The country has a socialist president, one of the most overbearing state sectors of any developed country, some of the highest taxes in the world, and its concept of democratic government seems to require frequent rioting in the streets by its citizens.
Vive la France!
France is a country that often seems to prosper in spite of itself, but it is also home to some of the world's finest companies--including oil major Total (NYSE:TOT), fashion and luxury goods powerhouse LVMH (Pink:LVMUY) and pharma giant Sanofi (NYSE:SNY) to name a few. Think about it. Only the crème de la crème could survive and thrive in a place as hostile to business as France.
In the Sizemore Investment Letter, Europe has been one of my favorite hunting grounds for my "emerging markets lite" strategy. Due to the small size of most European domestic markets and due to their old imperial legacies, European firms tend to be more globally focused. This is an investable theme; one of my best trades in 2012 was in the shares of a French logistics company with a large and growing presence in Africa. (Due to its limited trading volume in the United States, I can't mention it here.)
I can, however, recommend that investors take a look at the French market as a whole via the iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:EWQ).
France is cheap right now, for reasons you might expect. Investors have placed a "Europe discount" on the entire EU as fears linger about its continued viability. The French ETF trades for just 12 times earnings and yields 3.0% in dividends.
But as the fears of a Eurozone breakup recede with each passing day, I expect investors to warm to French stocks over the course of 2013.
I also like the fact that EWQ is weighted heavily in industrials and consumer cyclicals (17% and 15% of the portfolio, respectively). This fits a broader theme I've been following of allocating to more aggressive sectors (see "Warren Buffett is Rotating into Riskier Sectors").
Action to take: Buy shares of EWQ at market and plan to hold for 6-12 months. Use a 15% trailing loss.

guys. I'm considering a complete overhaul of my site, and I have a dilemma. I have multiple ways of getting to the same place, i.e.:
Home > Page 1 > Page 2 > Page 3
Home > Page 3
and possibly even
Home > Some Page > Page 3
It makes sense to do it this way logically (because of my categories), but what should I do about the pages? Of course, I don't want have duplicate content and get smacked by Google, but I don't want to the user to lose their place in the hierarchy/breadcrumbs.
Is this a good time to use the
rel="canonical" tag? The only difference on the three pages would be the breadcrumbs or menus, depending upon how the user navigates to the page. I may do the rebuild in CodeIgniter, in which case I could use routes. Would that be the best option, here? I just don't want to confuse users, get smacked by Google, sacrifice usability, etc.
Thanks, guys!

DURHAM, N.C. – Nine-year-old Aaron Schaefer spent years battling debilitating migraines caused by stress. But since starting a yoga class, his headaches are gone.
"When I started taking [the class], it was like a cure from heaven," said Aaron.
Researchers at Duke University are studying whether a program that combines yoga and other therapies can help children's mental and physical health.
"It calms you down. It relaxes your body. It lowers your heart rate. It lowers your respiration and in general it reduces the effects of stress on your body," said Murali Doraiswamy, MD, professor of psychiatry at Duke Medicine.
Doraiswamy says these relaxation responses can help mild depression and sleep disorders. Yoga may also provide additional benefits for people with schizophrenia and ADHD when combined with standard drugs.
"The benefits were of the same magnitude of the benefits we see with psychiatric medications," said Doraiswamy.
Previous studies have shown yoga-based techniques can help individuals cope with anxiety, stress, and poor mood. Researchers are studying whether these methods can be adapted for children and teens.
"Often times [children] don't fully understand that kind of awareness of body and the awareness of how their thoughts and emotions can be tied in with how they're feeling physically," said Anava Wren, doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Duke University.
Aaron's dad says it's been a great stress reliever for his son.
"What had been three or four, a dozen headaches a week disappeared completely," said Paul Schaefer,.
Now Aaron can concentrate on his dream of becoming an architect.
Researchers hope that their findings will spur government agencies to fund larger national studies to confirm their initial results and make yoga a standard treatment option for mental conditions. They say their evidence is still preliminary, and people should consult with their doctors if they are concerned about a mental health condition.
Additional Information:
Yoga has been practiced for more than 5,000 years, and currently, close to 11 million Americans are enjoying its health benefits. It is a mind-body practice that combines stretching exercises, controlled breathing and relaxation. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines to achieve peacefulness of body and mind, helping one relax and manage stress and anxiety. (Source: www.webmd.com; www.mayoclinic.com)
BENEFITS OF YOGA: For many patients, dealing with depression, anxiety, or stress, yoga may be a very appealing way to better manage symptoms. A number of studies have shown that yoga can help reduce stress and anxiety. It can also enhance a person's mood and overall sense of well-being. Practicing yoga has also been proven to lead to improved balance, flexibility, range of motion and strength. Yoga has also been used as an adjunct treatment for specific medical conditions, including heart disease. It benefits other chronic medical conditions, relieving symptoms of asthma, back pain, and arthritis. (Source: www.health.harvard.edu; www.mayoclinic.com; www.webmd.com)
YOGA PRECAUTIONS: Yoga is generally considered safe for most healthy people when practiced under the guidance of a trained instructor. However, there are some situations in which yoga might pose a risk. These include:
- A herniated disk
- A risk of blood clots
- Deconditioned state
- Eye conditions, including glaucoma
- Hyperthyroidism
(Source: www.mayoclinic.com)
YOGA FOR KIDS: The beauty of yoga is that its benefits are available to students of all ages, including children. Studies show that kids with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who practiced yoga improved on-task time and attention as well as reduced symptoms. In addition, yoga has been used to help at-risk youth around the U.S. and is seen as an important outlet for students who have behavioral problems, spent time in the juvenile justice system, or failed at traditional school settings. The practice has also been shown to be an effective teaching tool when working with students with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, sensory integration disorder, and learning difficulties.

Brewers rally to bash to Dodgers
Four-run 7th gives Milwaukee win in series opener
Rickie Weeks hit a three-run homer and Gerardo Parra had two hits and two RBIs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
Weeks hit a 2-2 pitch from Carlos Frias for his homer in the eighth inning that made it 9-3.
The Dodgers went ahead 3-2 in the top of the seventh then Milwaukee capitalized on two errors by reserve shortstop Justin Turner and scored four runs in their half of the inning.
The first run in the seventh came on Martin Maldonado's squeeze bunt that scored Weeks. He bunted the ball toward Brandon League (2-3) who tried to flip it with his glove to catcher Drew Butera, but was late. Pinch-hitter Khris Davis reached on Turner's fielding error to load the bases. Carlos Gomez then reached on Turner's throwing error that allowed Mark Reynolds to score. Parra followed with a two-run single that gave Milwaukee a 6-3 lead.
Dodgers starting shortstop Hanley Ramirez left the game in the first inning with tightness in his right side and was replaced by Miguel Rojas.
Turner pinch-hit in the seventh and then took over at shortstop in the bottom of the inning.
Dodgers starting pitcher Roberto Hernandez came to the teams on Thursday from Philadelphia for two players to be named or cash considerations.
Hernandez looked like he was in line for the win when he needed just 65 pitches to get through six innings, retiring 17 straight at one point. He struck out five and allowed three hits in the first inning.
Jeremy Jeffress (1-1) picked up the win in relief.
Milwaukee went ahead 2-0 in the first inning on Aramis Ramirez's run-scoring single and Scooter Gennett's sacrifice fly.
Adrian Gonzalez homered in the sixth and knocked in another run for the Dodgers in the seventh that tied the game. Andre Either's RBI single later that inning gave the Dodgers a 3-2 lead.
Dodgers: Ramirez walked on a 3-2 pitch from Kyle Lohse then didn't come out for the Brewers' half of the inning. He is listed as day-to-day. ... Right-hander Josh Beckett (6-6, 2.88 ERA) went on the 15-day disabled list for the third time this season before Friday night's game. He has a left hip impingement. The move is retroactive to Aug. 4. He is expected to be out 10 days to two weeks. The 14-year veteran made three starts since being reinstated on July 22 from the same injury which occurred on July 8. His first time on the disabled list was March 22 when he had a right-thumb contusion.
Brewers: Catcher Jonathan Lucroy was held out of the game in a precautionary move. He has a hamstring issue aggravated by running the bases in Thursday's game with San Francisco.
Dodgers: Right-hander Zack Greinke (12-7, 2.71 ERA) starts the second game of the weekend series. He faces his former team for the first time this season. He pitched for Milwaukee in 2011 and until July 27, 2012, when he was traded to the Los Angeles Angels.
Brewers: Right-hander Mike Fiers (0-1, 2.57 ERA) will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville before Saturday's game and make his first start with the Brewers this season. He's filling in for right-hander Matt Garza (left oblique strain) who is on the 15-day disabled list.

Been lost most my life working meaningless jobs just to get by. Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2010 and now living day to day with more important pursuits in mind. I would be grateful to sell my art to survive. Eventually, if popular enough, I would enjoy selling work as charity pieces for good causes.
Thank you for your support!

United States District Court, D. New Jersey
January 7, 2019
Malibu Media, LLCv.John Doe subscriber assigned IP address 184.108.40.206
Letter Opinion and Order will address Plaintiff Malibu Media,
LLC's motion for leave to serve a third-party subpoena to
ascertain the identity of the subscriber assigned Internet
Protocol ("IP") address 22.214.171.124 for the
dates relevant to the Complaint. Plaintiff seeks to obtain
this information before the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
26(f) scheduling conference in this matter. Pl.'s Br. in
Supp. of Mot., at 1, Jan. 7, 2019, D.E. 5-4. Pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 78, the Court did not hear
oral argument. For the reasons stated below, Plaintiff's
motion [D.E. 5] is granted.
Malibu Media, LLC (d/b/a "X-Art.com") is a
California limited-liability corporation that claims
ownership of certain United States copyright registrations.
Compl., at ¶¶ 3, 8, Dec. 18, 2018, D.E. 1.
Plaintiff alleges that Defendant illegally distributed
Plaintiff's copyrighted works via the BitTorrent
peer-to-peer file-sharing system, in violation of the
Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et
seq.[1] Compl., at ¶¶ 1-2, 11-26, D.E.
asserts that it does not know Defendant's identity; it
knows only that the infringing acts alleged in the Complaint
were committed using IP address 188.8.131.52. Pl.'s Br.
in Supp. of Mot., at 1-2, D.E. 5-4. Therefore, Plaintiff
seeks leave to issue a subpoena to the appropriate Internet
Service Provider ("ISP"), in this case Optimum
Online, so that Plaintiff may learn Defendant's true
identity. Id. Plaintiff asserts that the ISP, having
assigned that IP address, can compare the IP address with its
records to ascertain Defendant's identity. Id.
Plaintiff contends that this information is necessary because
without it, Plaintiff will have no means to determine the
true identity of Defendant, and therefore would not be able
to "serve the Defendant nor pursue this lawsuit to
protect its valuable copyrights." Id. at 2.
Rule of Civil Procedure 26(d)(1) provides that "[a]
party may not seek discovery from any source before the
parties have conferred as required by Rule 26(f)." The
Court, however, may grant leave to conduct discovery prior to
that conference. See id. In ruling on a motion for
expedited discovery, the Court should consider "the
entirety of the record to date and the reasonableness of the
request in light of all of the surrounding
circumstances." Better Packages, Inc. v.
Zheng, No. 05-4477, 2006 WL 1373055, at *2 (D.N.J. May
17, 2006) (quoting Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith, Inc. v. O'Connor, 194 F.R.D. 618, 624 (N.D.
Ill. 2000)). Courts faced with motions for leave to serve
expedited discovery requests to ascertain the identity of
John Doe defendants in internet copyright infringement cases
often apply the "good cause" test. See In re
BitTorrent Adult Film Copyright Infringement Cases, No.
11-3995, 2012 WL 1570765 (E.D.N.Y. May 1, 2012) (granting
limited early discovery regarding a John Doe defendant);
Pacific Century Int'l. Ltd. v. Does 1-101, No.
11-2533, 2011 WL 5117424, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 27, 2011)
(finding plaintiff had not shown good cause to obtain
expedited discovery). Good cause exists where "the need
for expedited discovery, in consideration of the
administration of justice, outweighs the prejudice to the
responding party." Am. Legalnet, Inc. v.
Davis, 673 F.Supp.2d 1063, 1066 (C.D. Cal. 2009);
accord Semitool, Inc. v. Tokyo Electron Am., Inc.,
208 F.R.D. 273, 275 (N.D. Cal. 2002).
in this District have frequently applied the "good
cause" standard to permit early but limited discovery
under analogous circumstances. In Malibu Media, LLC v.
John Does 1-11, plaintiff sought leave to serve a
subpoena demanding that the ISP in question reveal the John
Doe defendants' name, address, telephone number, email
address, and Media Access Control ("MAC")
address. No. 12-7615, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 26217, at *3-4
(D.N.J. Feb. 26, 2013). In that case, the Court granted the
plaintiff's request for early discovery, but permitted
the plaintiff to obtain only the information absolutely
necessary to allow it to continue prosecuting its claims: the
defendant's name and address. Id. at *3. The
Court recognized that neither party should be left without
remedy. On the one hand, plaintiffs claimed to be the owners
of copyrighted works that were entitled to protection. On the
other hand, more expansive and intrusive discovery could have
imposed an undue burden on innocent individuals who might not
have been the actual infringers. Id. at *9-11
(citing Third Degree Films, Inc. v. John Does 1-110,
Civ. No. 12-5817, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 27273 (D.N.J. Jan.
17, 2013)). Therefore, the Court granted plaintiffs limited,
early discovery, i.e., the names and addresses of the
subscribers but not the email addresses, phone numbers, or
MAC addresses. Id. at *3. Other courts in this
District have reached the same conclusion and have imposed
similar limitations. See, e.g., Malibu Media LLC
v. Doe, No. 14- 3874 (WJM) (MF), Order (D.E. 7), at 4
(D.N.J. Sept. 2, 2014) (limiting subpoena to be issued before
Rule 26 conference to "the name and address of
Defendant."); Malibu Media, LLC v. Doe, No.
13-4660 (JAP) (DEA), slip op. (D.E. 5) at 2 (D.N.J. Aug. 19,
2013) (limiting the scope of a pre-Rule 26(f) conference
subpoena to a subscriber's name and address); Voltage
Pictures v. Doe, No. 12-6885 (RMB) (JS), 2013 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 155356, at *9-10 (D.N.J. May 31, 2013) (granting leave
to serve subpoena requesting only the name, address,
and media access control address associated with a particular
IP address); Malibu Media, LLC v. John Does 1-18,
No. 12-7643 (NLH) (AMD), 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 155911, at
*9-10 (D.N.J. Mar. 22, 2013) (restricting the scope of a
pre-Rule 26(f) conference subpoena by not permitting
discovery of the internet subscriber's telephone number
or e-mail address).
is good cause in this case to permit limited discovery prior
to the Rule 26(f) conference. The information is necessary to
allow Plaintiff to identify the appropriate defendant, and to
effectuate service of the Amended Complaint. The Court
certainly recognizes that the IP account holder might not be
personally responsible for the alleged infringement. However,
the IP account holder might possess information that assists
in identifying the alleged infringer, and thus that
information is discoverable under the broad scope of Rule 26.
See Malibu Media, LLC v. Does, No. 12-07789 (KM)
(MCA), 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 183958, at *24 (D.N.J. Dec. 18,
2013) ("The Court notes that it is possible that the
Internet subscriber did not download the infringing material.
It is also possible, however, that the subscriber either
knows, or has additional information which could lead to the
identification of the alleged infringer. Accordingly, the
Court finds that the information sought by the subpoena is
relevant."); see also Malibu Media LLC v. Doe,
No. 14-3874 (WJM) (MF), Order (D.E. 7), at 3 (D.N.J. Sept. 2,
2014) (quoting Malibu Media, LLC v. Does, No.
12-07789 (KM) (MCA), 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 183958, at *24
(D.N.J. Dec. 18, 2013)).
the Court determines that good cause exists to allow
Plaintiff to discover the name and address of the IP
subscriber. That information serves the purposes outlined
above, while also taking into consideration the impact that
disclosure might have on a subscriber who is not personally
responsible for the alleged infringement. Therefore, the
Court grants Plaintiff's motion [D.E. 5]. Plaintiff may
serve Optimum Online with a subpoena pursuant to Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 45 that is limited to obtaining the name
and address of the subscriber of IP address 126.96.36.199.
Plaintiff may not seek the subscriber's telephone
number(s), email address(es), or MAC addresses. Plaintiff
shall attach a copy of this Letter Opinion and Order to the
subpoena. Plaintiff shall limit its use of the information to
this litigation, and Plaintiff shall be prepared to provide
copies of the responsive information to any defendant who
enters an appearance in this case.[2]

Former Equifax CEO Richard Smith, who stepped down just last week, faced a roomful of angry senators and some tough questions at a hearing Wednesday. It was the second of three congressional hearings he is testifying in front of this week.
Republicans and Democrats alike are upset about the massive hack of Social Security numbers and other sensitive information at the consumer credit reporting company.
"This simply is not a company that deserves to be trusted with Americans' personal data," said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, the Senate Banking Committee's ranking member. "Your actions have exposed over half the country's adults to financial harm."
The latest word from the embattled company is that the hack involved more than 145 million Americans.
Smith admits the breach occurred because Equifax failed to act on warnings to fix a software security problem. On top of that, senior executives sold millions of dollars in stock after the breach but before the company made it public. And the efforts to help consumers had a series of missteps.
"The whole thing is staggering," said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. "Equifax and this whole industry should be completely transformed."
Warren, who has already introduced legislation related to the Equifax breach, told Smith: "When companies like Equifax mess up, senior executives like you should be held personally accountable and the company should pay mandatory and severe financial penalties for every consumer record that is stolen."
One cybersecurity expert who spoke to NPR said he is getting calls from both Democrats and Republicans interested in creating new rules for the industry. And at the hearing Wednesday, Republicans were landing some verbal blows on Smith too.
Republican John Kennedy of Louisiana raised a series of questions about Equifax's basic business model and noted that the company also has a premium data monitoring service that it charges consumers for. "You can't run your business without me," he said. "My data is the product that you sell."
So Kennedy said it seems "incongruent" that Equifax charges people to make sure that the information it is collecting is accurate. "I mean I don't pay extra in a restaurant to prevent the waiter from spittin' in my food," the senator said.
Warren zeroed in on another way Equifax makes money. She said Equifax has some of the "worst" cybersecurity around because it actually has no incentive to protect people's data from being stolen and used for identity theft.
Warren said that while Equifax is offering free "credit monitoring" for a year, after that consumers will have to pay if they want to keep getting that protection. More than 7 million people have signed up for the free monitoring through Equifax since the breach, Warren said.
"If just 1 million of them buy just one more year of monitoring through Equifax at the standard rate of $17 a month, that's more than $200 million in revenue for Equifax because of this breach," she added.
Warren detailed other ways Equifax is already making more money as a result of the breach. For example, she said a company called LifeLock has seen a tenfold surge in enrollment since the breach. According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, LifeLock purchases credit monitoring services from Equifax — so more money for LifeLock means more money for Equifax.
"You've got three different ways that Equifax is making millions of dollars off its own screw-up," Warren said. (LifeLock is among NPR's financial supporters.)
In the days after the breach, some Equifax executives made money another way — by selling millions of dollars' worth of the company's stock. Smith said "to the best of my knowledge" the executives didn't know of the breach at the time of the stock sales. "These are honorable men," he said.
But such explanations didn't seem to satisfy Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. "This really stinks," he said. "[T]he bottom line here is you had a hack that you found out about on [July] 29, you told the FBI about the breach and on that same day some high-level executives sell $2 million worth of stock."
Lawmakers also raised questions about the compensation Smith stands to get as he retires. "You leave with your base salary, unvested options and a pension, roughly valued at $90 million. Help me to understand why that's fair?" Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, asked.
There was some disagreement on the exact amount of the pension and stock. But Smith said, "I've been fortunate; I've worked hard and I don't set those compensation levels, the board does, and the board is elected every year."
It's unclear whether the Equifax board will move to reduce or claw back any of that compensation.
Senators, pretty angry senators, had some tough questions for Equifax yesterday. The heat was really on the CEO who just resigned. As NPR's Chris Arnold reports, Republicans and Democrats alike are upset about the massive hack of Social Security numbers and other sensitive information, one of the worst data breaches in American history.
CHRIS ARNOLD, BYLINE: The hack affected more than 145 million Americans - that's nearly half the U.S. population - and it happened because the company failed to act on warnings from the Department of Homeland Security to fix a software problem leaving it vulnerable to a breach for more than two months. That's what allowed the hackers to break in. Democrat Sherrod Brown told former CEO Richard Smith...
SHERROD BROWN: This simply is not a company that deserves to be trusted with Americans' personal data. Your actions have exposed over half the country's adults to financial harm.
ARNOLD: This catastrophic data breach has lawmakers taking a close look at the entire credit-monitoring industry. Both Republicans and Democrats are calling cybersecurity experts to discuss legislation, and in the hearing, Republicans were landing some verbal blows on Smith, too. Republican John Kennedy of Louisiana raised a series of questions about Equifax's basic business model.
JOHN KENNEDY: You collect my information without my permission. You take it along with everyone else's information and you sell that information to businesses. Is that basically correct?
RICHARD SMITH: That's largely correct.
ARNOLD: Kennedy said he didn't have a problem with businesses making money, but he took issue with an Equifax data-monitoring service which he said basically charges people to make sure the data Equifax collects on them isn't full of mistakes.
KENNEDY: I mean, I don't pay extra in a restaurant to prevent the waiter from spitting in my food.
ARNOLD: Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren zeroed-in on another way that Equifax makes money.
ELIZABETH WARREN: In August, just a couple of weeks before you disclosed this massive hack, you said - and I want to quote you here - "fraud is a huge opportunity for us. It is a massive, growing business for us."
ARNOLD: In fact just a few days ago, the IRS agreed to pay Equifax for fraud prevention services. That struck Senator Kennedy as a little odd.
KENNEDY: You realize to many Americans right now, that looks like we're giving Lindsay Lohan the keys to the mini bar.
SMITH: I understand your point.
ARNOLD: Elizabeth Warren said the incentives in the industry are out of whack. Equifax makes money selling credit-monitoring and fraud prevention services. It works through other businesses to do that, too, and has contracts with the government, and this massive hack means there'll be more demand for fraud prevention. So, she said, it's no wonder that the company didn't guard people's data more closely.
WARREN: Look, you've got three different ways that Equifax is making money, millions of dollars, off its own screw-up.
ARNOLD: Equifax is offering free credit-monitoring for one year, but then people will have to pay to keep that service. Warren did some math and said that if just a small fraction of the people who already signed up for the free service stick with it and pay for just one year...
WARREN: That's more than $200 million in revenue for Equifax because of this breach.
ARNOLD: Then there's the issue of Equifax executives who sold the company's stock before the hack was made public. Montana Democrat Jon Tester.
JON TESTER: You had a hack. You told the F - the FBI about the breach. On that same day, high-level execs sell $2 million worth of stock.
ARNOLD: That didn't seem to be passing Tester's sniff test.
TESTER: This really stinks. I mean, it really smells really bad.
ARNOLD: For his part, Smith defended the executives, saying to the best of his knowledge they did not know about the breach when they sold the stock.
SMITH: These are honorable men who followed the protocol that was outlined by the organization.
ARNOLD: Lawmakers also raised questions about how much money Richard Smith stands to get as he retires. Democrat Brian Schatz.
BRIAN SCHATZ: You leave with your base salary, unvested options and a pension roughly valued at $90 million. Do you think that's fair?
ARNOLD: Smith first said he wasn't sure that was the right amount, but then responded...
SMITH: I've been fortunate. I've worked hard. And I don't set those compensation levels. The board does. The board's elected every year.
ARNOLD: It's unclear whether the board will move to reduce or claw back any of Smith's compensation. Chris Arnold, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Everling, Jakob (17th century)
Jakob Everling (Eberling, Eberlin, Everlin, Everlinck), was an elder in the Obersülzen church in the Palatinate, who lived in the second half of the 17th century and was deeply concerned for the oppressed circumstances of his brethren.
On 2 November 1671 he informed Hans Vlamingh at Amsterdam of the arrival of a number of Swiss Mennonite emigrants to the Palatinate.1 On 4 January 1672 he wrote another letter to the Amsterdam congregation, with further information about the refugees settling in Obersülzen.2 Thereupon the Dutch Mennonite Committee for Foreign Needs sent a large sum of money to support these immigrants, and later another sum (11,000 guilders), which was distributed by Everling and others. They gave their report in a letter3 signed by Jacob Everling, Johann Krämer, Valentin Huthwol, and Heinrich Kosel. This letter (undated, 1695 or 1696) shows that Everling, of whom nothing more is known, was still living at that date. In a letter of 16 May 1672,4 he wrote that he could not recognize the Dutch Mennonites as brethren because they admitted marriages with nonmembers of the church. Furthermore he declared himself satisfied by their letter which had informed him that they were Biblical in the doctrine of satisfaction, and that they did not admit to the communion persons who had not been baptized.

Sanford regrets 'wounded warrior'
Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who after battling fall-out from an extramarital affair is now running for Congress, tweeted Friday that he "meant no disrespect" to members of the military, a comment that came after he called himself a "wounded warrior" in an interview with a local television station earlier this week.
"I meant no disrespect to our heroic men and women in uniform. I used the wrong analogy trying to make a broader point," Sanford tweeted, several hours after POLITICO reported his earlier comments.
The Wounded Warrior Project assists veterans who return home with injuries, and strives to "foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history," according to the organization's website. Sanford called himself a "wounded warrior" on Wednesday while describing his decision to run.
"It's hard," Sanford said in an interview with the Charleston, S.C., station WCBD-TV. "I'm scared to death in human terms. I mean, as I say, I'm a wounded warrior. I'm going to step out as best I can and try and advance ideas that I've long believed in. But it's not without fear and trepidation because you know you're going to get hit, and you're going to get hit hard."
Sanford announced Wednesday that he would seek to fill the House seat of now-Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
He acknowledged in 2009 that he was having an affair with an Argentinian woman, to whom he now says he is engaged. Sanford's former wife, Jenny, had also been eyeing the Charleston-based House seat but is not expected to run.
He said that he had consulted with his ex-wife, who was involved in many of his earlier races, about the possibility of seeking the seat.
"It was the first visit that I made as these calls and emails started coming in," Sanford said. "I went and visited her at the house and said, 'Look, if you have any interest in running, then I'm out, because there would be nothing crazier than a husband and wife running against each other.' I've talked to her about it."
The former governor, who has also served in Congress, said he feels he has a "fresh start."
"I mean, we all hope for redemption, we all hope for second chances," Sanford said. "Whether or not I'm granted one, time will tell. But what I would say, is, it's a fresh start in that, you know, after you have failed at something, I think you see life through a different prism. So the prism I have is maybe with a little bit greater humility and a little bit more reserve, but it is to say, 'Well, can I take what I learned on the way up and on the way down, can I take what I learned in Congress and the governorship, and apply it?'"

Walters announces run for Congress [Updated]
State Sen. Mimi Walters announced Tuesday that she plans to run for the 45th Congressional District seat retiring U.S. Rep. John Campbell (R-Irvine) will vacate next year.
Walters, a Republican, currently represents the 37th District in the California Senate. The district includes Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine and portions of Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach.
"John Campbell has served the people of Orange County, California and the United States with distinction and with a commitment to a firm set of principles," Walters said in a prepared statement. "He will leave behind some big shoes to fill. In Congress, I will continue to fight for the fiscal responsibility, less intrusive government and property rights, and look forward to representing our special part of Orange County in the nation's capital."
The 45th Congressional District includes Irvine, Tustin, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo and portions of Anaheim and Orange.
Supervisor John Moorlach, a Republican who represents District 2 on the five-member Orange County Board of Supervisors, also said Tuesday that he is exploring running for the congressional seat — he recently ruled out a bid to run for governor against incumbent Jerry Brown — and has received positive feedback so far.
Moorlach, who will be termed out of the board next year, said he hasn't made a formal announcement yet, but that after a recent dinner with family, they gave him "the green light" to move forward. He will be working on fundraising and other aspects of a potential campaign.
"So far, so good," Moorlach said. "Everything's positive … full speed ahead and having fun."
He said the news about Campbell came as a surprise.
"It wasn't on the radar screen," Moorlach said.
The Costa Mesa resident doesn't currently live within the 45th Congressional District, though per federal law, it does not prevent him from running for it.
Moorlach said he has served the area in the past as the county treasurer, and that he would consider moving to the district if he won.
Walters said Tuesday that U.S. Reps. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) and Darrell Issa (R-Vista), as well as Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and Sheriff Sandra Hutchens, have endorsed her.
Walters, a UCLA graduate, got her start in politics as a member in the Laguna Niguel City Council 1996.
Campbell, who is serving out his fifth term, announced Thursday that he will not seek reelection in 2014.
"At the end of this term, I will have spent 14 years serving in full-time, elected politics," Campbell said in a prepared statement. "I am not, nor did I ever intend to be, a career politician. I am ready to begin a new chapter in my life."
Campbell was elected to the newly redrawn 45th Congressional District seat in the November general election. He won the seat against former Irvine Mayor Sukhee Kang with 58.5% of the vote.
He was first elected to Congress in a 2005 special election to serve the 48th Congressional District. He had the seat until 2012, when the district was redrawn.
Before getting elected to Congress, Campbell served terms in the state Senate and Assembly.

I would say that Line of Sight trumps, and as he never left 3 square range, you get to keep the stream.
I would say that Line of Sight trumps, and as he never left 3 square range, you get to keep the stream.
I have a question from Scenario 4 of the Sedgewick Scramble campaign. In order to win you have to summon and defeat Big Boogaloo. On the Big Boogaloo card it says that "When two Boogaloo Manifestations occupy the same space, remove both from the scenario and place Big Boogaloo (from outside the scenario) into that space." The Special in the scenario states, "Closing the last Open Gate moves all ghosts on the map to the Spirit World, except for (Big) Boogaloo"
My question is this: Is getting two Boogaloo Manifestations to meet the ONLY way to summon Big Boogaloo? Or does he emerge if you close all the gates? If he emerges when you close the gates, does he emerge from the last gate closed? The Special does not state that he emerges when all gates are closed...
We had been playing that if you closed all the gates, and he had not been summoned, you lose.
I know this is a dumb question, but i don't understand Venkman's second ability and how to use it.

Matt I think he means Venkman's Updated 2nd ability Which is "Once during Your turn if an adjacent Ghostbuster would get slimed , swap spaces with that ghostbuster and you get slimed instead." This ability is not optional meaning you don't get to decide weather or not your want to switch spaces with the adjacent Ghostbuster it is mandatory that you do. you can also get an XP point from Venkmans first ability when his second ability is completed.
The second ability your talking about Matt I don't believe was in the final print of the game and was changed for whatever reason to the ability I just posted. Not sure if what you meant by the first game was being the unreleased test copy that was used before it was officially released to the public. If that's what you meant you are correct, but that ability as we know was not in the final product.

School Safety: Are Our Kids As Prepared As Possible?
by Brian Braiker
After the Newtown tragedy, some parents wonder if we're doing everything we can to prepare our kids for the worst
One of the several questions that keeps nagging many parents in the days following the unthinkable Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting concerns preparedness.
Were the teachers as prepared as they could have been? Were the kids prepared? Most pressing of all: Should we be teaching our kids what to do if someone enters their school with a gun?
One reader posted to Parenting's Facebook wall: "As a parent I'm terrified and confused. Should I teach my kids to point out as soon as they seen a gun? Should I teach my kids to stay quiet?"
The fact is that many schools implemented lockdown drills – in addition to fire and other emergency evacuation drills – in 1999, after the Columbine massacre.
At Sandy Hook, teachers and staff had indeed drilled for an extreme emergency, never knowing how horribly useful the training would become.
The actions of first grade teacher Kaitlin Roig have become widely known and celebrated. She locked her classroom door and barricaded herself and her 14 students in a locked bathroom.
Library clerk Mary Ann Jacob sent the kids in the library to a back closet between book shelves, a plan developed in advance.
The principal lost her life attempting to stop the gunman. First grade teacher Victoria Soto is being hailed a hero for hiding her students from the gunman. She died protecting them.
Plus: Planning for the Worst-Case Scenarios Help Us Feel Safe
"They did everything they could do," Bill Bond of the National Association of Secondary School Principals told Parenting.com. "Shooters react to noise. The teachers got their kids quiet; they got them down. They got some of them in the closet. When you do all of that for your kids, and you die, you've given everything you can."
Before coming to the NASSP, Bond was the principal at Heath High School in Paducah, KY, where on December 1, 1997, a freshman student shot eight fellow students at Heath High School. Three girls died and two others suffered paralyzing injuries. He has since devoted his career to school safety.
But are we supposed to drill our kids as if they were Marines? When asked if we should be drilling our first graders on what to do in the event of a shooting, beyond following teacher orders, Bond emphatically said no.
"This is definitely not training for young kids," he said. "It is something that teachers, administrators, need to be trained in. The kids are going to take their cue from what their teacher asks them to do."
Bond does speak frequently talk to high school kids, who he tells to speak up if they see or hear about a gun. The shooting at his school, he said, could have been prevented because eight students had seen the gun prior to its being fired. He does not deliver this message to children younger than seventh grade, however.
"Little kids would naturally tell," he said. "In high school they would naturally not tell. In high school they'd worry about snitching."
Kenneth Trump, president of National School Safety and Security Services, echoed Bond's praise for Sandy Hook's preparedness. "It does sound as though the teachers did everything humanly possible, down to risking their lives, to protect the children in this Connecticut school," Trump told ABCNews.
That we live in a world where children must practice lockdown procedures along with fire drills has become a sad sign of the times.
"A lot of states have lockdown drills and security measures in place. It's not unusual at all," said Kathy Christie, a researcher at the Education Commission of the States, which advises governors and state legislators, described the requirements that some states have developed about drills.
"You have tornado drills, you have hurricane drills. I think people after Columbine began to see that kids do need to have a plan of action," she said, adding a dash of her own experience with drilling as a child: "I grew up long ago and we had fire drills and tornado drills. We had nuclear drills. I still remember getting under my desk in the '50s. Looking back that probably wasn't going to do us much good."

Happy Friday, friends! I'm back today with another bullet-point review of a book that's been quite popular and talked-about around the blogosphere lately…
The book
Melissa Albert, The Hazel Wood, Published by Penguin, February 8th, 2018.
Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice's life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice's grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get: her mother is stolen away―by a figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set. Alice's only lead is the message her mother left behind: "Stay away from the Hazel Wood."
Alice has long steered clear of her grandmother's cultish fans. But now she has no choice but to ally with classmate Ellery Finch, a Hinterland superfan who may have his own reasons for wanting to help her. To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother's tales began―and where she might find out how her own story went so wrong.
- I found the writing and Melissa Albert's storytelling captivating. I loved her writing style and felt instantly immersed into the story. The moments of tension, happiness, creepiness and everything else went right through me as I read. To be completely honest, I aim to write like her someday.
- The Hazel Wood was very imaginative: I love how it took a little of its inspiration on fairytales, yet spinned it in its completely own way. The stories that are told within the story, of princesses and ice, murder and revenge… it felt like reading fairytales, really, if slightly creepier than the ones I am used to.
- Unlike popular opinion, asking for there to be more of the book set in the Hinterland, a.k.a the magical place here, I was quite happy with the rhythm of the story somehow? I liked how everything set up slowly, how they went onto a quest, how the real world gradually changed around them as weirdness arose. That was really, really cool to read.
- I really liked the characters, especially Alice, our main character, and Finch. Alice was complex and hard to fall in love with, yet I rooted for her and wanted just as badly as she did to find out the truth about her family and who she was. Finch was such a precious character, I fell in love with him right on the first page and wanted to hug him at all times.
- I appreciated that there was no real romance here. Where, in your usual fantasy book, you always find a hint of romance and kisses here and there, here… well, there just was an interesting and slow developing FRIENDSHIP I really appreciated. Did I want more? Yes, because I am like that. But I also appreciated that it stayed a great friendship.
- I also really loved the fact that this book was so family-centered, with the strong relationship between Alice and her mother, Ella. They had such a strong bond and I loved Alice's determination and love for her mother showing all through the story.
- Unlike popular opinion again (or, from what I have seen and heard), I kind of found myself disconnecting a bit more from the story as it went on in the Hinterland, a.k.a the fantasy world in this story. Somehow, the beginning, the quest, the mystery, the real world becoming weird and everything, had me REALLY hooked. The last third of the story, set in the real Hinterland, found myself a bit… lost, somehow? Maybe that's because there was so little in the actual book developed in the Hinterland, I didn't quite have time to get accustomed to its rules and strange characters.
- I wanted to get to know Alice's mother maybe a bit more. I feel like we got a great mother-daughter relationship, yet I missed some… I don't know, bonding moments, real ones, really showing Ella off a little bit?
- I was expecting a bit of a mind-blowing ending that I did not get, somehow. It was a good ending and wrapped things up nicely and left me with no questions, yet… I don't know, I wanted fireworks and I just had a beautiful sunset.
The Hazel Wood was a really great debut and I understand the blogosphere's frenzy about it all. I was captivated by the story and its characters, by the imaginative world-building and relationships. It missed a little something for it to be a mind-blowing read, but I would still recommend it to the ones that like their fairytales dark and mesmerizing.
Final rating: 4 drops!
Thank you to Penguin Random House UK and NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book. This did not, in any way, influence my opinion on this.
Trigger warnings: a bit of graphic violence and macabre.
Did you read The Hazel Wood? Do you want to read it?
Are you a fan of fairytales in stories, or fairytailes retellings? What are some of your favorites? Let me know in comments!

Defender Dan Gargan headed a late equalizer for Toronto as the Houston Dynamo and Toronto FC drew 1-1 Thursday night at BMO Field. Brian Ching had headed the visitors into the lead off a corner kick in the 73rd minute.
The game was marred when Toronto designated player Julian de Guzman and Houston's Joseph Ngwenya were both ejected in the 62nd minute. The scuffle resulted when Ngwenya and TFC defender Nana Attakora briefly grappled after Ngwenya kept running the ball goalward, after not hearing the whistle blown ending the play. De Guzman leapt in and put his hand on Ngwenya's face.
The draw extends Toronto's MLS unbeaten streak to seven games in MLS action. The Dynamo were hampered by the unavailability of leading assist man Brad Davis, forced from the lineup for the first time this season with a left hip-flexor strain.
The game promised some good action early on. Just two minutes in, Ching headed a looping Danny Cruz free kick inches wide of the Toronto net. Toronto responded a minute later, when De Guzman almost put the home side ahead when he fired wide after Chad Barrett's head-on shot attempt was blocked.
From then on, the battle between both sides was waged largely throughout the midfield, with no team getting clear possession of the ball. Toronto's best moves came just before halftime. Barrett found De Rosario on the edge of the six-yard box. DeRo flicked a pass onto Jacob Peterson, who fired into the side netting from close range.
Just before the whistle signaled the end of the first half, Toronto huddled in Houston's box for the corner kick, forcing Dynamo goalkeeper Pat Onstad to make a couple of good saves to keep his team level. The game continued on the same first-half tune during the second 45, but things began to heat up around the hour of play and did not cool down until the end.
In the 58th minute, Brian Mullan sprang past the Toronto defense after receiving a nice through pass from Bobby Boswell. Mullan slotted in a low shot past goalkeeper Stefan Frei, but the linesman ruled the Dynamo forward offside, though replays showed otherwise.
Fifteen minutes later, with both sides playing with 10 men after Ngwenya's and De Guzman's ejections, Ching found the go-ahead goal off a corner from Cruz. It looked as if Houston would go ahead by two just a minute later. Houston's Lovel Palmer drove the ball from 25 yards out after Ching laid off a pass, but Frei dove and made a spectacular one-handed save.
Not to be outdone, Onstad made a great save of his own in the 83rd minute, when he tipped fellow countryman De Rosario's volley over the bar. On the ensuing corner, however, Gargan headed a ball home from well on the right side and into the far post.
As the game closed and Toronto went for the win, more shoving occurred. This time, it was TFC's Amadou Sanyang that was the player punished, receiving a red card for drawing his second yellow of the match.
With the draw, Toronto, now 5-4-4 with 19 points, moves within five of Eastern Conference leaders Columbus and New York. They next host the Colorado Rapids on July 10. Houston, now 5-7-3 with 18 points, played its third game in just six days and currently sits in a three-way tie for fourth in the West with Dallas and San Jose. The Dynamo will face Chivas USA at home in U.S. Open Cup action on July 6.

An Oklahoma City teacher allegedly fired for encouraging support for LGBT students will be reinstated in the classroom, a judge ruled on Tuesday.
Joe Quigley was fired in May by the Oklahoma City school board on grounds that he neglected his duties and didn't follow school policies. But the gay teacher said that was not the case, and that he was targeted for firing because he spoke out against antigay bigotry.
"His outspokenness made him a very visible teacher in that district," Timothy Melton, Quigley's attorney, told NewsOK.com. "The administration at Northwest Classen High School has, for the last two years, done its best to set Mr. Quigley up to fail. Fortunately, he is too good a teacher and too strong a personality to be defeated by petty, nonteaching bureaucrats who put rules ahead of the children."
Kathleen Kennedy, a spokeswoman from the Oklahoma City School District, confirmed Quigley would be reinstated, though she's not yet sure at what school he will return. No one from the district has ever responded to Quigley's claims that he was targeted because of his pro-gay stances.
Quigley told NewsOK in an e-mail that he is looking forward to returning to work and is hopeful the district will add sexual orientation and gender identity to the sections in the student-parent handbook that cover harassment.

Now that ATI has unleashed its new video cards, Sapphire is stepping up to the plate with its forthcoming HD 2900 XT Toxic. The kit pairs two HD 2900 XT cards with a drive-bay-mounted water cooling system designed with its own reservoir, pump and radiator system. What's cool about the system is that it'll provide enough cooling to keep your video cards and your CPU from overheating (even if you decide to overclock the cards). Pricing hasn't been set yet, though the kit should be out in the next few weeks.

George Clooney and his father were arrested Friday while protesting outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, DC.
The Oscar-winner was seen in cuffs with his hands behind his back, being led away from the embassy at about 10:45 a.m and put into the back of a police car.
"I'm just trying to raise attention, because attention is the only way these things ever happen," Clooney said at the protest before his arrest. He called for Sudan to "stop randomly killing its own people."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"At the very least, [they need] some humanitarian aid," he said. "Let your senators, let your congressmen, let your president know."
The "Descendants" star and his father Nick were released later Friday afternoon. The Clooneys had joined a host of politicians and activists including Martin Luther King III and NAACP President Ben Jealous for the protest and were warned three times to leave. All 18 people taken into custody were charged with crossing with a police line.
The demonstrators were demanding immediate action to stop Sudan's blockage of food and other humanitarian aid to the border area with South Sudan before "it becomes the largest humanitarian crisis in the world," Clooney's rep said in a statement.
Clooney has traveled to the region six times to bring attention to Darfur and Suday and testified Congress earlier this week.
On his most recent trip, he and his film crew came under fire. He told the "Today" show's Ann Curry on Wednesday that the rockets overhead were "close enough to feel it."

The Washington Post Weighs In

Pegoraro writes: "On Thursday, MLB.com's Gould said 'I can't imagine something like this happening again.'"
I have to say, when Allan started blogging about this, it didn't surprise me in the slightest. I had various MLB subscriptions for a couple years (until I moved back to lovely New England and lovely NESN), and I found that MLB.com was run with a remarkable combination of incompetence and greed.
My favorite thing was when they would send you an email saying that your subscription was being automatically renewed and giving you _no method_ to terminate it. When I got that email in the spring of '06, I emailed them to say that I wanted to unsubscribe... and got no response. So I called them, waited on hold, spoke to a guy... and they charged my credit card anyway.
Around the same time they got rid of the the RealPlayer feed, which meant that it was not possible to watch games on a Mac in full screen. (Maybe things have changed since then?)
At the time I figured that MLB had just hired someone to run the web site and they didn't know what they were doing. But after the whole Extra Innings controversy, and this... I think Bud Selig just doesn't want us to be able to watch the games.

(Warning on Content)
In March 2000 the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) organization of Massachusetts held its 10 Year Anniversary GLSEN/Boston conference at Tufts University. This conference was fully supported by the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Safe Schools Program, the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and some of the presenters even received federal money. During the 2000 conference, workshop leaders led a "youth only, ages 14-21″ session that offered lessons in "fisting" a dangerous sexual practice. During the same workshop an activist asked 14 year-old students, "Spit or swallow?… Is it rude?" The unbelievable audio clip is posted here. Barack Obama's "Safe Schools Czar" Kevin Jennings is the founder of GLSEN. He was paid $273,573.96 as its executive director in 2007. Jennings was the keynote speaker at the 2000 GLSEN conference.
Unfortunately for GLSEN, undercover journalists with Mass Resistance recorded these outrageous sessions at Tufts University. The audio was later leaked to a local radio station. This created such an uproar that GLSEN leaders were forced to apologize for their disgusting behavior.
Despite the controversy, Barack Obama's Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings and his GLSEN organization did nothing to clean up their act. In fact in 2001 activists handed out "fisting kits" to the children and teachers who attended the GLSEN conference.
Advertisement - story continues below
But that's not all. The children who attended Kevin Jennnings' GLSEN 2005 Conference also left with their own "Little Black Book – Queer in the 21st Century".
Here's one page from that Black Book for teens:
The entire Little Black Book is posted here.
TRENDING: BREAKING: Multiple Injuries After Car Plows Through Crowd of Trump Supporters in Yorba Linda, California (VIDEO)
And, here's the transcript from item #3 above:
"No Dookie On Your Noodle! Nobody knows better than queer men that sh*t happens. It's just a fact of life…and butts*x. While there are steps to take to avoid a mess, they're not always practical for the boy on the go. Condoms allow you a certain freedom that can be a great selling point if you're cruising the park and don't want stray spunk on your new polyester shirt…"
Advertisement - story continues below
So, basically, in the crudest language imaginable, GLSEN recommended that "boys" go out cruising for anonymous anal sex in public parks with strangers.
Thanks to a reader for pointing this out.
Today Kevin Jennings, the founder of GLSEN, is Barack Obama's Safe Schools Czar.
There's more to come.
UPDATE: Grassroots Nation has started a petition to fire Kevin Jennings.
—Please think of your kids and go sign it now!
UPDATE 2: Monte Kuligowski at the American Thinker says the Kevin Jennings appointment will hurt Obama immeasurably once the story breaks through the double-bolted door of the "mainstream" newsroom.

Carrie Underwood Named One of the Most Mind-Numbingly Hot Women of 2012
Does Carrie Underwood's stunning beauty and toned physique make your mind go blank and leave you weak in the knees? If so, you're not alone. According to GuySpeed, many people are 'suffering' from the same symptoms, which is why they named the country music superstar one of the most mind-numbingly hot women of 2012.
The 'Blown Away' singer lands at No. 30 on the first-annual countdown, blowing away a bevy of beautiful ladies as one of the fairest women in all the land. Though Underwood is now as physically perfect as humanly possible, the singer admits she wasn't blessed with a naturally flawless complexion.
"If I could go back and talk to my 15-year-old self I'd be like, 'Seriously, listen to your mom,'" says the Olay beauty products spokesperson. "Drink more water, put more sunscreen on, moisturize. There are a lot of people like me who wish they did more."
Underwood has become the fresh face of Olay's Beauty by Example charitable campaign, which has joined forces with the Looks Good, Feels Good organization. Women are encouraged to visit Olay's Facebook page and sign a declaration saying that their mom is beautiful, both inside and outside. Olay will then donate some of their product to the goodwill organization, which helps boost the self esteem of women who are being treated for cancer.
Underwood is currently gearing up for the premiere of her highly-anticipated 'Blown Away' music video, which will debut tonight (July 3o) on 'E! News' and E! Online. The track is the second radio single from her recent chart-topping album of the same name.
