In an intensive, one-day event that is part of a series of G2 Intelligence Lab Leadership Summits, participants will engage in conversation on practical strategies to maximize reimbursement revenue under new rules resulting from the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA). These rules have created new challenges for clinical laboratory professionals in hospitals and health systems to navigate as market forces require forward-thinking strategic management.
Mr. Myers will facilitate morning and afternoon sessions at this event centered on PAMA's effect on clinical laboratory reimbursement and the current and future states of the laboratory in this new environment. In the morning, he will share the latest news on PAMA and legal and lobbying efforts regarding the legislation, as well as examine the prospective impact on managed care reimbursements for hospitals and health systems. His afternoon session will focus on what's next for clinical laboratories, examining future strategic options that organizations can take to maximize revenue and manage costs in response to changes ushered in by PAMA.
Mr. Myers has spoken about PAMA and other key topics at numerous leading, clinical laboratory industry events and has more than 20 years of experience in healthcare financial management and administration. In his role as Vice President of Consulting, he oversees strategic consulting and laboratory outreach engagements. He also provides expertise in benchmarking and analytics, operations improvement, and revenue growth for hospital-based laboratories. Prior to joining Chi Solutions, Inc., an Accumen company, he held executive- and director-level finance positions with the laboratory divisions of two prominent academic health systems in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, where his skilled fiscal leadership produced significant margin, cost, productivity, and revenue cycle process improvements. A Certified Public Accountant, Mr. Myers graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Business Law.

A study conducted by global payments technology company, Visa, showed that more and more Filipinos are turning to their smartphone for mobile banking and payments.
Visa's recent Consumer Payment Attitudes survey reveals that Filipinos are realizing the benefits of cashless systems with nearly three in four individuals utilizing a banking app on their phones, and more than half using mobile banking services at least once a week. It is further revealed that convenience and availability were the two top reasons why Filipinos are using mobile banking apps more frequently.
According to the study, the most common functions of banking apps are to check account balances (85 per cent); pay bills (63 per cent); and transfer money (59 per cent). It is also shown that 80 per cent of surveyed Filipinos stressed they would prefer using banking apps to check balances and pay bills over visiting a physical branch.
Moreover, sixty-five per cent of Filipinos have used their smartphones to make purchases. In terms of frequency, 41 per cent of them make mobile payments at least once a week. The top reasons for making mobile payments are convenience, ownership of smartphones, and security of mobile payments.
It is further revealed that six in 10 Filipinos have used on demand services such as booking transportation and ordering beauty services using apps in the Philippines. The trend seems to be higher for the emerging affluent at 70 per cent. The motives for shifting to on-demand services are due to convenience and efficiency, along with ease of shopping in the comfort of home.
The Philippines, which is still majorly a cash-based society, is taking huge strides towards having a cashless economy. Embracing this system allows for faster, more convenient and, contrary to popular belief, safer transactions. Generally, it also affects the economy positively—as producing paper or plastic money is quite costly. For these reasons, the government has launched its "cash-lite" agenda, which aims to reduce the use of cash over a span of 20 years. Visa's study shows that the country is more than ready for this change.

The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that an appellate court's decision to grant a second trial to a plaintiff in a car accident injury case was the right move, thus securing the $250,000 in damages she won in the second jury verdict after suing her mother for alleged negligence while driving.
It's important to point out that anyone reluctant to pursue damage claims against loved ones (spouses, children, parents, siblings, cousins, friends, etc.) that naming your loved one as a defendant is really only a technical matter. What you are really after is fair and just compensation from the defendant's insurance policy. It's not an indication that you harbor the notion your loved one meant you harm or even that you expect them to pay anything directly from their own coffers. Auto insurance is required for the registration of any motor vehicle in Florida, and therefore if you are a passenger in a vehicle driven by a relative or friend whose negligence caused or contributed to a crash that resulted in your injuries, you may be entitled to pursue damages on that claim just like anyone else. In most cases, plaintiffs cannot name the insurance company as a defendant because courts generally agree that jurors' knowledge that defendant had insurance can be prejudicial.
Some auto insurance policies have exclusions for "resident relatives," which are those related by blood or marriage who also reside in the insured's household. The question of whether benefits are payable to the injured party will depend on the exact language of the policy and the relationship between the insured and claimant. Continue reading →

SUSSEX BOROUGH -- We all remember a time when Led Zeppelin captivated our imaginations with their dynamic range of musical soundscapes.
SUSSEX BOROUGH -- We all remember a time when Led Zeppelin captivated our imaginations with their dynamic range of musical soundscapes. As teenagers, we all remember the times when we sat with friends around the turntable blasting our Led Zeppelin records until those vinyls were rendered unplayable.
We have memories of Robert Plant's mystical vocals speaking of faraway lands like the ones described in JRR Tolkien novels, Jimmy Page's innovative guitar theatrics, John Paul Jones's groovy basslines that added texture to the music, and John Bonham's sledgehammer like drumming that helped to cement the emotive qualities of the music being the soundtrack to our younger years.
Even though the days of Led Zeppelin playing sold-out shows in Madison Square Garden may be over, the legacy that Led Zeppelin cemented does not have to fade away because Led Zeppelin tribute band Zepp Again plans to make America Zepp Again! Mike Sanders, Kevin Slover, Steven Schnaper and David Blampied are committed to accurately recreating the Led Zeppelin sound to help usher in the great times by playing the songs that represent the broad spectrum of their catalogue.
Zepp Again will perform at the Cornerstone Playhouse, 74 Main St., Sussex Borough, on Saturday, May 11, at 8 p.m. This year they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the "Led Zeppelin I" and "Led Zeppelin II" albums.
All seats are reserved seating and are $22 each. Purchase tickets online at www.mycptix.com or call 973-702-0687 for more information.
Cornerstone Playhouse is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to presenting the arts in the greater Sussex County area. Funding has been made available in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, through the State/County Partnership Block Grant Program, as administered through the Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council.

Can You Guess What Piece of Furniture is Hiding in this Box?
Looks like a handcrafted, heavy-duty chest, right? Yeah, well, it just looks like that. It's really something else entirely. Can you guess what might be inside?
When you open the top, this is what you see (any guess?):
Okay, now I'm practically giving it away.
If you guessed 'bed' you are correct. The idea is to throw a double-bed air mattress on when company visits. Perfect for the petite guest room or the home office that also serves as a guest room.
Not sure who the builder is of this particular bed in a box, but the plan (YES, you can build one too) comes from WoodChuck over at 3D Woodworking Plans which you can purchase for $6.95. And to see more of the chest's transformation, visit SlipTalk.

The error message is misleading. According to the instructions you are to alias the first initial and select the last name. Like this:
SELECT SUBSTR(first_name, 1, 1) as initial, last_name FROM customers

Police seek expansion of Connecticut workers' compensation benefits
New legislation is set to be considered by the Connecticut Senate that would expand the workers' compensation benefits available to first responders for mental illness they experience after responding to a traumatic event. In the wake of the tragic Newtown shootings, some are finding the state's current workers' compensation system is not fully equipped to handle these situations and the care that is often required afterward.
Proposed legislation to expand workers' compensation coverage for mental or emotional illness
Currently, Connecticut workers' compensation benefits are generally only available to cover mental or emotional illness or treatment if the illness was caused by a work-related injury or disease, reports the Office of Legislative Research of the Connecticut General Assembly. The proposed legislation would expand coverage to workers who suffer mental impairment after experiencing a traumatic event, even if they are not physically injured.
Specifically, the legislation would make workers' compensation benefits available if the workers' jobs "led them to witness the death or maiming, or the immediate aftermath of the death or maiming, of at least one person," according to the Associated Press. It also would provide coverage for a mental or emotional impairment caused by a traumatic event if a board-certified and licensed mental health professional diagnosed the worker with the illness. In addition, the legislation would provide benefits for mental or emotional impairment resulting from using or being subjected to deadly force.
First responders and other supporters of the legislation say it is necessary to fill an existing gap in coverage. The General Assembly approved a private charitable fund to pay for mental health treatment for workers affected by the Sandy Hook school shooting, but some declare a permanent solution is needed, including AFSCME Council 15, a union that represents police officers who responded to the Newtown tragedy.
In fact, in mid-April, the charitable fund contained only $21,000 according to the AP, and the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities stated the cost of one claim for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, for example, could be at least several hundred thousand dollars. However, the Conference of Municipalities' position is health insurance, employee assistance programs and disability leave should be used instead of workers' compensation to cover mental and emotional impairments experienced by first responders.
Making a claim for workers' compensation can become complicated, especially following a traumatic event. If you were hurt at work or have developed a work-related disease, contact a knowledgeable workers' compensation attorney for more information.

When I injured my back at work my employer denied that my injury occurred at work. Because of this they would not pay me disability benefits and pay for my doctors' bills. Since my back injury was so serious that it required surgery I could not work. My not having a pay check placed my family in a bad situation.
Although many of the issues in my case were complex, Attorney Sousa constantly met with me to explain what was going on with my case. He answered all my questions. Without the legal assistance I received from Sousa & Minogue, LLC , I do not know where my family would be today.

Rose Theater
Jazz of the '50s: Overflowing with Style
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis explores the innovative musical concepts that emerged during the 1950s – a whirlwind decade of unprecedented growth and staggering creativity. Jazz's limitless potential was on full display during these years, as exemplified by the cool jazz of Gerry Mulligan, modal jazz of Miles Davis, hard bop of Art Blakey, third stream of Gunther Schuller, the classic elegance of the Modern Jazz Quartet, and the free jazz of Ornette Coleman. Performing new and classic arrangements, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will revel in the era that brought jazz beyond the clubs and into the regular programming of esteemed concert halls. Tonight's music director and arranger for these tunes will be trombonist Chris Crenshaw, a young genius with perfect pitch and perfect time, known also as a composer, arranger, singer, and conductor. Crenshaw's previous composition for the JLCO was "God's Trombones" a moving piece that received wide public acclaim. Tonight he will premiere a new composition, entitled The Fifties: A Prism, that showcases the Orchestra's wide range of talent and stylistic versatility – the most comprehensive of any band in history – and immerse listeners in the incredible depth and diversity of these transformative years.

10 September 2018
Responding to the speech by TUC General Secretary, France's O'Grady to the 150th anniversary gathering of Congress in Manchester, TSSA General Secretary, Manuel Cortes said:
"In the face of the huge threat to our jobs, our public services and our economy from the Tory government and the proxy war they are waging with Europe in the guise of Brexit, Frances's speech today shows Congress is as relevant and necessary today to defend workers interests as it was when it was founded in Manchester 150 years ago.
"In 1868, presiding over Victorian squalor was a boss class who exploited workers, didn't give a fig for their rights, their livelihoods nor whether workers could feed their families. Only by coming together and fighting through unions for their own emancipation did workers win better working conditions, our trades union rights and the right to vote.
"We need a big show of workers solidarity now in the face of the Brexit crash and burn strategy of this this lunatic Tory government. I'm delighted to hear Frances so robustly serve notice of a workers revolt on the Tories if they don't return with a workers-first deal with the EU. I welcome Frances commitment to returning sign-off on the deal to a popular vote although our overriding priority remains getting Jeremy Corbyn into No10 as soon as possible.
"We all know Theresa May is so beyond weak and wobbly, she's now a dead woman walking. Checkered by her own Chequers deal she can deliver nothing. So Frances is absolutely right to tell the Prime Minister to stand down, let the country go to to a General Election and let's elect a Labour government who will keep jobs, services, freedom of movement and the retention of single market and customs union membership back on the negotiating table and liberate Britain from this dreadful Tory Brexit mess.
Note to desks:
TSSA was a Remain union that has campaigned relentlessly for Britain to leave all options on the negotiating table with the EU including staying put in the EU, if a deal cannot be reached to maintain our jobs, services and workers rights including freedom movement.

My husband said that these are the best meatballs he's had. This recipe is taken from Guy Fieri's cookbook "Food". It makes 24 meatballs, to serve 8. I used ground pork instead of the sausage. I also used 1 tablespoon each of dried basil and dried oregano.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup finely diced red onion
1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons red chili flakes
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup milk
1 cup 1/2-inch diced sourdough bread cubes (from about 2 slices, crusts removed)
1 pound ground beef(80% lean)
1 pound ground bulk pork sausage, unseasoned
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil (about 6 leaves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 to 6 cups Marinara sauce (recipe on blog – " Fieri's Marinara Sauce")
2 pounds spaghetti
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, for garnish
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the extra virgin oil. Cook the onion, bell pepper, and chili flakes for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and salt and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and let cool. (Keep the pan handy).
2. Meanwhile, pour the milk over the bread and let soak for 5 minutes. Drain off the milk and lightly squeeze the bread, so that it is moist but not wet.
3. To the bowl with the cooled vegetables, add the beef and sausage, soaked bread, basil, oregano, pepper, parsley, grated Parmesan, and eggs. Mix thoroughly but gently and shape into 2-inch balls, the more gentle you are, the more tender the meatballs will be.
4. In the same pan used for the vegetables, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, browning each completely. Continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165F on an instant-read thermometer.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer over low heat.
6. Cook the spaghetti al dente, according to the package directions. Drain and toss with about 2 cups of the marinara sauce. You can either portion to individual plates or pasta bowls, add more sauce and 3 meatballs per person, and garnish with shredded Parmesan, or place the pasta in a large serving dish and top with sauce, meatballs and Parmesan.

In mid-October, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award whittled its 47-player preseason watch list down to 20. A month later, it's been whittled even further.
Wednesday, the Unitas announced its 10 finalists for the 2017 version of the trophy. The award has been given annually since 1987 to the top quarterback in the country who is either a senior or fourth-year junior and takes into account his accomplishments both on and off the field.
Included in this reduced group is Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield, who was a finalist for the 2016 award. Mayfield's counterpart in an early-season game this year, Ohio State's J.T. Barrett, is another of the finalists.
Three of the finalists come from the Big 12, the most of any conference. The AAC and Big Ten are next with two each, while the ACC, MAC and SEC have one apiece.
Below are the 10 finalists for the Unitas Award, which was won last year by Clemson's Deshaun Watson.

Bernalillo County awarded a monetary grant to the Classic Uptown Neighborhood Association to fund a crime prevention program in our neighborhood called CUNA WATCH. This program was conceived by the board of directors of your neighborhood association, and is designed to help inform and protect our residents, as well as involve as many of you as possible in preventing, detecting, and reporting criminal activity in our neighborhood.
In September of 2016, several residents took training provided by the Albuquerque Police Department in creating a neighborhood crime patrol. Thus, some of your neighbors now cruise our neighborhood streets, on the alert for suspicious activity. Neighborhood patrols are recognizable by the distinctive magnetic CUNA WATCH signs affixed to the "patrol" cars. Patrols are trained to recognize, record, and report suspicious persons and activities to APD. We hope that the regular appearance and presence of these patrols helps deter criminals from victimizing our residents.
All Classic Uptown residents received a card in the mail providing telephone numbers to call for all sorts of emergencies, as well as reporting crimes and suspicious activity. CUNA also provided a CUNA WATCH window sticker to alert neighbors, and also inform potential criminals that you and other residents are looking out for each other.
We cannot overstress the fact that crime prevention requires concerted vigilance, communication, and cooperation among neighbors. However, residents must also look out for their personal safety. NEVER intercede in what you think is a crime in process. Instead, call the police and report what you see in as much detail as possible. Do NOT accost a potential criminal. That is the job of a trained police officer.
Your neighborhood association invites you to participate in CUNA WATCH by getting to know your neighbors, being aware of strange cars or suspicious people in the neighborhood, and letting other folks know you're looking out for your neighbors' best interests. You can also volunteer to take training and participate in neighborhood patrols if you have the inclination, time, and ability to do so. Sadly, the crime rate in Albuquerque is rising, and we just don't have enough police officers at this time to patrol our streets with the regularity and frequency we would like. But concerned neighbors can make a difference by looking out for one another and sending a strong message to criminals that: we are not easy marks, we know they are up to no good, and we are not hesitant to call police and report what we think may be a potential or actual crime.
APD sponsored a neighborhood training session for CUNA Watch members on 9/17/2016
Officer Pete Gelabert from APD NW Area Command was our instructor, and provided great instruction on crime, legal considerations, observation techniques, and safety.
Look for this magnetic sign on CUNA WATCH patrol cars in our neighborhood.

The Touareg brings a breath of fresh air to the streets. And to the unexplored paths in between. Innovations such as the electromechanical roll stabilisation, matrix LED headlights or the Innovision Cockpit add optional enhancements to the varied experience of driving this SUV.
The universal control centre with no switches
For responsive steering and stable cornering
For a dynamic look, with no dazzling
The digital instrument cluster and the screen of the infotainment system form one curved glass surface: the optional Innovision Cockpit.
With the optional all-wheel steering, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels at speeds of up to 37 km/h. This reduces the turning circle by more than a metre. At higher speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels. The Touareg is more agile to drive and is more stable when changing lanes.

Not enough Rin.
>Pretty much any writing about Saber's past had its head up its ass
>Literally every servant except Assassin (who was cannon fodder) had an obsession with Saber
>Not enough Lancer
>Assumes you're familiar with Stay Night/ exists mostly to set up Stay Night rather than be its own story
>Kiritsugu's philosophy was hopeless and he should have known that
>Poorly pacing talking scenes
>Many characters were little more than Stay Night cameos
> Gil OP pls nerf
> The Inside the Holy Grail shenanigans
>Ryousuunke (spelling that wrong? don't care) was 1 dimensional and felt like he was just there because they series dictates there has to be 7 masters
All in all, 8.5
Jogging Kirei
Wasted an episode on that little bitch Rin.
Too much Rin.
>Ryousuunke (spelling that wrong? don't care) was 1 dimensional and felt like he was just there because they series dictates there has to be 7 masters
Oh come on he added some great energy to a cast that were really drab and serious.
>hating Ryuunosuke
I had fun once and it was awful
Generic OST.
Bland tryhard characters
Shitty historical inaccuracies.
It's fanbase.
Failed attempt at comedy relief between Waverfag and Riderfag
But that's one of the strong point
You do realize waverfag would mean an anon that likes Waver, right? Just say Waver and Rider for what you are trying to convey.
Haters gonna hate
I liked him murdering kids (bonus when Caster made one think he was safe at home only to NOPE that shit), I'm saying the guy had nothing to him other than "heehee! I like guts and violence!" and was very disconnected to the rest of the characters. Even Caster's Cthulhu monster was a pretty pointless detour.
The fights were all boring.
Oh, sure, they were damn well animated, but horribly done.
It felt like an 80s fight scene but with fancy paint. You know, the whole screaming people's name, the whole blocking with nothing happening? That's this anime entire fight scenes but with flashy light and animation.
Every fight ends up won with that special attack so it just doesn't matter.
Saber beating Berserker was just her blocking his attacked and then killing him off scene.
Saber beating Caster was boring.
Assassin dying to Gil , showing off how awesome he was, and his minions were pointless.
Rin was entirely pointless and should have really just been removed but fanservice, obviously.
So yeah, it's just shit that looks pretty and sounds pretty.
Long talks with fake fight scenes is all this anime is.
An anon that likes waver or rider would have nothing to do with the comedy relief in a show. Just accept you got buttmad instead of being the semantics police faggot.
Comparison-wise, how do you feel UBW's been choreographed with its action?
It's not as good as the sequel.
>The main character isn't a young teenage bishounen that weak nerds like me can self-insert into. Instead he's a grown man with a wife that wants justice but not in a typical shounen kind of way.
>not enough slice of life moments
>main character doesn't really have much of a harem
>Rider has a personality in Zero. I only want tits. Tits that every generic anime has.
>Gilgamesh was threatening and more interesting in Zero. He's less one-dimensional than his FSN counterpart.
>Not enough tsunderes and cooking and pandering to otaku shit
>actually shows the characters planning shit
>the main character isn't a complete idiot and actually uses his brain sometimes
>Bad guys win
>I want the protag to be a whiny harem fake underdog, not a grown man with a wife
FZ is shit.
>main character literally cries and is seen playing with his daughter happily at the beginning
Has to live in the shadow of F/SN. By comparison, Fate/Zero has less content but also manages to be less thematically tight. It's a dozen sideplots which add up to nothing much. It's not bad, but it didn't accomplish anything of note to add to F/SN, nor is it different enough to really justify itself.
>takes itself way too fucking seriously
>lancer dies like a bitch
and most of all
I mean fate/stay night does this to a lesser extent, but god it happened too many times that characters just meet, and the part, and then be on their merry way. Remember the fucking scene where saber Iskandar and Gilgamesh just fucking have a picnic at night? And when its done they just say: 'Goodbye, well kill eachother later'
The sequel.
>hating best duo
>Kiritsugu's philosophy was hopeless and he should have known that
It's like you missed the point of the story. He knew it was pointless. That's why he sought the grail.
>Poorly pacing talking scenes
Any anime with extended dialogue is dumped on with this criticism. It's meaningless. Just say outright that you don't like talking scenes instead of bullshitting up this poorly paced nonsense.
>Ryousuunke (spelling that wrong? don't care) was 1 dimensional and felt like he was just there because they series dictates there has to be 7 masters
Yes, that is why he was there. Tokiomi said as much. Not every character needs a backstory with fleshed out family history and life purpose.
>>Poorly pacing talking scenes
>Any anime with extended dialogue is dumped on with this criticism.
No, only animes with lots of dialogue that have fucking BAD PACING are dumped with that criticism.
Do you often see people complaining about UBW's pacing despite it having a shitton of dialogue? No, becuase it was way better paced. They used one hour long episodes and threw some action in between heavy exposition scenes, among other things, to make said pacing smoother. F/Z, on the other hand, had one of the most awfully paced first episode seen in recent years, it's first season was almost pure talking and the distribution of the action scenes between the episodes was poorly planned.
The loli Rin service eiposde
Also I coudlnt give less of a shit about Kiritsugus past, half an episode should have done the job not more than 1.
Can someone explain me one thing?
So, in the end Kiritsugu won the race but rejected the grail however Kotomine survived because magic and gilgamesh or whatevershit.
Still, Since Kiri raised Shirou and Koto raised Rin , they should have been living in the same city for like 5 years ,or whatever untill Kiri died young for no reason at all .
Aside from Kiri's death (which I'd like to know why too), why didn't they fight each other If they lived so close? There's no way Kiri wouldn't want to kill such an evil man, and Kotomine was known by everyone to be the local catholic priest so he's identity is not secret.

|First Appearance:
|"Crazy Ten Minute Sale" (Wizards of Waverly Place)
"Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana"
Maximillian "Max" Justin Russo is a fictional character on the Disney Channel sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place, portrayed by Jake T. Austin. The youngest of the three Russo siblings, he is the naïve younger brother, who at the beginning of the series is an underachiever (when it comes to wizard school), being far behind his siblings in his magic lessons (as seen in "Potion Commotion"). Even though his full name, Maximillian, is stated by his grandma, he mentions his name is Maximum in Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie. In a cut scene from "Helping Hand" it is revealed that Max's middle name is Justin, but they didn't tell him to keep him from getting confused.
Max, like his brother and sister, is half-Mexican (on his Mother's side), half-Italian (on his Father's side), and both their Spanish side and their Italian side come into play on many occasions. Max is a generally cute, witty, cheeky boy with a very imaginative and out-going personality. Like Alex, Max is often depicted as a slacker and is been known to use magic mischievously. He is very naive and has a short-attention span. His mother, Theresa sometimes treats him like the baby of the family (examples: the episodes "Movies" and "Alex Does Good"). He sometimes assists his sister Alex in pulling pranks on their brother, Justin. Now at 14 born in 1995, he is the youngest of the family, which puts him at a disadvantage when being compared to his siblings, who have a head-start on him in their wizard training. To make matters worse, Max generally acts very carelessly, mainly because of his lack of real intelligence, though seems to be able to seem smart in his own unusual way that seems to work for him. A bit of Alex being seen in him because though Alex is a slacker with poor grades and known for her reckless use of magic, she secretly possesses strong intelligence that she prefers to keep hidden so as to be different from her brother Justin, a brainiac. Max also has a skill of getting out the truth of others through randomness, a skill rarely used unless being asked for advice or being needed for a specific situation. This shows that all three children hold a different type of intelligence that made them unique, with Max his knack for getting out the truth, Alex with her natural skill at magic that can best her siblings, and Justin his wide range of knowledge over many things that may seem like things no one else cares about as Alex makes it out to be, yet hold significance in varying levels, with how he argues with his sister. In general, Max is unsuccessful at magic most of the time. Because of this, in preparing for the contest to keep their powers as a wizard, Justin and Alex focus on each other while discounting Max, believing that he couldn't possibly win. However, it is sometimes seen that Max may pull an upset, and be the one to keep his powers. He is shown to have a "C" in Wizard Class which makes his average much better compared to Alex who has an "F" for her poor effort and focus in wizard class, and she never tries). In the season one episode "Potion Commotion", when he gets his full powers, Max is able to cause snow to fall in the restaurant and to transport the loft the Russos live in to China and Hawaii. He later gains more control of his powers so they don't go haywire. Overall, Max has frequently shown to be oblivious to what should be obvious, such as Alex's magically shrunken room in "Hugh's Not Normous". Max is a fun wizard and sometimes uses magic irresponsibly but on the whole he prefers to cause havoc without magic. He is quite mischievous and quick to use magic in a situation, like his sister, and it often leads to disaster. However, in the end he makes things right with his abilities and help from his siblings. Max is dependent on magical aids such as his wand and brother and sister. In Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, he is shown to be able use his powers very independently, as he is constantly seen casting magic without a wand or spells. He uses an "E Wand" and has been known to break his wands by accident when put in his pocket. Another disadvantage to being the youngest is he is constantly babied by his mother. In "Movies" she began babying him because she realized both Justin and Alex were growing up very fast. She doesn't like him dating. In the movie, Max says his mom pinches his cheeks. Max's self-confidence and impulsive behavior also makes himself entirely devoid of fear (as noticed in "Wizards and Vampires vs. Zombies", where he wasn't afraid to stand up to the real zombies at the Zombie Prom). He is always willing to try new things and make new goals. He sometimes has little regard towards safety. Max usually likes to be his own person and often keeps his mind open for finding new things to do; some of which are considered career choices (considering the idea that he might not become a full wizard as an adult), though Max usually takes action without thinking about the details (he once decided to become a pilot by only going to flight school for two days). Max also has a few strange habits, such as putting marshmellows with asparagus or using his mom's dress as a Darth Vader cape. Max is very easily amused and often thinks differently from others ('he thinks microwave popcorn is magic'). In fact, this unusual way of thinking allowed him to outsmart (or as Alex said "out-dumb") a genie into undoing her twisted wishes, and managed to get Juliet Van Heusen to say how she feels about Justin by saying something "random" in conversation. He has also been known to "twist" certain scenarios for his own advantage. Though Max is usually comfortable with himself most of the time, it has been shown that he somewhat craves attention and support from his family. In "Helping Hand", when Justin creates his original 'helping hand' spell, in which Jerrytakes notice, Max tries several attempts to make his own magical project in order to gain the same attention from his father. This also may show that Max secretly wishes he can live up to expectations of his older brother. In the episode "Retest", it is said that Max is a lot like Uncle Kelbo. In the season two episode "Future Harper", it is said that sometime in the future all the mortal humans know about wizards and it was most likely because Max revealed the secret. Even though Future Harper did not say that person's name, Max guiltily points out himself that he may have likely been the one to have spilled the secret. In the trio episode in season 3, Max accidentally separates his conscience from himself, whom he names 'Roy'. Just as always, Max ignores everything Roy tells him and continues to sabotage Justin from becoming the family wizard, which ends in chaos. Tension is created between Max and his conscience when Max starts to do his schoolwork and chores, and Theresa neglects him by giving all the credit to Conscience. Later, Alex starts to notice Max's improvement and sabotages him by getting Conscience to go somewhere with Harper, which causes not only Max to do everything wrong, but puts Conscience in the process of becoming his own person. Alex then gets Conscience to come back and then uses a spell to put him back into Max. It is also later stated that, when Max cast a spell to set multiple monsters loose in New York City, one of which is a mummy that kidnaps Juliet, and all of the monster hunters (sans Justin) are killed in action by the other ones; thus, Max is indirectly responsible for both. Max doesn't really care about the wizard duel, because he initially believes that he could be on the winning side, as visible in "A Wizard for a Day", Max constantly changes between Justin's and Alex's sides (much to their annoyance), and Max continues with this obnoxious behavior until "Franken-Girl", where they inform to him that he is alone. In the "Chronicles of Moises: The Voice of Reason" saga, despite constantly arguing with his conscience, Max become a serious and applied competitor of the family powers (much of Alex's chagrin).

Human rights experts claim plan to execute Ashraf Fayadh who was sentenced to death last year would be unlawful
Saudi Arabia must not put Palestinian poet Ashraf Fayadh to death for apostasy this month as it would be "an arbitrary and thus unlawful execution" based on unreliable evidence, UN human rights experts said on Thursday.
Fayadh was detained by the country's religious police in 2013 then rearrested in 2014 and sentenced to four years in prison and 800 lashes. That was changed to a death sentence on appeal last month.
Saudi Arabia's justice system is based on Sharia Islamic law. Its judges are clerics from the kingdom's ultra conservative Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam. In the Wahhabi interpretation of Sharia, religious crimes including blasphemy and apostasy, abandoning the Muslim faith, incur the death penalty.
"The promotion of such a violent response against a legitimate form of opinion and expression has a widespread chilling effect across all of Saudi society," said David Kaye, UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression.
The UN statement from Kaye, Christof Heyns - the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions - and four other independent UN investigators said the death sentence was based on a collection of poems and testimony from a single witness, who claims he heard Fayadh make blasphemous comments at a café.
The original court ruling threw out the case because it said the witness was motivated by animosity for Fayadh.
It appeared that he "is about to be executed on the basis of seemingly unreliable evidence to the effect that he exercised his freedom of expression after an unfair trial," Heyns said in the statement.
The UN human rights experts also expressed concern at reports that Fayadh did not have legal counsel during the judicial proceedings, in violation of international law.
Saudi judges have extensive scope to impose sentences according to their own interpretation of Sharia law without reference to any previous cases. After a case has been heard by lower courts, appeals courts and the supreme court, a convicted defendant can be pardoned by King Salman.
In January, liberal writer Raif Badawi was flogged 50 times after his sentencing to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for blasphemy last year, prompting an international outcry. Badawi remains in prison, but diplomats say he is unlikely to be flogged again.

Brick 'sovereign citizen' who calls himself 'Without Prejudice' arrested over alleged false lien
BRICK - Police have charged a man who calls himself "Without Prejudice" with falsifying government records, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office announced Friday.
Detectives James Conroy and Stephen T. Shadiack Jr. arrested 47-year-old Karl P. Scheufler Friday morning, said Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Prosecutor's Office. Detectives believe Scheufler filed the allegedly false lien from his home.
Scheufler "holds himself as a sovereign citizen known as 'Iesus: the Christ, an irrevocable trust' and declares his current name to be 'Without Prejudice,'" Della Fave wrote in a prepared statement.
BRICK: Famous Dave's is closing down
BRICK: Memorial HS student in custody for 'terroristic threat'
Scheufler was released pending a court date, Della Fave said.
According to the state Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, sovereign citizens do not recognize local, state or federal governments as legitimate. The video at the top of this article explains a little more.
"They also assert they are not subject to questioning or arrest by law enforcement, paying taxes and fines, complying with summonses, or possessing official licenses," according to a 2017 brief from OHSP. "Sovereign citizen extremists have engaged in counterfeiting, verbal and written harassment, unlawful property occupation scams, and financial fraud."
Sovereigns pose a moderate threat to New Jersey, according to OHSP.

mentioned. But where its length is the greatest, I have heard that it is a two months' journey from east to west; and that eastward its confines produce frankincense. On that side of Egypt which borders upon Libya extends another rocky mountain, and covered with sand, on which the pyramidsstand; and this stretches in the same direction as that part of the Arabian mountain that runs southward. So that from Heliopolis, the territory which belongs to Egypt is not very extensive; but for four days' sail up the river it is very narrow. Between the mountains before mentioned the land is level, and in the narrowest part appeared to me to be not more than two hundred stades in breadth, from the Arabian mountain to that called the Libyan; but above this Egypt again becomes wide. Such then is the character of this country. 9. From Heliopolis to Thebes is a voyage up of nine days; the length of this journey is in stades four thousand eight hundred and sixty, which amount to eighty-one schoeni. Now, if we compute these stades together, the coast of Egypt, as I before explained, contains in length three thousand and six hundred stades: how far it is from the sea inland as far as Thebes, I will next show, namely, six thousand one hundred and twenty stades; and from Thebes to the city called Elephantine, one thousand eight hundred stades. 10. The greater part of all this country, as the priests informed me, and as appeared to me also to be the case, has been acquired by the Egyptians. For the space between the abovementioned mountains, that are situate beyond the city of Memphis, seem to me to have been formerly a bay of the sea; as is the case also with the parts about Ilium, Teuthrania, Ephesus, and the plain of the Maeander, if I may be permitted to compare small things with great; for of the rivers that have thrown up the soil that forms these countries, not one can justly be brought into comparison, as to size, with any one of the five mouths of the Nile. But there are other rivers not equal in size to the Nile, which have wrought great works; of these I could mention the names, and amongst them one of the most remarkable is the Achelous, which, flowing through Acarnania, and falling into the sea, has already converted one-half of the Echinades islands into continent. 11. There is also in the Arabian territory, not far from Egypt, branching from the Red Sea, a bay of the sea, of the H
length and width I shall here describe: the length of the voyage, beginning from the innermost part of this bay to the broad sea, occupies forty days for a vessel with oars; and the width, where the bay is widest, half a day's passage: and in it an ebb and flow takes place daily; and I am of opinion that Egypt was formerly a similar bay; this stretching from the Northern Sea towards Ethiopia; and the Arabian Bay, which I am describing, from the south towards Syria; and that they almost perforated their recesses so as to meet each other, overlapping * to some small extent. Now, if the Nile were to turn its stream into this Arabian gulf, what could hinder it from being filled with soil by the river within twenty thousand years? for my part, I think it would be filled within ten thousand. How then, in the time that has elapsed before I was born, might not even a much greater bay than this have been filled up by such a great and powerful river? 12. I therefore both give credit to those who relate these things concerning Egypt, and am myself persuaded of their truth, when I see that Egypt projects beyond the adjoining land; that shells are found on the mountains ; that a saline humour forms on the surface so as even to corrode the pyramids; and that this mountain which is above Memphis is the only one in Egypt that abounds in sand: add to which, that Egypt, in its soil, is neither like Arabia or its confines, nor Libya, nor Syria, (Syrians occupy the sea-coast of Arabia,) but is black and crumbling, as if it were mud and alluvial deposit, brought down by the river from Ethiopia; whereas we know that the earth of Libya is reddish, and somewhat more sandy; and that of Arabia and Syria is more clayey and flinty.
13. The priests told me this also, as a great proof of what they related concerning this country, that in the reign of Moeris, when the river rose at least eight cubits, it irrigated all Egypt below Memphis; and yet Moeris had not been nine hundred years dead when I received this information. But now, unless the river rises sixteen cubits, or fifteen at least, it does not overflow the country. It appears to me, therefore, that if the soil continues to grow in height, in the same proportion, and to contribute in like manner towards its increase, those Egyptians below Lake Moeris, who inhabit other districts and that which is called Delta, must, by reason of the Nile not overflowing their land, for ever suffer the same calamity which they used to say the Greeks would suffer from. For having heard that all the lands of Greece were watered by rain, and not by rivers, as their own was, they said "that the Grecians at some time or other would be disappointed in their great expectations, and suffer miserably from famine;" meaning, "that if the deity should not vouchsafe rain to them, but visit them with a long drought, the Greeks must perish by famine, since they had no other resource for water, except from Jupiter only." 14. And the Egyptians are right in saying this to the Greeks; but now let me state how the matter stands with the Egyptians themselves: if, as I said before, the land below Memphis (for this it is that increases) should continue to increase in height in the same proportion as it has in time past, what else will happen but that the Egyptians who inhabit this part will starve, if their land shall neither be watered by rain, nor the river be able to inundate the fields 2 Now indeed they gather in the fruits of the earth with less labour than any other people, and than the rest of the Egyptians, for they have not the toil of breaking up the furrows with the plough, nor of hoeing, nor of any other work which all other men must labour at to obtain a crop of corn; but when the river has come of its own accord and irrigated their fields, and having irrigated them has subsided, then each man sows his own land and turns swine into it; and when the seed has been trodden in by the swine, he afterwards waits for harvest-time: then having trod out the corn with his swine, he gathers it in. 15. But if we should adopt the opinion of the Ionians respecting Egypt, who say that the Delta alone is properly Egypt, stating that its sea-coast extends from what is called the tower of Perseus to the Tarichaea of Pelusium, forty schoeni in length ; and who say that from the sea inland it stretches to the city of Cercasorus, where the Nile divides, and flows towards Pelusium and Canopus; and who attribute the rest of Egypt, partly to Libya, and partly to Arabia, if we adopted this account, we should show that the Egyptians had not formerly any country of their own; for the Delta, as the Egyptians themselves acknowledge, and as I think, is alluvial, and (if I may so express myself) has lately come to light. If then they formerly had no country, how foolish they were to think themselves the most ancient of all people ! nor was there any use in their having recourse to the experiment of the children, to ascertain what language they would first speak. For my own part, I am not of opinion that the Egyptians commenced their existence with the country which the Ionians call Delta; but that they always were, since men have been ; and that as the soil gradually increased, many of them remained in their former habitations, and many came lower down. For, anciently, Thebes was called Egypt, and is six thousand one hundred and twenty stades in circumference. 16. If, therefore, Ijudge correctly of these things, the Ionians are mistaken with respect to Egypt; but if their opinion is correct, then I will show that neither the Greeks nor the Ionians themselves know how to reckon, when they say, that the whole earth consists of three divisions, Europe, Asia, and Libya; for they ought to add a fourth, the Delta of Egypt, if it be not a part either of Asia or of Libya. For, by this account, the Nile does not separate Asia from Libya, but is divided at the point of Delta, so that it must be between Asia and Libya. But I will dismiss the opinion of the Ionians, and proceed to give my own account of the matter. 17. I consider that the whole country inhabited by Egyptians is Egypt, as that inhabited by Cilicians is Cilicia, and that by Assyrians, Assyria. And, strictly speaking, I know of no other boundary to Asia and Libya, except the frontier of Egypt. But if we follow the opinion received by the Greeks, we shall suppose that all Egypt, beginning from the cataracts and the city of Elephantine, is divided into two parts, and partakes of both names; and that one part belongs to Libya, and the other to Asia. For the Nile, beginning from the cataracts, flows to the sea, dividing Egypt in the middle. Now, as far as the city of Cercasorus, the Nile flows in one stream ; but from that point it is divided into three channels: and that which runs eastward is called the Pelusiac mouth ; another of the channels bends westward, and is called the Canopic mouth; but the direct channel of the Nile is the following: descending from above, it comes to the point of the Delta, and after this it divides the Delta in the middle, and discharges itself into the sea, supplying by this channel, not by any means the least quantity of water, nor that the least re
* I have adopted the meaning given to trapa)\éorgouras by Liddell and Scott, instead of the usual interpretation, that "the two bays were but little distant from each other."
nowned; this is called the Sebennytic mouth. There are also two other mouths, that diverge from the Sebennytic and flow into the sea; to these the following names are given, to one the Saitic, to the other the Mendesian mouth. The Bolbitine and Bucolic mouths are not natural, but artificial. 18. My opinion that Egypt is of the extent I have above declared it to be, is confirmed by an oracle delivered at Ammon. which I heard after I had formed my own opinion respecting Egypt. For the people who inhabit the cities of Marea and Apis, in the part of Egypt bordering on Libya, deeming themselves Libyans and not Egyptians, and being discontented with the institutions regarding victims, were desirous not to be restricted from the use of cow's flesh, and therefore sent to Ammon, saying, "that they had no relation to the Egyptians, because they lived out of Delta, and did not speak the same language with them ; and desired to be allowed to eat all manner of food." The god, however, did not permit them to do so, saying, "that all the country which the Nile irrigated was Egypt, and that all those were Egyptians who dwell below the city Elephantine, and drink of that river. Such was the answer given them. 19. But the Nile, when full, inundates not only Delta, but also part of the country said to belong to Libya and Arabia, to the extent of about two days' journey on either side, more or less. Respecting the nature of this river, I was unable to gain any information, either from the priests or any one else. I was very desirous, however, of learning from them why the Nile, beginning at the summer solstice, fills and overflows for a hundred days; and when it has nearly completed this number of days, falls short in its stream, and retires; so that it continues low all the winter, until the return of the summer solstice. Of these particulars I could get no information from the Egyptians, though I inquired whether this river have any peculiar quality that makes it differ in nature from other rivers. Being anxious, then, of knowing what was said about this matter, I made inquiries, and also how it comes to pass, that this is the only one of all rivers that does not send forth breezes from its surface. 20. Nevertheless, some of the Greeks, wishing to be distinguished for their wisdom, have attempted to account for these inundations in three different ways: two of these ways are scarcely worth mentioning, ex

Dodge Chaz("Chaz Dalton's Space Academy") Hickey is the son of Joy Turner and Earl Hickey. He was born June 10, 2000. It was unknown to everyone, including mother Joy Hickey and stepfather Darnell Turner originally Harry Monroe that Earl was in fact Dodge's biological father.
The earliest memory Joy Turner and Earl Hickey have together was when Joy married Earl while he was drunk in hopes for her unborn baby to have a father that would help raise him/her. It was unknown to Joy who the identity of her baby's biological father was. In the final episode of the series, ("Dodge's Dad") it is revealed by Joy that the night Dodge was conceived, it was Halloween at The Crab Shack and his father was wearing a skeleton costume but was unrecognizable because he had a mask to go along with the costume. While in utter shock, Earl reveals he was the man in the skeleton costume that Halloween night at The Crab Shack, meaning he is Dodge's biological father.

Early lifeEdit
Before Season 1EditJoy Darville slept with a drunk Earl Hickey six months before meeting him again in 1999. She, however, didn't recognize him because he was wearing a mask at a Halloween party. In return, Earl was exceptionally drunk and did not recognize her when they later met ("Dodge's Dad").
Upon remeeting the two married; Earl unaware that Joy was pregnant. He raised Dodge as if he knew he was his own for six years before Joy, in 2005, divorced Earl and married Darnell Turner, with whom she had been having an affair for several years whilst still with Earl ("Pilot"). It is revealed in the final episode of the series ("Dodge's Dad") that after many years of believing Darnell was the father of Joy's son Earl Jr., Darnell was not the father of Earl Jr. The father of Earl Jr. remains a mystery, but due to commentary by one of the creators of the show, it was revealed that Earl Jr's father was somebody famous Joy had slept with while he was on a break from tour.
In 2005, just before Earl discovered karma, Earl attended one of Dodge's career days and pretended to be an important doctor. A police officer in the room got a call about some stolen hospital equipment and arrested Earl, leaving Dodge ashamed ("Dodge's Dad").
Season 1Edit
Joy demanded that Earl gave half of his $100,000 lotto winnings to her to help raise "his" kids and pay for her breast implants. As Dodge and Earl Jr. ran around the house, Earl reminded her that they were not his children, or so he believed when he said this ("Randy's Touchdown").
At some point, Dodge suffered from a fear of the dark after Joy told him she was "wrestling with werewolves", when in fact having sex with Darnell. When he went in one time to help her, he saw everything and was no longer afraid of the dark, but was unable to look Darnell in the eye ("Boogeyman").
When Joy entered the Prettiest Pretty Princess mother-daughter beauty pageant with her supposedly dead mother, Dodge and Earl Jr. went to watch the show with Darnell ("Broke Joy's Fancy Figurine").
Dodge attended Joy and Darnell's wedding ("Joy's Wedding").
He went to the Right Choice Ranch in 2005 with Earl Jr. Earl took the boys to Mystery Fun Land to make up for an item on the List, but found it was shut down. The boys forgave Earl and crossed the item off the List ("Barn Burner").
Dodge and Earl Jr. went away to Darnell's parent's house for Mother's Day ("Dad's Car").
Season 2Edit
When Darnell was allowed back into the house after Joy kicked him out, Earl. Jr and Dodge both were very happy. Darnell decided to tell them, as a bedtime story, what really happened to him as Harry Monroe ("Mailbox").
Earl and Randy rebuilt Dodge and Earl Jr.'s playhouse for the news after Earl destroyed the old playhouse when he was drunk ("Harassed a Reporter").
Season 3Edit
Dodge and Earl Jr. wouldn't stop complaining that they hated homework and baths, so Joy told them a story about two whiny brats who wouldn't do their homework and their hot mother flies the boys through the air to meet someone who didn't do their homework who ended up getting killed by a train. Then the hot mother takes the boys to visit a big slob who was so disgusting that moss grows on him, and things start sticking to him. First crumbs, then mice, then cars and buildings, Canada, etc., until he gets so heavy he falls off the Earth.
While Joy was giving birth Dodge and Earl Jr. had to be looked after by Catalina, she didn't know what to do with them as when she was a child she would get in trouble for not working if she played games. Dodge and Earl Jr. taught Catalina how to be a kid and played games although she wasn't a good sport ("Midnight Bun").
After Earl, Randy and Ralph knock over Joy and Darnell's trailer Dodge and Earl Jr. had to live in the Crab Shack until it was up right again. Dodge had to sleep under the pool table while Earl Jr. slept on top of it {{Ref|title=Loviijjjjjj
Season 4Edit
Joy tried to trick the "Make a Wish" foundation into believing that Dodge and Earl Jr. were dying by trying to force them to give the family free goods ("The Magic Hour").
Dodge was told to draw something beautiful for his art homework so he drew Catalina which did not please Joy so she tried to make herself look hotter than Catalina in front of Dodge to make him think she was more beautiful. Eventually Darnell told Joy that children weren't supposed to think their mother were hot, Joy told him that she was upset that she thought Dodge wouldn't need her anymore one day because he was married to another girl. Darnell told her no matter how many girls Dodge would run off with he would only have one mother that he will always need, Joy responded "you don't know that". Darnell had no choice but to hurt Dodge in order to make Joy happy so he pushed the fan over while it was on and Dodge ran to Joy crying, Joy hugged him and told him she would always be there for him.("We've Got Spirit").
Joy encouraged Dodge to enter a science fair so she could win a diamond necklace. He did enter, but with a space ship made by Lloyd, and the prize was $500 in baby bonds for Dodge ("Sold a Guy a Lemon Car").
Dodge done lots of chores for Joy hoping she would take him to Chaz Dalton's space academy ("Chaz Dalton's Space Academy").
Dodge had a crush on a girl at the trailer park called Tiffany which did not make Joy happy especially when she saw them holding hands ("Pinky").
Dodge wanted his "real father" (meaning Earl) to speak at his career day, rather than Darnell. Earl did so but was criticized because he did not look after Dodge on weekends like all the other fathers separated from their wives. Dodge questioned this as well, even asking Earl if he likes him as Earl gives half-hearted answer. Earl later decided to find out who Dodge's real father was and so took a DNA test. He discovered that in fact he was Dodge's real father, and the story about the costume party came out. Joy was very shocked that Earl was always Dodge's father as was the latter who couldn't believe it. ("Dodge's Dad").
- Earl and Joy decided to call the baby Dodge because all Joy could remember about his biological father was that he drove a Ford.
- It is possible Earl was driving one that night he and Joy conceived Dodge.
- Earlier in the series, Earl called Dodge and Earl Jr. illegitimate, but since Dodge is his son and he married Joy before he was born, this makes Dodge legitimate.
- Dodge's middle name "Chaz" was given to him by his father, Earl, because of how much Earl loved to go to the Chaz Dalton space academy.
- When it was thought Lil Chubby was Dodge's father, Darnell remarked it made sense on Dodge's mustache coming. After Earl was revealed to be the father, Joy made the same remark but realized it made more sense with Earl.

Kim Jaejoong is a 'multi-faceted handsome guy'. There's nothing he can't do. Singing, acting, and let's not forget his directing abilities from the JYJ Asia tour and 'Sohn Yeon Jae's gala show'. He showed his greed as he said, "I want to try everything except being a comedian."
The first thing he wants to do when he has free time on his hands is get a cooking license. "I think there's a (Dae)Janggeum inside of me. Whenever I taste something, I can identify the ingredients with the tip of my tongue. In other words, I can tell what went in a dish. I amaze even myself. It might be because I grew up eating tasty food made by my mom, who is a really great cook. I'm even able to closely copy the flavors of food that I've tasted just once. When I hang out with Yoochun or Junsu, I end up preparing all the meals and everyone says my food tastes good. Recently, I downloaded a recipe on spaghetti with pork and red pepper paste and made it, and it was amazing."
With these cooking skills, Kim Jaejoong said that when he gets a girlfriend in the future, he wants to make her a tasty pot of soybean paste stew. "My strong point in cooking is stews. If I cook a really tasty pot of soybean paste stew with all possible ingredients, I think she'll really like it. I can't wait for it either. Haha"
