NFL Football Sports Betting – Inside the NFL football betting lines
Since Sunday's Green Bay/Tampa Bay broadcast featured a shameless Fox promo for the American Idol Christmas Special a full six weeks before the holidays, there could be no reasonable objection if I issued my "2004 Top 5 Celebrities I Would Sleep With" list a month and a half before the new year.
This year's list includes 1) Mandy Moore, 2) Shannyn Sossamon (Knight's Tale) 3) Kate Hudson 4) Julia Stiles and 5) Kristin Kruek (Smallville).
Like it or not, that's my list. Laminate it.
I will not debate the merritt of my list with anyone, but I will concede that the absence of 2003's most beautiful person, Halle Berry, is a bit conspicuous. But if you have ever seen "Monster's Ball," you know why I can no longer look at her in the same light.
It is true that the sight of Halle Berry naked elicits feelings that most men have not had since they took down their Cheryl Tiegs posters; however, all the joy and ecstasy brought about by lengthy full-frontal shots of Halle Berry is quickly washed away by even the quickest glance of Billy Bob's bare backside.
This Sunday's NFL action was very much like watching the Halle Berry nude scenes from "Monster's Ball." It started with a slight tease, included a lengthy build-up, proceeded to a rousing climax, then before you know it, you're staring at pasty white man-ass and the momentum comes crashing to a halt.
Here is a blow-by-blow comparison of the aforementioned love scene and NFL Sunday:
Scene comes to focus: Halle Berry is sitting on the couch and drinking Jack Daniels in a pair of Daisy Duke's and a do-rag.
Before things even get started, we knew something special was about to happen. Handle was up. The publiuc had a few matchups they liked. We were not sure what was about to transpire, but we were pretty confident that if things went according to plan, we were going to like the end result.
Cut to scene: A drunk Halle Berry starts to fondle herself, tugging at her shirt and shorts.
Things started to heat up. Most folks liked K.C. and St. Louis big. We definitely knew something was brewing, but we were hesitant. These big decisions were not new to us anymore, the same way Berry's ya-ya's are a matter of public record. We were prepared to hold back judgment until someone actually delivered.
Cut to scene: Berry grabs Thornton and says "Make me feel good."
It's on! All systems go. Cincy hung with K.C. and Chicago led at the half.
Cut to scene: Berry takes off her tank top and reveals a naked breast.
The day was promising to be worth the wait. After sitting through countless days of modest decisions, we started to build momentum. Three consecutive winning weekends were in our sites for the first time all year. The early games started coming in winners. One after another. Houston won outright and broke up teasers. Philly beat the Giants. Jacksonville covered. Miami delivered an uninspired victory over Baltimore. All the minor decisions started to add up.
Cut to scene: Thornton struggles to pull off Berre's thong, bends her over the couch, and begins to compromise her integrity from behind.
PAYDAY! Cincy wins. Chicago covers.
Cut to scene: A completely nude Halle Berry goes cowgirl.
We kept on rolling. Minnesota sputtered. No one could stop us.
Cut to scene: A completely nude Billy Bob comes into focus.
We could not believe our eyes. What had happened? My god! The shame of it all. All of the day's beauty and splendor came to a screeching halt. Indy won. Denver rolled. New England covered.
Cut to scene: Tight shot of Halle Berry's face sleeping.
No one cares. The magic had already been ruined. Although there were certainly more highpoints on the day than low points, the low points really hurt, and while the day ended up a profitable one, it costs Halle Berry her spot on my list.

ANN MCFEATTERS: Democrats Speak, Sometimes Unwisely
Last week we explored the weird and wacky sayings of some of our Republican leaders during the past year. This week, we prove that Democrats are just as capable of raising eyebrows by committing the quixotic quip.
When Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., found out that Vice President Dick Cheney is a distant cousin, Obama's spokesman said, "Every family has a black sheep."
In September, Hillary Clinton went on the David Letterman Show to prove she has a sense of humor, which some Americans do not believe.
She proceeded to give her top 10 campaign promises: "10. Bring stability and long-term security to 'The View.' 9. Each year on my birthday, every American gets a cupcake. 8. You'll have the option of rolling dice against the IRS for double-or-nothing on your taxes. 7. Having trouble getting a flight and Air Force One is available — it's yours. 6. My vice president will never shoot anybody in the face. 5. Turn Gitmo into a Dairy Queen as soon as possible. 4. For over a century there have been only two Dakotas — I plan to double that. 3. We will finally have a president who doesn't mind pulling over and asking for directions. Am I right, ladies? 2. I will appoint a committee to find out what the heck is happening on 'Lost.' 1. One more pantsuit joke and Letterman disappears."
Some Americans are still waiting to see if the former first lady, current senator and wannabe president does, in fact, have a sense of humor.
Campaigning in Iowa at a livestock auction barn, she compared her campaign to a cattle auction. "I've been to cattle barns before and sales before, in Arkansas, but I've never felt like I was the one that was being bid on. I know you're going to inspect me. You can look inside my mouth if you want."
Gennifer Flowers, the former mistress of Bill Clinton, said she is thinking of voting for Hillary in the Democratic primary. She explained, "I would love to see a woman president. I just didn't think it would be her."
Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., who is running for president, said in commenting on GOP candidate Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor, "There's only three things he says in a sentence: a noun, a verb and 9/11."
Talking about his fellow Democrat Obama, Biden said, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook man."
Biden, a known talker, also said, "I got tested for AIDS. I know Barack got tested for AIDS. There's no shame in being tested for AIDS. It's an important thing." He then assured voters, It's not unmanly to wear a condom."
But he should have stopped. "In Delaware you cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. ... I'm not joking," he told an Indian man on the campaign trail.
John Edwards of South Carolina may never get over the report that he spent $400 on a haircut, topping Bill Clinton's $200 airport runway do by Cristophe.
Multimillionaire Edwards told Jay Leno the reason he and his wife Elizabeth always eat at Wendy's on their anniversary: "You can't spend money on food when you're spending money on haircuts."
Sen. Chris Dodd, who at the age of 63 has two preschoolers, joked that he's the only Democratic candidate who gets mail from AARP and diaper services.
Dennis Kucinich, former mayor of Cleveland, may never live down telling Tim Russert in the Democratic debate in Philadelphia that he saw a UFO. "It was an unidentified flying object, OK? It's, like, it's unidentified. I saw something." In self-defense, he said, "More people in this country have seen UFOs than I think approve of George Bush's presidency."
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson compared the New England Patriots' spying scandal, which cost the team a first-round draft choice and led to a coach's fine of thousands of dollars, to Bush. "The president has been allowed to spy on Americans without a warrant, and our U.S. Senate is letting it continue.
"You know something is wrong when the New England Patriots face stiffer penalties for spying on innocent Americans than Dick Cheney and George Bush."
And to think, we've got a whole year more of campaign witticisms!

Ladenburg's Highland Capital Brokerage Subsidiary Announces That Independent Financial Advisory Group Oak & Stone Capital Advisors Has Joined Its Recently-Launched Constellation Platform
Constellation Platform Further Strengthens Highland's Presence Across Independent Insurance Distribution Channels
Highland Capital's Constellation and Muse Platforms Provide Advisors and Producers with Access to Extensive Practice Management and Back-Office Support to Fuel Insurance Growth
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Highland Capital Brokerage ("Highland"), a subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE American: LTS, LTSL, LTS PrA, LTSF, LTSK) ("Ladenburg"), announced today that Oak & Stone Capital Advisors ("Oak & Stone"), an independent financial advisory team overseeing approximately $150 million in client assets, has joined Highland's Constellation platform, which will provide turnkey support in marketing, processing, carrier selection and other critical business areas for the group's diversified insurance offerings. Highland is a leading provider of life insurance, annuities and long-term-care solutions to financial advisors.
Oak & Stone is the first firm to join Highland's Constellation platform, which was launched in 2018 to extend the firm's reach within the independent financial services space. The Constellation platform provides a broad array of turnkey, strategic support offerings to financial advisors and insurance producers, including marketing, case design, underwriting, processing and critical back office functions, along with assistance in selecting appropriate carriers for customers based on their unique needs.
Jim Gelder, Chief Executive Officer of Highland Capital Brokerage, said, "The Constellation platform was created to take Highland's proprietary expertise and unique capabilities in life insurance, long-term care insurance and other areas and leverage it to empower the growth of highly motivated and disciplined teams and producers. I could not imagine a better participant in this initiative than Oak & Stone, and we are thrilled to be working with them to facilitate the further development of their insurance business."
Oak & Stone is a 12-advisor holistic financial planning team based in Tunkhannock, PA that creates goals-based wealth management solutions for clients through a diversified portfolio of investments and insurance products. The team is led by Founding Advisors Christopher Manci and Seth Diener, who collectively have more than 34 years of client service experience at Nationwide, where they worked before starting Oak & Stone in 2018.
Christopher Manci, Founding Advisor of Oak & Stone, said, "When we formed Oak & Stone, we knew that we wanted to provide a suite of services that could help our clients plan ahead for the full spectrum of their financial needs. That means we need to be able to offer world-class service and expertise in the increasingly crucial world of insurance, not just in retirement planning and portfolio management. Our participation in Highland's Constellation platform puts us in a strong position to do just that – without having to invest in internal marketing specialists, processing infrastructure or other systems. Highland has enabled us to elevate our service offerings for clients right away."
Highland's Constellation platform provides insurance services that empower advisors and other insurance producers to seamlessly and cost-effectively differentiate themselves and appeal to new markets and client types. The platform offers solutions for life, long-term care and disability insurance, as well as annuities. The Constellation platform's offerings include:
- Collaboration on sales and growth strategies, including recruitment and retention
- Marketing, case design, underwriting, processing and other back office functions
- Assistance in selecting carriers for customers
- Potential for access to Highland's Advanced Planning team
In addition, Constellation works in tandem with Highland's Muse platform, which has been built for producers who seek insurance-focused practice management guidance and back-office support in order to increase their growth potential. The Muse platform is ideal for individual producers who desire a larger culture focused on growth through partnership and collaboration, and who want to attend study group workshops and national meetings with like-minded producers.
Paul Lofties, Senior Vice President of Wealth Management at Ladenburg Thalmann, said, "We're proud of how Highland is continuing to grow as a brokerage of diversified insurance solutions to financial advisors. This announcement demonstrates the myriad ways in which Highland is helping to leverage our resources, thought leadership and national scale to address the insurance needs of advisory teams and insurance producers."

Swedish electronic duo CANVAS (comprised of brothers Robin and Andreas Schulz) with the visuals for their dynamic sounding new single "Wasting Time" (drops today via premier Swedish dance music label House Music With Love). The track features vocals from upcoming Swedish artist Tyra and this will be the last release by CANVAS as a duo.
"It feels so great to finally release this track. I hope you guys will like it as much as I do. This track represents the end of an era for CANVAS as you know us. Andreas decided to leave due to other priorities in life and we both thought that this is the best decision for us. There are no hard feelings at all and I will keep pushing CANVAS to new heights. I am super exited for the future and I can't wait to see how this new track and video will be received. Love you all!" – Robin Schulz

Initial Submission Period for Entries/Nominations: 4/6/18 at or after 12:00 AM ET – 12/7/18 at 11:59 PM ET;
Judging: 12/10/18 – 12/21/18.
Announcement of Winning Nominees: On or around 12/26/18.
In all cases, Administrator's computer is the official time keeping device for the Promotion.
SPONSOR: Quick Lane® Tire and Auto Center, 16800 Executive Drive, Dearborn, MI 48126.
ADMINISTRATOR: Exposure Marketing & Promotion, Inc., 1000 North Opdyke Rd, Auburn Hills, MI 48326.
ELIGIBILITY: The Promotion is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia, who are twenty-one (21) years of age or older. Persons may participate in the Promotion either as an Entrant or as a Nominee (except for Veterans, as discussed below).
An Entrant nominates ANOTHER PERSON (and NOT him/herself) for evaluation by the judging panel for possible receipt of a Grand Prize of a $10,000 scholarship to a college or university in the United States. An Entrant him/herself is NOT entered to win a Grand Prize scholarship in the Promotion and will NOT receive any prize, award or compensation of any kind even if the other person the Entrant nominated in his/her Entry is determined to be a winner of a Grand Prize scholarship in the Promotion.
A Nominee is ANOTHER PERSON who is nominated by an Entrant for evaluation by the judging panel for possible receipt of a Grand Prize of a $10,000 scholarship to a college or university in the United States. A Nominee must also:
have served in any branch of the United States Armed Forces and received an honorable discharge from active military service ("Veteran"); or be a first responder (whether or not certified as such), including but not limited to paramedics, emergency medical technicians ("EMTS"), firefighters and police officers ("First Responder");
be currently enrolled (or plan to be enrolled by September 30, 2019) in a college or university (including both four [4] year and two [2] colleges and universities) located in the 50 United States or Washington, DC which has been accredited by the U.S. Department of Education.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Veteran MAY enter/nominate him/herself for evaluation by the judging panel for possible receipt of a Grand Prize of a $10,000 scholarship to a college or university in the United States: a Veteran nominating him/herself for a Grand Prize scholarship will therefore participate in the Promotion as both an Entrant AND a Nominee. As used throughout these Official Rules, the terms Entrant and Nominee include a Veteran who nominates him/herself for a Grand Prize scholarship, as the case warrants (even when a Veteran nominating him/herself for a Grand Prize scholarship has not been expressly identified in the relevant provision of these Official Rules).
(Self-nomination is NOT available to First Responders; and, First Responders can only be Nominees who were nominated by someone else who is an Entrant.)
Employees, directors and officers and their immediate families (spouses and siblings, parents and children and their spouses) and household members of Quick Lane® Tire and Auto Center ("Sponsor"), GTB Agency, LLC, Exposure Marketing & Promotion, Inc., and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates and companies involved in the implementation and execution of the Promotion (collectively the "Promotion Entities") are not eligible to participate in the Promotion either as an Entrant or Nominee (or, as both an Entrant and a Nominee, if a Veteran). Promotion is void in Puerto Rico and other US Commonwealths, Territories and jurisdictions (including overseas military installations) and where prohibited.
AGREEMENT TO THE OFFICIAL RULES: By participating in the Promotion, each Entrant and Nominee (and, for Veterans who nominate themselves, as both an Entrant and a Nominee) fully and unconditionally agree to and accept these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor and the Administrator, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Having a Nominee win a prize is contingent upon both the Nominee (as the prize winner) and the Entrant who in his/her Entry nominated such Nominee fulfilling all requirements set forth herein (to the extent applicable).
TO ENTER: Between 4/6/18 at or after 12:00 AM ET and 12/7/18 at 11:59 PM ET, go to the Contest Website at www.qltradingone.com ("Web Site"). Then, complete the official entry form with all required information about you (as the Entrant) and your Nominee. Required information includes the name, address, daytime telephone number and e-mail address of both you (as the Entrant) and the Nominee, as applicable. (If a Veteran is entering him/herself, when completing the official entry form, list "Self" as the Nominee.) In the indicated area of the entry form, input your nomination of the Nominee: an original statement of 50 – 100 words in English as to why you believe that your Nominee deserves to receive from Sponsor a $10,000 scholarship to pursue a college/university education in automotive mechanics (if a Veteran nominating him/herself, nomination will explain why you believe that you deserve to receive the $10,000 scholarship) ("Entry"). IT IS THE ENTRANT'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO SECURE THE CONSENT OF THE NOMINEE PRIOR TO SUBMISSION OF ENTRY. Entrant MUST obtain permission from the Nominee for the entrant to nominate such person, to provide the Nominee's name and contact information to Sponsor, to include the Nominee's name and information about the Nominee in the Submission, and to grant to Sponsor the right to use Nominee's name and likeness as described in the Official Rules.† Check the box next to each of the three (3) following statements [IF ANY BOX IS NOT CHECKED YOUR ENTRY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED]:
I have obtained the permission of the Nominee prior to submitting the entry and the Nominee has reviewed and confirmed the accuracy of all information included therein, to the extent applicable;
I have reviewed and fully complied with the Official Rules of the Contest;
The nomination is solely my original work, does not violate the rights of any third party (including the Nominee, if applicable), is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief, and I grant Quick Lane® Tire and Auto Center nonexclusive license rights in the nomination as per the Official Rules.
† This does not apply to a Veteran nominating him/herself.
ENTRY LIMITS: A given person may only submit one (1) Entry. (For the avoidance of doubt, a Nominee may be nominated separately by more than one (1) Entrant. In addition, a Veteran may nominate him/herself and may be nominated by Entrant[s].) An Entry's nomination may only be for one (1) Nominee. Any violation or attempted violation of the foregoing entry limits may result in disqualification of Entrant and/or Nominee (and, in the case of a Veteran nominating him/herself, disqualification of such Veteran) in the sole discretion of Sponsor/Administrator.
ADDITIONAL ENTRY RESTRICTIONS: Nominations will only be accepted if included as part of an Entry; if submitted otherwise, nomination is void. Once submitted, a nomination cannot be modified or supplemented by Entrant or Nominee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sponsor and/or Administrator may request an Entrant and/or Nominee to substantiate the information included in a nomination. If Entrant and/or Nominee do not timely respond to such request or if, in the sole discretion of Sponsor and Administrator, materials provided by Entrant and/or Nominee in response to such request do not serve to adequately substantiate the information included in the nomination, the Entry will be declared void, with the Entrant and Nominee being declared ineligible for the Contest (including without limitation, if a Veteran nominated him/herself, such Veteran will be declared ineligible). Without limiting the foregoing, should Sponsor and/or Administrator determine that Entrant and/or Nominee sought to mislead or defraud Sponsor/Administrator in conjunction with Contest participation, Sponsor/Administrator reserve the right to pursue all available legal remedies against Entrant and/or Nominee, as applicable.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR NOMINATION: Submissions (i.e., nominations) must be truthful and Sponsor reserves the right to verify information contained in the Submission. Submissions must be the original work of the Entrant (if a Veteran nominated him/herself, the original work of that Veteran). In addition, Entrants agree that all entries shall meet the following requirements and guidelines (any entry that, in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion, violates the following criteria will be disqualified and will not be considered an Eligible Entry):

Entries must not communicate messages or images inconsistent with the positive images and/or goodwill to which the Released Parties wish to associate.
Entries must not depict and/or contain any content that is in violation of these Official Rules and/or any applicable laws.
**As used herein, "names" refers to persons other than the Nominee (provided that a Veteran has not nominated him/herself).
Additionally, if any entry contains any material or elements that are not owned by the Entrant and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, the Entrant is responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the Entry, any and all releases and consents necessary to permit the use and exhibition of the Entry by Sponsor in the manner set forth in these Official Rules, including, without limitation, name and likeness permissions from any person who appears in or is identifiable in the Entry. Sponsor reserves the right to request proof of these permissions in a form acceptable to Sponsor from any Entrant at any time. Failure to provide such proof may, if requested, render the Entry null and void. By submitting an Entry, Entrant warrants and represents that he/she and any persons appearing or who are identifiable in the Entry consent to the submission and use of the Entry in the Contest and to its use as otherwise set forth herein. Sponsor shall have the right to modify a statement to bring the Submission in compliance with these requirements should it feel it is necessary in its sole discretion. All Submissions will be reviewed for content eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules before being judged. Submissions containing false information, prohibited material or inappropriate content, as determined by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may be disqualified. Sponsor makes the final determination as to what Submissions are eligible to take part in this Contest. Entering a Submission grants Sponsor and its agents the unconditional, irrevocable, worldwide right to publish, use, adapt, edit and/or modify such Submission in any way, in any and all media, without limitation, and without consideration to the Entrant whether or not such Submission is selected as a winning Submission. BY SUBMITTING THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION, THE ENTRANT REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT HE/SHE HAS ALL RIGHT, TITLE, AND INTEREST NECESSARY TO GRANT THE SPONSOR THE WORLDWIDE, IRREVOCABLE AND UNRESTRICTED RIGHT AND LICENSE TO ADAPT, PUBLISH, USE, EDIT AND/OR MODIFY SUCH SUBMISSION IN ANY WAY AND POST THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION ON THE INTERNET AND USE THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION IN ANY OTHER WAY AND AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD SPONSOR HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS TO THE CONTRARY. IN ADDITION, IF AT ANY TIME DURING THE CONTEST ENTRY PERIOD OR AT ANY TIME THEREAFTER, SPONSOR DETERMINES THAT NOT ENOUGH OR NO ELIGIBLE ENTRIES EXIST FROM WHICH TO DETERMINE THE WINNERS, THEN SPONSOR MAY IN ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE DISCRETION DETERMINE THAT NOT ENOUGH OR NO ELIGIBLE ENTRIES EXIST, AND THEN MAY EITHER SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE CONTEST OR MODIFY IT (OR ANY PARTS THEREOF) IN ANY EQUITABLE MANNER THAT SPONSOR DEEMS APPROPRIATE IN ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE DISCRETION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BY NOT AWARDING ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE PRIZING SET FORTH IN THESE OFFICIAL RULES.
In conjunction with implementation and/or promotion of the Contest, Sponsor may post nominations on the Web Site and perhaps elsewhere. Such posting is intended for entertainment and informational purposes only. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, SUCH POSTING DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ANY REPRESENTATION BY SPONSOR OR ADMINISTRATOR AS TO THE ELIGIBLITY OF AN ENTRY/NOMINATION OR NOTIFICATION THAT A NOMINEE HAS BEEN SELECTED AS A GRAND PRIZE WINNER IN THE CONTEST.
Entrants and Nominees each understand and agree that, if posted, the nominations (a) may differ from the contents of the Entrant's Entry due to technological, programming, electronic or other limitations/specifications or the like and release Sponsor and Administrator from any and all liability relative to same; (b) will be posted in an order, sequence, pattern or arrangement of Sponsor's sole discretion which may (or may not) be rotated one (1) or more times in Sponsor's sole discretion; and (c) all Nominees (and perhaps the Entrant who in his/her Entry nominated such Nominee, if applicable) will be identified in the same manner, with all aspects of the attribution being determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
Initial Judging/Selection of Finalist Nominees: After 11:59 PM ET on 12/9/18, a judging panel comprised of representatives of Sponsor and Administrator will review nominations from all eligible Entries and select the top Nominees as Finalists. (Should multiple eligible Entries identify the same Nominee, the content of all such Entries/nominations will be considered as part of the initial judging). Approximately twenty (20) Nominees will be selected as Finalists, but Sponsor/Administrator reserve the right to select fewer than twenty (20) Finalist Nominees due to there being an insufficient number of quality eligible Entries/nominations received or for any other reason. Finalist Nominees will be selected based on the following criteria: compelling nature of story (25%), eligibility (50%), sole discretion of the sponsor (25%). In the event of a tie, the Nominee among those tied who received the higher/highest score in compelling nature of story, will be deemed the Finalist Nominee.
Selection of Finalist Nominee- Notification. Administrator will attempt to notify by telephone or email the Entrant who, in his/her Entry, nominated an individual who was selected as a Finalist Nominee. (If more than one [1] Entrant nominated the same Finalist Nominee, Administrator will only seek to notify the Entrant whose Entry nominating such Finalist Nominee was selected in the initial judging. If Finalist Nominee is a Veteran who nominated him/herself, Administrator will seek to notify such Veteran even if Entrant[s] other than the Veteran him/herself also nominated such Veteran.) Entrant who nominated Finalist Nominee may be required to provide the Finalist Nominee's signed Release Form as well as completing a Declaration of Compliance and Liability Release and, unless prohibited by law, a Publicity Release (Declaration/Release) for him/herself, all within an indicated time period; if Finalist Nominee is a Veteran who nominated him/herself, such Veteran must complete a Self-Nomination Finalist Nominee Release Form, within an indicated time period. If Entrant who nominated Finalist Nominee (or if Finalist Nominee is a Veteran who nominated him/herself, such Veteran) cannot be contacted within the specified time after the first attempt to contact him/her, if he/she fails to provide Release Form signed by Finalist Nominee (if required) and/or to timely execute and return the Declaration/Release on his/her own behalf (for Finalist Nominee who is a Veteran who nominated him/herself, if such Veteran fails to timely execute and return the Self-Nomination Finalist Nominee Release Form), the applicable Finalist Nominee will forfeit the opportunity to possibly win a prize based on the applicable Entrant's nomination of such Finalist Nominee (for Finalist Nominee who is a Veteran who nominated him/herself, such Veteran will forfeit opportunity to possibly win a prize altogether). (Finalist Nominees who are not selected in the second round of judging (as discussed below) will not receive any prize or compensation; and Finalist Nominees may – or may not — be notified by Sponsor/Administrator in their sole discretion, except that Finalist Nominees who are potential Grand Prize winners WILL be notified by Sponsor/Administrator.) To determine the Grand Prize winners, an additional judge will conduct a second round of judging based on their re-evaluation of the Finalist Nominees according to the criteria used in the initial judging to select the Finalists as discussed above. In the event of a tie, the Finalist Nominee among those tied who received the higher/highest score in compelling nature of story in the initial judging to select the Finalist Nominees, will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner.
Each Nominee (including a Nominee who is a Veteran who nominated him/herself) who is a potential winner must execute and return the Declaration/Release to Administrator by email or facsimile within three (3) days from the delivery of Administrator's email or facsimile to be eligible to claim the prize. If a potentially winning Nominee cannot be contacted within the specified time after the first attempt to contact him/her (excluding a potentially winning Nominee who is a Veteran who nominated him/herself who was previously notified as per Selection of Finalist Nominee- Notification, as discussed above), if he/she fails to execute and return the Declaration/Release within the required time period, or if he/she is otherwise ineligible to receive the prize, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate potentially winning Nominee may be selected in his/her place. In that event, Administrator will attempt to contact, verify eligibility and obtain the required Declaration/Release from that potential alternate winning Nominee. Winning Nominees are subject to verification by the Sponsor and/or Administrator. A Nominee is not the winner of a Prize unless and until such Nominee has been notified that eligibility verification is complete.
GRAND PRIZES: There are five (5) Grand Prizes in total. Each Grand Prize is a $10,000 scholarship to a college or university (including both four [4] year and two [2] colleges and universities) located in the 50 United States or Washington, DC which has been accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. Community colleges and junior colleges are specifically included within the definition of college or university. Grand Prize-winning Nominee must be enrolled in a qualified college or university on either a part-time or full-time basis. Scholarship is a grant or payment to be made to support Grand Prize-winning Nominee's academic tuition fee, but does not include non-tuition expenses such as food, room and board and books. Sponsor will make scholarship payments directly to the college/university where Grand Prize-winning Nominee is enrolled, contingent upon Grand Prize-winning Nominee supplying Sponsor/Administrator with an official statement from the bursar or other applicable office at the college/university. IN NO EVENT WILL THE GRAND PRIZE-WINNING NOMINEE RECEIVE ANY PAYMENTS DIRECTLY FROM SPONSOR OR ADMINISTRATOR. If Grand Prize-winning Nominee is not enrolled at a qualified college/university by September 30, 2019, the Grand Prize will be forfeited and Sponsor will not have any liability or obligation to such Grand Prize-winning Nominee. Should Grand Prize-winning Nominee cease to be enrolled at a qualified college/university prior to disbursement of the $10,000 scholarship monies for any reason, any remaining monies will revert to Sponsor, with Sponsor having no further liability or obligation to Grand Prize-winning Nominee.
ADDITIONAL PRIZE RESTRICTIONS: Prize may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part. Winning Nominee will be responsible for paying all applicable taxes on prize. Sponsor will report winning Nominee's receipt of prize to governmental authorities as required by applicable law, with issuance of an IRS 1099 Tax Form for the value of prize. Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of Grand Prize constitutes winning Nominee's permission for Sponsor and its designees to use winning Nominee's name, hometown, likeness, statements, other personally identifiable information for promotional, advertising and marketing purposes in any media throughout the world without prize, incentive, consideration, consent or review; and upon request, winning Nominee will provide written consent to such use.

Entries that are incomplete or corrupted are void. Sponsor and Administrator are not liable or responsible for late, invalid or misdirected entries, all of which will be disqualified. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

Check out this gallery of wispy bangs
Wispy bangs are considered to be barely there, and are a shorter style of bang that is cut from temple to temple and sprinkled across the forehead or cut with longer layers and then swept to the side. Wispy bangs could almost be considered a toned down, lighter version of both blunt, and side swept bangs.
Wispy bangs are a very low commitment style of bang. Since so little of your hair is needed to be cut for these bangs, they can be very easily styled to the side, and hidden amongst longer layers of your hair should you decide to grow them out.
Wispy bangs are a wonderful way to spruce up your longer locks. They give your face a flirty personality while giving your eyes some desired attention. Wispy bangs are also great on curly or naturally wavy hair.
Since Wispy bangs can be worn both across the forehead, or angled and to the side. They are a wonderful style of bangs for all face shapes. Since we know an Oval shaped face could wear these bangs, its also exciting to know a Heart shaped face would benefit the most from this look. Whether worn temple to temple or swept aside, Wispy bangs soften and balance a heart shaped face, which can help if you have a pointy chin. They also can disguise or tone down a larger forehead.
Round faces should wear these bangs swept to the side to avoid making the face appear wider.
A Square shaped face should wear these bangs with longer layers and to the side to round out harsh angles while framing the face.
After you've washed your hair, during the blowout process, you want to have your dyer up above your head and pointed down so that you are drying your bangs in the desired direction. Otherwise you could end up with much fluffier bangs then you had wanted. While drying, you can use a comb to help in the straightening process of the bangs, especially if you have wavy or curly hair. You can follow the tutorial below from the Beauty Department. It was meant for Heavy bangs but the same concept applies to wispy bangs.
Check out our ever expanding gallery of bangs on our pinterest board.

"Instant gratification is never soon enough."
-Meryl Streep
Last night I got into an abnormally long line to wait for a DC headed Megabus, just to find that traffic delays in New York City were making the running vehicles very late.
The people standing around me in line buzzed with chatter about the delays. I watched one young man approach one of the waiting workers and ask her for a number for customer service, so he could complain. She gave him the number, but warned him that their satisfaction department could not change the traffic pattern. He angrily stormed away.
Many others complained about their wait time of an hour or more, of the engagements they would be missing, and of how terrible it was to be stuck outside. Some glared angrily around at the workers, while others pouted quietly. A general unity seemed to form around the lines, as if the ridiculousness of the situation was a bonding factor between the heated personalities.
I watched quietly, considering the true craziness of the bus situation in my head. True, the bus had assigned me an appointed time that I had scheduled against. Yes, it was getting a little chilly, and my bag was starting to leave a small imprint on my shoulder. Yes, my shoes were a little wet from standing on the water soaked pavement that serves as a loading zone.
But the traffic patterns are out of anyones control. And I payed a very small fee to be able to ride in the first place, a fact for which I was very grateful, considering the short notice of the trip. In fact, I was happy to be able to be going at all, and a bus that was falling behind hardly seemed to a reason for an uprising.
More and more, I find that people today are not happy to have to wait for things. Lines are something that stores are trying to eliminate. Shipping gets faster and faster. Businesses open earlier and close later then they have in the past. Halloween shopping starts in September, and Christmas shopping starts the day after Halloween. The whole world is impatient to get what it is they want. They are more than anxious- they are demanding.
It's bad practice, of course, because the things in life that most matter do not work on a human time table. We do not control when it rains and when the sun shines. We do not choose when to fall in love and when to be done with it. We do not get to pick when we are born or when we will die. Many big factors are out of our control.
Maybe this is what causes people to make such demands of the inconsequential. Maybe we are all just afraid that since we don't get to choose the timing on the big things, if we can get the little things done, we will come out ahead. Maybe the control factor causes us to lose our patience when life slows us down, because we can slowly feel it being pulled away from us.
Whatever it is, it's catchy. First a few people complain, and then a few more jump in, and then a few more jump in, until everyone is tense. Even those of us in line who weren't complaining felt tense and cross when getting into our seats, causing everyone to jump at the driver when a few hours later, he informed us that he'd hit his driving limit and needed to switch with someone else.
Looking back, the situation almost seems comical, but it actually makes me sad. Waiting in line last night didn't have to be such a dramatic event- the weather was a little rainy and cold, but it wasn't a terrible night to be outside. Yes, the bus arrived late, but the seats were comfortable, and everyone had a nice trip to relax. And all destinations were eventually met, for less then it costs to go out for a nice dinner. There was a lot to be thankful for. And yet the general attitude was negative, a reflection that will likely cause the company to lose business and have to address the complaints of impatient people.
And I can't help but think that maybe we've got it all wrong. Maybe the opposite of impatience isn't patience- maybe it's gratefullness.
Last night I saw what I don't want to be. No more impatience- from now on I'm going to try being grateful for what I'm given, even if I have to wait for it. Because I know that if I don't get my act together now, one day I'll be the kind of person who throws a tantrum about traffic. And really, in a life that's already based on uncertain timing, there can't be a greater waste than that.

Diplomatic efforts to woo North Korea back to the negotiating table in a bid to end its nuclear weapons drive may have to take a back seat following Kim Jong Il's death as his successor son strives to consolidate his position.
The death announcement Monday couldn't have come at a worse time. The United States was preparing this week to announce a major donation of food aid to North Korea after secret negotiations between the archrivals.
The aid announcement, according to some diplomats, was to be followed by an agreement by North Korea to suspend its controversial uranium enrichment program, paving the way for the resumption of multilateral talks that have been suspended for about three years.
"Everything is on hold now," said Victor Cha, a former White House chief for Asian affairs.
Last week's talks about food aid and the possibility this week of another U.S.-North Korea bilateral meeting on the nuclear issue are "probably all 'OBE'—overtaken by events," he said.
"These bits of diplomacy constituted small bites at the apple. We are now talking about the whole apple," said Cha, now an analyst at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Power struggle
Kim's successor son, Kim Jong Un, in his 20's and a political novice, is expected to be preoccupied firming up the dynastic transfer of power amid fears of a power struggle within the powerful military or the political elite.
The senior Kim had used North Korea's nuclear arms to extort humanitarian and other aid from the United States and South Korea to attend atomic talks that involve the three nations and China, Russia, and Japan.
North Korea has adequate plutonium to build up to seven nuclear weapons, according to reports. It is unclear whether Pyongyang can manufacture nuclear warheads for its missiles. Some experts estimate that North Korea has at least 1,000 missiles, including some with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers (1,860 miles).
The question is whether Kim Jong Un can fill his father's big boots. The senior Kim was known to be ruthless to remain the undisputed national leader and commander of the armed forces, the fifth-largest in the world.
"With Kim's death, the prospects for regional negotiations on North Korea's nuclear program and other issues in the near term are very low," said Richard Bush, a North Asia expert at Washington-based Brookings Institution.
"The successor regime will have to consolidate itself before it will be prepared to engage the United States, South Korea, and others. There had been movement toward such engagement, but little can happen now," he said.
U.S. President Barack Obama's administration has been cautious in dealing with North Korea since it pulled out of the six-nation nuclear talks in 2009 and conducted its second nuclear test.
A year later, the North raised the stakes by launching a deadly artillery raid on a South Korean island. It was also accused of sinking a South Korean warship, killing more than 40 sailors.
Kim Jong Un may match or even better his father's nuclear brinkmanship, some experts said.
"The younger Kim will need to show his toughness to the military and will likely engage in more atrocious acts in the years to come," said Dan Blumenthal, a former senior official at the Pentagon.
"Things will not get better either for North Koreans or for us as long as this regime is in place. Their survival now depends upon their nuclear program."
Blumenthal, an Asia expert at the Washington-based American Enterprise Institute, said North Korea's nuclear weapons program has given them what it wants: "insurance against American or allied pressure to change" and "there is no hope of persuading the Kim family to give up its programs, stop its illicit activity, or end its cruelty."
He called for a policy of regime change—"unrelenting pressure until the Kim family collapses and members of the Party or the military are ready to negotiate radical reform and then unification" under South Korean rule.
But experts at U.S. research group Stratfor believe Kim's death does not necessarily put an end to recently revived discussions with the United States and others over North Korea's nuclear program.
"Pyongyang has increasingly felt pressured by its growing dependence on China, and these nuclear talks provide the potential to break away from that dependence in the long term," Stratfor argued.
CSIS analyst Cha believes China is the only country that "has eyes" inside of North Korea and may have to step forward to ease concerns over the security on the Korean peninsula.
The United States and South Korea have been appealing to China to engage in a dialogue about possible instability in the North since Kim Jong Il suffered a stroke in 2008.
"Beijing has been reluctant, but now it has little choice in the matter. Washington, Seoul, and Beijing must stay on the same page."

The culinary pains of being Nigerian at heart.
"How spicy would you like your food?" the waitress asked, eyeing me as I lift my spoon with chili paste to my lips, shoving it into my mouth, registering the taste of pepper. Yeah, this is definitely not as hot as atorodo. I say to myself.
Content that somehow I had one-upped the Thai food game, with my pre-existing history and contact with hotter grades of pepper, by default of being Nigerian. Definitely almost lost an eye to atarodo (local name for cayenne pepper) when I was living in Lagos. Cut pepper for my mum (stage 1), used same hand to eye to wipe my eye ( stage 2) felt like dying ( stage 3).
"Extra spicy… please," I reply.
She winces, jotting the words down rapidly. "Are you sure, miss? Our food here tends to be really spicy." I narrow my eyes at her. I have been here before. My track record is clean, having eaten my way through hole-in-the-wall Thai food spots in New York, I felt that it was unnecessary for me to go through what I had found to be this preliminary process of foreigner vs. ethnic, a process I had gone through with ease. A process of elimination. She was checking to see if I would pass the test. The igbo woman in me puffs her chest out. I be area for here now. I am about that life.
"I'm Nigerian, we eat spicy food all the time," I bite back. She nods, as though she has had this conversation with someone like me before. As though she would emerge winner after her famous last words- Miss, are you sure? Jotting down a large plus sign on her notepad, she asks if that will be all, to which I nod, and she hurries to the kitchen, filling a few jugs on her way there, like a Gretel leaving crumbs on her way home. Having a bit of time to reflect on the situation, I panic.
What if she asks the cook to add more pepper than I can handle? You know, just to "show me pepper" for thinking I can handle Thai pepper? Was I rude? Or Arrogant? I mean I really was Nigerian, and I really had tasted food spicier than most Thai food I had eaten in New York. Would it have been okay if I lied?
The feeling that I may have offended someone, and that retributive justice due me by a universe that sometimes functioned like a Nigerian movie, where small grievances such as mine, would be irredeemably punished, where wrong would not go unpunished, perhaps until part three or part four of the movie, was a possibility right now. That somehow, I could be punished for exercising my ethnic right to extra spicy food with pepe (pepper).
"You're being dramatic," my friend comments. "Highest (Nigerians say this, as though unfortunate events are finite), the cook hacks your curry chicken and we'll just take you to the hospital," he continued. He gently adorns his chicken satay with Siracha, picking them up intricately with chop sticks.
"You're right," I answer, confident in America and her ability to cart people away at the sign of illness or accident. Ambulances screaming through congested traffic, people pulling their cars to the right, a chariot on fire with the ailing patient laid on a stretcher, an $800 cheque mailed to his or her house… eventually.
Revenge Thai food, was not worth $800. I decided.
"You think I was rude? You know about the pepper, I just want to make sure I wasn't rude to her that's all," I continue.
"No you weren't rude, you just, you know, need to be less abrasive about some things, that's all."
"Abrasive about what?" I interject. "It's honestly just pepper, like who really cares about this stuff! I always feel like I'm being tested every time I get Thai food, do I look like a foreigner to these people?"
"One pineapple basil fried rice extra spicy and one curry chicken soup extra spicy for you." An interjection, from heaven or hell. I'm not sure. But I know, I will find out when I taste the food in front of me.
"Thank you," I reply. Picking up the chop sticks in front of me, I practice the finger positions and movements I had learnt a while ago. Hunger trumps cultural nuance, so I put them down and unfold the napkin, dragging the fork out. Probably against it's will, too, because as I dip it into my curry panang, blowing a little bit at the spoon, swallowing the hot liquid, I can feel the heat searing into my skin.
"But you didn't even try it yet. Sheba, just try it first, Jesus Christ."
I pick the spoon up again, and slide it into my mouth. A tapered tongue recoils, feeling the pepper cloud my throat, and the familiar comfort, like a cousin who reminds you of home, the taste settles in my mouth to my stomach. All the while, your eyes are narrowed, watching me.
Leaving the restaurant, with small sniffles and a knowing smile on our faces, yeah that food was spicy, I recognize the small happiness we share in that moment. One where we could opt to eat something so far away from us, but be bonded, if not brought together with a culture unlike ours by sheer force of spice, life…pepper. Something that seemed to be lacking in a land filled with so much food, one would leave feeling more fat than gastronomically satisfied. It made me, and you, and the people like us who were far away from home reach for siracaha bottles, Jerk spice, cayenne pepper, extra spicy beef patties, in grocery stores, like these things were treasures which would run out if we were not careful. The coughing some of my ethnically ambivalent friends experienced, visiting my apartment when I cooked for them, their nostrils flaring from the kaleidoscope of smoke, curries, and pepper. The small frown that appears on my face being at events and reaching into chicken with the sweetness stopping at the surface, the fleshy white part deprived of all spice and circumstance. I knew I was not the only one who felt this way. I knew I was not alone in this experience.
"What's the next restaurant we're going to?" I ask, slipping my credit card out of a bamboo card holder.
"Let's try Honduran food, I heard that it's insanely spicy," you reply, your eyes lighting up.
We giggle, a new challenge, a new world of spicy to be introduced to. I remember to check the fridge at home. I may or may not have run out of siracha.

For the first time since Hong Kong's Occupy Central movement started at the end of September, embattled Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying attended a Legislative Council meeting to give a policy speech on Jan. 15.
However, scuffles broke out before he even opened his mouth, with pan-democrat lawmakers putting up yellow umbrellas, and shouting slogans, according to the South China Morning Post.
Lee Cheuk-yan, chairman of the Labor Party, said: "Are you trying to stir up a Cultural Revolution in Hong Kong? Are those criticisms your only reflection on the youth issue after the Umbrella Movement?"
For several minutes the lawmakers shouted: "Leung Chun-ying, step down! I want genuine universal suffrage!" while China-backed Leung watched on smiling.
Then about 20 pan-democrats filed out of Legco, carrying two yellow protest banners calling for Leung to resign, and shouting: "Shame on you" with their fists in the air.

Two lawmakers remained, and kept shouting at Leung til they were escorted out by security.
By this stage they had started throwing objects at the Chief Executive, including steamed buns.
Among those staging the walkout was lawmaker Alan Leong who said Leung hadn't addressed the people's demand for democracy, and didn't deserve their respect, or the right to give a policy address.
He added that the walkout was to show their "unreserved and unequivocal discontentment" with the administration.

As a community partner, there are instances where you would want to create or submit events to your affiliates. e.g., If you are a community partner who wants to create a unique event not for the public but for a specific affiliate, like a business or a university program or class, you can do so by:
- Creating the event and making it completely private. When creating the event, set privacy level to "Invite Only".
- And as of recent, you can now select in the privacy level after "Invite - Only", the option "Affiliate specific" as shown below.
Affiliate Specific (setting)
With the affiliate specific setting, partners can now create events that are accessible and visible on specific "affiliate" pages. This is better than making the event private and invite only b/c originally, a link would be shared, whereas now with this setting, it exposes the event in the group(s) listings and allows the members to search for the event and register without the unique private link.

The David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy is launching a new public interest fellows program, bringing two eminent legal leaders to UCLA School of Law each year for public lectures and residencies in which they will work closely with students.
The program is made possible by a generous gift from Margaret Levy '75, a Los Angeles-area mediator in complex commercial matters and a former partner at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.
Catherine Lhamon
"UCLA Law and the Epstein Program have a great tradition of creating exceptional public interest opportunities for our students," said Karin Wang, the executive director of the Epstein Program. "The Margaret Levy Public Interest Fellows Program elevates our ability to connect our passionate public interest students with nationally-recognized lawyers who are working on behalf of vulnerable communities. The residencies allow for both intimate conversations with students as well as inspiring public talks on cutting-edge legal issues. We are grateful to Margaret Levy for her support of this vision."
The first Margaret Levy Public Interest Fellow is Catherine Lhamon, who is chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and is of counsel to the National Center for Youth Law. She will be in residence starting on Nov. 6, 2018, and will give a lecture on Nov. 7 on "The Future of Civil Rights Enforcement."
Appointed by former President Obama in 2016 to a six-year term as chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Lhamon previously served for four years as Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education. The recipient of numerous awards for her advocacy on behalf of underserved individuals and communities, Lhamon began her career in Los Angeles, spending a decade litigating racial justice and education issues with the ACLU and later directing impact litigation at Public Counsel. A graduate of Yale Law School, she clerked for Judge William A. Norris of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Vanita Gupta
The program's second fellow, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President and CEO Vanita Gupta, will be in residence February 25 and 26, 2019. Gupta served as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and head of the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, the chief civil rights prosecutor for the United States, from 2014 to 2017. High-profile matters handled during her tenure included the investigations of the Ferguson, Baltimore, and Chicago police departments; the challenge to North Carolina's HB2 law and other transgender rights litigation; and enforcement of education, land use, hate crimes, and other statutes to combat religious discrimination. Details of her public lecture will be announced after the new year.
The David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy is among the most innovative and rigorous public interest law programs in the country, training students to address some of society's most pressing challenges and provide sophisticated representation to traditionally underserved individuals, communities and interests. Program faculty have an unparalleled depth and breadth of knowledge and experience in social justice, and work closely with administrators to counsel, guide and support students and alumni as they pursue impactful public interest careers.
