There's always been something fascinating about medieval battle. A field of combatants using only their God-given brawn, skill, and speed to defeat their opponents. The fight is personal, the competitors look each other in the eye, and in the end respect is earned while life is taken. It's a romantic look at death and war, but it certainly beats the cold, detached nature of a B2 bomber removing white blips from a computer screen.
With these thoughts in mind, the War of the Roses promotional material became instantly intriguing. Up to thirty-two players can join the House of York or Lancaster, and wage war against one another on historic battlefields. I jumped into the beta ready to be completely absorbed.
When basing your game around the medieval, it's a bit strange to see Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's sensibilities present throughout. The design team seems to have taken just about every aspect from the popular military shooter to heart. While persistent multiplayer leveling may be commonplace today, few titles actually decide to name their skill boosters "perks". You'll gain levels, unlock new classes like the Footknight, and once you hit level 5 you'll be able to customize loadouts and assign different weapons and perks. I wouldn't doubt that at some point, you'll prestige as well.
I'm not going to beat the current technical issues into the ground right now. This is a beta after all, but XP isn't reflected properly and there's plenty of weird graphical stuff all over the place. That being said, there are some strange things happening with combat that I'm not too keen on.
Without a proper tutorial in the beta, I had to fumble my way through the simple act of swinging a sword. You'll click, then move your mouse in one of four directions to begin your attack. A meter appears which I have yet to completely understand, but I believe it relates to power and/or accuracy of your swipes. Then SWOOSH! Did I mention that your camera is also tied to mouse movement? Yeah. You're moving the camera while picking an attack. It's pretty annoying and makes it tough to hit another dude. When your sword caroms off nearby walls and obstacles, this can be kind of infuriating. There were plenty of people that were good at it though, so I could just be missing something (or just suck).
Even with this frustration, I do find the entire experience oddly rewarding. It's not as personal as I had hoped, and I often feel like it's a stilted version of Die By The Sword, but charging into battle is exhilarating once you get the hang of what's going on around you. Instead of a quick blast of machine gun to end a one-on-one battle, I've found myself standing toe-to-toe with another footman as we exchange and block our attacks for what feels like an eternal duel.
Striking down your opponent doesn't necessarily result in their death. You can choose to move on or execute them in a fairly brutal fashion. The one being executed gets to see their life end in a first person view. Executions reward XP where mercy does not. They'll also be able to be revived if you leave them be, so there's little reason to let them live unless the battle around you is too thick. I've bent over to stab someone's eyes with my dagger, only to be struck down by a halberd because I wasn't paying enough attention to my surroundings.
It's not completely sword and shield though. Other classes can use crossbows and longbows, both of which come with negatives, but placed in the hands of a skilled shot can be extremely effective and if you listen to plenty of the people in chat, "cheap as fuck". Some soldiers can even mount horses and gallop forward to help capture conquest points or support the footmen. I was able to try out all of the preset classes before my XP was reset thanks to a beta patch.
War of the Roses has the makings for something really cool, and I can see it being a cult favorite like Mount and Blade became. I just hope they're able to fix the glitches before release and perhaps add some more control options to make swordplay less unwieldy. Or, maybe everything is fine and I just wasn't cut out for the battlefield.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - About a third of the savings identified by a private analyst looking for ways to cut down costs in state government are tied to changes to health insurance used by about 230,000 state workers, retirees and their families.
Susan West, head of the state Office of Group Benefits, told The Advocate that the $1 billion savings figure over the next five years should not alarm members. She said savings won't harm their access to health care.
"It's a delicate balancing act between plan design and rates," West said.
Alvarez and Marsal, the New York City-based firm that the Jindal administration hired for $5 million, allocated about $1 billion of the $2.7 billion in needed savings to the plan.
Policy changes could include preauthorization for hospital stays and imaging, as well as a priority on generic drugs. The savings are also keyed to pushing lower-cost health insurance options with higher deductibles and medical savings accounts.
"It's possible there will be some future premium increases," West said. "It's going to depend on our claims and actuarial projections."
Retired State Employees Association Executive Director Frank Jobert said he is considering asking the retiree board for guidance on whether to seek legal advice over some of the changes going into effect this year.
"They are changing the rules in the middle of the game," said Jobert. "I'm asking myself now if they can in fact change the rules and benefits in the middle of the plan year ... even the rate increase."
The health plans run from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 with enrollments in October of each year, Jobert said.
Jobert said the Office of Group Benefits would not need the rate increase or the benefit changes "if they had not depleted the reserve fund."
The health plan has been dipping more and more into its reserves to pay claims. Just over two years ago, the agency had reserves in excess of $500 million. Without changes, the program's reserve has been projected to hit $55 million by year's end.
Initial changes start July 1 with a 5 percent premium rate increase expected to generate $57.9 million in the new fiscal year.
Group Benefits is projected to save another $149.8 million by June 30, 2015, largely by changes in medical and pharmacy benefits going into effect Aug. 1.
On Jan. 1, Group Benefits will offer new health plan options, including partially funded medical savings accounts.
West said there will be two traditional insurance plans offered through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana.
The firm will also offer two "consumer-driven" health plans, which will have lower premiums in exchange for higher deductibles, West said. Fewer than 10 percent of enrollees use the current consumer-driver plan, which began in July 2010.

Originating in northern Italy, this mid-fourteenth-century manuscript contains 488 miniatures, which were possibly drawn at a Venetian workshop, with explanatory titles in Latin and French. It represents one part of a two volume compendium on medicinal plants, minerals and mining techniques, and various animals. Much of this material is drawn from the Circa Instans, a twelfth-century medical textbook by Matthaeus Platearius, a physician from Salerno. The other volume, a manuscript likely containing the compendium's text, is lost.
New York, Pierpont Morgan Library, MS M. 873. A full description is provided here by the Pierpont Morgan Library.

The commercial certificated pilot was conducting an off airport landing with passengers under Title 14, CFR Part 135, when the accident occurred. The pilot reported that he was on short final, 8-10 feet above the ground, when a "gust or something" lifted the right wing 50-60 degrees above horizontal, and the left wing struck the ground. He said he was able to level the wings, but the airplane touched down while drifting to the left. He reported that the airplane skidded forward about 50 feet and nosed over. The airplane sustained damage to the left wingtip, the left wing aft attach point, and the right landing gear attach point. The pilot reported the wind was from 300 degrees, at 25 knots, with gusts to 30 knots.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

From colleagues
- "Throughout the year, I listen to a lot of authors, writers, teachers, and publishers talk about the current state of writing and publishing, too often hearing something like: 'Sure, go ahead and write, but don't get your hopes up. …' Jane's message is very different. … After listening to her explain the current state of publishing, writing, and connecting, you could feel a lively energy buzz around the room, and uplifting of creativity, a juicy excitement about what we are all doing." Read more from Linda Joy Myers.
- "Don't ever underestimate Jane Friedman, former publisher of Writer's Digest. She is one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet on the publishing industry, and she just gets smarter and smarter with every passing day. She also understands intuitively and instinctively, when there are rules, when there are no rules, and when people should be conscientious and kind anyway. —Christina Katz
- "Fortunately for all of us, Friedman is kind, committed, genuinely engaged and fantastically connected. When you need to know who knows? "Ask Jane," is what you're told. And she answers. And she's right. And chances are, she was ahead of both your question and its answer three posts ago in her blog." [Read more.] —Porter Anderson
- "Jane opened her arms, literally and figuratively and changed my life." Read more from Jeanne Bowerman.
- "Jane has strong opinions and ideas about what publishing is doing and what it should be thinking about. You may or may not agree with all she says, but she is on top of everything that's happening today, and she does a brilliant job of sharing all her knowledge and experience with those of us struggling to figure it all out. Her posts are not to be missed." Read more from Becky Levine.
From people who've heard me speak
- "I heard you speak in Kalispell at the Flathead River Writers' Conference, where you provided such great information. It's helped me tremendously in publicizing my first book, which came out last September. Since then, I've been subscribing to your blog and to Writer Unboxed. My first mystery series will debut from Berkley next year, and I know the launch will be smarter and more successful because of the information and insights I've gained as a result." —Leslie Budewitz
- "Jane Friedman is all genius. No joke. And not only publishing-smart, but savvy-smart. And generous-smart. … She deliver[ed] what was easily the most organized, efficiently delivered and content-rich presentation that I attended all weekend. … Friedman illuminated the dark nooks and crannies of today's publishing world while empowering a capacity audience of aspiring writers to chart their own course. … I realized why she'd already had such a profound impact on me. Her blog and webinar are the closest I've come to having a writing mentor since college, half a lifetime ago!" —George Davis
- "[The social media panel], coupled with the transmedia one I'll talk about tomorrow, are easily the two most influential I've attended." That's one writer's take on two panels I moderated at AWP 2011 (featuring more than 380 panels!). Read more.
- "Every writer should hear you speak about the publishing industry. You were fabulous." —Hyla Molander
- "I wasn't disappointed on any anticipated outcomes AND I got a lot more on some areas that I kind of wrote off unknowingly. You were very impressive. Your ability to hear the question behind the question showed that you understood what we thought/wanted and you gave diplomatic and useful answers, the kind that provoked positive and progressive action." —Lisa Arnopp
From my students and my online readers
- [Regarding my online webinars] "I have heard you speak, and you are terrific. Your pronunciation is clear, and you are not too fast, but go at a nice pace. Believe me—some I have had to listen to three times to understand the most important points. Thank you." —Barbara Loos
- "[Your latest post] is golden. Your four points make absolute sense, are simple in the clear way you've presented them, and I know they're going to help immensely in my book marketing—actually they already have, as in the past ten minutes I've already begun work on implementing them. So thank you so much. This was probably the best advice I've read on making it in the book business all year." —Michael Stutz
- Regarding my online webinars: "I was not disappointed. Or bored. And no, you won't get the same stuff browsing the Internet. I won't give away any of her secrets because you can go to her blog, website, and Twitter where she generously shares her knowledge of writing and publishing. But you won't get a bag full of tools all packed up and ready to go like you will on her webinar. Jane's presentation was chock full of professional advice: the do's and don'ts of what to put on a website, how to develop 'social currency' and analyzing your traffic. I actually understand Google Analytics a bit better now."
—Rahma Krambo
- "It's worth getting a Twitter account just to follow [Jane]. You'll soon see why she has built a rabid tribe. She's smart, ahead of the rapidly evolving book industry curve, witty—and generous. One of the things I like most about social media is that it teaches the golden rule better than any priest or parent. Jane herself gives away many of her best ideas, and she offers her readers the present of her presence. She answers questions and encourages others online." —Shirley Hershey Showalter
- "Any time people talk about publishing, I want to know what Jane Friedman thinks. Great perspective and insights." —Will Entrekin
- "Few things have inspired me more this year than Jane Friedman's blog, There Are No Rules. I appreciate the outreach to the field that springs directly from her love of books and publishing and her fascination with the changes happening at warp speed to the business end of books. She is observant and no-nonsense and not without a sense of humor. Also, she likes cats." —Tina Hoggatt
- "I have a fantastic writing mentor in Jane Friedman, one of the top editors at the Writer's Digest empire. She's always posting a lot of great, free advice for writers all over the Web. I found this fantastic article on why netting and platforming is so important to do BEFORE you finish your first book." —Lynne Spreen
- "I love Jane Friedman. She gives great advice without being preachy or condescending." —Anjanette Morton
From authors
- "She knows all there is to know about the publishing industry, about marketing, and she cares about each writer she meets or discovers." Read more from Mary L. Tabor
- "If you read just one of Jane Friedman's joyful and knowledgeable posts on social media and new technology, you'll open yourself up to a world of glorious possibilities for promoting your work." —Patricia V. Davis, best-selling author, editor-in-chief of Harlots Sauce Radio
- "Jane eats, breathes, and focuses almost all her waking hours on the publishing industry. She attends conferences, talks to agents, meets with authors, teaches classes, reads prolifically. She's sitting in a place of 'knowing' since she leads a team of acquisitions editors. She and I have become friends, and I respect what she says so much." Read more from Debra Marrs.

When we last saw good-natured 'Modern Family' star Sofia Vergara on Ellen DeGeneres' show, she played along as she was the literal butt of a joke that spoofed her infamous wardrobe malfunction.
This time around, Vergara was tasked with making it all the way through a scripted Diet Pepsi commercial while Ellen did everything in her power to make her friend lose focus -- including breaking bottles over her head, screaming at her, inviting Josh Groban to sing loudly in her face, and spraying her with Silly String.
Katy Perry is considered one of the hottest women on the planet, so it may alarm a lot of our male readers to see how well she can pull off masculine drag. The 'Wide Awake' singer dressed like a man to celebrate Ellen Degeneres' 55th birthday on air, and it was possibly the least awkward she's ever looked while dancing.
I love Ellen! She is such a quirky lady, She compiled the best web videos from 2012 and played them on her show. Check them out!
After a performance at an elementary school, Justin takes to the stage to sit & answer questions from his young audience. You, know the really hard hitting stuff... "What do you do on the weekends?" Purple is Justin's favorite color. He
Paris Jackson was the guest on today's episode of 'Ellen.'
It's the first solo interview for Jackson, who has her first acting role in the upcoming movie 'Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys.' In a revealing interview, Paris opens up about what it was like being Michael Jackson's daughter, what he thought of her going into acting and how she didn't really understand how famous he actually was.
It was a typical day at the office for Ellen DeGeneres when Lady Gaga sat down for a chat on her namesake show. In a preview of Gaga's interview, which airs on Friday, Dec. 9, the 'Marry the Night' singer looks like an edgy Christmas angel, with bows on her head, silver glitter eyebrows, black mesh top and black leather skirt. She mixed materials once again, and spoke about acting and fueling herself with alcohol in order to sign her tax return.
Who is the nicer celebrity, Ellen DeGeneres or Jimmy Kimmel? The two stars battled it out last night on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' to decide once and for all.
Kelly Clarkson first CD in over two years when Stronger hits store shelves and online retailers on October 24th. Like with any other musician who wants to entice the public into buying their new album when it comes out, Kelly hit the talk show circuit which included a stop on The Ellen Degeneres Show earlier this week.

2001 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Kathy Cadden, RN;Elizabeth Norman, B.S. RRT, RCP; and Julie Booth, MS, CPHQ. ProvidenceHoly Cross Medical Center, Mission Hills, Ca.
Background: The ICU TraumaTeam had a concern with timeliness of interventions for acidosis and hypoxemia.After a review of the literature and data information from other trauma centers,it was determined that no guideline existed for the early recognition and treatmentof acidosis and hypoxemia. To establish baseline data, an initial chart review(cases from Apr 1998 - Apr 1999) was completed after establishing what requireddata elements were needed for the database. Initial chart review analysis revealedthat it took approximately 13.8 hours from arrival to the emergency room toidentification of acidosis or hypoxemia. The resolution rate for acidosis was65% and 58.3% for hypoxemia within initial 24 hrs of arrival.
Method: In order to identifyeither of these conditions earlier and therefore, be able to treat earlier,a 2 month pilot project was implemented. The pilot project called for an ABGbe obtained in the ED if the patient was to be admitted to ICU unless 1.) contraindicatedby MD, or 2.) the patient was going from the ED to Surgery. Respiratory Therapywas to draw ABG based on set criteria.
Results: 89% of the Traumapatients in the pilot project had acidosis/hypoxemia on 1st ABG drawn. The timefrom identification to resolution of acidosis was decreased by 29.4%. (p <.05) The time from identification to resolution of hypoxemia was decreased by35.6%. (p < .05) The resolution rate of Hypoxemia/Acidosis within initial24 hrs of arrival = 93.75%. A significant implication of this improvement resultedin an actual charge savings of $1850 which is the ICU Trauma bed rate minusABG charge.
Conclusion: These resultswere presented to Medical Staff and a procedure was approved for RespiratoryTherapy to routinely perform an ABG on all Trauma patients in the emergencyroom who would be admitted directly to the ICU.

- Terrific Indian FoodJojoVIPDined on 11/1/2014Rang's is always consistent. Food is hot, delicious, well-prepared and reasonable. The service is fine, and the decor is very pleasant. I love to come here regularly because the food never disappoints. It is my GO TO when I crave Indian food!Special Features:
- steveVIPDined on 10/24/2014good food but didnt get first drink until main course. always takes to long to order and get drinks. The service needs to improve greatly . they are busy and it seems take orders get priority.
- Delicious meal in Stoneham!FoodForThoughtDined on 10/22/2014Enjoyed a traditional Indian dinner with my daughter. We sampled the combo appetizer platter and enjoyed the samosas, pakoras, and cheese very much. The chicken tikka masala had a lovely color and tasted great as well as the chicken korma. We ordered it as a medium hot dish and it was not too spicy but flavorful. The garlic naan was quite tasty too. I wish there had been room for dessert as they had a nice variety to try, but we were too full from dinner! We will go back as the prices were reasonable, the restaurant appealing in its decor, and the staff courteous and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent!PamelaDined on 5/22/2014We often go to Rang before attending shows at the Stoneham Theatre and I sometimes get take out! Love the food, the staff, location:) Wish they would expand into out her cities and towns so everyone could enjoy!Special Features:
- Quality, tasty Indian foodbostongalDined on 5/17/2014I've both dined at this restaurant & ordered takeout and have always been happy with the quality of their food. They have a large variety of entrees and appetizers to please everyone (meat eaters, vegetarians, even those who are gluten free). I really appreciate that they'll customize the spice-level of your dish as well, since I like things on the mild side. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. It's a small restaurant in the heart of Stoneham...not fancy but has charm.Special Features:

- Love it:)PamelaDined on 3/1/2014We always go before performances at Stoneham but have picked up take out and gone many other times, we enjoy it that much! Have never had any negative experiences. Glad we made an open table reservation last Sat evening though as it became pretty crowded!Special Features:
- Good Food Good Price Good service.bestgillDined on 3/1/2014The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. The food came quickly, and was well seasoned and flavorful. The place is not fancy, but everyone at our table enjoyed the food, and the price was quite reasonable. I'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overwhelmed Valentine's DayJohndVIPDined on 2/14/2014We have been to this neighborhood gem many times and the food is always very good. I think it is the best Indian food in our area by far. Got a reservation for Valentine's The food was good but the restaurant was overwhelmed. We waited 60 minutes for our main course. Obviously the take out orders impacted the orders for people eating in. Although there were 2 people who arrived after I did and received their main course before we did. The staff and owner are wonderful were very apologetic but it diminished this meal for us. The Chicken Naral, Lamb Shanks, Vegetable Masala are all wonderful dishes. I will not go there again during a special occasion anytime soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noticed that the menu lookedwmkotDined on 12/13/2013Noticed that the menu looked very familiar. Come to find out, it's the same owners as Jewel in the Crown up in Newburyport which we dined at very frequently. Food at Rang was good, though I think the Newburyport location is a bit better. Had the okra (binde masala) and it was a bit dry. The chick pea dish was excellent and the lamb tandoori was also a bit dry. The lamb also had some kind of medicinal taste to it, maybe from the stuff they put on the skillet to make it sizzle like fajitas? Anyway, going to try it again and try the creamier dishes such as cashew chicken and saag. The waitstaff was wonderful!
- Good food, reasonable pricesOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/16/2013Very small place with little ambience, but the staff is friendly, the food is good and the prices are reasonable.
- Nice evening with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/9/2013We enjoyed a fun dinner with friends at this local Indian restaurant. There were many great choices on the menu. We split an appetizer selection and each of us had a different dish. I tasted them all and they were great - tandoori grill, lamb shank in curry, lamb kebab and chicken in a coconut curry. Great value! The restaurant is conveniently located near the Stoneham theater. We got the impression that many diners went to see the show after dining.Special Features:
- Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!AudraDVIPDined on 11/2/2013Great place for lunch or dinner. No buffet here. Everything is hot and fresh. Bindhi masala is to die for. I love the dahl, saag paneer and veggie samosas. Lots of variety in the menu. Nice wines by the glass - Riesling goes great with the spicyness. Has a full bar too. And they are on open table too. One of the best Indian places in the Boston area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better than expectedDannyVIPDined on 9/1/2013The outside of the place looks small and unappealing and when I opened the door and saw a curtain to push through to enter the restaurant I thought to myself "maybe I should get out of here". I sat down and the server was very friendly though and I actually never had Indian food before so it was a great experience. My friend and I were the only ones in there at one point so the place is not busy at all if you wanted to grab something to eat without much noise. If you want a local place with good service and a menu with many options for a good price, then go here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time eating at RangbeantownredDined on 8/3/2013We had gotten take out before, but we decided to walk to Rang for dinner this past Saturday night. Of course the food was even better as it was even fresher. Very vibrant flavors and tastes like it was made with care, and not just like typical fast-food take out Indian. Very high quality, good Indian food. (I've had some home cooked Indian on several occasions, and this is pretty close!) The atmosphere is simple but more upscale. Very enjoyable experience and another great restaurant Stoneham has to offer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food was freshly prepared and it was very flavorful and not overly spicy / Hot. Although my okra dish was a bit too salty it was very flavorful (but it could be served less dry / more juicy). The other dishes were very good. The service was friendly, efficient and the recommendations were on point. We paid around $120 for five adults We will returnSpecial Features:

- Will never go back!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/10/2012Not the best indian food I've had in Boston. Went during lunch time with a few co-workers and the service was horrible!!! We were not asked for drink orders, server and manager/owner watched us eat from behind the bar/ register, kitchen staff was extremely loud in the back of the restaurant, server was unable to follow instructions when it came to closing out which then result to receiving a bad attitude when we tried to re-explain to her how we wanted to close out. Will never go back.
- Great Indian RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/24/2011If you like spicy, you'll love Rang Indian Bistro! Even the mild dishes were well-spiced, so I'd start with those even if you like heat. If you like very mild, I would clarify that and not just stop at "mild." That said, the food was very good. The lamb shank was excellent, and everything else (a curry, malai kafta, a saag) were very good. They offer small and large bread plates (very generously sized) that included a variety of nans and poori. They have a wide array of appetizers and condiments, such as the cooling raita. They start you out with crackers with 2 sauces (sweet and savory). The wine we had, a Cabernet from Chile, was very good. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- We have been going to RangOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 11/19/2011We have been going to Rang for over a year now and we always have a great evening. The food is consistently good and the service is great. You can ask for mild, moderate or spicy. Moderate is pretty spicy for me. The staff are very accomodating and friendly. The prices are very reasonable. The place is small and lends itself to an intimate experience. This last visit we brought my husband's parents who also enjoyed the experience. We love having dinner at Rang and hope you will too.Special Features:

Birthright Citizenship's Unlikely Road to Supreme Court
Published on Wed, Dec 22, 2010
"Those children can't petition for their parents to become U.S. citizens until they are 21 years old and it most cases, the parents would be barred from getting a visa to the United States for 10 years," said Michelle Waslin, senior policy analyst at the American Immigration Council's Immigration Policy Center in Washington, D.C. "So that's a 31-year plan. It doesn't seem like it's a very good plan to legalize your status here in the U.S. It doesn't protect them from deportation."

Lamar Odom is about to get some heartbreaking news. Now that his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian has moved on and is reportedly planning a baby with new beau French Montana, friends of the professional basketball player are concerned it could set Lamar off into another drug-induced downward spiral.
Lamar Odom, 34, has not yet gotten over Khloe Kardashian, 29. However, she has made it very clear that she is ready to move on — and now everyone is worried about how Lamar will react to her alleged baby news with French Montana.
Lamar Odom — Devastated By Khloe's Baby News
While everyone wants for confirmation on whether or not Khloe and French will be having a baby together, all eyes are on her estranged husband, Lamar.
The recently signed New York Knicks forward is reportedly still head over heels for his wife, despite the fact that she has moved on. So of course if she were to have a baby with her new man, Lamar would be heartbroken.
"Lamar will be devastated and betrayed if she and French have a baby," an insider close to the professional ball player told InTouch Weekly in their May 5 issue.
Yikes. Hopefully, if Khloe and French really are expecting a baby together, she will tell Lamar herself before confirming the news publicly.
We here at HollywoodLife.com have previously reported that Khloe and Lamar talk "all the time," so Khloe already knows the importance of their friendship.
Lamar's Friends Concerned About His Heartbreak
Understandably so, Lamar's friends are very concerned about what could happen to him if he were to find out that Khloe is expecting another man's child.
Now that Lamar has his life in order again, it would be terrible to see him fall back into his alleged drug addiction over Khloe's baby news.
"If Khloe suddenly announces she's pregnant, it could also send him into another downward spiral," the source continued in their interview with the magazine.
"It would really hurt Lamar."
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — Do you think Khloe is pregnant with French's baby? How do you think Lamar will react to the news? Let us know your thoughts below.

Khloe is free to do what she wants , it was Lamar choice to start taking drugs know forced him to . He wasn't thinking about khloe when he was sleeping around with different women. I hope she is pregant she would make a great mom and I wish her all the best , she's been through so much she deserves to be happy
Posted at 1:04 PM on September 4, 2014
Are we ALL forgetting why Khloe couldn't get preggers by Lamar in the first place??? So honestly what makes y'all think she'll get preggers by that foolio French Montana so quickly w/her woman issues??
I feel for Khloe on the not being able to get pregnant part…. This whole story thou between Khloe & Lamar I don't think is over. I think after the dust settles we'll be hearing/seeing more!!!

Well clearly if u have watched kuwk and ive only watched maybe a third of the episodes u would know that khloe is unable to get pregnant so without medical intervention a baby is not possible. U need to be fertile and have working ovaries its not like every female can magically have babies.articles like this are stupid because of that.

Why the heck is this stupid article saying that Lamar is not over Chewbacca? He left that hulking monstrosity years ago and the reason he can't speak about is is because he, Scotty, Bruce Jenner and Rob signed a gagging order that prohibits them from speaking negativly about the Kuntrashian Klan. PMK has more balls than all of those so called men put together so I have no mercy for that crack head spear chucker. He signed his soul to the she-devils so he gets what he deserves. If he screws up with theNY Nicks, I'll personally come after junkie!

First of all I don't feel sorry for Lamar who has done more financial for Khole and her family than he has and will ever do for his own biological children that he helped create. Second of all Lamar should have never gotten himself involved in the Kardashian family, knowing them ho's are straight up gold diggers. Khole and her family set Lamar up from the very beginning to take all of his money. She didn't marry him for love, she married him strictly for the money.

text: On October 29, 2005 at 1038 eastern daylight time, a Swing Brian S, N1711Q registered to and operated by a private owner, collided with a airport sign during landing roll at Beaufort County Airport in Beaufort, South Carolina. The flight operated under provision of Title 14 CFR Part 91, personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident and a flight plan was not filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the pilot was not injured. The flight originated from Beaufort County Airport on October 29, 2005 at 1000.According to the pilot, during the landing flare the airplane landed "hard". The pilot further stated that the airplane went off the left side of runway 7 approximately 500 feet down from the approach end of runway 7, and collided with the precision approach position indicator lights. The airplane nosed over and rested inverted. Examination of the airplane revealed the fuselage was buckled and the empennage separated from the airframe. The left wing assembly sustained crush damage. The pilot did not report a mechanical problem with the airplane.

The Virginia softball team fell on Senior Day, 15-8, to No. 22 Notre Dame Saturday afternoon at The Park. The Cavaliers dropped to 6-38 overall and 1-22 in the ACC.
Before the game, Virginia honored its three seniors, Marcy Bowdren, Stephanie Harris and Karli Johnson.
The Cavaliers were down 12-0 in the fourth but rallied back, striking for five runs. Freshman Lindsay Mayer doubled off the center-field wall, scoring junior Heidi Velk. Freshman Madison Labshere doubled off the wall in left to score fellow freshman Katie Park and Mayer. Junior Megan Harris homered on the next pitch to cut the lead to 12-5. It was her first home run of the season.
In the fifth, the Cavaliers loaded the bases with no outs before Mayer walked to score Velk. Labshere followed with another walk to score freshman Iyana Hughes, but the Cavaliers couldn't muster any more runs in the frame.
Virginia scored their eighth run on another bases-loaded walk for Labshere that scored Hughes in the sixth.
Up next, the Cavaliers conclude their 2014 home schedule with James Madison in a doubleheader on April 22 at 5 p.m. and Liberty in a twin bill on April 23 at 4 p.m.

Bay, Lake Superior

| There
has been much discussion lately about the digital revolution at the turn
of the present millennium. Changes in the last century, however were probably
far more dramatic to a person born in the middle of the 19th century than
what we are seeing today. A person growing and living in apartments for rent or homes on the shore of one of the Great Lakes would have witnessed many dramatic revolutions in technology as economic conditions in transportation forced rapid changes in the types of ships and cargo plying the lakes.
In the short span of about fifty years, sail would evolve into steam, steel replace wood, and lighting would become electrified, replacing the oil lamp. As ground transportation developed as an alternative to lake travel, passenger steamers would be transformed into the bulk carriers still traveling the lakes today.
The years just before and just after 1900 were a very busy time for shipping on the Great Lakes. Heavy traffic mixed with fog, cavalier captains, and late fall and early summer gales made the sailing or steaming on these lakes the most hazardous on earth. Thousands of ships have blown ashore, foundered, exploded, burned, or collided during the last 150 years. The last major shipwreck, the Edmund Fitzgerald, occurred in the 1970s off Whitefish Point, in Lake Superior.
Many of these wrecks have been found, and are dove each summer by scuba divers skilled in the art of Great Lakes diving. Each shipwreck is a window into the technology, customs, and craft from the era in which it was built. No two shipwrecks or ships are exactly alike.
Most of the wrecks lie within underwater preserves, and are buoyed. All shipwrecks are now protected, so no artifact collecting is allowed. Information on where to dive these wrecks is available from the various states and provinces around the lakes. Continuing research leads to more discoveries every year and, because of the ban on artifact collecting, these wrecks tend to be the most interesting to dive. All have a story to tell.

Written by Rich Forestano Friday, 28 January 2011 00:00
A heart attack can be a painful, life-changing and frightening thing. Just ask North Hempstead Town Clerk Leslie Gross and hospice nurse Nancy Black.
Gross didn't suffer a heart attack, but she felt its effects. Her brother, Bob Claster, was living in Israel last April and was a frequent jogger at the peak of his health at age 53. Claster was also a swimmer and loved to work out and exercise.
Gross said he and his friends were out jogging one morning and realized Bob, who usually led the pack, was lagging behind and fell to the ground. He suffered a heart attack. His friends brought him to a local hospital, which took all the necessary measures to save his life, but were unsuccessful.
Gross told the Mineola American that when she came back from Israel, she wanted to do something to "get the word out" about heart attack awareness and prevention. This led to a call to Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola.
"I wanted heart health care awareness to increase," she said. "This hospital does a phenomenal job and I thought this was the perfect place to showcase."
The Town of North Hempstead will air Gross' heart attack symptoms, prevention and aftercare coverage in February, which is Heart Awareness month on NHTV. Gross said she hopes that people will be inspired by the documentary to be more open about their heart problems.
Emergency Department Chairman Barry Rosenthal said the program at Winthrop is geared toward prevention. Rosenthal said Winthrop does some things some hospitals don't do.
"We're very fortunate to have a catheterization lab here," he said. "We have the availability to have that open 24 hours. The mantra we carry in the emergency room and the cardiologists carry is that time is muscle. The more time that passes without the muscle getting adequate blood flow, the more long term damage there will be."
Some of the most common signs of a heart attack occurring are chest pains, nausea, shortness of breath and sweating. However, Rosenthal said there are a few signs that aren't well known.
"Back pain, diaphoresis and abdominal pain are a few," he said. "Also, men may have different symptoms than women."
Gross said if she knew then what she knows now, certain things might be different. "Education on this subject is power," Gross stated. "It would go a long way for a person who's going through chest pains, and can't tell if it's indigestion or a heart attack."
You don't have to tell Nancy Black that. Black, a hospice nurse who was treated by Winthrop, awoke the morning of July 17, 2010 and during breakfast, started having chest pains.
"I thought it was just indigestion," she said.
Black happened to have a doctor's appointment that morning and when she was finished getting dressed, she felt "rather unwell. I was sweating a little and had some discomfort in my chest, but it wasn't acute and I decided to go to the doctor early."
Black said when she arrived, nurses were surprised she was early, but didn't think much of it. Upon sitting for some time, Black said she began to feel like she was losing breath and it dawned on her that she was having a heart attack.
"As soon as I said it, they burst into the waiting room and took me in for an EKG and confirmed I was having one."
Black stated that even though she is in the health care industry, she's very stubborn when it comes to going to the doctor. "I tend to think I'm stronger than I truly am," she said. "I'm just happy Dr. Marzo was here to help me. Prior to starting cardiac rehab, Dr. Marzo told me to start walking again and I usually walk on the beach for three miles a day. Then when I started rehab he made me start off very slow on the treadmill. I had to walk 1.2 miles and it was frustrating but it was for my health so it was fine."
Chief of Cardiology Dr. Kevin Marzo treated Black and placed two stents in her heart, which effectively saved her life. "She's a strong woman," he said.
"I was really lucky," Black said. "I did very well. I've had no problems at all since then," she concluded while knocking on wood.
Marzo showcased the catheterization or "cath" lab, which uses diagnostic imaging equipment to support the catheterization procedure. A catheter is inserted into a large artery, and various wires and devices can be inserted through the body via the catheter, which is inside the artery.
Marzo said that angiograms are done to find the blockage in the heart and prevent heart damage that can occur with a heart attack. "Angioplasty has been around since the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was a way to fix a blockage non-invasively, meaning non-open heart surgery. It still was a procedure that you have inject dye, and it was a little tiny balloon that was designed to open up plaque," he said.
When the stent came into play, it made the procedure much more simple, according to Marzo. "It's very effective in keeping a blockage open."

Blockbusters For Shia
This may surprise you, but the star of a multi-billion-dollar franchise does not want to make anymore studio films…
Who is this brave soul?
Shia LaBeouf. The Transformers actor has decided to part ways with the studio system, even though it has been his steady bread and butter his entire career.
"I'm done," LaBeouf told The Hollywood Reporter. "There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist."
The 26-year-old actor is getting on the indie wave, currently promoting his new film, Lawless. The recent switch may have come out of necessity, not just free will, considering LaBeouf had a falling-out with Steven Spielberg after the former stated they all (including Spielberg) "dropped the ball" in the Indiana Jones film.
"He told me there's a time to be a human being and have an opinion, and there's a time to sell cars," the actor stated. "It brought me freedom, but it also killed my spirits, because this was a dude I looked up to like a sensei."
We suppose it'll be nothing but indie films for Shia from now on. This side of the industry will put a personal spin on each work, hopefully keeping LaBeouf in line. Maybe he'll receive a bit more acting credibility as well. Who knows?

The memorial service held at the Everest Metro Police Department for National Law Enforcement Week included officials and citizens from around Marathon County. Guest speakers included Assistant Attorney General David Perlam and State Rep. Jerry Petrowski.
"Most police officers have made that decision that the community's life, the public's life, is more important than theirs, and that's huge," says Chief Dan Vergin, Everest Metro Police Department.
Inspirational words and songs were delivered were delivered by family members of fallen officers, including a daughter of a local deputy, Jeffrey Sheets, who lost his life 10 years ago.
The National Law Enforcement Week was spearheaded by President John F. Kennedy in 1962. This year, more than 15,000 officers have lost their lives in the line of duty, including two in Wisconsin.

Rain may slow harvest by up to a week
A storm that dumped up to 3 inches of rain in parts of south Arkansas is putting winter wheat planting and summer crop harvesting on hold, but making for some nice spots for southbound ducks.
In Chicot County, where flood warnings were in effect there and in neighboring Ashley County on Oct. 31, "We have had more rain and delays this year since the wet harvest season in 2009," said Gus Wilson, County Extension Staff Chair for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. "I just hope that we don't have to replant a lot of acres of wheat and hope we can get more wheat planted by late November.
"Right now all we can do now is hope for the best," he said.
In Central Arkansas, where amounts averaged under an inch, there was still enough rain to slow field work.
"Looks like this rain has delayed our harvest at least three days depending on the sun and wind," Keith Perkins, Lonoke County Extension agent. "We have been blessed that we have not had more at this time, but the verdict is still out until the front passes."
Next door in Prairie County, Extension Staff Chair Brent Griffin said most of the .75 inches has soaked into the ground, and growers would welcome a bit of dry weather.
"We still have 25 percent of the beans in the field with a few late patches of rice," he said.
"Five to seven days of dry weather would be welcomed especially if we do not have to harvest in the mud. Producers here would still plant some wheat, but will have to see what this last round of rain brings midday."
The winds that accompanied the rain mean folks who want to enjoy the autumn color will have to look fast.
"Trees have really started to change for fall," he said. "The wind is really blowing the leaves off."
The rain "will definitely slow logging," said Jaret Rushing, Calhoun County Extension agent. "Many timber harvesting crews were in lowlands trying to harvest some end-of-the-year tracts in low bottomlands with loamy and sandy soils. However, this rain will move them out, especially if they have any type of no-rutting clause in their timber deeds.
"On a positive note, some of the wildlife management areas and refuges that rely heavily on rainfall in order to flood for the upcoming duck season will have ample amounts of water," he said.
In northeastern Arkansas, Clay County Extension Staff Chair Andy Vangilder said Oct. 31 that "We had a half inch already this morning and still raining here. Our cotton crop is not even half out and we need sunshine to finish trying to get the rest of the cotton open and ready for harvest.
"We just barely dodged the bullet on a bad freeze last week and we need to get a break so we can get this cotton out," he said. " We still have several acres of soybeans to but they can take the rain a little better than cotton. Two weeks of good weather would put us a long way toward finishing up."
