American Idol began its 13th season Wednesday night on Fox with auditions in Boston, Massachusetts, and Austin, Texas.
The show unveiled its new panel -- Keith Urban , Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr. -- as well as a new wrinkle to the auditions round: "The Chamber." We saw some of the contestants enter the small room to prepare before meeting the judges.
Here are some of the highlights from Wednesday's two-hour episode:
The show got things started right away with a look at Marrialle Sellars , whose tryout was actually in Detroit. She performed Bruno Mars ' "Grenade" on her acoustic guitar. Harry said she will be a "nightmare" for the other contestants. J-Lo said Marrialle had a nice tone, which she wasn't expecting. Marrialle earned a golden ticket, and then the show posted a graphic asking if she'll become the next "American Idol."
Troy Durden , 29, twerked for the panel before delivering a soulful rendition of "Over the Rainbow." At the request of the judges, he then sang and twerked at the same time. We'll see him again.
The panel was on the fence over 16-year-old Stephanie Hanvey , who sang the Jessie J hit "Price Tag." The general consensus was that her vocals needed more work, but they liked her composure. After a lengthy pause, they passed her through.
Morgan Deplitch , 15, was even younger than Stephanie. Given her age, Harry was a little concerned about the sexually-charged lyrics in her song choice, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals ' "Paris (Ooh La La)." Nevertheless, she advanced, too.
Another teen, Austin Percario , earned votes of confidence from the judges after his performance of David Guetta 's "Titanium." Urban said he sounded like how Justin Bieber would sound if he sang at 5 a.m.
Kaitlyn Jackson , 15, belted out an original song, "Another Angel," which she wrote just before her grandfather passed away. Kaitlyn lamented the fact that her grandfather was never able to hear the song, but Harry told her he was listening to her audition from heaven. Kaitlyn will be back.
Keith London , 21, put an acoustic spin on Katy Perry 's "Roar." J-Lo said she liked the song even more after hearing Keith's stripped-down version. Harry wasn't as enthusiastic, calling it "OK." Keith received a golden ticket.
Twenty-two-year-old hairdresser Madelyn Patterson cruised to the next round after singing "Up to the Mountain (MLK Song)."
Malcolm Allen played his "air guitar" as he sang the Stevie Wonder classic "Superstition" a cappella. He's moving on in the competition.
Rolando Guerrero broke down in tears upon meeting Jennifer Lopez. She graciously gave him a hug, but any goodwill he built up dissipated when he butchered her tune "Hold It Don't Drop It." He was sent home.
Harry was ecstatic when he found out Munfarid Zarid reads Harry's Wikipedia page every night before he goes to sleep. Before Munfarid's performance of Adele 's "Crazy for You," Harry hugged him; afterward, he cradled him in his arms. Munfarid got the golden ticket.
At the end of the episode, we saw Keith celebrate the fact that his most recent album, Fuse , hit #1 in three countries.
The auditions continue Thursday night with another two-hour episode that begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Fox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any advice on using clearblue digital ovulation? Success stories :)?
I used it the last two months but only had sex the day I got the positive and the day after. Are you supposed to do it the day of positive and the next two days? Just wondering and I would also like to hear any success stories
Well to have the best chance of conceiving you should be having regular sex as in every 2 days! I used them to conceive my first son and well I had regular sex like I said and then tried the 2 days that I was supposed to and then again the day after ovulation was supposed to have occurred. It may also be worth noting that the first month I used these tests I fell pregnant after 2 and half years of trying.
Best of luck
So I totally gave in and purchased the clearblue digital ovulation tests (pack of 20) it says to start testing on day 6..I won't start until day 8 because my period usually lasts 7 to 8 days... but do they work pretty well? So far I've heard good things about them.. and I figure if I test everyday that I won't miss my lh surge.. but are their any success stories anyone can share with me? Not going to lie I'm looking for a little confidence boost here. My last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage so I'm trying to be as hopeful as I can about my next
Digital fertility monitors - worth the money?
Im considering getting one of these but not sure how the work or if they are any better than the ovulation sticks you pee on?
I know the clearblue are quite expensive but if they work then i dont mind how much!!
Anyone any success stories using this or know a bit more about them?
Fertility monitors are better than LH surge sticks.
Fertility monitors test for both the LH surge (which happens 12-48 hours before ovulation), and the estrogen surge (which happens 3-5 days before ovulation). By testing for this combo, you increase your chances of hitting the right days.
If you want to monitor both for cheaper you can also look into buying LH surge strips, and a saliva monitor (which test for estrogen).
I used Clearblue monitor on my last cycle since I was getting tired of during all the work myself. I got pregnant right away, though miscarried due to auto immune issues. Personally I plan on using it again.

Do zoos help biodiversity conservation?
Zoos are becoming more aware of the role they can play in preventing species extinction. The California Condor, the black-footed ferret, and the Przewalski's horse have all been saved from extinction because of zoos. Zoos also aid conservation by inspiring people to learn more about the diversity of life. However for every species saved in a zoo, hundreds if not more will perish outside of zoos. Is the role of the zoo to showcase and educate the public about the organisms they keep in captivity or should they also focus on conservation outside zoo boundaries?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 8 2012: I think one major problem with zoos today is that there is little reason to come back. Most if not all the exhibits are permanent, and animals are generally on daily routines that do not vary much. Unless you have a child who is obsessed with animals, the chances are you have not been to a zoo in a long time. I understand that the infrastructure necessary to house animals and care for them is expensive, but zoos need to find a way to be more dynamic in their exhibits to encourage return trips. Either this or make the community feel more involved with the successes of the zoo by hosting more events that celebrate things like successful in-house breeding or the arrival of a new animal. Zoos could also take an additional step by throwing events to celebrate conservation successes outside of the zoo or even the country, and try to establish themselves as a social gathering places for people who want to promote these causes.

I actually kind of like this song. I just feel like the video was cheapened by the promiscuity. There is a huge difference between tasteful nudity for a song of this caliber and promiscuity. Like, Rihanna was nude in her song "Stay," which is really similar to Miley's new song, but it conveyed vulnerability.

Tiger Woods actually won a golf event Sunday ... birdying the last two holes to win the Chevron World Challenge by one stroke.
It's about time.

Which Putt-Putt golf course do they play the Chevron World Challenge on?
Congrats Tiger!!!!!!!!
On TMZ website they move stories around according to popularity or importance. Why is Tiger Woods winning at golf heading the site instead of a missing person That needs help?
who cares?he's such a loser.
TMZ should get their favorite topic, Kim KarTrashian, hooked up with Tiger ... he's exactly her type of guy. And he goes for the trashy women too.
I guess all that bimbo syphilis really can be cured with a antibiotic ****tail. Team Erin.
Tiger woods is a sleazy human...and he gets glory for winning against an inferior field no top 5 player in field. Tiger won many by intimidation this is gone Don't think he will win another major
Big deal. 1) It is not a PGA sanctioned tournament, 2) There were 18 players in the field, TOTAL. 3) It was HIS tournament!!. Why am I so pissed? Because I will be forced to hear from every talking head on TV and radio how he is the greatest golfer in the world again. UP YOURS, ELDRICK!!
Way to go Tiger.
Congratulations to Tiger Woods!!! All he has to do is keep playing and he'll gradually regain his momentum. Who cares about the "HATERS"!!! The PAST is the PAST and his ex-wife was VERY WELL PAID!!! If she's not "SWEATING" her ex, WHY SHOULD THEY??? Elin probably "LAUGHED" all the way to the "BANK"!!! YOU GO TIGER!!!
He should be egged at these events.

An Edwardian villa, the home of George Bernard Shaw from 1906 till his death in 1950.
A large red-brick detached house, Shaw's Corner was built in 1902 as the New Rectory for Ayot St Lawrence. Shaw summed it up: "A twelfth-century village where the last thing of real importance that had happened was perhaps the Flood".
The rooms remain much as he left them, with many literary and personal effects and many touches evoking the individuality and genius of this great dramatist. The garden has richly planted borders and views over the Hertfordshire countryside.
Built by local architects and using local materials, it has some lovely Arts and Crafts details, particularly in the brick work round the windows and other features such as hearts in the banisters.
Venue Type:
Historic house or home, Garden, parklands or rural site

Concentrating most of his money on the engine rather than external cosmetics, Ben was able to generate his first stage of substantial horsepower. A year after he purchased his chariot the Supra went from making 296 rear-wheel horsepower to laying 365 to the DynoJet roller.
This was achieved by adding boost pressure via a Blitz SBC Dual Solenoid boost controller. Utilizing the Blitz unit not only allows the factory boost levels to be surpassed, the unit also cut turbo lag down to a minimum. The boost controller is a dual solenoid set-up, which means the wastegate's valve doesn't crack open till a few psi before its max boost. This causes the turbo to spool harder in the low to mid rpm levels. Added boost pressure needs extra breathing room and since the factory downpipe and exhaust system can be a horsepower killer Rod Millen replaced the factory downpipe with a Rod Millen unit and a GReddy exhaust system. Since the car was based on retaining the stealth look, Ben found the GReddy Power Extreme exhaust system the most camouflaged to onlookers.
HKS and the Toyota Supra go hand-in-hand when dealing with engine management and two of the most popular units incorporated to the factory ECU are the HKS Vein Pressure Converter (VPC) and Graphic Control Computer (GCC). The VPC grants removal of the OE air flow meter in place of a speed/density-type system while the GCC entitles the user fuel tuning capabilities through designated rpm ranges. The factory ECU received a ROM-tune by G-Force which enhanced fuel delivery as well as timing compensation for the extreme boost levels.
Just when you thought the ponies stopped here, Ben's addiction to horsepower grew like an unchallenged wildfire. This encouraged Ben to return to Rod Millen Motorsports for a full turbo package. The crew immediately replaced the factory turbo set-up with a pair of HKS 2835 GT ball-bearing turbos complete with two standard HKS wastegates, air filters and exhaust manifold. The new set-up relocated the turbos so it was necessary to replumbd the air intake. Since the factory air intake is like eating steak through a straw Ben opted to use Twin Power Flow air filters with aluminum HKS intake pipes. An HKS front-mount intercooler which replaced the factory side-mount greatly increased the cooling capacity of the turbo system. To conceal the intercooler, Ben cut out a metal mesh grille and had it powder-coated black making it difficult to spot the HKS core through the bumper. Once the car was up and running it was back to the dyno for a quick retune of the VPC and GCC. As the car was commencing its second low boost pass of 17 psi the clutch was unable to clamp the flywheel horses to the rear wheels. Although the second pass was unrecorded, the first low-boost pass was able to generate 480 horsepower which was quite promising.

Who's Watching As White House Collects Emails (For Illegal Campaigning?)
June 5, 2011 | Filed Under Barack Obama, Campaign Finance, Crime, Democrats/Leftists, Elections, Ethics, Government, Liberals, President, Warner Todd Huston | 4 Comments
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Official White House website has a questionable new addition. When you land on the White House main page a notice fills your screen asking you kindly if you'd like to supply them with your email address so that they can send you "periodic updates from President Obama and other administration officials."
Well, isn't that nice? Why, you can give Obama your email address and he'll send you his "updates." Gosh. Just before an election, too. Now, I wonder: just where will all those email addresses go? After all, it is illegal to use official government apparatuses for political campaigning, isn't it?
Doug Ross thinks that the Obama Administration has turned the official White House website into an illegal campaign arm of Obama's 2012 reelection campaign. I can't say it is too much of a stretch to think this, either.
Certainly we cannot say with certainty that all these email addresses supplied to the White House will *cough* accidentally *cough* end up in the hands of Obama's 2012 campaign staff, but the big question is, who is watching?
Ross has another good point, too. "There is only one reason that the White House is collecting email addresses," he writes. "It is to promote, directly or indirectly, the reelection campaign of Barack Obama."
Too true. Even if these email addresses are not used to directly promote Obama's campaign efforts, the fact that emails are going out under his name during an election campaign indirectly promotes him anyway.
Perhaps, though, since he is the incumbent and has a job to do during the campaign, this is unavoidable. But in this era of mass communications, it is an all new deal. Instead of just being on TV or the radio, instead of just being mentioned in news stories while simultaneously doing his job and running for reelection, Obama can now flood the personal email inboxes of millions of people individually while "doing his job."
This level of personal contact was unheard of during past presidential campaigns. Won't constant emails "from the White House" help sway voters Obama's way whether they have direct appeals in them from his campaign or not?
Again, who is watching to make sure that Obama's staff does not *cough* accidentally *cough* take all these email addresses that were meant only for the "White House updates" and put them in with his campaign email database? Is anyone watching to make sure Obama is not breaking campaign laws?
Anyone? Beuller?

Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin.

Makes no sense to play the game, there ain't no way that you'll win.
Pretend, he just stayed outside all day and played with his friends.
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend!
And it wasn't time to move in schools when changing again.
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid.
He had a father and his mother wasn't crazy as shit.
And he never dreamed he could rid of stadiums and just lazy as shit.
Fuck a talent show in a gymnasium bitch, you're all about the shit, quit day-dreaming kid.
You need to get your cranium checked, you're thinking like an alien; it just ain't realistic.
Now pretend, they ain't just make him angry with this shit, and there was no one he could even aim at when he's pissed with.
And his alarm went off to wake him but he didn't make it
To the Rap Olympics
Slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gonna have a hard time explaining to Hailey and Lainey these food stamps and this weak shit.
Cause he never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it but it didn't fall in his lap, so he ain't even here.

For the first time since 2008, the Marion County High School baseball team has won four straight games. Their recent streak has improved their record to 8-5 on the season.
The 2008 season included five-game and a 10-game winning streaks. Last season the Knights had a hard time stringing together wins, never putting together more than three consecutive victories.
The Knights played lights out last week, winning four games, including two crucial district match-ups and a border battle with Washington County.
The Marion County High School softball team had an up and down week last week, dropping a game to district opponent Adair County but knocking off district power Taylor County at Taylor.

William U. Scott has represented Marion County as an elected official since 1994, and he hopes to keep doing so for another four years. In the May 18 primary, Scott is running for re-election as the Marion County property valuation administrator.
"It has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience and I would like the opportunity to continue to serve," he wrote in a questionnaire for the Enterprise.
Scott previously served as the state representative from 1994 to 2002. He has been the PVA since then.

The art world was preoccupied last week with a newly discovered van Gogh, but librarians at the University of Iowa recently showcased a neat find of their own: delicate landscape paintings hidden just inside the margins of four 19th-century books by Scottish writer Robert Mudie. The books concern the four seasons, and sometime after they were published, an unidentified artist adorned each book with seasonally themed art using a technique known as "fore-edge painting," in which the book is fanned open using a special press, letting the artist create a painting across the tips of the pages that vanishes when the book is closed.
Fore-edge painting is an art form so discreet that examples of it can sit on dusty library shelves for decades without being discovered. That's what happened at the University of Iowa, where a student brought them to the attention of librarian Colleen Theisen. The library posted GIF animations of the paintings being fanned open, then closed. The Boston Public Library also has a number of fore-edge paintings, which you can see at foreedge.bpl.org.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - The Sheboygan man who stole a County Highway Pickup Truck in August was sentenced Monday in Sheboygan County Court. Judge Timothy Van Akkern sentenced 43 year old Randall Graham to 3 years in prison and 3 years on extended supervision for stealing a ½ ton pickup truck and fleeing while being questioned by police in an interview room at the Police Department in mid-August. Graham ditched the pickup truck, which was later located, and was arrested following a high speed chase through Sheboygan the next day, while driving a different vehicle.

At TPM Cafe today, there's a great piece about how sequestration cuts are making it harder for scientists to do research on lifesaving medical treatments:
The sequester was supposed to be so draconian that it would drive politicians to accept some alternative budget compromise. Unfortunately compromise seems to be a dirty word in Washington, and it has become almost dogma for some that any government spending is inherently wrong and should be opposed on principle. But does that really extend to scientific biomedical research that can save lives?
Some types of government spending are crucial and necessary. These investments include not only breast cancer research, but all avenues of basic scientific research funded by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Private industry rarely funds very basic research because it needs a return on investment within two to five years at the most. The government is the only entity with enough patience and deep enough pockets to fund long-term basic research. Private foundations are not even in the same league in dollar amounts. The entire research budgets of charities such as Komen for the Cure ($75M) and the American Cancer Society ($160M) combined are less than the 5 percent sequester cut to the $4.8 billion National Cancer Institute budget.
The biggest breakthroughs, the fundamental advances that enable the development of new cancer drugs for leukemia or melanoma or triple-drug cocktails that keep HIV in check, come from scientists working not in private industry, but at universities, nonprofit research institutions and government labs that are funded by these agencies, and ultimately by the American taxpayer.
It's not enough that veterans can't get mental healthcare, or that schools are eliminating their special ed resources? Now we're also stuck with a system where cancer patients, their families, and the scientists trying to help them are screwed over, and the progress of scientific inquiry and knowledge are hampered, potentially for decades? Fuck you, sequestration.

May 2013 – January 2014
Morning – Melanie Gluck, MasterCard
Afternoon – Tucker Foote, MasterCard
Morning Session: The Next Generation of Payments: The Future is Now
There is an urgent need for U.S. Payment Providers to position EMV and Mobile technology as strategic imperatives.
Have any of the following questions been addressed at your credit union?
- What is EMV?
- How is it used outside of the U.S.?
- Why are we talking about it now?
- What are the liability shift timelines for issuers and merchants?
- What are the key benefits (reduced fraud and loyalty/usage uptake)
- What is our strategy related to EMV?
- Do we agree it's important?
- Do we think the time is right to think about reissue on a mass or rolling basis?
- How long would it take to be ready?
- Have we discussed a mobile payments strategy?
- Are we concerned about losing transactions?
To address these issues, we are pleased to present a Retail Payments Strategy Discussion. The program will feature an overview of EMV and Mobile Technology and how they will affect your short- and long-term retail strategies.
Afternoon Session: Payment Systems Legislation & Regulatory Compliance
Given the current credit regulation tenor and speculation on the possibility of heightened oversight, this workshop will address how to protect your debit and credit card operations from further
legislative intervention.
Specific legislative topics will include:
- The merchant community's lobbying efforts to expand interchange regulations;
- Future restrictions on prepaid products; and,
- Data security legislation with a specific focus on notification procedures and breach liability requirements.
NCUA's Letter to Federal Credit Unions #11-FCU-02, issued in February of 2011, requires that directors of FCUs "must have at least a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices, including the ability to read and understand the credit union's balance sheet and income statement."
It continues, "A director must understand these financial statements to participate in a meaningful manner in the direction and control of the institution."
This session will be for NEW DIRECTORS who have joined your board since the last required training in the fall of 2012. This will be a two-hour session from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Sandwiches will be served. There is no cost to attend.
Topics will include:
• Balance sheet and income statement basics
• What does 'off balance sheet' mean
• The importance of trend analysis (tables or graphs)
• Key financial ratios
• What does 'accrual accounting' mean
• Delinquency reporting
• What is the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses contra asset account and how is it related to the Provision for Loan and Lease expense
• NCUA 5300 quarterly reports
• Budgeting and ALM basics
• The risks: credit, liquidity, interest rate, compliance, strategic, transaction, and reputation
• Peer analysis
• Internal controls
• Asking the right questions
The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the implementing regulation, Regulation Z, is a significant part of lending compliance. This session will be an introduction to TILA and Regulation Z, covering definitions, open-end loan disclosure requirements, closed-end loan disclosure requirements, as well as the special requirements for mortgages and credit cards. Attendees will learn the basics about compliance with this significant lending law.
The webinar will be followed by an 'open discussion' at the conclusion of the program.

Workshop Leader:
John Collins
Alloya Corporate FCU
Taking risk, and balancing it with returns, is one of the most fundamental things
all financial institutions – including credit unions – do. While all organizations understand that balancing risk versus return is vitally important, few evaluate risk as a whole across their organization. Understanding systemic risk and how it can be mitigated allows organizations to better manage this critical process.
The program will explore Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) through an interactive presentation and dialog. The morning session will cover the basics of what ERM is and why it is important to credit unions, the regulatory requirements surrounding ERM, and how some have implemented ERM in their organization. It will also cover policy, procedure and governance.
The afternoon session will review a model program and provide a template for attendees to develop ERM programs that can be tailored to their individual credit unions. Attendees will leave the session with the necessary tools to develop and implement an ERM program at their shop.
The program presented will address the following questions:
• What is ERM?
• Why is ERM important?
• Are there any regulatory requirements for ERM?
• What are people in the credit union industry doing for ERM?
• What would model ERM program look like?
• What would an ERM policy look like?
Sponsored by CUNA Mutual Group
Credit unions promote the economic well being of their members, especially those of modest means, through a system that is member-owned, volunteer-directed and not-for-profit.
The credit union mission has always been to ensure secure financial choices at lower costs for their members. That's why credit unions offer financial products that provide better returns on savings, reduced rates on loans and lower or no fees on services.
While credit unions are regulated by the federal and state governments, they are also governed by volunteer boards elected by their membership. Credit unions don't answer to stockholders, but to each of their 96 million members.
Credit unions invest in people by helping those who have been traditionally underserved by banks. Groups like seniors on fixed incomes, single working moms, minority communities needing greater community investment, and small business owners struggling to raise capital all rely on credit unions for important financial services at reasonable costs.
While the big banks have abandoned small businesses in droves because they just can't make enough money, credit unions promote their small business members in a struggling economy by providing low cost credit alternatives. This credit union investment means millions of jobs across America.
Unfortunately, the big banks and some in Congress want to raise taxes and impose new fees on 96 million credit union members who represent 40% of all Americans, yet represent only 6% of the assets in financial institutions. And, they want to do this despite the fact that credit unions are not-for-profit and meeting their core mission every day.
That's wrong and will imperil the credit union movement that so many have come to depend on for real financial choice.
Don't let Congress raise taxes on 96 million credit union members. Don't let Congress eliminate real financial choice. Don't let Congress destroy our credit unions.

Love It I just ordered this and love it. I just printed with only the first initial and looks awesome. The print is pretty big for the area. The brown is a dark chocolate brown and gorgeous color. Definitely recommend it to any everyone. I hope my bridesmaids like them. I'm considering order one for myself. December 2, 2010
Nice I ordered these for my bridesmaids, they are really nice. I ordered them in red and please note that it is really red, fire engine red. So if I could do it again I would purchase them in another color. Also, some of the bridesmaids don't have a middle initial so their 2 initials are the same size whereas the 3 initials make the middle initial larger than the rest. I actually prefer the 2 initial monograms over the 3 initial monogram--see pics. Very nice but I thought I'd give some advice for ppl moving forward :) September 17, 2010
Very Nice I bought several of these for my bridesmaids. I think they are so cute. I hope they like them............ August 22, 2010
