Your Teen's Brain on Drugs, Alcohol, and TextingThe latest research shows that the adolescent brain is a work in progress until age 24, with potentially devastating consequences.
TUESDAY, May 1, 2012 — It's been a banner week for anyone interested in what's going on in the minds of teenagers.
The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) is wrapping up its annual meeting on child health today in Boston, and researchers there unveiled some eyebrow-raising studies highlighting the risky behavior of adolescents. Separate from the PAS conference, two new studies offer insight into what may drive adolescents to engage in these risky behaviors.
Here's our summary of notable findings on adolescent health from the PAS meeting. We bring this to you on the cusp of prom and graduation season.
Teens Exposed to Alcohol Ads More Likely to Binge Drink
Exposure to alcohol ads was linked to a greater likelihood of drinking and heavier drinking, according to a survey of 2,541 youths conducted by researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital in New Hampshire. Overall results showed 59 percent of the youths had tried alcohol, and of those drinkers 49 percent binge drank within the past year. Beyond familiarity with alcohol ads, drinkers were more likely to be older, have a favorite alcohol ad, have friends who drink, and parents who drink alcohol weekly.
"While this study cannot determine which came first — the exposure to advertising or the drinking behavior — it does suggest that alcohol advertising may play a role in underage drinking, and the standards for alcohol ad placement perhaps should be more strict," concluded lead study author Dr. Susanne E. Tanski.
Cell Phones, Teens, and Driving: A Deadly Combination
Two studies presented at the PAS meeting highlight the dangers when teen drivers hit the road with mobile devices. Driving while anticipating a phone call or message is enough to distract teen drivers, increasing the risk of a crash, a study from the University of Washington showed. And high school students from Oklahoma presented research that texting while driving is unsafe, even for teens who are expert texters.
Using driving simulators, 30 students ages 15 to 19 "drove" under three different scenarios: without a phone; with a phone hidden, so they surreptitiously had to look at it; and with a phone placed wherever they wanted. While texting, the simulations showed, the teens had more near crashes with other cars and pedestrians, and they drifted out of their lane more often.
Inside the Teen Brain
But why, despite numerous public health campaigns to curb teen drinking and improve teen driving, do some young people still engage in risky behaviors?
While their bodies might seem adult, their brains don't fully mature until their mid-20s, says an article published last week in the British medical journal The Lancet. Researchers from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and the University of Melbourne in Australia write that adolescents are more prone to "hot cognitions," meaning that excitement and stress influence their decisions more than they do in adults.
Delving even deeper into the teen brain, newly discovered differences in brain networks help determine why some teens experiment with drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes while others abstain, says research published in Nature Neuroscience. Using data from the single-largest brain-imaging study ever — involving 1,896 14-year-olds — researchers found distinct neural networks related to impulse control and inhibition.
"We found that an area of the brain, near the front, right above the eyes, was hypoactive — so there was less activity in those kids who used alcohol and drugs than in those kids who hadn't used anything," Robert Whelan of the University of Vermont psychiatry department, one of the study's co-authors, told Everyday Health.
"There are lots of other factors that contribute to the decision of whether one uses drugs or not," he says. "For example, environmental factors. There are also the factors of peer groups and genetic factors. So all we've really done is answered one small part of this question as to why teenagers might start taking drugs."
Once teens engage in risky behavior, can the downhill slide be stopped?
"Inherent traits can be changed," says Whelan. "The brain is actually quite malleable ... the adolescent brain is still developing. There are lots and lots of interventions now, for people trying to teach kids how to exercise more self control.
"Really, what we want to do, is to train kids to have better impulse control in a range of situations."

Hi Esther
I've started late. After dabbling in a few creative outlets, I was convinced a career in g-design was for me.
I scored a job at an exhibition company. Not a day goes by where I don feel lucky to be employed as a graphic designer.
Its an entry level job and the hours are very long. The briefs require a good level of mind reading and my skill set is growing rapidly.
Aside from preparing concepts for print and production, I also film and interview exhibitors. The footage is later edited and published, on the company's website, by yours truly.
My conundrum is that I feel unappreciated. I'm grateful for the experience but I don't really get involved in concept development.
Are these feelings normal in my awkward years of graphic design?
Should I look elsewhere, or keep learning and developing on the job?
Any light you could shed, would be greatly valued.
It sounds as though you might be trying to run at sprint speed over a marathon. Pace yourself.
Just because you started a little late doesn't mean you have to make up for "lost" time!
Being keen is great, and employers will always take advantage of that. But you're in danger of ending up with no time to work on ideas because you're too busy taking care of the back end.
You need to make time to develop the creative side, not just your production skills.
But you are picking up extremely useful experiences and skill sets, so it cuts both ways. My guess your employers recognise your value and are just taking a bit of advantage of you, because you are so willing.
Take stock.
By pulling together your cv and your folio, it forces you to look at your job more objectively and where it's taking you. You may or may not have more to learn where you are, or it might be a good time to go.
Work out how you would sell yourself to your next employer. You will see which areas you need to develop, and how to emphasise the direction/s you wish to pursue. And you will know whether you are in the right place to keep growing, or whether you have learned all you can and need to work in a place that can provide more opportunities to develop your ideas.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
You can ask Esther Clerehan anything about putting your book together, getting a job, what salary to ask for or what to do when someone steals your ideas. Go on, Ask Esther. There is no other creative recruiter with more experience to educate us on the art of the job hunt. You can email her here at junior at firstname.lastname@example.com (wtf null@null lifeatthebottom NULL.com).Tweet

Wood Green Investment Framework
Project Name
Wood Green Investment Framework
London Borough of Haringey
Urban | Living | Public
Fluid were appointed by the London Borough of Haringey in April 2015 to lead a team consisting of Aecom and Cushman & Wakefield to develop an Investment Framework (IF) for Wood Green.
Wood Green has the potential for significant growth and development that will benefit from the arrival of Crossrail 2 and the area has a number of strategic brownfield and regeneration sites that offer significant potential for new jobs and homes. There is opportunity to diversify the retail and commercial offer, improve the urban realm and provide new and enhanced community facilities.
The IF will inform the Council's Area Action Plan and will provide a detailed and proactive policy framework to guide development, regeneration and investment over the next 25 years.
The IF will set out a vision for how this can be realised spatially, and will describe in detail the financial practicalities of its delivery including matters such as land assembly, land acquisition, disposals, the cost of relocating the council to new premises and the timing and responsibilities for delivering infrastructure.
The vision is for Wood Green to be known as more than a destination for shopping. The Investment framework will be forward looking and provide for a balanced community where there are places to live, work, play and shop. A network of improved pedestrian routes will unite currently disconnected areas and help bind together new retail, working, living and leisure destinations whilst new landscaping will allow greenery to once again become part of the areas identity.
The team have recently completed the Issues and Options stage which represents the first stage in the Area Action Plan's production. It identifies the key issues, challenges and opportunities facing the area and uses the four different options to explain how these challenges might be addressed and opportunities realised. The options will be consulted on at a number of events from February 22nd – March 19th.

Skunks are animals that have a very distinctive look and are one of the most outstanding animals in the world. A skunk's full black body and white stripe down its back is full warning to everyone close by. These animals are unlike other animals that need to camouflage themselves because they have a very deadly defense mechanism. The spray that skunks release can go as far as 15 feet, which means that skunk removal becomes an imminent procedure if one gets into your home, business or even your yard.
A skunk's scent is so deadly, it causes blindness, temporarily and because most people are afraid of this odor, skunks will traipse around as if they own the place. These little creatures also scare easily and as such, it is recommended that you hire an expert skunk removal company such as Critter Ridder to take care of your skunk problem.

A mother from Europe has mummified the body of her 22-year-old son who died 18 years ago.
According to a report in Mail Online, Tsiuri Kvaratskhelia pickled her son Joni Bakaradze's with the help of alcohol and stored his body in the basement of her house in Georgia, eastern Europe.
The dedicated mother took care of her son's body all these years so that Bakaradze's son could grow up to love his father. The body was stored in a wooden coffin, beneath the family home.
"He wanted his kid to see him that way," she explained. "I believe from that point on the kid started to love his father."
Kvaratskhelia's son died in the year 1995 due to unknown reasons and ever since the death, his mother changes his clothes every year on his birthday. She stopped it four years ago because the body had decayed to that extent.
The body can be viewed from outside the basement through a little window so that family, friends and passersby can have a look at the body once in a while.
According to Kvaratskhelia, she has learnt new tricks to keep the body intact with time.
"One night I had a dream when a voice told me to treat Joni by rubbing alcohol. So from then on, I've being using wet sheets dipped in alcohol to preserve the body," she said. "You must not leave the body without the sheets overnight as the skin will turn black as charcoal."
"He was a good man, a good husband, not the way he is now", she added.
However, now after 18 years of caring, Bakaradze's body is now beginning to decompose as Kvaratskhelia is also growing old and increasingly falling sick.
"I was sick lately and could not tend to his body. That had an effect on him", she said.
"My son is handsome. When I use the sheets, his skin will be white again and everything will be normal", she added.

Area of Squares and Rectangles with Geoboards
Here's a great starter lesson with geoboards: figuring out the area of squares and rectangles.
In the above picture I threw in some square inch tiles so that it is really easy to figure out the area of the rubber band square, just by counting. This also teaches early multiplication skills because we are looking at a 4 x 4 array.
Here's another example, this time with a rectangle. To find the area of this rectangle kids can count the squares or…
…They can transition into just multiplying 2 x 4.
So now we've got an activity that teaches shapes, counting, area and multiplication all in the same lesson. You could do this with your four year old, or your nine year old, and they would both get something out of it.

Before I met my husband, I vowed to find a partner who was also an endurance athlete. For no other reason than simply to be in a relationship with someone who didn't question early Saturday morning long runs, my need for at least a half a dozen pairs of running shoes, and understood exactly why a taper week could make me so irritable. Not only did I find that in Geoff, but I also scored a Continue reading →
Running Mom Guilt: Why You Should Let It Go
More painful than inner thigh chafing, more agonizing than the thought of a lactate threshold test, more stressful than getting caught in a long line of runners on a single track trail when you are trying to beat a time cutoff, is the guilt running moms often feel for taking time away from their family to train or race. Whether self inflicted or a guilt imposed by family, friends, or society as a Continue reading →
Thirty Two Training Posts.
I think the very first time the idea of finishing a 100 mile foot race crossed my mind was sometime in 2015. Geoff and I had signed up for the inaugural Infinitus 48 hour race hosted by our friends at the Endurance Society, equal parts "FOMO" and equal parts on a whim. I foolishly thought "100 miles in 48 hours? That's nothing" assuming that such a long time frame to finish would compensate Continue reading →
7 Steps to the Perfect Trail Wedding

Experienced Probate and Estate Administration Lawyers
Ashenfelter, Slous, Trembulak, McDonough, Golia & Trevenen, LLP provides representation in probate and estate administration matters. We can provide step-by-step advice to family members and executors to simplify and speed up the process. Our experienced estate administration lawyers handle these cases regularly, and are knowledgeable about the requirements that must be met.
If you live out of the area, but need assistance in New Jersey Probate Court, we can represent you.
We Guide You Through the Probate Process
Probate is the legal process that you go through after someone dies. During this process the property and assets of the decedent's estate are transferred to the heirs according the will, if one existed. It is generally a straightforward process, but it can become complex if the will is unclear or if there are disputes to settle. In cases where there was no will the probate process is still used, but the courts determine how the property is to be divided, based on the law.
We can assist executors or family members with any of the tasks associated with probate, including:
- Marshalling assets (taking inventory of and determining the value of assets)
- Distributing assets according to the will
- Filing New Jersey state and inheritance tax returns
- Paying any outstanding taxes or debts
- Counseling heirs and executors on tax issues
- Resolving will contests or disputes
- Addressing estate litigation matters

Copyright Infringement
It's more annoying than I can say to keep discovering my posts have been copied to some dubious website that exists purely for ad revenue. The lastest culprit is http://www.ukasian.co.uk/, a hideous looking site that just grabs any old content and then hopes to gain readers and cash in on ad revenue. Although my site is tentatively protected by copyright law, actually pursuing a copyright claim is nigh on impossible. Bascially, you have to go to the site's host – in this instance, The Planet. Of all hosts, The Planet is the one I most often come up against. They don't do anything – they aren't interested and they insist on all kinds of hoop jumping before they will even investigate a claim, no matter how much information you put in your original email. What The Planet asks if you want to submit a copyright infringement abuse complaint is that you complete a DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) Form, which is rather full of legalese that I would guess the average blogger (such as myself) would struggle over somewhat. It feels like it is designed to put you off complaining, although I suspect once you have waded through one, you will pretty much be able to do it again and again. It is actually the case that DMCA is a US copyright law and how it holds up in the UK is anyone's guess. But, my site is UK based and the perpetrator's host is in the US. Does that make UK bloggers bound to fulfil DMCA obligations? Really, the whole thing is so complicated as to be unbelievable. I have tried to find answers on the internet to some of these questions – one thing leads to another and another with no clarity at the end of it. When you've jumped through all the hoops, you'll receive an email from The Planet saying they may not even let you know whether they've investigated or taken any action. Gee, thanks. How helpful.
I've issued warning letters to http://www.ukasian.co.uk/ (please don't click through and perpetrate this site's existence) which reads:
You must remove all posts on www.ukasian.co.uk that have been taken without permission from www.britishbeautyblogger.com with immediate effect. You are served from now with a legally binding Cease & Desist order in consultation with lawyers.
Subject: Notice of Copyright Infringement
The copyrighted work at issue is the text that appears on http:/ukasian.co.uk which is taken without permission from www.britishbeautyblogger.com.
The URLs where our copyrighted material is located include http://ukaisan.co.uk at various locations within the site.
You can reach me on email@example.com for further information or clarification.
I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
If you are having copyright issues, please do feel free to use this as a template. In some instances it can do the trick, but hardcore ad sites that fish your posts won't really care. I had to file this to Ukasian via their facebook site as, of course, there are no contact details on the website – a sure sign that something's up!
Anyway, if this is happening to you, I'd love to know how you deal with it. I'm hoping to speak to someone who might be able to help guide us a bit more effectively; if and when I do, I'll issue a full guide.
Ironically, because ukasian.co.uk grabs any old post, it will probably grab and display this one!

It's happened to me before & it annoyed me but apart from a strongly worded email i could do nothing, what i love is they dont even edit it in the slightest, i've seen BBB on a post! idiots!!
How annoying. How did you find it on there? Hope you get a proper and professional rsponce this time x
How did you know your content had be re-published on that site hun? Any one of our posts gunna be being taken and re-used by someone else as their own, but I dont know how we'd ever find out?
Hi Jo..I only know if I am surfing the web or key in something I know I had as an exclusive on a search..and of course if other people are kind enough to let me know.
And Computer Girl…no response..and I won't get one either because I haven't filed a DCMA.
If you can get their address from the domain records, it sometime works if you send them an invoice for £100 for each copied piece. I've tried it a few times, and though haven't been paid, sometimes it gets the work taken down.
It is an annoying task though.
THis has happened to me as well, from a nigerian site!
The worst of all? I couldn't get them beacuse the only email they had on the site was MINE!
In fact, i'm getting all sorts of nigerian spamming crap in my junk folder! 🙁
I had a great big huge long comment here, with a link to a place for more, clearer, information about filing DMCA complaints (I've most definitely waded through all of that), but it appears that Blogger ate it.
Short points:
The web host is perhaps being less helpful than they could be, but there's a reason why they're not always proactive – and there are ways to give them enough ammunition without you tearing your hair
Check the website chillingeffects.org for more information on filing DMCA notices
Over the next few weeks I'll be publishing a series of posts on how to file proper copyright-violation notices (and including a form letter bloggers can use), how to protect your images, how to block image hotlinking, et cetera.
Sorry, I forgot to say, please don't publish my help.
I don't particulary want to be known for this kind of thing. 🙂
I am soft and cuddly deep down.
This has happened to me too! It grabbed stuff from tons of bloggers though; lotuspalace, pinksith, nonblonde, rougedeluxe. SO annoying.
OMG they don't even try to hide the fact that they're plagarising! How annoying… I hope after reading this post they stop :- [
It sucks so much that this happened to you.
I wish you luck sorting it out.
Hi Jane,
That site is awful! I'm not surprised you're annoyed at finding your blog posts on there.
It looks like they're scraping your blog posts through your Feedburner feed. (They're basically subscribing to yours and loads of other bloggers' feeds and automatically publishing it all on the ukasian site, instead of subscribing to the feed for personal use only). If you notice in their articles, there is still a link at the bottom of the article to your original blog post on BBB.
I just looked this up, and apparently there is a name for these fake blogs that just scrape other people's content – they're called "splogs".
You'll be able to see other potential splogs when you log into Feedburner. Look under "Uncommon Uses" in the Analyze tab.
You can try preventing splogs from stealing your content by turning off Yahoo Pipes (when logged in to your Feedburner account, go to the Publicize tab, then NoIndex in the left hand options. From there, check the option "Indicate that your feed should not be used by Yahoo! Pipes" and then activate this new setting. But make sure that you *uncheck* "Indicate that your feed should not be indexed by search engines" because you don't want to stop Google from finding your posts for their search results.
I don't know whether the above will stop all splogs from stealing your content, but it's worth a try. I've just gone through the above steps myself too.
Hope that helps.
I am training to be a solicitor and have done a bit of intellectual property law. I'm not fully trained so please don't take my advice as gospel, it's just what I know myself!
First of all, I would not bother trying to fill in the Planet's own claim form. Particularly if it only applies to US law. You don't need to jump through their hoops to file a claim against them. They should not be investigating a claim against themselves anyway.
Secondly, bringing a claim against them will obviously be very expensive. It might not be worth it if you don't make money from your blog, which I presume you don't. One option might be to file a class action against them with a group of other bloggers who have also had their copyright infringed. Another could be to file a claim with the Intellectual Property Office. You could also try the Citizens Advice Bureau.
It is totally unfair and they know that by picking on bloggers they are unlikely to face any comeback, which is why they do it. If you can find any way to challenge them, please do.
Just out of curiosity, you have authorised your content on Wellsphere haven't you? As it has a link back I assume it is a legitimate use of your stuff.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Inkjet Cartridges and other Printer Ink topics.
Recycling has become a standard for many offices and all but law in many areas. As aware as everyone is becoming of the needs to recycle, small things are still too often overlooked. Recycling aims to reduce the waste we create from such things as plastics and chemicals, both of which are in every inkjet cartridge on the market. Next time you have an empty inkjet cartridge you are about to toss in the trash think about a few things.
First, there are now companies that recycle inkjet cartridges. Many even will offer discounts on new cartridges in exchange for your used ones. This saves the manufacturer from the need to produce more plastics and saves you money, so everyone wins.
Recycling an inkjet cartridge doesn't need to involve a manufacturer. You can simply recycle them with the rest of your plastics in your normal recycling bin at home. As important as it is for the future, don't neglect to recycle that inkjet cartridge instead of throwing it in with the garbage.

so i just noticed that my convict had babies .. i believe it mated with my blood parrot because they're always around the babies protecting them .. i have no clue on what to do with them .. whats the procedure on raising baby fish?
Blood Parrots are supposed to be sterile, not fertile. What are your other fish?
I have to admit I used to have a jellybean parrot(which is fertile) mating with my albino convict.:crazy:
jellybean parrot? is that like an albino blood parrot? my, what i assume is a blood parrot, isnt orange .. could i possibly have a jellybean parrot also? i have a tiger oscar, jack dempsey, knifefish, and a pleco in the tank with them
i'll try to post pics up later .. but what should i do? is raising babies easy to do? i really want to see how they turn out i.e color pattern and shape
You can hatch brine shrimps if you like.
do you suggest removing the babies and putting them in a separate tank?
how would i take them out? with something like a baster? would i put the parents in the tank with them too?

Chaman Lal Chaman sings the praises of a naturopathy clinic in South India, which is working wonders for its celebrity and other patients.
I don't know how long it will take to fully realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Swatch Bharat' (Clean India) campaign. But if you want to see a corner of super clean India, come with me and I will take you to Jindal Naturecure Institute (JNI) in Bangalore, which speaks louder than any 'Clean India' slogan ever could.
JNI is a health institute and naturopathy clinic where Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, went to have his chronic cough treated towards the end of last year.
So I wonder: will this centre of health rejuvenation consider treating India's many parliamentarians suffering from constant waves of cacophony in the Lok Sabha? I am sure the institute's highly competent naturopaths will be able to fix the politicians' vocal chords, adjusting the modulation of their voices from shouting to talking.
As well as Kejriwal, various well-known personalities—including the former cricketer and TV commentator Navjot Siddhu, and actors Juhi Chawla, Raj Babar and Imran Hashmi—have benefited from the services of this institute, which is the brainchild of Dr Sita Ram Jindal, an eminent industrialist and philanthropist from Haryana.
Born in a small village in Hisar district, Jindal is one of the five brothers who founded a joint family business, Jindal (India) Limited, a steel tube plant in Hisar. When the brothers separated amicably, Dr Sita Ram Jindal migrated to Bangalore, where he set up Jindal Aluminium Ltd, an eco-friendly wind power project producing 12.64 MW of electricity.
Bangalore, the garden city of India, is a leading hub of the IT industry and is known as the birthplace of Nobel Laureate Sir CV Raman and Girish Karnad, a renowned actor and writer who also served as the director of Nehru Centre, London.
A devotee of Radha Swami, Dr Jindal has dedicated Jindal Naturecure Institute to its former guru Savan Singh, in whose name a beautiful garden has been created. The institute has a board of directors and is managed by a team of efficient pro-active doctors, naturopaths, nurses and a host of administrative staff, headed by a warm chief executive, Dr K K Ghosh, with Dr Babina Nandakumar, the institute's chief medical officer, and heads of various departments such as yoga and a naturopathy dieting centre.
Surrounded by a beautiful lake with boating facilities, the institute has a varied programme of regular therapies, starting with early morning walks. It also offers the Ayurvedic practice of pranayam, breathing exercises, meditation, laughter sessions, yoga and a series of other activities throughout the day.
The hundred-acre campus has accommodation for over 200 patients with strict code of discipline. Alcohol, smoking, tobacco chewing or pan are strictly prohibited, and all abusers of the system are expelled. Patients are served fresh organic vegetarian food, produced on-site, and there is a strict ban on outside food. All meals are calorie controlled as prescribed by the naturopath or doctor. n

DO you know Increase Your Height After 25 Years of Age is possible with 5 easy ways. Everyone desires of having a perfect personality. Among all the important personality traits, height plays an important role. Having a pleasing height is everyone's desire. However, in women the height increases up to the age of 18 and it is 24 in men. The hormone named Human Growth Hormone is responsible for the increase in height. It is generally secreted by pituitary gland in the human body.
Increase in height can be observed as the hormones which released naturally are responsible for it. After attaining adulthood, the production of hormones steadily becomes slow and stops as the age increases. Biologically in most cases, the epiphyses of the long bones are fused as the last bits of cartilaginous tissue in the bones which turns into solid hard bones. Due to this, the further growth stops in the longer bones.
After the age of 25, the hormones stop functioning and hence the growth in bones also stops. However, to get a pleasing height, there are many medications and treatments which promise the growth in adults. But this can be potentially dangerous for the adult body. On the contrary to this, there are few tricks and tips which can help you enhance your height in a natural way and you can appear taller without any side-effect.
Follow the tips given below for safer tricks to increase the height-
1. Balance Diet and Proper Nutrition
- For an attractive height, balanced and proper diet along with the nutritions play an important role for the body. These help your body to function properly and absorb the required vitamins, minerals and nutrients to incorporate them into your system for the proper growth and height. For a proper growth, a balance diet should be rich in phosphorus, magnesium, iodine, and calcium which are very important.
- Trans-fats and saturated fats should be avoided as these are difficult to digest and also restricts the absorption of nutrients. Following is the list of food items which are rich in protein, carbohydrates, amino acids, and calcium that are required for healthy growth and development.
- Egg yolk, carrots, beef, green vegetables, liver, fish, almonds and peanuts, potatoes, peas, chicken, beans, milk and dairy products, fruits like apple and banana, and many more.
- The calcium is one of main of all which highly contributes for the proper growth and development of body. To stay healthy and keep the maintenance of your bones, it becomes important to include dairy products in your daily diet whether in breakfast or late evening. Not just children are advisable for having dairy products, but adults should regularly have them to stay healthy and keep the bones strong.
2.Vitamin D: An Exposure to Sunlight
For vitamin D, sun is the major sources and this vitamin contributes to the height a lot because of its effects on bone growth. Late afternoon and early morning are the favourable timings when you can give the required dose of Vitamin D to your body. These two are the best timings for sunbathing as the ultraviolet radiations are emitted at its lowest during this period and your body is completely safe for its exposure.

3. Regular Exercising
This is the most important not just to stay healthy, but regular exercising and stretching is recommended for everyone. Whether it is a 30 minutes' walk, or running on the tracks, this is very crucial for a healthy being. Among all the exercising tips, swimming and cycling helps enhancing the height in a better way.
4. Yoga
Besides exercising, some Yoga and meditation traits can also help increasing the height after 25 years of age. However, yoga is always recommended to be practiced maintaining the correct posture. In fact, not just the height, but it helps maintaining the overall growth of the body. Here are some yoga postures, which may help in body growth-
- Tadasana– This position of yoga helps in lengthening the spine and is also known as mountain pose.
- Bhujanga– This is also known as cobra pose, and practicing this position may help you maintain a longer spine while moving, sitting, standing and thus, helps increasing the height.
- Stretching– Stretching on the daily basis after bathing keeps your body flexible. Starting from your fingertips, through the shoulders and hips till all the way towards toes. It should be practiced with repetition for at least 3-5 minutes.
5. Have Complete Sleep
Having adequate sleep is very important for a healthy being. Biologically the growth hormones function lengthening and thickening during the deep sleep. Besides this, the correct sleeping posture is also plays a vital role for the development and growth of bones. So, it is always advisable to have a peaceful and deep sleep on the regular basis. Though, it can be difficult to increase the height after the age of 25 but it is not impossible at all. So, follow the above simple tips and adopt them in your regular life to increase your height, although staying healthy as well.

Windward Community College
Hale 'Ākoakoa 101-105
45-720 Kea'ahala Road, Kāne'ohe
Hawai'i Council for the Humanities and Windward Community College presented a second TALK program that continued to look at the book Ē Luku Wale Ē: Devastation Upon Devastation to bring forth dialogue that explores recent history featuring one of the original archaeologists who worked on field research and excavations of the vast agricultural system and the Kukuiokāne heiau beneath Keahiakahoe. This discussion program explored where we are today in the field of cultural archaeology, and what is being done to take care and nurture public place and space.
Scott Williams will share his perspective on what happened before construction on the H-3 freeway began in the 1990s and talk about his role and fieldwork findings while working as the Bishop Museum's senior staff archaeologist on the Ha'ikū Valley side of what was to be the H-3 freeway structure. Scott currently resides in Washington state and is the cultural resources program manager of the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Kapulani Landgraf will talk about her research in the field and at repositories where artifacts and field notes from the H-3 project are contained, and how she used those resources to inform the book Ē Luku Wale Ē as well as how the project has continued to resonate in her work as an artist. Kapulani is an assistant professor of Hawaiian visual art and photography at Kapiʻolani Community College.
Kekuewa Kikiloi will present where archaeology is today after the construction of the H-3 freeway. Kekuewa represents a new generation of archaeologists who take into account indigenous knowledge, resource management and cultural revitalization while researching and studying human activity. He is an assistant professor at the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
Hi'ilei Kawelo, executive director of PaePae o He'eia, will represent the community and the rebuilding of Kāne'ohe's Hawaiian culture, specifically in the Ha'ikū Valley and He'eia region. Her perspective of caring for the land will broaden the discussion and show that what happened in the past can inspire us to continue to care for our Hawai'i today.

Ē Luku Wale Ē: Devastation Upon Devastation, by Piliāmo'o, a collaborative name for photographers Mark Hamasaki and Kapulani Landgraf, visually documents sacred sites, as they were and as they are erased; to tell the history of a massive engineering project that created the H-3 freeway–a route that traverses people and cars from Hālawa Valley through the Ko'olau range, emerging above Ha'ikū Valley, winding its way down into Kāne'ohe; and to visually and verbally lament the loss of what was and what had deep meaning to Native Hawaiians.

One Hungry Mama Makes a Pie0

By Stacie Billis, One Hungry Mama Baking with kids is a holiday tradition for many families—but, sometimes, the reality isn't as much fun as the idea of it. The mess and stress of baking with kids can take away the fun, so being prepared is a must. Depending on your child's age, prepping just a few things ahead of time can make all the difference and bring joy back to a family tradition. One of my favorite things to make ahead is pie dough. When it's time to get in the kitchen to make Thanksgiving pies with my kids, I pull out one or two rounds for "serious" pie making, and another one that my littlest can play with.

OBERLIN, OH -- A gun fight in one Lorain County community is drawing controversy.
Oberlin city leaders must decide whether to keep a local gun ordinance that is different from Ohio's concealed carry law. The current Oberlin law prohibits guns in city parks, which has been on the books for 15 years.
Gun rights advocates gathered at Park Street Park in Oberlin Sunday to say that the Oberlin gun ban should be repealed. They say it conflicts with Ohio law that allows people to carry guns in public places, including parks.
Gary Witt with Ohioans for Concealed Carry said if laws differ from community to community, those who carry guns could be subject to arrest.
"What the state has done has made everything uniform throughout the state. When the legislature passed the law, the people of Oberlin and the council of Oberlin didn't want to respect that," Witt added.
John Blocker of Oberlin was enjoying the day at the park with his wife and two sons. Seeing people openly carrying guns in the park did startle him at first.
The gun rights gathering came one day before Oberlin City Council is to decide whether to rescind the local law banning guns in parks.
"So, if they do not repeal that law and it stays on the books, then these people could not be here with weapons, or they still could because the state law supersedes it? That's kind of confusing to me," Blocker said.
Oberlin resident Michael Fritz said he realizes the city law is in conflict with state law, but that Oberlin City Council should keep the law in place.
"I am approaching this from a spirit of neighborliness and communitarianism where I think most people would agree there really is no need to be walking around in the park with guns," Fritz added.
Oberlin City Council is expected to vote on the gun ban issue Monday night.

When my second son was born instead of implementing wall painting ideas I decided to do a splatter technique on the linoleum in his bedroom ( Picasso style ).
Before beginning your wall painting ideas be sure to read the safety and basics pages of this web site. Bold words in brackets are areas that will assist you in your painting techniques and projects.
TIME: 300 sq ft wall area per hour (2 Coats)
TOOLS: Drywall knife, caulk/gun, brushes/cut can, ladder, roller/cage/pole/, tray/liner, drops, pencil, measuring tape, two 2 ft by 2 ft sheets of thick cardboard sewing pins,.
PRODUCTS: Drywall mud, caulking, tray liners, tape, roll of plastic, spray can of stain blocker Cotton rag, rubber gloves.
PAINT: Primer for floors and if needed for the walls( 300 to 400 sq ft per gallon) base coat for walls(300 to 400 sq ft per gallon). One gallon of clear coat (Floors 300 to 400 sq ft per gallon) Three quarts or smaller of complementing accent colors.The amount of paint used depends on the size of the room being painted.(estimate paint)
COST: $100.00 to $150.00 (not including tools) 150 sq Ft of wall painting ideas or floor space (estimating Time).
For your wall painting ideas (and floors) I suggest using a test board before starting since it's some what difficult to get a precise vision of the completed look. To begin, paint a couple coats of base coat color onto both sides of two pieces of primed cardboard or bristol board. Insert sewing pins in the corners of the board if needed. The pins act as legs and help speed up the drying time.I used a white base coat on my boys floors then accentuated the area with primary colors, darker tones will also work if you prefer. Midnight blue splattered with a yellow gold and toped off with a burgundy might be interesting.Once your test sheets have dried you can start applying your complementary colors to them.If your doing a floor project dip a small brush into an accent tone then quickly pull it out and let the paint spill onto your base colored test boards. Move the brush up and down or in circles. Go with what will look good. For your wall painting ideas lean the test board against a protected wall and throw the colors on (more info below).Do the same with each successive tone until your happy with the out come. The process will not give an exact picture of how your walls will look. Still, by testing your chosen accents you'll know if your colors are complementing to each other.Prior to jazzing up your drywall or floors be sure to read the
ragging page.
By doing so you won't miss any of those important wall design steps.
Splattering the walls:
Before painting an area (a girls bedroom for example), remove as many objects out of the room as possible. Keep in mid too that you will get some on your shoes so don't forget and go running through the house to start some different wall painting ideas.Mask off the baseboards along with any other object you don't want paint on ( light switches doors etc.Place drop cloths on the floor and on top of any furniture or objects you couldn't move ( old sheets or drapes work well).Put on some rubber gloves and be sure your choice of clothing is disposable.Follow the instructions for taping the wall for a border (ragging). Unroll the plastic around the room in a circle. By laying the plastic out first you won't need to pull on the roll while up on a ladder. Tape the edge of the rolled plastic to the upper part of the walls (spraying). Use a sharp utility knife to cut the plastic at the level where the border is going to divide the room.Remember to use tape and plastic to cover doors, jams, casing and windows. The object is to guard surfaces you don't want being splattered with your wall painting ideas.If the lower part of the room needs a couple extra coats you'll need to cut (edge or brush) and roll it on.Now that all the important stuff is protected and the base coats are dry your ready to begin your wall painting ideas.Open your first can of accent. In a fast side arm throwing motion propel the paint towards the wall. Do this around the room. Try different angles if you like. Keep your arm horizontally and swipe the brush through the air towards the floor.The reason for doing it this way is to keep from decorating the ceiling. Unless you want to splatter the stipple then you go right ahead. Keep going with each color. This technique is so much fun to do you wont want to stop. I do suggest staying away from the car. Unless it's the neighbors. You know the ones who borrow stuff all the time. There cat uses your lawn as a litter box. They have the big Doberman and it barks all night long.Then again maybe you better go back to the wall painting ideas and stay away from there car to.
Splattering the floors:
The splattering technique is by far one of your easiest floor or wall painting ideas. It'll take some drying time between coats but in the end you'll be happy with your finished decor.Remove everything from the room. Cover the base boards and the lower parts of any doors (2' ft up) with tape ( 2'' is best). An exit out of the room is needed. When you use news or masking paper to protect the lower parts of the doors be sure you can still get out of the room.Mop the area with cleaner and warm water then apply a de-glosser which is found at most hardware stores or you could pole sand the floor instead. If you do purchase a pole sander it'll also work well for your wall painting ideas.Test a small inconspicuous spot with 100 grit sandpaper (where the bed or a dresser sits). Your trying to get rid of the shine not scratch the surface. You can use a hand sander but Its a bit on the why does my elbow feel like a noodle side.If the floor surface is already dull just clean it.With a brush and roller coat the floor using the best primer you can buy.Be sure to tell your paint store person what your project entails. For example is it wood, linoleum, concrete, or 1970 green shag carpet. Whatever your floor or wall painting ideas are they should be able to help you out.Have the primer tinted to the color you've selected for your base coat. By doing so it saves a step and leaves a few bucks in your pocket.When the primer is dry place a folded drop cloth just outside the door you'll be using to leave the room. I suggest wearing clean socks as opposed to shoes for this job.Position your tools and paint accents on top of the cloth.Carry your first color and a 1 or 2 inch wide sash brush to the farthest corner of the room. Working your way back towards the exit dip the brush into the paint quickly pull it out letting color drizzle over the primed floor. Twirl your hand and arm creating your very own unique designs.If you did the test boards you'll have an idea for the technique to use.Let each layer dry before adding the next.When buying your accent colors ask for a durable quick drying product. If it's warm enough in the house you should be dripping on colors every three or four hours or so.Keep in mind that your not covering the entire surface between applications.After the creativity is complete and your paint has dried, top coat at least twice using a water based clear coat (or epoxy) thats made for high traffic areas.

Dad told us part of the full story yesterday before he went for part two of his job interview at the charter school: It would be three to five days before the PT Cruiser is repaired, I'm guessing because the parts aren't as readily available, being that Chrysler doesn't make the car anymore.
Mom told us the rest of the story last night: AAA wanted to leave them at the side of the road to make their own way back after the PT Cruiser was towed. The tow truck driver did not agree, and drove them back to Fiesta Henderson. Neither did the woman at AAA, who said she would consult with her boss about that. We now have a contact at AAA there, and Meridith and I learned that the guidebooks you get from AAA are in a vending machine there. Inside, there's guidebooks for the states surrounding Nevada, and a large map of the United States.
It's been an eventful stay for them thus far. At Fiesta Henderson, Mom had to call downstairs again to get someone to fix the toilet and the showerhead. The former keeps running, and the latter drips for a long time after Dad gets out of the shower at night, and that makes it hard for Mom to sleep. But, there have been some decent things that have happened to them that have built up their faith that this trip has been worth it. For one, the second part of Dad's job interview went well. The kids were impressed, and so were the higher-ups. The highest higher-up at that school is going to speak to the head honcho at the school in Reno about Dad. It's going to take some more time, which means he won't be signing a contract while he's there. The school understands that because of our distance from Las Vegas in Santa Clarita, Dad can't go back for nothing, so hopefully the next phone call or e-mail from them after he gets back will be the one we've wanted for so long. The head of the school also introduced Dad to the other teachers at lunch and left him to talk to them and ask any questions he wanted.
The owner of the repair shop where the car is being fixed is from Paramus, New Jersey, just like Dad. He said to Mom and Dad that a lot of people living in Henderson are from the East. I like that, because we take our sensibilities from wherever we're from over on that side of the country, and we combine it with the day-to-day experiences of living in a true desert. The physical aspects of the desert, I mean, not emotional ones, because for me, Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, they have everything I could possibly want. There's a writers' group in Henderson, there's the Henderson JCC, the Pinball Hall of Fame is fairly close by, and the libraries in Henderson and Boulder City are so accessible! I don't have to worry that my local library is going to cut itself off from one big system at the whim of a City Council and isolate itself as one tinier branch. Henderson operates on its own, separate from the Clark County system, but at least it has an incredible number of books, and five branches to boot, not just three, as it will be in Santa Clarita.
So we also have a contact at that repair shop whenever our car has any problems. And we have a contact at Hawthorne Suites in Henderson, which was spurred on by the Fiesta Henderson raising its rate for Mom and Dad's room after three days. They can't afford $110 a night, nor the $70 the manager said they could do. Having money for moving is optimal.
Hawthorn Suites is close to Fiesta Henderson, but has many more advantages that are necessary for Mom and Dad, and then for us. For one, you don't have to walk through a casino to get to your room. That's standard for hotels with casinos, especially on the Strip. I know. But for us, future residents, we need our room immediately after a long day of doing whatever will have to be done on the next trip. It has a complimentary breakfast buffet every morning, free local and long-distance calls, free Internet, a free gym, and crucial to us: Pets are allowed. Plus, there's washers and dryers there, and Mom said she's going to use a lot of quarters when they get there, because there's much laundry to be done after these three days. And each room has a microwave, refrigerator, a flat-screen TV, and a DVD player. We should just live there. No doubt we will until Mom and Dad have signed for wherever we live next. We hope it'll be that house in Boulder City.
After that half-hour conversation that lasted until 9:15 (I kept an eye on the clock because I still had to finish my work on the computer), Mom called after 10 and said that she and Dad were back from downstairs at the casino and hadn't won any big jackpots. I told her that the big jackpot for us would be Dad being hired at that school and us taking ownership of that house. That's all we need. She also told us that the manager at the car repair place said that he hopes to be done with the PT Cruiser by Saturday. They have a rental from Enterprise that Mom says is the dirtiest car she's ever seen. It looks like the bastard child of a jeep because the grille mimics the front of a jeep. It has Utah plates, so I had Meridith text them earlier in the evening: "How many wives does it hold?" After they check into Hawthorne Suites, they're going back to Enterprise to get another car.
For Meridith and I, it was a quiet day. She woke up a little after 10 because she had stayed up until 1 a.m. peeling glue from her fingers. I forgot what she had been gluing. It might have been more things in her scrapbook, but I didn't notice.
She spent most of the day folding her huge load of laundry, including four t-shirts I had slipped into the second load, to wear on the weekend. It took her a while because she had other things to do during it, like checking on Tigger, as well as a break for a snack. That load comprised 3/4 of her closet, and for most of the shirts, it had been a long time.
I hate seasons 5 and 6 of The West Wing with a passion. After Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme left the show at the end of season 4, it never got stable under the direction of executive producer John Wells. The characters were no longer how we always knew them, exhibiting traits that were completely foreign to who they were. However, I have found the season 5 episodes with John Goodman as the Acting President, and the episode of the funeral of a former president, and the episode about potential Supreme Court nominees (guest-starring Glenn Close and William Fichtner) fascinating, moreso lately the funeral episode because of my research, and the setting for that fictional presidential library looking exactly like the kind of presidential library I'd like to be at all the time.
I wanted to see The Stormy Present (the funeral episode) again, but didn't want to have to Netflix the third disc of season 5 again. And then I found an e-mail from Amazon touting a massive sale of Warner Bros. DVDs, which I took advantage of, paying $5.49 for Auntie Mame and about a dollar less for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, starring Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. I've never seen it, but it is Sondheim, and that's the automatic attraction.
Seasons of The West Wing were going for $15.99 and a little more up (The priciest are the sixth and seven seasons at $22.99 each), and I thought to myself, "Do I really need season 5, despite my vehement hatred?" No, I don't. I love seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and that's all I need in my collection. But I wanted those particular episodes. Ah, Amazon Instant Video, how I love thee at $1.99 per episode. And that's exactly what I did, and spent most of my day watching those episodes, and certain scenes of The Stormy Present over and over again. I loathe some of the dialogue, I wish that Presidents Bartlet, Newman (James Cromwell) and Walken (Goodman) had more scenes together discussing the weight of the office, however temporary (in Walken's case), but I love the plot and the setting, as it also reminds me of watching Reagan's funeral on TV, and the history of that day.
Reading Cornbread Nation 1: The Best of Southern Food Writing while waiting for Meridith to get her nails done was truly one of the greatest pleasures I've had in Santa Clarita, and there are very few. It may very well be the greatest pleasure because of how peaceful it was. I didn't bring my watch with me, I didn't need to know what time it was, I just wanted to wade in the words that were in front of me. That's all I needed. I'm a simple soul. A good book is my big jackpot.
Dinner was an interesting experience. While sitting on that bench, reading, I had a notion about chicken breast and rice. Chicken breast whole on the plate with rice on the side? Then I thought about the chicken breast cut up and put on top of the rice. The catalyst for this was the bottle of Iron Chef Thai sweet pepper and garlic sauce that had been in the cabinet for months and was reaching its expiration date. Sounds good on chicken and rice, emphasis on "sounds."
Meridith made the dinner, but admitted that she had put in too much sauce after we kept getting major whiffs of heat and then hot, because of the seeds in the sauce. I didn't mind, since the chicken and rice were exactly as I had hoped, though it was brown rice. I don't mind brown rice, but I had thought about white rice, and we didn't have any. It was still good. Meridith struggled to get through the rest in her bowl and I told her not to force herself, to finish what she could and then dump the rest. And she did.
After the phone call from Mom, the rest of the evening was pretty nice. I had Tivo'd The Great Muppet Caper off of Showtime, and we watched some of that up until it was time for bed.
Today is a bigger day for Mom and Dad than it is for us. After checking into Hawthorne Suites and then getting another car from Enterprise, they've got the opportunity explore whatever they want, though I'm sure it'll be the washing machines and dryers at Hawthorne first. We're planning laundry here, too, jackets that haven't been washed in quite a while, and our bedsheets. We figure that since they get fresh sheets at Hawthorne, we should have clean sheets, too.
I still have to vacuum around the house, since Dad asked me to vacuum his and Mom's room after we put new litter in the birds' cages. We did that late yesterday, and all I had time for was to vacuum around the birds' cages since Meridith had to get to that nail salon (called "Ocean Nails Spa") before it closed. Better that she had some time there and didn't have to be rushed, so we left right after we were done.
I also still have to sweep the garage. I prefer sweeping the patio. At least I know what I'm sweeping there. But I'll do it. Mom and Dad asked before they left.
Oh, one more thing. Mom also told me last night that they got me a Las Vegas Weekly, exactly what I wanted and I'm psyched to read it. I also requested the Friday edition of the Las Vegas Review-Journal since the weekend Neon section is in there and I want to finally spend some time reading a local paper, not the barely-two minutes I spend skimming through The Signal since there's never anything interesting to read in there. According to the Hawthorne Suites website, one of the amenities is a "daily complimentary newspaper." I hope that's the Review-Journal. It would save Dad a few coins. We'll definitely subscribe to it after we move here.

For people like me, who enjoys studying computation and cognition from each other's perspectives, two academic job openings have appeared this year that resemble the great job that I am lucky to have. The Carleton position is in cognitive science, whereas the Chicago position focuses on computational linguistics. The deadlines are in this month, unlike the typical opening in pure computer science in North American academia.

The heiress Huguette Clark poses in a Japanese print dress in about 1943, when she was 37.
By Bill Dedman
Investigative Reporter, NBC News
NEW YORK — With one month until trial, settlement negotiations are being held to divide up the $300 million estate of reclusive heiress Huguette Clark. Although her last will and testament stated emphatically that none of her copper fortune should go to her distant relatives, most of whom she never met, the family would receive millions if a deal is struck.
A settlement is not at all certain, and the negotiations have been contentious and complicated, said several of the 60 attorneys involved in the case.
A jury trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 17 in Surrogate's Court in Manhattan, pitting Clark's relatives against the beneficiaries of her will: a charitable foundation, a hospital, Clark's multimillionaire private-duty registered nurse, a goddaughter, attorney, accountant, doctor and several employees.
Huguette (pronounced "oo-GET") Marcelle Clark was the youngest daughter of former U.S. Sen. William Andrews Clark (1839-1925), one of the copper kings of Montana and one of the richest men of the Gilded Age, a railroad builder and founder of Las Vegas. Born in Paris in 1906, Huguette was a shy painter and doll collector who spent her last 20 years living in simple hospital rooms. She attracted the attention of NBC News in 2009 because her fabulous homes in Connecticut, California and New York sat unoccupied but carefully maintained. (See the archive of Clark stories, photos and videos)
After she died at 104 in May 2011, Clark's will was challenged by 19 of her relatives, who contend that she was mentally ill and incompetent, the victim of fraud by her nurse, attorney and accountant. These relatives are descendants from Clark's father's first marriage, the closest to her being half grandnieces and grandnephews. Her will says, "I intentionally make no provision ... for any members of my family ... having had minimal contacts with them over the years."
Fourteen of the 19 said in legal papers that they never met their reclusive aunt. The last time any of them recalled speaking with her in person was in 1957, although some said hello when their parents were on the phone with Huguette on holidays. If a jury throws out the will, they will inherit all her estate, valued conservatively at $307 million, or about $175 million after taxes and fees. She had no children, and no survivors on her mother's side. A 20th Clark relative was found dead of exposure in December under a Wyoming railroad trestle. His heirs will receive his share of any winnings.
Charities are the largest beneficiaries of Clark's will as written, receiving 85 percent of the payout. A Bellosguardo Foundation for the arts, at her summer estate in Santa Barbara, Calif., would receive real estate, nearly all of Clark's paintings, and cash – together worth $124 million, or 71 percent of the estate. The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., would receive a Monet painting from the "Water Lilies" series, appraised at $25 million, or 14 percent.

Next in the will are her registered nurse, Hadassah Peri, receiving $15.3 million after taxes, including the doll collection worth $1.7 million; goddaughter Wanda Styka, $7.9 million; Beth Israel Medical Center, $1 million; attorney Wallace "Wally" Bock, $500,000; personal assistant Christopher Sattler, $370,000; accountant Irving Kamsler, $370,000; property managers John C. Douglas III, $163,000, and Tony Ruggiero, $12,000; and Dr. Henry Singman, $100,000. (Document: Read Huguette Clark's will here.)
The case is a virtual Rubik's Cube of interlocking problems, according to attorneys involved.
John L. Wiley, http://flickr.com/photos/jw4pix/
The mysterious oceanfront home of Huguette Clark in Santa Barbara, Calif., called Bellosguardo, could become an arts institution if her will survives a challenge from her relatives.
- How much would the nurse give up? Peri received more than $31 million in gifts while Clark lived. The estate's administrator is asking for all of that money back. The office of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, which protects charitable interests, is on the side of the will, but the attorney general has been pushing in negotiations for Peri to get little or nothing more, because under law gifts to caregivers are questionable. A spokesperson for the AG's office declined to comment.
- How much would the charities lose? Instead of establishing the Bellosguardo Foundation, an arts charity at the Santa Barbara summer home, called Bellosguardo, the family insists that it be sold. The attorney general's office is siding with letting the foundation have the property. The hospital may accept less than its $1 million. And the cash-strapped Corcoran Gallery could accept only part of its $25 million, instead of the Monet painting.
- How much would satisfy the family? After asking for 75 percent of the estate at first, the family has lowered its negotiating position to 60 percent. The attorney general proposed this week that the family receive about $41 million, or less than a quarter of the estate.
- Will the attorney and accountant renounce their bequests? That step would make it easier for them to testify in support of the will. Although a criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney officially remains open, no one has been charged. Police found that the paper trail supported the attorney and accountant's account that Clark authorized expenses and gifts, writing checks in her own steady hand, the same handwriting that appears on the will.
Bill Dedman is the co-author of "Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune," a book coming out Sept. 10 from Ballantine Books. The co-author is Paul Clark Newell, Jr., Huguette Clark's cousin, who is not involved in the legal contest.

Understanding Personal Injury Lawsuits
Lots of folks are getting to be increasingly more conscious of their rights and prerogatives as free residents of the U.S. This is a good thing for it allows for citizens to act suitably and operate for themselves in cases of maltreatment or any such additional malignant behavior from another individual. The issue of personal injuries is one that makes a lot was known by itself and this is where it gets complicated as the response to these question is not merely one that is easily answered.
State, for example, that an old lady accidentally created your nose bleed after hitting you in the nose with the rear of her hand, merely because she was gesturing too animatedly. Theoretically, you can try and push charges against this woman in order to achieve favor or damages.
Many lawyers offer free consultation services before an attorney-client relationship is created, so you may understand just what you are stepping into.
As well as that pursuing legal action might cause you more stress than necessary, with regard to cases like this. There is no universal legislation that addresses this regulation and so a particular pair of laws involving injury governs every condition. Most personal injury attorneys are normally capable of understanding these differences much better than the common person would.
According to the website of the attorneys at the Hankey Law Office, the topic of personal injury is quite vague at a very bottom level as private damage just does imply any injury (physical, psychological, and/or psychological) caused upon a victim due to the inadvertent or willful carelessness of someone else may be made to reply to justice via a tribunal. However, there's the question regarding whether or not it is worth it to pursue such a case that is lengthy.Read More »
