CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns have always been a part of Rob Chudzinski's life. Now, he's the man in charge.
Chudzinski, who spent the past two seasons as Carolina's offensive coordinator, was introduced as the club's sixth fulltime coach on Friday, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the 44-year-old who as a kid pretended he played tight end for the Browns during games in his backyard in Toledo, Ohio.
"It is a dream come true," Chudzinski said. "I can't wait to get started."
Chudzinski will inherit a young roster he'll try to develop into a contender with the Browns, who have lost at least 11 games in each of the past five seasons and made the playoffs only once since 1999.
Chudzinski previously worked as an assistant with the Browns, most recently as their offensive coordinator in 2008. Although he has no previous head coaching experience, owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner are confident they hired the best possible candidate available to turn their club into a consistent winner.
"I would not miss the chance for the world." Chudzinski said. "We're going to win here."
The Browns hauled their search to find the 14th coach in franchise history to Arizona and back. They talked to high-profile college coaches, NFL assistants and a fired pro coach who took a team to a Super Bowl.
None of them was hired.
Instead, Chudzinski became their pick.
"I believe we came back with the best coach for the Cleveland Browns," said Haslam, who flew to Charlotte, N.C. on Thursday night with Banner to offer Chudzinski the job. "He is one of the brightest young coaches in the business."
Chudzinski's first move will be to hire his staff. He will immediately meet with the assistants currently working for the Browns. Chudzinski would not comment on any possible candidates to become his coordinators. There are reports he is considering former San Diego coach Norv Turner to run his offense. Chudzinski worked for Turner with the Chargers.
"I have a plan in place," he said. "We're going to get a great staff. We have a young group of players. This is going to be about the process. Lots of people are worried about the end result, but this is going to be the right process to get us where we want to be."
Now that they've hired their coach, Haslam and Banner will focus on finding a new general manager to help pick players for Chudzinski, who will be involved in finding the GM.
The new coach — "Chud," as he's known to players and friends — worked with the Browns' tight ends in 2004 and was their offensive coordinator in 2007, when the team won 10 games — their most since an expansion rebirth in 1999. He was released when Romeo Crennel was fired in 2008.
Chudzinski said when he walked off the field after the final game that season he knew he would be coming back to Cleveland "someday, somehow."
Chudzinski replaces Pat Shurmur, another first-time coach when he was hired, who was fired on Dec. 31 after a 5-11 season. For the past two years, Chudzinski has worked with talented Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and resuscitated Carolina's offense, which was one of the league's worst before he arrived.
When Haslam and Banner embarked on their coaching search as 2013 began, the pair vowed they would wait as long as necessary to find "the right coach" for Cleveland. They promised to give their new coach final say over the roster and planned to pair him with an executive to help pick players.
Chudzinski wasn't seen by many as an option.
And then he became the choice.
Haslam said Chudzinski's passion for the Browns was a bonus, but he had all the credentials and characteristics they were looking for in a new coach.
"If Rob was from Plano, Texas, we would have hired him," Haslam said.
Chudzinski said he wants a team that attacks on both sides of the ball. He would not comment on any of Cleveland's players, and sidestepped a question about rookie Brandon Weeden, who had an uneven first season with the Browns.
Chudzinski interviewed with the team on Wednesday, when the club also visited with Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Chudzinski appeared to be a long shot for the job, not because he wasn't qualified, but because it was thought Haslam wanted to make a big splash with his first coaching hire.
However, Chudzinski wowed Haslam and Banner during his meeting and the team decided it was time to end its search in its second week. Haslam said 10 minutes into the interview that he nodded at Banner that they had found their man.
In his first season in Carolina, Chudzinski turned Newton, the No. 1 overall draft pick, loose and the Panthers set club records for total yards (6,237) and first downs (345). Carolina also scored 48 touchdowns after getting just 17 in the season before Chudzinski arrived. The Panthers jumped from last in the league in total yardage to seventh, the biggest improvement since 1999.
Haslam pointed out the Panthers scored 88 touchdowns the past two seasons. Cleveland scored 44.
Following last season, Chudzinski interviewed for head coaching jobs with St. Louis, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay before returning to Carolina.
In getting the Browns' job, Chudzinski was picked over Zimmer, Montreal Alouettes coach Marc Trestman, fired Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt and Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton. Whisenhunt was in Cleveland for a second interview on Thursday, and appeared to be the front-runner. The Browns also were expected to interview Indianapolis offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.
Chudzinski's hiring may have shocked some Cleveland fans, many of whom at fantasies about Nick Saban or Jon Gruden or Kelly brining his supersonic offense to the NFL.
But his selection is in keeping with at least one of Banner's past moves. When he was in Philadelphia's front office, Banner went outside the box and hired Green Bay assistant Andy Reid, a relative unknown who spent 14 seasons with the Eagles.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Princess Irina Walker, the daughter of the last king of Romania, was hobnobbing two years ago with European royalty in Bucharest to celebrate the 90th birthday of her regal father.
On Friday, she and her husband, a former sheriff's deputy, appeared in federal court to face charges of running a cockfighting business on their ranch in rural Oregon. Both pleaded not guilty and were released pending trial.
Government prosecutors say Irina and John Walker staged at least 10 cockfighting derbies between April 2012 and April 2013, bringing in as much as $2,000 a day. Blades were attached to the birds' legs, spectators were charged admission, and food and drink were sold, the indictment said.
Prosecutors say 24 marijuana plants, 24 guns and a large amount of ammunition were found during this week's raid. No charges have been filed in connection with that discovery.
Irina Walker, 60, is the third daughter of former Romanian King Michael I. The 91-year-old Michael, one of the few surviving heads of state from World War II, was forced to abdicate by the communists in 1947. Sent into exile, he lived in Switzerland and worked as a commercial pilot and briefly as a chicken farmer.
According to a statement on the royal family's website, King Michael expressed "deep sorrow" about Princess Irina being arrested and hopes that the American justice system and Oregon courts will act as quickly as possible. He did not mention his son-in-law and added that he hopes the presumption of innocence will function.
The Walkers are charged with operating an illegal gambling business and conspiracy to violate the federal Animal Welfare Act. Each of the offences carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000. Federal prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of the ranch.
Authorities arrested 16 other people in the case.
Irina Walker moved to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1983 with her former-husband John Kreuger, according to her daughter, Angelica Kreuger of Oregon. She said her parents were school friends in Europe and her father fell in love with Oregon.
Angelica Kreuger said her mother is proud of her heritage – she keeps a large picture of her father in the living room – but never lived a lavish lifestyle. As for herself, Kreuger said being the child of a princess only got her picked on in school.
Never a particularly social person, Irina Walker rode horses, gardened, studied the Bible and raised two children while living in Myrtle Point. She later divorced her husband and, in 2007, married a man who had been a family friend and neighbour – former Coos County sheriff's deputy John Walker.
Kreuger said she had warned her mother about Walker, whom she called "bad news," but her mother didn't want to believe it. She said Walker made her mother feel beautiful and special, and her mother would do anything he said.
"My mom's kind of naive, that's the easiest way to put it," Kreuger said. "She doesn't really know the bad side of people."

Nicki Minaj's 'Young Forever' Leaks [AUDIO]
A new Nicki Minaj track, 'Young Forever,' was leaked to the Internet this week. The track, produced by Dr. Luke, is slated to appear on her upcoming 'Roman Reloaded' album.The track is a far cry from the 'Roman Holiday' and 'Stupid H–' Minaj has put out as of late. The song is a midtempo ode to lost love. "Don't say goodbye / Look in my eyes so I always will be remember / Frozen in time / Always be mine / Baby boy, you'll be young forever," the Harajuku Barbie sings. The song deals with Minaj moving on from the one who got away. In the track, her raps are less rapid fire and more melodic. The tune is more akin to her recent 'Marilyn Monroe' leak than anything we've heard from Minaj before.
'Young Forever' is not the only latest new Minaj track to hit this week. She premiered the uptempo, danceable 'Starships' on Ryan Seacrest's show earlier today (Feb. 14). The songs themselves are good, but they're also good deterrents. The media has blown up following Minaj's bizarre Grammy performance this weekend, which simultaneously baffled and offended many.
'Young Forever' shows a softer side of Minaj that we haven't heard since her breakout solo hit, 'Your Love.' Take a listen below!

Creating the perfect retail partnership as both great British businesses collectively hold 133 years of nursery knowledge and expertise; Mothercare customers will now have the chance to see the highly sought-after iCandy pushchairs for themselves with the great customer service Mothercare provide.
iCandy said it takes the time to regularly listen and develop through consumer feedback and in a recent iCandy survey, 68% of people voted "yes" for iCandy to sell through larger stores such as Mothercare. This move is a significant milestone within iCandy's 2014 strategy and the company expects further launches to follow.

A fellow District of Columbia resident writes, "Where to start … the abrupt termination of emergency benefits, or the endless weeks of false hope and promises.
"I have no money to get to interviews…. I also have no money for phone, no money to even keep up my personal hygiene. For over 11 years, I was steadily employed at $40K-$55K, and now I'm soon to be homeless."
This is one of well over 2,000 stories that struggling jobless workers have shared with the Center for Effective Government.
They speak of selling belongings, including a wedding ring. They speak of living without hot water, having electricity, phone service and/or internet connections cut off — of actually becoming homeless.
And they speak of ongoing, frustrating efforts to find employment — any job at all, some say, though like my fellow District resident, many used to earn a comfortable living.
Meanwhile, House Speaker John Boehner has run the clock out on the stop-gap bill to renew Emergency Unemployment Compensation that the Senate passed in early April.
The bill covered five months of EUC benefits, back-dated to when they expired at the end of last year. So the benefits it provided would have ended more than three weeks ago.
Supporters had hoped that the bill would buy time for negotiations on a further extension. Surely justified. Notwithstanding newsworthy job growth, there are still nearly 3.4 million people who've been job-seeking for more than 27 weeks.
Only two state unemployment insurance programs provide benefits for this long — and none for much longer.
So at this point, more than 3 million have lost their unemployment benefits since EUC expired, as the counter House Ways and Means Democrats have posted. Look at the numbers roll — about one more worker cut off every 8 seconds, 72,000 or so a week.
Well, I don't suppose I need to convince you of the mounting crisis — not only for jobless workers themselves, but for their families.
The question is, what will convince Speaker Boehner to let the House vote on an EUC bill? Not apparently some bipartisan job-creating measures to go with it, since he shrugged off the Secretary of Labor's invitation to discuss what those might be.
The campaign I wrote about earlier hasn't let up. We've been tweeting House Republicans weekly, urging them to tell their leader it's time — past time actually — for a vote.
Not only the Center for Effective Government, but House Ways and Means Democrats have been collecting stories — many begging Congress for help.
Last Wednesday marked a new phase in the campaign — the first of what will be seven weekly events on the grassy triangle in front of the House side of the Capitol.
Witness Wednesdays they're called because they center on readings of stories collected — all participants bearing witness to the suffering of our fellow Americans, who, as one of them says, are "swimming as hard as … [they] can, yet … still drowning."
I joined the crowd for the first event. It was a heart-wrenching — and at the same time, rousing — experience, as you can see.
Thankfully, the organizers and the many other groups supporting the cause aren't counting on touching Boehner's heart — or if you prefer, pricking his conscience. Nor, I think, are they counting on pressure from his colleagues to get a standalone bill on the floor.
We perhaps see a glimpse of the Democrats' strategy in a recent donnybrook in the Senate. Senator Jack Reed, who'd partnered with Senator Dean Heller to negotiate the five-month EUC bill, planned to attach a year-long renewal to the bill extending expiring tax breaks.
Republicans blocked a substantive vote on the bill because House Majority Leader Harry Reid wouldn't allow them to add amendments.
But the tax extender bill is one of those so-called must-pass pieces of legislation. And there are others — a bill of some sort to avert a government shutdown at the end of the fiscal year, for example, and another to keep funds flowing to road and public transit projects.
So we may see an EUC extension after all. Senators Reed and Heller are reportedly working on a new bill — this time, prospective only. No compensation for benefits already lost, though that might avert some further emergencies.
The challenge again is to find an offset that would satisfy most Democrats and enough Republicans to get the bill — or amendment — passed.
Because we know that Senate Republicans, as well as their House counterparts, will insist the benefits be fully paid for though they're willing enough to extend tax breaks with no offset whatever.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking — and the number of jobless workers with no source of cash income rising. Members of Congress will go home in about six weeks and stay there until after Labor Day.
So even if EUC is ultimately resurrected, jobless workers who've already said they're facing foreclosure or eviction may be homeless. And who knows how many more will find their job searches frustrated because they can't afford gas or public transportation to get to interviews?
This is all so pathetically unnecessary. No wonder that two-thirds of American voters have a higher opinion of lice than of Congress.

Ready, set, grow: Kansas counties get help from Advanced Manufacturing Institute to expand economic development opportunities
Economic development in 19 Kansas counties is getting a new focus with the help of Kansas State University's Advanced Manufacturing Institute.
The institute recently assisted the North Central Kansas Regional Planning Commission with increasing technology-based economic development in rural communities. The project included Chase, Clay, Cloud, Dickinson, Ellsworth, Geary, Jewell, Lincoln, Lyon, Marshall, Mitchell, Morris, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Republic, Riley, Saline, Wabaunsee and Washington counties.
"The project's goal was developing new ways to apply the concepts of industry clusters, innovation readiness and social networking to pursue technology-based economic development in rural communities," said Manveen Saini, economic development project manager at the Advanced Manufacturing Institute.
"Based on the belief that every successful technology venture requires technology resources, investment capital, enabling infrastructure, know-how partnerships and a skilled work force, our team sought to identify regional leverage points and missing elements," Saini said.
The Advanced Manufacturing Institute also developed a method to illustrate the data captured by the analysis so area economic development leaders could easily interpret the information for their regions. This information will help establish a sustainable regional innovation network capable of cultivating rural technology-based, high growth companies.
"We continue to build our services in this area and are working with Kansas companies and economic development agents to identify business growth opportunities with the recent grant we received from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to establish the Kansas Opportunity Innovation Network," Saini said.
More information on the project is available at http://ami.ncrpc.org.
"Our efforts in technology-based economic development are becoming significantly recognized as we have been invited to present our work at numerous conferences, including the National Association of Development Organizations National Summit on Best Practices in Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Planning and the Educational Association of University Centers national meeting, both in Washington, D.C.; and the Southwest Kansas Economic Summit in Garden City," said Jeff Tucker, associate director at the Advanced Manufacturing Institute.
The Advanced Manufacturing Institute, a part of K-State's College of Engineering, provides business and engineering services. More information about the institute is available at http://www.amisuccess.com.

Most genealogists seem to have their beginnings in curiosity about family stories. By now you know I'm an advocate for including them in a family history as long as they are identified as stories. I had very few hand-me-down Dougall ancestral stories.
When the first train in Canada performed its official run (from Laprairie to St-Jean-de-Richelieu) to great public excitement, emigrant ancestor John Dougall was allegedly a witness in the crowd. The Canadian Encyclopedia tells us that John Molson and other Montreal merchants were backers of the new service that opened officially 21 July 1836. It's possible John Dougall was there. It's possible some member of his family was there. Not an exciting or particularly mysterious family story!
The story was handed down that the oldest son Thomas Dougall emigrated from Scotland in 1832. Doubtless, Tom's favourable reports convinced his parents to leave a life of agricultural labour for others and become owners of land in the new world. Up until their leaving, father John worked at different farms in the county as noted in the baptisms of his children in Livingston and West Calder parishes. John Dougall was about 53 years of age when he arrived in Quebec two years later. The saga of finding his baptism was recounted here. His wife Marion Hastie, born in Whitburn parish, Linlithgowshire, (the county of Linlithgow became West Lothian in 1921) was about 43.
Marion Hastie and John Dougall. Undated photograph, but prior to July 1867; in family collection of BDM.
Children of John Dougall and Marion Hastie:
i. Thomas2 Dougall, baptized 16 June 1811 in Livingstone, Scotland. He married Elizabeth Lillie Cameron.*
ii. Margaret Dougall, baptized 22 February 1813 in Livingstone, Scotland; died young.
iii. John Dougall, baptized 6 May 1814 at Livingstone, Scotland; died about 1833 in Scotland.
iv. James Dougall, baptized 21 April 1816 at Livingstone, Scotland. He married Agnes Fenton.*
v. George Dougall, baptized 24 April 1818. He married Agnes Moffat.*
vi. Margaret Dougall, baptized 8 March 1820 in West Calder. She married Donald Loynachen.*
vii. Jean Dougall, baptized 24 September 1822 at Netherlongford, Scotland. She married Murdoch Laing.*
viii. Peter Dougall, baptized 19 September 1824 at Netherlongford, Scotland. He married Catharine Fraser.*
ix. Marion Dougall, baptized 9 September 1826 at Netherlongford, Scotland; died young.
x. Marion Dougall, baptized 12 May 1829 at Bells Quarry, Scotland; never married.*
xi. Helen/Ellen Dougall, baptized 18 January 1832 at Bells Quarry, Scotland. She married John McCunn.*
(* = More information available in the extended family history; some will be followed up here later. Livingston or Livingstone? Both versions appear in assorted records.)
John Dougall brought his entire surviving family to Canada in 1834. Before that, two daughters had succumbed to infant mortality. His son John was said to have been killed in a farm accident involving a horse, a year or so earlier. This family story has more "substance," but is alas unverified. ScotlandsPeople with its recent extraction of burial records from the old parochial registers has not confirmed this. Nor have searches been productive among West Lothian cemetery stone transcripts, or monumental inscriptions as they are called in the U.K. The recording of deaths and burials has always been less than comprehensive in parish registers; transcription of cemeteries is still a great challenge in Scotland.
None of the Dougall sons remained on the original farm. Thomas went to Chicago and prospered. James moved to the more fertile Eastern Townships. George became a tailor in Montreal. Peter became a blacksmith like his father-in-law, and moved to Renfrew, Ontario.
St Andrews (St-André Est) in Argenteuil County, Quebec, is where my Dougalls and Frasers cross paths. John Dougall took a farm at Beech Ridge above St Andrews. One of my next tasks is to determine the notaries active in the St Andrews-Lachute area during the 1830s to the 1860s. Hopefully there will be a will or a deed to describe exactly where the farm was located. Alternatively, the Quebec Online Land Registry (ACAIQ) is searchable if you know the cadastral number of the property. And how do you learn that? The cadastral number is not a street or rural address; it's the one allocated to any property for municipal taxation and valuation purposes. It's one of those catch-22s. You have to know it to find it. Another puzzle to sort out.
My family stories are pretty thin for that first generation! It's a long time since I made the last of two visits to St Andrews, but I still have the T-shirt to prove it! Visit number one was during the celebration of the tricentenaire (300th anniversary) of the founding of the Seigneury d'Argenteuil.

John Dougall and Marion Hastie were my great, great, grandparents. Jane Dougall married Sampson P Robins and they had George D. Robins, my maternal grandfather.
I am doing a family tree in myheritage.com and would love to have you join it.
My name is Peter G.M. Smith and my email is email@example.com.
It would be great to hear from you.

Suspense! Cold-blooded murder! Sketchy police officers! Fancy dresses! Drunk mother-in-laws! Fist fights! Family secrets! Flashbacks! Love! Lust! Kalinda with a foxy lady in a bar! Catholics! Fireworks! We get it all in this week's episode of the Good Wife! OK, not the fireworks, but everything else!
We start right where we left off last week, with Alicia still in that red dress looking so wonderful and I can't stop staring at the place where her shoulder muscles meet her chest muscles and I don't know exactly what that's called but she has muscles. Everyone is dressed to the nines for the Shamrock Ball, some type of very-un-Irish seeming event wherein everyone's restrained and orderly and Eli is very concerned about whether or not the important Catholic guy will hug Peter or Kresteva at the end of the night, which means he blesses you or something. Ah, Catholics and politics. In order to help impress the cardinal, Eli also implores Alicia to continue to play the role of, well, the good wife, the one who stood by her man and never strayed. Which is, of course, precisely when Will walks up. Surrounded by the three main men in her life who each tear her loyalties in different directions, Alicia decides she needs a drink.
Matthew Perry has returned as Kresteva, Peter's now official Republican opponent for governor, and he and Alicia soon share a lovely back and forth at the bar. Alicia's in a real taking-no-shit kind of mood, and throws all of her hatred for this slime of a man right in his face. She mocks his sobriety. She asks which lies he's going to spin this time around the bend. She plain calls him a bad person, saying he does Mein Kampf proud. She tells him that she hopes he dies choking on his own blood. Whoa! Go get 'em, sparky!
Alicia is soon whisked away from this bubbly conversation, however, by a pair of police officers. And here is where the episode gets interesting. She's needed at the police station to review the tape of one of her clients who has just been murdered, shot point blank in the head while walking down the street. Being that she represented him 18 times, the police think she might be able to help give a lead on who was pissed off enough at this guy to kill him. The police detective also says they have "reason to believe" that the killer is still out there and "not done killing" tonight. They ask for a list of his enemies; she fills a legal pad full of them. And a flashback reel starts to play in her head.

Dear Malcolm,
I received your letter and wanted to respond now, after hearing of the passing of Nelson Mandela. You have been in prison so many years, Malcolm. You know I have kept your letters and the total fills many file folders. I've shared parts of your letters with students at Wartburg over the years and they have written to you. I know you have kept their letters, except for when you were moved to a different prison on a moment's notice. Your recent words ring true, "Please don't despair. We are linked in Spirit so at times words understood need not be spoken."
Yes, I see from the change of return address that you have been moved once again, and this time even further from your family, 4 ½ hours from Detroit: "It seems like the closer I get to the door and the more good I try to do the worse things get for me." Malcolm, I remind you of what you have done through the years while in prison. You counsel younger men coming in, you lead Bible study, proclaiming and teaching the Word, you help men with family problems and make sure they have what they need. I have often thought of you as my Apostle Paul in prison. I rejoiced with you that in the past year you were able to become a leader in a program that helps men find new lives of peace and purpose once they leave prison. And, yes, I can just see you intervening on behalf of the young man to right the wrong done to him. I'm glad you were successful with the prison administration. And I agree that they may have been fearful of you having that much influence and that may have resulted in your being transferred.
I hear your words, Malcolm: "I am tired, Norma. I'm not about to quit, but I am tired." Don't quit, Malcolm. Even though I live so far away now in Dubuque, I am encouraged by your words, "I still seek opportunities to do what I do and be who I am. I am able to teach some classes and assist men with getting their lives together." Take courage, Malcolm. Know that you are not alone, even though prison walls and distance separate us. You say that my words comfort you, Malcolm, but it is yours that strengthen me as you write, "My trust is in the God of Justice and grace and love and compassion and hope. It is because of this compassion that we are not consumed."
Nelson Mandela fought apartheid in South Africa and was imprisoned for it, coming out 27 years later to continue the struggle and then become president of his country. He is said to have been the greatest leader of the second half of the 20th century. It would be easy to not see the man behind the icon. Those 27 years in prison took so much from him during the prime of his life. You, more than I, Malcolm, know that. The world watched as he came out of prison, not knowing what he would look like, not seeing even a picture, not knowing which direction he would turn and lead. And then we saw: towards "Truth and Reconciliation" which kept that country from being torn apart in violence and civil war after apartheid was finally ended. And you, Malcolm, have participated in your own "truth and reconciliation" initiatives in prison.
President Obama described Mandela as, "one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this Earth. He no longer belongs to us; he belongs to the ages. Through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, Madiba transformed South Africa and moved all of us. His journey from a prisoner to a president embodied the promise that human beings and countries can change for the better."
Malcolm, we know that South Africa continues to face its own struggles and that the United States is not a post-racial society, not when with "The New Jim Crow" such a large percentage of black men are incarcerated. And the gap between rich and poor grows. Mandela worked to free and reconcile oppressed and oppressor. We aren't there yet, are we Malcolm? But, here we are, over 40 years after our families, one white and one black, lived around the block from each other in Detroit. Nothing can separate us in Christ Jesus. You closed your letter with, "Give my love to the rest of the family. Take care of yourself and make sure you get some rest." I will. And, Malcolm, I received the picture your mom sent of you, Greg and her when they visited you last month. I'm glad they could make it that far. You look good. The years in prison can't take that away. Keep on keeping on. God's strength.

Starting this November, Dragon Quest's cute blue Slime character is getting its own meat buns. The blue buns will go on sale at convenience stores across the country.
This week Japanese television showed off the Slime meat buns and did a taste test. The slightly sad Slime face combined with the meaty filling make this treat more horrific than necessary.
Don't eat Slime meat buns! They're barbaric.

In his franchise tag primer, Around The League's Gregg Rosenthal recently noted that safety Glover Quinn is a better bet than pass rusher Connor Barwin to draw the Houston Texans' tag.
Despite a disappointing season featuring just 3.5 sacks, general manager Rick Smith has identified Barwin as one of his core players. There is mutual interest in securing a long-term contract, and the Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday the two sides will meet face-to-face for the first time this offseason at the NFL Scouting Combine this weekend in Indianapolis.
"We obviously think it's important (to re-sign Barwin)," Smith told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Wednesday. "That's why we tried to sign him last year. And we'll continue to try to work towards that."
Reaching common ground will be tricky, however. Much like franchise-tag candidates Joe Flacco and Ryan Clady, Barwin gambled on himself by turning down a lucrative contract offer prior to the 2012 season. Unlike Flacco and Clady, Barwin failed to build on his value.
Up against the salary cap, the Texans will have a hard time meeting Barwin's demands in a market lacking talented young pass rushers. In fact, the Chronicle's Tania Ganguli would be surprised if Barwin doesn't test free agency.
If one of the teams in need of a pass rusher makes an offer based on the belief that Barwin can recapture his 2011 form, Smith will lose one of his core players.

Halle Berry + Jimmy Fallon Show 'Em 'How We Roll,' Play Charades With Chris Colfer [VIDEOS]by Maggie Malach | PopCrush
This might be a late night first! Last night (July 8), Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry stopped by 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' — and formed a hamster wheel with the host!
Yes, you read that right. Jimmy and Halle agreed to "show them how we roll," which in this case means grabbing each other's ankles to form a human wheel. It's a simple concept, but, man, is it amusing to watch!
For those who prefer more traditional entertainment, Halle and Jimmy were joined by 'Glee' star Chris Colfer for an epic game of charades. (And we do mean epic. Do you recall when Charlize Theron and Josh Hartnett stopped by to play?)
Halle may have an Academy Award, but is it enough to win her the game of charades? Can Chris and Jimmy team up to claim the victory?
Check out the group playing charades in the videos below, and see Halle and Jimmy's hamster wheel in the video above!

Boston-based U.S. Wealth Management, an independent network of advisors and hybrid RIA affiliated with LPL Financial (LPLA), said Thursday that it added two new independent practices to its platform.
The groups joining U.S. Wealth are Equity Planning of Bethesda, Md., and a team of two advisors based in Lehigh Valley, Pa.
"LPL Financial congratulates U.S. Wealth Management and these outstanding advisory teams on their new strategic partnerships," said Bill Morrissey (left), executive vice president of business development for LPL Financial, in a press release. "We are pleased to work with these excellent firms, and we look forward to supporting their growth objectives in the years ahead."
The addition of the two practices to U.S. Wealth Management–which includes 32 affiliated advisors–brings the level of its recruited advisory and brokerage client assets to more than $600 million. The hybrid RIA began the year with roughly $350 million of recruited assets and expects to exceed $1 billion of such assets by late May 2014; it has relationships with several top custodial firms, such as LPL Financial, TD Ameritrade (AMTD) and Charles Schwab (SCHW).
"We are delighted to welcome these two exceptional advisory practices to U.S. Wealth Management," said U.S. Wealth CEO John P. Napolitano, in a statement. "By joining our platform, these experienced advisors … have further demonstrated the strength of U.S. Wealth Management's value proposition for independent advisors around the country, while extending our recent history of growth."
Equity Planning is led by Marc S. Schliefer, CFP. The group, formerly affiliated with Lincoln Financial Securities, does advisory work on about $250 million in assets in over 40 states and focuses on strategies for clients that best enable asset value protection, savings and growth potential.
Joining U.S. Weath in Lehigh Valley are advisors Benjamin Haas and Christopher Sabosik, who were previously affiliated with Ameriprise Financial (AMP). They perform advisory work on some $60 million in assets. Their practice will operate under the U.S. Wealth Management brand.
Equity Planning Inc. and the Lehigh Valley team will utilize LPL Financial, the broker-dealer for U.S. Wealth Management, for their commission-based securities activities. For fee-based activities, both teams will work with U.S. Financial Advisors.
LPL Financial is giving the two groups onsite transition assistance and technology support, and most of the two teams' RIA assets are expected to be custodied at LPL.
"U.S. Wealth Management's relationship with LPL Financial, in particular, provides us with the national scale, unbiased research and comprehensive array of tools, resources and technology we need in order to continue to grow and strengthen our practice," Schliefer said in a statement.

I need versions of the logo to blend on a full black background #000000 and other colors that I use often are #3300FF, #0099FF and similar. But will also be using this on white backgrounds (and would like some color in the logo) as well as black and white (greyscale) on white backgrounds.

It offers highly qualified faculty, in addition to professional psychologists, criminologists, and jurists with extensive experience.Crime, its consequences, and everything surrounding it have been, are, and always will be issues of tremendous personal, social, economic, and political significance. One of its characteristics is that the problems associated with this phenomenon are always changing (and ever more rapidly), as well as the strategies for confronting it. It is therefore evident that socially and academically, the need for advanced training in this area is fully justified. All this produces, as a result, an increasing demand for training and research in this scientific area.The Master's in Criminological and Victimological Intervention, given in Spanish, provides students with the skills needed to assess and intervene on individual and social levels, promoting and improving prevention aspects related to crime, delinquency, and victimization.Career opportunitiesRegulated profession: NoDoctorates providing access: The Master's in Criminological and Victimological Intervention program affords good employment opportunities at care centers for victims, juvenile reception centers, shelters, mediation institutions, security and police forces, judicial institutions, juvenile courts, penitentiaries, city halls, and associations of victims.This master's program is adapted to RD 1393/2007, and as such, facilitates access to doctoral-level education.

APPLIED INTERVENTION WITH CRIMINALSThis deals with the treatment of offenders, application programs, their results, effectiveness, and possibilities. It contains two courses: Prison Treatment (4.5 cr) and Treatment of Antisocial Minors (4.5 cr). 2. APPLIED INTERVENTION WITH VICTIMSThis presents procedures and techniques of care for crime victims, with special attention paid to the most vulnerable and criminal and parole conflict mediation, without forgetting about prevention and treatment techniques. This itinerary also contains two courses: Treatment of Victims of Violent, Gender and Sex Crimes (4.5 cr) and Treatment of Child Victims (4.5 cr).This master is divided into four modules:The Basic Module, taught during Fall semester, consists of four required courses (4.5 cr each) that provide advanced training on the study and analysis of the victim and the assessment and prevention of the criminal act.The Module of Intervention Areas also consists of four required courses (4.5 cr each). These focus on different areas of intervention with minors, on violent, domestic, and property crime.The Applied Module consists of two elective courses (4.5 cr each), and here each student chooses a specific intervention itinerary with either offenders or with victims.Finally, the program is completed with the Practical Module. This includes the internships (9 cr), wherein the academic training received is applied in practical activities at institutions, organisms, and specialized entities in the criminological field. Also included herein is the Final Master's Project (6 cr), in which the student must conduct research, both empirical and a literature review, related to one of the topics addressed during the program.CoursesSubject matterCourseECTS creditsTypeYear/Semester1FSAPPLIED INTERVENTION WITH CRIMINALSPRISON TREATMENTPRISON TREATMENT4.5Elective■TREATMENT OF ANTISOCIAL MINORSTREATMENT OF ANTISOCIAL MINORS4.5Elective■APPLIED INTERVENTION WITH VICTIMSTREATMENT OF CHILD VICTIMSTREATMENT OF CHILD VICTIMS4.5Elective■TREATMENT OF VICTIMS OF VIOLENT, GENDER AND SEX CRIMESTREATMENT OF VICTIMS OF VIOLENT, GENDER AND SEX CRIMES4.5Elective■COMMON MODULECRIME RISK ASSESSMENTCRIME RISK ASSESSMENT4.5Required■CRIMINOLOGICAL AND VICTIMOLOGICAL PREVENTIONCRIMINOLOGICAL AND VICTIMOLOGICAL PREVENTION4.5Required■CRIMINOLOGICAL AND VICTIMOLOGICAL RESEARCH METHODOLOGYCRIMINOLOGICAL AND VICTIMOLOGICAL RESEARCH METHODOLOGY4.5Required■DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INTERVENTIONDOMESTIC VIOLENCE INTERVENTION4.5Required■FORENSIC CRIMINOLOGYFORENSIC CRIMINOLOGY4.5Required■LEGAL INTERVENTION WITH MINORSLEGAL INTERVENTION WITH MINORS4.5Required■VICTIMS AND CRIMEVICTIMS AND CRIME4.5Required■VIOLENT AND PROPERTY CRIME INTERVENTIONVIOLENT AND PROPERTY CRIME INTERVENTION4.5Required■INTERNSHIPS AND FINAL MASTER'S PROJECTFINAL MASTER'S PROJECTFINAL MASTER'S PROJECT6Final Master's Proj.■INTERNSHIPSINTERNSHIPS9Internships■CompetenciesGeneral competenciesCapacity for analysis and synthesis.Mastery of the profession's basic knowledge.Information management skills.Problem solving.Oral and written communication skills.Ability to be critical and self-critical.Ability to work on multidisciplinary teams.Interpersonal skills.Ability to communicate with experts in other areas.Ethical commitment.Ability to apply knowledge in practice.Research skills.Ability to learn.Ability to adapt to new situations and generate new ideas.Ability to work autonomously.Specific competenciesAbility to apply criminology theories and concepts in the explanation and prediction of crime and victimization.Ability to identify the risk of crime and the prevention needs in different intervention areas.Ability to identify criminological problems, formulate questions about them, and plan their scientific study.Ability to select and apply research results and analyses from advanced study of criminological and victimological problems to situations and specific intervention environments.Ability to apply mediation and conflict resolution techniques in the different fields of criminological and victimological intervention that may arise in professional practice.Ability to design and implement victimological prevention programs.Ability to identify victimological risk factors.Ability to implement protective measures for crime victims.Ability to identify relevant criminological and victimological factors in the field of domestic crime.Ability to carry out an intervention in the field of domestic crime.Ability to identify relevant criminological and victimological factors in the field of violent crime.Ability to carry out interventions in different areas violent crime operates in.Ability to identify relevant criminological and victimological factors in the field of economic crime.Ability to carry out specialized clinical interventions in different areas where economic crime operates.Ability for criminological and victimological intervention with juvenile offenders and victims.Ability to delve into advanced practical aspects about processing and interpreting specialized criminological reports in the clinical application of specific situations and subjects.Ability to transfer models and theories about deviant behavior to clinical practice of professional intervention.Ability to analyze the legal aspects about crime in depth and be able to apply that ability in an advanced manner to the field of forensics in specific intervention cases.Ability to identify factors about risk and victimological protection.Ability to design and implement treatments for specific offenders.Ability to evaluate, in terms of effectiveness, efficacy, and efficiency, programs and treatments aimed at the offender.Ability to evaluate, in terms of effectiveness, efficacy, and efficiency, victimological prevention programs.Final Master's ProjectUMH General RegulationsThe Final Master's Project must be completed under the supervision of an academic advisor who is a faculty member with teaching responsibilities in the program.

Experimental work related to the program. b. Literature review and research focused on different fields related to the program.c. Professional in nature, related to the different areas of professional practice in which this graduate program qualifies for working. Other types not adapted to the aforementioned but that are related to the skills associated with the program.Access and AdmissionsAccessAccording to the provisions in Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, amended by Royal Decree 861/2010, of 2 July, which establishes the organization of official university education, the conditions for access to the Master's in Criminological and Victimological Intervention shall be the following: For access to official master's education, applicants must hold either an official Spanish university degree or one conferred by a higher education institution in a country belonging to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that entitles access to master's education in such country.Access may also be granted to those possessing a degree from an educational system outside the EHEA, without requiring its homologation, but following verification by the UMH that the degree represents an educational level that is equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degree and that it entitles access to graduate education within the issuing country. Access this way does not mean, under any circumstance, homologation of the degree the interested party holds, or its recognition for anything besides acceptance into a master's program.AdmissionsThe 150 places available are distributed in the following manner:Classroom: 50 placesDistance: 100 placesApplicants with educational backgrounds directly related to the master's course contents will be given admission preference. It is therefore stated explicitly but not exhaustively that applicants holding undergraduate degrees in or equivalent to law, criminology, and/or psychology will receive admission preference. The selection criteria for applicants are the following:1) The academic record accounts for 40% of the final assessment. Taken into consideration is the undergraduate education grade point average.2) Grades in undergraduate subject matter that corresponds to lines of work related to the master's account for 10% of the final assessment.3) Work done and seminaries attended related to the master's lines of work account for 5% of the final assessment.4) Professional profile/career related to lines of work in criminological and victimological intervention accounts for 10% of the final assessment.5) Other criteria accounts for 5% of the final assessment: a) Knowledge of languages having a scientific interest, preferably English, verified by official certification. b) Knowledge of statistics.6) An application essay accounts for 30% of the final assessment. The applicant's arguments for participating in the master's program are considered, along with the compatibility of their expectations with the requirements for participating. All documentation will be evaluated by the Assessment and Selection Committee, which will be formed by the Master's coordinator and two faculty members. In order to be admitted, applicants must obtain at least 50 points out of the 100 possible.The criteria for admission and selection will be the same for both the blended learning as well as online modalities. However, and with respect to the latter of the two, special geographic circumstances could be valued in certain cases where it would be very difficult for a student to participate in the program in the blended learning modality. As a general rule, no student may change their program modality except for ensuing extraordinary circumstances. If a change is requested, it must be stated and justified before the Master's coordinator, who will assess the request, and then either grant or refuse it.Links of interest of the masterScheduleThe schedule may be consulted at the following link (in Spanish): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tJ0qAJh3l36zjzXfPBc7fdLcNCkMnCAM/view?usp=sharingClass times in the blended format are the following:Wednesdays and Thursdays, 4 - 9 p.m., with the last week of each month intensive:Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 4 - 9 p.m., and Fridays from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 4 - 7 p.m.This schedule is illustrative and may be subject to change. The classroom sessions in the blended format of this program are held in the Training Room of the Crímina Research Center (Hélike Building) on the Elche Campus.Admissions profileApplicants who have a direct relation with this program's subject matter are preferable. Thus, it is established explicitly, but not exclusively, that applicants possessing degrees in or the equivalent to law, criminology, and/or psychology receive admissions preference. All documentation is assessed by the Evaluation and Selection Committee, comprised by the Master's Coordinator and two faculty members. For admission, applicants must obtain at least 50 points out of 100.The admission and selection criteria are the same for both the blended and distance formats. However, for the latter, special geographical circumstances may be valued in certain cases as some students may be unable to enter the program in the blended format.Internships[ReferenceError: v8main_lang is not defined] app_Android | app_iOS | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | | LinkedIn | Instagram | Pinterest +34 96 665 8500 | Contact us:info(arroba)umh.es Miguel Hernández University 2020

I'm retired from the Military now after 22 years of service and three tours of combat. I worked on APG as a civilian employee for nine years now at this BRAC process is a joke. I'm writing this because the poor news and newspapers are so blind on the politicians we have in charge. This ride option deal [for APG commuters] is just another handout.
The politicians for Maryland let this post run down for the 30 years that I've seen APG, and when the New Jersey workers came, they built new, state-of-art buildings and restaurants, etc. for them, and everyone else is still stuck with outdated building and roads.
This is unacceptable and the APG commanders are a disgrace for allowing this on their watch. I'm sure this won't be investigated because this news reporting that is being passed on to the American public is so leftist sided it's unsettling, when you fought to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.
Also, we are facing serious budget cuts to our military when we should never cut defense to keep our military safe. These hand outs to the government BRAC workers etc. are just another joke with our president. Maybe one day the Democrats will wake up before our freedom and family values are gone.
Just like our Second Amendment rights are in danger. The Democrats only want to pick and choose what amendments in the constitution they want to uphold. They need to remember they ought they look to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Can't wait to relocate my family to Pennsylvania.

ZipnGo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 193 diseños de 53 diseñadores freelance.
We are a husband and wife team that has develped an innovative business travel luggage. We have applied for a patent and a trademark for the name. This luggage will appeal to the business traveler as is will make carry on travel much easier. We are looking for a logo that is professionla looking, sleek, and conveys travel message and defines our product.
The target audience is the business traveler. Although this is not a new market we are looking to develop a new niche of business travelers who are tired of lugging two pieces - a carry on bag and a briefcase - through airports. Our luggag combines the two pieces into one well balanced piece that makes it easier to go through security and to manuver through airports. The two pieces separate for stowage on the airplane and the briefcase can be used on its own once the business traveler arrives at his or her destination. The audience is the road warrior who wants business travel to be easier.
We are looking to improve on an existing design that we are attaching. The logo should express the name "Zipngo". Since the briefcase literally attaches to the carry-on bag with a zipper we want the "zipper" to be integrated into the logo.
The logo should indicate movement and we want a "silohuete" of an airplane taking off. We "Z" to fade away into the form of the airplane. The airplanes on the attached examples are too cartoonish and we want the silohuete to be much sleeker. If we can integrate the globe into the logo we would like that very much. Also including the zipper pull in some way in the logo would be nice.
The logo will need to be in colors that will "pop" on a black background since we plan to integrate it into the luggage itself.
Attached are two designs that we have been working on and some creative combination of these two is where we want to go.
We have applied for a trademark so the "TM" and "Brand Luggage" should be on the logo.

MANAGER Roberto Mancini has set his sights on an important three years with Manchester City after disclosing that he had several offers to move elsewhere at the end of last season.
The Italian, who led City to their first championship for 44 years last season, signed a five-year contract in July and intends to cement City as the premier force in England.
"Last year I was very close with seven or eight teams but I prefer to stay here," former Inter Milan manager Mancini said today, reacting to reports that French club Monaco had sought his services.
"It is a fantastic situation. Now, we have time to improve and build a team," added Mancini who replaced Mark Hughes in December 2009.
"I have worked well here for three years," he said. "I signed a contract for the next five years because I believe in this squad, because I can work with serious people like the owner and the chairman.
"To work with these people is fantastic. In football it is difficult to find people who work well with the manager. Now, the next three or four years will be very important for us."
Mancini, who has come under fire for his side's woeful form in this season's Champions League in which they have managed just one point from their first three games, said he was happy with the appointment of former Barcelona technical director Txiki Begiristain as director of football.
"I am very happy," said Mancini. "Begiristain has a lot of experience with a top club like Barca.
"If we did well in the last two years, I think we can do better in the future.
"He built a fantastic team with Barca and for this reason I think, for us, he will be very important."

After 48 hours of incessant rain, the creeks and rivers of Tuscarawas County spilled their banks on March 25, 1913. Though the flood occurred 100 years ago, its impact continues to this day. Locally, it led to creation of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District — a network of dams and reservoirs that control flooding in the state's largest wholly contained watershed.
After 48 hours of incessant rain, the creeks and rivers of Tuscarawas County spilled their banks on March 25, 1913.
In the days that followed, bridges were destroyed, factories were flooded, homes were washed away and train and streetcar service was interrupted throughout the county.
The situation was the same throughout Ohio.
Between March 23 and 27, more than 40,000 homes were flooded and 467 people were killed across the state, with Dayton being the hardest hit city. The Ohio Historical Society has called the 1913 Flood "Ohio's Greatest Weather Disaster."
Though the flood occurred 100 years ago, its impact continues to this day. Locally, it led to creation of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District — a network of dams and reservoirs that control flooding in the state's largest wholly contained watershed.
In 1913, there were no dams or levees to protect Tuscarawas County communities from flood waters. When the water came up, residents had no choice but to flee their homes.
On the evening of March 25, about 100 families in the Tintown section of Dover were evacuated from their homes in boats. The Dover Daily Reporter reported that the water was between 3 feet and 10 feet deep. Some homes on Broadway Street were submerged to the second story.
That same night, residents of the Royal Settlement south of Midvale also had to be evacuated by boat.
At 3 a.m. on March 27, the Tuscarawas River reached its highest level. By that time, Dover and New Philadelphia were without gas, electricity and running water. The west side of Uhrichsville was flooded, and the water was 2 feet deep in the streets of Newcomerstown.
All of Port Washington was submerged, with 5 feet of water in the public square. The New Philadelphia Daily Times reported that 150 homeless residents huddled in the village schoolhouse. It was impossible to send them aid.
Heavy property damage was also reported in Mineral City, Sandyville and Zoarville.
Bridges gave way under the pressure of the rushing water. The S. Broadway bridge over the Tuscarawas River in New Philadelphia was washed away at 1 a.m. March 26 and the White Bridge north of Dover at 4 a.m. that same day.
Three bridges were destroyed in Franklin Township, including the 62-year-old Welty covered bridge, according to the Strasburg Record.
Farmers who lived close to the Tuscarawas River coped as best they could. John Shull, who lived near Gnadenhutten, moved his pigs and sheep into the first floor of house, because his barn was flooded. His family occupied the second floor.
Peter Zimmerman, another Gnadenhutten farmer, faced a similar situation. He moved his cattle and horses to higher ground when his barn flooded, but the cattle soon returned to the barn, preferring to stand in water. So Zimmerman and his hired girl had to go to the barn in a boat to milk the cows.
By March 28, the Tuscarawas River began to fall, dropping 25 inches in 36 hours. Electricity was restored in Dover and New Philadelphia, but it was impossible to buy coal in Dover. New Philadelphia merchants would only sell milk to families with babies because it was in short supply.
Two Tuscarawas County residents died because of the flood.
Frank Waud, 20, of Newport drowned March 29 when his rowboat capsized in Big Stillwater Creek near his home.
Lyle Crawford of Newcomerstown died April 4 while helping to repair a bridge over the Tuscarawas River south of Newcomerstown, which had been undermined by the flood. While he and three other men were at work on the bridge, the second span broke at both ends and dropped 20 feet into the river.
His co-workers were rescued, but Crawford was struck on the head by a piece of iron from the bridge. His skull crushed, he sank into the river. His body was recovered three hours later.
As a result of the flood, civic leaders began looking at ways to protect their communities from future floods. In Zanesville, where the Muskingum River crested 27 feet above flood stage, Bryce Browning, president of the local Chamber of Commerce, raised money to look at some type of flood prevention.
"They found that it was a greater issue than Zanesville," said Darrin Lautenschleger, public affairs administrator for the MWCD. "It was a watershed issue."
It wasn't until 1933 — 20 years after the flood — that a plan was developed to reduce the effects of flooding in the Muskingum River watershed. The project — paid for in great part by the federal government — included construction of 14 dams and reservoirs between 1935 and 1939. Two more dams were later added.
Originally, the MWCD was supposed to operate the dams when they were completed, Lautenschleger said. "Then the Flood Control Act of 1939 transferred control to the Army Corps of Engineers. The conservancy district manages the reservoir areas behind the dams. It's an 80-year partnership that continues today and is as strong as ever."
Since construction of the system, the Muskingum watershed has been spared $10 billion worth of property damage, according to the Army Corps of Engineers.
Lautenschleger said the flood of 2005, which hit northern Tuscarawas County, was comparable to the 1913 flood.
"Seven of the 16 MWCD reservoirs reached their pools of record, which is the record for the amount of water held behind the dams," he said. "It was a significant flood event, but the difference between it and 1913 is that there was little to no property damage reported and no loss of life. The system worked as it was designed."

Dear ABC News Fixer: My Health Care Is Not My Ex's Business
Dear Richard: Your complaint got wheels turning...
June 18, 2013 -- Dear ABC News Fixer: Under state law in New Hampshire – where my ex-wife and I both live – after a divorce, the spouse may remain on the health insurance policy of the ex-spouse's employer, for up to three years.
I have 10 months remaining of this three-year maximum.
Recently, my ex-wife's employer changed its health insurance plan to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida.
During a conversation with a representative from BCBS of Florida, I requested that any correspondence regarding my health and health care be kept private from my ex-wife. Most important, I asked that any Explanation of Benefits paperwork be mailed to my personal address only, in order to comply with HIPAA privacy rules.
The rep replied that they would only be able to mail my private health care information to my ex-wife's address, as she is the policyholder.
In the end, the rep did take my address and said she would forward the info to another department, but she wouldn't promise that anything would be done. How can they get away with this? My health care is my personal business, not my ex-wife's.
Thank you for any assistance you may be able to give me!
- Richard Alperin, Newmarket, N.H.
Dear Richard: This was a little baffling, considering the lengths to which most medical providers go to comply with the privacy portion of HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
We took your problem to Florida Blue, as the insurer calls itself in Florida. Company spokesman Mark Wright came back with some good news: Apparently your complaint got the wheels turning because they already had your address in the system and they promise to not send any of your personal medical info to your ex-wife.
We asked Wright whether there's any formal process for others in the same predicament. He said it's handled on a case-by-case basis, and that even though documents typically go to the policyholder's address, that can be changed in circumstances like this.

The Irate Gamer spent nearly 60 hours creating this stop-motion action figure Christmas spectacular, when he could have just filmed my office for an hour on any given Saturday.
The old Skylanders go on a magical journey to welcome the new Skylanders: Swap Force figures into their home. It's a bit slipshod, but certainly better than any stop-motion Skylanders video you've done, so there.
This is probably what I'd be doing constantly if I had a lot more time on my hands, only with less non-child-safe content.

Jeff Withey had 15 points and 11 rebounds while becoming the Big 12's career blocked shots leader, Elijah Johnson emerged from a season-long slump and No. 14 Kansas walloped Texas 73-47 on a festive Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Johnson finished with 12 points for the Jayhawks (21-4, 9-3 Big 12). Travis Releford added 15 and Ben McLemore had 13, including a 360 jam in the closing minutes that capped off quite a show against the Longhorns (11-14, 3-9) for more than a dozen former players in attendance.
Among them was Mario Chalmers, whose buzzer-beating 3-pointer forced overtime in the 2008 national title game won by Kansas. The Miami Heat guard was honored at halftime by having his No. 15 raised to the rafters, where it joined names such as Wilt Chamberlain and Paul Pierce.
Perhaps one day, Withey's name will reside there.
The senior center had his 265th block early in the second half to move past former Texas star Chris Mihm for the most in league history. The reigning Big 12 defensive player of the year even had four steals while making life miserable for the young, undersized Longhorns.
Myck Kabongo, in his second game back from a 23-game suspension, was held to 13 points by the nation's top field-goal percentage defense. The Longhorns' sophomore guard missed his first seven shots and committed three turnovers, his only real success coming at the foul line.
Texas wound up shooting 21.8 percent from the field and 2 of 21 from beyond the arc.
The prime-time match-up between two of the nation's stingiest defenses figured to put points a premium, but that only turned out to be the case for the Longhorns.
They had already fallen behind 11-8 when they went the next 8-plus minutes without a field goal, missing 10 straight shots, three free throws and turning the ball over twice. By the time Ioannis Papapetrou got to the rim for Texas, the Jayhawks had built a 24-11 lead.
It never got a whole lot better for Texas.
The Longhorns went another 6 1/2 minutes without a field goal before Demarcus Holland's steal and layup got them within 28-15 at halftime. That meant the final 15:55 of the first half, Texas had precisely as many shot-clock violations (two) as they had made field goals.
It was the Longhorns' lowest-scoring half of the season.
Kansas didn't waste any time delivering the knockout punch in the second half.
Johnson was the catalyst, scoring the Jayhawks' first seven points and finally starting to shake out of a season-long slump that has been frustrating and, at times, embarrassing for one of the key players on last season's national runner-up.
The senior guard started Kansas on a 13-4 run by getting to the basket and drawing a foul. He missed the free throw, but moments later did the exact same thing and converted the three-point play. Johnson finished off his own spurt with another basket, and by the time Releford scored in transition, the Jayhawks had built a 41-22 lead with 14:32 remaining in the game.
Texas coach Rick Barnes, whose team is in danger of missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in 15 years, was powerless to stop the onslaught even with a full complement of timeouts.
Kansas eventually pushed the lead to 55-28 when Withey scored six straight points, including a follow-up dunk off his own miss with just less than 8 minutes left in the game.
McLemore put the exclamation mark on a celebratory night for the Jayhawks when he got ahead of the fast break with about 4 minutes left and elevated for a 360 dunk that brought down the house and gave Kansas a 68-34 lead on the dazed, checked-out Longhorns.
Kansas, which rallied from 11 down to beat Texas in January, emptied the bench in the final minutes as it coasted to its eighth win in nine meetings with the Longhorns.

Once-frozen Arctic sea now gets 16-foot waves
(NEWSER) – Good news for Arctic surfers? The Beaufort Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean, was long covered in a perpetual layer of ice; not so anymore.
Now, the area has seen waves 16 feet high thanks to warmer temperatures, scientists say in a new study, per National Geographic. The giant waves happened during a storm in 2012, the year the researchers collected their data. Such big waves could themselves contribute to a further reduction in ice. Waves break ice, and that gives the sun a chance to make the ocean even warmer.
Big waves can also result in quicker erosion on nearby shores, and could indirectly boost the release of greenhouse gases in the Arctic.
"It is possible that the increased wave activity will be the feedback mechanism which drives the Arctic system toward an ice-free summer," the researchers write in Geophysical Research Letters. Not only would a lack of ice be bad news for local animals, the giant waves would make things tougher on humans drilling for oil or shipping items in the area, the Washington Post notes.
Another recent Arctic-ice discovery: a lot of plastic.

It has not been an easy business finding a younger hooker to take over from the ageing Keven Mealamu and Andrew Hore and the All Blacks have a number of works in progress.
Dane Coles is the latest to be given his chance to advance his case and try to convince he really can play at this level. Hika Elliot has been tried with mixed results. They are the best of the bunch at the moment but neither appear destined to be as durable and effective as the two incumbent veterans.
There is also a younger wave hoping to emerge in the next 12-18 months - Ben Funnell and Codie Taylor at the Crusaders and Quentin MacDonald at the Blues. But maybe there is a left-field option that the All Blacks have their eye on: an unexpected solution to a problem that is perhaps bigger than anyone is letting on. Mealamu's calf has been an issue all year - a sign of the wear and tear, a warning that he might not be able to push on past next season. Hore is 34, still playing well, still feeling good but, at 34, he can't take anything for granted.
The answer to this riddle may be Ben Tameifuna - the giant Chiefs tighthead prop currently troubling the scales at 150kg and dealing with a number of personal issues. Madness? Maybe. But there is a fine line between lunacy and genius and, while Tameifuna is making the headlines right now for his extraordinary girth and drink driving escapade, this is not a player the All Blacks are ready to give up on.
"There is no doubt he is a player of some ability hence why we selected him," says All Black coach Steve Hansen. "That and the fact Charlie (Faumuina) wasn't available. Ben's issue is his fitness, his discipline to be a professional athlete.
"I know the Chiefs are working on a plan around that and I know that Ben wants to - so, if Ben is genuine, he'll be given all the support he needs to achieve that. Once he gets fit then we know he's going to be a pretty tidy footballer."
Tameifuna can scrummage; he can run; he has great hands, great skills and huge courage as he showed this year when he battled through his rookie Super Rugby campaign carrying 15kg too many.
They'd back him to nail the specialist skills of hooker and the prospect of that is fascinating: imagine the scrummaging and destructive power of a front-row that included Owen Franks, Tameifuna and Tony Woodcock?
The All Blacks feel Tameifuna could make the transition but hinges on one thing: Tameifuna needs to take on board the need to improve his diet, follow a conditioning programme and adhere to a professional regime that will take him to full potential.
"To play hooker, he is going to have to get fit," says Hansen. "Once he gets fit, then we can look at all sorts of things. That is an option going forward but we have to see how he goes."
