Look here for an overview and a place to get the forms you need.
Under the common law, there was a presumption that a child born to a marriage was a child of the husband. This presumption could only be overcome by a showing of sterility, impotency, or that the husband had no access to his wife at the time of conception.
In recent years, many states have adopted more relaxed rules, permitting the presumption to be rebutted under other circumstances. In California, the presumption can be challenged by a presumptive father or child for any reason as long as it is raised within two years of the child's birth. In the same period, the mother can challenge it only if the biological father has filled a written declaration acknowledging paternity. In either case, blood testing is used to resolve the paternity dispute. Once the two year period has elapsed, however, the presumption is conclusive, unless the common law grounds can be established.
The "conclusive presumption," found in (California Code] section 7540, states: "Except as provided in Section 7541 [providing for the use of blood tests], the child of a wife cohabiting with her husband, who is not impotent or sterile, is conclusively presumed to be a child of the marriage." Under section 7541, requests for blood tests to rebut the conclusive presumption of paternity must be made within two years of the child's birth and can only be made by the husband, the child, the mother or a "presumed father" as defined in sections 7611 and 7612.

Goal.com cartoonist Omar Momani gives us his unique take on the football news of the dayLimp and hung out to dry, Joe Cole and Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh had become two of the footballing wilderness' most high-profile members in the last six months.
Fortunately, West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has always been a man to appreciate the quality of vintage goods, and was quick to sign the duo on Friday in the early days of the January transfer window.
Snapped off the shelf and handed a second chance at Upton Park, 31-year-old Cole will be hoping for a happy return to east London, while the Moroccan's six-month loan spell is a perfect chance to show his worth to his parent club in the north of the capital...

Natural Gas Exports to Mexico Dip; Quick Recovery Unlikely
Pearson, Anne, THE JOURNAL RECORD
HOUSTON _ This time last year, U.S. natural gas marketers were sizing up Mexico as a big expansion market.
This spring, however, natural gas exports to Mexico are languishing, and some industry experts are wondering if their growth forecasts weren't overly optimistic.
Exports to northern Mexico dropped from about 300 million cubic feet a day early this year to as low as 70 million early this month when natural gas prices moved up to $2.75 per thousand cubic feet.
Spot prices in mid-May moderated to around $2.30 per thousand cubic feet, and export volumes to Mexico have since rebounded to about 120 million cubic feet a day.
Gas marketers in Houston say they're not expecting exports to recover entirely any time soon.
Traders blame the slump on rising prices that made U.S. natural gas less competitive. To make matters worse, Mexico shut three big ammonia plants that used imported natural gas. Ammonia is widely used for fertilizer.
A gas trading official with Pemex, Mexico's state oil company, said with ammonia prices slumping and gas costs rising, it made sense to shut down some of the plants for maintenance.
Those shutdowns have reduced demand for imported gas from the United States by 150 million cubic feet, the Pemex official said.
When those plants come back on line depends largely on what ammonia prices do, he said.
Other industry sources say some of the export sag is the result of Mexican industrial plants switching from gas to cheaper residual fuel oil, a plentiful byproduct of some of Mexico's relatively low-tech refineries. …

Role of Energy Conservation
However, whenever energy conservation programs are being considered, all the implications of reducing electricity consumption must be evaluated. For example, the utility bill for heating a building can be lowered by reducing the ventilation. However, the reduced ventilation may result in poor indoor air quality, thus having negative impacts on the health and productivity of the occupants. This is an example of "penny wise and pound foolish" because the energy savings are quickly offset by the negative consequences.
Electricity consumption needs to be viewed in the context of an overall energy management plan. The challenge is to optimize energy use to increase profitability of your business, industry, or service. For residential customers, the objective is to use energy as efficiently as possible without adverse impacts on health and comfort.

Jackson, Miss.
Paul Kevin Curtis, who was charged and then cleared of sending poison-laced letters to President Barack Obama and others, has filed a defamation lawsuit against the current suspect in the case.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Alcorn County Circuit Court.
It says James Everett Dutschke framed Curtis when he sent ricin-tainted letters on April 8 to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Sadie Holland, a Mississippi judge.
Curtis was arrested in Corinth April 17, but the charges were dropped six days later.
Dutschke was arrested April 27 at his home in Tupelo. He denies involvement.
The lawsuit says Curtis, an entertainer and Elvis impersonator, was portrayed as a terrorist and lost income because he was "no longer marketable in his chosen field."

Toyota is set to debut a hybrid RAV4. I'm not sure what's taken them so long.
Tag: hybrid cars
The next 25 years of automotive powertrain technology belongs to the internal combustion engine, according to oil & gas giant ExxonMobil. While many will dismiss this as the wishful thinking of an industrial dinosaur, it's worth remembering that 25 years isn't that long of a timeframe in the automotive world.
"I think it's fairly interesting from a cultural memory standpoint, that American car buyers, for the most part, don't seem to have memory of gas prices two, three or six months ago,"

Since we started out this week with a relatively late-model Junkyard Find, I'm going to jump into the 21st century and share the first Honda Insight I've ever found in a high-inventory-turnover, self-service wrecking yard. I've seen a few thoroughly stripped early Priuses and didn't think they were worth photographing, but the tiny two-seater first-gen Insight made the Prius look like a fuel-swilling pig and that makes it a much more interesting car to me. 61 highway miles per gallon, all sorts of advanced aluminum components, and a coefficient of drag of just 0.25… and yet this one couldn't stay clear of The Crusher.

While the notion of a hybrid car that features a 6.75 liter internal combustion engine might seem a bit oxymoronic to some, rich folks like to demonstrate their environmental bona fides as much as anyone. With so many supercars like the Porsche 918 or the McLaren P1 featuring hybrid powertrains that combine green cred with mind-boggling amounts of total power and torque, high end hybrids have become the automotive version of eating your cake and having it too. Bentley's new plug in hybrid concept is based on their Mulsanne flagship and they're featuring it at the 2014 Beijing auto show. It manages to reduce CO2 output by 70% while increasing power by 25% and has a battery-only range of 31 miles (50 km). (Read More…)

Reading Alex Dykes' review of the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid, I was reminded of something by Alex's description of the Accord's drivetrain layout. Unlike the Toyota and Ford parallel hybrid systems (similar in function but arrived at independently), or the Chevy Volt's Voltec drivetrain (a different spin, no pun intended, on the same basic idea that allows the Volt to operate mostly in pure electric or serial hybrid modes), which all connect electric motors and a gasoline engine to a planetary gearset, the Accord now uses an inline serial/parallel hybrid system, a concept that actually goes back a century to the Woods Dual Power automobile.

When Australia pledged to accept 15,000 Jewish refugees from Europe in 1938, it was applauded by the London Times as "a characteristically generous contribution" and an example for others. Australia's reputation for generous humanitarianism was solidified after the war when it absorbed more than 180,000 of Europe's Displaced Persons and committed to international human rights instruments designed to protect refugees and asylum seekers. This reputation has been used to both defend and critique the nation's contemporary responses to asylum seekers. Recent Australian Prime Ministers have invoked Australia's proud record of refugee resettlement to deflect criticism of their tough border control policies, policies which critics charge repudiate the nation's humanitarian traditions. This article critically reviews the history of Australia's responses to refugees and asylum seekers prior to 1951 and demonstrates that contemporary border control policies are neither a deviation from, nor defence of, a proud humanitarian record. Rather, they embody the migration management approach to refugees that provided impetus for Federation in 1901, governed Australia's response to the Jewish refugee crisis in the 1930s, and shaped its conditional acceptance of the Displaced Persons and the position it adopted in the drafting of the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees in 1951.

2011-12 Butler Women's Basketball
Butler (6-9, 2-2) at Valparaiso (4-11, 0-4)
Saturday, Jan. 14 - 2:30 p.m. ET (1:30 local)
Valparaiso, Ind. - Athletics-Recreation Center
Live Stats | Live Video | Game Notes
The Starting 5 - Butler's Top Storylines
1. Need To Stay Hot: Saturday's contest at Valparaiso, like all conference games, is a big one. A victory for BU can lift the Bulldogs over .500 in league play. A big part of winning on the road Saturday will be the team's ability to play well offensively for the third consecutive game. Butler was hot last weekend, shooting .490 during wins over Youngstown State and Cleveland State. The Bulldogs shot 50 percent vs. YSU and nearly matched that with 48 percent shooting vs. CSU. Butler made 14-of-35 (.400) from 3-point range last week.
2. Balanced Scoring: A by-product of Butler's hot shooting last week was a balanced offensive attack. Six different Bulldog players scored in double figures during the two Butler wins. Devin Brierly led four players in double digits with 19 points against YSU. Haley Howard (14), Hannah Douglas (11) and Becca Bornhorst (11) each supplied balanced scoring. In Saturday's win over CSU, Sarah Hamm (14) and Jenna Cobb (11) supported Brierly's 13-point performance.
3. Controlling The Boards: Over the past three games, BU is averaging a +9.0 rebounding margin while out-rebounding its opponent each time. The Bulldogs were +5 at Wright State on New Year's eve and then continued to control the glass at home last week. Butler held a 41-28 rebounding edge vs. Youngstown State and a 37-28 advantage vs. Cleveland State. Four different players grabbed six boards against YSU.
4. Young Bulldogs: Butler has had young teams in the past, but no team has had young players on the floor for more minutes than this year's BU squad. Through the first 15 games of the season, freshmen and sophomores are accounting for 70.1% of the team's total minutes. Freshmen Haley Howard, Hannah Douglas and Amanda Raker have drawn starting assignments in addition to sophomores Jenna Cobb and Sarah Hamm. Only one senior, Devin Brierly, plays significant minutes.
5. Always Home In Indiana: The Bulldogs have posted a 23-7 record against schools from Indiana dating back to 2007. That mark includes a 3-2 record this year and a 5-2 mark last season. BU is 6-2 vs. Valpo during that span.
Butler vs. Valparaiso: The series between Butler and Valparaiso dates back to 1980, with BU leading 20-5. The Bulldogs, who have won six of the last seven, are 6-2 against the Crusaders since Valpo joined the Horizon League in 2007. Beth Couture is 6-4 against Valparaiso.
Last Year vs. Valpo: The Bulldogs beat the Crusaders by double digits twice last season. On Jan. 2, 2011, Butler won 61-49 at Hinkle in both teams' league opener. In last year's season finale, the Dawgs won 58-47 at the ARC.
Guarding The Crusaders: Butler hasn't allowed more than 52 points against Valpo in the last four meetings. The Crusaders are averaging just 47.7 points per game against BU in those four games.
Paint Work: Butler has been winning the battles in the paint recently. The Dawgs have out-scored their last three opponents 84-58 in the paint. That total includes a 32-18 edge vs. YSU and a 30-18 advantage against CSU last Saturday.
Freshman Impact: Three freshmen have started recent games for Butler. Haley Howard, a 5-11 forward, is Butler's leading scorer and foul shooter. She has nine double-digit scoring games this season. Hannah Douglas, a 5-9 lefty guard, is a starter and is the team's leading rebounder. Amanda Raker, a 6-1 post started two games and plays 17.7 minutes per game.
Haley Should Be First: Haley Howard, Butler's leading scorer, was briefly the national leader in free throw percentage. Howard is 36-for-38 at the foul line, good for 94.7 percent. She is two attempts short of qualifying for the NCAA rankings. Howard, a forward from Whiteland, Ind., has gone 4-for-4 at the line on five different occasions. She made the first 23 free throws of her college career before missing against Marian on Dec. 17.
Devin's Increased Production: Devin Brierly, the only senior playing significant minutes this season, entered this season averaging 4.4 points per game for her career. She has been asked to score more this year, averaging 10.6 points per game. She scored a career-high 22 against Ball State, 20 at IPFW and 19 on Thursday against YSU.
Devin's Improved 3-Point Shooting: After three seasons and 87 career games, Devin Brierly was a .317 career shooter from 3-point range. She has sharpened her shot this year, ranking ninth in the Horizon League with .368 shooting from long range.
New Lineup: Butler used its sixth starting lineup this season the past three games. Post players Amanda Raker and Becca Bornhorst started the previous two games, but Haley Howard was given the start against CSU. Eight different players have started a game this season.
Dawgs In 2011: Butler finished 18-17 in the 2011 calendar year, including a 14-10 mark against league opponents. Butler finished 22-12 in the 2010 year.
Cobb vs. Cleveland State: Jenna Cobb matched her career high of 11 points last Saturday against Cleveland State. She shot 5-for-7 with two assists and two steals. Her previous 11-point game was also against Cleveland State, on Jan. 13 of last year. The two 11-point games vs. CSU are the only double-digit scoring performances of the Ohio native's Butler career.
More On Howard: Haley Howard is averaging a team-high 10.9 points per game on .455 shooting and has scored in double figures nine times. The Whiteland, Ind., native has tallied at least 11 points in six of the last nine contests and she was named all-tournament at Nevada's Nugget Classic.
Bench Marks: As BU's starting lineup periodically changes, Butler has been able to bring starter-quality players off the bench in most games. Over the last three games, the Bulldogs are out-scoring opponents 82-27 in bench points. As Valparaiso only plays seven players in league play, Butler may have the edge in that area against the Crusaders.
Keep The Lock Down On 'D': The Bulldogs have held eight opponents to worse than 37 percent shooting this season. Six opponents have not been able to score 60 points against the Dawgs. Butler's last three opponents, Wright State, Youngstown State and Cleveland State, have averaged 51.7 points per game on .323 shooting from the floor.
Pressure The Ball: Butler has had success on defense when it pressures the ball and forces turnovers. The Bulldogs have forced 20+ turnovers seven times this season. Butler forced 24 Marian turnovers on Dec. 17, and it took the ball away 27 times against Ball State and 24 times against Bradley. The Dawgs are second in the Horizon League with 10.1 steals per game.
8 Treys 4 Times: BU tied its season high with eight made 3-pointers last Saturday vs. Cleveland State. It was the fourth time this season the Bulldogs have made eight treys.
Offense In Wins, Losses: Shooting has been a key factor in determining Butler's results this season. BU is shooting .430 and scoring 66.0 points per game in victories. Those numbers dip to .358 shooting and 54.3 points in losses.
Mandy's Arc: Mandy McDivitt is known as Butler's primary long-range shooter off the bench. The sophomore from Connersville, Ind., has made 46 career field goals, 41 of which have been 3-pointers. McDivitt, who plays 21.8 minutes per game, is tied with Haley Howard for second on the team with 16 made 3-point field goals.
Couture's Cause: When not patrolling the Butler sideline, Beth Couture has spent her time in the battle against breast cancer. Couture, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2009, rushed through treatments to make it on the sidelines for the start of the 2009-10 season. Couture has been cancer-free for more than a year and has participated in several awareness events. She is the honorary chairwoman for St. Vincent Women of Hope, a breast cancer awareness group. Each Woman of Hope participant pledges to raise or give $1,000 annually for the cancer cause of her choice.
Block Party: Sarah Hamm is second in the Horizon League with 1.4 blocks per game. She's had at least one rejection in 10 of the team's 15 games. Hamm has blocked four shots in a game twice this season, with four each at IPFW and against Bradley. The sophomore center owns 21 blocked shots, while the rest of Butler's team has 23 blocks.
Up Next: After Saturday's game at Valparaiso, the Bulldogs will go to Chicago for a pair of games. Both games will be a doubleheader with the men's team. BU will play at UIC Thursday, Jan. 19 at 5:30 p.m. ET (4:30 local). The Dawgs will then play at Loyola Saturday, Jan. 21.

Placing wards of cow tongues and sheep blood around doors and windows is said to scare off the proddings of stalkers. Many tales and childrens stories tell of the silent stalker that enters the cracked window or unlocked door in the dead of night to steal the breath from a sleeping child. Crib deaths are often blamed on this silent stalker even though it is not true.

The Seyeverasin are supernaturally excellent musicians- no other can play a cello as well as them, and when the moon wanes, one may hear their haunting phantom strains echoing about night-time mountain cliffs, by dark pools, and in places where mortals no longer go or have never gone.
The Lavas are animalistic warrior-demons who converge in packs like lice on the inconceivable walls of Hell, filled with inconceivable fury and berzerk bloodthirst.

Born: 05/11/1968
Birth Place: Amesbury, Massachusetts, USA
Born on May 11, 1968, in Amesbury, MA, Jeffrey T. Donovan was raised by his divorced mother, Nancy Matthews, who worked in a factory in order to rear her three boys - one of whom died in a car accident in 1987. At that time, Donovan described his close-knit family as "incredibly poor." Growing into his teens, Donovan discovered that acting was a successful way to demand attention. During English class at Amesbury High School, the assignment was either to write about Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice or act out one of Shylock's monologues. Not a fan of putting pen to paper, Donovan decided to don a black robe for his first amateur role, which the whole class applauded and for which he r... Continue Bio >>

I wrote this review for publication in The Daily Camera. Turns out I was misinformed about being able to venture outside Boulder and Broomfield county in search of culinary experience.
Enjoy my take nonetheless.
Foodie Field Trip: Denver Il Posto
I'd travel far and wide in search of a precisely prepared plate of risotto. When hearing about potential perfection lurking in Denver from a friend who runs an award winning travel newsletter about all things Italy, I stood at attention and followed her orders, heading to Il Posto to judge for myself if said specimen was indeed the holy grail of ravable riz.
During her diatribe about Il Posto's risotto, Kathy explained that Chef Andrea Frizzi's incarnation doesn't use butter in its preparation. Il Posto's embodiment relies only on fine evoo and full flavored cheese to add richness to the offering. As a person with a zealot's veneration of butter, I found this to fly in the face of all risotto reason, but her endorsement generated enough curiosity for me to find out just how magnificent butter-less risotto could be.
Risotto, if you've been living under a rock since the early 80's and don't know, is an Italian dish made from high starch rice such as arborio. Because creating great risotto is all about proper technique and unwavering dedication to stirring at the stove, it's elusive to find a well executed plate of it at a restaurant. Risotto takes the preparers complete attention and must be served immediately, rather than sit and wait for a busy chef's divided and multi-tasked attention.
On the night of my visit, Il Posto was offering two different types of "risotti." I chose the Risotto Cavoletti di bruxelles alla griglia, broccoli spigarello ($21), loosely translated: risotto with brussel sprouts, an heirloom variety of broccoli rabe and a semi-soft cow's milk cheese from the Veneto region of Italy. I also ordered an Assaggini (first course) of "fungi"; hedgehog and hen of the woods mushrooms, kuri squash, crispy salsify, ugli fruit , almond oil and quince ($12). I shared the mozzarella di bufala served with finocchione, basil and black Hawaiian sea salt ($13).
To my delight, the fungi dish arrived as an enlivened canvas painted with creamcicle orange, earthly brown, and spring green, framed by its stark white rectangular platter. So artful, I wanted to hang it on my wall rather than eat it. At first, I was skeptical about the components of this – mushrooms, ugli fruit and quince? I though for sure this would be a cacophony of flavors and an assault on my senses. My tongue's verdict however was in opposition; a crunch of fried salsify, the acquiescence of quince gelatin, the buttery bite of seared mushrooms all combined into a textural and flavor symphony that played over and over in my head.
House-made buffalo mozzerella and finocchione piles were precisely placed in stacks along the oblong platter. Having overdosed on caprese salads long ago, this version sans tomato with the addition of savory salumi could be the trigger that hooks me into abusing mozzarella again. Fresh basil flavor perfumed without overpowering. Granules of black salt peppered the platter for an appealing presentation.
My companion sampled an Il Posto signature dish; handmade pappardelle with marjoram sausage ragu, oyster mushrooms and Grana Padano cheese ($15). The neighbors at the next table agreed that there was nothing spectacular to report about this dish, as they'd ordered the same. The pasta dough was rolled a touch too thin to retain a to- the- tooth temperament. Slathered with mediocre bolognese, this was served in a massive round bowl, belittling the ribbons of semolina.
A wonderfully crisp Prosecco may have been the perfect choice from the impressive Italian wine list to enliven and prepare my taste buds for my main dish. The risotto arrived unadorned aside from the islands of melting cheese and buoys of bright brussel sprouts and boutique broccoli rapini. While the portion size was small for the twenty-one dollar price tag, the chef proved to be a veritable arborio vigilante. I imagined him standing on guard watching, waiting for the precise second that the grains absorbed the exact amount of stock needed to make each firm grain collapse into velvety oblivion upon chew.
While clearly prepared with surgical precision, the omission of butter was something I still missed. This risotto was delicate, dainty and demure, I didn't leave full. Risotto prepared this way would be well suited as a lunch, an appetizer or a side dish rather than a main course. My preference is still a richer preparation with the succulence that only butter can add.
As skilled as this chef was with most of the items we sampled, I will note that service and portion sizing did not seem to warrant prices as high as they were. When paying a king's ransom for rice, I'd expect doting and professional service, and/or notable ambiance. Waiting 10 minutes before being greeted, over 25 minutes to place an order or ask questions of our harried server, and not receiving any follow up was inexcusable. By the time she checked in, we were no longer interested in dessert.
Environs are simple: open kitchen, chalk board menus, cherry wood tables, wooden board flooring, and plain white walls. Wine storage lockers line the back wall of the space and a garage door entryway anchors the decor.
If you're a seeker of risotto experiences I'd suggest checking in at Il Posto for lunch. Saunter over in the spring when the garage door is open. That way you can experience all of the culinary positives, prices will be lower, the ambiance will be in the people watching outside and you can be the judge of your very own plate of "risotti" without rolling out too much dough.

I'm familiar with the ways I can get an element position in array, especially the ones showed here: Element position in array
But my problem is I can't figure out how to convert this code to fit my needs.
What I want to check is if a String has a match in an ArrayList and if so, what's the index of the String in the ArrayList.
The annoying part is I managed to verify the String is in the ArrayList (see first line of my code)
listPackages is the ArrayList
current_package is the String I want to find its position in listPackages.
Here's my code:
if (listPackages.contains(current_package)) {
int position = -1;
for(int j = 0; j < listPackages.size(); j++) {
if(listPackages[j] == current_package) {
position = j;
Would appreciate any help!

50 Cent's $750K Challenge: Floyd Mayweather Can't Read (UPDATE: How About Dr. Seuss?) (VIDEO)
Update (4:15 p.m. PST, August 21, 2014):
Breaking news, you guys! Fiddy got a call from Jimmy Kimmel and Floyd has been invited to accept 50's challenge live on Jimmy's show (see the rapper share the news on his Instagram). And, to make the deal all the sweeter, 50 Cent has changed the reading material from Harry Potter to The Cat in the Hat. This is getting serious.
Original story (2:40 p.m. PST, August 21, 2014):
Leave it to 50 Cent to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to the next level. The "Candy Shop" rapper recently had his turn at the popular fundraiser, which gives participants the choice of either donating to ALS research or dumping a bucket of ice water over their heads (many choose to do both). For his nominations of who's up next, Fiddy set his sights on just one person: boxer Floyd Mayweather.
In the video, 50 Cent tells Floyd he will donate $750,000 (!!!) to Floyd's charity of choice if the boxer can read just one full page out of a Harry Potter book "out loud without starting and stopping or f—g up." It's, 50 says, an "ALS/ELS" challenge (we're thinking he meant ESL with that last one).
His message sent, Fiddy then grabs a bucket of ice water and shouts "F—k the bucket of ice" as he tosses it onto his nicely manicured lawn, skipping his own drenching. It's pretty hilarious if you want to check it out for yourself; just be warned, there's some NSFW language because 50 Cent.
The gauntlet has officially been thrown! Will Floyd accept his nemesis's latest challenge? Man, let's hope so.
What do you think? Floyd up to the task or Fiddy might as well burn that money now?

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Dina Manzo Opens Up About ALL the Drama & The Toxic Affect on Her Family!Sunny Chanel
Dina Manzo probably had dreams that all the Real Housewives of New Jersey drama would be behind her after she quit the show. But when her sister, sister in law, and one of her best friends still are featured on the show, it was proven that she can't get the distance she wanted. And the drama isn't just affecting her personal "image" it's affecting her family from her parents, sisters, brothers, her daughter to her god daughter Teresa Giudice's youngest. Dina penned a very lengthy blog post about her feelings of being dragged back into the "toxic behavior" of the Real Housewives of New Jersey and what really happened.
What did she say?
First she addressed why she left the show, saying: "Yes, It's true I decided to distance myself from ALL the housewives once I left season 2… I really wanted to walk away from all of the toxic behavior, I was not into ganging up on anyone and I was no longer obligated to talk about Danielle so the best thing for me to do was stay away. They still needed to do this and I get that, but I had no desire. I guess some of the "housewives" may have taken that as I think I'm better than them…that couldn't be further from the truth."
Dina would not divulge what happened behind the scenes with "certain family member" (read Caroline Manzo.) But she did say that, "Feelings did get hurt…I won't get into them because I have no desire to rehash the past that can only hurt my parents whom I adore."
As for the affect on her family? "All I will say is that I LOVE all my brothers and sisters nieces and nephews, and I want nothing but the best for them and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I do hope they feel the same about me. If any of them needed me I would be there for them in a heartbeat. There are 11 of us, 5 are girls, there is always someone fighting with someone at some point, that's just the way it is with a big family. I have a sister that not only lives with me but works with me, I'm going to Europe with another sister in a few weeks…we all have our ups and downs and there are some of us that just gravitate towards one another because we are more alike, that doesn't mean we hate the others or at least that's how I feel."
As for Teresa? Dina said, "She mentioned the drama with her and Caroline and I told her that if this is all about a joke in a book (and she assured me it was) that's not enough for me to hate the mother of my God daughter and a friend of 15 years. Was it necessary to write that stuff in her book? probably not but I don't think it was written with malice either. We are all guilty of joking a little too much now & then…"Teresa jokes" were all over this season, everyone of them took their turn on talkin smack."
She added that, "Teresa had nothing to do with me staying away from everyone."
She also added what she hoped could be the reality of reality TV, "Lets showcase what women are capable of, what I thought this show was going to be back in the day~ Running successful businesses, supporting amazing causes, raising incredible children and looking fabulous every step of the way. Unfortunately, not sure what the ratings on that would be : ( so I doubt that will happen."
But there was a good thing that came out of Dina's involvement on the show. Her foundation for kid's with cancer Project Ladybug got a whole lot more exposure. She said, "Working with these children & their families has been the biggest eye opening experience for me. I have become a better person than I was because of it and that is the truth."

The benefits of taking unified communications mobile.
UC Isn't Just for the OfficeThe benefits of taking unified communications mobile.
Unified communications (UC) is often viewed as an office-based technology. Because UC is founded on VoIP, and VoIP is increasingly replacing legacy PBX systems, there is an associated preconception to think in legacy PBX terms, with one box (or server) routing voice calls to extensions throughout a building.
But this is the age of agnostic networking.
Packets don't care if they run over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, LTE, or anything else. They also don't care if they're voice packets, video, or text. As such, it's imperative to view UC as a mobility solution as much as a productivity and collaboration tool for desk workers. In an increasing number of cases, it can pay to not distinguish mobile from desktop UC at all.
Joe Schurman, UC strategy consultant and former founder/CEO of Evangelyze Communications, points to "simultaneous ring" as one obvious way in which UC now blurs the line between mobility and office communications. In the PBX model, "follow me" ringing was the norm, wherein a desk phone might ring first, then fail over to a second phone when no one picked up, and then perhaps to a cell number, and then, at extra long last, to voice mail. This was as inefficient as it was frustrating for callers. However, IP-enabled simultaneous ring merely rings every line associated with the user at once, and whichever line picks up gets connected, regardless of client device type.
Schurman points to Microsoft Lync as one platform that makes ultramobile UC a particularly rich experience.
"Out-of-the-box features, like remote user access, allow Lync users to access all of these awesome features from any location outside the firewall," he says. "Also included is control of your incoming calls. If I miss a call, I receive a missed call notification via email and in Lync [via instant message], and if the caller leaves a voicemail message, I receive a notification for that, as well. Leveraging Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging, I receive an email message with the voicemail attachment and preview of the message in the message body—awesome. And unlike other UM systems out there, when I play the message or delete the message, the entire system synchronizes, so I don't have to go back to my office phone and play and/or delete the message there, which is annoying and archaic. I can even call into my Microsoft Exchange Server and retrieve email, calendar, and voicemail messages, making changes to each directly using my voice over the phone."

Entering the Steel Cage
Mixed-Martial Arts, Banned in Connecticut and New York, Wins Political Support
Connecticut lawmakers are again taking up the fight to authorize professional mixed-martial arts bouts. With a similar push under way in New York, two states that outlaw the sport are moving toward legalization.
Supporters of mixed-martial arts argue that matches would yield economic benefits, while opponents object to the violence of steel-cage fights that combine boxing, kickboxing, jujitsu and other disciplines.
Thirty Connecticut lawmakers have co-sponsored a mixed-martial arts bill, which gained approval Tuesday from the Legislature's public safety and security committee. Democrats backed a similar bill last year but it never came up for a vote.
This time, however, the measure has gained Republican sponsors, and a previous Democratic supporter, state Rep. Brendan Sharkey, presides as speaker of the House of Representatives.
"I think the time has come to stop depriving fans in Connecticut and stop denying the state the economic benefits of hosting these popular events," said Mr. Sharkey in a statement.
In New York, meanwhile, the state Senate passed a mixed-martial arts bill earlier this month, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said he would consider supporting the bill.
The measure hasn't yet come up for a vote in the Assembly, but earlier this month Speaker Sheldon Silver, a longtime opponent of the sport, said it would probably be legalized in New York at some point.
The proposal to sanction mix-martial arts fights still faces opposition from unions, due to an unrelated labor dispute in Nevada with the owners of Ultimate Fighting Championship, the sport's largest promoter.
"We don't think the big sponsors of UFC are good citizens," said Lori Pelletier, secretary-treasurer of Connecticut AFL-CIO. Labor groups also argue that the violent sport sends the wrong message to children.
Lawrence Epstein, chief operating officer of UFC, said the league employs union workers at the vast majority of its events. "This organization is not in any way, shape or form anti-organized labor," he said.
Two of the owners of UFC, brothers Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, are part of the founding family behind Station Casinos, where Frank is the chief executive and chairman and Lorenzo sits on the board. The company is one of few casino chains in Las Vegas that aren't unionized. Labor groups have tried for years to form a union, filing dozens of complaints with the National Labor Relations Board.
Lori Nelson, a spokeswoman for Station, said the company isn't opposed to unions. "We've made it really clear that the door is open for a secret-ballot election," she said.
State Sen. Andres Ayala, a Connecticut Democrat who is a co-sponsor of the bill, said a dispute in Nevada shouldn't block mixed-martial arts in Connecticut. "We should be concerned about how many more days of work we can provide to our constituents," he said.
Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport and the XL Center in Hartford would be two of the main beneficiaries if professional matches were legalized in Connecticut.
"Not allowing live presentations of the product, not only is it frustrating, as a state we are giving up much-needed tax revenue and work for hundreds of people," said Charles Dowd, vice president of operations for Harbor Yards Sports and Entertainment, which runs Webster Bank Arena.
About 300 union stagehands, concessions operators and ticket takers would be employed for each event, Mr. Dowd said.
UFC's Mr. Epstein said the league would be able to sponsor about two events each year in the state, and smaller mixed-martial arts brands would also likely host events there.
The economic benefits don't outweigh other concerns, said Melissa Mason, legislative liaison for Unite Here!, a union that represents workers in the hotel, food service and gambling industry. She also cited inappropriate comments made by UFC athletes in videos and on social-media websites.
Mr. Epstein acknowledges the offensive conduct of some UFC athletes in the past. "But compared to other sports, we've done pretty darn well versus our peers," he said. "Can we do better? Absolutely."
While some lawmakers would like to bring more jobs to state, the violence of the sport can overwhelm the economic argument, said Rep. Brenda Kupchick, a Republican who voted against the bill in committee earlier this week.
"It's sort of like gladiators of Roman times," Ms. Kupchick said.
Those characterizations don't sit well with Glover Teixeira, a 33-year-old UFC fighter from Danbury. "That upsets me because we train so hard and we dedicate so much of our lives," said Mr. Teixeira, who has been involved in the sport since 2001.
"It's legal in most of the states," he said, "so it should be legalized because it's a great sport and it's great for the community."

Applying Academic Formulae To Scripts Could Weed Out Hollywood Duds
Plenty of movie fans think Hollywood fare has become too rote.
Now, some professors at U Penn's Wharton School and NYU's Stern School present a case for making it even more formulaic.
In their paper "Green Lighting Movie Scripts: Revenue Forecasting and Risk Management" Jehoshua Eliashberg, Sam K. Hui, and John Zhang show Hollywood how it's done. Never mind the stars or directors hired— they say it's possible to predict a movie's eventual box-office success by simply applying their mathematical formula to the script.
The academics analyzed the scripts of 200 movies released between 1995 and 2006. They coded the scripts for different variables ranging from the percentage of interior scenes to whether they included a strong nemesis.
Their conclusion: the most important variables in predicting box-office performance are whether the film is in the action genre, how conflict builds, and whether the conflict is multidimensional.
They also looked at risk-adjusted return on capital, and conclude that the movies with the best returns are in what they call the family-movie genre, followed by comedy. The worst risk-adjusted returns are on horror movies, the academics say.
"Based on our interactions with industry executives, forecasting and risk management are the two capabilities that are sorely needed in the movie industry in order to transform it from an intuition and experience-based decision making into a more science-based decision making," Eliashberg, Hui, and Zhang write. "A science-based approach can pay off handsomely."
Maybe, just maybe, there's hope for a little less greenlighting of the "Prince of Persias" of the future and a little more like "Toy Story 3."

Dr. Andrew I. Spielman, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Basic Science & Craniofacial Biology, is also a lifelong historian of dentistry and medicine, a passion he inherited from his father, Dr. Jozsef Spielman, a former Professor of Sociology and of the History of Medicine at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Tirgu Mures, Romania, where Andrew was born.
In addition to his academic and administrative duties at NYUCD, Dr. Spielman teaches "The History of Medicine and Dentistry," a full semester course for NYU College of Arts and Science freshman honors students.
"Understanding the history of major medical and dental discoveries leads to a better appreciation of what we have today," he says.
While encouraging his son to cultivate a passion for the history of medicine and dentistry, Professor Jozsef Spielman also urged him to pursue a pragmatic course for his future. Dr. Spielman decided on a career in dentistry and enrolled at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Tirgu Mures, Romania, where he earned a DMD degree, magna cum laude and valedictorian, in 1974.
After completing a two-year general practice residency in Romania and practicing for a year, Dr. Spielman immigrated to Israel to pursue postdoctoral training. He earned a certificate in oral surgery from the Technion Institute of Technology School of Medicine and served for 14 months as a dental officer in the Israeli Defense Forces, where he treated frontline casualties during the 1982 war in Lebanon.
Dr. Spielman moved to Canada in 1982, earning an MS degree in oral biology and a PhD in biochemistry/oral biology (protein biochemistry) from the University of Toronto. In 1988, Dr. Spielman came to the United States to conduct postdoctoral research in neuroscience at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. He joined the NYUCD faculty in 1989.
A recipient of numerous honors and awards, including NYU's highest award for teaching excellence, the Distinguished Teaching Award, Dr. Spielman has played a central role in introducing instructional technology at the College and in establishing NYUCD's Academy of Distinguished Educators (see related story).
"Andrew is truly a Renaissance man," says Executive Vice Dean Richard I. Vogel. "His diverse interests and talents, and his absolute commitment to scholarly excellence, have enriched NYUCD's - and the University's - intellectual environment beyond measure."

Eglin Hospital treats first dialysis patient

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.
-- When retired Lt. Col. Charles Wheelahan visited Dr. Bhagwan Dass, the 96th Medical Group's nephrologist, at Eglin Hospital on the morning of Oct. 28, they both knew something was wrong. Wheelahan was lethargic and short of breath, and according to Dass, it was clear he was not himself.
After further examination and a full diagnostic work-up, Dass and his team made the decision to put Wheelahan on a dialysis treatment. The next day, Wheelan was the first patient to receive such treatment at Eglin Hospital.
The nephrology specialty service was one of the new service lines added as part of the hospital renovations completed this year. With a nephrologist on staff and a team of nurses and technicians to support, dialysis officially became a reality for hospital patients in October.
"Dialysis is needed when the kidneys fail to function properly," said Dass. "Without dialysis in the past, some of our sickest patients had to be transferred to other hospitals for care. That is no longer the case; we are now able to provide comprehensive care, to all our patients as nearly all subspecialties are now available here at Eglin."
Adding this service was no easy task. According to Maj. Janelle Robertson, element leader for subspecialties in the 96th MDG, a dialysis program requires continuity of care that cannot always be afforded at a military base, so it was important the proper team be put in place. Upon establishing the team, it took an "all-hands on deck" approach to create a convincing proposal to the Air Force to fund and ultimately bring the dialysis service to Eglin's 92,000 beneficiaries.
"Adding dialysis was the obvious next step for us," said Robertson. "We wanted to increase the acuity of patients we see and part of that is stabilizing patients with declining renal function. Having this service now allows us to take care of the sickest patients."
Dass and his team of technicians and nurses are working to educate the Eglin community on the dialysis service now being offered and its importance at the hospital.
"It is vastly important for all the services at Eglin Hospital to work together, so we can provide the best care for our patients," said Dass. "Adding dialysis to our services fit right in hand with all the other capabilities we have within the hospital walls including cardiology, pulmonology, vascular surgery and more. All of these services are needed to make Eglin Hospital a center of excellence."
Currently, the new dialysis service is only being offered to patients admitted to the hospital. This includes providing treatments to hospitalized dialysis patients even if they are not admitted for kidney-related illnesses. The 96th MDG leadership hopes to grow the service to eventually provide treatments as an outpatient service for dialysis patients who need multiple treatments each week on a recurring basis but do not need to be hospitalized.
"The framework is in place to take care of all dialysis patients - both acute and chronic," said Robertson. "The new dialysis stations are equipped and ready to go once we have the final staffing in place."
While Wheelahan had prior poor kidney function, he had never before needed dialysis. Both Wheelahan and his wife were pleased to have the dialysis treatment at Eglin Hospital.
"The treatment went so well and everyone was so wonderful," said Marie Wheelahan. "The equipment looked fantastic and we were really impressed. Dr. Dass has done a beautiful job with Charles and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided."
Wheelahan hoped to be off the dialysis treatment by the end of the week and golfing again by next month.
"My 81st birthday and my 59th wedding anniversary are both in November," he explained. "Thanks to Dr. Dass I have more reason than ever to celebrate."
Congratulations Dr Dass. A great step in serving mankind in distress.

Has anyone had any experience with a fork mounted headlight? I thought I saw some type of item that would mount to the side of the fork.
Has anyone had any experience with a fork mounted headlight? I thought I saw some type of item that would mount to the side of the fork.
I have (sorta) fork-mounted lights, but since I have remote handlebars, I just put them on top of the headset. The lower you mount them (closer to the road being lower), the more complaints you may receive about how bright they are in the eyes of on-coming cyclists when using a MUP, unless the beam pattern is well shaped.

Depending on the type of light you have, you can just use
some rubber bands. That's what I did with this light I was
Fork mounted lights are pretty nice, they really do show up potholes and rough roads better than bar mounted lights. Mounting is pretty much standard with dyno powered lights.
There are a couple different kinds of mounts for battery powered lights. One kind screws into a rack mounts (mid-fork or fork dropout). The other kind tightens to the middle of the fork; I understand you need to check this so the light doesn't slide down the fork and jam the front wheel.
http://www.spincruisers.com/~shop/mi...55/?catId=9521 If they have one. Not for carbon forks. They are no longer made.
I have a light (Supernova E3) mounted mid-fork. Does a great job of illuminating the road in front of me.
I've got one of these on the right front fork leg of my road bike (had another on left side, but the elastic strap broke). It's just a light to be seen with, not to see with.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
