According to Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX), companies are required to keep all documents that contain information about a company's policy or performance. Any document relevant to the auditing process that contains information about a company that can be represented with words or numbers is considered a document that must be retained for auditing purposes. To emphasize this point, section 802 of the act stresses that document retention rules applies to all of a company's e-mail, e-mail attachments, and documents retained on computers, servers, auxiliary drives, e-data, web-sites, as well as hard copies of all company records. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) also require that companies retain business records.
Under SOX, there are four key components that must be met to ensure that digitally stored documents meet document retention policies. Those components are:
- The documents, including emails must be 'tamper proof'
- Digitally stored documents must be password protected, read-only and cannot be deleted
- The digital documents that are stored must be encrypted and digitally signed
- The digitally stored documents must have the ability to be audited by a third party, and have search capability.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, an organization that is integral to setting the GAAP, also has certain suggestions regarding appropriate controls for digitally stored documents. Copies of emails and other digital copies used during the course of business should be retained both digitally and in hard copy. When documents are stored digitally, it is required that proper internal controls be exercised. Some required internal controls are that the IT personnel responsible for storing digital documents must be independent, and hard copy of security logs must be stored.
This question was answered by Chizoba Morah.

J. Mendel's new look for the red carpet
It isn't often that a major fashion label for the uber-wealthy (and really uber) attempts a major change-up -- you don't want to throw off the Upper East Side set -- but J. Mendel designer Gilles Mendel decided to rock his fashion boat a bit. His collection is full of luxe separates: fur vests, tulle skirts, crepe tees.
No gowns. Well, OK, no need to get the defibrillator. There were a few, but the fact that this label -- known for its drool-worthy red carpet confections -- chose to focus more on separates signals a major trend to come in closets from Oyster Bay to Beekman Place.
No worries -- you'll still look fab in the sliced cavallino tank and embroidered tulle skirt, along with a python / pony / calf clutch tucked under your arm. And, of course, those clear mesh booties.
Other standout looks include that killer python -- either on short shorts (worn with a gray goat vest) or a motorcycle jacket (with patent mini). If you're game for fur, besides that goat vest there's shadow fox and perforated mink. And bag addicts will love the art deco patterns -- and that black mother-of-pearl minaudière, which if you listen carefully … may be calling your name.

Vasectomy May Increase Risk Of Aggressive Prostate CancerJuly 11, 2014 10:59 am | News | Comments
Vasectomy was associated with a small increased risk of prostate cancer, and a stronger risk for advanced or lethal prostate cancer, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). The researchers found that the association remained even among men who received regular PSA screening, suggesting the increased risk of lethal cancer cannot be explained by diagnostic bias.

"... those patients who had an allograft, failed at a rate more than three times higher than those reconstructed with an autograft.

Therefore, we can make a strong statement about that type and not necessarily extrapolate to other types of allografts, most notably those with bone, i.e. BTB or Achilles."

Global pension systems and their reform : worldwide drivers, trends, and challenges
AbstractAcross the world, pension systems and their reforms are in a constant state of flux driven by shifting objectives, moving reform needs, and a changing enabling environment. The ongoing worldwide financial crisis and the adjustment to an uncertain'new normal'will make future pension systems different from past ones. The objectives of this policy review paper are threefold: (i) to briefly review recent and ongoing key changesthat are triggering reforms; (ii) to outline the main reform trends across pension pillars; and (iii) to identify a few areas on which the pension reform community will need to focus to make a difference. The latter includes: creating solutions after the marginalization or, perhaps, demise of Bismarckian systems in countries with high rates of informality; keeping the elderly in the labor market; and addressing the uncertainty of longevity increases in pension schemes.

How has the modern education mill worked out for ya?
Who or what company is going to invent the next medical brakthrough if there is no reward for doing it. O right , the do nothings will demand they do it and then the do nothings will get their fair share.
Liberals , socialist and Democrats are all one in the same now and are the liying scumbags of the earth.
I got some interesting feedback yesterday after I compared President Obama's speech at Florida Atlantic University to speeches and writing from Vladimir Lenin and Benito Mussolini.
I'm surprised people would want to look the other way and imagine that such comparisons are harsh when indeed the aim of those dictators was to take power from a small ruling class of rich people and redistribute wealth to the masses.
Of course that's the official theory on socialism and Marxism. But of course it never works out that way. Yet still today the hype is nonetheless the same. I've written about this before especially comparisons of...

Any hope of a push-up contest between California Gov. Jerry Brown and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was put on hold Sunday, as the two posed together all smiles for a photograph at a dinner at the White House.
Brown and Christie, in Washington for a meeting of governors, feuded last year.
In a speech to California Republicans at the Republican National Convention, Christie called the 74-year-old Brown an "old retread."
Brown fired back at New Jersey's rotund governor a few days later, challenging him to a three-mile race, a push-up contest and a chin-up contest.
On Sunday, Brown's wife, Anne Gust Brown, posted a photograph from her Twitter account with the message, "Jerry and Chris at the White House. Not doing push ups."
Brown missed the governors' closing session on Monday, including another visit to the White House and a talk by Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Christie was there to hear Oz's advice for the governors.
"The average American is intimate once a week," Oz said. "If you could go from once a week to twice a week, which is very achievable for this highly performing group of individuals, you actually increase your life expectancies three years, and it would be a lot more fun."

I promised Crapgame that I wouldn't gloat.
But a very well-known gunblogger and 1911 gunsmith has come out against the 1911 design:
Hilton Yam: My Personal Path Away From The 1911
SaysUncle picked up the story, and it's going to get a lot of attention.
Just a quick post, without a lot of opinion.
You may have heard the story about the Florida gun owner who was pulled over while driving through Maryland:
A troubling story on all counts, but disturbingly vague on specifics.
Well, you really need to read the background on how/why it happened:
So, to sum up: legally owning a gun in your home state is considered probable cause for arresting you in other states despite, not breaking any laws in those other states. Gun ownership = the new scarlet letter. Another step towards stigmatizing gun owners.
The other lesson to be drawn from this incident (and all of the NSA stories, and the IRS attacking anyone that disagrees with 0bama, etc.) is that the noose of government is getting tighter around all of our necks.
For years, I avoided buying an EZ-Pass (remote toll-deduction widget for your car) due to privacy concerns. Looks like technology has leapfrogged me. It is only a matter of time before speeding tickets are issued automatically.
Rather than simply be outraged at this story, I hope you are going to get more involved in the political process to try and reverse the disturbing mission creep of our government.
And, I hope that you start paying attention to the cameras you see attached to municipal vehicles and near roads. And to the roads where you don't see them. And to the gun laws of the states you drive through.
Update 2/15/14
Interesting new development in this story:
The Department of Homeland Security is set to activate a national license plate tracking system that will be shared with law enforcement
"Were the feds using Maryland to establish the protocols ? It sure seems that is a very strong possibility…… and, if so, the denial of the FOIA would make even more sense."
Dick Metcalf really REALLY doesn't ever want to work in the gun industry ever again.
Sebastian discusses it here: Dick Metcalf Triples Down
But there is so much deception and so much fail in Dickie-boy's fuddy-duddy whining that I am going to have to fisk it thoroughly. A lot of hidden issues reveal themselves.
And here is that other shoe that we were all waiting to hear drop:
Registration rejected due to lack of postmark
Well, I do not know the circumstances of this particular situation (i.e. how/when the registration was submitted), but the person who got that letter is up a creek without a paddle.
They are now a felon, with a choice of several bad options for dealing with their situation.
God help them if they get pulled over for a broken tail-light on the way to someplace to take action on one of the options available to them, because they are committing a crime by even attempting to perform them!
Some state legislator was trying to get an extension of the registration deadline, but I haven't heard anything concrete about that.
The rejection letter:
I hope you gun owners have a plan to retain your weapons despite this idiotic law.
Read the law carefully and the potential wiggle room should become obvious.
6 days! The first arrest under the draconian and pointless "assault rifle" and "high-capacity magazine" law took place on the morning of January 6:
"The handgun was loaded with 11 bullets, and had a magazine capable of handling 15 rounds, police said…The gun owner told Norwalk officers that he was unaware of the law or the deadline, according to the police report. He was issued an infraction for possession of a large-capacity magazine and having a mutilated license plate. The weapon was returned to the owner, under the condition that he keeps the magazine separated from the handgun, and he was released at the scene, police said."
Read the whole thing, especially the reason that the man was pulled over.
Now, if you are a handgun permit holder, and you carry a gun that can accept a high-capacity magazine, you have the option to do so provided that you only load 10 bullets in it. And perhaps you carry an extra magazine, as recommended by many self-defense experts.
But what happens if the arresting officer decides to take a bullet out of your spare magazine and load it into the magazine that was in your gun. You are a felon, that's what. There's probably no way to prove that is what happened, and you are left holding the bag. Or the mag.
My advice to Connecticut permit holders is to avoid carrying a gun with a high-capacity magazine in it, and eliminate the chance that this could happen to you. Carry extra magazines, and be sure to tell people why. And also, practice reloading drills. You might not become Jerry Miculek but you can certainly improve your time.
Think I am being paranoid? You might be right.
But if the police feel entitled to shoot 90-pound children who have been tased and restrained, what wouldn't they do?

gr9 and tenks for de help with de new theme bae
Franz Kafka, the story goes, encountered a little girl in the park where he went walking daily. She was crying. She had lost her doll and was desolate.
Kafka offered to help her look for the doll and arranged to meet her the next day at the same spot. Unable to find the doll he composed a letter from the doll and read it to her when they met.
"Please do not mourn me, I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will write you of my adventures." This was the beginning of many letters. When he and the little girl met he read her from these carefully composed letters the imagined adventures of the beloved doll. The little girl was comforted.
When the meetings came to an end Kafka presented her with a doll. She obviously looked different from the original doll. An attached letter explained: "my travels have changed me…"
Many years later, the now grown girl found a letter stuffed into an unnoticed crevice in the cherished replacement doll. In summary it said: "every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form."

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — A year after Whitney Houston's death, music executive Clive Davis remembered her in words — and video.
Search: Whitney's daughter smokes pot in public
Houston died last year just hours before the annual Clive Davis Gala was to start. On Saturday, Davis said his world continues "to be so shattered by her passing" and that Houston's death still feels "unreal."
Then Davis played what he called a rare performance of Houston belting "All The Man That I Need" on Saturday the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Houston's brother and sister-in-law, Gary and Pat Houston, attended the gala, where Davis thanked them "for being here tonight." He also called Houston the "greatest, greatest singer of our lifetime."
Photo gallery: Whitney Houston In Focus
Dutch electronic artist Afrojack kicked off the performances with a DJ set, but it was Gladys Knight who got the crowd up out of their seats with a closing number.
Her voice — still crisp and loud — felt at ease on "Neither One of Us" and "Midnight Train to Georgia."
"You've been waiting here for a while and we all have to go, and I'm catching a train," the 68-year-old singer said before going into her popular hit that had Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire dancing around his chair.
And Knight wasn't the only performer to leave an impression during Davis' nearly four-hour event.
Scottish singer Emeli Sande was well-received when hitting the right notes on "Heaven." Miguel, who is nominated for five awards at Sunday's Grammys, was energetic when he performed his R&B hit "Adorn." He danced in the middle of the tables in the audience, and at one point sang to Taylor Hawkins' wife Alison — as the Foo Fighters drummer watched on.
Usher, too, brought R&B flavor to the stage when he performed in honor of music executive Antonio "L.A." Reid, who received the president's merit award. Usher sang some of "Burn" and "Climax," which featured the acoustic guitar.
The event was full of A-listers there to enjoy the live music: Johnny Depp, Quincy Jones, Sting, Joni Mitchell, Diddy, Miley Cyrus, Frank Ocean, Dave Grohl, Magic Johnson and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick were in the crowd.
"I've read the papers and I know you've been spending time with," Davis said when announcing that Katy Perry and John Mayer were in the audience.
Usher also drew laughs when he told an old story about Reid signing the then teen to his record label.
"If I never can thank you for anything, it would be for not letting me go with the name Cha Cha," Usher said of his previous stage name.
The pre-Grammy event also featured performances by Patti Smith, best new artist nominees the Lumineers and Jennifer Hudson, who paid tribute to Knight and performed with the singing veteran.
Ne-Yo, Carly Rae Jepsen, Brandy, David Guetta, Babyface, Wiz Khalifa, Jordin Sparks, Tyra Banks and dozens of others attended Davis' gala.
He also called Houston the "greatest, greatest singer of our lifetime."
Sadly, I do not think so. There is Adele, Celine Dion, Taylor Swift, and so many others can match or hit the high notes better. And not with the addict baggage. If she was so great she would have had better albums more recently. Whitney "died" several years ago musically.
Sincere492: Who knows if she would be here or not. She needed to change her lifestyle and could not or would not, or worse was not allowed to. In my opinion she kept chasing the dream of a comeback, same as M Jackson. Somewhere along the line demons and habits get picked up, and who knows possibly depression from not getting the acolades and attention as from past performances. Substituting the "high" from the performances / applause, attention what have you. She could not remove herself or say no to the parties with the blow on the table, booze in the bar, etc. And in the end she kept riding that train till the conductor upstairs punched her ticket and blew the whistle on her last stop.

AUGUST 19rd, 2014 – I've been dealing with quite a flurry of grimness as of late and had to put the comic on hold quite suddenly. While I was trying to deal with things in the real world, the site was hacked and all the content pretty much destroyed. Well, that's what back-ups are for, right? Yeah, well, the back-up isn't working and I'm still in the midst of a batch of grimness and don't have the time to mess with it right now. SO, for at least a little while longer the site will continue to be broken, but it's not forgotten about – there's just more important things I have to worry about right now.
I'll update more next week with where things are, but I felt I needed to pop in and say something now while I had a free moment to do so.

Lawsuit in deadly Arivaca home invasion dismissed
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)- A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against the FBI by a woman whose husband and 9-year-old daughter were killed during a 2009 home invasion in southern Arizona.
Gina Gonzalez sued the federal government last May. She claimed an FBI agent was aware members of a militia group were planning to raid her home in Arivaca, but the agent failed to notify the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Zipps agreed with defense attorneys, who claim the FBI was exempt from litigation because the agent used his discretion under agency policy.
Gonzalez' attorney told the Arizona Daily Star that he plans an appeal.
Two people charged in the home invasion were sentenced to death row in 2011. Another defendant was sentenced to two life terms.

The University of Central Oklahoma's production of "Jack and the Beanstalk" will introduce young audiences to the joys of comic one-act opera with performances at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 7-8 at the Radke Fine Arts Theater, located in Central's Center for Transformative Learning.
"The story of 'Jack & the Beanstalk' possesses familiar, larger-than-life characters," said Nicholas Saverine, a full-time lecturer in Central's School of Music and director of the opera.
"In that way it's perfect for an opera because the characters have great big personalities which give the opera a nice energy."
The 40-minute opera centers on the adventurous young boy Jack, whose mother sends him to town to sell the family cow. Jack meets a strange man and sells the cow for just a handful of beans. When he returns home, his mother is very angry and fears they will both die of starvation. Jack takes the beans and buries them behind the house in hopes they take root. Much to his delight, that night the beans grow into a magical stalk. Jack climbs the beanstalk and discovers a giant who has taken his father's golden hen.
"That's when the adventure begins," said Saverine. "Of course, in the end we find that the Giant has a tender heart and that Jack learns a lesson or two."
The lyrics to the opera are by John Davies set to the music of Sir Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. Davies wrote the narration and dialogue in rhyme, resulting in delightful fun for the whole family.
The Oklahoma Center for Arts Education (OCAE), a division of the UCO College of Fine Arts and Design, is taking the opera on the road to elementary schools in Enid, Moore and the Oklahoma City metro area following the UCO performances.
"We are thrilled to show these students an art form that many wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity to see," said Ines Burnham, program manager of OCAE.
Admission to the opera is free, but a $3 donation is appreciated to support arts education. There are no reservations required and the UCO performances are open seating.
For more information, contact Lesley Penton in the School of Music at (405) 974-3754 or email email@example.com.

Just wonderful, family did a great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day and New Year
Ohhhhh, you got some neat stuff. I got money and gift cards, so I will find my "stuff" later. I'm not sure what I want yet.
Yep......... congratulations what a good haul

I could give a fuck less what you do with your body UNTIL it affects me. Obesity factually contributes to higher blood pressure, heart disease, joint problems, cancer, and so on. This affects the amount I'll have to pay for health insurance. Until health insurance is made fair enough that the obese pay more (don't bother bitching, you're statistically more likely to experience health problems more frequently and more severely), I refuse to give a fuck about your ~feelings.
Asked by
1. You should learn what "factual" means. Your "facts" are currently hotly disputed within the medical research community. And I love your cowardly 'and so on' — the ignorant icing on the word-vomit cake.
2. If you have a problem with the socialization of medical costs in risk pools, then have a problem with the way health insurance works where you are. Fat people (and sick people — because you're definitely hating on sick people here, you fucking piece of shit) aren't to blame for the health insurance and/or health care system. Whatever system you're in isn't the only conceivable way coverage/care can be delivered.
If I had my wish I'd cut fuckers like you out of *my* risk pool. But I have just as little control over this system as you do.
3. You obviously give a big fuck about our feelings, otherwise why would you have gotten so pissy about a thin privilege blog existing in some forgotten corner of the internet?
And no, I'm not going to be responding to any more of your arguvomits, thanksmuch.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
6 Reasons to Get Your Dairy
6 Reasons to Get More Dairy continued...
Vitamin D
Many brands of milk are fortified with vitamin D, and now some yogurt manufacturers are joining in. Vitamin D is an important vitamin, yet many of us don't get enough in our diets. Our bodies can actually make vitamin D if we get adequate sunlight, but this can be a problem for people who are housebound or who live in areas that don't get a lot of sun.
Drinking vitamin D-fortified low-fat milk is an easy way to boost your vitamin D. Vitamin D has long been known for promoting healthy bones through its role in calcium absorption. And recent research has indicated that it may be helpful for all sorts of other things, from reducing the risk of certain cancers to lowering blood pressure.
Bone Density
Getting calcium from food, rather than supplements, seems to do your bones good. A study in Finland looked at changes in bone thickness and density in girls 10 years old-12 years old whose diets were supplemented with either cheese, calcium, or calcium plus vitamin D. The cheese-eating group appeared to have bigger increases in bone mass than the other groups.
Blood Pressure
Researchers in Spain who studied more than 5,000 adults found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat dairy (mostly skim and reduced-fat milk) were 54% less likely to develop high blood pressure over a two-year period than those with the lowest intakes of low-fat dairy.
Calcium has been suspected of having an effect on blood pressure in the past. But the Spanish researchers found that only calcium from low-fat dairy products was related to a lower blood-pressure risk. The researchers suggested that this could have something to do with the proteins found in low-fat dairy (caseins and whey), which may have actions similar to those of blood pressure-lowering drugs.
After studying data from 827 men and women, Iranian researchers concluded that those who consumed the most dairy (milk, yogurt, and cheese) were less likely to have enlarged waists and metabolic syndrome, a group of symptoms that has been shown to increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
In a recent review article, a researcher from the University of Alabama at Birmingham noted that although an analysis of overall calcium consumption has not linked calcium to greater weight loss, there is increasing evidence that calcium from dairy products may play a role in body-weight regulation.
For any or all of the above reasons, aim to work in some low-fat dairy each day, whether it's from skim or 1% low-fat milk, low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese, reduced-fat cheese, or a combination.

Gcd6p is the epsilon subunit of the heteropentameric eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B), which is required for translation initiation and its regulation in all eukaryotes (6, 7, 8). eIF2B comprises a catalytic subcomplex containing Gcd1p and Gcd6p, and a regulatory subcomplex composed of Gcd2p, Gcd7p, and Gcn3p. As the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for translation initiation factor eIF2, eIF2B recycles eIF2 from a GDP- to a GTP-bound form that is competent for translation initiation, a key control point for translation (6, 7, 8, 9). Gcd6p possesses the actual guanine nucleotide exchange activity, and formation of the catalytic subcomplex with gamma subunit Gcd1p serves to stabilize the interaction of Gcd6p with eIF2, thereby enhancing its nucleotide-exchange activity (2). The C terminus of Gcd6p (residues 518 to 712) is required both for catalytic activity and interaction with eIF2, and the N-terminal region of Gcd6p is an activation domain that responds to eIF2B complex formation (10, 11). Mutations in GCD6 lead to derepressed translation and slow growth (1, 6), and deletion of GCD6 is lethal (6).
eIF2B is found in a specific cytoplasmic focus in yeast, with eIF2 shuttling back and forth, implicating this cytoplasmic focus as a site of guanine nucleotide exchange. eIF2B activity is inhibited in response to starvation or stress by phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eIF2 (2). All five yeast subunits of eIF2B share extensive sequence similarity with their mammalian counterparts (2). Mutations in any of the five human subunits cause a fatal disease called CACH (childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination) or VWM (vanishing white matter disease) (12, 9).

Barclay Recreation Center, its future once in doubt as Baltimore City pushed forward with plans to close, privatize or overhaul 55 recreation centers citywide, will start its new life next week as a community center serving the Charles Village-Oakenshawe area.
The Department of Recreation and Parks on Aug. 22 will turn over the under-utilized, 7,300-square-foot building, 2900 Barclay St., to the city public school next door, Barclay Elementary/Middle, which will operate it as a social and education center in a public-private partnership with the nonprofit Greater Homewood Community Corp.
Programming at the center under the new partnership will begin Oct. 1, said Gwendolyn Chambers, a spokeswoman for Recreation and Parks.
The transition date was originally Aug. 10, but was pushed back, said John Bernet, assistant director of neighborhood programs for Greater Homewood, a community-building organization based in Charles Village that works with 40 neighborhoods in north and central Baltimore.
The school system will cover utilities and major capital costs, Bernet said. Although the center is structurally sound and is in good condition overall, "God forbid if the roof should collapse," he said.
Barclay Elementary/Middle and Greater Homewood will be responsible for custodial maintenance and shoveling snow, as part of the partnership's business plan for the center, Bernet said.
The center is expected to offer a range of free and fee-based classes and services, from yoga to job skills training and classes t6o help people earn their high school equivalency diplomas, Bernet said. It will carve out a separate niche from the nearby Village Learning Place, a community-run library, social and after-school center in Charles Village, and the Y of Central Maryland, in Waverly, Bernet said.
"The vision has been to turn it into a community center, serving everyone in the neighborhood, from children to seniors," Bernet said.
The center, with its gymnasium and kitchen, can offer recreational activities and cooking classes, for example, he said.
Community involvement
A community advisory council is being formed to help the partnership plan programming and better define what neighborhoods the center will serve, including Charles Village, Harwood, Oakenshawe, Waverly and possibly Old Goucher in south Charles Village, Bernet said. A council meeting is being planned for later this month and a community meeting in the fall, he said.
Bernet said Barclay Elementary/Middle Principal Jenny Heinbaugh jumped at the chance to use the recreation center, because, "Barclay School is pretty pressed for space."
Greater Homewood agreed to be a partner and act as the lead agency.
"We knew it was underutilized," Bernet said.
Blair Johnson, a professor in Johns Hopkins University's Carey Business School, has done a business plan for the partnership and created a survey to find out what area residents would like to see in the center, Bernet said. Click here to take the survey.
Heinbaugh was on vacation and could not be reached for comment, but Assistant Principal Stacey Royster said, "We are very excited."
A major focus will be to offer programming to neighborhood children and youths, such as job training classes for teens, Royster said.
"We wanted to do something to get the youth off the streets," she said.
The school has no shortage of volunteers to help out at the center, Royster said.
"We even have someone who is going to help parents write resumes," she said.
She also envisions classes ranging from self-defense to dance and exercise. And she said the center is getting 20 computers, so the partnership can offer technology classes for seniors.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are separated, but neither has taken any step toward divorce ... sources tell TMZ.
Multiple sources familar with the situation tell us Khloe "effectively" declared separation when she threw Lamar out of the house Wednesday, after he refused her attempt at an intervention. TMZ broke the story ... Lamar has had a crack addiction problem for at least 2 years, and Khloe simply couldn't take it anymore.
We're told Khloe made it clear if Lamar did not get help -- the point of the intervention -- she wanted nothing to do with him anymore.
But we are also told neither Khloe nor Lamar has consulted a divorce lawyer ... at least not yet.
If and when they do file for divorce -- which we're told is likely -- there won't be much to fight over. Sources connected with the Kardashians tell us the couple signed a hard-fought prenup before they married.
We're told Kris Jenner was right in the middle of the prenup battle because she wanted to protect her daughter -- who tied the knot after a 4-week courtship.
Short story ... the fat lady hasn't sung yet, but she's warming up.
That explains the messed up teeth. He's not the Candy man, but the Crack man.
"Sources connected to the family." That says it all as to whom is providing all this info to TMZ. This smear campaign against Odom is vile = waiting to hear from someone reputable like his team or spokesperson - DO NOT BELIEVE KARDASHIAN SPIN
Separated??? WHAT? I thought PimpGranny said "they were just at my house 2 days ago and everything is fine".....Harvey recently said about the marital problems "everyone is scoffing at the rumors".....AHAHAHHAHAHAH.
Whats going on is EXACTLY what I called the other day....These 2 wud split as soon as NORF WES was put on display....and look what we have here.....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I dont know who is more transparent....TMZ/Harvey (for this inability to be convincing when covering for the Trash-Kan-Klan) or the Trash-Kan-Klan themselves?!?!?!
This family is a pathetic bunch of self-absorbed losers. They smeared Kris H. during the entire divorce from Kim...now Lamar is getting it.
I dont understand WHY this pile of trash and filth continues to be popular.
Harvey, the kris Jenner kool aid only tastes good going down. Not so much so when it comes back up.
Some of y'all seem surprised. WHY?
If this isn't true Lamar better lawyer up fast and sue the hell out of the Ks. Sad, if true but odd there has not been any comment from his team or his reps - all released via Kardashians.
I think many of the negative comments about Khloe are being posted by her sisters - they know that Robert was not her biological father and want her demoted to the status of their Jenner half sisters...truth
Congratulations, Lamar!
Ok, Lamar, now is the time to start redoing your life, although you can't undo being connected to that lot.
I hope they get stuff worked out :( I always thought they would make it...
keep it coming harvey, earn your kardashian money. we all know you sold out long ago, so yeah run stories kris sends you, so her daughter will look like a victim. nice set up for the divorce money. well guess what, no matter who you spin it, there will always be more people on anti-kardashian side. your drug stories have not been verified by anyone, but even if its all true, its disgusting how fast they were to drag him through the mud, and you're playing a huge part in it. what a disgusting family, that kris is a snake!
Let the Kardashians spew all the krap they want to. Khloe is looking like quite the desperate and pathetic fool. Not the poor little woe is me wifey krap.
Odom like Humphries will get the last laugh.
Odom is tired of being the Kardashian puppet joke. Like Humphries he will also get the last laugh.
It's not like he couldn't afford his supposed habit/they have kids to worry about/he'd leave her on the street/couldn't afford rehab...she also doesn't seem the type to leave over drug issues if they even exist. (Remember how Lamar talked about his best friend who was all messed up on crap.) She has always been the fight for what you want, f anyone else type. She definitely DOES seem like she'd leave after being humiliated repeatedly because her husband cheated a la Elin Nordegren however.
Why are you not mentioning the cheating???
If I was married into that family I'd need some crack too!
