Kelsey Grammer's soon-to-be ex-wife could be breaking up with the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" too.
With a second season of the Bravo reality show yet to be confirmed, Camille Grammer has already decided she's done with the franchise, a production source told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday.
A rep for Grammer cautioned hours later that no decisions have been made about her continued involvement with the show.
U.S. & World
"She taped a very explosive reunion episode yesterday, where people are going to see a different side of her than they've seen before," rep Howard Bragman told People mag.
Grammer, 47, has clashed with fellow "Housewife" and Paris Hilton's aunt, Kyle Richards, during the show's inaugural season.
The former Playboy model and mom of two filed to divorce "Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer in July with filming already underway.
In December, Kelsey Grammer, 55, announced his engagement to girlfriend Kayte Walsh, a 29-year-old British flight attendant. Their nuptials news came about two months after the couple revealed Walsh had suffered a miscarriage.

Prisoner Bride Charlene Wittstock, the Serene Highness of Monaco, and her husband Prince Albert have ended their honeymoon in South Africa and returned home so that he can deal with the DNA test and the latest paternity claim. There are reports coming out of South Africa however that when they were there, they were sleeping in separate hotels and now that they've cut short their holiday, it's convinced people even more that Charlene has been put on lockdown. That she desperately wants out but is being forced to honour an alleged "pact" to produce a legitimate heir to the Monaco dynasty before being released. And you think Katie Holmes has it bad.
Albert already has 2, maybe 3, depending on this latest one coming forward, illegitimate children. At 53 he needs to secure the throne with a child that will be recognised by law. Charlene's job is to make that happen for him as soon as possible. A spare would be nice too. Once she's fulfilled that obligation, she's free to go. Divorce, after all, is very commonplace among Grimaldis. They just need a baby first.
If this were a Chinese movie, Albert, as fertile as he's been with all his side action, will find that it's not so easy when he needs to go about it properly. With a wife, on a royal bed, and all kinds of pressure. And if that's not successful, you know it falls to Caroline's kids. One day, Andrea Casiraghi might be the Prince of Monaco, after all.
Meanwhile, Albert and his henchman are still trying to play it like all this is nonsense and Charlene never tried to escape. She supposedly told US Vogue that:
"It is a shame that those rumours came at such a bad time, but I think they were timed to sabotage such a happy occasion. They are categorical lies. I won't dignify them with any response other than to say that the photographs of me and Albert in love and getting married will speak louder than any vicious gossip and empty rumours."
That sounds like a press release and errrmmm...have they seen the photographs of her and Albert "in love and getting married"? Because they spoke really loudly to everyone. And they spoke of a bride who's been shackled and a dickhead monarch who doesn't give a sh-t. The video was even worse.
Let's watch it again.

Each was jailed on charges of felony vandalism, criminal tools possession and criminal/aggravated trespassing.
Stark County sheriff's deputies said the men had gone to a building in the 2000 block of Whipple Avenue NW, where they were seen on the roof and leaving in the same vehicle with copper from the building, the jail records said.

BOSTON (AP) — Kevin Garnett sure looked as though he wanted to remind the Minnesota Timberwolves what they've been missing these last five years.
Garnett scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and remained unbeaten against his former team as the Boston Celtics beat the Timberwolves 104-94 on Wednesday night in Rajon Rondo's return from a two-game suspension.
The Celtics improved to 10-0 against Minnesota since they acquired Garnett from the Timberwolves during the summer of 2007. They also won for the 11th straight time against Minnesota.
Asked if Garnett still liked to play against his old team, Boston coach Doc Rivers didn't hesitate.
''What do you think?'' he said.
When the reporter answered ''yes,'' Rivers smiled and replied: ''That's a good answer.''
Celtics teammate Paul Pierce, who scored 18 points, downplayed all that, saying Garnett just likes to face good young players such as Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.
''I think he just accepts the challenges of playing against some of the top players in the game,'' Pierce said.
Minnesota is the only other team Garnett has played for in his 17-year career. Garnett looked motivated from start to finish, even coming out and swiping the ball out of Love's hands in front of Boston's bench early in the final quarter.
''We established the post, I thought, early on. I thought defensively we played with a lot of energy,'' Garnett said. ''We made them go to their second and third options, which is something they don't like to do.''
Love could see Garnett's energy sparked Boston's other players.
''He's intense,'' Love said. ''He's K.G. He's a guy that defensively, he'll clamp down on you. He didn't leave me out there more than once tonight, really clamped in.''
Boston went 1-1 without Rondo, suspended for his role in a scuffle during a game against the Brooklyn Nets last Wednesday.
Rondo had 17 points and 11 assists. Jason Terry scored 17 and Brandon Bass 12.
Love led the Timberwolves with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Nikola Pekovic had 14 with nine boards.
Minnesota went just 6 for 19 from 3-point range one night after hitting a season-high 13 3s in a win over Philadelphia. The Timberwolves also went 14 for 30 from the free throw line.
''We're not going to win if we miss 16 free throws or whatever it was. That's terrible,'' Minnesota guard Jose Barea said.
Boston, which led by seven entering the final quarter, scored 11 of the initial 14 points in the fourth and opened a 90-75 lead on Terry's 3 from the left wing with 7:50 to play. The Timberwolves went nearly 5 minutes without a basket.
The Celtics maintained between a 14 and 12-point lead over the next 3 minutes, keeping the Timberwolves from making a run by nailing a handful of free throws before a spinning, crowd-pleasing basket by Rondo made it 100-85 with 3 1/2 minutes left.
The Celtics used a 9-0 run over 2 minutes to open a 67-61 lead on Terry's 3-pointer midway into the third.
Minnesota, coming off a 17-point win in Philadelphia on Tuesday, scored the last five points of the half to grab a 51-47 edge at the break.
The Celtics opened the game 10 for 13, but cooled off late in the first quarter, missing six of their last nine shots and trailed 30-27 after one.
Love headed to the bench early when he picked up his second foul - both on offense - with 2:27 left in the first quarter.
NOTES: Minnesota held its opponents under 90 points in three of the previous four games - all wins. It's a commitment to defense that coach Rick Adelman saw at the beginning of the season. ''We've had a great work ethic,'' he said. ''The guys are working hard on it.'' The Timberwolves entered having allowed the fourth-fewest points in the NBA. ... Boston G Avery Bradley, sidelined since shoulder operations at the end of last season, said he expects to be able to practice in ''one to two weeks.'' ... Rivers compared Love's ability to rebound to that of Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman. ''I played with, I think, one of the greatest rebounders all-time - Dennis Rodman,'' he said. ''I watched him at the (London) Olympics and said, 'He seems to know where the ball is going when it's in the air.''' Love then went out and grabbed an offensive rebound on Minnesota's first shot of the game. ... Rondo got a loud ovation when he was introduced in the starting lineups. ... Garnett played his 1,273rd game, one behind Minnesota assistant Terry Porter for 17th all-time.

Finally, some good news for Katie Holmes and "The Kennedys."
After several networks, including Showtime, DirectTV, and The History Channel, declined to air the 8-part mini-series in a dragged-out game of "not it," it looked as though the series - which stars Holmes as Jackie and Greg Kinnear as JFK - was going to be shelved for good.
Enter the Reelz Channel.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reelz has picked up the series and will air Part 1 on April 3rd.
The controversial mini-series is said to play a little fast and loose with the facts surrounding the lives of America's most famous family, which seemed to make the majority of networks squeamish. Before Reelz snapped it up, rumors had BBC America being another potential suitor for the series. Beyond that...well...it could have been one hastily-added animated sequence away from Sprout.
This has to be a huge relief to Holmes, whose recent Sundance film "The Son of No One" was widely considered a festival bomb.

CARSON, Calif. — MLS championships are won around the time the holidays approach, when turkeys quickly become an endangered species.
Two days before Memorial Day of this year, though, an MLS Cup-worthy match is captivating attention.
Dubbed by some as the "Battle of the Best," the Los Angeles Galaxy face the Columbus Crew on Saturday in a matchup of the only two teams yet to suffer a loss in the 2010 MLS campaign. Through the first third of the MLS campaign, LA and Columbus are easily the two best teams in the league.
"You can't rest everything on [the game] but it does have a little extra meaning," Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant said.
Pitting two undefeated sides against each other is something extraordinary, Dunivant said.
"It's good for the league," he said. "I don't think you can point to too many times when teams are undefeated at this point of the season. It's pretty rare and special."
The Galaxy have a three-game edge on Columbus and may have an advantage entering the game, even if the match will be played at Columbus Crew Stadium. LA have yet to allow a goal on the road this season and are 4-0-1 overall away from Home Depot Center.
However, the last regular-season goal the Galaxy allowed was late in the 2009 regular season, in a 2-0 loss at Columbus.
Still, don't expect LA to enter with anything less than a load of confidence.
"We're going in there a confident group," Dunivant said. "We know they're confident but we have nothing to fear going in there. We're going to approach it just like we have all the other games and going there trying to get a good result and if we do that I think we'll be alright."
Columbus pose several problems. Guillermo Barros Schelotto is perhaps the league's most exciting player, and is an ever-present danger. Additionally, Robbie Rogers and Chad Marshall, each of whom missed the cut for the US World Cup squad, both returned to training on Thursday and will be available for the match.
The Crew pulled out consecutive road wins within days of each other recently, as Columbus beat New York 3-1 on May 20 and followed it up with a 1-0 win at Kansas City on May 23.
"They're a balanced group and have a good offensive group with Schelotto running the show, pulling the strings and defensively they're a strong team," Dunivant continued. "They've been winning ugly as of late but they can win pretty too. We see a lot of ourselves in them."
However, Columbus will try and do something that's not often been done this season. The Galaxy have allowed only two goals this year and have a whopping plus-14 goal differential. Columbus—the only Eastern Conference team with a positive goal differential—has a plus-eight, second-best in the league.
The defense has been impenetrable as the Galaxy carry a 366-minute shutout streak into Crew Stadium, made even more remarkable by the fluidity of the lineup.
"Our depth has been tested all year," Dunivant admitted. "When you lose Landon [Donovan] and Edson [Buddle] for an extended period of time it will test you but we've had guys out all year. Our whole roster has had to start games all year and we're still getting results. You look at midfielders, forwards, everyone is contributing, everyone is doing a job out there and when we get up in games, that's a testament to our whole team, our team mentality."

Washington State completes a sharpshooter cull of a wolf pack that had been feeding on livestock. KING 5's Gary Chittim reports.
Sharpshooters taking aim from a helicopter shot dead six gray wolves this week, wrapping up Washington state's strategy of killing off the pack because it had become accustomed to eating cattle.
"It was the hardest decision I've ever made both professionally as well as personally," Phil Anderson, director of Washington's Department of Fish & Wildlife, told NBC station KING5.com on Thursday after the last wolf, the alpha male, was shot dead. "Going out and killing wildlife is not what this agency is all about."
The state had placed a GPS collar on the alpha male when the pack was discovered earlier this year in northeast Washington. That same GPS was then used to track down the wolves.
"The GPS collar on the alpha male enabled us to find the pack's location fairly easily, although a few times the wolves were pretty inaccessible because of forest cover," department spokesman Dave Ware told NBC News.
A first wolf was killed in early August to see if that would break the pack's habit of attacking cattle.
"Ultimately, it became clear that this pack was preying on livestock as its primary food source, and that our actions had not changed that pattern," Anderson said in a statement Thursday. "The independent wolf experts we consulted agreed with our staff that removal of the pack was the only viable option."
A second wolf was later found dead on land used by cattle to graze. The cause of death was not clear, but the young wolf had not been shot, the department said.
Those deaths left what officials estimated to be a pack of six members, all of them killed this week.
Even if the pack was a bit larger than that, officials don't expect long-term survivors since both the alpha male and female were among those killed.
The wolves were dubbed the "Wedge Pack" because they roamed a wedge-shaped area of the state.
Gray wolves used to roam Washington but were nearly exterminated a century ago by settlers. Efforts to return them to the wild in neighboring states opened a door for a natural return of wolves to Washington, where seven other packs have been established without attacking cattle.
Officials expect new wolves will move into the "Wedge" area since it has plenty of deer, elk and other wildlife. They just hope any future wolves don't become accustomed to cattle.
"It was necessary to reset the stage for sustainable wolf recovery in this region," Anderson stated. "Now we will refocus our attention on working with livestock operators and conservation groups to aggressively promote the use of non-lethal tactics to avoid wolf-livestock conflict."

My December column at Palate Press, the online wine magazine, is now up. I revisit an issue I covered in late 2011 — the relative environmental impact of natural corks versus screw caps — with new data from Nomacorc, the leading manufacturer of synthetic (plastic) cork-like closures.
Closure for closure (that is, if we ignore the question of waste as a result of wines made undrinkable by the failure of their closures), natural cork still comes out as the most environmentally friendly choice in nearly every respect. A bigger point is that closures are a very small part of the total environmental impact of a wine. (How small? Probably an unanswerable question, unless we're calculating numbers for a specific wine.) That said, if you're the kind of person who reuses her plastic wrap, it might be worth remembering that the neck of your wine bottle can contain something made from metal, something made from plastic, or something made from a tree that's still standing and respiring in a Mediterranean cork forest.

Code for America opens 'civic accelerator' in S.F.
The nonprofit Code for America plans to open a first-of-its-kind "civic accelerator" in San Francisco, a program designed to house, mentor and fund startups focused on using technology to improve government efficiency.
Mayor Ed Lee will announce the initiative this morning, highlighting a San Francisco partnership aimed at streamlining government processes, such as small-business applications or locating property records.
The details are still being worked out, but Code for America will work with the city to identify departments in particular need of new online tools. Code for America will sponsor so-called hackathons this spring and summer to find and fund entrepreneurs building the most promising solutions.
The government already spends huge amounts on technology, but most of it flows to large enterprises. Code for America wants to apply the innovation and energy of the startup tech world to the challenges of city government, said Abhi Nemani, director of strategy at the San Francisco nonprofit.
"We're trying to not just advance a market, but create it," he said.
Code for America started in 2009 with the goal of identifying government processes that could be improved through online solutions.
Its work so far has mostly involved a fellowship program, through which developers are matched up with cities to build out specific Web projects.
The Code for America accelerator is being funded in part through a $1.5 million grant received from Google late last year. The organization intends to roll out similar accelerators in other cities, though it expects that the applications produced here will work for local governments around the nation.
Nemani said Code for America will be more hands-on than traditional business incubators, identifying market opportunities, government contacts and potential partners. The group expects to provide $20,000 to $30,000 to each business.
The accelerator will be based at the Storek Building at 155 Ninth St., where Code for America is of moving.
Leveraging technology to improve government responsiveness was among the goals listed in Lee's job plan during his campaign. If online tools make it easier to process business permits, for example, more jobs will be created, said Tony Winnicker, the mayor's spokesman.
"San Francisco is home to some of the world's greatest entrepreneurs, the ones who have 'disrupted' numerous industries and made our city a hub for innovation," Lee said in a statement. "The challenge now is to bring those same disruptive technologies to make government more accountable and engaged, and make San Francisco the world's first City 2.0."
Lee will also announce the appointment of Jay Nath, now the director of innovation for the city, as the chief innovation officer in the mayor's office, a new position.
Nath, who will coordinate the relationship with Code for America, has been instrumental in overseeing other city efforts to take advantage of emerging technologies. That includes the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts' Summer of Smart initiative last year, which produced a number of civic-focused mobile apps using open data from the city.
His new role represents an elevation of that work, he said.
"We will be working very closely with the technology, startup, entrepreneurial community (to identify) what type of changes we need to make," he said.

(At least) two intersecting gravitational fields that vary periodically with equal (Figure A) or opposite (Figure B) phases create in their mutual intersection four new fields that are the subatomic particles of the central atomic nucleus.
Following the Pauli exclusion principle, the subatomic particles of figure A will be fermions that obey the exclusion principle. Subatomic particles of figure B which do not follow the Pauli exclusion principle, will be bosons.
A. In the figure A, when it comes to fermions:
A.1. At momentum 1, with the left intersecting gravitational field contracts and the right expands:
A.1.1 At the left side of the central axis of symmetry:
– Beta minus decay occurs.
– The positron (e+) field becomes a negative electron (e-) moving toward the left side.
– The neutrino (v-) field transform into a negative neutron (n-), receiving the compression forces of the negative mesons (quarks) "a" top down and "e" bottom up, and the extra compression force of the positive quark "g" which moves from left to right (quarks "g" and "c" would correspond with the quarks currently known as "charm" and "strange").
A.1.2 At the right side of the central axis of symmetry:
– The previous positron (e+) field becomes inexistent, a virtual particle.
– The positive proton (p+) field transforms into a positive antineutrino (v+), experiencing decompression forces from the negative quarks "d" top up and "b" bottom down. It suffers too an extra decompression from the positive quark "c" moving left to right.
A.2. At momentum 2, with the left gravitational field expanding and the right one contracting:
A.2.1 At the left side of the central axis of symmetry:
– The electron field becomes inexistent, a virtual particle.
– The neutron (n-) field transforms into negative neutrino (v-), experiencing the decompression forces of the positive quarks "a" top up and "e" bottom down, and an extra decompression from the quark "g" moving right to left.
A.2.2 At the right side of the central axis of symmetry:
– Beta plus decay occurs.
– The electron field (e-) becomes a positive positron (e+) moving toward the right side.
– The antineutrino field (v+) transforms into a positive proton (p+) experiencing the compression forces of the positive mesons (quarks) "e" top down and "b" bottom up. It receives an extra compression from the quark "c".
Note that when it comes to fermions, electron and positron are Majorana antiparticles that exist ad different times. Neutron – proton are Dirac antiparticles existing at different times. Neutrino-antineutrino are Dirac antiparticles too.
I consider electrical charges are pushing forces created by the displacement of a field. I call negative to the left side and positive to the right. I call positive to the kinetic energy that increases although it can exist inside a field that is placed at the left side of a central axis of symmetry, and negative to the kinetic energy that decreases. In the cases of neutron and proton fields, their inner kinetic energies increase, they are positive energies, because of the reduction of the volume and the pushing forces that experiences the neutrino field when becoming neutron, or the antineutrino that becomes proton. In the case of neutrino and antineutrino they have decreasing kinetic energies that can be considered as Dirac negative energies.
Electrons and positrons are formed by a top up quark and a top down quark ("a" and "d" in the pictures above).
Mass and energy are not interchangeable. The conservation of mass and the conservations of energy are independent principles. The kinetic energy that the neutron field losses when becoming neutrino, is found in the increasing energy of the antineutrino field that transforms into proton. When the proton losses its energy becoming antineutrino, an inversely proportional energy is gained by the neutrino field that becomes neutron. The conservation of energy, when it comes to fermions, acts in antisymmetric planes.
With respect to the conservation of mass, when the neutron field transforms into neutrino (A.2) its increasing volume suggests that it could be expected an inversely proportional decreasing of its mass density. At the same time, the field antineutrino transforms into proton decreasing its volume and increasing its density. But a loss of mass takes place when neutron transforms into neutrino (or proton into antineutrino), and a gain of mass takes place when the antineutrino becomes proton (or neutrino becomes neutron). The cause of the violation of the conservation of mass is produced by the action of the external quarks "g" and "c". When neutron becomes neutrino the quark "g", moving from right to left, adds and extra decompression on the neutrino field decreasing its density without respecting the proportionality with its increasing volume; At the same time, the quark "c", moving from right to left, adds an extra compression force on the proton field increasing its density to a greater extent than it would be expected from its decreasing volume. But the conservation of mass is respected at mirror level, because the loss of mass that occurs in the neutron –> neutrino (or proton –> antineutrino) transformation has its proportional counterpart in the gain of mass that occurs in the Antineutrino –> Proton (or neutrino –> neutron) transformation.
B. In the figure B, when it comes to bosons:
In momentum 1, the Photon (y) is the wave created by the periodical ascending pushing force of the subatomic field (proton P+) that exists in the central axis of symmetry, when the two intersecting gravitational fields contract at the same time.
In momentum 2, when the two intersecting fields expand at the same time, a gamma decay takes place: the Proton field (p+) transforms into antineutrino (v+) experiencing a downward displacement that is interpreted like a loss of energy, although it has its counterpart at this time in the convex side of the intersecting gravitational fields, creating an antiphoton Y that is dark energy and creates antigravitational force.
In momentum 1 the two subatomic fields that exist at the same time at the left and right sides of the central axis of symmetry are mirror reflected Dirac antiparticles that do no follow the Pauli exclusion principle. They have some similarities with the fermionic electron and positron fields but their energies act in a different plane, the vertical one.
In momentum 2, they both experience an inversion and because of the displacement of the strange quarks, do not suffer the confinement created by the charm quarks ion momentum 1. It is because a change in their masses occurs because they do not receive now the same forces of pressure than before.
In momentum 1 the top "a" and "d" quarks and the bottom "f" and "b" quarks are up. The two external quarks are charm.
In momentum 2, the top "a" and "d" quarks and the bottom "f" and "b" quarks are down. The two external quarks transform into strange.
With respect to the Higgs boson, considering that the Higgs boson is the vibration – the periodical variation – of the Higgs field, I think the atomic model that I explain here has some analogies with respect to the Higgs mechanism. The periodical variation of the two intersecting fields would have a similar function that the Higgs boson. The mass and volume of all the subatomic fields in figure A and B are created by the periodical displacements of the intersecting fields that created them. Those pushing forces can be considered and explained as bosons or quarks, but they all are particular manifestations of the same mechanism.
Although it is not represented on the pictures above, the central nucleus (and all the mechanism) experiences a progressive prelation turning on itself, on the central axis. And the phases of variation of the intersecting fields would synchronize and desynchronize periodically. Fermions will become bosons and viceversa, periodically.
Because of this progressive displacement on the horizontal plane there will be not a perfect spatial antisymmetry between electron and positron. When electron becomes positron, the positron field will not move toward the right side following the exact opposite path of the electron, it will follow a displaced path. And in this respect they can not be considered as antiparticles. But after some time electron and positron will have inverted their positions: now the previous left electron is placed at the right side and the previous right positron is placed at the left side, a physical electromagnetic inversion has take placed. Now, properly, the previous electron is a current positron, it is its own Majorana antiparticle, and the previous positron is a current electron, its own antiparticle too. But considered in this way, the same could be said with respect to neutron and proton.
On the picture above I have represented two fields that vary with opposite phase; on the top view, colored in yellow is the electron field moving toward the left side. At this time the red positron field is a virtual particle which does not exist. But all the central figure and the whole system turns on it self, this movement is represented on the top view by the blue lines, its center is the center of symmetry of the system.
I think this circular or spiral displacement caused by the mentioned prelation would correspond with the currently known as "spin" of the electron and positron. But all the subatomic particles would have this kind of circular spin.
In the case of the photon created by two intersecting fields when they both contract at the same time, the photon is the force created by the upward movement and the waves that it produces, , it is not the field itself. And this photon has always its origin in the middle of the central symmetry, independently of the spin of the ascending-descending field.
I am speculating here with different possibilities. But anyway, I consider that the inner kinetic (magnetic) energy, the orbital motion that exists inside of each subatomic particle-field is not produced because of the particle turns on itself. The subatomic particle does not turn on it self. Their inner orbital motions of each subparticle are caused by the periodical pressures that they experience, acting as pushing forces on them.
With respect of the fine structure, I think when it comes to the photon, when the two intersecting fields vary with equal phases and contract at the same time, it has its counterpart in a gross structure when the gamma energy occurs because the intersecting fields expand; this gross structure takes place at the convex side of the intersecting fields.
With respect to dark matter and dark energy. What we consider "dark" depends on the perspective that we are observing. If we are watching from the concave side of the mechanism when the two intersecting field contract at the same time, we will perceive the wave caused by the ascending field and we will call it "photon". But later, when those two intersecting fields expand at the same time and the ascending field moves downward, decreasing its energy, we will not perceive the effects that will take place at the convex side of the intersecting field. They will be consider dark for us. The same could be said when it comes to fermions and we are placed at the left side of the mechanism, inside of the left intersecting field, we will perceive the effects of the electron field moving toward the left side but do not the effects of the positron. And so on.
With respect to the implied dimensions, in the case of fermions there are 9 non commutative spatial dimensions and two temporal; when it comes to bosons, there will be 1 unique temporal dimension (Although because the phases of variation synchronize and desynchronize periodically, the two temporal dimensions will became one when fermions become bosons, and viceversa).
On the other hand, I consider this model would be applicable at astrophysical level too: the two intersecting fields could represent the intersecting gravitational fields of two entangled stars, or they could be two intersecting parallel universes creating periodical Big bangs (when emitting a photon) and Big silences (when gamma decay occurs); It would explain too, with a unique mechanism, all the observed asymmetries and periodic fluctuations of our solar system. But it would make necessary to review the whole accepted solar system model. Between other things, the existence of an Anti-Earth with its gravitational field intersecting with the Earth's gravitational field would be necessary.
You can find more explanations about gravity as force of pressure and other questions like Van der Waals and Casimir forces, antimatter in the periodical table of elements, spectral lines, nuclear fission, antigravity, zero force points, etc, in other posts on this blog.

"I'm convinced that we will avoid relegation because we've developed in the last 14 days," said Magath, who was appointed last month.
"The team is growing together and that is what makes me sure that we can avoid relegation."
Three points at Cardiff would provide a welcome boost, Magath admits, but the west London club are not too worried about their predicament at present.
Magath added: "These three points are very important for us, not only to step up from the last place, we need a win for ourselves, for our confidence.
"I get the feeling here that everybody knows that and everybody sleeps well with the knowledge there are games ahead of us we can win.
"We are in London, we are not in Cardiff or Sunderland where the whole city is interested in playing Premier League.
"The atmosphere here is really relaxed for the situation we are in; it's not typical for a team fighting against relegation.
"We have to be aware that we are not only dreaming, but everybody has to put in a shift and push the team and push the players to give their best."
Magath knows that relaxed approach cannot filter through to his players, but he is undecided if Kostas Mitroglou will feature in Wales, despite the £12million striker playing an hour for Greece in midweek.
"He is not match fit," Magath said.
"He played only 60 minutes and has hamstring problems
We have to wait, he comes back today, our doctor has to see him and maybe if he is fit he will play.
"We need a player in our situation who is prepared for 90 minutes relegation fight."
Mitroglou's situation has confused Fulham fans, but Magath insists it is unfair to heap hopes on a player who will take time to adapt to English football.
The manager said: "The Premier League is the best league in the world, so it cannot be compared with the Greek League
Every player who comes from the Greek League needs a few weeks to adapt.
"You cannot expect such a lot from a player who is new in the Premier League
You have to give him time to adapt.
"We know that and we make a contract with Mitroglu not for the game against Liverpool or Manchester United, but for the last games.
"If he's not fit now, he will be fit next week."
As a result Mitroglou was not risked for last week's loss to Chelsea.
Magath added: "Why should I spoil him in a game like Chelsea? Chelsea is the best defending team in the league and so we would get not many chances against Chelsea.
"He's new and he needs confidence, too
To get used is not good for him and not good for us."
Lewis Holtby, on loan from Tottenham, also did not start.
The forward, who played under Magath at Schalke, has been told he is not the right sort of player for a relegation fight, but may be given a chance against Cardiff, where he may have more space to play to his strengths.
Magath added: "We are not in a normal situation
Now is not the time to play very well, now is the time to fight.
"Lewis Holtby is not a fighter
He is very smart, he is a very skilful offensive player who has very good passes.
"A game against Chelsea, the best team in the league, we had not much space to create chances and therefore he was out for that game
Saturday is another game
We will see."

Capital Campout 2014
Kids and families from the Topeka area discovered the great outdoors at the nation's first Capital Camp Out, May 30-31 at MacLennan Park in Topeka, Kansas.
The Topeka Capital Camp-Out was the first of four held across the United States as a part of National Great Outdoors Month. Governor Sam Brownback officially recognized June 2014 as Great Outdoors Month in Kansas by signing a proclamation to start the Camp-Out.
Participating campers and chaperones were selected from urban neighborhoods and youth groups. From "Camping 101" and stargazing to catching frogs and fishing activities, and of course s'mores, campers had a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor experience. All camping gear and equipment was provided by founding sponsor The Coleman Company, Inc. which donated $31,000 of camping gear to the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism for its first-time campers program. Participants were able to take home their new sleeping bags and backpacks.
CFS Engineers and Capitol Federal also sponsored the event, providing hearty meals for the participants and volunteers.
Everyone enjoyed seeing the 27' Smokey Bear Cold Air Static Balloon (Friends of Smokey Bear Balloon); touring Coleman's 100
Anniversary Travelling Museum; and getting up close and personal with USDA Forest Service "spokesbear" and American icon, Smokey Bear.
KDWPT thanks the many companies, volunteers and staff members who worked tirelessly to make the event a success, including:

Sandy Hook task force member questions secrecy
HARTFORD -- The president of a Connecticut open government group on Wednesday questioned the makeup of a task force that is charged with recommending to state lawmakers how to balance victim privacy with the public's right to know, in the wake of the deadly Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.
James H. Smith, a task force member and the president of the Connecticut Council on Freedom of Information, said he's concerned the overall membership of the 17-person group appears slanted in favor of keeping certain information from public release.
"It looks to me it's weighted on one side over the other," Smith said during the second meeting of the Task Force on Victim Privacy and the Public's Right to Know.
But Don DeCesare, a representative of the Connecticut Broadcasters Association and the panel's co-chairman, said, "It's a little early to count noses." He said he hopes the panel can unanimously approve a set of recommendations for the General Assembly to consider by Jan. 1.
Smith also raised concerns about how the task force was created.
A provision to create the group was tucked into a last-minute bill designed to block the public release of crime scene photos and video evidence from the Dec. 14 massacre at the Newtown school.
Task force members were given the broad charge of making recommendations regarding "the balance between victim privacy under the Freedom of Information Act and the public's right to know."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office originally bypassed the traditional legislative process and worked behind the scenes with legislative leaders, the state's top prosecutor and others to draft a bill to address concerns raised by the Sandy Hook families. Twenty first-graders and six educators were killed in the mass shooting.
"They went around the legislative process. There were no public hearings and so we have this legislation," Smith said. "It doesn't surprise me that we're having trouble with the legislation because it was all done in secret."
Besides creating the task force, the new law blocked the public release of photographs, film, video and other images in all homicides, so long as the records "could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of the victim or the victim's surviving family members."
Sen. Leonard Fasano, R-North Haven and a task force member, said it wasn't the intention of state officials to craft the bill secretly.
He said the Sandy Hook families came to legislators at the end of the session, after the public hearings were completed, with concerns that crime scene photos would be publicly released. Documentary maker Michael Moore had called for their release, arguing the photos would persuade people of the need for gun control.
"No one even thought about this issue," said Fasano, who called the final legislation "a reasonable stop-gap measure."
The task force meets again Sept. 4.

'300' -- An Operatic Ballet of Death
The Battle of Thermopylae (480 B.C.) is one of history's enduring tales of heroism: 300 Spartans, led by warrior King Leonidas, fought to defend their home against hundreds of thousands of Persian invaders under the control of self-proclaimed god-king Xerxes.
"Look, underdog stories are interesting," says Zack Snyder, director of the film "300," the latest retelling. "People love 'few stood against many.' I think that's normal. It's just the human experience."
In the hands of Snyder, working from an award-winning graphic novel by comic-book master Frank Miller ("Sin City"), the three days of ferocious combat become larger than life. Modern scholars often put the size of Xerxes' forces at about 250,000; the novel and film prefer the heroically apocryphal 1 million. Persian arrow volleys are so dense they "blot the sky," and their marauding armies include inhuman combatants. It's as if Snyder and Miller want to do for Thermopylae what Homer did for the Trojan War.
"The idea was to create a world you hadn't seen before," says producer Bernie Goldman. "We didn't want to make a historical movie; we wanted to make a movie about the legend."
"300" has epic themes and is played out on an epic scale. In Miller's account, Xerxes is 9 feet tall, a splendid, awe-inspiring creature adorned with ornate gold chains and piercings. Battle elephants are three stories high. Xerxes' elite fighters, the Immortals, owe more to Japanese ninja than Persian tradition. Snyder's version adds "bullet-time" visuals and screaming metal guitars.
"It has grand themes and all that stuff," Snyder says, "but I wanted to make a fun-ride movie for adults, where you could say, 'That's sexy, that's gory.' It's at 11 the entire time.
"I wanted a movie that knew it was a graphic novel. I love Frank. I'm a huge fan, I felt a responsibility to do a cool job with it. But I also felt that the movie should be, in some ways, well, in a lot of ways, transcendent of the genre of swords and sandals. It should be something else."
Before helming the cheeky, caffeine-buzz remake of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004), Snyder was a sought-after commercial director (he has won Clios and a Gold Tiger Award at Cannes). The 41-year-old Green Bay, Wis., native with unkempt hair and a distressed Catalina Grand Prix T-shirt brims with enthusiasm, his words firing in sustained bursts during a meeting at the Beverly Hilton.
"When you get a fantasy film for adults, in recent years, anyway, they're depressing," he says, citing "Children of Men" and "Pan's Labyrinth." "By the way, I love those movies, they're fantastic movies, but they're not a fun ride at the movies. You don't leave them going, 'Yeah! That was awesome!' "
Although "300" and "Sin City" were both shot against virtual backgrounds, their visual similarity ends with Miller's distinctive compositional style. Unlike the flat, two-toned, shadow-heavy appearance of the earlier film, every frame of "300" seems painted, for a more complex, textured look. And it isn't captured by a robotic eye.
"That absolutely was conscious," Snyder says. "I didn't want it to look like it came out of a computer. We shot the movie on film. We added grain because I wanted it to feel like a movie. When you watch (the first battle), there are lens flares, there's a little dirt on the lens -- that's all done in post. Or in a shot when someone's running or something, I would purposely be just a little bit behind. It's made by humans."
Producer Deborah Snyder (Zack's wife) thinks "300" is less of a guys' film than "Sin City" was.
"It deals with freedom, it deals with this event that happened so long ago. It also has a really strong female character," she says. Queen Gorgo, played by Lena Headey, "is the heart of Sparta; she equals Leonidas in her journey. Also, the violence ... it's very beautiful. To me, it's like a ballet of death; it's very operatic. Also, the guys -- I mean, there's a lot to look at."
One of those outrageously ripped "guys" running around in essentially a cape and Speedo (the film's Spartans don't wear armor) is Scottish actor Gerard Butler, who stars as Leonidas. He's not a big name in the United States yet -- his best-known work here is as the title character in "The Phantom of the Opera" -- although he does have previous epic-hero experience in the little-seen "Beowulf and Grendel."
"He doesn't have to say very much, and he just commands your attention on the screen," Goldman says. "That's kind of what makes somebody a king, that presence, that ability to hold a room. ... So few guys have that kind of masculinity, where men can respect them and women can admire them as well. ... I think people will look back on ('300') and say, 'Oh, that's the movie that made Gerry Butler a star.' "
Zack Snyder says Butler simply was Leonidas.
"There's a scene when he says, 'This battle is over when I say it's over!' You look at that scene in the graphic novel, and he looks just like him," he says. "It's weird. It's pretty awesome."
If Miller's work is, as "300" screenwriter Kurt Johnstad says, the "Holy Grail" of the comic world, up next for Snyder is the Ark of the Covenant: Alan Moore's seminal Watchmen series. Snyder says he's dueling with the studio to keep the complex, mind-bending thriller "more 'Strangelove' than 'Fantastic Four.' " While Watchmen presents a bleak political landscape, the very point of view of "300" is debatable.
"Here's what I've had thrown at me, which is awesome," the director says. "I've been asked, 'Is Leonidas an insurgent, or is he George Bush?' I go, 'The fact that you're not clear about it I would hope might generate some healthy conversation about what it means.' Look, if the movie can make that debate real, make people talk about it, great. That's more than I could ever hope."
"300" (R) opens Friday at Bay Area theaters.

You might say Lindsay Lohan was right on target with her machine-gun shooting nun in "Machete."
Director Robert Rodriguez believes the troubled starlet could actually return in her own movie based on her outrageous performance in the film, which opens Friday.
"It could be the-nun-with-the-gun is back," Rodriguez tells PocornBiz. "She could get her own spin-off."
"Of course we've talked about it," he adds, speaking of Lohan. "To be continued."
To be fair, Rodriguez is eying a number of surviving characters from the movie for spin-offs or to be part of already promised "Machete" sequels.
But there was something compelling watching Lohan on the big screen wearing a nun's habit and spraying a machine gun with a look of total competence. Lohan also gleefully mocks her own public image as a drug-using spoiled daughter who yearns to be a model.
Rodriguez confesses that he wasn't even planning on having Lohan use the machine gun in the movie.
"I said I wanted to do some shots with her, not even for the movie, but for the trailer with the machine gun," says Rodriguez. "The thing just took on a life of its own. We thought it was so fun."
Lohan and her machine gun went on to have a key role in the end of the movie. And the door is open for more firing.
"It just got stranger and stranger," he laughs. "She really lights up the screen."
Robert Rodriguez: LiLo Could Have Her Own "Machete" Spin-Off
You might say Lindsay Lohan was right on target with her machine-gun shooting nun in "Machete."

|System: Xbox 360, PS3
|Dev: Gaijin Entertainment
|Pub: Konami
|Release: Q1 2012
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
by Angelo M. D'Argenio
If you don't remember, X-Blades was a button mashy action/adventure game featuring a scantily clad woman. It didn't impress too many people when all was said and done, and the main character Ayumi's wardrobe (or lack thereof) may have been more popular than the game itself.
The good news is that the folks at Gaijin Entertainment seem to have learned their lesson. While X-Blades was a rather generic action game with nothing more than button mashing combat, Blades of Time is taking a page from indie hit Braid, allowing you to screw with time. Frankly, it doesn't look all that bad. Here's a short rundown.
Blades of Time definitely has all the hack and slash combat you'd expect from an X-Blades follow-up. Press buttons to do attacks, string them together to do combos, earn experience to upgrade your moves and learn new ones, and so on. It's nothing we haven't seen in Dante's Inferno or Darksiders.
However, Ayumi has some new powers now. She can rewind time, and she can create "time clones" of herself that exactly mimic her actions in past timelines that no longer exist. Sound confusing? Let me put it another way.
Say you are facing off against a group of enemies. You rush forward and kill one, but then the rest of them gang up on you and you die. You can then rewind to the start of the battle when you ran forward and killed that one enemy. However, when you restart time again, a ghostly time clone of yourself still runs forward and kills that enemy, leaving you to go kill another enemy. You can repeat this process until tons of time clones spread out to handle the entire army, and you don't even have to break a sweat.
The entirety of the game is built around this interesting mechanic. For example, if you are facing one enemy with armor so thick your attacks bounce right off him, you can create ten time clones to strike all at once, shattering his armor in one strike. Or if there is an enemy guarding an entryway that only moves when you pass his field of vision, you can create a time-clone to lure him away while you slip right past. These time clones could be used to move platforms so the real Ayumi can continue onward, act as meat shields so the real Ayumi can stab enemies in the back, or even form massive armies to gang up on a boss that is as big as a building. The possibilities are endless, and you'll no doubt have tons of fun experimenting with different techniques.
This game also includes extensive co-op and competitive multiplayer. However, all the multiplayer modes in the game strip Ayumi of her time powers; you will need to use real people instead of time clones in order to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Unfortunately, this could easily make the game a lot shallower, so it seems like an odd choice on Gaijin's part.
Now, the least interesting aspect of Blades of Time's gameplay is the combat itself. As cool as the time clones may be, the actual fighting is still very button mashy and extremely simplistic. Ayumi eventually gets new skills such as lock-on dashes, magic, and special combos, but overall, these are just variations on the "mash the X button to win a lot" concept. Hopefully this will change by the time the game hits store shelves.
That being said, the game's time-cloning element might be just the gimmick it needs to justify all this overly simple combat. Either way, be on the lookout for Blades of Time when it releases in early 2012.

Berkeley Urged to Adopt Sweat-Free Ordinance
Community leaders, labor rights activists and garment workers from Central America urged Berkeley city officials to pass a sweatshop-free ordinance at a Tuesday press conference at Old City Hall.
City Councilmember Kriss Worthington said that he would be co-sponsoring, along with councilmembers Max Anderson and Jesse Arreguin, a sweatshop-free ordinance at the April 21 City Council meeting.
The event was part of a week-long West Coast tour where human rights and labor organizations called on cities to join and support the Sweatfree Purchasing Consortium, which would end tax dollar support for sweatshop abuses and establish ethical standards for U.S. businesses.
Although 39 cities in the country, including San Francisco, have adopted sweatshop-free ordinances, Berkeley has yet to pass one despite joining the Sweatfree Purchasing Consortium in July 2007.
The city's Peace and Justice Commission collaborated with numerous city officials and the Commission on Labor over the past three years to write an ordinance which was rejected by the City Council a year ago.
"Sadly, Berkeley is way behind on this issue than other cities," Worthington said at the press conference. "It's long overdue for the City of Berkeley to put our money where our mouths are."
He said that although the ordinance is scheduled to appear before the council in three weeks, it still may not pass.
"We as city officials have a moral responsibility to make sure that the goods that we are purchasing with taxpayer dollars do not support unfair labor practices," said Councilmember Jesse Arreguin. "Doing business with companies that engage in sweatshop practices does not reflect the values of the citizens of Berkeley."
Elizabeth Gutierrez spoke about her experience working under unjust labor conditions at a Honduras factory.
"Why is it that workers are paid only 10 cents when the products are sold for $25 or $35?" she asked. "Workers work long days but don't have any right to organize. We have problems with our lungs and our backs."
Describing her 12-hour work days and unbearable daily production goals, Gutierrez said she hoped "cities would step up to support good jobs."
Rapfael Izirarry, who works for Propper International in Puerto Rico, which contracts with the United States for military uniforms, said he and fellow employees were organizing to improve conditions in their factory. He said sweat-free policies adopted by cities would protect the rights of workers by improving salaries and benefits.
Berkeley's proposed ordinance seeks to ensure that garments and other equipment, materials, supplies and services "procured by the City of Berkeley, its agencies or its employees through contracts, purchase orders or voucher programs, be produced in workplaces free of sweatshop conditions."
"To those who contend that the ordinance is but a symbolic resolution, we tell them that the workers who just spoke are not symbols, they are real people, and this is real life," said Labor Commissioner Igor Tregub, a longtime advocate for the ordinance.
"The intent of this ordinance is not to close down factories but to help vendors with which the city does business to take steps to get into compliance, and to award contracts to the most responsible but not necessarily the lowest bidder."

Hey everyone!
I am sure the weeks are getting faster. Didn't I just do #71 yesterday?! LOL! I must say I love it though. It ensures I keep playing with my goodies and also using the grey matter to create something different each time….well at least I try to! Hehe!
This weeks colours were a little difficult for me. I tried several options but having Not Quite Navy as a predominate colour on this card would just not work. So in the end I used it to stamp the sentiment. It seems a lot like cheating doesn't it? LOL!
Again this week I played with the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint {so lurve this stuff}. This time though I just stamped the image in Peach Parfait and then using a paint brush, painted the shimmer over the top. You cannot see it too well but I ran a sponge dauber, dipped in shimmer paint, around the edges of the card. You can just see it along the top………well I can anyway! LOL!
Heres a closer look at that flower
I pulled out an old favourite, Petal Pizzazz. I bet you noticed! I seem to go through some favourites don't I? Currently it is Elements of Style, but that could soon turn into Nature Walk…….but then again French Foliage is a new one I have just acquired! Hmmmmmmm! I will let you know! LOL!
Don't forget to go to the Inkspirations Challenge Blog to link your creation and of course check out the rest of the DT.

MIAMI – Thank goodness for Julius Caesar, Pope Gregory XIII, and leap years to keep our calendars in order. According to the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., the nation's timekeepers, if we didn't have leap years our calendar would be totally scrambled and out of sync with the seasons.
The reason, the Earth doesn't orbit the sun in exactly 365 days. It actually takes 365.2425 days. Over time those extra digits add up to almost a full day, but not quite, every four years.
About 500 leap days have come and gone since the Roman ruler Caesar first added a leap day to the calendar every four years around 46 B.C., but it wasn't perfect as the Julian calendar was adding too many days. By the 1500s Easter was about 10 days off and slipping back into winter.
The modern calendar used today dates back to 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII instituted the Gregorian calendar, with its first leap year of 1584.
Here is where the Gregorian calendar gets interesting. Under its rules, every year that is evenly divided by 4 is a leap year, except for turn of the century ones ending with a "00" such as 1900 or 2100, that aren't divisible by 400.
Without this adjustment the seasons would gradually slip out of adjustment with the calendar, but at a really slow rate of about eight days every 1,000 years.
It is interesting to note that, according to the Honor Society of Leap Year Babies, roughly 5 million people worldwide share a February 29th birth date, making them "leapsters" or "29ers, according to the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies.

Most everyone wants to drive the ball farther and down the middle, and the key to that is matching the right configuration of head and shaft regardless of your ability.
When fitting for your driver, we are looking for specific launch conditions that are repeatable.
We first start with your driver as a baseline and monitor your ball flight as well as your swing speed, tempo, club delivery, and were the club is released.Once this is achieved our fitters would then put together several different combinations.
These are all player dependent and many key factors must be considered:
- Head shape, loft, volume, and lie angle
- Shaft flex, weight, torque, and bend profile
- Length of the club and swing weight
- Grip type and size
Any one of these factors can produce drastic changes in your ball flight. Remember don't just assume because you have a certain swing speed that you just need a driver that is regular, or stiff in flex.
Make it a point to be properly fit and you will reap the benefits.

The mag'har (uncorrupted, brown orcs) are a faction of the remaining orcs of different orc clans that had escaped the corruption of the Burning Legion.
Pre-Warlords of Draenor
At some point, apparently prior to the Blood Pact with Mannoroth, a virulent plague known as the "red pox" spread throughout the Horde, and Geyah established a quarantine village in Nagrand, homeland of the Warsong clan.[1] For reasons unclear, the orcs managed to avoid the corruption that plagued even their parents and the rest of the world, though it is quite possible that the very plague that separated them from the rest of the horde saved them from corruption. The orcs, and Nagrand, come to be referred to as "MagHar" — which in Orcish means, literally, "uncorrupted". They eventually recovered and constructed the stronghold of Garadar.
The mag'har have never been corrupted by either Mannoroth or Magtheridon, and thus remained untouched by the bloodlust. Unlike their former clanmates who live in the ruins of their once-mighty holds, the mag'har are made up of members of different orc clans who escaped corruption. The current leader of the mag'har, venerable Greatmother Geyah, is an old and wise orc, yet she has recently fallen extremely ill. Garrosh Hellscream, son of the mighty Grom Hellscream, serves as the mag'har's military chief, aided by Jorin Deadeye, son of the venerable chieftain of the Bleeding Hollow clan, Kilrogg Deadeye. Dranosh Saurfang, Aggra, and Ishi are also mag'har.
Warlords of DraenorThis section concerns content exclusive to Warlords of Draenor.
As Grom did not drink Mannoroth's blood and instead killed him in the alternate timeline, all orcs except for Gul'dan kept their brown skin.
The architecture of the mag'har seems to be based off the buildings from Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. This suggests that during the First War, orcs used similar building types to those back at home on Draenor. However, over time, their buildings become more and more "warlike" and nomadic. Those back on Draenor/Outland never changed their building style.
- ^ According to Warlords of Draenor
