Fashion-designer Rachel Roy is speaking out to deny rumors that she had an affair with Jay-Z.
Roy fueled the rumors herself after she seemed to identify herself as the other woman Beyoncé sings about on her new album Lemonade, which is believed to contain references to her rapper husband's alleged infidelity.
The track called 'Sorry' includes a reference to a mistress she calls 'Becky with the good hair'.
Beyoncé fans deduced that 'Becky' was Roy when she posted an picture to Instagram just hours after the album's release, writing: 'Good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. Live in the light #nodramaqueens.'
But in a statement to People on Tuesday, Roy says that her comments were misinterpreted.
'I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. My Instagram post was meant to be fun and lighthearted, it was misunderstood as something other than that,' the 42-year-old designer said. 'There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors.'
Roy went on to say that both she and her daughters have been the subject of online abuse in the wake of the Instagram post.
'Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother – and I know many mothers would agree – I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable.
'I would hope that the media sees the real issue here – the issue of cyber bullying – and how it should not be tolerated by anyone,' she said.
Roy also appeared to adress the Jay Z affair rumors early Sunday morning, when she tweeted: 'I respect love, marriages, families and strength. What shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind.'
Roy stepped out for the first time since the scandal on Monday, wearing sunglasses and keeping her head down as she walked into her $2million home in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.
She refused to answer Daily Mail Online's questions about whether she was 'Becky' at the time.
Roy also canceled an appearance at the last minute on Monday due to a 'personal emergency'.
The star's fans – known as the BeyHive – launched a series of scathing online attacks on the designer, trolling her social media and branding her a 'home wrecker'.
They flooded her Instagram with lemon and bee emojis – in a reference to Beyonce and the title of her new album – and also littered her 16-year-old daughter's Instagram page with negative comments.
Fans even hacked the designer's Wikipedia page to include references to Jay Z and Lemonade.
In response, Roy momentarily turned her Instagram to private but by Monday morning this was switched back on to public.
The saga comes on the back of previous rumors that Jay Z, 46, had cheated on his superstar wife and mother of his four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with Roy.
His infidelity was believed to have been behind the infamous elevator fight between Jay Z and Beyonce's sister Solange in 2014 following the Met Gala.
Roy was at the celebrity packed, invite-only Met Gala after party, held at New York's Standard Hotel, when he and Solange began to argue.
Solange looked she would 'explode' when she approached Roy at the exclusive event, sources claimed at the time.
Later security footage of Solange leaving the event with her sister and Jay Z showed her arguing with the hip hop star as they got into one of the hotel's elevators.
In the video Solange is seen yelling at her brother-in-law before lunging across the elevator kicking and punching him.
Beyoncé appears to say nothing but does not attempt to stop her sister from attacking her husband.
Reports of Jay Z's alleged affair surfaced soon after the video was released.
Roy never commented on the allegations or the elevator incident, but did post a link to her summer collection on Twitter two days after the release of the video, writing; 'The Beach is better!' which is also the title of a 2007 song by Jay Z.
Roy, who is an Indian American fashion designer based between New York and Los Angeles, embarked on her fashion career as an intern at Roc-a-Wear, which was owned by Jay Z and Damon Dash, 44.
She rose through the ranks and eventually became creative director for the brand and started dating Dash.
The couple married in 2005 and had two daughters – Ava in 1999 and Tallulah in 2008.
They divorced in 2009, and are currently embroiled in a contentious court battle after Roy was awarded sole custody of their children and granted a three-year restraining orders against Dash.

MARKS & Spencer chief executive Marc Bolland has again run the gauntlet from small shareholders despite unveiling a small rise in sales of its flagship womenswear and a recent uptake in online trading.
At the group's annual meeting the former Morrison's boss, at the helm of M&S since 2010, insisted that his £2.3 billion of investment was starting to pay off despite settling-in problems with its new website.
But one private shareholder told a packed investor meeting in London: "This must be the slowest turnaround of a ship in history."
Loading article content
Regular AGM attendee John Farmer told the board: "Let us see some improvement, rather than recurrent excuses."
Mr Bolland's re-election was backed by 96 per cent of shareholders, but chairman Robert Swannell said: "We know we have to do more. We now have to deliver on the investment we've made."
Earlier M&S had unveiled a 12th successive sales fall in its general merchandise division, which includes its all-important womenswear offering, by a worse than expected 1.5 per cent.
Mr Bolland blamed the latest decline on a sales fall of 8.1 per cent on the group's relaunched £150 million website, but warned that turnover on the site would not recover until Christmas, which one analyst labelled a fiasco.
Like-for-like clothing sales were down 0.6 per cent, though overall sales were up 0.1 per cent.
The much-scrutinised womenswear was said to be slightly higher with no figure given.
Mr Bolland said: "We're actually very pleased.
"Even at a higher level of full price and a lower level of promotional [activity] we've been able to grow at womenswear and in clothing. We believe that step-by-step we are on the right track."
M&S's food business, which contributes more than half of group sales but less profit, is performing much better and delivered a 19th consecutive quarter of growth. Mr Bolland added "It is not an issue with the website.
"The conversion was expected to be lower because we brought a lot more content, but it is now a lot more inspiring. It's a journey and I'm pleased with the journey."
But analyst Neil Saunders at London-based retail research agency, Conlumino, called the figures "highly disappointing, especially since this part of the market is witnessing growth in double digits".
Clive Black, retail analyst at Shore Capital, said it had all the makings of a dotcom fiasco. He added: "It will still take a considerable amount of time for M&S to demonstrate that it can break the mould, grow its non-food offer, maintain market share and build earnings."
Mr Bolland is trying to address a legacy of under-investment, overseeing the redesign of products and stores and an overhaul of logistics to serve the new website.
However, a new clothing team he set up in 2012 has failed to deliver a sustained increase in sales and M&S profits were overtaken last year by those at rival Next.
The new website, launched in February, is a pillar of the intended transformation of the 130-year-old business into an international retailer reaching customers through stores, the internet, tablets and mobile devices.
M&S has 24 stores in Scotland and another 22 Simply Food outlets. Mr Bolland last week announced a shuffling of executive responsibilities, putting online boss Laura Wade-Gery in charge of UK retail, a move which sparked speculation the firm was putting succession in place.
Keith Bowman, equity analyst at brokers Hargreaves Lansdown, commented: "Against a backdrop of low expectation, M&S appears to have offered some hope.
"An increased focus on profit margin generates potential longer term optimism."
Shares closed down 5.8p, or 1.34 per cent, at 427.4p.

Matteo Renzi has been sworn in as Italy's youngest prime minister at the Presidential Palace in Rome, at the swearing-in of Italy's 65th government since World War II.
Centre-left Mr Renzi promised yesterday to start work on reforms immediately, after he named a new cabinet and formally accepted the mandate to form an administration, he said would stay in place until 2018.
At 39, he will be Italy's youngest prime minister and heads a cabinet made up mainly of ministers in their 40s and 50s, half of them women, continuing the rejuvenation of the elderly caste which used to run Italian politics.
He confirmed that OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) Chief Economist Pier Carlo Padoan, who was forced to hurry back from Australia, would take over at the economy ministry where he will play a central role in Mr Renzi's bid to revitalise Italy's stagnant economy.
But there were few other big names in a 16-member cabinet, dominated by relatively low-profile politicians with a sprinkling of non-political officials.
With a cabinet boasting no star names, the success or failure of the government will be down to the ambitious Mr Renzi, who forced out party rival Enrico Letta last week, following a stream of criticism over the slow pace of economic reforms.

Video: Obama watches First Four in Dayton
USF and Cal will have considerably less attention on them Wednesday night here at University of Dayton Arena, if only because President Obama won't be in attendance, as he is for tonight's Western Kentucky-Mississippi Valley State game, along with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Obama is seated in the front row at one baseline, with Secret Service agents flanked along the aisles on both sides. He arrived at the arena just before tipoff, with Interstate 75 closed southbound to clear a path to the arena after Air Force One arrived at nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Here's a short video showing Obama and Cameron talking during the first half.

It seems the only limit to new competitive events is the human imagination. The surreal sport of precision walking begins this week's Wacky video.
But why stop to contemplate just highly stylized walking when there's room in a video camera's memory card for coordinated demonstrations of cheerleading and martial arts? All these were performed by students at Nippon Sports Science University last fall. The university also produces many Japanese Olympians, sumo wrestlers, and — completely unrelated, we're sure — politicians. Click below or go to the original YouTube video.

The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) chapter of the
National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) was
busy during the month of May promoting better hearing and speech.
Several graduate students participated in hearing screenings at
the UNO Child Care Center. This collaborative project is in its
second year; the children enjoy visiting with the students while
the members of NSSLHA have an opportunity to put their skills
into practice. Chapter officers delivered specially designed BHSM
candy to the offices of each college dean and various other
campus offices, along with material promoting hearing health. In
addition, two class projects were specifically designed to
promote knowledge of the profession among students. Undergraduate
students in the language development course created projects to
describe the words language or communication. Each year, this is
a favorite among students and faculty. These creative projects
are displayed throughout campus. Students also had the
opportunity to develop timelines highlighting the major
developments in speech-language pathology.
To wrap up BHSM, a few of UNO's NSSLHA members traveled
around the Omaha area to lower income child care facilities and
provided them with free informational resources, focusing on
language development. All of the child care centers were
appreciative of this gesture and informed us that many parents
and caregivers are in need of this information. They were
especially grateful that the flyers were in a bilingual

The Bates Asia Group is in the process of creating an alliance with marketing services company Sercon. With this move, 141 Worldwide and Sercon have consolidated their business to form 141 Sercon. The new entity would focus on addressing clients' needs in the area of below the line.
Vijay Singh, MD, Sercon, would be leading the operations of the merged entity along with Subhash Kamath, CEO of Bates Enterprise.
Jeffrey Yu, President, Bates Asia, said, "Marketing services is a key focus area for the Bates Asia group and we are totally committed to building the 141 brands across the region. India is a critical market for us and will be one of pour super hubs. Bringing Sercon into the family will jump start our plans to make 141 one of the most powerful marketing services brands in this country. Of course, this is subject to obtaining necessary government and other regulatory approvals."
Commenting on the merger, Singh said, "While both agencies had been experiencing high growth rates for the past few years, the synergistic entity, post merger, will ensure that the best global marketing practices and tools are supported by robust execution abilities on ground across Asia. 141 Sercon will be the 'glocal' agency of choice for brand managers."

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
The CCC was established in 1933 as a federal work project during the Great Depression, employing young men in conservation work on federal and state lands. The program provided gainful employment and education to the enrollees from all over the country while also providing much-needed work on public lands throughout the nation. In Great Smoky Mountains National Park, as many as 4,000 enrollees were assigned to 22 CCC camps at various times from 1933-1942, building roads, trails, fire towers, and structures. The legacy of the CCC is enormous, and the work of these young men remains clearly evident today.

(AP) Rescued kidnapped teen to speak on 'Today' show
Kidnapping survivor Hannah Anderson says her family's friend-turned-captor handcuffed her and tried to make her play a game of Russian roulette until she started "freaking out."
James Lee DiMaggio used zip ties to bind her feet and then told her that he was going to take her to Idaho to help him settle there before releasing her, according to the San Diego-area teen, who described her ordeal two months after she was rescued by FBI agents and returned safely to California.
DiMaggio assured her at the time that her mother, Christina Anderson, and 8-year-old brother, Ethan, were alive. He then forced her to play Russian roulette on his couch, Anderson said.
DiMaggio, 40, was killed by FBI agents in the Idaho wilderness Aug. 10, one week after he allegedly abducted the 16-year-old and killed Christina and Ethan Anderson at his home in Boulevard, 65 miles east of San Diego.
Authorities have said DiMaggio set fire to his home with a timer, giving him a 20-hour head start.
The remains of Anderson's 44-year-old mother and brother were later found inside the burned home. Investigators said they couldn't determine how Ethan died due to extensive burns and tissue loss. They said gunshot wounds, asphyxiation or burns from the house fire were all possibilities. The mother is believed to have been bludgeoned to death.
When Anderson thinks of her captor she feels "just mostly sick and angry" and said he got what he deserves.
The teen's disappearance triggered a massive search spanning much of the western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico.
The Amber Alert helped her be found, she said, and has "helped me keep going through healing and stuff, knowing that people were looking for me and that they're on my side."
Her father, Brett Anderson sat with his daughter during the interview.

Ukraine to Ban Wheat Exports from mid-November
Ukraine will begin restricting wheat exports from 15 November onward, the country's agriculture minister announced today. The news comes as the country - one of the world's largest wheat exporters - attempts to deal with the fall-out of a poor harvest and rising prices for staples.
"There will be a full ban from Nov. 15. There will be a government order about this. We are not playing games here. We do not have any other option," Farm Minister Mykola Prysyazhnyuk told Reuters earlier today.
Both Russia - another major exporter - and Ukraine have restricted exports of wheat in the past, with their 2010-2011 limits prompting vociferous criticism from their trading partners. Both countries scrapped these policies in June of last year. (See Bridges Weekly, 1 June 2011)
Unlike Kiev, however, Moscow is not yet expected to impose any new export restrictions on grains of its own, according to recent comments by President Vladimir Putin.
Prices for contracts to purchase wheat in December have risen slightly - but not dramatically - since the news broke last week that Kiev was considering limiting its exports of the staple. Back in 2010 when Russia announced its own restrictions, prices surged to a 23-month high as a result. (See Bridges Weekly, 29 September 2010)
Export restrictions in periods of high prices or poor harvests have been blamed for exacerbating hunger for the most vulnerable. Food riots followed such measures in the past and, some analysts say, may have contributed to the 'Arab Spring' uprisings. Delegates at the WTO circulated two separate proposals to address export restrictions last year ahead of the WTO's December ministerial conference, only for both proposals to ultimately be dropped. (See Bridges Weekly, 7 December 2011)
Not yet a repeat of 2008 food price crisis, experts say
Ukraine has "very large" stocks, according to Abdolreza Abbassian of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and could "easily" export six to seven million tonnes. The FAO official chalked up the ban on exports to domestic politics and an upcoming election.
The fundamentals of the wheat situation, in Abbassian's view, do not suggest a repeat of "what happened a few years ago." While stocks, he explained, are very low globally, production both in some importing countries and others, such as France, has improved. This could lead Europe to export more than anticipated and for others to perhaps import less if their domestic production has increased.
However, prospects for agricultural production elsewhere are looking grim. Australia's harvest is likely to be down by 28 percent when compared with last year, and a key wheat producing region in Russia is facing a drought. Abbassian observed, though, that the Australian comparison was with a record year for the country. Such news, when taken in isolation, could be "horrifying," but when the numbers are added up there was less reason for immediate concern, he said.
Food importing countries worried
"We want Ukraine to do what Russia is doing," said a trade official for a wheat importing country, referring to a news report describing Moscow's current hands off-stance in allowing domestic prices to rise, in turn making wheat exports uncompetitive on global markets. However, reports from the Russian capital have at times been conflicting, with Andrei Belousov - Russia's economic development minister - apparently contradicting Putin's position by suggesting last month that the country may indeed apply limits on exports in the future.
Another trade delegate worried that their country did not have the "money for higher prices." Food price inflation and an uptick in prices may drive the most vulnerable, often net purchasers of food, to hunger, warned the FAO's State of Food Insecurity report for this year. Abbassian noted that many countries will have to find a way to pay for higher prices for food, meaning that they may have to cut other support that they provide to their citizens, such as subsidies for energy.
Several developing country trade officials told Bridges that countries should have a right to restrict exports in the case of a shortage of critical foodstuffs. However, they observed, such restrictions do affect others and should be taken with caution and consultation. The WTO's Agreement on Agriculture governing the issue stipulates as much.
WTO rules require that countries imposing export restrictions notify other members, with an exception for developing countries that are not major exporters. One major wheat importer told Bridges that consultations with Ukraine have not yet taken place.
Although Ukraine has submitted notifications to the WTO in the past on measures restricting exports, sources told Bridges that an announcement for the new measure has not yet been circulated to members.

"And now, we have his motive. Money." – observantone18
You can construct a potential motive out of about anything. But when is the state going to provide proof he did it?
observantone18 May 15, 2013
Today, in testimony, heard that Raven Abaroa had purchased a $500K Life Insurance policy on his wife Janet. He submitted a claim but the claim has not been paid out since he was a POI, then a suspect, then arrested.
And now, we have his motive. Money.
Raven Abaroa, convicted felony embezzler, serial adulterer, known liar, unable to get a job (hard to do that with a felony conviction for embezzlement) had a motive.
Kill his wife, who he didn't seem to respect anyways, as demonstrated by his treatment of her and his multiple affairs. Kill her, and collect her life insurance. $500K would buy a lot of toys. $500K would set Raven up quite well for a long time. Motive is money.
Set up the crime perfectly, get away with it, and collect $500K.
observantone18 May 15, 2013
@ripetomatoes: with all respect, based upon sworn witness testimony, Raven Abaroa is much more than just a "mean man"
Raven Abaroa has been shown to be:
a convicted felon (felony embezzlement)
a known adulterer (many, many affairs during his marriage)
a known liar (so many stories and lies, nothing matches)
a poor man with rich tastes - making $30K per year but huge bills due to his outrageous spending
a convicted felon will have a hard time finding a new job
Raven collected Knives Raven's wife, Janet Abaroa was murdered by a Knife Per testimony, Raven was asking around before the murder about the cost of a $500K life insurance policy for his wife Raven was controlling Raven was devious Raven was manipulative - using charm to get his way Per LE testimony today, crime scene was undisturbed - meaning no signs of a struggle or fight. Meaning the victim was murdered by someone she knew sneaking up behind her.
So it is more than Raven being a mean man. He is much worse than that.
Obamacare survives May 15, 2013
"Some witnesses said he's a mean man."
"Is that enough to convict?"
He's a sociopath.....I'd be willing to bet my $360 million winnning Powerball ticket that he's guilty.
ripetomatoes May 15, 2013
Some witnesses said he's a mean man.
Is that enough to convict?
observantone18 May 15, 2013
The prosecution had witnesses testify very early as to the extreme financial difficulties faced by Raven Abaroa, so extensive that he stole from his company, Eurosports. Raven was charged and convicted of felony embezzlement.
The prosecution also had ample testimony of Raven Abaroa's multiple affairs while he was married to the victim. He was married but didn't want to be, but thought it might look bad to get divorced.
So IMO, the motive was there - extreme financial distress, the affairs, the controlling and abusive treatment of his wife = Motive. Means = testimony that victim was stabbed, and Raven Abaroa collected Knives. Opportunity = testimony stating the lack of disturbance at the crime scene. Baby in bed in the other room. Victim was a strong, physically fit young woman. If she thought someone was going to kill her, she would have fought back. Raven snuck up on her from behind and killed her.
Raven had all three: means, motive and opportunity.

With the divorce rate so high, what American Dream or you speaking of. Married soon to be 35 years and PROUD OF IT! Oh,and with the same man all these years. WOO WHO...

Why don't people who are married just get a divorce and stay away from each other. Those who are single should depart and stay away from each. Who wants to spend their life bickering each and every second of the day? That certainly is not happiness.
I thought it was all about achieving the American Dream and keeping up with the Jones's.....a popular trend in Raleigh.

still no hard evidence that he did it.

There is still, after 60 witnesses, no specific evidence proving the husband did it. I smell a hung jury at best.

Please clear up this headline. If the detective, Charles Sole, is being questioned by "her husband's attorneys," then "she" was married to him at some point. Help me out here.

Paul Pelot did the "fa", although I've been told it used to be a free solo route prior to that ascent. Can't attest to the accuracy of that though.
Also, this line used to have a seperate finish between yardarm and no alt. Don't remember if it had a bolt though.

There is indeed still a bolt on the correct second pitch and the bolt can be seen above some small overlaps from the flake shared with Yardarm. The second pitch goes slightly right off of the belay flake and stays to the left of No Alternative. There is another double bolted belay at the top of the second pitch, then no protection the rest of the way. Not that it is really needed. You can finish by heading straight up to the belay rings at the top, to the left of the tree island.
This route seems to get a bad rap for being run-out but it really isn't that bad. This is actually a really fun route. The bolts are right where you need them.

London close: Dull end to volatile week

UK stocks reacted positively to better than expected US jobs data, with the Footsie recovering from a negative position to a positive one, but as the day drew to a close, traders quietly banked profits ahead of the week-end.
Though the Footsie ended the day with only a modest rise, it capped a strong week which saw the blue-chip index add 175 points, largely on the back of a rebound by miners.
US non-farm payrolls rose by 103,000 in the month of September, versus a consensus forecast of a rise of 55,000.
On this side of the pond the UK producer price index for the month of September rose at a 0.3% on month (6.3% on year) pace, according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics. Market consensus has been expecting a rise of 6.2%.
The banks were the worst performers after Moody's issued a downbeat report on the UK financial sector. Lloyds TSB, Santander UK and the Co-Operative Bank were downgraded one notch, while Nationwide and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) went down two levels.
The reasoning for the downgrade was that Moody's wanted to reflect the ending of the UK government's implicit guarantee for all banks. It makes clear in its statement that the downgrade is not a comment on the stability of the British banking system as a whole.
Unsurprisingly, Lloyds and RBS were the heavy fallers. The latter issued a statement saying that it has made "significant progress" in strengthening its credit profile since 2008, when it received a £45bn bail-out from the UK government, leaving the firm 83%-owned by the state. As of 30 June, the core tier one capital ratio stood at 11.1%.
"We are disappointed that Moody's have not acknowledged the progress we have made in strengthening the bank's credit profile," RBS said.
However, an article this morning by the Financial Times, speculated that the firm may have to receive more aid after its core tier one capital ratio factors in the banks' exposure to the escalating debt crisis in Europe. [RBSs] sovereign exposure is not fundamentally worrying but if there is a broader European drive to recapitalise the banks its conceivable they may need more government money, a government official told the paper.
Barclays was in the red in sympathy.
Premier Foods, the FTSE 250 food manufacturer which has been struggling with rising raw material costs, has admitted that its third quarter results are "significantly below our expectations". Shares dropped over 40% after the group warned that full-year trading profits will be below market expectations.
Finnish nickel and zinc miner Talvivaara Mining lost almost 20% of its market value after chief executive Pekka Pera served notice to quit, as the company goes into cash conservation mode. The company said that, in view of the current volatility and uncertainty in the commodity and financial markets, it has developed a revised operating plan and made the strategic decision to focus on maximising profitability of operations rather than the production volume over the remainder of 2011.
Economic data was deemed beneficial to oil prices, with the most commonly traded futures contracts for Brent crude and West Texas sweet light crude both climbing 25 cents a barrel, the former to $105.98 and the latter to $82.40.
Investors were less keen on government debt, as they piled back in to equities. The benchmark 10-year gilt saw its yield rise almost 8 basis points (i.e. 7/100 of a percentage point) to 2.47%. Yields move inversely to prices.

im gonna be a teen mom im 16,
and i was just wondering what other teen moms did to stay in school?
-Stay in highschool throughout all pregnancy.
-Transfer to an excelerated school
-Just drop out
-Or another resort?
im planning on going to an excelerated school & graduating earlybut i also wanna go back to my school for senior year but dont know if thatll be agood option?
but i just wanted to see what other people did & hopefully get ideas .
Thank you.
Whatever you do , don't drop out .
You could atleast try regular highschool and see if you can handle it or not.
Honestly If I had gotten pregnant a year early I would have done independent study .
I had transfered to a charter (accelerated pace) school the day before I found out I was pregnant (ironically), went there until Hayden was about 2 months old, and now I go to the same charter school in a different city, with my boyfriend.
I considered going back for senior year as well, but changed my mind because I'll be graduating 1/2 a year early staying at the charter school.
Quoting Jenn (::
I went to school. I let my teachers know that I was pregnant and they tried to work with me. Some gave me work ahead of time others stayed late to help. If I had doctors appts they were great with that. They let me leave class early to miss the rush of kids. Just talk to your school. they do help.
i went to an accelerated school and got kicked out (not saying that was a good thing) but im just doing my school online until i finish.
Quoting robinjane:
I left my trade school and went to a school for teen moms. It has free, on campus day care and maternity leave.
dropping out was neveerr an option but i think i am gonna juststick to excelerated school and graduate early thanks ladys :)
I started going to an alternative school way before I got pregnant, but that was my choice. It's a small school with 6 teachers and only100 students or so, so everyone already knew me there when I told them I was pregnant. I went to school the whole year up until my due date [which was very end of april].I was 16 when I found out, and 17 when I had him. They were so helpful to me and still are. They work with me a lot now by allowing me to go twice a week and do the rest at home. Not everyone is as lucky as me though. My school doesn't give homework, so that definitely made things easier. You could always look in to that. Whatever you do though, DO NOT drop out!! And if you want to stay at your school now, then do it.But find some way to finish.
Quoting Jenn (::
Stay in school while being pregnant. Whatever you do don't drop out.

"job creator" means "labor exploiter"
PEN-Ler Jim Devine, also teaches Marxs Capital. He added that one of the main points of CAPITAL is that despite the absence of the direct application of force . . .the nature of capitalism as a society means that workers are exploited despite their freedom. As Marx wrote, the laborer purchases the right to work for his own livelihood only by paying for it in surplus labor (Devine 2012).
Dr. Devine insisted that I directly confront the notion of job creators. Tell them, he said, Yes, Virginia, capitalists _are_ job creators. But because of the way that capitalism is set up (with a small minority owning the means of production and the rest not), only they can afford to create jobs and they only create jobs when they feel property remunerated (i.e., receiving a significantly positive rate of profit). Worse, the way that the system means that only the small minority call them the 1% can be job creators. Individual workers can almost never afford to become self-employed while the vast majority of those who do find themselves out of business very quickly. Workers cooperatives are even harder to set up, partly because banks refuse to lend to them.
The capitalists also work very hard in the political arena to prevent the government from creating jobs unless its for military purposes or something else that doesnt compete with business.
Eight of the top ten fastest growing occupations (numerically) 2010-2020 require no college education. These include retails sales (#2), home health aides (#3) and fast food workers like McDonalds (#6 at 398,000). Workers are compelled to leave the Bill of Rights at the door of the workplace as they enter it. There is little or no free speech, right to assembly, right to privacy, right to petition for the redress of grievances (given the virtual collapse of unions). Thats why we must send more students to college, to: 1) learn the secrets of this barbarian culture, 2) learn how they are immersed in history and 3) learn how to fight this oppression.
A central point is that there is no real democracy at the job, where it is most important. Capitalism requires a relentless search for cheap labor, raw materials and markets. War is often the result.

2. We have to stop thinking of this as normal or preferable
That's why I'm grateful for OWS. They put that whole concept of the 1% and the 99% into something we understand. Once you understand a very complex issue in such a way that a few words can describe it you have power.

3. I've been calling them "wealth siphoners".
Because that's what they do - they rob us of our pensions, our retirement plans, our pay, and everything we own. Vulture capitalism at its' finest. It's an old way of doing things and it has to go for us to survive.

This year marks the 28th annual Holiday Home Tour, which has raised an annual average of $40,000 for women's services at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.
"This is a nice organization to join for someone who wants to help their community hospital," said Holiday Home Tour League Co-president Julia Hicken. "You can participate without having to give up too much of your time, yet it's really fun for those who like the holidays and fundraising."
To launch their volunteer recruitment efforts, the Holiday Home Tour League is holding a fashion show and luncheon at Newhall's Hart Park (in Hart Hall) on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
The event, sponsored by the Bank of Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation, will feature fashions from Vintage Wrapsody Productions of Goodwill Southern California and is being chaired by Becki Basham, vice-president and membership chair of the Home Tour League.
With the theme of "A History of Fashion," the afternoon includes men's and women's clothing from the 1880s through 1990s, as well as a catered lunch.
"There are many reasons why people enjoy being a part of the Home Tour League. There is the social aspect of it, or if you like planning, an opportunity to be on the board and take a leadership role," said Tour League Co-president June Poulin. "However, I would say that the ability to touch other lives and maybe even save a life by means of providing funds is the ultimate payoff."
Fashion show admission is $25 per person. For more information contact the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Health Foundation at (661) 253-8082 or visit www.henrymayo.com.

Understanding the Power of Toilets in Rural Angola
I recently returned from a trip to visit rural villages in Angola to look at the impact that Unicef's sanitation partnership with Andrex is having on children and families there. It's incredible to think that seven out of ten people living in rural Angola do not have a clean, safe toilet to use. This has a huge impact on the health of Angola's children and one of the reasons the country has the highest rate of child mortality in the world.

Read by millions of people of all ages since it was first published in 1947, Anne Frank's diary is famous all around the world.
The Jewish girl, who died in a concentration camp at age 15, kept a diary from 1942 to 1944, mostly while she and her family were in hiding from the Nazis in a secret annex. In a life full of anxiety and fear, her diary was a friend to whom she could confide her innermost thoughts and feelings.
To pass down her message of peace to the next century, the last Anne Frank exhibition of the 20th century will be held at Yokohama Takashimaya gallery, April 26-May 8, and then tour major cities throughout Japan.
Unlike past Anne Frank exhibitions, whose exhibits were very limited, this one will feature approximately 300 articles related to Anne and her family lent by relatives, Anne Frank Stichting, Amsterdam and Anne Frank Fonds, Basel.
The exhibit includes many rare items that have never been shown to the public, including tableware and furniture passed down in the Frank family for generations, toys Anne and her sister Margot played with, her father Otto's camera and typewriter and the postcard the family wrote to Otto's sister just before going into hiding.
The most precious item of all is Anne's history notebook, which is mentioned in her diary and was recently discovered among Otto's belongings.
Born in Frankfurt in 1929, Anne Frank was the second daughter of Otto and his wife Edith. In 1933 Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and soon the first anti-Jewish measures were taken. The Frank family left Germany and emigrated to Holland the following year, but persecution of the Jews began as soon as the country was occupied by the German Army in 1940.
A few weeks after Anne was given a diary for her 13th birthday, the Frank family went into hiding in an empty storage area at the back of Otto's office building. The family lived there for two years until they were discovered by the Nazis on Aug. 4, 1944.
All the inhabitants of the hiding place were arrested and sent to concentration camps. Otto was freed from Auschwitz in January 1945, but no other family members survived the war. Anne died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen in March 1945, two months before Germany surrendered.
Since Anne's diary was first published, it has been translated into many languages and read all around the world. Many documentary programs, films and stage productions have also been made based on the diary.
Otto remarried in 1952 to Fritzi Geiringer, another Holocaust survivor who had lived near the Frank family in Amsterdam, and whose daughter Eva was a friend of Anne's. The exhibition details many of Eva's experiences later in life and how they rebuilt their lives together as a family.

First Book offices were a flurry recently when surprise visitor Kim Coco Iwamoto of the Hawaii Board of Education dropped in on First Book's DC headquarters to pay a visit to the staff members behind the books.
There's quite a First Book buzz on the Islands these days. Hawaiians amazed everyone as they sped past other state hopefuls to become this year's winners of our annual What Book Got You Hooked? contest. The prize? A distribution of 50,000 books. We're encouraging programs that serve predominantly children in need to register with First Book to find out when this special distribution will take place and connect permanently with First Book resources to help get books for the kids they serve.
Special thanks to First Book Advisory Board members on the ground who will be helping to distribute books to the excited recipients on each of the Hawaii state islands in the coming months!
As a member of the Hawaii Board of Education, Kim Coco is as excited as anyone about the upcoming distribution. She came in and chatted with us about the all the enthusiasm from elementary schools to libraries and after school programs—everyone seems to be bursting with glee over this great win. As Recipient Group Coordinators, Matthew White and I have the pleasure of working one-on-one with potential recipients of books from First Book. We were able to tell Ms. Iwamoto all about the phone calls and emails that have been coming in from the endearing people in Hawaii and in turn, she expressed just what kind of an impact a distribution like this will have.
Ms. Iwamoto left us feeling inspired and thrilled to be working with such positive and energetic Hawaiians on an issue as integral and important as education. It's always great to meet Recipient Groups and supporters. You are always welcome at First Book!

Luke Bryan Sets All-Time Record for a Single Day Country Concert
Luke Bryan is known for making records, but lately he's been setting a few of them, too! On Sunday (Aug. 10), the 'Roller Coaster' singer set the all-time record for a single day country concert. Like, ever.
With over 60,000 fans in attendance at Boston's Gillette Stadium for his That's My Kind of Night Tour, Bryan gave a rowdy performance with opener, Cole Swindell and Lee Brice. And the night got even better (as if that was possible) with the appearance of very special guest Dierks Bentley. It was a night for the record books … in more ways than one.
Of course, this most recent record isn't the only one Bryan has set in 2014. In June, he made history for the first time by setting the all-time record for tickets sold for a country concert with more than 50,000 fans in attendance.
The hip-shakin' star will continue the That's My Kind of Night Tour through October, with more 20 more cities on the list, including New York City, where he'll be the first country act to ever perform at Brooklyn's Barclay's Center on Sept. 14.
Who knows what other records Bryan might set before this touring season ends!

Corporate Minds
You Sell, I Sell, We All Sell
"Sales." "Selling." They're harmless words guaranteed to induce a nails-on-chalkboard cringe from just about anyone who isn't involved in sales.
Rose Cammarata, CPA, CGMA
VP & Controller, Mattersight
Top Issues Confronting Corporate Finance Leaders
Whether it's because we've had a bad experience with a pushy salesperson or we were forced to sell band candy as kids, the thought of having to sell anything quickly brings on a bout of anxiety.
And yet, selling is an instinctual and fundamental skill. So instinctual and fundamental, in fact, that we first began to use it in kindergarten when we convinced Lucy to share her Legos.
In his book, To Sell Is Human, Daniel Pink reveals that 1-in-9 Americans works in sales, while the rest depend on "non-sales selling" to earn a living—corporate finance types included.
Kindergarten may be far behind us, but the ability to sell is no less critical as adults when it comes to getting things done. Whether we're trying to motivate a team, train new staff, get resources for a project or earn a promotion, we have to be able to convince, persuade and move people. As Pink says, we're all in sales now.
So how do we get better at it—without feeling as much of the angst that goes right along with it?
Pink highlights three essential requirements: Attunement, buoyancy and clarity.
Pink describes attunement as the ability to bring your actions and outlook in harmony with other people and your current context. Pink's point is that understanding what others think (what he calls "perspective-taking") is much more effective than understanding what they feel when it comes to moving people. It's the idea of "using your head and not just your heart." He notes that although virtuous and important in creating long-lasting relationships, empathy can work against you when selling because it can cause you to give up too much in order to "close the sale." According to research he cites, we tend to be happier with the results if we focus on perspective-taking rather than empathy. Essentially, you need to ask questions that help you find common ground, while making sure you listen more than you talk.
As Pink points out, there's also a physical aspect to attunement, namely mimicry. I admit that I thought this a bit strange at first. After all, isn't mimicry the same thing as faking it? But then I spent time observing conversations, and realized that "mirroring" is something we do unconsciously when we are genuinely interested in what the other person is saying. If someone you respect leans in to tell you something, you instinctually lean in too.
Essentially, mimicry signals trust—and trust, in my opinion, is the most essential ingredient in achieving attunement.
What Pink calls buoyancy, I prefer to call grit. One of my favorite quotes is from Michael Jordan: "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
That's grit. Regardless of how many times you fail in moving others, you have to be willing to try again. It all comes down to "self-talk," of which, Pink says, there are three stages: Before, during and after the "sale."
Before the sale, ask yourself, "Can I do this?" Although positive self-talk ("I'm awesome") is more effective than negative self-talk ("I suck"), interrogative self-talk is the most effective of all. The impact is twofold—asking yourself if you can do it will prompt you to strategize for success, and interrogating yourself may clarify the intrinsic motivations behind your desire to succeed (which in turn may have an inspirational effect).
During the sale, keep your self-talk positive, which will inspire positive emotions. Be genuine, but also be mindful that too much negativity can undermine your efforts to move others towards your cause.
After the sale or lack thereof, explain negative outcomes to yourself in terms of temporary, specific and external, rather than permanent, pervasive and personal.
Clarity, Pink explains, is the capacity to help others see their situations in fresh and more revealing ways. He suggests finding and conveying the 1 percent; in other words, the essence of the issue that drives the other 99 percent.
Framing an issue can bring clarity, and one way to do that is to introduce contrasting alternatives to highlight the virtues of what you are proposing. There are many other ways to frame an issue and I highly recommend Pink's book for more on the topic.
Pink also describes clarity as the capacity to identify problems others didn't realize existed. The two key skills in this are the ability to curate data to find the most relevant information and the ability to ask questions to uncover underlying issues and opportunities.
Moving—or selling—others is a fundamental and valuable skill whether or not your job is in sales. The requirements for successful selling—attunement, buoyancy and clarity—are qualities we all have the ability to develop.

My affinity for woven anything remains strong after all these years and anything in the cross-stitch persuasion stands as a must-cop. Today, a quickstrike release of the Lunar Woven Flow – seen here in Anthracite/Black-Bamboo and Medium Olive/Black-Bamboo – finally makes its stateside debut after an earlier international release. Part-woven, part-suede upper and all parts distinctive, the Woven Flow sits on a Lunarlon sole for support and cushioning making it a welcome addition to the arsenal.
Available today at Extra Butter and a handful of other NSW accounts.

Darrell Cook is an a pianist and organist that has been playing gospel, jazz, and neo-soul keys for over 15 years.
Groomed to play at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Erie Pa, Darrell learned quickly to thrive in the demanding environment on urban church musicianship. His first assignment was to manage four choirs, a five piece band, and praise team. This experience forced him to learn all of the styles and approaches necessary in a urban church context.
Throughout the years he has shared the stage with CeCe Winans, JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise, The Chautauqua Youth Mass Choir and several others.
After years of playing and traveling Darrell decided to begin to teach what he knows to upcoming musicians. His vision to train others was realized with the website Sonsofthunderpro.com which he started in 2009. Since that time he has trained thousands of musicians online.
Darrell is also a gifted preacher and Pastors the Christ Community Church. He is happily married to his wife of seven years Shavonne Cook. The two continue to grow in ministry and in love.

If you believe that depression always has a spiritual cause and can only be treated by spiritual means, then you will not like this book. But you are probably one of the people who could best benefit from this book. Matt Rogers' Losing God: Clinging to Faith Through Doubt and Depression (IVP, 2008) is a first-person testimony of a four-year journey through doubt and depression.
At the center of Matt's depression is a personal struggle to the love the sovereign God described in Romans 9. He writes:
"Fear burned in me again as I stood in the bookstore. What little confidence I had awakened to that morning drained away, and all the questions came back. Am I hardened against Christ? Has God himself hardened me that he might show his wrath in me? Does this mean there is no hope for me, that God truly does not love me?" (44)
Matt questions at times, but ultimately upholds a strong view of God's sovereignty. He maintains a healthy tension between human free will and God's sovereign choice. And he quotes Tozer, appealing to mystery over certainty as to how these two work together.
But Matt's story gives us a glimpse of what can happen when an overemphasis on God as the Just Judge leads to incessant introspection. Give a Puritan book to someone with a propensity toward depression, and you might unintentionally lead them to paralyzing introspection that robs them of joyful service. Too much self-examination can be dangerous (not to mention self-centered), and Matt's story is a testimony to the fact that introspection can sometimes heighten depressive tendencies.
Losing God is a powerful story. Do not expect an abbreviated tale of superficial suffering and quick deliverance. In fact, three-fourths of the book go by without almost any sign of hope. Yet Losing God does deliver hope – and that hope is found within the context of the body of Christ.
Matt's testimony is helpful because it shines light on both what is good and what is bad in much of evangelicalism today. Consider his portrayal of the church:
"One Sunday was particularly bitter. My mind had been seething all morning, and the music minister was bouncing up and down and grinning from ear to ear at the song in his heart as he led the church through hymn after hymn. I stood mumbling the lyrics and thinking, If this guy gets any happier, he's going to float out the back door." (104)
Matt admits that at times he could hardly stand the "cheerful songs of Christian bliss that were salt in my open wounds" (75). This statement should lead us to ask some questions about the typical, upbeat worship music in most churches today.
Is there any room for lament? For questioning? For silence? Why is that so many songs out of God's hymnbook (the Psalms) would seem out of place in our worship?
Yet despite the failings of the church, Matt ultimately finds mentoring, relationships, companionship, strength, and encouragement in the body of Christ. It is in the church that Matt finds deliverance. It is in the church that he finds the Jesus he truly loves.
Losing God never turns to medicine as the primary answer for depression. Matt came out of his four-year period of darkness without medication, yet he believes there are more than just spiritual causes of depression. A vicious cycle takes place - spiritual causes can lead to a depressive state, and a depressive mental state can accentuate spiritual problems.
In the end, Matt recognizes that there are complex issues involved in depression. Simplistic answers and solutions do not fit every case. For those of us who have never struggled with severe doubt or depression, Matt's book helps us understand those who do.
At the end of the book, Matt offers hope to those struggling with depression and doubt. He gives steps toward healing and encourages people to find community. What I love most about Losing God is that Matt's story is not about someone who finds deliverance through willpower, medicine, or black-and-white theological answers. It's the story of a man who finds grace within the family of God.

The former Indiana freshman center has decided to transfer to Marquette. That is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fischer was a Wisconsin Mr. Basketball from Germantown after leading his school to consecutive state titles and a 56-0 record.
The 6-10 Fischer tweeted on his Twitter account that he will enroll at Marquette, starting with the second semester. Because of transfer rules, he must sit out a year. He will be eligible starting with the second semester of 2015.
Fischer also considered UW-Milwaukee and Creighton.
"I am excited to say I will be transferring to Marquette University to play for Coach (Buzz) Williams and the Golden Eagles," Fischer tweeted. "Marquette allows me to be closer to home while playing at the highest level for a great academic institution."
Marquette is 9-6 this season as part of the new Big East Conference. It reached the Elite Eight last season. Coach Tom Crean coached at Marquette before moving to IU.
Fischer averaged 2.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 13 non-conference games. In his final game for the Hoosiers, against Kennesaw State just before Christmas, he scored a career high 10 points, plus added three blocks.
He told Crean he was leaving the morning of Dec. 30, the day before the Hoosiers opened Big Ten play at Illinois. Homesickness was reportedly a major reason for his decision.

DiNapoli: NYSHIP "Wasting Millions In Taxpayer Money"
Albany, NY (WIBX) – According to the state Comptroller's Office, the New York State Health Insurance Program paid up to $11 million for procedures that were not performed.
Two providers, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield and United HealthCare, are accused of overpaying hospitals and medical providers $3.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
In one of the audits, DiNapoli's auditors found errors in 111 of 194 claims, or nearly 60 percent of the claims reviewed.
DiNapoli says taxpayers are hurt by the spending, saying, quote, "An error rate showing that nearly six out of every 10 claims are billed incorrectly is simply unacceptable and cannot continue."
To rectify the situation, DiNapoli's auditors suggested Empire repay more than $3.2 million and to develop a system ensuring payments are supported by the correct documentation.
United is urged to develop a system to clarify and educate providers' use of evaluation and management services performed before a procedure, also known as modifier 25 coding, and to review claims from higher risk providers to recoup any over-payments found.

text: Derrol TurnerJune 11 at 6:04pm I am curretly under a MEB myself, here is my entry into FB/burnpits page. Can you tie Sleep Apnea to all of this? All service connected. Burn Pit March 24th, 2009, I entered my story on Burnpits.org now Dec. 15th, 2009 the story continues… I, TSgt Derrol A. Turner, USAFR, was deployed to Bagram AB, Afghanistan (Camp Cunningham) in spring of 2004. Here they burn all the trash in a very large open pit which was about 100-200 feet deep. All the waste was driven down to the bottom area and poured out into a continuous burning fire. About three weeks into my stay I was finding it hard to breathe. I went to see the Doctor there and was given some meds. I carried on with duties and came home. In 2005 I volunteered to go to Balad AB, Iraq to do my part; I spent 5 months there until I left on 28 Dec 2005. If you have ever been there you know what I am talking about with the burn pit located in the northeast corner of the base. Lucky us, the wind seemed to always blow the smoke directly at us while we worked on the flight line and at night when we were sleeping in H6 (housing area). I did go and see the Doctors a couple of times for coughing and diarrhea. Again I was given meds and carried on with my duties. I am a reservist who was on active orders for over 6 years in support of OEF and OIF. I was having back problems as well during this time frame and went to see a chiropractor before losing my Tricare benefits, the typical full back x-ray was taken and this is when I noticed the bottom ½ of my right lung was missing on the x-ray. I went to the base clinic and had a chest x-ray taken in which they found 2 large nodules/masses in my lower right lung and a CT scan was ordered ASAP. The CT scan showed a total of 7 nodules/masses in my right lung and scarring in my left. A Line of Duty was initiated and pushed through rather quickly to confirm the injury as active duty, deploy related. I contacted the VA and started a claim in November of 2007. I again deployed to Qatar for 4.5 months last summer and the claim was held until I was released from active duty in Sept 2008. It is now March 24, 2009 and I still have not heard from VA as to my medical board rating for compensation and disability. I also have problems with my stomach now and shortness of breath, I am still waiting on VA…. Dec 15, 2009 I just watched your video about Water purification in Iraq and guess I can be added to the list. I blame both the burnpits and lack of water treatment to be the causes of my medical problems. I was healthy before I went over! It took 614 days to finalize my claims with the help of Senator's Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint of South Carolina. I received my first VA judgement on April 3rd, 2009, my main claim, pulmonary nodules with lung scarring, shortness of breath and diminished lung capacity was deferred requesting more information. (A year and a half later and they still want more information) After returning from Qatar I had to re-accomplish all the medical tests I had taken previously. All tests showed worsening. A diagnosis of multiple stable nodules was given. A quote from VA: This disability is not specifically listed in the rating schedule; therefore, it is rated analogous to a disability in which not only the functions affected, but anatomical localization and symptoms, are closely related. I have read of nanotechnology to scan for very small particles in your lungs but have not started anything yet. Here is where I would recommend to the VA that they use civilain doctor's evaluations so as to speed up the Claims process' instead of requiring all claims to go through a VA doctor. With the Line of Duty determination, service connection has been granted for all my claims, I have been diagnosis with noncalcified pulmonary nodules with scarring, dyspnea (a sign of serious disease of the airway, lungs, or heart), PTSD, vascular calcification, arteriosclerotic heart disease, degenerative arthritis, L2/3,L3/4,L4/5,L5/S1 disc herniations and buldges worsening, disogenic disease L5/S1 with sclerosis and osteophyte, left hip radiculopathy, it goes on and on. Nearly forgot, can't forget claim for memory loss. Again, I was healthy when I went over and I am proud to be an American and be able to serve and take the fight to the enemy for my country. We all go through a predeployment physical and nobody is sent over in bad shape. I volunteered to go to Prince Sultan AB, Saudi Arabia in 2002, Afghanistan in '04, Balad AB, Iraq in '05, Sicily '06/'07 and Qatar in '08. I never expected my worst enemy would be contractors! Now with my new symptom, Chronic Obstructive Sleep Apnea,… let alone I am having problems breathing with my lungs it is now my entire respiratory system giving me problems. Peninsula ENT and Plastic Surgery of Charleston have told me that I need three operations to try and help with my breathing. I had the first procedure done Oct 23rd, 2009 to try and clear my nasal passages. My right side had completely closed up and my left was partially obstructed, the doctor even stated that there is a "hostile environment" present. Basically it looks like my throat and airways are trying to close up on me.The procedure was done and as of today continuos positive air pressure does not help. Next is a tonsilictomy, then finally, a UPPP, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. Basically a big word for cutting everything out of your throat so you can breathe. With an overall efficacy of only 40.7% for the UPPP, I wonder if a tracheotomy isn't the right move. My story continues… I believe surgeries only stop the progression of a disease not fix it, we must fix the problems that caused these issues for myself and everybody who has served in the AOR. You can help… Please contact the law firms of BurkeONeil if you feel you have been harmed in any way by the Burnpits or Water Treatment Plants of KBR in Iraq and Afghanistan during your service for OEF and OIF.
