(Pictured above- Top: Nathanial "Sach" Kangas Bottom: Arvin Kangas)
Fairbanks- Not guilty pleas today for a Tanana man accused of fatally shooting two Alaska State Troopers.
20-year-old Nathanial "Sach" Kangas is charged with two counts of murder in the first degree along with other charges stemming from the May 1st shooting that left Sgt. Scott Johnson and Trooper Gabe Rich dead inside his home in Tanana.
His father, 58-year-old Arvin Kangas, who also pleaded not guilty today, is charged with tampering with physical evidence in the first degree as well as assault in the 4th degree in connection with the incident.
Representatives from the Tanana Tribal Council attended the arraignment today telephonically; they have asked that Arvin not return to Tanana for fear of their village resident's safety.
Joan Wilson, representative of the Tanana Tribal Council said, "the village was here today to attend the arraignment of Arvin Kangas, its main concern with being here is to assure the safety of the community."

Harrisburg police have charged two city men for a shooting last year that left a teenage girl partially paralyzed when she was struck by a stray bullet.
Sayid Hall, 18, of the 1200 block of Walnut Street, and Dyrelle Beaty, 20, of the 100 block of Royal Terrace, were each charged Wednesday with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, and related crimes, according to police.
Police suspect the two in a April 25, 2011 shooting in the 300 block of Crescent Street.
Seventeen-year-old Tajahana Anderson suffered a serious gunshot wound the her back, while her 18-year-old brother was hit in the ankle and another 18-year-old man suffered a grazing wound to his shoulder, police said.
All three were struck by stray bullets when at least two men opened fire on each other, police said.
"I'm happy they are going to do time for it," Anderson told abc27 News on Wednesday.
Anderson spent three months in the hospital. She still gets around in a wheelchair and goes totherapy three times a week. Doctors give her a 50-50 chance she'll walk again, but she's starting to see and feel progress.
"I'm starting to get sensations in my hips and I can move my hips more," she said. "And I have faith in God."
Anderson's mother, Tara Nealy, kept in contact with police and says they kept their promise.
"Sergeant Carter and Detective Neal did an awesome job," she said. "They assured the day she got shot that they were going to catch them."
Anderson said the arrests will allow her to focus on her number one goal to walk again, but she plans to be there when Hall and Beaty have their day in court.
"I will go and let them see what they did to me," she said. "It was not good for them to do. They should be in jail for what they did because they did change my life."
Police said their investigation is ongoing and other charges may be brought.

D2 Wrestling – UNO gets third straight!
KEARNEY, Neb. - Three was the magic number on Saturday night for the top-ranked UNO Maverick wrestling team, as the Mavs claimed their third straight national championship after three individual titles by the Maverick seniors at the NCAA Division II National Championships at the UNK Health & Sports Center.
Mario Morgan, Ryan Pankoke and Aaron Denson all finished off magical senior seasons with their first career national championships. The trio lifted UNO to its seventh national championship in school history, the sixth in the last eight years and third in a row.
UNO had not had three individual champions in the same year since 2006. It's the fifth time in school history that the Mavs have claimed three titles in the same year.
The Mavs entered the final round with 90.5 points, four points ahead of St. Cloud State, the only team within striking distance. But UNO earned 12 points with its three victories for a total of 102.5. St. Cloud State got one national champion to finish with 90.5 points. Augustana finished third at 81.5.

Rapid Rescore
What is a Rapid Rescore, and can a credit repair company do it?
Rapid Rescore is a great credit score adjustment tool available through mortgage originators; it is not available through credit repair companies. Rapid Rescore allows the mortgage originator to force an adjustment to your credit scores within a matter of days if you have acceptable documentation indicating a change in the content of your report. Read More »
I paid down all my credit cards. What can I do to get my scores to reflect the new balances?
If you are not in a hurry, all you need to do is wait. Your credit card companies will report your new balances to the bureaus in the normal course of business. Normally it takes between 45 and 60 days for the new balances to report. If you are concerned you can also call your credit card companies and ask them when they send updated balance information to the bureaus. Read More »
I'm planning to apply for a mortgage next month. Any last minute advice?
Good luck with your mortgage application! Your six months of credit repair really paid off and your credit looks great. I'm sure there will be no problem. Having said that, mortgage lenders set interest rates based on scores. And they use a sliding scale which allows for small incremental changes. Read More »
Credit Repair and Rapid Rescore
Rapid Rescore is a quick credit score adjustment process available only to mortgage originators. Rapid Rescore is a quick credit repair tool for those who are applying for a mortgage and need a fast score boost to meet the qualifying guidelines. Rapid Rescore is normally processed within 72 hours. But, unlike many other credit repair techniques you must have solid creditor documentation.
For example, if after a careful review of your credit report you determine that it would be beneficial to reduce a credit card balance you must pay the card down and obtain a letter from the creditor stating your new balance. You would then provide this letter to your mortgage broker or lender and they will submit it for Rapid Rescore.
Rapid Rescore does not work for common undocumented credit repair disputes, nor can you use peripheral documentation, such as attorney letters explaining your innocence. If you cannot document your issue per Rapid Rescore guidelines you may need to delay your mortgage application and take the time to pursue a normal course of credit repair.

Should I stay or should I go now?
August 17, 2008
RelationshipFilter: Do I move out to a new city with my new boyfriend where the old boyfriend lives? Long back story inside.
So, for two and a half years in college and a year after, I dated a guy. However, after a year of living together post-college, he got a long term job offer in Portland and I got a short term nursing gig in the middle of nowhere (the pay was good even if the area wasn't), and ex-bf decided he couldn't do long distance, so he broke things off. It wasn't exactly a clean cut, as I hooked up with him a couple of times afterwards in a barely veiled attempt to keep the relationship alive, but the distance effectively kept it from going back to any semblance of a relationship. In the meantime though, I managed to glorify the relationship and how great it had been (obviously there were more problems if he wasn't willing to wait 9 months for my nursing gig to be up).
Fast forward a year: even though I'm in the middle of nowhere, I'm socializing and have made a fair number of friends when I meet a great guy here! He's a good fit for me in a lot of ways, but I find myself hesitant to let myself fall for him, as I am still hurt from before. We get along really well and he has a lot of characteristics I've been looking for (kind, funny, chivalrous, etc). We've been dating for about half a year now and yesterday he let me know that his job just offered him a significant promotion under the condition that he move to... you guessed it... Portland!
My current boyfriend says he will stay around here if I want, but I know he hates his job here and would really like to take the new job (plus, it's closer to his family and friends). So, no questions about it, I want him happy and will let him know he should take the job if he wants. The problem is, that although I really like my boyfriend and enjoy his company, I'm not head-over-heels in love yet and I'm also worried that although Portland is a big city, I'll eventually end up reconnecting with my ex... and, well, 'reconnecting.' (I wouldn't cheat, but I can see myself getting close to him and ending my current relationship to once again try to re-live the glorified relationship)
I just re-signed my nursing contract until April, so I'm here until at least then. At which point, I could a. move out to Portland. b. re-sign my contract to stick around here and keep racking up some savings. or c. move back to my home state (in the southwest... I'd only be able to visit Portland via plane) and sort my life out.
So, I guess I have a few questions:
1. Do I risk it and move out with the boyfriend in April? Or do I take one of my other options? I know April is a ways a way, but I have to decide relatively soon so I can get all of the logistics figured out.
2. Is it normal to not be completely in head-over-heels in love after 5 months? Any real life stories or anecdotes are appreciated. Besides a couple casual boyfriends in high school, I've only had the one serious relationship and I was head-over-heels for him in a couple months (I was a young and naive 20 year old... I'm 24 now), so I have nothing else to compare this to. Am I cruel for continuing to date someone even if I'm not sure I want to end up with them forever? And how can I make sure I'm over my ex?
Or am I just overthinking all this way too much?
Thanks in advance to everyone for your advice... no throwaway email account here, but if I need to add more info I'll contact jessamyn (my apologies in advance as well).

Here's what would be wrong - it would be really shitty and evil to discourage your boyfriend from moving to Portland and his dream job close to family and friends. Because you know you don't want to be with him long term - and that's fine - but you need to either go with him, or let him go. DO NOT let him stay for you - that'd be horribly unfair.
As for whether to move to Portland - do you want to live there? If yes - go ahead! If not - then don't. This boyfriend could represent an opportunity and an impetus to move - but I'm not sure why you seem to think you have to live in the same town as he because you've been in a just-ok dating relationship for a few months.

It's not that unusual to glorify your first serious relationship. . . but it's also not too difficult to have the self control and not hook up with a man that already broke up with you once.
You seem to be self-aware enough that this might be a problem, and also that there were problems in the earlier relationship. You're probably good enough to figure out that hooking back up with him is a bad idea.
And hey-you never know, your ex might have moved on too

If my best friend came to me and said that she was considering moving to a new city with her sort of lukewarm current boyfriend, and I knew full well she wasn't over the ex who lived there, I'd tell her she was nuts for considering it. Moving to a new city is one thing, and you don't have to have a fantastic reason. If you want to move to Portland (or somewhere else), do it. But don't live with him. Moving in together is a big deal. You've already visualized yourself falling for your ex again and breaking up with this guy. It would be really rotten to give him the impression he's in a serious relationship with you if he's not.

It's not until April. Go with the flow.
If you don't want to reconnect with your ex, don't. You're in control of that, don't pretend to yourself that if you live in the same city you'll HAVE to contact him.

I think you need to try to figure out why Portland (Oregon?) appeals to you. Have you been there? Are you familiar enough with the city that you find it enticing on its own merits? It's a great city, one I could see myself living in again some day, so I'm not discounting the possibility that Portland appeals to you because it's a fun, vibrant city.
But is part of the allure of Portland your ex-boyfriend? If your current boyfriend were moving to say, Boise, would you be tempted to follow him there? It doesn't sound like you would, so if you move, it probably won't be
your current relationship. If you are doing it because it sounds like a fun opportunity to try out a new city, then I would go for it. But I also know, from personal experience, that it's possible to convince yourself that you are moving somewhere for the place, when really you're moving there because you associate that place with a person that you're drawn to.
Try to be honest with yourself and figure out why Portland sounds like a great place to be. If you found out the ex had already left Portland, would you still be contemplating the move?

You are free to stay where you are, move to Portland, or go elsewhere, regardless of your romantic entanglements. Presumably you can get out of your current job contract if you give notice. It may be as little as writing to HR and saying you're gone in 2 weeks, or it may be a major hassle and cost you some money or benefits or whatever. My point is, you aren't actually stuck where you are, and shouldn't rely on an assumption that you are stuck, to make the decision for you.
So, if you wanted to move to Portland, it's probably best all around if you get a job there lined up first. How feasible is that? Without prejudicing your decision either way, you can do some investigation: speak to nursing locum/temp placement agencies in Portland, polish and run off copies of your resume, email hospitals etc, put in another AskMe about the job market for nurses in Portland.
Remember, you're not forced to be a nurse, either, merely qualified to be one. Anything else you can demonstrate qualification for, and might enjoy--at least not hate--is a feasible type of employment for you. So even if the nursing job market is tight, you may be able to office-temp or wait tables or something until a nursing position comes through.
Bearing this in mind: would you,
independently of these men
, be interested in being in Portland? Do you have friends or relatives or contacts of any kind there? Assume for the moment that you do move to Portland, and Previous Guy has moved on and is now in a committed relationship of his own; and Current Guy for whatever reason decides to break up with you. What would you do? If your first thought is, "get out of Portland", that's a pretty big indicator that living in Portland would be something you'd only want to do
for a romantic partner's sake
Which in turn implies that your hesitation is well-founded, and your question--which only you can answer--amounts to: "1. Do I care for Current Guy enough to move with him to Portland?" and/or "2. Do I care for Previous Guy enough to move to Portland to
take the chance
of a relationship with him?"
If your answer to #1 is "yes", but #2 is "no", then that implies more commitment than you've outright stated, to Current Guy, and you probably should go to Portland, and you probably are making more of the fantasy of Previous Guy than really exists. In that case I think the most ethical course would be to defuse the fantasy of Previous Guy. Assuming neither you nor Current Guy have a wide circle of friends in Portland,
both of you
should meet up with him.
If your answer to #1 is "no", regardless of your answer to #2, this implies that things really aren't all that good with Current Guy, and maybe you should, independent of any feelings for Previous Guy, break up with Current Guy. Maybe you're with Current Guy because you want to have a boyfriend. Maybe the same applied to Previous Guy. Remember, Previous Guy specifically
willing to move for you.
But if #1 is "no", and #2 is "yes" ... you're in for drama, I'm sorry. If you broke up with Current Guy and moved to Portland to be with Previous Guy, Current Guy would likely take it badly, whether or not he's right to do so. That it really has nothing to do with him is no comfort whatsoever. If you moved with Current Guy in order to scope things out with Previous Guy ... Current Guy would take that badly and rightly so. About the only sensible plan in this case is, take your torch back home and get over Previous Guy. There's no such thing as the One True Love; if he's one in a million, that means there's 3.8 of him just in Los Angeles.

both of you should meet up with him.
(To clarify: make sure Current Guy knows Previous Guy is an ex you still harbor some feelings for; and make sure your own intent here is to put Previous Guy firmly in the friend zone, or--if he turns out to be a jerk--to let yourself realize that, and let him go. If you really can't do that, just never seek him out at all.)

That previous guy thing may take a loooong time to fade. And whenever you're single, or in a 'meh' moment of a current relationship your thoughts will turn to him and the 'glory' that was. You just learn to ignore it. Best thing is to deal with what you have now, ie. boyfriend on the move and the end of your contract.
Could you try something else entirely? To me, the most emphatic part of your post was:
c. move back to my home state (in the southwest... I'd only be able to visit Portland via plane) and sort my life out
Sounds like a plan. Not that things seem all that messy, but maybe you need a change of scenery. Not necessarily moving home but at least going somewhere independantly of either romantic entanglement. How about you go travelling for a month. Could be across the states, could be Europe, could be anywhere. Just get some general headspace and perspective? If not you could always stay where you are and after current boyfriend moves, see whether or not you miss him enough to head P-wards.

Addressing only this question:
Is it normal to not be completely in head-over-heels in love after 5 months?
If you're not completely over the previous person? Yes it is. You can't let yourself go into something if you're still hanging on to something else.
This new guy may not be someone you'd fall head-over-heels in love with anyway, but the fact that you're still not over your ex is definitely affecting that.

Wait until you need to make the decision to make it. You're overthinking this right now.

The best way to look at this is probably to just look at if you want to live in Portland or not. If you do, great! Move when the chance comes up. If you don't, don't move there---you would feel way too much pressure to make it work with at least one of these guys so that you could justify to yourself having relocated.

The Top Foods To Avoid in a Heat Wave
Food Republic
It's been a stifling summer across most of the country, and it's all one can do to try and stay cool. But according to Food Republic, some foods may only make the problem worse. Check out their list of foods to avoid in hot weather, and weigh in with your own experiences:
1. Spicy foods: Capsaicin (found in spicy foods) consumption is correlated with a short-lived increase in body temperature, so when it's really hot out, every effort should be made to keep that body temp low. They say to ditch the excess hot sauce, in other words. (Although, like we noted earlier this week, a hot drink can actually cool you down.)
2. Diuretic Foods: You want to stay hydrated, so they recommend avoiding foods that flush water out of the body. This includes coffee, tea, soda, and foods like mangoes, fennel, artichokes and asparagus, which have a similar effect on the body.
3. High Protein Foods: The digestion of protein requires your body to do a lot of work, which creates heat in a process known as thermogenesis. Stick to lighter carbohydrates, like fruit, which require less energy and produce a lot less heat by thermogenesis. According to Food Republic, "it can take anywhere from 50 to 100% more energy to break down protein compared to carbohydrates. The moral of the story: Take it easy on the meat."

What do you think about this? Do you buy into these recommendations? Or are you sticking with spicy foods and your meat come hell or high water?

I thought there was something about eating spicy food that was supposed to ultimately have a cooling effect, which had something to do with why some cultures in hotter parts of the world have spicy cuisines. Damned if I can remember the details, tho!
You're potentially referring to this, which funnily enough posted like 2 days ago on this very blog
So all those people who live in sweltering India, drinking hot tea and spicy food, have it all wrong? I don't think so.
you're right, sweetpea. Eating spicy foods (or drinking hot beverages) can help you shed excees heat through increased sweating. Of course, this doesnr't work if it is very humid as that cuts down on the evaporation from sweat that is responsible for the cooling effect
naturally this item has come up around the 'nets lately due to the unmentionable heat.
The above article is talking about warm foods, not spicy foods.
Oops, what I mean is - the link by Blpeders is referring to temperature warm food, not spicy food.
I've read countless things about eating spicy foods in hot weather, which likely why spicy foods are so common in hot climates. This has been mentioned in many posts right here on The Kitchn, in fact.
It's hot and humid and most parts of India. I think they have it right with eating spicy foods and drinking hot beverages. I made Keralan fish curry for dinner last night and it was wonderful. After eating it all, my body started to feel much cooler.
Yeah, somebody had better tell people Mexico, India, Thailand, and other of millions (billions?) of people in warm countries that eating their spicy food is bad for them. Just plain silly!
Ditto Ecandle96! Bring on the Sriracha is all I can say to this poster.
This post should be titled "Tips for Weanies". It's summer. It's hot. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and try to avoid too much sun, but it's SUMMER. You are going to be hot and sweaty and uncomfortable. It's a season, not a medical condition.
Long story short, what's the point of having summer if you aren't enjoying grilled meat, iced coffee and cold beer?
Same with this issue with tea and coffee - they still hydrate you! There's no net loss of water from your body when you drink these things.
Heavy spice in dishes helped preserve them and covered up the taste of rotting food prior to refrigeration, which is why they're especially common in hot countries. It wasn't a trick for keeping cool.
@Mabith. That's actually a myth. Nobody ate rotten meat. They preserved fresh meat with spices and salts so that they could eat it later or just didn't eat meat at all.
I actually just heard a story on NPR about how eating spicy food does help cool you down (or at least makes the air around you feel cooler). According to the story, it's actually same explanation as why drinking hot tea also helps cool you down. It has something to do with the one receptor in your mouth that reacts to both types of heat (spice and temperature), which triggers your brain to make your body sweat, which cools you down.
I always figured that the correlation between spicy foods and hot climates was just because the hot climates are where the spicy things are grown. If hot peppers grow year-round, of course they'd factor into a culture's cuisine year-round.
But those cultures have a balance of heating and cooling foods. In the same places where you'd eat a spicy dish like curry, hummus, or carnitas, you'll also find cold mint tea, agua frescas, cucumber dishes, citrus fruits, yogurt, etc.
Didn't I just recently read a post on this very blog saying hot tea cools you off by making you sweat? Or have I lost my mind?
'What do you think about this?' asks the article.
I think it's one of the silliest articles I've ever seen.
Point 2: Diuretic Foods, is just bizarre. There are loads of fruits and vegetables that are diuretics, that doesn't meant you should avoid eating them. Unless you eat ten mangoes in one sitting and don't drink water all day, they're not going to dehydrate you.
Methinks someone doesn't understand the science behind diuretics, at all.
The mechanism that increases net cooling when you drink hot tea is the same one that is triggered by spicy foods.
Please vet things a little more! Drinking coffee, tea and soda doesn't dehydrate you. Spicy foods can cool you off in exactly the same way as hot drinks. I don't think that generations of people in the south would have cooled off by drinking iced tea if it was really dehydrating...

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
No, it is obvious that Arena is broken. Thanks to these comments from Pardo, it pretty much puts the final nail in the coffin regarding the viability of Arena gameplay in a setting that was never designed for it. That doesn't mean it is going away, just that it is deeply flawed. And it is incredibly flawed in so many ways. I don't doubt that the class design portion of the Blizzard team wishes that they had ever heard of Arenas.
Blizzard will learn from this and I bet their next MMO takes class balance into account from the very beginning.
You need to understand that just because someone criticizes something you like or disagrees with you that it is not a personal insult. Taking that the way you did and trying to insult the author just makes you sound like a whiny little bitch.

Dang it, the math geeks were right. It IS easier to be struck by lightning than win the lottery. Our case in point: Bill Isles of Wichita, KS.
Last Thursday, at the height of Mega Millions fever, he went out and bought three tickets. Later that night, out in his yard with his ham radio doing his storm-spotter gig, he got struck by lightning.
The following night the historic (about $640 million) Mega Millions jackpot was drawn.
Bill lost.
But he did get struck by lightning. And that gets you 15 minutes of fame but you still have to keep your day job.
According to the story in the Kansas City News, the odds of being hit by lightning are one in 835,000. The odds of winning the Mega Millions lottery jackpot are one in 175 million.
I wonder what the odds are of winning the lottery AND getting struck by lightning?

What's in a name?
Controversy for Washington's NFL team. One of the country's leading sports journalists, Peter King of Sports Illustrated says he won't use the Redskins name anymore. He says he's "increasingly bothered by using the word."
He joins a growing list of sports writers. "My personal viewpoint is I don't want to use it anymore," said Washington Post writer Mike Wise. "It is something that I don't want to do, and I don't want to preach about it."
Some Native American groups are turning up the heat. "What flashes to my mind is our ancestors being skinned," said Jackie Pata of the National Congress of American Indians. "It is painful... it is hurtful and it is time that it changed."
One tribe running a radio ad calling on the NFL Commissioner to act.
"The term redskins is obviously wrong, insensitive and unacceptable."
But the owner of the franchise is adamant. Dan Snyder who became a billionaire in adversting and media is quoted as saying "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. Never - you can use caps."

Jon Gosselin: 'I Despise Kate'
He didn't mince words in his GMA interview.
Jon Gosselin appeared on "Good Morning America" this morning to tell HIS side of the story. In a no-holds-barred interview, he comes clean about his feelings for his soon-to-be ex. He says the animosity between them has grown so strong, they now shoot "Jon and Kate Plus 8" separately.
"We film it separately," Gosselin said. "She has her film crew. And I have my film crew. But I can't sit on the sofa with that woman. I can't sit [with] someone right now that I despise."
"I despise [her] because she's not speaking from the heart," he said. "Please -- the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV. Our relationship will never be fixed. I think down the road we might be friends, but at this point in time, I don't think so."
Does Jon still love Kate? "I will always love Kate as the mother of my kids. But to tell you right now, at this point of what's going on, I do not love Kate."
In response, Kate Gosselin gave the following statement to ABC News:
"While I certainly have a very different perception of how our marriage dissolved, for the sake of my children I maintain that I'm not going to go into details of aspects I believe should remain private," Kate Gosselin said in the statement.
Jon Gosselin also maintains he didn't cheat on Kate.
"I didn't leave Kate for Hailey. People think I left Kate for Hailey ... because of the time frame and what they printed in the tabloids," Gosselin said. "You can't control who you love. I strongly believe that. You cannot control that. It's two people joined together."
Gosselin says Glassman is the "polar opposite of Kate."
"I get encouragement from her, I get respect from her. Two things that a man needs," he says. "This is someone, I mean, like soul mate -- like people joke about that. But I'm not joking about that."
He says he's in love.
"I have so much to lose ... in this situation," Gosselin told GMA's Chris Cuomo. "I could lose custody, I could lose my kids, I could lose -- but I feel like with [Glassman] that I'm not going to lose them. It's just going to get better."
Does Jon think Kate is or was involved with her bodyguard?
"I speculate, but I don't know -- that's a general feel. You know, almost like when they were traveling together, I felt jealous," he said. "Here, I'm Mr. Mom. And then there's some other guy traveling with my wife. Whether it's protection or not, it's all in -- it's in the back of my mind."
Jon also says he fully realizes what the public majority thinks of him right now.
"It's just like the change from America's favorite dad to dirtbag. Tomorrow I could be maybe ... America's favorite dad again. It could be after this interview. I don't know," he said. "Whatever they want to write, let them write it. They're going to write it anyway. I've learned that lesson."
Watch more on "Primetime: Family Secrets," at 10 PM ET.
Does this interview make you feel any more sympathy for Jon Gosselin?
15 Things about Jon and Kate
The couple met at a picnic in 1997; they were married two years later.
Kate is two years older than Jon.
Kate was born in Hershey, Pennsylvania, at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, the same hospital where she would give birth to her own children.
Jon is of French, Irish, and Korean descent. His mother was born and raised in Hawaii.
Kate sought fertility treatment after she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
In the beginning, Kate was pregnant with septuplets, not sextuplets, but one of the fetuses was lost prior to delivery.
The sextuplets were born premature at 30 weeks.
The Gosselin family's first television appearance was on the Discovery Health Channel in 2005, on a show called "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins."
A year later, they were featured in another special, entitled "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later." Eventually the title was changed to "Jon and Kate Plus 8," and the show moved to the TLC channel in 2008.
In order for the crew to film "Jon and Kate Plus 8," they had to install permanent studio light fixtures in the Gosselin's home.
Kate got her tummy tuck in 2006.
It's estimated that the family receives $25,000 to $50,000 per episode.
Jon and Kate filed for divorce on June 20, 2009.
Jon has reportedly dated two women since the breakdown of his marriage: 23-year-old teacher Deanna Hummel, and most recently, Hailey Glassman, the daughter of the plastic surgeon who performed Kate's tummy tuck.
Jon and Kate's child custody agreement allegedly says their eight children will remain in their Pennsylvania home, and the two of them will move back and forth, rather than uproot the children.
We are not talking about "abuse" of a minor or of someone physically inferior here. We are talking about a GROWN man who chose to have 8 children with a woman he supposedly loved. He also chose to let her run a household with 8 kids in it; and boy did she! He could have asserted himself a long, long time ago and given this a real try at success. But no, he chose to tolerate it until it became; yes, intolerable. Now he is choosing to stand up for himself in the most humiliating and public way of all. This is the saddest part of it. I would expect if the tables were reversed and Kate, or any other woman for that matter, was the one being "abused" that she assert herself or NOT whine about it either. I would feel no different if she were the one allowing herself to be belittled. We are not talking physical abuse here, that is a whole other ball of wax!
Emotional and mental abuse can be as hard to get away from as physical abuse, and you do not have to be physically inferior to be a victim. So he let her run things, there is always one spouse in a relationship that assumes more control in the daily running of things then the other but that does not give that person the right to belittle and demean the other.(abuse them) As in most cases of abuse when the abuser is confronted with losing their power over the other they use other means of keeping that person under their thumb such as the kids or marriage. So he wasn't strong enough in the beginning, but now that he is we should put him down for it??? I think the double standard that people are showing about this is really wrong.
Jon I don't know how he stuck around so long. Kate is a real _itch.I commend you for staying as long as you did for your kids.Kate is just milking it for all that she can.
Even thought I don't think Jon should have stated how he really felt about the mother of his children on National Television, I am still on his side about a lot of things. I do feel that Kate pushed him into this because of the way she's always belittled him (we all know how she treated him while the camera's were rolling- could you imagine how she was when they were off?!?) I know he loves his kids and will be there for them, but he is just going through a phase right now- being with someone who treats and talks to him like a human and not a pet as Kate apparently has throughout their relationship, and still to this day I'm sure. I think everyone should leave Jon alone and start focusing on the MONEY HUNGRY, SELF ABSORBED KATE for once!
I would like to say for the woman whom putting Kate down because she nagged her husband. I seen couples that are not in the media and they do much worse fighting so called regular non in the public eye people. So she nagged so what every co-worker and friend and family i've known fought and have done worse and they stayed together. The difference is simply this man realized he didn't want that life and it's not Kate's fault because he couldn't stick it out. About the money hungry comment do you know how much one ,two, or three children to support costs well if you did the math you wouldn't make a cruel comment saying Kate took the opportunity she did oh yeah Jon agreed to it too by the way. If the gossip people and hatred over people we don't really know would happen then there situation might have been a more happier one. To all who listen to gossip and believe it and assumes they known strangers thru that media choice then shame on you. We live in a would that people enjoy knocking people down and a people who believe in gossip what a shame. Sick world put the gossip magazines down and fix your life first before making or passing judgement on others esp. ones thru a t.v. screen or media of any type. Live your life and stop being cruel just to make yourself feel validated because honestly we know our friends, family, maybe co-worker but we don't know those in a media based situation. Ride a bike, climb a mountain, or hug anyone family etc. Do something other than hating someone you dont really know.
These two need to get a real job, who really cares about them. Its just sad that they have 8 children that I'm sure will suffer from all of this drama.
Did you notice he is now talking like a teenager or a young twenty year old? It's like… like… like… Oh boy someone wants to be a twenty something year old again without responsibilities. Too late Jon, Grow up Jon!
To ALL the masoginistic females in this forum, did none of you see the show? Kate and her emasculating Jon? Constantly in front of a camera crew. She made one of her tiny children sleep on the laundry room floor when he had the flu. Who does this? This is the same women most of you are defending. She is a full blown harpie! Contact me directly and I will still defend this guy. He did not deserve her lazy me me me attitude. No one does. Maybe those of you in here who hate him,treated your man the same way and they left too.Take a lesson from being nasty.
I stopped watching after seeing Kate emasculate her "partner" all of you who say Jon should not have said anything negative about his "partner". What about what she has done on that show every single week treating that man like one of her litter. She complained how much she did not like doing laundry,then it turned out,she did not do laundry,she only FOLDS the laundry. SHE IS A LAZY COMPLINING HARPIE!!!!!!!
I read where someone wanted to tell Jon to shut his trap. There are two side to a relationship and I haven't heard anyone tell Kate she need to shut her trap as well. Because on some of her shows she didn't seem to be so nice.

From reality show masters Michael Davies ("Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," "Watch What Happens Live") and Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "The Voice") comes a new reality series, THE JOB, where every week talented candidates are chosen from across the country for a chance to win their dream job at one of America's most prestigious companies. Host Lisa Ling guides participants through several rounds of the most intense interviews of their lives, including challenges ranging from an on-the-spot quiz to assess their knowledge of the company to deadline-driven tasks while spending a day on the job. But the candidates aren't the only ones in the hot seat. Adding to the pressure, a rival company is also present and waiting for an opportunity to swoop in and steal any of the contenders by making a competing offer. The participant must then decide immediately whether they will take the rival's offer or stay in the competition in the hope that they are the last one standing for this once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity.

Glad to see others doing this, too! That's actually what my guild does. Whenever someone mentions an interest in raiding in their application (regardless of the fact that our recruitment post says one of our raid teams needs XYZ roles), we tell them upfront that raid spots are NOT guaranteed. If it just so happens that the applicant joins the guild and gets to raid later on, that's great! The applicant is joining the guild, first and foremost; other activities such as raiding are all just perks. We want people who are going to add to and enhance the guild atmosphere, become part of our community... not just show up and take things and then throw a fit if they don't get their way. That's not how a team works. We learned the hard way on several occasions that trying to fill in raid spots with anyone and everyone will quickly ruin more than just the raid.
We recently had to deny an applicant because all the application mentioned was, in a nutshell, "I want loot and progression. I haven't gotten either because other groups/pugs/guild(s) weren't good enough." The first question we asked ourselves as officers was, "So, if this guy doesn't 1) get to raid consistently; 2) get to progress consistently; and 3) get gear consistently, he's just going to leave or, worse yet, get his gear and run if the other two criteria aren't up to his expectations?" The vote was unanimous.

Jeremy Pargo's career-high 28 points lift Cavs over Sixers
Cleveland, OH, United States (4E Sports) – Jeremy Pargo exploded for a career-high 28 points and Anderson Varejao racked up 10 points and 19 boards as the Cleveland Cavaliers (3-8) snapped a six-game losing streak with a 92-83 win over the Philadelphia 76ers (7-5) Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena.
With starting point guard Kyrie Irving sitting for quite some time due to a broken hand, the Cavs leaned on second-year guard Jeremy Pargo to run their offense.
Pargo took the opportunity by the horn and surprised everybody, including his teammates and coach, as he enjoyed a career-night to help the Cavs beat the up-and-coming Sixers on their home floor.
The Cavs' offense ran like a well-oiled machine for the first time since the opening week, racing to a 28-15 first quarter lead and foiling every rally thrown at them by the Sixers down the stretch.
Varejao once again was a monster on the boards, while Dion Waiters delivered 16 markers for the Cavs, who shot 40 percent from the field and hounded the Sixers to just 36 percent shooting.
Jrue Holiday and Jason Richardson scored 16 points apiece and Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young recorded double-doubles in a losing effort.

Top Marks for Teachers' Day at InfoLab21
InfoLab21 hosted another successful Teachers' Day which has been praised for creating valuable connections with local schools.
Teachers from around the region came to InfoLab21 as part of a programme to provide professional development and create links between schools in the North-West and the University.
The Department of Communication Systems, the Knowledge Business Centre at InfoLab21, Lancaster University Schools Liaison Office and Lancashire Education Business Partnership (LEBP) organised a teachers' day event on Wednesday 31st of October. The event focussed on the use of computer animation to develop a computer game.
Christine James of LEBP who co-ordinated the event said;
" This is the second event InfoLab21 has hosted once again has proved to be a great success, I look forward to planning similar events in the future, as teachers really value the links they are able to establish."
In total, sixteen teachers from schools and further education colleges from around the North-West attended the event. Dr. Phil Benachour from the Department of Communication Systems at Lancaster said:
"This is a great opportunity for local Secondary School and Community College teachers to find out about what kind of software tools are being used for teaching at the University, it also allows institutions like Lancaster to promote and engage with local schools and pass on its expertise in specialised areas of media and communication technology".
Colin McLaughlin from the Knowledge Business Centre at InfoLab21 added:
"It is important for us as a University to engage with the wider community. One of the ways to do this is to work with the teaching staff from Schools and Colleges in the North West in order to share the knowledge and expertise that the academic staff here possess."

Here are a couple of pictures of the Pontiac G8 V6 and V8 next to each other, apparently very similar, only the back taillight, tailpipe and door handle are different. So far we have driven the V8 for a few minutes on the highway. The right is very comfy and the cheer power of the V8 is really fun. But the gearbox is a bit sluggish, slow to change gears and spoil the fun but we'll tell you more after a few more miles...
I just got picked up at the San Diego airport by the new Pontiac G8 , on my way to the hotel, waiting for tomorrow morning test drive. The first impression from the passenger seat are very positive. Driving around San Diego downtown was very comfortable, with the right amount of feedback from the road an the engine. Inside it feels like a proper sport sedan as well. So far, the G8 feels very docile while driven in the city, come back tomorrow for a much more detailed article.
TopSpeed.com will be driving the 2008 Pontiac G8 at the end of the week, but for the impatient Pontiac lovers, Popular Mechanic already had their chance to try to new 361 horsepowered Pontiac G8. The first driving impression are very positive, PM love the new G8 driving sensation thanks to sharp steering and the four-link rear suspensions. Of course the bargain takes its tool on some average interior styling but that should not turn off Pontiac buyers looking for a 360 horsepower bargain.
After reading the review we can't wait to drive the car in the twisty California roads... Stay tuned

We just received a call from Pontiac to invite us for a test drive of their new Pontiac G8 , "The most powerful car available in the U.S. for under $30,000" as they claim. TopSpeed.com will have chance to verify those allegation from the testing location and bring you the first driving impression, live! on February 28/29. Save the date.

General Motors will unveil at the New York Auto Show the production Pontiac G8 ST (Sport Truck), based on Holden's VE Ute. Also the GMC 'Crewman' Ute concept will be unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show early next month.
We met with Mark LaNeve on monday night at a diner organized by GM to promote their new concepts at the Detroit Auto Show. Mark confirmed the upcoming reveal of a small Hummer truck, a small Cadillac and a G8 based pick up. The first two vehicle will certainly be very close to the Hummer HX and CTS coupe jsut unveiled in Detroit earlier this week. It is just strange that the HX concept it so close to the hummer H3T concept from 2004, moreover we have the feeling that the new Hummer will not be a pickup only version. About the Cadillac, the 2 door concept pave the way for smaller Cadillac vehicle. Let's just hope the smaller Cadi will not be a Malibu re-badged! God knows how much GM think the Malibu is the next best thing after their Volt concept of course.
about the G8 pickup, we already know what it will look like, as Holden, who build the G8, already have car pickup in their lineup. LaNeve just said that he is looking for a good name, anything aside of 'ElCamino'!
Wanna help Mark? Submit your baby names for the baby Cadillac and the G8 pickup. My personal take: Cadillac CTA and Pontiac Trucko!
Keep in mind that LaNeve is 'only' head of Marketing, which means that even if he identified demand for those cars, other consideration such as engineering or budget might not allow those project to go through. Time will tell.

GM Holden added another vehicle to its growing export program today with the announcement that full production of the Pontiac G8 for the US market was now underway. The introduction of the Pontiac G8 represents a significant milestone for GM Holden as it brings the mix of vehicles produced at the Elizabeth manufacturing plant in Adelaide to a 50-50 split of export and domestic production.
With lyrics that don't pull punches and themes that are brutally honest, rapper 50 Cent (a.k.a. Curtis Jackson) has risen to the top of the hip hop scene. He's also a passionate car enthusiast with a penchant for Pontiacs – his video for the song "Amusement Park" featured the G6 GXP and G8 concept cars.
Designed to evoke the emotions of classic sports cars, the Pontiac Solstice SD-290 race concept captures the purposeful design of vintage racecars. The design is dramatic, featuring a passenger cockpit tonneau cover and a driver windscreen, creating a pure racecar that looks ready to take the checkered flag even while sitting on the starting grid.
Designed for enthusiasts who are passionate about performance, the all-new Pontiac G8 performance sedan – arriving at dealerships in early 2008 – is the first North American application of GM's new global rear-wheel-drive architecture. The V8-powered G8 GT SEMA Edition was displayed at the '07 SEMA Show with a host of tuner-inspired custom touches, including a hot orange paint scheme with matching leather seat inserts, door panels and instrument panel pad.

Guerilla Opera was founded in 2007 by Co-Artistic Directors Mike Williams and Rudolf Rojahn in response to the staged performance of a song cycle called "Lust" based on the novel by Elfriede Jelinek, written by Rojahn, and directed by Board Member Sanford Sylvan. The performance had a profound impact on Rojahn and Williams as well as the surrounding audience members. From this experience they decided to found a larger chamber ensemble that combined key elements of that performance – exciting and progressive new music highlighting musical virtuosity, intimate venue, dramatic risk, and direct communication between performers without the use of a conductor.
In our brief existence we have garnered a national reputation for excellence in performance and bold programming. We have also received local and national attention from media sources including the Boston Globe, MSNBC, Fox News, National Public Radio, the Boston Herald, and numerous other publications.
In the 2010-2011 Season we focused new attention on extending our reach to communities outside of the Boston area by performing and holding workshops featuring Rojahn's Heart of a Dog at the University of Memphis, the OPERA America Convention, and at Hubbard Hall in 2012 in collaboration with Hubbard Hall Opera Theater.
In July 2012 we were awarded Best Opera Company by The Improper Bostonian in their "Best of Boston" Issue. Curtis K. Hughes also released a professional recording of his opera Say It Ain't So, Joe, which features the original Guerilla Opera cast and ensemble. Available on iTunes.
This season will feature the World Premiere of GALLO by composer Ken Ueno with stage direction by Sarah Meyers, and a new production of NO EXIT by Andy Vores. GALLO is Guerilla Opera's ninth commissioned opera since 2007 and will be the tenth original production. NO EXIT is the second work from Guerilla Opera's repertoire to be revived into a new production.
The 2014-2015 season will feature the world premiere of a new chamber opera by composer Per Bloland. This will be Guerilla Opera's tenth commissioned chamber opera since it's founding in 2007.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Another U.S. automaker will start using a new fuel-saving battery developed by Johnson Controls.
The suburban Milwaukee firm says the advanced battery will be sold in the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu starting this fall.
The system automatically shuts down a car's engine when idles at places like stop and go lights – and the engine reactivates once the brake pedal is released.
Johnson Controls says the new unit will increase the Malibu's fuel efficiency by about 5 percent.
Earlier this year, Ford started using the same batteries in its Fusion model.
Johnson vice president Craig Rigby says the technology has been growing in popularity in Europe for the last several years.

Is This Luxury Brand the Next Turnaround Candidate?
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Luxury retail is one of the most remarkable sub-sectors in the market today. Forecasters often predict that demand for high-priced goods will fall during times of economic hardship, but current data shows that wealthy consumers will purchase their premium goods during good and bad times.
While this logic may seem counterintuitive, hard evidence confirms its validity. At the moment, the success of luxury retail in London, combined with a national consumer crisis throughout the U.K., serves as a case-in-point. Outside of the British capital, the English consumer remains cautious with unemployment at multi-year highs and the growth of Internet retail harming the economy.
On a broader level, luxury retail is strong in Europe's largest cities despite the prolonged Eurozone recession. Here in the U.S., a similar story can be told. Sales of luxury goods are the strongest ever as wealthy buyers have benefited from rising home values and stock prices.
What's the best way to play the long-term trend in luxury retail, and are there any hidden opportunities?
Consider Vera Bradley (NASDAQ: VRA), a functional accessories designer for women that went public in October 2010. The luxury retailer has frustrated long-term investors with its inconsistent quarterly results, management changes, and unclear vision for its premium handbags. As competitors such as Coach unveil the latest trends, retail analysts have criticized Vera Bradley's marketing team on merchandising decisions and new product development.
On June 5, Vera Bradley provided disappointing Q1 2014 results and weak guidance for fiscal year 2014. The company lowered its 2014 earnings forecast to $1.74–$1.78 vs. the consensus of $1.81. Chief executive Mike Ray also announced that he will retire from the company once a search committee finds a replacement. All in all, Vera Bradley reported a "kitchen sink" quarter -- providing a full plate of negativity to investors in one sitting.
Shares are now down 60% from the post-IPO highs. Yet, despite investor pessimism, a number of long-term positives could propel the stock higher. Here are five reasons why I believe Vera Bradley is an attractive turnaround candidate for the next 12 months:
- The stock is valued at 11.5x new earnings guidance of $1.74-$1.78, a discounted multiple compared to the industry average of 23x earnings for luxury goods makers. The market is assigning it a low multiple due to perceived uncertainty, but management should meet the new guidance with strong revenues from company-owned stores and online sales.
- Sales revenue has more than doubled in the last five years from $239 million to $541 million. Net income has nearly tripled, growing from $24 million in fiscal 2009 to $69 million in fiscal 2013.
- Online sales growth was a strong point in first quarter results with a 22% increase. Direct segment revenues grew 24% as a whole. Company-owned stores continue to perform well, and the 19 full-price and four outlet stores opened in the last 12 months should boost future results.
- The potential for an upside surprise exists if the board of directors is able to bring in the right leader as CEO. The company's co-founder, chief financial officer, and chief executive have all retired or resigned in the last year, making Vera Bradley an attractive target for a self-starter exec with leadership capabilities.
- Wall Street is cautiously optimistic on Vera Bradley following Q1 results and the CEO resignation. Analysts at Sterne Agee upgraded the stock to "neutral" from "underperform" based on valuation. New York-based Jefferies is bullish, and reiterated a buy rating and a $34 price target.
Turnaround in a growing industry
Recent strong results from luxury goods competitors indicate that Vera Bradley's re-organization is based on company-specific issues and not secular ones. Readers should view this as a positive as it's easier to hire a new CEO to sell a high-demand product versus a fabulous CEO tasked with a fading brand.
Handbag maker Coach (NYSE: COH) provided a compelling outlook back on April 23, offering guidance of high sales growth, a strong China story, and a dividend raise of 13%. Coach's market capitalization of $16.5 billion is significantly larger than Vera Bradley's market cap of less than $1 billion.
The company is expanding beyond luxury handbags into footwear, watches, and clothes. In March, Coach introduced footwear in 170 of its 543 North American stores and 60 stores internationally. Readers should consider Coach in its own right; the stock offers a compelling growth opportunity at lower risk than Vera Bradley.
Internationally acclaimed Tiffany (NYSE: TIF) reported first quarter 2013 results on May 28, with a 9% increase in worldwide net sales. I highlighted the iconic jeweler and maker of the Blue Box going into earnings, stating that results could be boosted by falling gold and silver prices.
The Tiffany report was extremely positive; sales increased in every portion of the globe, including Americas, Asia-Pacific, Japan, Europe, and United Arab Emirates. Following the quarter, Tiffany announced the opening of a Moscow, Russia location in the first quarter of 2014. While shares trade at a premium 25x earnings, if a buy-and-hold forever stock exists, Tiffany fits the bill.
Foolish takeaway
Luxury goods makers have gathered momentum in 2013, and further gains are likely for long-term investors.
In the case of Vera Bradley, shares are on sale at a time when the brand's consumer appeal remains strong. I encourage readers to buy Vera Bradley on current weakness, as the stock has limited downside based on management's revised guidance. Many opportunities exist for the company to right its path going forward, while the number of recent hiccups makes further travails unlikely.
Additional gains are likely in shares of Coach and Tiffany as both companies grow their footprint internationally. Coach is expanding its market presence into footwear and watches; the men's business should grow 50% this year. Tiffany's sales grew 15% year-over-year in Asia-Pacific. I'm confident the Blue Box will gain more steam with the opening of 24 new stores worldwide.
