as databases. We will be looking at the feasibility of that direction.
The annual meeting got fairly good reviews. Our second system check for $486,000 was received. Mt Horeb will stop unpaid service to SWLS residents in June. The merger of 24/7 Reference and QuestionPoint is plugging along. We could merge AskAway into the statewide service. We require that such a merger would not reduce the quality of our AskAway service. LSTA funds should offset a portion of our access costs in 2006. There will be a tour of Delivery on the afternoon of the May 9th SCLS Board meeting. Member are welcome to join the tour. Joint Finance Committee has taken no action yet on library budget requests.
STANDARDIZATION OF PROCESSING CHARGES: S. Hartman did a survey of libraries about their processing charges. LINK libraries are split about half and half between adding the fee into the price when an item is linked or when lost. There is a variety of amounts charged for the processing fee. There was a general discussion of the pros and cons of various approaches to charging for lost items and confusion at front desk about different library rules. Madison is going to do something different, but they don't know what yet. No one wants to go back and change all records. S. Hartman may write up a few draft general guidelines for the next PLAC meeting. B. Dimick will find out how much Madison takes in per year in processing fees.
BETTER PRICE WITH B&T: One of our new directors suggested we try for a better group discount with B&T. The group agreed that this is something we should investigate and that we should also check state contracts. SCLS will survey libraries to find the biggest vendors, what libraries spend with them and the current % discount they get.
a. Joint Technology Committee: Approved a modified charge and discussed possibilities for working on the educational component of the charge. They decided to pick 3-4 topics each year, and some sort of educational opportunity will be provided on that topics, whether it is just a document or a brown bag or full-blown CE. Marshfield Public gave a report on using D-skins to protect DVDs/CDs – thumbs down.
b. Interlibrary Loan Committee: Met in April. Will meet again in August.
c. Reference Committee: Meets in June. Antiques trial has ended and auto repair databases are now available for trial.
d. Multitype: Met in April, will meet again in October. Several new members will be coming onto the MALC in October.
e. Youth Services: The "Connecting Boys with Books" workshop was very good. A CE on graphic novels is coming up. Work is proceeding on the SLP blog.
f. Outreach: No report.
g. PR Committee: No report.
h. Delivery Advisory Committee: Did not meet. Hamon reported that our volume continues to grow and we will need a lot more cash in the next few years to split routes and pay for the increase in gas prices.
S. Hartman raised some concerns about recent computer failures and requested recommendations about backup and surge protection for libraries. P. Davis will bring it to the next SCLS Internal Technology Committee meeting.
DISCUSSION TOPIC: Potpourri
McCabe announced that Don Litzer has accepted a position in the genealogy section of the Allen County Public Library in Indiana. His last day will be may 27th. Palmer shared that the Plain library now has a great horned owl prominently displayed in a big standing case. It is a popular attraction. There was an attack on a patron and staff member at the Portage Library by a client of a local mental health half-way house and a similar incident at a local WalMart. There was general discussion of policies and practices and permanently banning certain people from libraries. There is a very good speaker on "Safety in the Workplace" who did a program for Marshfield. L. Belongia will share the information on that program.
Meeting adjourned.
Next meeting will be June 2, 2005.
Phyllis Davis, Recorder

Acerca del creador
As a late starter to the world of writing in my 4th career I have written hundreds of articles published in the United States and Canada as well as three books. I have lived on different continents, am widely traveled and have been an environmental activist for many years. What I have seen and experienced in my different careers has been a great "education" of an informal kind but an eye-opener and while the solutions to the problems of clean energy are available to us - they are not in the interest of Governments and Multinational Corporations. I am living out my years in the middle of the Atlantic on a volcanic island where I can still enjoy nature, bird-song and flowers as well as contribute, though hampered by poor health, via the wonderful micro-loan systems that exist. I only loan to women, the poorest of the poor on several continents who try hard to educate their daughters. By the mere misfortune of having been born female they must work twice as hard it seems.

A cold start to the day, a very light drizzle at times; but it didn't stop the birds.
The squirrel had made a mess of one of the peanut feeders. He'd managed to get it off the branch, get round the rod that holds the tin can lid on, and get all the nuts out. Soon had it back up on the branch though, and filled, for the birds.
As I walked away from them, after filling them all, a quick glance revealed a Great-spotted Woodpecker enjoying breakfast.
Around the footbridge, and car park area, a lot of activity. I was in danger of not getting very far round the lake; so much was going on.
A Blackbird was defending the berries on his bush, much to the annoyance of a couple of Redwing. They in turn were harassing a couple of Fieldfare that were trying to get some too. In the end, the Blackbird gave up, and the Redwings succeeded in seeing off the hapless Fieldfare. A big flock of Fieldfare flew overhead, going east to west; something that was going to happen frequently throughout the morning.
Along with all this activity, a lone Goldcrest was quickly moving through the branches, searching for insects.
Under the road bridge, a group of noisy Mallards were making their presence felt, a party of Cormorants were fishing, and further round a small group of Long Tailed Tits were noisily calling as they worked their way through the tree tops.
A big flock of Wood Pigeon flew overhead, followed by a good number of Lapwing.
More Fieldfare followed them. The skies were quite busy.
Up at the dam, a group of Black-headed Gulls lined up along the concrete, and further along, more Cormorants, and a couple of Grey Heron.
At the gully, Canada Geese were milling around, and over by the far shore, half a dozen Wigeon.
Walking past the pub, a couple of Mute Swans, and a group of Mallards flew over to see if I had food.
Of course.
Going round the south lake, much quieter; apart from a few boats now going up and down. More Fieldfare flew overhead, and even the sun tried to make an appearance, but decided against it in the end.
At the far end I had a quick look through the railway arch, into the fields.
Lots of Rooks, Crows, Wood Pigeon, and Starlings, all frantically searching the ground for any seed left behind after the combine had cut the crop.
Even a few Skylark were flying about, and a Buzzard sat minding his own business up in a tree, until a couple of Rooks decided to move him on.
Back at the lake, up on the power lines that run alongside the railway, a Kestrel sat hunched up.
He sat still for some time, despite me wandering around below taking pictures.
A quick look round the bird hide revealed a couple of Mute Swans swimming with the Mallards and Coots, and as I made my way back towards the path, a Blackcap in the bushes, with a Robin.
Back along the footpath, past the rowing club, lots of gulls were gathering in the distance. A few people had stopped to feed the ducks, and the gulls were quickly there, searching and stealing what they could.
More winter thrushes flew overhead, and I soon found myself back at the car park.
One last quick look, and there were at least half a dozen Blackbirds, eight Collared Doves, and four Wood Pigeon all milling around the footbridge.

I really appreciated the README in the js subfolder, which has this info:
2. To add a JavaScript file depending on a certain condition, you can add it
using some PHP code in a preprocess function:
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'THEME_NAME') . '/js/my-jquery-script.js', array('group' => JS_THEME));
Even though I've done this sort of thing before, it saved me having to go look it up. I'm sure it's even more useful to theming newbies! It's a very nice touch -- thanks! :)
However, in template.php, it's easier to say path_to_theme() rather than drupal_get_path('theme', 'THEME_NAME') -- unless there are some ramifications of path_to_theme() that I'm not aware of.
Comment #1JohnAlbin CreditAttribution: JohnAlbin commented
path_to_theme() returns the path to the current template file. And (drupal_get_path('theme', 'THEME_NAME') returns the path to the root directory of the named theme.

Renew Newcastle is a not for profit company limited by guarantee. The organisation has been established to find short and medium term uses for buildings in Newcastle's CBD that are currently vacant, disused, or awaiting redevelopment.
Renew Newcastle aims to find artists, cultural projects and community groups to use and maintain these buildings until they become commercially viable or are redeveloped. Renew Newcastle is not set up to manage long term uses, own properties or permanently develop sites but to generate activity in buildings until that future long term activity happens.
The organisation was founded to help solve the problem of Newcastle's empty CBD. The long term prospects for the redevelopment of Newcastle's CBD are good, however, in the meantime many sites are boarded up, falling apart, vandalised or decaying because there is no short term use for them and no one is taking responsibility.
Renew Newcastle has been set up to clean up these buildings and get the city active and used again.

Hundreds attended the luau Saturday night at an outoor amphitheater not far from Waikiki Beach.
Among the luau-goers were the father-and-son athlete team of Tom (left) and Pat Kennell of Florida. At least one mother-daughter athlete pair from New York also competed, I was told.
Entertainers invited masters athletes and family members on to the stage to learn the hula.
USATF masters media chair Bob Weiner (left) heads for his. Bob, from Maryland, was third in the M55 steeplechase and sixth in the 1500.
M45 high jump champ Buce McBarnette gets into the swing of the hula lesson.
Pretty girls for the guys and beef hunks for the gals made up the traditional Hawaiian (and Tahitian) dance program.
Bob Davidson of Califonia shows off his 61-year-old hula girl -- a tattoo that he said all sailors got who were at Norfolk, Virginia, in 1944.
World record holder Gerry Davidson (with husband Bob) wore her aloha best for the Saturday night luau.
No, it's not a downtown nightclub. It's the entrance to the all-you-can-eat cafeteria that served athletes staying at the UH dorms.
Hale Mokihana dorm was the home for more than 160 athetes at these championships -- almost a fifth of the 800 entered masters.
Japanese signs on the dorm bulletin boards were common.
Japanese students also everywhere. Even a Japanese baseball team played while the meet was taking place at the adjacent track.
Jai Black of the San Diego Track Club shows off her gold and bronze medals in the W40 sprints -- in her first ever masters nationals.
Steven Brenneck, also of San Diego Track Club, was the bronze medal winner in the M60 1500 in 5:42.12.
Athletes staying in the dorms walked this way to the track every day -- and trudged back up it at night, laden with hardware and memories.
The view from the top of the Mokihana dorm was breathtaking, especially at sunset with Diamond Head in the distance.
A local city pool and some UH fields were visible from the dorms as well.
And at night, the lights of Honolulu shone bright.
Gordon Edwards paid close attention to Mark Zeug (right), meet director of the Hawaiian masters nationals. Edwards will direct the 2006 masters nationals in North Carolina.

To many, the jump ball has become a forgettable ritual in college basketball -- simply the traditional way to begin a game. North Carolina coach Roy Williams, however, sees it as an opportunity. "It's important, because it's one extra possession," said Williams, whose high-octane team leads the ACC in scoring with 87.8 points per game. "And the way we play, we want to get every extra possession we can." (Raleigh News & Observer)

On average, women spend 90% of their income on their families, compared to the 30%¬–40% that men do, according to a report from the Yale Daily News, meaning working women benefit their community. Yet, some women have barriers to their success that make it difficult for them to find employment. Help empower underserved women to support themselves and their families with this Grassroots campaign: for $15, you get $20 worth of jewelry and gourmet food from Women's Bean Project.
Women's Bean Project works to break the cycle of poverty and unemployment among women and single mothers with significant barriers to success, such as felony convictions, chronic poverty, and past drug addictions. To do this, it established a six-month job-training program where participants can gain the skills necessary for mainstream employment. Within a safe, accepting environment, the women identify and build their talents while producing gourmet food and jewelry with the aid of professional designers.
Women's Bean Project's online gourmet-food shop entices with snacks such as a jar of chocolate-covered espresso beans ($5.75) or a southwest-salsa mix ($3.75). The handmade jewelry collections feature bracelets and necklaces strung with rare pearls and stones, including the Dramatic Effect necklace ($25), on which coated crystal beads hang from three brass chains, and the limited-edition Valentine's Day bracelet ($16), where red glass beads and a millefiori-glass heart hang from a silver-plated circle chain.
While the participants craft these gifts, they focus on three components: coming to work on time and staying on task, personal goal setting and problem solving, and skill tracks that include reception, public speaking, and accounting. Women's Bean Project also helps women access services such as housing and childcare at the start of the program. After participants have completed six months and tested their capabilities, they can further their education or apply for full-time work. Many have gained stable employment at local businesses including Wells Fargo Bank and St. Joseph's Hospital.

Trainer Robert Smerdon says the barrier drawn by his outstanding sprinting mare Shamal Wind for Saturday's $400,000 Oakleigh Plate brings far more positives than it does negatives.
Shamal Wind (barrier two) is a $7.50 hope to win the race and Smerdon maintains that former champion jockey Roy Higgins' belief about barriers is an appropriate one.
''Higgins said to me, 'After you go past barrier one it just gets progressively worse from there on', so having barrier two in an Oakleigh Plate or a maiden at Geelong is very much to your advantage,'' Smerdon said.
''It means that your options for Saturday's race increase and race-day tactics can vary because of the luxury of such a great inside draw.''
Shamal Wind returned devastating sectionals to score at Caulfield three weeks ago after coming from the rear of the field at the top of the straight, but the Caulfield trainer believes that his mare's racing pattern is not one-dimensional.
''What barrier two means is that clearly we can look at being more handy or positive in the early stages and then again if we want to get back and run home again we can do that,'' he said.
''In contrast, when you draw barrier 16 or 17 you are committed to either trying to rush over from the wide draw and run the risk of using up a lot of energy, or going back in the field and hoping that every little thing goes your way so you can be successful.''
Smerdon said the mare had had her share of bloodstock agents from Australia and overseas keen to negotiate the four-year-old's sale. ''She's by a well-performed European stallion from an American mare and while there has been a steady flow of interest in her we have not got to the stage of talking numbers as the connections are still happy to race her.
''I couldn't be happier with her, she trialled well on Tuesday at Cranbourne so she hasn't put a foot wrong in her lead-up to the race.''
While Saturday's Oakleigh Plate will feature a field of 18 plus one emergency, Lankan Rupee remains the $3 favourite to win the group 1 encounter. Lankan Rupee drew barrier eight, a position that will suit the speedster.
Two former Melbourne Cup winners, Green Moon and Fiorente, will clash in the Peter Young Stakes, while three-year-old Eurozone did not pay up for the Futurity Stakes and will go straight into Saturday week's Australian Guineas without another run.
Queensland sprinter Better Than Ready won't be at Caulfield on Saturday for the Oakleigh Plate and instead will return home.
Better Than Ready had some shoeing issues in Melbourne this week with trainer Kelly Schweida deciding to abort the sprinter's Melbourne autumn carnival.
''He pulled a shoe off and a bit of hoof earlier this preparation and the farrier suggested we use glue-on shoes on Saturday,'' Schweida said.
''But I don't think horses race well in glue-on shoes, let alone in group 1 races, so it's better that he comes home.''

Morning Chronicle And London Advertiser (Newspaper) - January 16, 1775, London, Middlesex For the Morning Chronicle. E P I G RAM On reading a letter in this day's Morning Chronicle, Jigned Anti-Puff. THY fignature of Anti-P�^* How J aft'?-G--d knows-thourt fiat enough. Jan. H, 1779.___ To the Prin t er of the MorningChronicle. SIR, AS hit now the faflrion for every one to give their opinion of theatrical matters, I make bold to offer that of an; individual, restive to one of the greatefi: indignities that ever difgraced a Theatre Royal. I mean the fcandalous. admiflion of that Italian, Sighor 'Roffignol on a Britifli ftage. It is a certain , proof th*gentleman and fcholar has quitted the management. I Ihould not be furprized to hear SaviHe-Carey* with his dogs and cats; Buckhorfe, with' his- tunes on bis chin, and Jemmy Mofs, "with his whiffling aviary, bf light' forth with the firft performers of oujr drama, �indeed;; many -believe, that this Sig. Roffignol i� no other than Jemmy Mofs, under ah Iftilian title. How can Barry fubmit to Aich an infult as being ftuck up in the - fame 'bill, with fuch a Birtholornew-fair entertainment? Is it not Ihocking to hear the fuccefs of fuch performers as Mr. and Mrs. Barry, and Mrs. Hartley-, attributed to Roffignol ? For the cjaeftionjii-rrot, will you go tp �the Biftrefied Mother'; but, will you go hear the YVhrftling Man ?-lf the capital performers hsve fenfe^ fpirjti'or proper pride, they will. *ake this hint., Jt is /aid, that in the ab-feneerof Mr. Garriclc, Mr. Lacey once engaged a fet of Italian Tumblers, but on Mt._ Garrick's knowledge of the matter, he told \Mr; Lacfy, if the Italians tumbled on. his ftage, he would for ever give over tumbling; there himfelf; they were confequently dif-charged.

S I R, TOTALLY unacquired with you, except in your theatrical capacity, I ihaU be acquitted of motives of parialiry, or predilection, in faying you are moll juffly entitk-d to applaufe for your truly excellent.performance of the part of Pyrrhus in the Bilireffsd Mother. An ilHheril; or, indeed, a too ftricl criticifm on perf >ns, who, in their profeffion, ftudioufly endeavour to contribute to the a-mufement of the public, I h=ive ever deemed a moll malevolent, unjuftifiable proceeding. In this light, with truth, may be coniidered the generality of the cynical animadverfions with which the daily papers are replete. In this 'tis apparent* ill. nature and injudicious cenfure fuptrfede the dictates of candour and jullice, cenfure is predominant, and commendation but rarely bellowed, though frequently merited. As, one exception to a rule too general, allow me to return my real thanks for the reception of that pleafure which your performance above .alluded to rendered me. Your conception of the charsdler was admi-rably.juft-I had almoll feid it was not ptr-fanifcation, but Pyrrhus redivivus. A competent knowledge of the very effence of the part llrpngly character!fed your whole per formance. I have feen your predeceflors in the part, and if I don't fay ycu are fuperior to them all, I can with truth affert you are inferior to few, I mean not this as a forced compliment, but my real feniimcnts. Tam an otter flranger to you, and may poffibly ever continue fo ; the impulfe of fatisfaclion alone actuates me on this occasion, and candour requires me to pay a tribute where it is% much deferved.

The Police of Paris have adopted an in-ftitution " for the effectual recovery of thofe who are feized, to all appearance, with fudden. death." The fuccours to be admi-niileted on thefe occafions are, the fumes of tobacco,"'"together with " certain fpirituous liquors," which are to be inrufed into'the body by the means of a tunnel.. Dr. Gar-dane, one of the Faculty at Paris, is the inventor of this method, and the Magiftrates have deputed, him to fuperintend the application, and pufli the discovery to the utmoft perfection. The ferjeant* and corporals jof the different regiments have received orders to make ufe of this remedy in cafes of emergen-cy> and t'hePelice hath'prornifed a distribution of rewardsVto thofe Svh'o, under Providehce, ufe itwith fuccefs.

For the efficacy of this prefcription it would be arrogance to vouch; but the phyfician who turns his thoughts even to the difcovery of a probable reftoratiye, gives ample proof that his ingenious refearches are directed by principles of philanthropy, which entitle him to the thanks of his fpecies. At Genoa advices have been received, that a French {hip richly laden, and bound from Cadiz to that port, was forced by a ftorm into Toulon harbour. The merchants and Owners of this vefTel were, when thefe advices left Genoa, in the greateft confternation for the fafety of the ftiip and cargo. A moft violent hurricane hath committed prodigious devaluation on the coaft of Lan- gaedoc; -tWo Swedifli ,vefleis, laden ^ pitch arid timber were loft, and a third fottD. dered in the golph of Lyons.

This is no ltf, than the third calamity of the kind which, within.a very few years, hath befel this un! happy town, but the damage occafioned by the laft conflagration, will, it is feared, ope. rate to the final ruin of the inhabitants.

Take time for a midyear tax checkup, it could save you money
CHICAGO – Ready or not, big changes lie ahead for many U.S. taxpayers next year.
Tax cuts put into place during the Bush administration that slashed rates on wages, dividends and capital gains are set to expire at the end of 2012. The Social Security payroll tax cut enacted this year also will end, as will the exemption of millions of middle-class families from the alternative minimum tax.
It behooves you to spend a little time examining your own situation now. A midyear tax review always makes sense, but more than ever this year.
Even some basic housekeeping and preparations for a tax overhaul in Washington can save money and help you avoid end-of-the-year angst over the inevitable 11th-hour congressional tussle over what to do next.
A simple do-it-yourself checkup can be performed in less than an hour. All you really need is your June 30 pay stub — the one that goes through the end of this week — and your 2011 tax return.
Start by multiplying your year-to-date earnings by two to get an estimate of 2012 income and compare it to last year's final figure. The goal is to have a better idea of how your tax situation will look next year at tax time, says Mark Steber, chief tax officer for Jackson Hewitt Tax Services.
Do the same with your withholding. The IRS recommends reviewing your withholding during the year to make sure it's in line with what your tax liability is likely to be. There's a withholding calculator on its website, www.irs.gov. You may wish to tweak the amount you withhold if it looks like you might either owe money or appear headed for an unwisely large refund.
Now review what might have changed this year. Do you have a new family member? Did one move out? Did you change jobs or move? Get married or divorced? Consulting a tax professional would be the most reliable way to figure the impact of such changes. But you should be able to get at least a sense on your own of where you stand at midyear.
While you're at it, take a look at your savings and any 401(k), IRA or Roth IRA that you have. Will you be able to max out 2012 contributions? Make sure you're at least contributing enough to get the company match in your 401(k). And keep an eye on your medical reimbursement account, if you have one, to make sure you'll spend it all by the end of the year.
"With six months remaining in the year, there are still opportunities to lower your 2012 tax liability via withholding changes, increase in charitable contributions, retirement savings and more," says Kathy Pickering, executive director of the Tax Institute at H&R Block.
So many changes are being discussed for next year that the natural tendency is to wait until they're all final before sorting it out. But tax experts say you could leave money on the table if you don't do some planning ahead of time.
Without trying to forecast outcomes, one good step to take now is to identify and start following a reliable resource or two for tax information — IRS.gov, a blog, a columnist, a favorite financial site. Then as the changes take shape, you can act quickly.
Here are some of the biggest changes brewing and some planning considerations to take into account:
— Payroll tax.
A temporary payroll tax cut that has benefitted nearly every wage earner in 2011 and 2012 is set to expire, costing the average family an additional $1,000 a year.
"People should think about how they're going to budget with a smaller paycheck next year," says Elda Di Re, partner in Ernst & Young's personal finance services group.
— Capital gains.
Without congressional action, the capital gains tax will rise to 20% from 15%.
Anyone considering an action that will trigger a major capital gain, such as selling stock or a vacation home, may want to consult a tax professional about the potential difference between closing a transaction this year and next.
— Dividends.
The tax on dividends will go from the current 15% to your individual tax rate, meaning as high as 39.6% for upper-income taxpayers.
Higher tax rates might make dividend stocks that you are considering adding to your portfolio less appealing, although it doesn't necessarily mean selling ones you already own.
— Medicare.
Now that the Supreme Court has upheld the health care law, millions of wealthy taxpayers face tax increases related to Medicare.
High-income individuals would pay a surtax of another 0.9 percentage points on earned income over $200,000, or $250,000 for married couples. High-income households also face a new 3.8% tax on investment income. Congress approved that tax to help finance the health care overhaul.
Of course, that could change if Congress takes up the law again.
— Alternative minimum tax.
The alternative minimum tax typically has affected taxpayers making more than $200,000, thanks to so-called "patches" that have annually exempted middle-income families. Unless Congress extends it retroactively, the AMT patch already has expired for 2012, reducing exemption amounts precipitously.
It's worth checking with a financial adviser to see how much you might be subject to under this complicated law, which targeted loopholes used by wealthy taxpayers when it was created in 1969.
— Estate tax.
Again, if Congress takes no action, the estate tax rate would rise to 55% from the current 35% and the exemption level would fall to $1 million from $5 million, subjecting many more estates to it.
If you have a large estate and want to remove some taxable assets from it, this might be a good year to do some planned gifting, says Mark Luscombe, principal federal tax analyst for the CCH consulting firm in Riverwoods, Ill.
— Tax breaks.
Dozens of other tax credits and deductions that are routinely renewed each year already expired at the end of 2011. If Congress fails to act, individuals would lose federal tax breaks for paying local sales taxes, buying energy efficient appliances and using mass transit, among others.
At the moment, there are no clear answers.
But if you believe tax increases are on the way for 2013, it may be prudent to accelerate income and postpone deductions this year, says Luscombe. The reverse of the usual tax strategy, it makes sense when someone is headed for a higher tax bracket the following year.
Besides selling assets that would result in a capital gain, ways to accelerate income include converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and taking distributions from an IRA or retirement plan, so long as it won't result in an early withdrawal penalty.
Postponing deductions could mean waiting to make a charitable gift until next year, when the deduction could have more value, or deferring a capital loss.

Understandable with 100 million less things on his mind...Considering how anemic the majority of the concert industry is, you have to admire KISS, one of the few bands packing them in, for donating $1 of every ticket sold to the Wounded Warrior Project. For every "thumbs-up" I get for this column by the end of September, I'll donate $2 to the same cause....If you watch Hard Knocks on HBO and don't walk away loving Coach Rex Ryan and the rest of the NY Jets, then you aren't a true football fan....I am totally down with technology, but I still love to hold and read an actual newspaper everyday....President Obama sure seems to take a lot of vacations. I get that his job is stressful, but the guy down the street has a stressful job too and he isn't taking off every few weeks...Been thinking NY might have been better off with hooker-loving Spitzer as opposed to inept and corrupt Paterson....I realize they may be low on the entertainment totem pole, but good magicians still make me smile....Loving the pennant race in the AL East. Who wants it more - The Yanks or the Rays? Looking forward to a fun last month of the regular season....I cringe in sypathetic pain at least a few times each episode of Wipe-Out. And then I laugh.....With how much stuff my kids need to buy according to the Back-to-School lists, I think teachers are now in cahoots with Staples....I get that I am a bit late to the party, but I am really enjoying Lady GaGa these days. By the same token, there is not one person in the Jersey Shore house I would want to spend five minutes with in person....If a hiring manager makes direct contact with a job candidate, then they have to have the courtesy to contact them again to say you didn't get the job. Letting people swing in the wind to assume the worst is unprofessional...Looking back on Summer, teaching my son how to ride a bike is easily the thing I will remember most...As much as I love her, I am just about over Betty White's resurgance. There is such a thing as overkill....Reminder, $2 donated to the Wounded Warrior Project for every thumbs-up you bive my column....OK, I've shared. Now it's your turn. Have at it.

The Brother/Sister Plays Part 2 Completes McCarter Trilogy
The McCarter Theatre's production of Tarell Alvin McCraney's The Brother/Sister Plays trilogy continues with Part 2: The Brothers Size and Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet joining Part 1: In the Red and Brown Water in repertory.
The setting for the trilogy is San Pere, a fictional city in Louisiana Bayou country. The events depicted in the trilogy occur in chronological order. The second play The Brothers Size takes place roughly 10 years after the conclusion of the first In the Red and Brown Water (already reviewed here), and the third play, Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet occurs about twenty years after that. The time of the action is described as "Distant Present." Author McCraney employs that phrase to indicate that the past is always part of us as well as to impart a sense of timelessness to his saga. Thus, McCraney is vague about the actual time in which the plays are set. However, culling the material on hand, I would conclude that the period depicted extends over more than thirty years to the present or near present.
Although each of the three plays can clearly stand on its own, they are cleverly structured to amplify one another with story threads continuing through each of them. Water centers on the teenage Oya. After the opportunity to attend college slips out of her hands, Oya is offered love and a home by Ogun Size. When she cannot conceive a child, she leaves the good-hearted, sexually diffident Ogun to chase after the sensual Shango with classically styled, tragic results.
The second play The Bothers Size depicts the efforts of Ogun Size to keep his younger brother, Oshoosi, on the straight and narrow. Ogun has employed Oshoosi in his car repair shop. Lurking evilly around Oshoosi is his prison mate seducer, the bi-sexual Elegba (whose maturation is depicted in the first play). Elegba knows just how to lead the sweet natured but weak Oshoosi to ruination.
The title character of the third play, Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet is a high school senior conceived by Elegba after the conclusion of The Brothers Size. Marcus is a personable, good natured youngster, who is relatively comfortable with the knowledge that he is gay. Marcus does find it difficult to convey the nature of his sexuality to his girlfriend Osha who seems to be the only person in San Pere unaware of his sexuality. Marcus believes that he can better understand himself by learning about his father Elegba who died before he could get to know him. A prominently repeated dream that Marcus has seems to contain the key to his understanding the soul of his father. It is odd that the man in his dream turns out to be his father's friend Oshoosi (whom Marcus has never known) whose presence in the dream provides a message for his brother Ogun.
McCraney informs us that all of these plays are largely based on Yoruban views of the cosmos. And it is true that Sea and Marcus, the first and third plays seem classically mythological in their themes. They are expansive, rich, dramatic, humorous and recommended. However, the former is ultimately marred by being overly stylized classicism, and the latter is too amorphous and unclearly focused to fully satisfy.
The beautifully polished gem of the trilogy is the naturalistic, sharply focused, deeply moving The Brothers Size. Anyone who has had a younger sibling whom he has protected and nurtured or who has been on the receiving end of such tender, loving care from an older sibling will surely be deeply moved by the complexities and depth of feeling so beautifully conveyed here. The pain, frustration and regret that are inherent in the texture of such deep and often inexpressible love are captured with an accuracy and depth that is all too rare in our theatre. The Brothers Size amply demonstrates that the most universal plays present us with unique, fully defined characters in specific settings. When the author is able to find their core humanity, their universality is revealed. Depriving characters of their specific ethnicity, attitudes and beliefs results in ruinously depriving them of interest and reality. Water and Marcus each have a dozen characters, but it is the three character Size that truly scintillates.
Director Robert O'Hara directs Part 2 more naturalistically than Tina Landau directed Part 1. His approach is particularly appropriate and effective for The Brothers Size. The mostly bare, open to the back wall, setting employed by director Tina Landau for Part 1 remains intact here. However, O'Hara does employs a large commercial garage door for The Brothers Size and unstintingly provides rain for Marcus. O'Hara and his actors fully capture the depth and nuance of The Brother Size and never flinch from the sexual explicitness of Marcus.
Marc Damon Johnson's Ogun Size gains great sympathy without overtly striving for it. Johnson presents a moving portrayal of a sweet and hard working man destined never to obtain the companionship and rewards that we wish his good deeds would bring him. Brian Tyree Henry brings off the difficult task of convincing us that his Oshoosi Size is sweet even as he repeatedly runs afoul of the law. Alano Miller is icily smooth and evil as the predatory Elegba and delightfully disarming as his sweet natured son Marcus. Every actor in the large ensemble brings depth and originality to each of his/her roles. They project a life affirming, robust enthusiasm that buoys the entire trilogy.
The Brother/Sister Plays is a co-production with the New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theatre where it is scheduled for performance in the Fall.
The Brother/Sister Plays Part 2: The Brothers Size and Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet continues performances in repertory with Part 1: In the Red and Brown Water (see McCarter website for schedule of performances) through June 21, 2009 McCarter Theatre Center (Berlind Theatre), 91 University Place, Princeton, NJ 08540.

Opening Our Hearts, Transforming Our Losses (B-29)
This book will prove useful for thought-provoking individual reading as well as stimulating group discussions. It shares the experiences of hundreds of members as we explore how Al-Anon principles have helped us to acknowledge, understand, and accept the losses we have experienced as a result of someone else's alcoholism. The book covers a wide range of topics including death, financial ruin, abandoned dreams, and vanished self-esteem. With the help of Al-Anon Family Groups we can begin to heal and to live life more fully.
"Before recovery, I used to think grief only happened when someone died. I had been in Al-Anon for several years before I read about grief in relation to alcoholism. It started to make perfect sense to me when I understood that much of my sadness, anger, and mixed-up feelings were signs of grief. I was losing my battle with trying to control the alcoholic in my life. At last I could see I was grieving. As I got more and more honest, I saw that I had been in grief much of my life, but had no name for it. Recognizing my grief seemed to offer me a sense of dignity. I finally understood what was happening to me. I now use this knowledge when I experience small losses or big ones."

Melbourne tenants can expect to bag good deals this year as lease incentives surge past 25 per cent.
Large chunks of space coming on to the market, combined with business uncertainty and weak demand, have pushed the vacancy rate to its highest level, 6.9 per cent, in the past six years.
Melbourne has become a victim of its own success, as bluechip tenants move into gleaming new office buildings along Collins Street and in Docklands.
More big moves are planned for this year, leaving empty space behind, as BHP comes out of the QV centre into its new headquarters at 171 Collins St.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia is making a big shift from 385 Bourke Street to Lang Walker's Collins Square project.
By the end of the year, the vacancy rate will be nudging 8 per cent, on some estimates, although with incentives already peaking, rents are expected to track sideways this year. Already, leasing agents are talking about 2014 as a better year.
Large tenant moves are plotted in advance, but the impact is felt further afield in the market.
"It's that cascade effect as the vacancy moves down the line," Jones Lang LaSalle agent Stuart Colquhoun said.
"Each time it moves down the line, there is a diminishing time frame for a landlord to secure the backfill tenant."
Property Council of Australia figures show more than 190,000 sq m of new stock coming on to the market this year – more than double the expected amounts in the following two years, although 64 per cent of the 2013 space is pre-committed.
"It is vital that planners, investors and decision-makers keep their eyes focused on the city's long-term future and not get distracted with short-term fluctuations, " said the PCA's Victorian head, Jennifer Cunich.
Colliers agent Andrew Tracey was optimistic that the softness in the market had already been priced in.
"We're seeing light green shoots offshore," he said. " What we need is another three or four months of relatively positive news with no great negative surprises."
But some tenants will put off decisions on space until after the upcoming federal election, Mr Tracey said.
Savills agent Nick Farley was also looking on the bright side, noting enquiry levels were still in line with his agency's 10-year average.
"The current economic conditions combined with recent budget cuts to some state government departments, which has seen them consolidating, have been key factors in a higher vacancy rate," he said.
CBRE research head Stephen McNabb said conditions in Melbourne had "turned abruptly".
The market had absorbed just 5,300 sq m of net space in the half year to January 2013, he said. This compared to the longer run average of 43,000 sq m per half.

Whitney Houston Honored with 2012 Billboard Millennium Award
Being recognized with an emotionally charged salute for her life achievements, the late Whitney Houston was selected as the recipient of the Billboard Millennium Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 20).
The "I Will Always Love You" singer - who tragically passed away on February 11th - was honored with a tribute led off by comedian Whoopi Goldberg, who said, "I adored Whitney Houston. What all performers want and need and should get is love, and many of us here loved Whitney, and even if you're one of those who didn't show the love to Whitney, now is your chance, because tonight, that's what we're doing: We're going to be giving Whitney the greatest love of all."
With John Legend performing "Greatest Love of All" followed by Jordin Sparks belting out "I Will Always Love You", the stage efforts were followed by speeches - as Whitney's sister-in-law, Pat Houston, said, "This is truly an honor. We thank you, Billboard; we thank you, Whoopi, Jordin; we love you, John. But tonight, the one person that should be accepting this award is the one person that Whitney loved most."
Pat then passed the spotlight over to Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina,who kept her message short and sweet while saying, "I just really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all. Thank you so much for showing that much love, 'cause she deserved it. There will never be another one, ever. I thank you so much."

LACEY TOWNSHIP - The Toms River East High School football team burned all three of its first-half timeouts in succession to try to ice Lacey Township kicker Jarrod Molzon.
The plan backfired.
Molzon wound up needing both of his legs, and they appeared to be plenty warm.
In a wild series of events, Molzon's 42-yard field goal was blocked in the final seconds of a scoreless first half.
No problem.
Molzon, who is also one of the Lions' top running backs, picked up the bouncing ball and went untouched around the right side of the field for a 37-yard touchdown with 3.1 seconds left in the half.
The late score deflated East as Lacey (6-0), No. 3 in The Press Elite 11, went on to win 27-0 in a Shore Conference game on Saturday.
"I figured they called three timeouts to get a good block, so we had three timeouts to make a good play," Molzon said jokingly.
"That was a big shift in the game. They were stopping us and then I think that kind of broke their backs a little bit. When they blocked it, you could hear their whole sideline cheering. They were going nuts. Then we scored and you just saw all of their heads drop."
East liked where it stood as halftime approached. The Raiders knew a 42-yard field- goal attempt was no sure thing.
They had done a nice job of containing Lacey's two-headed running attack of Jake Dabal (five carries for 12 yards) and Molzon (four carries for 18 yards).
"That was a momentum swinger right there," Toms River East coach Charlie Diskin said. "Heading into halftime, we had exactly what we wanted. We got a great block and their kid made a great play. It would have been 0-0 at half. That took a lot out of us."
Lacey coach Lou Vircillo wasn't surprised that it was Molzon who came through with the big play.
"That Molzon, he's all over the place," Vircillo said. "He plays that way on all three sides of the ball, and he is certainly deserving of anything that comes his way."
Things started going Lacey's way in the second half.
On fourth-and-3, quarterback Craig Cicardo found Cameron Blackwell for an 18-yard touchdown late in the third quarter.
The Lions put the game away in the fourth as Cicardo scored two rushing touchdowns behind two East turnovers.
Cicardo completed 9-of-16 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown to go along with his two rushing touchdowns. Molzon led the Lions in rushing with 58 yards on eight carries. Zach Torrell caught two passes for 34 yards. He also had an interception, forced a fumble and deflected a pass.
Lacey has outscored opponents 203-20 this season. The Lions can clinch the Shore Conference B South title with a win at Central Regional on Friday.

For a few hours, Lance Armstrong was back in his element - on a bike and in a race. No controversies, little fanfare. The escape Saturday into the mountains around Aspen, Colo., comes a day after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency disciplined Armstrong with a lifetime ban from professional cycling and vacated his seven Tour de France titles after deciding he used performance-enhancing drugs. There were only a handful of fans at the start of the Power of Four mountain bike competition, a 36-mile trek that includes plenty of climbing. Asked if he was ready, Armstrong said, ''I hope so.'' Armstrong's busy weekend includes a marathon Sunday. He may be banned from cycling, but it hasn't diminished his passion for competition.

Cumby High School advanced from zone competition to district with their One-Act Play, and had four cast members recognized for their performances.
Earning All Star Cast honors at the zone OAP contest held at Paris Junior College March 19 were Karson Goggans and Brianna Stone. Recognized as Honorable Mention Cast were Landon Mabe and Brent Brewer.
The students are scheduled to present their production of Stephen Hotchner's play, "Love Is a Hot Fudge Sundae," Wednesday at the district OAP contest, also held at PJC.
"Love Is a Hot Fudge Sundae" portrays the humor and pain of high school, complete with peer pressure, stress and the need to belong. It "focuses on the neglect and abuse of a withdrawn but talented girl." An English teacher reads her stories out loud in class against her will. Her classmates have organized themselves into rigid cliques and cruelly reject her. One of her stories foretells the suicide of an overweight newcomer at the school, although the audience doesn't know which of the two girls is the potential suicide victim. The cast of characters includes a cheerleader, an athlete, a kid who wants desperately to be popular, the class clown, the weirdo, an overweight girl and Bob — the only member of the math and astronomy club, according to the www.dramaticpublishing.com catalog listing.
Making up the cast are Landon Mabe, Erin Vaughan, Michaela Comer, Karson Goggans, Brianna Stone, Hope Greaves, Ty Fitch, Joseph Fischer, Bailey Braddock, Brent Brewer and Tristan White.
The crew includes Shelbie Lackey, Madison Thomas, Taylor Petty, Jaycee Allen, Laura Rodriguez and Alysse Bullock.
Cumby English teacher Anita Comer is the one act play director.

|was a 24-month project (running from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2013) co-funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme.
Project Objective
"To Overcome failure to Publish nEgative fiNdings"
Results from clinical studies are an essential factor determining clinical decision making. It is therefore important that the results of all studies are presented in an unbiased and easily accessible manner. Health professionals and policymakers should make healthcare decisions based on the entire relevant research evidence, not on partial or skewed evidence. This, however, can frequently not be achieved, to a large part because a considerable amount of research findings are not published; this phenomenon is called publication bias.
Publication bias results from the tendency of authors to submit, and of journals to accept, manuscripts for publication based on the direction or strength of the study findings. If manuscripts are not published because of an undesirable direction or perceived lack of strength of its findings, that evidence will not contribute towards advancing science. However, patients who participate in clinical research and the funding bodies who provide financial support do so with the clear understanding that their contributions will add to the progress of scientific knowledge. Publication bias therefore wastes considerable human and financial resources and skews the evidence base.
The OPEN project is bringing together key opinion leaders from across Europe to address this issue.
The first objective of OPEN is to identify and explore the current evidence on publication bias. Previous research has shown that publication bias exists in the scientific literature and that it significantly contributes to distorting evidence. Therefore, we will conduct systematic reviews to assess
1) the current state of the literature addressing the definitions and the nature of publication bias,
2) approaches of detecting publication bias in systematic reviews and approaches of measuring publication bias, and
3) the extent and impact of publication bias on systematic reviews and health technology assessments.
The second objective of OPEN is to describe current practice by various key groups involved in knowledge generation and translation in order to provide insights on how to avoid or reduce publication bias and to identify ways to change this practice. This will be addressed by assessing and evaluating the policies and procedures in place for preventing publication bias by the main parties involved in funding, conducting and publishing clinical research. These will include surveying funding agencies, the (pharmaceutical) industry, research ethics committees, research institutions, researchers, trial registers, biomedical journals, regulatory agencies, and benefit assessment agencies.
The findings of OPEN will provide the basis for a European consensus workshop which will address the issues raised. The results of OPEN and the subsequent workshop deliberations will result in recommendations for implementing effective measures to avoid publication bias at all levels. Participation and involvement of journal editors of the main European journals, including the BMJ (member of OPEN's advisory board and member journals of the International Committee of Medical Journal editors, together with the leader of WP 6) and a representative from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (leader of WP 8) will further expedite the uptake of the resulting recommendations by the relevant institutions, particularly at the journal level.
Expected Results
OPEN will raise awareness of the effects of publication bias and highlight its impact on various individual and institutional groups involved. This will be achieved by assessing the status quo of the evidence and surveying the major institutions involved regarding their policies and procedures in place to avoid publication bias. Our first aim is to highlight the problem and formulate recommendations aiming at reduction and prevention of publication bias. Our second and ultimate aim is to initiate the implementation of more adequate mechanisms to control publication bias.

Perez claims in her memoir 'Handbook for an Unpredictable Life' that Lopez was like 'some ghetto biatch, screaming and pounding her chest!'
Rosie Perez revealed a feud with Jennifer Lopez in her new memoir "Handbook for an Unpredictable Life", which is out on February 25. Perez first met Lopez at an open casting call in New York in 1991 when she worked as a choreographer on "In Living Color".
According to an excerpt obtained by New York Post, Perez claimed that she noticed Lopez's talents but the show's host and creator Keenan Ivory Wayans did not want to hire her, allegedly calling the "Jenny From the Block" singer "chubby and corny." The actress went on saying that she contributed to Lopez being cast in the show.
"All of the girls were coming into my office complaining how she was manipulating wardrobe, makeup, and me, all to her advantage," Perez claimed after Lopez was in, but the singer said that they were just "jealous." The "Pineapple Express" star then said that Lopez dropped her "sweet-girl act" and "went off" like "some ghetto biatch, screaming and pounding her chest!"
"You pick on me, me and only me, every f**king day! Every f**king day! I work my a** off, deliver and you keep pushing me aside, treating me like s**t! I know I'm good! I'm better than any of these girls, and you know it," Lopez allegedly said at that time. She left the show after two seasons to pursue other career opportunities.
After Lopez was successful, Perez said that the singer made "disparaging comments" about her in Hollywood. However, the singer talked to her like nothing happened when one day they met in a club. "Jennifer came over to me, smiling, saying hello as if nothing had happened. I should've let it go, played it off, too. Instead, I killed her with my biting tongue," she wrote.

This report presents national estimates of sexual activity, contraceptive use, and births among males and females 15-19 years of age in the United States in 2006-2008 from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG).
As previous data showed, having first sex at a younger age within the teen years is associated with more negative circumstances and consequences. Females who were younger at first sex are more likely to report it was unwanted; both females and males who were younger at first sex are more likely to accumulate higher numbers of sexual partners and have more partners within a recent time frame.
