Nine friends1 and I built an enormous igloo in the courtyard between Siebel Center and the NCSA building.
How enormous? It is nearly eight feet tall and eight and a half feet in diameter. The doorway is four feet high and two wide. All 10 of us could easily fit inside. We estimate that it took over 80 man-hours to complete: we worked from 5 to 8 PM on Friday, then from 4 PM Saturday to 5 AM (!!!) Sunday. In that time, the temperature never got above 15° F.
It was a team effort. Yun Young and Alejandro deserve credit for initiating the construction and for their inspiring enthusiasm. Ellick documented the construction process with over 600 pictures (some of which I have used with his permission here). Nathan, being the tallest, was instrumental in completing the roof. Jeff O., Kevin, and Alejandro formed an efficient snow-brick-making machine. Lucas, Jeff D., and Jeremy provided much-needed reinforcement when they arrived near the end of construction. Finally, I helped for a few hours on the first night, then observed, supported (read: bought pizza), and provided unsolicited engineering advice on the second night.
None of us expected it would turn out so big or take so long to complete. Construction was completely unplanned and proceeded organically by trial and error. We eventually converged on the following process: pack snow into bricks, lay the bricks, pack the gaps with snow, smooth the edges, and spray water on the surface to strengthen the walls.
We created bricks by packing snow into two small trash cans. It was difficult to form the dry, powdery snow into solid bricks. Our first attempts did not turn out very well.
However, Alejandro realized he could use one trash can to compress the snow inside the other. After that, he became the brickmaking expert. He could produce solid bricks that slid out of the molds like muffins out of a muffin tin. Later, he found we could alternate the wide and narrow ends of the bricks to make the joints flush.
At the end of the first night, we had three uneven layers of bricks. But there was a problem: they rose straight up, not inward as is needed to form the roof of a proper igloo. We seriously considered simply making an open snow fort. However, after adjusting the pattern of bricks on the second night, the walls started curving inward.
The next challenge was the doorway. Compressed snow has zero tensile strength (as we learned through bitter experience), but somehow we were able to make a lintel by forming a rough stairstepped arch.
The walls sloped more and more precariously.
A small opening remained at the peak of the igloo. This was the most difficult part because it was too large for a single brick and the surface was too steep to hold more bricks. Yun Young and Kevin furiously packed handfulls of snow around the edge, spraying many bottlesful of water to make sure the snow stuck. Eventually, the hole shrunk enough that Nathan and Alejandro could jam three bricks together to form a peak at the top of the igloo. They filled the remaining space with rubble.
The igloo was enclosed! The final step was smoothing the inside and outside surfaces and reinforcing joints with snow and water.
Frozen to the bone and exhausted, we collapsed on the couches inside Siebel Center.
Here is an overhead view of how the igloo came together.
The next morning, Yun Young, Kevin, Ellick, and I visited the igloo in daylight. We met a group of students who complimented us on the project. Throughout the day we observed many other people stopping to look and take pictures.
We are all incredibly proud with what built and hope that others who pass by Siebel Center will enjoy it for however long it lasts.
You can see more pictures in the gallery, Yun Young's
Update (January 12, 2010)
The igloo has been extremely popular. We saw a steady stream of visitors all day yesterday, and our guestbook already has several pages of signatures. It even caught the attention of the local news.
Thanks to Jeff O. for
Update 2: Aftermath (January 15, 2010)
A full day of above-freezing temperatures and light rain proved too much for the igloo. It had noticeably shrunk, and the sides had been bulging outward all day. It finally collapsed yesterday evening around 6:30 PM.
Judging from the orientation of the debris, it looks like the walls exploded outward and roof fell straight down onto the floor. Only the right side of the door frame remained standing.
Yun Young, Alejandro, and I paid our last respects and rescued the guestbook, which had been buried under the pile of snow.
Here are some of the best quotes from the guestbook.
You've brought joy to many.
Amazing – I'm tempted to skip work today and just chill in your igloo
This is what the Blue Waters building should be. I love it.
Sweet! will you come to my house & build one for my kids?
Get back to work!
—Your Advisor
You have a marvelous island of quiet in the busy world & it was great fun watching you build it
I've been trapped outside for the weekend.
Thank you for a shelter from the wild beasts.
The end was near the light shines through.
Godspeed to all who may encounter this oasis of warmth.
Great igloo. How about an ice pane window? We love it.
—Erin and Spencer
So proud to be an alum of UI!
—Dr. Pam
Is this igloo internet accessible too?! [
It was!—ed.]
—Jill & Tom
This is a real gift to our community . Many people have stopped to enjoy your creation. Thank you!
—Mark & Teddy
Wow this is one of "the seven wonders of UIUC"
Too cool for school
Victoria needs to sleep
I think the best epitaph comes from
This igloo is not just a shelter; no sir for that purpose has been thwarted by modern architecture. It is actually an icon of something very very special - the perseverance which grad students show in making something completely useless yet incredibly beautiful. Its a symbol of all the free time grad life provides and the crazy ideas it fills us with; ideas of finding ways of killing that free time. Who invented Ping Pong - I am sure it was a student of Confucius. Who created Olympics - the grad student mentioned somewhere in Illiad. Gustave Eiffel was a grad student too! And so, dear Yum Yum [Yun Young's nickname. —ed.], this Igloo is not anyone's baby - its bigger than a baby or for that matter, any of us. It is indeed one of the foremost exemplar of the primary grad student trait I have so painstakingly just described.
Goodbye, Siebel Center igloo. You were a testament to friendship, teamwork, and determination despite cold and discomfort. While you may have at first appeared completely useless, you brought joy to everyone who passed by.

The Short History of Charm Bracelets♫ Monday, March 19th, 2012
This form of jewelry initially had a religious function, and dates back to the prehistoric era. According to Elizabeth Florence, president of the Jewelry Information Center, "The first charm bracelets were probably worn by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and Hittites from 500 to 400 B.C. Those charms were made of lapis lazuli, rock crystal and other gems and were inscribed with small designs, such as figures of gods, man and animals. They were immediately associated with special powers."
As time passed, charms lost their protective spiritual functions and became fashion jewelry. The 1890′s saw a renaissance of charms, especially in Victorian England, where elaborate and intricate jewelry was in vogue. Queen Victoria helped popularize the trend by wearing a charm bracelet of small lockets holding family portraits.
WW II caused another revival of charm bracelets in America in the 1940′s and 1950′s, as soldiers stationed abroad picked up charms as souvenirs in the European cities they visited and brought them home for wives and girlfriends. The fashion trend continued well into peacetime.
Charms still remain a popular jewelry item, as personalized keepsakes in an increasingly mass-produced jewelry market. Popular themes include horoscope signs, birthstone charms, travel souvenirs, and family keepsakes. Many women start collecting charms when they are children, and the charm bracelet grows along with them, reflecting hobbies and personal experience. A charm bracelet can hold a small replica of a graduation cap, wedding bells, or lockets with children's photos.
Charms are also a popular gift because of their affordable price. An intricate silver charm can be obtained for less than ten dollars, though it is possible to spend hundreds of dollars on a charm made of 18K and set with gems.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Greg Monroe dribbled out from near his own basket all the way into the frontcourt. Then the 6-foot-11 centre made a nice pass to Brandon Knight, who dunked the ball at the buzzer.
On this night, it really was that easy for the Detroit Pistons.
"Sometimes, there are just crazy nights like that," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "Everything you shoot goes in. For them, everything they shoot doesn't. We've all been there."
Knight had 28 points and seven assists, and the Pistons routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 116-77 on Tuesday night in one of the NBA's most lopsided games of the season. Tayshaun Prince added 15 points for Detroit and Jonas Jerebko scored 14.
The Pistons led 61-38 at halftime and scored the first 16 points of the third quarter. Knight's dunk made it 100-50 after three.
"That's one of the worst games we've played in a long, long time. The Pistons played at least 10 times harder than we did," Cleveland coach Byron Scott said. "We've got another game tomorrow, and I told them that we must have a better effort than this."
The Cavaliers were without rookie point guard Kyrie Irving, who was out with a right shoulder problem and hasn't played since April 3. Irving could return Wednesday night against Philadelphia. Cleveland forward Alonzo Gee was a late scratch Tuesday because of a left ankle sprain.
It was easily Detroit's most lopsided victory of the season, and the only real suspense in the fourth quarter was whether the Pistons could match or exceed the biggest blowout in the entire league this season. According to STATS, LLC, the mark is Portland's 112-68 victory over Charlotte on Feb. 1.
Detroit led 116-68 before Cleveland's Manny Harris made a 3-pointer, Lester Hudson drove for a three-point play and Harris hit another 3.
Harris led the Cavaliers with 18 points.
Detroit shot 60 per cent from the field, with Knight going 11 of 12. Monroe had 12 points and 13 rebounds and Jason Maxiell scored 11 points.
"We want to finish strong and we still have a lot of time to continue to get better," Monroe said. "We want to win these last games."
Cleveland entered the game at the bottom of the Central Division, but with only one more loss than Detroit. But the Cavaliers couldn't have looked more overmatched.
"Even though the season is winding down, we wanted to set the tone for next year and the off-season and continue to build on that," Knight said.
Maxiell had two early dunks, and the Pistons raced to an 18-5 lead. Detroit led by 11 points after one and shot 12 of 16 in the second quarter, all but wrapping up the game by the time Bell Biv DeVoe came out for a halftime concert.
It got really out of hand in the third quarter. A dunk by Monroe made it 77-38 before Anthony Parker made a 3-pointer for Cleveland's first points of the half.
Cleveland's Antawn Jamison scored three points and was 0 for 10 from the field. The Cavaliers were outscored by 47 points with him on the court.
"Trust me, I'm trying to figure out what happened myself," Jamison said. "I just know that I'm not going to be watching SportsCenter or reading any newspapers for the next couple days."
NOTES: The Pistons shot 18 of 20 from the free throw line. ... The Cavaliers made 27 field goals and turned the ball over 19 times. ... Irving was shooting around on the court before the game. "It feels pretty good," Irving said of his shoulder. "I've had a lot of days of rest."

Very welcoming staff and very comfortable. A little noisy but that is to be expect being by an airport. Very good all round.
Close to the airport with free shuttle buses, if catching flights which is why we chose here, clean and tidy, staff were friendly and helpful,
You can hear the aircraft overhead quite loudly and constantly during the day and up to late evening which can be noisy
Very close to the airport and very clean
The phone in the room did not work broken
Location is good. We got free bus service also.
Nobody told me wifi code and nowhere indicated it. The staff on front desk won't pick up phone.
When our flight delay kept us overnight it was affordable and has a shuttle from the airport that was running every 15 - 20 minutes.
It is an older, worn, hotel, near the airport. The late night/early morning flights are very low over the hotel, and its sound proofing isn't great. It is also not near anything by foot, so if you are there by shuttle, as we were, the only meal option appears to be the pizza place who's ad was prominently displayed in the room. We actually had brought food with us, so I can't speak to the quality of the pizza.
That it was very close to the airport.
Furniture is outdated and drywall in bathroom was peeling badly at the ceiling. I was just too tired to request and then carry my 3 bags to a different room.
I feel as though the price for the room was too expensive because it was not in good condition.
There was garbage up under the beds meaning they were not properly cleaned also the bathroom was also dirty.
Cleaning staff was efficient and friendly
Found roaches in room...dirty carpet
Very close to the airport. Free airport shuttle
you can hear every plane departure - every 5 minutes...
The young man who checked us in. For the 15 minutes it us to check in, he had a constant line of potential guests wanting to check in and confirmed guests checking in--and both computers had crashed on him. Still he remained pleasant, unruffled and professional. He is an asset to Days Inn, please recognize him with praise if not a monetary bonus.
The location right under the Atlanta airport flight path. Wow, those jets sure are loud when you're only a few hundred feet under them! I'm sorry you can't remedy that because it's the only negative about this Days Inn. Even though it was pleasant rainy weather, we kept our room door and window closed and left the TV on all night to muffle the jet noise.
rate was good and service good
Hotel van driver very nice but the van was old and ratty and the seats are worn and dirty.
Nice area, privacy
The sound of the airplanes was a lil scary
The room was nasty. The tub was filthy. There was a tub mat and underneath it the tub was filled with black dirty mold. The bed had a urine smell and the box spring had a black ring around it on the sides.
the hotels upkeep
That the hotel provides breakfast
That the breakfast was gone before the allowed time to receive it!!!!
Value for money
Airplanes loud, staff try hard to run a business despite this difficulty
It was convenient
I found someone else's public hairs in my wash cloth. Also someone else's clothes were left under the bed.
wifi, breakfast, free shuttle to airport, TV and iron in the room. also i needed photocopy and printing services and was available. conveniently located near the airport, good value of money.
crowded room
WiFi was not bad
Dirty, dingy, worn out, unsafe. Does not look like the owner has done any maintenance or improvements for the past ten years. Can't believe Days Inn permits their name to be affiliated with this dump.
third shift managerwas very ude an uite impateint with guest .over the fact that the bread had run out. an was insensetie that guest wanted breakfast ven though it was8.50 a.m. . breakfast stops at 9 a.m. no oat meal jice machine was broke an no one from staff offered a cup of juice or anything similar . no back up plan.. i had travled in stayed at days inn before it was terrible.
i came down with the benny hinn crusade . i will never reccomend this place to anyone. the van drivers was very cordial an helpful.
Staff was very friendly and helpful
Overall appeal of the hotel was poor
Short travel time from airport. Free airport shuttle.
Is right under take off pattern...very noisy. Breakfast was dismal...premade omelets that had the texture of rubber... cheap white bread for toast no fresh or even canned fruit... no protein to be found. Furnishings were worn and stained.
Good location for car hire and airport. Very reasonably priced and ideal for one night stopover.
Oh bar or eating area for call out on arrival.
Not much to like unless you like crack dealers running round all note. Planes buzzing hotel all hours. Mystery stains on furniture and rugs. No hot water clogged sinks

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - More than a million people visited downtown Louisville this past month.
They enjoyed themselves at Thunder Over Louisville, the Republic Bank Pegasus Parade, Oaks, Derby, Kroger's Fest-a-Ville on the Waterfront, Chow Wagons, Marathons and Mini-Marathons, the Great Bed Races and Steamboat Races, Balloon Fest, Beer Fest, WineFest, concerts, balls, the Basketball Classic, and many more uniquely Louisville events.
And none of them were stained by a criminal element.
We salute the extra police presence and prepared planning that ensured safety first.
We salute the officers who approached their work with a helping hand attitude that many people commented made a big difference in calming the concerns some had with participating in the fun this year, after the incidents before the Derby Festival at the Waterfront and the worries in the wake of them.
From the impressive Churchill Downs renovations punctuated by the terrific new video board unlike any other in the world, to the beautiful weather we were blessed to have for all of the big events, this year's Derby Festival season sparkled.
The many volunteers who had a hand in making this year outstanding deserve special applause as well!
The spotlight on Louisville returns in 90 days with the PGA championship.
Bring it on!

25% to 40% of all women who are abused, are battered during pregnancy.
About Domestic Violence

Information on the Web
Statistics about Domestic Violence During Pregnancy
Domestic violence is a serious problem that affects many women. Pregnant women are particular vulnerable to abuse, and by some estimates suffer partner abuse at rates higher than the background population. Unfortunately, domestic violence frequently begins or intensifies during pregnancy. It is one of the most common complications during pregnancy.
Each year 1.5 million women in the United States report a rape or physical assault. This number includes 324,00 women who are pregnant.
25% - 40% of all women who are battered are battered during pregnancy.
15% - 25% of pregnant women are physical and sexually abused.
At least l in 6 women is abused during pregnancy.
One quarter of pregnant women is physically abused.
4% - 17% of all women are abused during pregnancy.
Nearly 50% of abusive husbands batter their wives when they are pregnant.
Why Abuse is Directed Toward Pregnant Woman
Abuses of pregnant women are triggered by the same situations that trigger abuse in non-pregnant women. These triggers for violence include domestic services, sex, jealousy, and money.
The woman's body, which previously might have been considered the property of the man, is now taken over by the fetus. Battering may be triggered later in pregnancy if an insecure man places undue emphasis on his mate's appearance and begins to dislike his partner's changing body.
The woman may be tired and not want sex or be unable to do housework. In this situation, the abusive partner may rape the pregnant woman or abuse her for not fulfilling her household duties.
The male is jealous of his partner's focus on the pregnancy and the impending birth of their children. A new baby may be perceived as threatening to a jealous man who will soon have to share his partner's time and attention with the child. In addition, having a child can evoke anger if one angry batterer resents the added responsibility.
12% of women with unwanted pregnancies and 8% of women with mistimed pregnancy reported physical abuse, while only 3% of women with planned pregnancies reported being physically hurt by their partners.
How Abuse Affects the Mother and the Fetus
When a pregnant woman is assaulted, two individuals are endangered, the woman herself and her unborn child. Violence during pregnancy may be more harmful since it poses a significant threat to the fetus. Effects to the mother range from fractured bones to maternal death, and effects to the fetus range from preterm birth and fetal distress to miscarriages and stillbirth.
Battering of the pregnant women tends to be directed at the breast, abdomen, and genitals. Abdominal trauma to the pregnant woman can cause abruptio placentae leading to fetal loss, early onset of labor, delivery of a low birth weight infant, abdominal organs ruptured in the infant, and fractures. Physical abuse may also result in premature rupture of membranes, rupture of mother's uterus, spleen or liver, premature separation of placenta, anemia, or infections such as chorioamnionitis.
The victimization of a woman may lead to exacerbation of chronic illnesses, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or asthma, which may have a negative effect on the fetus.
Maternal psychological stress has been associated with depression, stress, and this may have indirect and direct effects on the fetus. Direct effects result in precipitation of pre-term delivery or placental hypoperfusion resulting in delayed fetal growth.
Abuse may also lead to risk such as elevated stress and isolation and therefore inadequate access to prenatal care. Emotional distress may increase frequency of behavioral risks such as alcohol, drug, and tobacco use and inadequate maternal nutrition. However, many women receive inadequate prenatal care because the men who abuse them forbid them to go.
Battered pregnant women are more likely than non- battered pregnant women to report drug and alcohol abuse during pregnancy, thus placing the baby at risk for fetal alcohol syndrome or drug addiction.

Description Of NFS Hot Pursuit 2 : As you wrap your hands on the steering wheel, you can feel the metal beast trembling. Suddenly the other racers around you come to life and you slam your foot on the pedal, making your own racer dart out into the open road at top speed. From behind you comes the police in their equally fast and sophisticated vehicles, their only intent is to stop this illegal race. In Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, all you can do is strap on your seat belt and gun it–this is one wild race.
You have a slew of fast cars at your disposal from the sleek and sexy Dodge Viper GTS to the fast and furious Ferrari 360 Spider. And again, the basic objective is to elude police cars that are trying to put an end to the race or you can do the chasing as the police (complete with spike strips, road blocks and helicopter support). The emphasis is on speed and quick reflexes as you race to win while trying not to get rammed off the road.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says the Justice Department is trying to track down the thieves who hacked Target, compromising the payment card information or personal information of 110 million people.
Hackers stole about 40 million debit and credit card numbers and the personal information of another 70 million people.in the pre-Christmas data breach.
"While we generally do not discuss specific matters under investigation, I can confirm the Department is investigating the breach involving the U.S. retailer, Target," Holder said. "We are committed to working to find not only the perpetrators of these sorts of data breaches, but also any individuals and groups who exploit that data via credit card fraud."
A California-based company has tracked the malware to a 17 year old from Russia, but they are unsure whether or not he used it himself or sold it to other cyber criminals.

Some implications of increased cooperation in world oil conservation
AbstractIn this article, Stephen Brown and Hillard Huntington combine recent studies of world oil markets and the nascent literature on damage estimates from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to derive cost and benefit curves for the reduction of these emissions through cooperative programs of oil conservation. Their analysis shows that the desirability of extending cooperation in global energy conservation policies is essentially an empirical issue rather than a conceptual one. The current evidence suggests that over the next two decades, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development will have an incentive to reduce its oil consumption and the associated CO2 emissions by more than is optimal from a world perspective. During this period, extending cooperation to the oil-importing developing countries may push oil conservation too far.

This was AMAZING!!!! My entire family loved it and I made it for guests and all of them asked for the recipe. I am even still having other family members contacting me asking about it since they heard about how good it is. I didn't have fresh cranberries at the time, so I used dried cranberries at the very end and didn't notice much of a difference. One time I made it I substituted pork tenderloin (for that is what i had in the freezer) and even it was delicious.

New York Rangers vs. Buffalo Sabres, 7:00 PM at Madison Square Garden
Where To Watch: MSG 2
Where To Listen: 1600-AM, WWRL
Live In-Game Chat: 6:45 PM on BlueshirtsUnited.com
The Rangers (46-20-7, 99 pts) look to close out their longest homestand of the season on a winning note---and surpass the 100-point mark in the process---when they host the Buffalo Sabres tonight (35-29-10, 80 pts). The Rangers are 4-2-0 so far on this seven-game homestand, having won each of their last two games---4-2 over the Devils on Monday and 2-1 in overtime against the Red Wings on Wednesday. They will also be looking to stay ahead of the red-hot Penguins for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers own a one-game lead over Pittsburgh---which won again last night---with nine games left to play in the regular season. This evening's game is one of a myriad of possible first-round post-season series for the Rangers, who clinched a playoff berth on Monday. With 80 points Buffalo sits in ninth place, one point behind the Washington Capitals, and both teams have eight games to play. Should they vault into eighth and the Rangers finish in first in the East, the Sabres and Blueshirts would face off in the first round of the playoffs. However that is a long ways off, and the Rangers are more focused on raising their collective game to a higher level each night before the post-season rolls around. And they feel they have done that their last three contests, starting with last Saturday's unfortunate 3-1 loss against the Avalanche. The Sabres come in having own two straight this week, including Wednesday's 3-0 shutout over the Canadiens, and are 4-0-2 while earning at least one point in each of their last six games. While the Rangers will be missing Steve Eminger from their lineup again tonight, the Sabres will do without the injured Nathan Gerbe.
This is the fourth and final meeting between the Rangers and Sabres this season. The Rangers have won all three games against Buffalo so far this season, including the exciting 3-2 overtime victory at The Garden on February 25th in which Ryan Callahan scored his 100th career goal---the game winner in OT. The Blueshirts have surrendered only three goals in the season series, outscoring the Sabres 8-3---including by a 5-1 margin in the third period and overtime. Carl Hagelin leads the Rangers with three goals and four points against Buffalo this season.
"I think the last few (games) we've been playing the way we have wanted to, and then the last couple of those we have gotten the result we wanted, too. We want to get our game resolved and ride that out and take that into the playoffs. We want to have our game at that top level when the (regular) season is over."-Marc Staal
By The Numbers
The Rangers improved to 11-7 in games decided after 60 minutes of play with Wednesday's overtime victory over the Red Wings. They are 8-2 in the actual five-minute overtime period, and 3-5 in the shootout. Marian Gaborik has scored thee overtime winning goals fort he Rangers this season, and Ryan Callahan---who had the winner Wednesday---has netted a pair.
The Blueshirts are 26-9-2 on home ice this season, their best record at The Garden since 2008-09 when they were 26-11-4. With four home games remining on the schedule, the Rangers will be seeking their most home-ice wins since the Stanley Cup season of 1993-94 when they won 28 times at Madison Square Garden.

Oh I love Halle Berry. And who doesn't! This Hollywood starlet has always been a keen favorite in the film and beauty world. With many movies under her – an Oscar winning actress to the global face of international beauty brand Revlon – Halle has a lot to be happy about!
But as with many things her hair and make-up has always changed throughout the years. And 2009 has been no exception. With her hair up, down, long or short. Halle knows how to wear it! Here is a taster on how to wear your hair wavy. With Halle as our inspiration!
Here Halle is looking exceptionally beautiful with her hair soft and wavy.
To achieve this hair style, wash and condition hair as normal. And then blow dry until slightly damp. Add large rollers, with a setting lotion. I love the Aveda Brilliant line for heat setting. Blow dry again with hair set in rollers. Once dry to the touch let out the large rollers-you should have a soft wave developing. Then brush your fingers through your hair, adding some Aveda finishing lotion for shine-and you are good to go!
Aveda Brilliant Line is great for heat styling!
The Brilliant Spray Shine adds a glossy finish!

Turns out Jessica Simpson is pissed at Nick Lachey for Nick's comments last week about not having to worry about Joe Simpson playing grab-ass with him under the table at Thanksgiving dinners anymore…. Needless, we are not shocked Jess is pissed… Click the pic for the full comments!
Well, this might be a little awkward. Father, Joe, and daughter Jessica Simpson still aren't on speaking terms due to Jessica's parents getting a divorce and the gay rumors surrounding Joe. However, Joe will still serve as executive producer to the sitcom that Jessica just shot a pilot for… click the pic for more!
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are apparently at odds due to Jessica's father, Joe Simpson. However, it may not be what you think. After Joe divorced Jess' mother Tina and rumors of a gay love affair surfaced, Jessica basically shunned her father for good. But, Eric thinks deep down that Joe is a good person and Jessica isn't being fair. Click the pic for more details.
Despite being knocked up unexpectedly for the second time, Jessica Simpson supposedly still wants to get married before the birth of the second child. The marriage was originally bumped by the unexpected first child, then a friend's wedding, then her father's divorce, and now the rumored second child..
On the other side of the Joe Simpson gay rumors, ex-wife Tina Simpson is reportedly "going crazy" because she just wants to know the truth. Tina has heard all the rumors before and Joe continues to deny them which is not helping.
The rumors that Joe Simpson, father of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, is gay continue unabated as new reports say Joe hired 32 year old gay escort Joey Anderson. Joey has supposedly passed a lie detector test and states that Joe never seemed to tire of sex. Joe continues to state all rumors are false.
Now that Joe and Tina Simpson are getting divorced after 35 years of a marriage, a new rumor has surfaced. It is now being reported that Joe Simpson has been having a gay love affair with his 21 year old golfing partner Bryce Chandler Hill. Reports also state Bryce has been bragging about it on and off again for about one year.
This just in: Joe and Tina Simpson, parents of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, have filed for divorce after 35 years. Reps state that the divorce is amicable with no third party involve and any other story is completely false.
Joe Simpson, father of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, has plead not guilty to two counts of driving under the influence when he was pulled over in Sherman Oaks, CA back in August. The family was shocked when the news of his arrest originally broke.
Well here's a blast-from-the-past: The former minister and father/manager to Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, Joe Simpson, was arrested for DUI last week and spent the night in jail. No comment from the Simpson family but we still thought it was interesting.

which includes seeing a dentist, at least once a year; this is an ideal opportunity to provide them with strategies to resist trying tobacco.
Finding: Ironically, the very environment that appears to be conducive for tobacco users to remain abstinent (the post–basic-training period) also appears to be conducive to tobacco initiation by never-users and experimental users.
Recommendation: Given the high rate of eventual tobacco-use initiation, the committee believes that future research in tobacco-use prevention efforts in the military should have high priority.
Finding: The committee commends the armed services for their bans on tobacco use during basic training.
Recommendation: The committee recommends that DoD promptly establish a timeline to extend the tobacco ban beyond entry-level–enlisted and officer-training programs to eventually close the pipeline of new tobacco users entering military service and to eliminate tobacco use on all US military installations.
Surveillance activities—the processes of monitoring tobacco-related attitudes, behaviors, and health outcomes at regular intervals—can occur at many organizational levels and serve a variety of functions. Survey instruments are one mechanism for collecting short-, intermediate-, and long-term data on process and population outcomes and eliminating disparities. The data are evaluated to provide an indication of how tobacco-control programs are operating and whether they are meeting their goals.
The 1999 strategic plan's Goal D.1 specifies that the MHS should actively identify tobacco users and provide targeted interventions. To identify tobacco users, a systematic approach is best. The strategic plan calls on DoD to "develop and monitor a centralized, Tri-Service (Army, Navy, and Air Force) reporting and surveillance system to track tobacco use" (Requirement D.1), "develop a plan to annually conduct a health-risk appraisal that includes the assessment of tobacco-use habits and mandates participation for active-duty personnel" (Requirement D.1.3), "develop a draft policy that requires tobacco use to be documented as '5th vital sign' at all medical and dental appointment"
