6. America's military leaders are scared: They have no problem finding recruits who want to fly drones, but have few who want -- or are ready -- to learn how to program them. One Air Force general told me he believes America's competitive advantage on the cybermilitary frontier is one generation away from being lost.
7. We are putting in place a layer of technology, culture, and economics that we'd darn well better do consciously. The technology we build today is the operating system of the society of tomorrow. Right now, painfully few are participating in this -- and usually the choices are made by the highest bidder.
8. Computer Science is not just a STEM -- science, technology, engineering and math -- subject, but a liberal art as well. Being able to think critically about digital media environments means being able to think critically about our world.
9. Kids are already doing algorithms, the basic building blocks of computer programming. Once they learn long division, they are ready to start programming.
10. The resources are out there: Codecademy.com is just one of many free tools (including CSUnplugged.org and Scratch.org) that any teacher can pick up and implement -- if he or she can muster the autonomy to do so. It may just happen that computer education, like the Internet itself, will depend on distributed authority and the bottom-up, enterprising nature of human beings working together.

Introduction to Types of Lupus
Lupus is a very complicated disease that attacks one's own immune system. This happens when the immune system mistakes some parts inside our body as foreign substances and therefore attacks it instead of protecting it. There are many things that one should know about this disease. These are the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and how to stay healthy.
Joints, skin, kidney, heart, lungs, brain and blood vessels are the parts of our body that can be affected by lupus. Some of the most common symptoms of lupus are fatigue, inflammation in the joints, very high fever, red rashes and kidney problems.
There are five types of lupus, namely:
SLE or Systemic lupus erythematosus: This affects many parts of the body. The symptoms of it can be mild and severe and usually affects people within 15 to 45 years old.
Discoid lupus: This affects the skin. A person with this kind of lupus will have red and raised rashes that will occur for days or weeks at a time.
Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus: This lupus type causes lesions in the parts of the body that are usually under the sun. this doesn't cause scars.
Drug-induced lupus: Side effects from medications can cause this type of lupus. Most times the lupus symptoms will go away when the patient stop taking the medicine that caused it.
Neonatal lupus: This uncommon type of lupus affects newborns of women that have SLE and other diseases.
Causes of lupus: The causes of lupus are not exactly known yet. However, it is believed to be caused by genetics, the environment and hormones. The following factors below are being studied researchers to know if these can also cause lupus:
- Sunlight
- Stress
- Particular medicines
- Viruses and other infectious agents
A person's immune system with lupus produces auto antibodies that attack joints and body organs instead of protecting it. One of these auto antibodies is the Anti Nuclear Antibody. The causes of lupus are still largely unknown and compounding the vagueness is that each patient shows different symptoms.
The symptoms of lupus that are most common to all of the patients are arthritis, unidentified type of fever, severe fatigue, malar rash and sensitivity to sunlight. There can also be hair loss, mouth ulcers, anemia, chest pain, headaches, depression and seizures.
Body Organs that can be affected:
Kidney: Nephritis will occur with no pain at all. In some cases, the ankles of the patient will swell.
Lungs: If the lungs are affected, it will cause pleuritis that also causes the symptoms such as chest pain and breathing problems.
Central Nervous Symptom: If this is attacked, this will cause the symptoms that occur in the head.
Blood Vessels: The person with lupus that attacks the blood vessels will likely to have vasculitis that affects the circulation of the blood.
Blood: If affected, the person can have anemia leukopenia and thrombocytopenia and abnormal blood clotting.
Heart: The heart can have inflammation if affected by lupus. This will cause chest pains and other symptoms of lupus.
Pregnant Women: Lupus symptoms in women will put her at a high risk if she plans to get pregnant. She can have miscarriage and premature birth. A woman planning to get pregnant should not have signs of lupus or taking medications for six months before she plans to get pregnant.

These women are insane. By insane of course I mean great television. We are in week three of the most perfect reality train wreck and the women are staring to unravel. They are going to seriously start humiliating themselves and I am sitting in front of the television like a dog at the dining room table waiting for a bone. It is coming and it is going to be fabulous.
We are starting off with Mariah and Kari going to select wine for their joint birthday party for their husbands. Such crap. They know what wine they like and so this is a scripted meeting to talk about the fact that Kari uninvited Quad to the party. Kari is pretentious, Mariah is waiting to attack, and their hug was fake. Kari wants us to know she is a wine expert.
She reminds us she is European, because apparently Europeans know their wine. Kari is hilarious and fancies herself to be fancier than she is. Mariah is rolling with it, waiting for the big confession. Kari makes an unfortunate joke about yeast infections, Mariah is not having it, and Kari's lips and unbrushed hair are distracting. Here we go with the crazy.
Kari tells Mariah she is unwilling to have Quad in her home. Mariah says that Kari deserved what Quad said to her because she was rude first. Kari is blowing smoke up Mariah's ass by trying to be calm and ladylike, but Mariah is smarter than her and it is going down. Mariah says they should cancel the party if Kari does not want her friends in her house.
Mariah wants the party cancelled and her deposit check back. Kari jumps right on the train and agrees the party should be cancelled. Just as it gets good, they jump to Dr. Jackie. She is throwing a luncheon for her patients who have survived breast cancer. I love Dr. Jackie and think she is fabulous. The scene about her gift bags however, was a waste of time.
Kari has now whipped out her checkbook and is going to pay off Mariah to "shut her up". Kari calls Mariah low class and I am dying. Kari looks like a bitter and ridiculous bitch, while Mariah looks like a lady. Mariah is a grown up and Kari is a mean teenage girl. Mariah reins Kari in and saves the party, but Kari thinks it was her that salvaged the situation. Poor Kari.
Mariah comes out the winner here. She is a class act. She calls herself the Queen Bee, which I think she is, but sadly she is dealing with worker bees that don't really want to work and may be somewhat mentally challenged. The party is on and Kari and Mariah are going to have lunch with Quad to re-invite her and make sure they are all okay so it can be calm.
Toya is on a mission to move on up in Atlanta society. She wants a bigger house and she wants us to all know she is in charge of her family. She is setting herself up for a huge fall. Her attitude about money, her husband's role, and her own, spell reality television divorce. They are funny and cute together, but she needs to dial back the desperation a bit.
We are off to meet Dr. Jackie's husband and her stepdaughter Kirsten. Her husband calls her a stepmother, but Jackie wants to be referred to as the other mother. Just like that, I am over Dr. Jackie. I am my son's only mother and his stepmother, while helping to raise my child and an important part of his life, is not his other mother. She has lost her mind.
These LeAnn Rimes freaks needs to check themselves. You are not her mother Jackie. For real. She says she is her mother in one breath, then says they have come a long way and it has been difficult on occasion. She is not her mother, she is her stepparent, and I am finding it hard to like her. My own baggage of course, but still, she has pissed me off.
Kari is telling Duncan about her meeting with Mariah. Kari tells him it was dark and ugly, but fails to mention it was her that made it dark and ugly. Kari is a troublemaker, but that is why she is on the show. Over to Quad, she is with her two little dogs, her kids, and agrees support Dr. Jackie's cancer event, and meet with Kari to smooth things over.
Dr. Simone is with her sister Carmen and they are cute together. They are funny, silly, and close. This is filler through and while it was a nice way to introduce Carmen, the editing between heavy and light is not smooth. I want to enjoy this stuff, but I'm all wound up from the other stuff, so the transition is hard. They need to edit the madness better.
Toya is with the architect for her new house and I am telling you, these scenes are going to be shown in her divorce proceedings. Toya needs to relax and keep some of her money spending madness to herself. I like Toya, and I love how ballsy and secure she is, but no good can come of this. This is reality television Toya so be careful Honey. You are crazy.
Dr. Simone is at Dr. Jackie's event. She is the only other cast member there. We learn that Dr. Jackie has battled breast cancer twice. Jackie and Simone are perfect together and they could have carried this show on their own. Jackie is brave and courageous and I am glad she is okay. I'm still pissed about the mother comment, but I love her.
Dr. Jackie is walking in a cancer awareness walk and Quad and Mariah are hilarious. They come to support Jackie, who is somewhat offended by them coming in costumes and wanting to have fun. Quad and Mariah did not know Jackie had cancer. I get her seriousness, but she also needs to enjoy the blessings. She has a message, but there must also be joy.
Quad is inspired by Jackie, Mariah respects how Jackie has grown, and Simone is sitting on the street in a chair clapping. At the end of the day these women are all fabulous. They are more real than the Real Housewives and are giving us a new type of reality television star. I like them a lot. I won't hold back my opinions when blogging, but I like them.
Kari, Mariah, and Quad are at lunch. Kari arrives with a cold hello and we see her inner transvestite. Mariah sets up the chat for healing, and Kari is clearly nervous. Quad is holding her own, staying calm, and sharing her truth. Kari knocks Quad's husband's job, again, and Quad is annoyed. Quad is the winner here. She may be crazy, but she is the winner.
Everyone apologizes to everyone and Kari invites Quad to the party. They make a joke about someone getting tossed in the pool at the party, and Kari mentions it will be Toya. Cut to the preview of next week and it appears Toya is going to get shoved in the pool by Mariah. These girls go from classy to trashy in the blink of an eye, which is totally keeping it real.

I think LeAnn Rimes is odd. By odd of course I mean I think she is unstable and in need of special care. She seems to have a lot of time on her hands, and a lot of people who are willing to do whatever she asks of them. I guess she is bored with no career to speak of to keep her busy. The woman is out of control and once again reading my blogs and having a go at my abilities as a writer and my faith.
LeAnn's pathetic loser of a friend Darrell Brown took swipes at my faith last year, and this year it is her publicist who is judging my faith. I am not sure how it is that these non-Jews are qualified to speak of a faith they clearly have no knowledge of, but it is quite laughable. Who exactly are these people? How desperate are they for cash? How much do they get paid to speak on behalf of their cowardly friend?
LeAnn Rimes insists she does not read blogs about her, or watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but the more she insists the more she exposes herself as a pathological liar. She reads every single word I write about her and watches everything Brandi Glanville is in. It is fact, it is proven, and her saying it is not her, but people who care about her, is hilarious. People who care about her are paid to.
I write about LeAnn Rimes because she is interesting. By interesting of course I mean her desperate attempts to seem interesting are interesting. She is laughable and I find it fascinating that a woman who could singlehandedly turn it around and fix her troubled reputation, would rather use her time to dig the hole she is sinking into deeper. Her publicist is a moron and she would be well advised to cut him loose. Fast.
To LeAnn and her publicist, let me share a little something about Jewish people. Watching reality television does not make one a bad Jew. Writing about reality television for a Jewish newspaper, does not make one a bad Jew. Jews watch reality television, but the Jewish Journal is not for Jews only. Important to note that not only do Jews watch reality TV, we create it, write it, produce it, and star in it. That's how Jews roll.
Jews are everywhere people. In fact, there will be a large group of Jews represented at the Academy of Country Music Awards tonight, but one particular country singer will not be there. Funny how that worked out. It cracks me up when people write my boss and question how he can allow me to taint his publication with my reality television blogs. Keeping it Real is not a blog about faith, or the bible. It is an entertainment blog.
I write two blogs at jewishjournal.com, am proudly the most popular blogger on the site, and it has nothing to do with my being Jewish. That said, I certainly write with a Jewish worldview, and my sense of humor has a Jewish spin, but my voice is my own. I do not write on behalf of all Jews. I speak for myself and am blessed to live in a country where I can, and work for a publication and Editor who allow my voice to be heard.
LeAnn Rimes has taken offense to my writing about her. I won't reprint the letter from her publicist as it was not written to me, but I will tell you that I think he is an idiot. They are mad because I wrote a while back that I would not write about LeAnn anymore, which I did, but am now writing about her again, which I am, and that makes me a liar. Boo hoo, the bad Jewish lady is being mean so make her stop. She is a bad Jew!
Here's the thing, I am one of a million people who write about LeAnn Rimes. She likes to have her minions attack people she does not like, and I am one in a long line of people she is angry with. She would be well served to work with me, instead of against me. She reads my blog, knows who I am, and rather than reach out to change my opinion, she behaves in a way that makes it impossible to not write about her. She is ridiculous.
Both my editor and myself have offered LeAnn an opportunity to speak with me and share her thoughts about my blog and me. I have offered to meet her in person, talk on camera, or on the phone, so it is all recorded and she cannot accuse me of spinning her words. I have offered to write about our meeting but she declined. She does not want to talk to me, yet she reads my blog daily and seems to really care about my opinion.
LeAnn Rimes offends me as a mother, woman, writer, and decent human being. That said, I don't know her, but feel for her because she was raised in an unusual environment. At the end of the day she is someone's child, and actually still a child herself. I suggest to her that she put on her big girl panties and sit down with the mean old Jewish lady. I will come with an open mind and if I am wrong about her, I will say so.
She clearly cares about my opinion, and is hurt by what I write about her, so lets talk. I am not out to hurt the girl, I write what my truth is and if she thinks my perception is wrong, then fix it. Stop having your friends write to get me fired, or kicked out of Judaism. (LMAO) Time to grow up and change your image, so why not start with the Jews? We are the chosen people after all. LeAnn has an open invitation to keep it real.

We have been waiting for what seems like forever for these chicks to get back. I've got 20 bucks that says I'll be sick of them by episode 3, but here we go! We start with Vicki who has had a chin implant, fat injections, and a new nose. She looks great, but not really like Vicki. I like her but think it is sad that she changed her face based on what stupid people said. Brooks the human turd is gone and Brianna is moving in with her husband and new baby.
Heather looks great and her kids have really grown up. She is having all the women over for a clambake, except for Alexis. Good for her. She is not going to be forced into a friendship with a chick she does not like and I think that is fabulous. I also think it is nice to have what appears to be a normal Jew on television. Reality Jews are always freaks and she is the great Jewish hope at the moment. Time will tell if she is a reality freak or likeable.
Tamra has moved in with Eddie and they are planning their wedding. She is trying really hard to appear to be a domestic goddess but I'm not convinced. Eddie is very bossy and controlling and she is seeing him in a new light. I never got them together and still don't. I was not a fan of Simon so I was happy to see that end, but sadly it would appear she is dating the same kind of man, which is unfortunate. It's all crap of course I am projecting on things we have not even seen yet, but time with tell if I called it right from the start.
We are in the hospital with Vicki and she is about to become a grandmother. Hilarious that she is making it all about her. She is ready, she will be a grandmother, she is excited. Classic Vicki. Over with Tamra, she is shopping with Gretchen and I am amazed at what these women shoot into their faces. They are super tight in the most unattractive way. Vicki blames Tamra for her break up with Brooks and thinks Tamra is at fault for their friendship being over. How old are these women? It is very sad that any of them are on television.
They gossip about Alexis and how she has jumped on the bully bandwagon. They don't like her, mock her faith, and it is sad. I don't like it when people make fun of faith. Back at the hospital labor has now been 18 hours and there is no baby so a C Section is scheduled. Baby Troy is born and he is gorgeous. Again Vicki makes it all about her and how her life is changing. Whatever. Babies are the greatest blessing and I am happy for them. All of them, not just Vicki.
Gretchen calls Slade because, are you sitting down, he has a job. I do not know what she sees in him. With or without a job, Slade is a loser. Gretchen wants us to think her company of handbags and makeup are thriving. Really? I have never seen anyone using one of her bags and think she is full of shit. Alexis has bought a new house and she wants us to know it is 6000 square feet. She still loves Jim and Jesus. In his first two minutes on camera he belittles her.
Alexis says she is best friends with Tamra and I wonder if Tamra knows. She misses Gretchen but we know Gretchen does not miss her. Whatever. Clambake time. Heather's house is perfection. Vicki is nervous for everyone to see her still swollen face, Tamra is nervous to see Vicki and the gossiping begins. I don't get why we are watching a show where the first hour is spent explaining that none of them like each other. Dear Lord. It is going to be a long season.
Tamra and Gretchen look like twins and it is lame. They are there for 30 seconds and Tamra and Gretchen want the seating changed but Heather is not having it. Vicki arrives and the show ends without our seeing how everyone reacts to each other. It is going to be a season of fake friendships, screaming, and sucking up for camera time. God help us all. I will have a drinking problem by week 3. The things I do for my job! I'll be watching, drinking and keeping it real.

I love this show. We are two weeks in and I am hooked. These women with money and privilege are more suited to Jerry Springer, which is what makes them really interesting to watch. This show is not your standard train wreck, but rather a bunch of little crashes leading up to the big explosion. The timing is perfect. Fascinating enough to keep us watching, but you just know something really good is coming if you can just hang on. I suggest drinking while watching for added enjoyment.
We are still at Mariah's party. Listening to the doctors talk shop is oddly entertaining. Quad arrives separately from her hubs so she can make an entrance. Hilarious since it is not her party. She sounds so much like Jackee Harry that I laugh every time she speaks and can't really take her seriously. Hard to know if she is really like that, or if this is her caricature for TV. She is fun, but ultimately more annoying than interesting. She is pretentious and I can't tell if I like her.
Dr. Jackie is not at the party as she is working and it is probably best. I love Jackie and think she is too classy for this group. That said, we are on week two and she could be a whole lot of crazy in time. Sidebar: Can anyone explain the eye shadow? Is it 1984 in Atlanta? Not cute. Quad ignores Toya and everyone notices. Quad is on a mission to cut a bitch and her mouth is going to do the dirty work. Quad goes after Kari and she does not even see it coming. I love Kari Wells.
I still think Kari's lip injections are tragic, but this chick has balls and I am on her side. She is the perfect reality TV celebrity as she wants to be on TV more than she needs to, and she gets that it is all in good fun. I respect a woman who respects the blogosphere. She reads blogs about her and when some Jewish blogger says she looks like a transvestite, she writes her and says she thought it was funny. I may not like what she does on the show, but she has a fan in me.
Quad is on Kari like white on rice and she is going for the jugular. Kari says Duncan was separated when they met and Quad calls her a medical mistress. Kari is offended and walks away, going to her husband for support. She tells him what Quad said and laughs it off, but she is hurt and the tone has been set. Toya is happy Quad found a new person to focus on and even Mariah is surprised by the balls Quad has. Quad is immature and no good will come of that in the end.
Dr. Simone tries to talk sense into Quad but it is just too much. Too much! I am laughing out loud at this chick. She is going to end up getting divorced and having her own show. Everyone is talking about Quad but she is not backing down. I like that the husbands are included in interviews. They are part of the cast from the get go, as opposed to Real Housewives whose husbands came in as accessories but are now shoved down our throats. I like the husbands.
Kari tells Quad she is offended and has not been married long enough to judge another marriage. Not sure why that matters, but Kari is hurt so she is grasping at straws. Kari says perhaps Quad's husband has a mistress. Into the gutter we go. Jerry Springer must love this show. Kari does her impression of Quad and it is great. Then Quad takes it too far by making an anorexic joke at Kari's expense. Talk about cheating husbands, but don't talk age or weight!
Kari shares she was anorexic when younger. Quad says she was worried about her but that is crap. Quad is out of control. All of a sudden it goes from day to night and I am laughing at the editing. Kari gets her husband, in what appears to be hours later, and they are out. Kari is so offended she left hours later! The party is over and we are with Toya and her husband. I think Toya is really pretty. She is on a mission to get her family into a bigger house with some flash.
Toya cannot pronounce the word Czar and it makes me laugh again. No matter how much money you have, or how you dress, dumb is dumb and dumb is funny. Dr. Jackie is visiting Dr. Simone. I like these two. Simone is hilarious and Jackie is uptight, but in an attractive way. It will be interesting to see if they can stay classy throughout the season. I've got ten bucks they go Jerry Springer at least one time. I could watch the season in one sitting. My liver would like that.
Mariah is hanging with her husband and kids. They are a beautiful family. He works nights so he can be with his family during the day. Love it. They are funny together. Cut to Dr. Simone and she is meeting with a patient about a possible issue with her pregnancy. The transition between reality train wreck and true life reality is seamless. I like that they keep bringing us back to the core of this show, which is medicine. These people have serious lives that have nothing to do with cameras rolling.
We meet Simone's husband and children. They are a sweet family. There is a lot of humor with the couples and that is nice to see. They are not taking it so seriously, particularly Simone. She is all about being a doctor, and wife and mother have their place. Work clearly has the number one spot. Over with Quad, she wants us to know she works and is great at her job. She is a salesman but she wants us to think she is practically a doctor herself. Quad is all kinds of crazy and fabulous. Bless her.
Kari is out for lunch with Toya and tells her about her anorexia history. She was so hurt she shot off a nasty text to Quad, calling her a whore and uninviting her to a party she is throwing with Mariah. Quad is Mariah's friend and to not have included Mariah in the uninviting is going to cause a big mess. Bad for Kari, great for us. Kari's accent seems to change during the show, which I find hilarious. She is now with her husband and we learn he has a bad heart valve and needs regular medical care.
Kari talks to Duncan about the medical mistress thing and Duncan is lovely. He adores his wife and has her back. At the end of the day women behave badly to each other no matter how old they are. You can take a girl out of high school, but you can't take the high school out of the girl. According to Mariah, you can substitute the word ghetto for high school in this comment. Back to Simone her patient's baby is going to be fine and yes, I cried for her. Don't judge me, I've been drinking.
Kari is at Mariah's for lunch and I wonder who wears 6 inch heals and tight dress for lunch at home with a girlfriend. Kari has drag queen hair and I am loving it. Mariah wants to talk about the guest list for the party they are planning together. It will be a birthday party for their husbands and Kari does not want Quad, but Quad is Mariah's friend and she is going to ensureher coming. Kari does not tell her about he text or that she uninvited her. Cut to Quad and Mariah walking in the park.
Mariah is trying to help Quad so she can handle herself better. Quad tells Mariah she has been uninvited and Mariah is pissed off. She calls Quad her best friend which was odd. We knew they were friends, but best friends? Mariah is going to have words with Kari next week. I really like this show. Even the most unappealing people are still interesting, which makes for good television. Too early to tell who will come out the winner, but for now I'm watching, blogging, and keeping it real.

The reality television gods were on our side this week when the show was only an hour. This is how it should always be. This show is only worthy of 30 minutes so stretching it to an hour makes sense. Going two hours every week gives me a headache, so tonight I am drinking wine, watching Trump, and thrilled that it will only take up an hour of my time.
The super annoying Piers Morgan is back to help Trump. He makes me sick and the joy of it only being an hour is sucked out by his presence. That said, at least we are only stuck with Morgan for an hour. The task is to open an art gallery and 3D art pieces that they make themselves. Trace is moved from his team to the other so the numbers are even.
Lil Jon and Lisa Rinna are project managers. For Lisa, Penn has all the ideas and Stephen is a dumbass. I cannot stand Stephen Baldwin. Nobody cares what he says or what he does. Don't even get me started on his selection of jeans. I really want him to be fired already. He does nothing, brings nothing, and gives me a pain in my lower back.
Dennis Rodman is divine, although creepy. Lil Jon is simply divine. Busey is working with clay and a whack job in a way that makes you want to be wacky too. Lisa Rinna is super polite and sweet to Gary and I love her for it. When she was moved by his thoughts and danced to his madness, I thought she was fabulous. I now want her to stay for the first time.
Morgan comes to see the team and makes sure to throw Omarosa under the bus. He hates her and she hates him. Boring already. Trace Atkins is a killer when it comes to fundraising. Bravo. One of Gary's pieces sells for 25K and I am thrilled for him. I don't know what it is exactly, but I love him. Love. Meanwhile Omarosa is cheating and I love it.
Stephen Baldwin is under the impression that he is a real artist. Nobody comes to buy his crap and he is mad that Lisa sold one of his pieces? Stephen Baldwin has not talent and his last name is the only thing we know him for. His brother is a genius and he's never there giving any money for his mom's charity which speaks volumes about Stephen.
Baldwin is talking out of his ass and poor Gary is confused. Trace is pissed off he had to switch teams but is happy to still be in the game. Lisa wins with over 400K to St. Jude's. Lil Jon will bring Omarosa and Dennis to the boardroom because they raised the least amount of money. I love it when this show is only an hour. Wham, bam, thank you Trump!
Omarosa raised 2K more than Dennis, but it was her own money. She is trying to get rid of Lil Jon. Never going to happen. Omarosa and Morgan are fighting and I'm bored. Then Dennis goes after her and while entertaining, it is just yelling. Omarosa is out and the only shot in hell Trump has to keep my attention is to stick to an hour to keep it real.

We begin the end with Kenya meeting with her event team as she is planning a party to celebrate powerful black women. Good for her. She is beautiful in her interview segments, but in the real life segments this chick is greasy and has very bad skin. She also appears to be a different color in every interview, much like Adrienne Maloof. She is all kinds of crazy.
Kandi is with Phaedra who is designing a stun gun for women. Dear Lord. Let's start with her boobs shall we? Phaedra is torturing those poor little grapes by trying to make them look like melons. She needs to get a boob job and call it a day. Her new venture, "Phaedra Sparks" is another attempt to whore herself out for money. Dead people and stun guns. Classy.
Porsha and Kordell are in therapy and he is a total douchelord. We all now know they are getting divorced and it will be nasty, but he truly is a schmuck. Douche is very aware of the cameras and he is playing to them. I feel bad for Porsha because she says they are not on the same page and she may need to move on. Poor Porsha was about to get served.
It is time for Kenya's party, which she likens to a wedding. Poor girl is so desperate for a wedding she is throwing a fake one. Bless her. Porsha is picking out her costume, as is Cynthia. I am fascinated by the bodies of these women. The curves are fabulous and the tight clothes to cover them are spectacular. These women own what they have and I love it.
Porsha is Halle Berry from a movie I don't know, and Cynthia is Dianna Ross circa Mahogany, which is one of my favorite movies. She is perfection. It is party time and you know something bad is going to happen. Kandi comes as Tina Turner. Not really. Todd comes as Kanye West but doesn't know it. Sidebar: Cynthia thinks valet parking is pulling out the stops?
Kenya is Foxy Brown and she looks great. Porsha will not be made a fool of so she comes as Dorothy Dandridge and looks gorgeous. Kenya is pissed off and I am excited about it. Is that bad? Kenya goes to Porsha and lets her know how disrespectful it is. Porsha is a bitch in addition to being stupid. Porsha is classy and gorgeous damn it. Then is happens.
Kenya asks Porsha to leave and has her escorted out. Ouch. Porsha is embarrassed and insulted, but she leaves. Kandi and Cynthia leave right after her. Really? They have bee out to screw over Kenya from day one and this is just sad. Cynthia gets on the phone to NeNe and gossips about it, which is stupid, so Kenya goes out to talk to them.
Kenya is a loon but I get it. Porsha should have just stuck with the program. Porsha is demanding an apology and I would have smacked her. Bless Kenya for sucking it up. She is trying to save her party and I am embarrassed for all of them. Kenya won't give Porsha what she wants and I am with her on it. Dear Lord. These women should not be on television.
Kordell is now fighting with Brandon and I am laughing. Kordell is a freak and Porsha will be counting her blessing soon enough that she is rid of him. NeNe arrives as Grace Jones and Phaedra comes as Eartha Kitt as Cat Women. She pulls out the stun gun and I am so glad the season is over so we can stop watching her be a money whore. Enough.
NeNe talks to Kenya and gets her to climb down off the ledge and gets her to apologize to Porsha. NeNe is a superstar swimming in a sea of trolls. Listening to her opinion of everyone's costume is hilarious. I think it is time for them to shut down production on Real Housewives of Atlanta. We can get our fix of Atlanta craziness from Married to Medicine.
The show ends with no big bang, probably because these women are boring as hell. The reunion however, looks like it will be good. I am happy this slow moving train is done and I am now off to blog the new ladies of Atlanta on Married to Medicine. I will see you back here for the reunion. Make sure you have wine because they may finally keep it real.

This week marked the premier of Bravo's latest reality show, Married to Medicine. It follows a group of ladies in Atlanta who are either married to doctors, or doctors themselves. It was explosive, mostly because some of the women are certifiable. By certifiable of course I mean they are perfect for reality fame. It will be interesting to see which marriages make it through the reality TV curse. One of the women featured is Kari Wells.
Kari is married to an orthopedic surgeon and I was not particularly kind to her in my blog. I can be a little over the top, which is fun, so I wrote the following: "We meet Kari and I am quite certain she used to be a man. Her accent is annoying, her attitude is pretentious, and she is on my nerves after less than five minutes. She is married to Dr. Duncan who is an Orthopedic Surgeon. They are both very attractive gentlemen." Harsh, but funny.
Well tonight, much to my surprise, I received a couple of very interesting tweets from Kari Wells on Twitter. This is the exchange:
Kari: I loved your article it was well written and very opinionated. I laughed so much. Now check out www.KariWells.com
Ilana: Kari Wells is FAB! She read my Married to Medicine recap & thought it was funny, not written in stone. Love it when reality stars get it.
Kari: love hard working, intelligent women who are making things happen, especially those with a great sense of humor. Keep it up
If I had a dollar for every time a reality star got my sense of humor and didn't get mad and think I was mean, I'd have 5 bucks. Well, I would actually now have 6. Kari's reaching out to me on Twitter won't change how I write my blog, but it certainly gives me a different perspective. Setting aside the fact that I called her a man, I love this woman's balls for reaching out. Kari Wells has a new fan in me because she can see the big picture.
Reality television is not brain surgery. It is voyeurism and not at all based in reality. It is fun and mindless television and I love it. I am lucky that I not only get to watch it, but make a living writing about it. When you come across a person who appreciates the opportunity they have been given and know that bloggers help them more than they hurt them, it is a great moment. It does not happen often so it is wonderful when it does.
Bravo to Kari Wells for being fabulous. Married to Medicine is a fun romp and I am hooked after just one episode. I can't guarantee that I won't call Kari a transvestite, but I can promise that when I write about her, it will be with a smile on my face and a tremendous amount of respect for her sense of humor and openness. Important to note that it has only been one show and she might flip on me at some point, but I respect her keeping it real.

The women of Beverly Hills are ending with a bang and I am so happy the first half of the reunion will follow the finale. That is how it should always be. It is going to be explosive and I cannot wait to see it all play out. I have my wine ready to go and am going to crank this one out quickly so I can get to my Passover Seder. Buckle up people because here we go!
We are at Lisa's vow renewal party and all is well. But not really. Brandi is talking with Yolanda, Lisa and Jennifer about Faye telling Brandi that she broke up Adrienne's family. They bring Marisa over to finish their conversation about Brandi telling Marisa to have a hall pass. This all started with Marisa and I am still unclear why Marisa is on the show at all.
Brandi is admitting what she texted may not have been great, and Lisa does not understand why it all has to go down at her special party. Yolanda is a great friend and not into the women treating each other badly. I like Yolanda. Marisa admits that it was Faye who said that Brandi will sleep with anyone, including a married man. Faye is a stupid and useless whore.
Cut to Husband Killer who is going on and on about how close she is to Linda Thompson, yet David had no idea who she was. Taylor is a liar and Linda does not belong on the show either. Taylor cries for exactly one second, then turns it off and has a drink. Meanwhile Faye is attacking Lisa in her own home. Faye tells Lisa she is manipulated by Brandi and not nice.
I don't get why Lisa does not simply through the garbage out of her house. Faye is in over her head with Lisa. She is mentally deficient and cannot hold her own against a sharp cookie like Lisa. Yolanda and Brandi are not having it and head over to help Lisa. Lisa tells them what Faye said and Kyle says she does not like to get involved. Kyle is another piece of garbage.
It is now a smack down on Faye and I am really into it. Faye did not see anything, but is spreading lies. Brandi made out in a bathroom. Who cares? Haven't we all made out in a bathroom at a party? I certainly have. Faye is a backstabbing bitch and she should take a look at her own history of lies and whoredom before she says another word. I can't stand this bitch.
Faye is wondering why she is being attacked. Really? Faye is bored with the conversation, probably because she doesn't understand it. Everyone tells her to go and she just keeps going on and on. Kyle steps in and I want to smack her. Kyle is hideous and they are ruining Lisa's party. Instead of backing up Lisa, she is siding with Faye. Again. Faye needs to go back to hell.
Everyone is telling Kyle that Faye is out of line and Kyle still does not get it. Kyle is a moron and proves it by saying Faye is upset because of Adrienne. Brandi had nothing to do with Adrienne's marriage ending. It was ending long before Brandi was even on the show. Adrienne is a loser, Kim is a loser, Kyle is a loser, and Brandi is looking better and better every minute.
Kim is now having a nervous breakdown at the party because Kyle is not on her side. Kim needs to get off this show before something really tragic happens to her. In the end Kyle is ruining lives in her pursuit of fame and it is repulsive. If anyone cared about Kim Richards they would tell her to live her life off camera and focus on getting well and staying well.
Lisa is with her daughter who is celebrating her one year anniversary as Lisa celebrates 30. Just as the dust settles with Faye, Adrienne walks in with her ugly hair and horrible dress. Kyle forces herself to cry and Kim is still crying from before, then Adrienne starts crying. I love how they are all wiping their faces when there are no tears. Adrienne makes me itchy.
It is so horrible for these bitches to do this at Lisa's party. Truly selfish and unkind. Ken is offended Adrienne did not come to talk to them before holding court in a room with everyone. Who cares Adrienne? What a loser she is. I am now glad she is not going to be at the reunion. She is a troll and her 15 minutes are up. She can shove her ugly shoes up her ass.
Marisa and Yolanda are talking and Yolanda calls Adrienne out for having an ulterior motive in coming to the party. Everyone is kissing Adrienne's ass and I hope they get an eye poked out by the shoe that is jammed up there. Adrienne has the balls to say that Lisa is in the wrong for not approaching her. Is she high? It's her anniversary party you stupid bitch.
Then, without a word to Lisa or Ken, Adrienne leaves the party. I cannot stand this woman. Kyle needs to be taken down a notch and Yolanda could not be coming off better. I didn't get her in the beginning, but I have respect for her now. I hope Yolanda comes back and Marisa does not. I also hope Kyle gets a look at herself and sees what a troll she is really is.
Brandi finds Lisa alone in her room and it is heartbreaking. She feels uncomfortable renewing her vows when there is so much ugliness in the house. Brandi tells Lisa to get it together and have her moment. Brandi and Lisa are cute together and I love their friendship. Brandi makes an inappropriate joke, they laugh at the silliness of it all, and go downstairs.
Lisa and Ken are invited up to the flower heart to renew their vows and as soon as the music starts I want to cry. They have the marriage we all want and it is a real accomplishment to celebrate 30 years together. It is really beautiful and I am so very happy for them. Ken promises to continue to obey her and it is charming. Ken reads a speech and I am now crying.
He tells her he always loved her and probably never deserved her. It is really beautiful. They pass Giggy back and forth as they share their speeches and then Kyle makes it all about Adrienne again. Dear Lord. SHUT UP VILE! Lisa speaks as they show her wedding pictures and it is just perfect. True love really does exist and we have now all seen it.
It has been a season of highs and lows, joy and sorrow, angels and bitches. They have all shown their true colors and editing cannot be blamed for what we saw. I can't wait to see some of them again, and hope I don't ever see some of the others. We can only hope that Bravo listens to the viewers and brings back only those who keep it real.

I LOVE THIS DRIVER! Weight is really good, not too heavy not to light. Confidence is high just setting up over the ball. It's a beautiful club. When I catch it sweet the ball goes for what seems forever! Hit my first true 300+ drive(320 by the card) during my first round.Mishits aren't bad either, just shorter. Easier to adjust than my old mach speed.I went with the stiff shaft because of some reviews that I had read elsewhere online. Bought a used one at Global Golf because the price was GREAT. Club arrived ahead of schedule. For a"very good"condition club, I couldn't tell it had ever been hit.Thanks Global Golf! Thanks Nike! If you want to hit it longer and straighter(and make your buddies jaws drop) you can't go wrong with this one!!!
Just got this from global golf bought it used very good condition and it is beautiful only marks on it are ball marks on the face. You should by this club it WILL help your game.
My Nike VR-S STR8-FIT Driver is 9.5 with a regular shaft. I'm an old guy (70) but pretty strong and big (6'3", 230 lbs.). However, I've lost a lot of distance with age and find this current shaft is flexible enough to get it out 250 and pretty straight. I can draw and fade the ball easily too with this driver. The sound of a well hit drive is magnificent with this club! Dealing with Global Golf has been a pleasure with every club purchase.
This club is AMAZING! The face is hot! Off center hits go long and straight. The Stiff shaft is lighter weight that what I am used to, however it helps create more club head speed. I played a Sumo Sasquatch before this driver, and I have gained 20+ yards. Great driver at a great price!!! Get it, you won't be sorry. Global Golf has great customer service as well, they will take care of you.

An organization is making an effort to reduce the number of teachers that leave their positions each year.
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction reported that 11,791 teachers left their positions last year.
The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International was established in 1929 and is an organization that focuses on educators and promotes professional and personal growth of its members and excellence in education.
Membership to the organization is by invitation only and the Tau Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma has teachers from both Richmond and Anson County.
The Communication Chair of the Tau Chapter, Jeanne Price, said that the organization is really valuable. She became a member of the organization in 2001.
Price said the Chapter gives the teachers "a vehicle to discuss problems." The biggest problem, she said, is trying to help new teachers stay in the field.
The Tau Chapter, which originated out of Charlotte, meets four times a year and just held one meeting on Saturday at the First Presbyterian Church in Rockingham.
North Carolina Senator Gene McLaurin made an appearance at the meeting and spoke with the members.
He said he was "honored to have been asked to speak with them for a few minutes."
"It's always good to hear what's on their minds," McLaurin said.
McLaurin also said that it is a challenge keeping good teachers in the classroom.
"As a legislator, I want the teachers to know that I support them and recognize the difficult job they have," he said.
Martha Webb, president of the Tau Chapter, said that new teachers are overwhelmed in the classroom and the organization tries to support. "We are being as supportive as we can, doing whatever we can," she said.
Throughout the year Tau Sisters meet with new teachers to offer support, supplies, and surprises to make their lives a bit brighter.
Tau Chapter members from Richmond County visited Mineral Springs Elementary School in Ellerbe and presented new teachers with bags of Hershey's Kisses. Each bag read: "Thanks and 'Kisses' from The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, Tau Chapter, of Richmond and Anson Counties."
All beginning teachers in both counties have been adopted by Tau Chapter members and are being supported and recognized throughout the 2012-2013 school year.
For more information on the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, visit dkg.org.

Syrian Regime Hastening Its Own Demise
The New York Times reports on the Turkish F4 fighter plane (upgraded by Israel). Though
Turkey says the airplane was over international waters when it was shot down after straying briefly into Syrian airspace. [Syrian spokesman, Jihad Makdissi said] "We had to react immediately. … Even if the plane was Syrian we would have shot it down."
Yeah, right. That makes it okay.
Mr. Makdissi's comments came a day before emergency talks at NATO headquarters in Brussels over the episode. … Referring to the NATO gathering, Mr. Makdissi said that "if the goal of that meeting is aggression, we say that Syrian airspace, territory and waters are sacred."
Something missing here … oh, its people. Guess they're profane to President Assad. Not to mention disposable.

misunderstood & wanting to make a difference
Once upon a story there was a little girl that always enjoyed playing around seeing animals but also loved them in her plate... Came the day she found about this this magical word ''vegetarian'' where she starting using it and living it, and using it as a weapon to kill the massive zombie attack, but that wasn't the biggest weapon of them all, she needed to go vegan, she discussed things with Brock-Lee and he gave the power and important nutrition to go on in her journey. Then came zombies trying to attack her the took out the amazing Veganomicon! And all the zombies turned into her and joined her in the Vegan Revolution!
Hi, I'm Wonder. I have been a vegan since March 1st, 2011. My only regret is not turning sooner.
Born October 28, 1996- Ive always felt that I was born in a sense so that through my life trials, I may inspire others, in the hope that they too may smile just a little longer. I hope to make a difference, leave my mark on this world, no matter how small of an impression that I leave. ~xo, singlexmomentxofxcourage

Many business leaders already know the inherent value of analytics insights for improving operations and driving smarter decisions. But amid all that potential, companies continue struggling to build truly fact-based cultures.
The world is also more complex today – businesses have to consider the entire ecosystem in which they exist, including social, economic, environmental and political currents that would have seemed outside their purview not so long ago. That puts business analytics in the center of the action. Learn more about Deloitte Analytics services.

Business analytics is the practice of using data to manage information and performance — and make more effective decisions. It can apply to almost any business issue, but most organizations tend to focus on these areas:
Customer | Workforce | ||
Supply chain | Risk | ||
Finance | Pricing | ||
Fraud | Tax |
Analytics Answers If you have questions about analytics, you're not alone. In the wake of a big wave of analytics hype, many are left wondering whether it's just talk, or if they can start putting analytics approaches to work today. At Deloitte, we've already moved beyond the hype, and into action. We've built a host of analytics tools that are ready for deployment today. And we're just getting started. |

PAULA PASCHE: Reggie Bush not a good financial fit for Detroit Lions
No doubt about it, the Detroit Lions need some help in their run game. Is Reggie Bush the answer?
It's a big offseason question and actually just one of many for the Lions.
Running backs Mikel Leshoure and Joique Bell can't carry the load alone. Last season they could not take full advantage of the defenses that were focused on stopping Calvin Johnson and the passing game.
A little fuel was added to the Bush fire this week when Sports Illustrated's Peter King wrote that Bush and the Lions would be a good fit. Willie McGinest, an NFL Network analyst, agrees.
Bush is a pass-catching tailback and the Lions are a passing team that is still missing Jahvid Best who filled a similar role. (Best is still on the roster, but it's unknown if he'll every play again.)
Let's take a closer look.
Bush will be 28 years old on March 2 (he just seems older). The USC product re-invented himself to some degree during the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins where he had career highs in rushing yardage — 1,086 in 2011 and 986 in 2012. He also had six rushing touchdowns in each of those seasons with another two receiving touchdowns in 2012 and one in 2011. On top of that he had 296 receiving yards in 2011 and 292 in 2012.
The Lions ranked 23rd in the NFL in 2012 with 1,613 rushing yards (4.1 yards per carry). Only 28 percent of their first downs were of the rushing variety. Clearly not enough.
Now here's the really big question. Even if the Lions wanted Bush can they afford him? Bush, who earned a Super Bowl ring with the 2009 Saints, is coming off a two-year $9,750,000 contract.
The Lions need value. If Bush is looking for $6 million a year, he won't be wearing Honolulu blue and silver in 2013. If it's half that, perhaps there would be interest. It's all about value. Continued...
Being a good fit into the scheme is one thing. Fitting into the salary cap is another.
According to multiple reports, Bush wants to return to the Dolphins. But they want to utilize Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas, their young running backs.
His price tag will eventually adjust to the market. Still, it seems unlikely that Reggie Bush will find a home with the Lions.

Melanie's Randomnessnever heard of moop before but just visited their website and the bags are beautiful.

Jay-Z's "Open Letter" may be the best press release ever recorded.
This week's been rather rough on Jay-Z. Not only did his recent trip to Cuba nearly start a second missile crisis (okay, not really), but he's also faced a fair amount of scrutiny for selling his share in the Brooklyn Nets (to start his own Sports agency, no less).
And yet, rather then continue taking a beating in the press, Hov got together with Timbaland and Swizz Beatz and recorded a rapped press-release, dubbed "Open Letter." The piece presumbly attacks the likes of Senator Marco Rubio and Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who publically objected to Hov's state-sanctioned Cuban pilgrimage. "Politicians never did shit for me / Except lie to me, distort history," he says in the song. "Want to give me jail time and a fine / Fine, let me commit a real crime."
As for his shedding of the Brooklyn Nets the rapper added, "I woulda moved the Nets to Brooklyn for free / Except I made millions off you fucking dweebs." In reality, selling his stock is a necessary step in becoming a certified sports agent. It was announced this week that Jay-Z would be partnering with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to create a new sports agency under his Roc Nation franchise. Fun fact: they've already signed their first client, Yankee's second-basemen Robinson Cano.
Frankly, if all press-releases where produced by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz I would hate my inbox a lot less.
