Well, it was an immediate hit. They took to one another And after dating
for six weeks, he asked her to join him For a weekend in Vermont. Their

So, I actually had sugar-free lifesavers handy to suck on whenever I craved something. Just be patient, it will be OK. I was just thinking about starting that up as well... GOOD LUCK!

Comment: TORONTO, Jan 16 (Reuters Life!) - With big handbags becoming a key fashion accessory for working women, health experts are warning they can also become a key health concern.
ADVERTISEMENT
Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and straps have become longer but the extra leverage has many patients complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.
"I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and pick it up," said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician on the medical staff at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas.
"We take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they're anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds (3.1-4.5 kgs)...We're really going to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze."
William Case, a physical therapist in private practice in Houston, Texas, said an aggravated neck or shoulder can lead to upper back problems, meaning pain may then be felt while working at a computer or playing sports.
He urged designers "to place a cute, educational caution tag on all bags to inform of potential neck and shoulder dangers."
Above all, he recommended correct posture while carrying bulky purses, keeping the head and shoulders aligned upright. Patients should also frequently change the size and weight of purses carried.
"The extra-large purses are quite phenomenal. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I don't know how aware they are of the potential problems," Case said.
"Massage, anti-inflammatories and rest are good to help alleviate the symptoms temporarily however the only real cure is patient education," case added in a written message to the American Physical Therapy Association.

Comment: Case said children were recommended to carry no more than 10-15 percent of their body weight in backpacks, which are effective at spreading loads carried, but fashion consultants say they just aren't cool any more.
"The trend is either very large or very small. People go to the gym, they have an extra pair of shoes, they have their make-up, so there's more stuff to carry around," said Ellen Campuzano, president of the Committee for Color and Trend, a fashion forecasting service.
"The backpack is really for a very casual customer, for a student with books, that is not a fashion customer."
Professor Alan Hedge, an ergonomics specialist at Cornell University in New York state, said similar health problems arose when laptops were first introduced.
Traditionally women adopted better postures for carrying loads, such as baskets on heads or strapping a papoose across the back, but placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient ways of carrying a load.
"This causes a great imbalance. You only have to see people carrying bags in shopping centers, looking hunched up like Quasimodo," he said.
"If it (a big bag) is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light."

Comment: Good morning all, it has been a minute, but the new job is no joke. I work for a company that is basically taking over IT for another company. All perm staff either convert to us or get fired. The guys there have gotten comfortable and used to be rude to the employees at the company, never fixed a damn thing and were lazy over a period of time. It has been wild the past few weeks. Also, they have a huge staff in India. We use Skype and that is how we communicate to our techs over there. Interesting. It is still tough to try and sell the IT industry to black youth, we have a high school computer club on Saturdays but we are lucky to have more than 5 kids there on any given day. Hope all is well with you guys.

Comment: A 6-year-old boy died Tuesday afternoon after being shot in an apparent accident in a vehicle belonging to his grandmother, a Cook County correctional officer, sources said.
Investigators believe the child, sitting alone as his grandmother ran into a South Side preschool to pick up his younger brother, pulled the loaded gun from a glove compartment, a source tells the Chicago Sun-Times.
As he pulled the gun out by the barrel, the trigger got "hung up" on something and a single shot was fired, striking the boy in the mouth area, the source said.
That source also said it was believed the gun was "department-issued."
Jaylen Parker, of the 6700 block of South Oglesby -- just two blocks from where the shooting happened -- died a short time after the 4:30 p.m. incident.
'She was in a panic'
Michael Carter, the academy's director, told the Sun-Times that the grandmother -- dressed in her correctional officer uniform -- came to pick up her 3-year-old grandchild from a preschool housed in the Mighty God Christian Academy in the 6700 block of South Shore Drive.
A few moments later, the grandmother came running back into the school, Carter said.
This time, she was carrying a bleeding Jaylen in her arms.
"She was in a panic," Carter said of the grandmother.
"She was screaming for someone to call 911. Someone took the child and laid him on the ground, and I began performing CPR on him," Carter said.
Shooting believed accidental
Police and an ambulance were summoned to the school. Jaylen was taken to the University of Chicago Hospitals, where he died at 5:04 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Chicago Police are calling the shooting accidental, and a death investigation is under way, said Officer Hector Alfaro of Police News Affairs.
That includes questioning the boy's 47-year-old grandmother, a correctional officer since 1989, a law enforcement source said.
"She's a good grandmother," Estelle Parker, the officer's mother, told WMAQ-Channel 5.
"I know she was careful [with her gun], and she thought probably he couldn't get hold of that."

Comment: An official who raped a 14-year-old intern in his Markham City Hall office was sentenced to 14 years behind bars Tuesday.
An unshaven Mark Houser, 43, broke down in tears and wailed apologies to the girl and her family in Cook County Criminal Court, begging Judge Joseph P. Kazmierski to spare him a long prison term.
"I've brought shame on my family, I've brought shame on my boss and I've brought shame on myself," the former code enforcement officer sobbed into his jail-issue jumpsuit, twice shouting out, "I'm not an animal," as the girl and her family watched.
But an unimpressed Kazmierski ordered Houser to serve two consecutive seven-year terms for the August 2005 sexual %*$ault, as well as a concurrent five-year sentence for official misconduct.
Houser must serve at least 85 percent of the 14-year sentence before he is eligible for parole.
His claim that the girl consented to sex was rejected last month by Kazmierski when he found Houser guilty on eight of 10 counts.
In a written statement read at the hearing Tuesday, his young victim said Houser had broken something in her "which can never be put together again," leaving her feeling "dirty, self-conscious, embarrassed and ashamed."
Girl's family suing
Two women who had been Houser's co-workers testified that he repeatedly sexually abused them in earlier years.
The girl's parents are suing Houser and the city, alleging that Markham Mayor David Webb and his top officials knew of the earlier allegations against Houser and should have protected their daughter.

Comment: Do Parents Spend Enough Time With Their Children?
by D’Vera Cohn
(January 2007) Recently published research concludes that today's U.S. mothers and fathers spend at least as many hours caring for their children each week as parents did four decades ago during an era that in the popular imagination was a golden age of family togetherness.
It may seem contradictory, then, that many parents complain of feeling rushed and of not having enough time with their sons and daughters. One reason for this, authors Suzanne Bianchi, John Robinson and Melissa Milkie suggest in their book, Changing Rhythms of American Family Life, is that there is a gap between parents' self-evaluations and the currently high cultural expectations for "intensive parenting."
Parents today correctly believe they are busier than mothers and fathers of past decades, according to the authors, who are sociologists at the University of Maryland. Total workloads—the combined hours people spend in paid jobs and unpaid family or household care—"have risen and remain high" for married parents, especially dual-earner couples, and for single mothers. Mothers and fathers have equal total workloads, the authors report, but the mix continues to reflect traditional gender roles. Although fathers have picked up some domestic work, mothers still do more around the house and spend fewer hours in the workplace than fathers do.
The authors made extensive use of time diaries kept by parents as part of large research studies, in which a standard series of questions walk respondents through a complete day. The first national-level study was conducted in 1965, and it was replicated in 1975, 1985, and 1995. They drew on other time-diary studies from the late 1990s and early this decade, and made use of the Current Population Survey data on work hours, the 2000 General Social Survey, and other material.
Time diaries indicate that married fathers spent an average 6.5 hours a week caring for their children in 2000, a 153 percent increase since 1965. Married mothers spent 12.9 hours, a 21 percent increase. Single mothers spent 11.8 hours, a 57 percent increase.
These increases are powerful because the figures are for "primary care" where the child is the main focus of attention, not for time spent with the child while doing other things. Time-diary numbers, however, do not say whether mothers are as accessible to their children at home during as many hours as they were in the past.

Comment: Child-Care Time Rose Since 1985
The rise in child-care time documented in parents' diaries began after 1985. Mothers' child-care hours fell from 1965 to 1985, consistent with an era in which the average number of children per family declined, women's employment rose sharply, and single parenting increased. Since then, though, mothers with paid jobs and mothers without them have increased their time with their children. Married fathers' child-care hours changed little until 1985, and rose substantially after that.
The U.S. trend parallels findings of national-level time-diary studies in Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands, as well as limited data from Australia. Both mothers and fathers in those countries have increased their hours with their children, fathers most dramatically.
U.S. mothers and fathers have increased the hours they devote to enriching activities such as reading and playtime, as well as to basic child care such as feeding and dressing. This finding, the authors said, refutes "any notion that quality activities have been sacrificed as time constraints on employed parents and single mothers have increased."
But in the face of competing demands, child-care time does not just happen: Parents have had to employ a variety of strategies to maintain the hours they spend with their sons and daughters.
To make time, mothers have reduced their housework hours over the years by an amount the authors said matches their increase in paid work hours. They have cut their free time, including hours spent on civic activities, according to time diaries cited by the authors. Employed mothers spend less time with their husbands, and have given up time with friends and relatives. Fathers have reduced the hours they spend on personal care.
Another way parents try to make more time for their children is to do two things at once. Time diary comparisons show that parents spent twice as many hours multitasking in 2000 as they did in 1975. During waking hours, "about half of today's parents' time is spent doing two or more activities simultaneously," the authors write.
"They’re doing a good job of fitting it in," said Milkie, an associate professor of sociology. "They may feel the guilt, and that's what's bringing them to take their kid to the grocery store when they don't have to.'

Comment: Mothers More Likely to Feel Rushed
Although time diaries show that mothers and fathers spend about the same amount of time doing two things at once, survey data show that mothers are more likely to report multitasking all the time as well as feeling rushed. Employed mothers feel the time crunch more than those without paid jobs, and single mothers feel the most time-pressed of all. Perhaps, the authors suggest, that is because the complex nature of running a household today means that there never is a moment when something does not need to be done.
Parents, especially mothers, may be responding to heightened expectations, the authors said. "If our interpretation is correct, the requirements for effective and good mothering have ratcheted upward at the very time when there are expanded opportunities for women to do other things with their time, such as devoting themselves to fulfilling jobs," they write.
Especially among middle-class parents, children increasingly are expected to be the center of family life. Today's parents are expected to monitor their children carefully because fears of abuse and of crime have risen. They are expected to guide and nurture their children through every aspect of growing up, and to be involved in all of their activities. Because the average family now has fewer children than in the 1960s, the investment in each child is greater.
No wonder, then, that 40 percent to 60 percent of parents feel they spend too little time with their children, the authors note. They live in a society, said Milkie, where "you can't spend enough time with your kids . . . cultural ideals are really feeding into this."
The authors acknowledge that some of their conclusions go against the grain of popular belief. Although they raise concerns about the strains on parents, especially single mothers, they conclude that some aspects of childrearing have not suffered in the transition to a world where most mothers have joined the labor force.
"Somehow, then, despite concerns of policymakers and others that children are not receiving sufficient parental time," they write, "parents seem to have compensated for family and work arrangements that at first glance should have taken away from childrearing."

Comment: Hurricane Joumana - Getting Uglier....EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – In the locker room, the New Jersey Nets used to roar with laughter when one former Net would mumble his nickname
for the wife of franchise star Jason Kidd. "Five-oh," the player
called Joumana, a reference to her husband's jersey number and her
perceived penchant for finding ways to clandestinely monitor Kidd and his teammates. "He'd say, 'Five-oh was out in the club with us last night,' " another player said. Across his six years with the Nets, Jason Kidd has been the face of the franchise, raising out of the rubble one of sports' historic losers. Beside him, Joumana Kidd, an ex-Budweiser model turned NBA TV gadfly, pushed for her own platform of power. She had front-row seats across from the visitor's bench at the Meadowlands, several rows in front of the rest of the players' families. The cameras loved her. After her husband, she was one of the Nets'
most famous figures in Metropolitan New York. And to get Jason to
re-sign with the team in 2003 over San Antonio's offer, to keep him
happy, there included an understanding that it meant meeting the
demands of his wife.The Nets had to bow to her whims and wishes, and as one official sighed, "We usually did."
As much influence as Jason had with ownership and management, as much
power he wielded with coaching and personnel matters, Joumana carried
considerable clout. Now, Joumana has this franchise bracing for a
firestorm of tabloid front pages and trash television coverage over
what are expected to be blistering charges and allegations in her
imminent divorce petition. She's retained pit bull divorce lawyer Raoul Felder. All in all, the Nets are treating Joumana like a storm about to hit shore. Around the organization, they believe Joumana plans to deliver
damaging information on Jason and possibly his teammates. This could
test the limits of locker room peace and the rush of a resurgent Nets
season. This is going to get messier and nastier and ultimately test
the staying power of this franchise.
Wherever the blame rests in this marriage – and that's something
between them – they've struggled to keep it from affecting Jason's
workplace with New Jersey. In some ways, the Nets have survived the
disruptions the couple has brought, but it's come with an escalating
price within the team. The sports page is no place for sordid details
of a divorce, but the Kidds have decided to let it all play out in
public. The Nets will be left to sift through the wreckage.

Comment: "Jason is our guy, and we're going to get dragged right through the
mud with him," one Nets official said.
After a sluggish start, the Nets have found a rhythm to an uneven
season. They've won six of eight games and reclaimed a share of first
place in the Atlantic Division. Mostly, they've been the beneficiaries
of Jason's best basketball since knee surgery two years ago. "He has a mental toughness to just put everything else out of his mind
and play at an elite level," team president Rod Thorn said. After missing a triple double by a rebound on Monday, Jason said, "My personal life does not come out onto the court. I try to keep (personal and private) separate." Along the way, there's been a blurring of the personal and
professional with the Kidds. Once he let loose on her in his divorce
petition last week, Jason lost the right to declare it a private
matter. He went to great lengths to portray Joumana as a volatile,
jealous and mentally unstable mother and wife. Once Joumana allegedly used their young son to rummage through Jason's locker at the Meadowlands on Dec. 27, retrieving the names and numbers of his conversations, he was moved to unleash on her in the public
document. "Once she had used his own son against him like that, he just lost
it," one league source close to Jason said.

Comment: As the Kidd marriage dissolved in recent months, there was one Net who
told people that he believed Joumana was responsible for spreading
falsehood stories about his lifestyle. The players told management and
friends that they believed she blamed him partly for problems within
her marriage. In the end, he didn't have proof – just sharp suspicions. Yes, it sounds like a soap opera. And that's what it's been with New Jersey.
It had gotten so bad with the Nets that, just two weeks ago, Thorn
called every team in the league and inquired about whom they might be
willing to trade for one of his stars, including Vince Carter, Richard
Jefferson and Jason Kidd. As one Eastern Conference executive says,
"Kidd is virtually untradeable," because of his advanced age (33), and
contract ($41 million in the next two years of his contract).
Nevertheless, Thorn understood how deep of a division that had been
drilled into his locker room.
At one point, Thorn believed the chemistry could be beyond repair.
Now, he has come to believe that if the Nets can just survive the
barrage of the divorce complaint and tabloid fervor, there may be a
chance of salvaging the season. For now, Joumana Kidd has been banned from Continental Arena and the Nets' practice facility, and husband and wife have taken out his and her restraining orders. If nothing else, it completely changes the dynamic surrounding the franchise. In the past, she was constantly calling for meetings with Nets management, from past CEO Lou Lamoriello to Thorn, railing on everything from her husband's past coaches and teammates to the fact that the players had to clean snow off their own cars upon returning from road trips.

Comment: At one time, she was a regular in the Nets' marketing meetings.
Everyone had to sit and listen to her ideas. She never did get the
carport constructed for players' cars at the practice facility, but
she did score the players' families a lounge to use on game-days.
Her front-row seat led her to tell employees that she was a great
benefit to the Nets on game nights, that she served, in her own words,
to "distract" other teams. How she managed to do that was cause for
much conjecture in the team's offices, but now it's just down to this
in Jersey:
When does Hurricane Joumana hit land and what will be the damage?

You're right, she reminds me of Janet, not "Control" Janet, but Janet now. If the U.S. would start following the lead of Hong Kong in this: Hong Kong limits pregnant Chinese women By SYLVIA HUI, Associated Press Writer
Tue Jan 16, 2:26 PM ET
HONG KONG - Pregnant women from mainland China who are near their due date will be turned away at Hong Kong borders if they cannot prove they have appointments in the city's hospitals, officials said Tuesday. The number of births by mainland Chinese women in Hong Kong nearly doubled in 2005 — from 10,128 in 2003 to 19,538 — according to the city's Hospital Authority. Many come to evade China's one-child policy, take advantage of higher quality health care or earn Hong Kong residency rights for their babies.
The former British colony of Hong Kong is now under Chinese rule, but it remains separately governed and maintains immigration controls. Hong Kong residency, which is required to live in the city, is coveted by mainland Chinese because of the higher standard of living here and prospect of a better education for their children.
Starting in February, mainland Chinese women who are more than seven months pregnant cannot enter Hong Kong if they cannot prove that a Hong Kong hospital has confirmed arrangements for their admission, said Patrick Nip, deputy secretary for the Health, Welfare and Food department.
Many mainland women currently do not make bookings or provide prenatal records to Hong Kong hospitals, choosing instead to rush to emergency wards at the last minute to give birth. Some leave behind large hospital debts when they return to China.
As part of the new rules, mainland Chinese mothers will have to pay double the normal fee to give birth in Hong Kong hospitals. Medical staff stationed at border control points will help officials step up checks on women who appear far along in their pregnancies, an immigration official said.
"If there's a need to ascertain whether a woman is pregnant or not, medical staff would be at hand to provide assistance," said David Chiu, an assistant director of Immigration.
But some say the new measures are discriminatory because they single out mainland Chinese women. According to officials, pregnant women of other nationalities will not be subject to the measures because their numbers are relatively small.
"It's important to see if this is really justified," said Law Yuk-kai with the Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor.
"Why is it just Chinese women, not women from other places? Pregnant women may also have legitimate reasons for coming to Hong Kong," he said.

Comment: [Chassie, and everyone who watched Lackawana Blues], I have a culture question: My copy arrived and I watched it last night. There's the scene where Nanny comes back from hospital and the people in her house start pining dollars on her person. Is this an old custom that used to exist back in the day or it's still practised to this day? In my culture(Zulu) there's the custom of giving a girl passage to adulthood. It's quite a big occassion and during that day well-wishers pin bank notes on her just like they did Nanny. Was quite interesting to watch. Good movie and thanks for talking about it. Now, I need the soundtrack.

Comment: NORTH BABYLON, N.Y. (AP) -- Three teenage girls were arrested Tuesday on charges that they punched and kicked another girl and recorded the beating so they could broadcast it online.
Police did not release their names because they were being charged as juveniles. Two are 14, and one is 13.
Police in Long Island's Suffolk County said the video showed the three girls beating a 13-year-old girl Dec. 18 at a school. The video was shown on two Web sites.
The beaten girl wasn't hospitalized and didn't tell her parents, police said.
The three girls were arrested on charges of juvenile delinquency and attempted %*$ault.
Police were investigating who taped the incident.

Comment: Man Rapes, Tortures Wife While Filming Porn Video
Jan 16, 2007 11:12 PM EST
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A 30-year-old man kidnapped, raped and tortured his wife, then hung her from a tree to film a two-hour bondage pornography video, authorities said Tuesday.
The man was charged with aggravated %*$ault and battery, sexual battery, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. He was being held in the Brevard County jail on Tuesday in lieu of $3 million bail.
"I don't know how to even explain it," sheriff's deputy Marlon Buggs said, adding, "the victim will be mentally scarred. He humiliated her."
The Associated Press does not identify victims of sexual %*$ault. The man was not identified in an effort to protect his wife's identity.
The couple went on a canoe trip down a canal on Saturday and pulled ashore near some trees, when he began raping her and taping it with a video camera, Buggs said. He tied her to a tree, where she hung naked for several hours, her toes grazing the ground.
He struck her with the side of a hunting knife blade, leaving bruises, then raped her again, Buggs said.
It appeared the man was following a computer printout describing the crime in detail that was found at the scene, Buggs said.
If convicted, the man faces a life sentence, Buggs said. He will appear in court Feb. 9. His attorney's name was not immediately known.

Comment: arkansasgirl, I dont like Vanderbilt mainly for this reason. I know SEC schools put much more emphasis on sports than other areas, but there was a black female basketball player. She was raped by a black football player known as Tank. If I knew his real name I would print it here. Instead of supporting the female, turning over the player to the authorites they convinced her not to press charges and paid for her abortion. Yes she became pregnant due to the rape. They finally kicked him off of the team for smoking weed. He then transferred to Florida A&M. Now Vandy was known as a racist institution and it had its moments. As a black woman/person you deal with that on the regular. It has changed thru the years and really opened the institution up to minorities.

I was slightly confused by the pinning of the money on Nanny, too. However, my girlfriend from Nigeria had money pinned on her at her wedding reception. Her dad had a huge bank envelope of $1 bills and was passing it around for folks to pin it on her. I kept about 5 dollars of that money... lol

Comment: ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Police in Athens are stepping up efforts to stop a newly identified street gang that is believed to have been involved in the weekend beating of a teenager.
On Monday, Athens-Clarke County police got permission from the owner of an apartment complex in west Athens for officers to patrol the property. Authorities say it has become a center for activity for a gang called the "Westside Bloods."
The increased effort comes in the wake of a brutal beating of a 15-year-old at a party in the apartment complex. The teen apparently did NOT realize he was attending a gang party.
A witness said that after the victim arrived at the apartment Saturday, young men dressed in their gang colors of red and black asked the boy if he was "down with Folk or Blood" -- both street gangs with national memberships -- and then beat him.
The teen who brought the victim to the party dragged his friend from the apartment, but the %*$ailants followed and resumed the beating until they were scared off by someone who fired a gun in the air, the witness said.
The victim -- who lost consciousness -- was treated at a hospital.
Two adults and three juveniles accused of participating in the beating have been charged under the state's Street Gangs and Terrorism Prevention Act.
Police say the Westside Bloods is a relatively new gang that has been responsible mostly for petty crimes, such as vandalizing property with gang graffiti.

Yesterday the top story on every news station was about the offensive coordinator resigning to take a head coaching job in Tulsa and the semi-star freshman quarterback asking to be release from his scholarship(the offensive coordinator was his high school coach). That situation you mention is messed up. As you said as a black woman you deal with racism on the regular but it was just something about that campus I didn't like. I don't know. But anyway, when you attended did they have the rule that freshman and sophomores had to live on campus and couldn't have cars?

This was a symbol of us starting our life together and growing, etc. They pinned it on the tree because I got married in Jamaica. They usually stick it on the skirt of the wedding dress.
That's from my mom's maternal side of the family which is my most direct link to "pure" African in America culture (read: no white folks on that side of the family and my great-great grandmother who lived til 1941 was a slave til she was 18).

I think this was a subtle way of American Idol getting 'payback' by dissing his hometown. They kept saying that there were NO talented folks in Minneapolis. Also, if you will remember, after they did that montage of folks singing 'Kiss', Randy said that Prince will NEVER sing on American Idol again... JMO

Comment: Springer" bodyguard gets own talk show By Kimberly Nordyke
Wed Jan 17, 4:24 AM ET
The burly security guard on "The Jerry Springer Show" will bring some tough love to his own daytime talk show in the fall.
Steve Wilkos, a former Marine and cop, will offer advice and "dole out his own version of justice" on the as-yet-untitled show, distributor NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution said Tuesday,
The show, to be taped in the same Chicago studio where "Springer" is shot, has been sold to such stations as Tribune-owned WPIX New York, KTLA Los Angeles and WGN Chicago.
Wilkos, who will leave "Springer" after 14 seasons to take on his new job, said: "I really like helping people."
His other screen credits include cameos in such films as "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Pauly Shore Is Dead."

Comment: Hundreds of Dillard Students Told to Give Back FEMA Money Posted Jan. 17, 2007 – Hundreds of Dillard University dormitory residents who received assistance payments from the federal government after Hurricane Katrina are being asked to repay the money because, according to federal officials, they were ineligible for the aid. The students, said Rachel Rodi, a spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), incorrectly received assistance payments because they claimed that the college dorms that were damaged by the storm were their primary residence.
Confused and Shocked...."Students who lived in a dormitory owned or managed by the school will not qualify for housing assistance because dormitories are not considered a primary residence," Rodi said. Instead of applying to FEMA, she added, the students should have first tried to receive compensation for their losses through the school's insurance company, which was National Student Services, Inc. at the time of the hurricane. Brandon Carter, a sophomore chemistry pre-engineering major, was one of the students who was confused when he received a letter from FEMA.
"When I did my application, I was honest about my losses. I was shocked when I received the letter and showed it to my mother. My initial reaction was to brush it off, yet after speaking with my mom, I realized that actions needed to be taken. Regardless of what FEMA's decision is after my appeal, I have no intention of paying them. I stayed in Module A in the Nelson Modular Complex and lost everything. The money was much in need; I had nothing," Carter said.
"I never received any type of insurance," said Channel Prothro, a former Dillard student. "FEMA was the only assistance I received for losing everything, yet I'm being treated as if I cheated them.

Comment: "I am still struggling due to the hurricane and this FEMA situation is making it worse. It took them two months after the hurricane to give me anything and now they are asking for their money back? That is just ridiculous for them to be so idiotic."
Rodi, the FEMA spokeswoman, said that the precise number of students involved and the total they would have to repay was not available.
Suspicious Claims....In late July, FEMA began sending letters demanding repayment because of an investigation in early May of fraudulent claims, said Freddye Hill, Dillard's vice president of campus life. FEMA then began an investigation. "I received a call from one of the investigators. He told me that FEMA had received more than 3,000 applications for assistance from 2601 Gentilly Blvd.," the address of a Dilliard dormintory. "The large number of applications from 2601 prompted an investigation," Hill said.
FEMA has been asking for money back from disaster victims for a number of reasons, even if the agency had already determined an individual eligible for assistance. According to a statement from FEMA, some of the wrongful payments were the result of the need to provide quick assistance to victims while chaos reigned in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane.
In the disaster setting, individuals might not have completed paperwork at the time of registration or might not have realized that another family member had already registered, according to FEMA's official Web site.

Comment: "During an evacuation, people may find themselves as they did in Katrina with very little but the clothes on their backs for many weeks. Assistance from FEMA can make all the difference in those early days when they could not get help yet from private insurance for example," according to the FEMA statement. Now that the situation has calmed and victims have had time to receive compensation from their private insurance companies, FEMA expects to be repaid." Hill explained that some students made unnecessary claims on items that were actually Dillard property. 30 Days to Pay..
"The investigator asked questions about what furniture and appliances the University provided in each residential unit because some applicants requested assistance to replace large appliances such as refrigerators and stoves," said Hill. "He said that these claims necessitated information about what furniture and appliances Dillard provided in each room and apartment."
Samantha Knox, a junior elementary education major, said FEMA did not make it sufficiently clear that students who received aid might have to repay it. If FEMA "is now trying to make the money we received . . . some type of loan, they should have told us from the start. It's wrong for them to have told us a year after we used the money to replace our lost items," said Knox. "This is a major concern of the students. SGA, Dr. Hill and Edgar Chase have been working together with FEMA in order to rectify this situation," said the Student Government Association president, Dominique Hayes. Chase is the Dillard vice president in charge of the campus reconstruction.
According to Rodi, students have 30 days to pay the money back in full or agree to an installment plan. But they can appeal the demand for repayment by explaining in writing why they feel FEMA's decision was incorrect. They can, for example, supply additional information, such as a utility bill or any other kind of bill with an address to prove that it was their primary residence. Hill said Dillard was willing to help the students during their misfortune. "Since October, I have sent FEMA letters on behalf of residential students who resided in University housing in August 2005. If a student needs a letter verifying that he or she resided in University housing in August 2005, I will provide a letter verifying residency," said Hill.

It really hurts my heart to hear when a person is killed because I have so many questions and when I saw the President on 60 Minutes, I had even more questions. This war is about not making him look like a complete azz to the entire world. Too late now. I believed that when young soldiers started dying in numbers for nothing, they would definitely no re-elect him but they did and as a result, we're in this mess. I can't even imagine the pain that comes with losing a loved one for something so senseless. If the President wants to really impress me, send his own damn worthless daughters to fight in Iraq!

Comment: The Rev. Martin Luther King's Secretary Is Dead Posted Jan. 15, 2007 - Two days before the national celebration to honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his longtime secretary, Dora McDonald, died Saturday. She was 81. McDonald, who started working for the civil rights leader in 1960 and quickly became his confidant and adviser, was the person who informed Rev. Dr. King's wife, Coretta, that the civil rights leader had been slain on April 4, 1968.
In a 1989 interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, McDonald, according to The Associated Press, described her role as King's secretary at Ebenezer Baptist Church and later at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) as "a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week job." She tended to his everyday affairs - finances, correspondence and travel arrangements. King also entrusted his family to McDonald's care when he was in jail or traveling. "But there was never a time - and I can say this in all truthfulness, from the time I went to work for him until his death - that I regretted what I was doing or where I was at that moment," she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. After King's death, McDonald couldn't bring herself to hang pictures of King, refused to listen to recordings of him and wouldn't reveal anything personal about him. In a 2002 autobiography, she refused to describe much of the behind-the-scenes workings of the civil rights movement, despite encouragement from civil rights leaders. The Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of the SCLC, remembered McDonald with affection. "She was more than Martin's secretary. She was his confidant, his colleague," he told The AP. "She loved him and he loved her. We all loved Dora." She died at Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta of complications from cancer. She never married and had no children.

Comment: Jay-Z Accused of "Faux Fur" Fraud
He had 99 problems, now Jay-Z has one more.
A jacket from Jigga's clothing line, Rocawear, allegedly has dog fur in its collar, even though it's advertised as having fake fur. According to an investigation by The Humane Society of the United States, the Hunter jacket on Rocawear.com contains real fur from a raccoon dog, a dog indigenous to Asia that The Humane Society claims are skinned alive for the coats, hence the uproar.
As of today, the $265 coat was still a "featured" item on the Rocawear website. Late last year, a similar investigation found that raccoon dog fur was being used in a coat in rap mogul P. Diddy's "Sean John" collection; that item was removed from stores within a few days.
Reps for Jay-Z and Rocawear could not immediately be reached for comment. The Humane Society said that it informed the company of the issue a week ago, but that they've taken no action.
UPDATE: In a statement to TMZ, a spokesperson from Rocawear says, "We were not aware that our product included raccoon dog materials. We have immediately instructed all manufacturers and licensees that no product can be produced using this fur. In addition, we have removed those items from our website."

"We love it there," Jolie told the magazine of their fourth home during the red carpet of Monday’s Golden Globes. "The kids are going to go to school there. We're really looking forward to it."

haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered
by society as half man, half boy Not yet dry behind the ears, not old
enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never
really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash
his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either. He's a
recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued
some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a
steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears
to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock
and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155 mm howitzer.

|
Name:
MDhornet
Comment: He is
10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is
working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble
spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip
a rifle in 30 seconds and re%*$emble it in less time in the dark. He can
recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and
use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and
can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told
to stop or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and
without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity.
He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and
wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He
sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He
can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If
you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his
food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle
when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and
weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it,
because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian,
draw half the pay and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen
more suffering and death then he should have in his short lifetime. He
has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them. He
has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat
and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate
through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning
desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand,
remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day
out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as
did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the
price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the
American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200
years. He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and
understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and
admiration with his blood. And now we even have women over there in
danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our
nation calls us to do so. As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot.
A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their
helmets.

Comment: Chief wants medical-pot moratorium
Dispensary proliferation, fliers near school alarm Police Commission
BY RACHEL URANGA, Staff Writer
LA Daily News
Article Last Updated:01/16/2007 09:54:39 PM PST
With an explosion of medical marijuana storefronts in Los Angeles - 143 of them, more than half in the San Fernando Valley - and reports of Grant High School students being targeted for business, Police Chief William Bratton is backing a moratorium on pot-distribution centers.
On Tuesday, Bratton and the Los Angeles Police Commission called for the City Council to impose a moratorium on all centers until they ban dispensaries within 1,000 feet of any school, day-care facility, church or other house of worship.
"It's mind-boggling that the state has allowed them to mushroom," Bratton said. "The state should be ashamed of itself for setting up a process so that this gateway drug is allowed to proliferate, and have it so poorly regulated."
Under a 1996 state ballot measure, the clinics can distribute doctor-prescribed marijuana to relieve anything from anxiety to nausea to acute pain. But federal officials consider all marijuana illegal.
Bratton said he supports medical marijuana but believes pharmacists - not storefront operators - should be the ones dispensing pot.
"I am sorry, but the vast majority of these places are using it for recreational drugs, and that's my opinion," he said.

Comment: With the number of dispensaries jumping from just five in July 2005 to 143 by the end of last year, police say the centers' tactics have become more brazen, including distributing fliers near high schools and colleges.
At Grant High in Van Nuys, police found medical marijuana fliers on car windshields in August and said they appeared to be ads to get teens high.
The message in the fliers, emblazoned with a marijuana leaf: "It is still legal to own, grow and smoke medical marijuana as long as you do it properly. Qualification is simple, and our experienced physicians are more than happy to help you."
The Pacific Support Services ad offered "$15 off with flier." A call to the number on the flier went unanswered.
The dispensaries also have attracted crime, with neighborhood complaints around the centers totaling 110 as of November, police said. Police also note an increase of robberies around the dispensaries.
But medical marijuana advocates say any change in the city's law could harm patients in need of pain relief.
"This is completely arbitrary and capricious. There is no rational reason," said Bruce Margolin, director of LANorml, a local marijuana legalization advocate group. "By forcing it back into the black market, you are going to be encouraging more underground use of marijuana."
Last year, Councilman Dennis Zine called for a moratorium on new clinics after a rash of clinic openings spawned community complaints. And the police note that seizures of marijuana are up 140 percent.
"It's alarming that it's increased, and there are so many of them," said Sarah Pullen, a spokeswoman for the Drug Enforcement Administration. "As far as we are concerned, they are regular drug dealers. They are violating federal law."
An aide for Zine said the matter could come before the council early next month. But it won't come without protest.
"This is not a big scam. This is not a way to get rich," said a man who said he is the owner of the Natural Relief Center, a Canoga Park marijuana center, but who declined to disclose any name but Michael. "There are a lot of things involved, working with cancer patients, patients who have seizures. They want to make us look like a bunch of partying hippies."

However, unlike in other countries outside our collective conscienceness, we already KNOW what's needed in NO and IMO Brad & Angie's presence don't mean dyck. We should be more concerned with holding the politician's feet to the fire re: NO, than what Hollywood celebrity is moving into a multimillion dollar mansion. Now if someone can tell me that Brangelina has the clout to force the federal government to unazz the needed funds to make NO once again whole and self sufficient AND able to weather the next big storm, THEN I might give a dayum. Until then......

Angelina may be a home-wrecker, but she gives away the vast majority of her money to charity. I forget the exact amount. Something like 60%. She still has plenty on which to live. I believe that she is a true humanitarian and truly wishes to use her celebrity to help shed light on the plight of less fortunate people in the world.

Comment: girlj ....I don't exactly hate her, but I do take exception to the way she and Brad are held up to be model citizens (which they are in some ways), but the whole basis of their "relationship" reenforces the images our young people see of people behaving improperly even immorally being held up as shinging examples. They visit foreign countries, support some causes there, adopt a couple of orphans so it's all good? They committed adultery, broke up a marriage, after a "whirlwind" (another word for too short) courtship, she allows him to adopt her kids, without benefit of marriage and then they have a child of their own. Not the role models I personally give a whole lot of props too. Sorta like the whole Diddy/Kim cover story extoling their "relationship".

She claimed on Television she would never sleep with a married yet before the divorce was finalised, she was pregnant, she also said she was the one who got knocked up, meaning she got pregnant deliberately, So I don't beleive a word she says, she can adopt a million kids, I don't care, and while she is going all over the world, why doesn't she adopt one from America for good measure. Others have adopted kids and do not advertise it to the world. I am just waiting for her to shift again. I cannot see how you can go from wearing one man's blood around your neck to being Mother Teresa overnight unless you found salvation, and it was not advertised she found it.

A perfectly normal looking lady came in late for bible study and why did she start basically getting excited before she could hear what the preacher was talking about. I dont have a problem with people getting their shout on, but it usually doesn't happen in bible study. I think she was either faking it or she was crazy. I question her b/c she was making so much noise from the beginning, she could not know what he was talking about. When I was walking back to my care i saw her walking making some noise which sounded like a cross b/w speaking in tongues and breathing while in labor.
