Comedy writer Jeffrey Hodes has died suddenly from cancer treatment-related complications. He was in his 40s. Hodes had cancer but was in remission and was getting ready for a bone marrow transplant. He went in yesterday for a blood transfusion in preparation for the transplant when he started having breathing problems. An MRI revealed blood in his brain and, after a day in intensive care, he was taken off life support this afternoon. For his entire career, Hodes worked with Nastaran Dibai, who was his wife and writing partner. Hodes is survived by Dibai and their young daughter. Hodes and Dibai worked together on such comedy series as According to Jim, 3rd Rock From the Sun and The Nanny and the Kelly Ripa-starring Hope & Faith. Last year, Hodes and Dibai developed a comedy project for ABC with Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos. "Jeffrey Hodes was a brilliant comedy writer, an amazing showrunner and a wonderful husband and father," Ripa said. "I considered myself one of the luckiest people alive to call him a true friend. I will miss him terribly." The Ripa/Consuelos project was executive produced by Aaron Kaplan, who collaborated with Hodes and Dibai on several projects, including the ABC pilot Funny in Farsi, which the writing duo created. "He was an fantastic writer and an even better husband and father." Kaplan said. "The world has lost a truly talented man." TV producer Mindy Schultheis was also among Hodes' close friends (Hodes and Dibai wrote for the Lifetime comedy Rita Rocks, which Schultheis produced). "I'm heartbroken," Schultheis said. "I honestly don't even have the words to express how much he will be missed. He had a passion for life, his family and his work that permeated all he did. He was not only an incredibly talented writer but he was a truly wonderful guy." Up until Hodes' death, he and Dibai were serving as co-executive producers on TV Land's recently renewed series Happily Divorced, reuniting with The Nanny star/co-creator Fran Drescher. The two wrote the first-season finale of the comedy, their last produced episode.

Just seen this posted on Twitter from Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos. Didn't know of him, but one doesn't have to know someone in order to pay their respects. Someone's son, grandson, brother, friend…. Rest In Peace Jeffrey Hodes.
So sad to hear of an incandescent talent such as Jeff Hodes leaving us too soon. May his family, friends and loved ones find a balm in knowledge that his comedic artistry left millions of smiles across the country, a nice and enduring legacy to have. RIP Jeff.
Jeffrey had a beautiful light in him and will be sorely missed.
I was lucky enough to know Jeffery and considered him more than a friend… he was family. To say we suffered a loss today is not enough. Everyday we will feel this loss. He was brilliant, amazingly funny, sweet and 100% real. He will live on through his amazing wife and daughter and will be missed dearly.
Jeffrey was a mensch.
You will have trouble finding as true and as honorable a man as Jeffrey Hodes not only in Hollywood, but in North America. I had the honor of working for him and his amazing wife and I can tell you that — with the exception of my parents — that there was no one I wanted to disappoint less than him.
I am truly devastated by the loss of such an incredible man. Jeffery was a man of honor with a passion for his work and his family. The love and friendship that existed between Jeffrey and Nastaran was palpable- their banter unlike any other. Jeffrey was a beautiful soul and will be greatly missed…
The "3rd Rock" staff truly felt like a family, and we are devastated to have lost two members in the past year. I worked with Jeffrey and Nastaran for only a brief time, but he was a smart, solid guy, enthusiastic, funny, and kind. This is terrible, tragic news.
I'm devastated by the loss of my friend and one of the truly good guys in this business. For 20 years, I've had the privilege and pleasure of hanging out, knocking back beers and laughing my head off with Jeffrey and I've cherished every minute of it. He was an amazing man, an phenomenal husband and father and a truly special human being. The world's a lesser place without him and I'll miss him more than I can even articulate. Rest well, my friend.
What an incredible man. I'm honored to have known him and loved him. He made every time together important. I will always miss hime … and being thanked for my hard work this season.
What a terrible loss. I was on 3rd Rock with Jeffrey and Nastran and then was lucky enough to reunite with them only last year. Jeffrey was a true force. He will be missed.
My heart goes out to Nastran and their daughter.
Jeffrey was supportive, kind, self-deprecating, and funny — the best kind of writer to be in the trenches with. I'll miss you, Hodes.
That is very sad. He was going in for treatment and dies. May he rest in peace. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
What a shock and a loss. Jeffrey was such a lovely man and a class act. Will be missed by all lucky enough to have known him.
Jeffrey was assistant on Equal Justice so many years ago and we all knew he was going to go far as a writer. He was already too funny for our show.
He was also a really warm decent guy.
This is just awful to hear. There is no spin for this.
A beacon, a light, a fighter til the end. You fought a good fight Jeffrey. Now may you find peace at last. Good night my friend.
RIP. You're a good man, Jeff.
A singular voice, a wonderful friend, father, husband. All have been extinguished in one deeply talented and beloved man. He leaves a gaping hole that used to be filled with love, friendship, talent, loyalty,sensitivity, insight and courage in the face of such difficult illness. We were all so much richer to have known Jeffrey, and are now poverty stricken at his loss…
Danielle Gelber
Jeffrey Hodes was the showrunner on the first TV show I ever worked on, and he was an incredibly kind, talented man. I am very saddened to hear of his passing.
I worked with Jefferey and knew him as a talented writer and a genuinely nice man in a Not-always-nice business. My regret now is that I didn't get to know him better. I am so very sad for his family.
I had the chance to work with Jeffrey on a few shows. The world truly lost an amazingly talented writer and one hell of a nice guy. RIP Jeffrey.
I was in the P.A. trenches with Jeff all those years ago, and remember him as nothing but warm and funny. Glad to see from these comments that those qualities never changed with time and success. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.
There must have been a need for an angel somewhere.
I am truly saddened. It is a rare occasion in this business when you meet and work with
a person of impeccable character. Such a man was Jeff.
Jeffrey was ALWAYS fun to be around.
He was a talented writer, an amazing honest husband and father…and a great boss.
I spent some of the best days of my life with Jeffrey on Hope and Faith.
I will miss him in so many ways.
RIP Jeffrey…finally

The secret to a $3 billion deal struck between
"We're not going to tell you that your bolts have to be pink, you can have the bolts whatever colour you want," explains
Specifying the colour of bolts used to build a new road sounds a little extreme, but it is finicky requirements of this kind that have pushed up the cost of building infrastructure in Australia.
So when Transurban approached the NSW government just after Charlton became CEO in mid-2012 with an idea to build an underground tunnel linking two freeways, the M2 and F3, that would help commuters avoid the congested Pennant Hills road, it took a novel approach.
Typically, governments issue statements of "technical works" between 1000 and 2000 pages outlining in precise detail how infrastructure should be built, Charlton says.
"Where, every entry and exit is [an explanation of] how to turn on a fan, how you turn off a fan."
But in this case the government handed over responsibility for managing the tender process to Transurban. The result was a very different technical works document.
"We issued an eight-page document that basically said we need to start at this end, we need to finish at this end, we need to move this amount of vehicles the most efficiently we can using the least amount of energy, so you guys figure out how best to design it."
The end result was that the government got a bigger bang for their buck than expected. "We had a requirement it be 4.6 metres high, two lanes minimum with a preference for three lanes and we started off with a 7.7 kilometre tunnel," says NSW's Minister for Roads and Ports,
The tunnel, named NorthConnex by the NSW government, is the first new piece of transport infrastructure to be built following an unsolicited proposal since NSW started working more closely with the private sector on new projects in early 2012. "It is a watershed for the industry," claims Charlton.
NorthConnex's development is also being closely watched by foreign toll road operators keen to get a foothold in the Australian market. The world's largest toll road group, Spain's
Delighted at outcome
Both the NSW government and Transurban say they are delighted with the outcome of the NorthConnex deal. "The people of NSW like doing business with [Transurban] because it is a company that listens," says Gay, who describes Charlton as an up-front guy.
Transurban and the government formed a working group to progress the proposal, and Transurban also held weekly meetings with the construction groups bidding to build NorthConnex.
Charlton meanwhile applauds the "collaborative, collective effort" made by the NSW government, including its Roads and Maritime Services agency.
"You have to have on both sides a level of trust and understanding and transparency, and that can be hard between the government and the private sector."
But while the NSW government will also be encouraging fresh ideas from companies bidding to build and operate its next big road project, the $11 billion WestConnex motorway, it points out Transurban was in a unique position to pitch for NorthConnex.
Transurban already owns or owns stakes in all of Sydney's toll roads except for the M4 running through western Sydney, which is owned by the state government. So it made financial sense for Transurban and its partners on its Westlink M7 toll road, investment funds
While the state and federal governments will contribute around $400 million each to NorthConnex, Transurban and its partners will pay for the rest and have the rights to operate the toll road until 2048.
The state government has also allowed Transurban to raise fares for trucks on the Westlink M7 to help pay for NorthConnex's construction.
The government has however been strict about setting guidelines for toll fares on NorthConnex, mindful of keeping fares at acceptable levels to the public. Tolls will be set at the same levels as Sydney's M2 toll road – $6.11 for cars and $18.32 for trucks.
Charlton argues the financial discipline shown by both Transurban – which has a vested stake in the financial success of NorthConnex – and the government helped drive innovative bids with the construction cost strictly limited to $2.65 billion (engineering, consulting and financing costs are expected to be around $350 million).
"We went to the market and said 'OK, we're going to procure this construction contract, and by the way guys, it's got to come in within $2.65 billion'." The winning consortium, a joint venture between
Ventilation stacks are being placed at the ends of NorthConnex instead of along the tunnel to reduce exhaust emissions throughout the route. The tunnel has also been kept t as flat as possible to minimise energy used by trucks.
David Saxelby, CEO of Lend Lease's construction and infrastructure business, says the NorthConnex tender was significantly more efficient and less costly than similar bids.

A BASINGSTOKE driving instructor is set to star in a popular television show, helping a veteran actor improve his driving.
Colin Wilkinson, an AA Driving School instructor from Basingstoke, will star in the second series of Dangerous Drivers' School for four episodes, starting tomorrow evening.
He will be helping Melvyn Hayes, famous for his roles in TV programmes 'Ain't Half Hot, Mum' and 'Summer Holiday' to become safer on the roads on the Channel 5 programme.
Colin, 49, who teaches across Basingstoke, said: "It was a really enjoyable process to try and help Melvyn become a safer driver.
"I think there are probably a lot of drivers out there who will be able to identify with what he's been struggling with.
"Although he has been driving for a long time, things have changed significantly on the roads and he has started to lose confidence in his ability and knowledge.
"His daughter was also becoming increasingly concerned about his safety.
"With something like driving that most people do very regularly, it is all too easy to bury your head in the sand about problems you are having and just try to battle on regardless.
"But there is help out there and people should not feel they have to struggle on alone."
Melvyn, 77, said: "I passed my test when I was about 20, which over 50 years ago now.
"When I did my test it was completely different. You had to do special hand signals, but why don't you have to do hand signals anymore? The only saving grace is that I'm too old now to die young."
To launch the programme, the AA Charitable Trust has made 2,000 free courses available for qualified, rusty drivers who want to get their confidence back. For more details visit www.theaa.com.

wikiHow to Fix a Broken Friendship
Five Parts:Making Amends With a FriendAsking Your Friend for ForgivenessForgiving Your FriendLetting Go of Resentment and AngerAssessing Whether a Friendship Should Be RepairedCommunity Q&A
Sometimes friendships go through difficult times which means you will have some fights and arguments. If you still value someone's friendship and want that person in your life, you'll need to let that person know and either apologize or accept your friend's apology. With honesty and communication, most friendships can be repaired and future problems avoided.
Part 1
Making Amends With a Friend
1Reflect on why the friendship is important to you. No matter what has happened between you and your friend, it may be helpful to recall why you became friends in the first place. That individual may have similar values or experiences, or he or she may have helped you through difficult times. Recognize why you've remained friends, and think about what you value most in knowing that individual.[1]
- Think about the costs and benefits of re-establishing your friendship.
- You stand to gain a potentially valuable friend back in your life, but be aware that you may have to be the one to apologize and take responsibility for what happened (even if you don't feel like it was your fault).
- Consider any long-standing problems in your friendship. Has that person had a tendency to say or do hurtful things to you over the course of your friendship?
2Reach out to your friend. Perhaps your friend is trying to give you space, or perhaps he or she feels too nervous to make the first move. If your friend doesn't reach out to you, you'll need to be the one who steps up and begins repairing the friendship.[2]
- Depending on the nature of your friendship and the severity of your argument, you may decide to call, text, email, or have an in-person visit with that friend.
- Meeting in person may facilitate more of a back-and-forth discussion. It may be best to meet in a mutual, public place so that neither of you feels intimidated or under pressure.
- Be honest and up front with your friend. If you were hurt, let your friend know so, and if you hurt your friend let him or her know you're sorry right from the start.
3Avoid restarting an argument. When you talk to your friend about trying to repair the friendship, it's important that you don't say or do anything hurtful. This will only further damage the friendship, and it may make things irreparable.[3]
- Try to express your feelings without using inflammatory or accusatory words.
- Use "I" statements rather than declaratives. For example, instead of saying "You were a selfish jerk," say something like, "I felt like you didn't care about my feelings, and I felt hurt by the things you said."
- Ask questions rather than making accusations. For example, instead of saying, "You made a really dumb decision," ask your friend, "Why did you decide to do that? I'm having trouble understanding."
4Acknowledge your mistakes and apologize. Even if you feel like your friend was to blame, it will help repair the friendship if you acknowledge your own mistakes. Whether the mistakes are relevant to the situation at hand or have caused problems in the past, a mutual apology will help bridge the conflict and strengthen your friendship.
5Let go of your expectations and be grateful for your friend. Once you and your friend move past the conflict you've resolved, you should try to avoid future conflicts. The best way to do this is by letting go of unrealistic or unfair expectations for your friend and recognizing that friend's value in your life.[6]
- Take a genuine and sincere interest in your friend's well-being. Ask your friend about work, relationships, and other life events to show you care.
- Don't take your friend for granted. Try to reflect on what makes that individual so special every time you interact.
Part 2
Asking Your Friend for Forgiveness
1Give your friend time and space to cool down after a fight. If you've said or done something hurtful to a friend, that individual may not be ready to talk just yet (let alone forgive you). Sometimes it takes time to stop feeling angry, and trying to force a conversation right away may make it difficult for your friend to forgive you.[7]
- Tensions tend to be highest right after a fight, and depending on the individual and the nature of your argument you may need to wait a few days or a few weeks.
- If you wait longer than a few days after a fight before talking, you may want to at least let your friend know that you're giving him or her some space. That way your friend won't think you've abandoned the friendship.
2Assess why you acted badly. While you're giving your friend space, take some time for yourself to calm down and think about what you could have done differently to avoid fighting. In the heat of a moment it may be difficult to consider other courses of action, but as you reflect on what you said or did you'll probably see that you could have behaved differently and avoided this conflict.[8]
- Consider whether your argument was based on jealousy, malice, or forgetfulness/incompetence. If you acted out of jealousy or ill will, you'll need to analyze the situation and figure out why you behaved the way you did.
- Ask yourself whether you would be hurt if your friend treated you the way you treated him or her.
- Consider the possibility that you may have deep-seated issues with anger or insecurity. If this is the case, you may want to consider seeing a qualified therapist who can help you work through these issues.
3Apologize and ask for forgiveness. If you're serious about repairing your friendship and you can acknowledge that you were at fault, you will need to apologize. You will only be able to move forward as friends if you acknowledge those mistakes to your friend and ask him or her for forgiveness.[9]
- Start the conversation by saying that you're sorry for the way you behaved.
- List the specific things you said or did that were problematic and acknowledge to your friend how these behaviors have hurt his or her feelings.
- Apologize again. By repeating your apology you'll let your friend know that you understand how you've hurt him or her and have taken it to heart.
- Let your friend speak. He or she may want to vent at you or reiterate some of the things you've already said, and you'll need to be patient as your friend does so.
- Acknowledge the things your friend says, apologize again, and let your friend know what you'll do differently next time. Then ask your friend if he or she can forgive you, and let him or her know how much you value your friendship.
4Avoid falling into the same bad behavior in the future. Apologies are meaningless if you don't correct the behavior you apologized for. If you're serious about making amends and repairing your friendship, you'll need to make some changes in the way you speak to and interact with your friend. This will take time and a lot of effort, but ultimately it's the best way to grow as a person and rebuild your friendship.
- Consider asking your friend (and even other friends) to help you become more aware of bad habits that you can't recognize.
- Carry a small notebook and write down any instance in which you feel like behaving badly towards a friend. Then write out the circumstances (where, when, why, and with whom) and try to figure out why you had that reaction.
- If you've noticed that you have a consistent pattern of bad behavior, you may want to talk to a therapist about how to make meaningful changes in your life. You can find a therapist near you by searching online or checking your local phone book.
Part 3
Forgiving Your Friend
1Let go of anger or frustration. Often times people hold onto anger in order to feel like they have some control over an unpleasant situation. Other times people simply can't let go of their hurt feelings. Whatever your situation may be, it's important to release the negative feelings you're having and open yourself up to the possibility of forgiving your friend.[10]
- Recognize that holding onto anger doesn't solve anything. It won't make your friend feel any more remorseful; all it does is make you feel bitter and miserable.
- Recognize that you can forgive someone and still have them take responsibility for their words and actions. You don't need to withhold forgiveness in the hope that someone will feel bad, because there's a good chance they already feel bad.
2Decide whether you can forgive what happened. Depending on the nature of your dispute, you may feel like you could never get over what happened. These feelings often fade with the passing of time, but sometimes they don't fade. If you try to force yourself to forgive someone before you're ready (or if you know you'll never really be ready), you may actually end up feeling more traumatized and/or angry in the long run.[11]
- Perhaps not enough time has passed for you to feel ready to forgive. If this is the case, let your friend know that you aren't closing the door on him or her, you just need more time.
- You're not obligated to forgive anyone. However, it's important to recognize that holding on to anger and resentment won't fix what happened.
- Only you can decide if you're ready and able to forgive your friend. Think about the severity of what happened, how to move past it, and whether your friendship will ever be the same.
3Try to forgive your friend. If you've decided that you can move past your friend's wrongdoing, you'll need to mentally, emotionally, and verbally forgive your friend. Have a long, calm conversation about what happened and talk about ways to avoid a similar situation in the future.
- Don't hold what happened over your friend's head. If your friend has apologized and you've forgiven him or her, it would be wrong of you to bring up past wrongdoings or shame your friend.
- Recognize that forgiving doesn't necessarily mean forgetting. Rather, forgiveness means acknowledging the unbiased circumstances of what happened and finding a way to live with it.[12]
Part 4
Letting Go of Resentment and Anger
1Consider the facts of the situation. If you're feeling resentful of your friend, you may be stuck in your subjective interpretation of what happened. However, there may be other factors that you haven't considered, including things that you and others said or did. Even if your friend was at fault, he or she may have had other circumstances that you weren't aware of.[13]
- Think about how your friend acted, how you reacted, and what circumstances led up to that encounter.
- Ask yourself whether you or anyone else may have played a role in your friend's bad behavior.
- Acknowledge that your friend may not have been acting out of malice. Many people behave poorly when they're hungry, angry, lonely, tired, or otherwise uncomfortable.[14]
2Talk to your friend about the way you feel. Communication is vital in repairing a friendship. If you're serious about moving past your friend's transgression and letting go of your anger, you'll need to tell your friend why you're upset and listen to what he or she has to say.[15]
- Count to 10 before speaking. Use those 10 seconds to process your feelings and to carefully choose your words before you say them.
- Use "I" statements to convey how you feel. This will help you communicate why you're struggling to forgive your friend without inciting a new argument.
- Be honest. If your friend hurt your feelings, let your friend know what you'd like him or her to do differently next time.
3Let your friend apologize, and be an active listener. If your friend decides to apologize, it's important that you listen actively to what he or she says. Your friend may have felt that he or she was justified at the time, or there may be other circumstances that you weren't aware of. Listen to your friend and trust that his or her apology is sincere.[16]
- Repeat what your friend says back to him or her to register that you understand what's being said. This shouldn't be a word-for-word repetition, just a summary of how your friend feels.
- If your friend says that he or she didn't realize that your feelings were hurt, say something like, "I understand you didn't know how I felt. I'll work on communicating better if you can work on trying to be more sensitive to my feelings."
4Recognize that resentment will not change the past. If your friend has apologized, you can either forgive that friend and move on or end the friendship. Even if you decide to end the friendship, you'll need to let go of resentment at a certain point.[17]
- Ask yourself whether you're really mad at your friend over what happened. Often times people mentally confuse someone from their present life with someone from their past and project anger and resentment on current friends.
- Even if your friend was at fault, holding a grudge won't change what happened. Resenting your friend may also impair that friend's ability to grow and change his or her behavior in the future.
- If you can't forgive your friend, you at least owe it to yourself to let go of your resentment. Try to come to terms with what happened and move past it if you can.
Part 5
Assessing Whether a Friendship Should Be Repaired
1Identify the signs of a toxic friendship. It's a difficult fact to come to terms with, but some friendships aren't worth repairing. If your friend consistently treated you poorly or made you feel bad about yourself, you may not want to keep that friend in your life.[18]
- A toxic friend makes you compete for his or her friendship, whereas a good friend will accept you and make time for you without exception.
- Toxic people tend to force you to abandon your own problems to deal with theirs.
- A good friend would offer criticism with compassion, not with a self-righteous attitude or with any sense of smugness.
- Healthy, mutual friendships involve a balance of both friends reaching out to the other. If your friend never calls or texts you, or if you are always the one who has to make plans, there may be an imbalance in the friendship.
- A surefire sign of a toxic friendship is if you feel like you can't be yourself around that person. If you're forced to walk on eggshells, it's probably not a good friendship.
2Evaluate whether your friendship is healthy and mutually-beneficial. Even if your friendship wasn't toxic, it may have simply been a bad arrangement. Think about how you felt around this person and ask yourself whether it was honestly supportive and comfortable to be friends with that individual.[19]
- You should feel like you can generally trust your friend. You should also feel supported by one another.
- Your friend should inspire you to grow, and you should do the same for your friend.
- Your friend should show you kindness, encouragement, and empathy. If your friend is generally incapable of giving you these things, it may not be a healthy friendship.
3Cut off ties with toxic friends. If you've decided that a friendship isn't worth saving, you'll need to cut off all ties with that person. Keeping that person in your life will be damaging and may make it difficult to move past this or other transgressions.[20]
- Be firm and direct. Don't just block someone's phone number and avoid them forever - get some type of closure by verbally ending the friendship.
- You can end a friendship in a polite, respectful way. For example, you might say something like, "I've been thinking about our friendship and I think I need to take a break. I don't like the way I feel when we're around each other - I think I need to sort some things out for myself."
Community Q&A
What if we were really close, but then they started ignoring me? Should I try repairing it? I miss the old friend but I did NOTHING WRONG.wikiHow ContributorIf you miss them, that probably means they were a good friend and it is worth trying to repair the relationship. Open communication is the best tactic in this case. Simply say, "Hey, I miss hanging out, did I do something to upset you?" I know you think you didn't do anything, but you really never know, and it's also just a good opener for the conversation. See what they say and go from there.
I have a crush on my guy best friend. I told him that I did, and now our friendship is very awkward. We haven't spoken very much for the past few weeks and I really miss having him as a friend. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorTry to pull him aside and talk honestly about your friendship. If you would not like to consult him in person about the situation, try leaving him a note.
What do I do if they continously say they will change but they don't?wikiHow ContributorTell them the truth about why you want them to change.
It was unknown to me that I was suffering from severe depression. I had a lot of anger and used my ex best friend as a verbal punching bag. I miss her, but she won't talk to me. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorMaybe you could write her a letter apologizing for your past behavior and explaining why you behaved that way. Tell her that you are working on resolving your issues, would love to be her friend again, and would not treat her that way again - but you understand if she doesn't want to be friends and just wanted to let her know that you're sorry and you didn't mean those things.
Can a damaged person be repaired?wikiHow ContributorYes, with work and time.
What if my best friend is taking the side of the person you're fighting with and doesn't want to be my friend anymore?wikiHow ContributorIf your 'friend' is being disloyal to you by not backing you up, then they were never a good friend to begin with in the first place. All you should worry about is that you held your own in the argument and they showed their real colors by being disloyal to you.
I was bitten by my friend's dog. It was an accident and I am not angry with her. However, my family believes that she is to blame for the incident. What can I do to fix this?First, if you haven't done so already, get the bite looked after. Then, ask your family why they think she is to blame. You want to listen to their arguments, with patience and interest. Be prepared to change your mind if necessary. At the same time, remember that even if she is to blame, that doesn't mean you can no longer be friends. In either case you want to talk to your family and explain that you value her friendship more than what this incident can break and hope to get their support.
I've tried to apologize to my friend and they said whatever, but now they are seeming distant. I don't want to seem pushy by trying to apologize again, yet I want to know how they feel. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorSometimes it's best to leave things as they were. All you can do is apologize and try your best to make restitution. Other individuals have to forgive as well. Try just seeing if they want to hang out. Don't bring it up. If you lost their trust you will need to gain it back before they open back up again.
What do I do if I've attempted to plan a sleepover many times, but my friend always makes excuses and I don't know if I did anything wrong?wikiHow ContributorJust be direct. Say something like, "Why do you keep making plans and then cancelling them? Is everything okay?" Don't assume it has anything to do with you. It could be something like your friend's parents arguing, maybe very strict parents who are easily upset, or maybe your friend snores or something like that and is embarrassed to have a guest overnight. Some people are also just very unreliable. Don't take it personally either way. Just stop making plans with her if you know she will cancel.
What if my friend shushes me when I try to solve the problem?wikiHow ContributorLet your friend have some time to think over the situation. When they seem calmer, approach them and ask if they're willing to talk. If they say no, then just let them know that you're willing to talk whenever they want to solve the problem. Sometimes people just need to cool off for awhile.
- Don't drag other people into your dispute. You should also resist the urge to make your struggling friendship public on social media or any other public forum.
- Don't solicit the opinions of family members and other friends. If you do reconcile, it may make social gatherings with those individuals awkward.

Hi Al, nice to meet you, I'm Jason. I read your comment, and was just curious regarding your view of "Mere Christianity," do you believe protestants go to heaven?
I'm a young earth creationist, but I think Christians should use every conceivable argument to help people come to Christ. The fine-tuning argument is outstanding, I don't know how we still have Atheists in the face of that argument. I guess it just shows that they reject God for spiritual reasons, and not scientific ones.
The problem is you can't demonstrate a single point of origin at that time for any of those churches. The EO and RC both have apostolic roots which cannot be denied historically.
The only things that "didn't develop till 300 years later" was the New Testament canon, which was pronounced upon authoritatively by the bishops of the Catholic church in union with the bishop of Rome. Dr. Craig, I am tremendously grateful for your ministry and pray that God's will be accomplished in your life.
Dear Dr Craig. As an Irishman I would like to say thank you very much for your St Patrick's Day Blessings. I am a big fan of your work. I love watching your debates and listening to your podcasts. We would love to have you visit Ireland some day in the near future. If you do, the pints are on me. Keep up the God Work. Best regards, James from Dublin Ireland.
Al, I think the reply available to one like Dr. Craig here, defensibly so, would be that he himself does in fact belong to the same Church which the Saints and the Church Fathers belonged to--namely, the Church which Jesus Christ himself founded.
Al, the Catholic church and the Eastern Orthodox Church does not own the early church or the fathers in ANYWAY shape or form. Nor did Jesus found those churches. didn't develop till 300 years later.
Dr. Craig, I must say how much I enjoy watching you defend the faith and comment on current events. I am very grateful for your work defending C.S. Lewis's 'Mere Christianity'.
I do, however, find myself quite puzzled when you refer to certain historical figures by their proper titles, such as Saints and Church Fathers, while you do not yourself belong to the same Church which the Saints and Church Fathers belonged to - the same one which Jesus Christ Himself founded. I believe that Christian unity is found within that Church, the one which produced the Bible and kept it free of error for over 1200 years before men decided to split from it, men who were excommunicated by it for their unrepentant error in the same way that it excommunicated Arius and others.
Please don't take this as an attack - not at all. Rather, take it as an invitation to join this Church. I don't expect a response, as I know that whatever stance you take could alienate people from your defense of Mere Christianity. I would just like you and other Christians out there to consider joining the one true Church. For truth's sake.
God bless you and your work, and happy Saint Patrick's Day!

San Francisco (AFP) Oct 22, 2012
Yahoo! on Monday reported that its quarterly profit rocketed above $3 billion, fueled by the sale of part of its stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.
Alibaba last month announced that it bought back billions of dollars worth of stock from Yahoo! in a step toward independence from the US Internet pioneer.
The California company's revenue from display advertising was little changed from the same quarter last year but Yahoo! reported its income from ads served up with online search results was up 11 percent.
The earnings topped Wall Street expectations and Yahoo! shares climbed nearly three percent to $16.20 in after-market trading on the Nasdaq.
"Yahoo! had a solid third quarter, and we are encouraged by the stabilization in search and display revenue," said chief executive Marissa Mayer.
"We're taking important steps to position Yahoo! for long-term success, and we're confident that our focus on quality and improving the user experience will drive increased value for our advertisers, partners and shareholders."
Mayer took over in July at Yahoo! after 13 years at Google, in a move aimed at reinvigorating the struggling Internet firm.
The encouraging earnings report marked Mayer's return from maternity leave. She gave birth to a boy early this month.
Alibaba Group Holding Limited has completed an initial repurchase of shares from Yahoo! and "restructured its relationship with the Silicon Valley company" in transactions valued at approximately $7.6 billion.
In May, the companies revealed that more than a year of negotiations had resulted in a deal for Yahoo! to sell back its stake in Alibaba.
The transaction will be carried out in stages, with the first step calling for a repurchase by Alibaba of up to one-half of Yahoo!'s stake, or approximately 20 percent of Alibaba's total shares.
Yahoo! would be paid in a combination of cash and newly-issued Alibaba preferred stock, the firms said.
The US company plans to return $3.65 billion in after-tax proceeds to shareholders, mostly by buying back shares of stock.
Yahoo! reported that it has already bought back $646 million worth of its stock, with $190 million spent on repurchasing shares in the recently ended third fiscal quarter.
It has been trying to reinvent itself as a "premier digital media" company since the once-flowering Internet search service found itself withering in Google's shadow.
Yahoo! in 2009 made a deal with Microsoft to have Bing handle the labor-intensive job of finding and indexing content on the Internet, freeing itself to concentrate on interesting or personalized ways to present results.

Suit challenging Google's digital library dropped
A federal judge handed Google Inc. a victory in a long-running legal battle on Thursday, tossing out a lawsuit claiming the Internet giant was violating copyright laws by scanning books without permission to create the world's largest digital library.
The Authors Guild had sued Google in federal court in Manhattan 2005, claiming the Mountain View, Calif.-based company was not making "fair use" of copyright material by offering searchable snippets of works in its online library.
Google has scanned more than 20 million books, most of them out-of-print, for the project. It includes the collections of the New York Public Library, Library of Congress and several major universities.

It turns out your nonrefundable ticket isn't entirely nonrefundable, after all. Taxes and government fees, which until now have disappeared into a void — and many believe, are simply pocketed by airlines — can be returned.
Just do what Susan Cornell did when Spirit Airlines wouldn't refund the taxes and fees on her canceled ticket: dispute your credit card charge.
Several months ago, she asked Spirit for her money back, but it didn't bother responding. Undeterred, she wrote to government officials and told her story to a national audience on Peter Greenberg's radio show.
Today we checked our American Express bill, where we charged the Spirit tickets, and we were given a $42 credit yesterday from Spirit. This is the amount in dispute — We won!
Apparently they can't keep the pre-paid travel taxes and government fees!
Maybe this small victory will put the spotlight on Spirit's billing practices and force Spirit to return money to others. Can you imagine how much money that might be?
Yes, I can.
It has all the makings of a class-action lawsuit that would involve the entire airline industry, particularly if an audit showed that airlines kept all of the money paid in taxes and fees and passed none of it along to the government. But even if it did, passengers would be able to take up their case with governments and airports. I'd pay good money to see that trial.
Has anyone else managed to get a refund on fees and taxes on a domestic, nonrefundable airline ticket?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
MIRI loves to be held and snuggled, though it takes her some time to warm up to new people. She's still easily overwhelmed, so young children make her very nervous.
WIth some patience, MIRI is a HUGE LOVEBUG who adores snuggling under the covers with you and sleeping in your lap. She would be an amazing companion for a quiet person or family.
MIRI, a Chicago Rat Terrier/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Chicago.

This week, Robin Torres of WoW Insider asks, What's your most and least favorite expansions?
I am a Wrath baby; I didn't even reach 80 for the first time until around the release of ICC. I can' remember where exactly in the patch timeline I finally dinged 80, but I remember during a bit of my levelling experience in Northrend I had access to the Random Dungeon Finder. Those who are more timeline savvy may be able to figure out exactly when I dinged, I'm pretty sure I was 80 for Christmas (that sounds like a bad Christmas jingle).
Given that, I never got to experience The Burning Crusade while it was "content," which was probably a good thing considering the 58-68 range is the part I dread most about levelling. Well, maybe right after the 50-58 range. It's hard to decide. I can't say I've hated any of the expansions I've actually played, so I'm going to give the Most Hated Expansion title to The Burning Crusade, because the parts of it I have experienced, I've hated.
Picking a favourite expansion is a bit more difficult. In terms of activity, I raided the most in Cataclysm, I was an active raider for 2 of the three tiers, while I was an active raider for only one of Wrath, and so far only one of Mists of Pandaria.
Out of all the expansions though, I must say that Northrend has some of my favourite scenery, especially Howling Fjord and the Grizzly Hills. It was also the first expansion I played in, and first expansion I raided in, so it will always hold a fond spot in my heart.
I know a lot of people didn't like Cataclysm, but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. As I've mentioned, I did most of my raiding in Cataclysm, and I was in Heroic raiding for both T11 and T12, which I had a blast in. Also, the Worgen were pretty cool (WE COULD HAVE NINJA WEREWOLVES), and let's face us, Azeroth needed a bit of a facelift. Oh, and flying in Azeroth, that was a blessing.
While I haven't played as much of Mists of Pandaria as the previous two expansions, I have still enjoyed what I have played of it quite a bit. The scenery in Pandaria is beautiful, there were a lot of quality of life changes brought around that were over due, and what raids I've participated in (I went 1/13H in ToT) were pretty cool. Plus, I think Monks are one of the coolest classes in the game, and Pandaren are one of my favourite races as well.
So this may sound a bit fanboy-ish, but I've loved every expansion I've played, and it's way too hard to pick just one for the illustrious title of "Favourite Expansion." I'm sad that Mists of Pandaria is drawing to a close, but I can't wait to see what Blizzard has in store for us next.

Fine tune access controls
In a business enterprise, administrators are often required to allow/ restrict certain features organization wide and selectively exempt users when needed. Consider, you need to restrict a group of users from storing their personal secrets in the Vault. In this case, Zoho Vault provides you with fine-grained access controls to tweak the access control for user(s). Administrators / super admins have privileges to access and modify these controls any time. You can access these controls by selecting 'Fine-Grained Controls' under the 'Admin' tab. The features provided here are -
- Restrict users from storing personal secrets:
With this option enabled, all users in the organization including the administrator/ super-admin will not be allowed to store personal passwords. This feature comes in handy when you want to control users from storing their personal information in your business network.
- Restrict users from exporting secrets:
Enterprises often incorporate policies that prevent employees from downloading company specific information. Enabling this option will restrict all users in the organization (including the administrator/ super-admin) from exporting secrets.
- Restrict offline access to secrets:
Zoho Vault provides a feature to export passwords as encrypted HTML for offline access. Enable this option to prevent users in the organization (including the administrator/super-admin) from exporting secrets for offline access.
- Restrict access to secrets through mobile apps:
Enterprises often wish to selectively restrict users from accessing company secrets outside the network. Selecting this option restricts all users in the organization (including the admin/super-admin) to access secrets through mobile apps.
Exempt specific users from restrictions:
Zoho Vault has a provision to exempt certain users from the above mentioned access restrictions. Only the super-admin/administrator has the permission to add exemptions. To add exemptions -
- Click 'Exempt specific users/ Modify exemption' under the required option in the 'Fine-Grained Controls' page.
- From the list of users on the left, select the users who are to be exempted and add them to the right by clicking on the right arrow button. If the list of users is long, you can find specific users using the search function.
- Click 'Save'.
The list of exempted users can be modified any time. Just click 'Exempt specific users/ Modify exemption' and make the required adjustments. All information modified here is captured in audit trails making the whole process traceable to its roots.

Griffon3 replied to Griffon3's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Lol, easy mistake to make. I meant Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) not IBS-D. But no it isn't really an improvement over when I was eating gluten. for the past couple of months its been especially worse, getting diarrhea every couple of days, and yeah they didn't show me the actual results of the test, but I think they told me it was slightly elevated and I am pretty sure they tested for transglutaminase whatever. I am going to go see my doctor on tuesday since my recent worsening of symptoms seemed to have started after taking the antibiotics for acne, I thought it might be C. Diff, but it came back negative. I am thinking it might be Crohn's or UC since there seems to be periods when I feel good then it gets bad again. I am seriously thinking of trying to eat some gluten to see what would happen though, but I'll probably wait until after Tuesday and see my doctor first. Also, I already had blood tests done twice for thyroid and came back negative both times. And I mean, other random symptoms I have been experiencing might be related to this, maybe I just wasn't linking them to my digestive issues. I've gotten things like random shortness of breath, chest pains while breathing, cuts on my feet that took years to heal even though I was keeping them clean and bandaged, burning in my heels that felt like my feet were on fire... But these things usually go away on their own fairly quickly (apart from the cuts) so I figured it was nothing. I never even mentioned them to my doctor, though I probably will on Tuesday. Maybe this is all part of one autoimmune disease? (How great would that be?!) I also still haven't been able to put on weight even since going gluten free. Also yes, I might have to try to just cut out dairy completely for a while and see what happens... My diet just feels so limited already... lol
Griffon3 replied to Griffon3's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)The only symptom I really ever had was diarrhea and I still get diarrhea like at least once a week. I guess discomfort accompanies it but I think that's pretty normal. Sometimes it hurts somewhat but other times it doesn't. I already take pills for the lactose thing since I first started having issues when I was around 13 and the lactose pills seemed to help a lot. Apparently I was also lactose intolerant when I was a baby, so I don't think the lactose intolerance was caused by celiac. I know one of the best ways to figure this out would be to just eat some gluten and see what happens, but I am kind of freaked out about what might happen to be honest. I have heard peoples' symptoms get worse after having been off it and then eating it again, and I am pretty sure I have been 100% off it for nearly 3 years already. :S I was mostly wondering if it might be something like crohn's or UC instead of celiac... I am most probably going to make an appointment with my doctor and get him to send me to someone who specializes in this stuff since at the moment I was just seeing my GP. Or, what are the chances of having both IBD and celiac disease? What about having both celiac disease and Diabetes-1? I have not been diagnosed with diabetes but I have reason to believe I might... Its just that I am going to have to wait until monday to get a doctor's appointment.
Griffon3 posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)This may be my first post, but I have been secretly stalking these forums for a long time, only now did I bother making an account because I am quite puzzled. I was diagnosed with celiac either 2 or 3 years ago, I don't really remember to be honest. They only did a blood test since I did not feel like getting an endoscopy done since I thought the blood test was probably pretty reliable right? So I went gluten free right after and although I can't remember exactly how bad my symptoms were before, I still get symptoms even many years later. I am questioning this diagnosis right now. What if I don't even have Celiac, but something else completely? I don't remember exactly what blood test they did to diagnose it. I am probably going to see my doctor about this soon, I just turned in some stool samples to check for parasites and C. Diff ( I had been on antibiotics for Acne :S) I was just wondering are there any other conditions that would produce positive results on a blood test that might cause some same symptoms as celiac? Or is there maybe some other reason going gluten free is not helping? I am pretty positive it is not cross contamination as I check everything before I eat. I won't even touch food that has fallen on my counter because other people in my house eat bread and leave bread crumbs everywhere, but I try and make 100% sure nothing I eat touches any surface in my kitchen, even forks and spoons and whatever else. Any ideas on what the issue could be???? I am at a total loss and I just want things to get better. ):

Moscow (RIA Novosti) Apr 25, 2011
Russia will not permit the first U.S. commercial spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station (ISS) unless its safety is fully tested, a high-ranking official with Russia's space agency Roscosmos said on Friday.
"We will not issue docking permission unless the necessary level of reliability and safety [of the spacecraft] is proven. So far we have no proof that those spacecraft duly comply with the accepted norms of spaceflight safety," said Alexei Krasov, who heads the manned spaceflight department of Roscosmos.
The statement comes in the wake of media reports that the spacecraft's designer, U.S. company SpaceX, requested NASA to authorize the docking in December.
earlier related report
"We'll probably put a first man in space in about three years," Elon Musk told the Wall Street Journal Saturday. "We're going all the way to Mars, I think... best case 10 years, worst case 15 to 20 years."
SpaceX is one of the two leading private space companies in the United States and has won $75 million from the US space agency NASA to help its pursuit of developing a spacecraft to replace the space shuttle.
The California-based company last year completed its first successful test of an unmanned space capsule into orbit and back.
"Our goal is to facilitate the transfer of people and cargo to other planets, and then it will be up to people if they want to go," said Musk, who also runs the Tesla company which develops electric cars.
The US space shuttle program is winding down later this year with final flights of Endeavour set for next week and Atlantis in June, ending an era of American spaceflight that began with the first space shuttle mission in 1981.
When the shuttle program ends, the United States hopes private industry will be able to fill the gap by creating the next generation of spacecraft to transport astronauts into space.
"A future where humanity is out there exploring stars is an incredibly exciting future, and inspiring, and that's what we're trying to help make happen," Musk added in the interview.
Earlier this month SpaceX unveiled what Musk has called the world's most powerful rocket, the Falcon Heavy, which will have its first demonstration flight at the end of 2012.
The launcher is designed to lift into orbit satellites or spacecraft weighing more than 53 metric tons, or 117,000 pounds - more than twice the capacity of the Space Shuttle or Delta IV Heavy launcher.
SpaceX, short for Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, is one of two private companies that NASA has contracted to transport cargo to the International Space Station.
Musk, a South African who made his fortune in the Internet, created SpaceX in 2002.

The Jaguars' roster purge under second-year general manager Gene Smith will continue Monday with the release of eight-year defensive tackle John Henderson, reports Adam Schefter.
Henderson was the team's first-round draft pick in 2002 and went to the Pro Bowl twice. Paired with Marcus Stroud in the middle of the defensive line, he helped give the team a strong-up-the middle, physical identity.
But he has worn down and not been nearly up to his earlier standard in the last two seasons, and was called out by coach Jack Del Rio for sitting out minicamp sessions last year with a shoulder injury.
The Jaguars used their top two picks in the draft for interior defensive lineman -- Tyson Alualu and D'Anthony Smith -- and are set to move on with those two, Terrance Knighton and Atiyyah Ellison as their defensive tackles.
Jacksonville tried to move Henderson during the draft, but clearly had no takers -- more evidence of how little value veteran players had during the three-day draft.
Schefter also reports that the Jaguars have withdrawn their RFA tender offer to linebacker Clint Ingram, who becomes unrestricted. A trade for Kirk Morrison Saturday gives the Jaguars an upgrade, and they will now play with Morrison in the middle, flanked by Daryl Smith and Justin Durant.
That makes for three first- and second-round picks the Jaguars have dumped in recent days. Along with Henderson and Ingram, they traded Quentin Groves to Oakland for a fifth-round pick.
The team now has just six of 15 first- and second-round draft picks from its seven drafts from 2000 through 2006 on the roster:
Brad Meester -- second round, 2000
Rashean Mathis --second round, 2003
Daryl Smith -- second-round, 2004
Greg Jones, second round, 2004
Marcedes Lewis, first round, 2006
Maurice Jones-Drew, second round, 2006

About MeHi,
My name is Rafal and I'm a founder and CEO of ImageProject.co.uk.
I'm a London based photographer with 10 years experience in photographing people and experimenting with SLR cameras. My passion started back in 2002 when impressed and inspired by great black and white portraits I got into B&W photography myself, created my own darkroom and spending hours taking and developing pictures. Photographing everyone and everything around me during a day and closing myself in a darkroom for long night hours became my daily routine. After 5 years of messing around with films, photo papers and chemicals I decided it was time to embrace new technology and try to get along with digital photography. I've never regretted that decision and am shooting and Photoshop®ping happily ever after.

That's just the way that story was written
"Old traditions meet new one," was the headline of our top story in the Tuesday, July 5 edition of the Danville Register & Bee.
The story, written by Denice Thibodeau and photographed by Steven Mantilla, was about the Fourth of July festivities that took place Monday at the Crossing at the Dan. There was a wide variety of activities for people of all ages and interests.
One reader, though, didn't like the coverage given to the display of military memorabilia at the Pepsi Building presented by local veterans. While nearly half the story in Tuesday's newspaper was about the display, that half was on the story jump (page A8) instead of on the front page.
He was especially disappointed that the hot dog eating contest dominated the front page.
Anyone who reads this newspaper's coverage of Veterans Day, Memorial Day and the Danville-Pittsylvania County Veterans Memorial knows we don't shy away from covering the people who have served our country. On Monday, July 4, the front page had a story about county native and war veteran Clyde East, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel.
But that coverage wasn't the issue; what the reader was angry about was the lack of coverage of the military display Monday at the Pepsi Building.
"I had to trim a lot," Thibodeau told me. "There was a lot going on over there."
Still, Thibodeau was impressed by what she saw at the Pepsi Building.
That said, if we had sent 100 reporters over to the Crossing Monday, we would have gotten 100 different stories — including many that highlighted and even featured what was on display at the Pepsi Building.
It just didn't happen that way. Instead, Thibodeau's focus was elsewhere.
To all the local veterans who feel like we should have given more attention, space and photographs to what was happening at the Pepsi Building, I ask you to judge our coverage of veterans based on all the stories that we write — not just on this particular event.
Highlighting the hot dog eating contest wasn't an attempt to slight other aspects of the city's Fourth of July celebration. It's just the way that particular story turned out.
