The coveted KW DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) is now available for the first-gen Audi TT as well as select VW and BMW applications. The DDC allow users to control the ride quality remotely from their Apple device using three designated settings: Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus. KW offers two versions of the DDC coilover kits, including a Plug-&-Play system to replace factory OEM electronic damper systems, or the KW DDC ECU, which is retrofitted to your vehicle and utilizes an illuminated dash-mounted button to switch between settings, or uses the DDC app on your Apple device.
Now available for your Mk6 Golf TDI, the Banks Monster Exhaust System is a good option if you're looking to spice up your diesel-sipper and, of course, increase performance as well. With 2.25" diameter piping throughout, the exhaust is said to almost completely eliminate back pressure, freeing horsepower, response and flow, while netting better gas mileage and cooling. Aside from the obvious, your TDI will finally have a more sinister growl, and the look of the polished oval tip doesn't hurt, either.
Clean, polish and protect any bare metal surface with Mothers California Gold liquid metal polish. No matter if it's aluminum, billet, stainless steel, nickel or brass, this magic concoction will make it gleam. You can get the job done with an applicator or even the Mothers Powerball.
Over the last two years, V-maxx has been rigorously testing its new big brake kits to ensure the best possible performance, safety and to meet strict TüV approval. Being approved is no easy task, so you can be confident in the quality of these stoppers.
With three sizes available – 295mm, 330mm and 350mm – all utilizing two-piece floating rotors and four-piston calipers, V-maxx has you covered. And if you're feeling more track than street, you can opt for Ferodo track pads and stainless steel braided lines. While the range is still growing to cover all the Euro bases, these kits are currently available for Audi, BMW and VW, with Mini and Fiat in development.
Gearheads are always looking to give their garage more personality, and the collaboration between Snap-on and Rogue Status will do just that. The tool storage system has urban-themed graphics and intense colors, that go to show you can have more attitude from your toolbox.
Tires are important to any performance-minded driver, and Toyo has introduced the Proxes 4 Plus, labeled as the ultimate high-performance all-weather tires. Since it's best to be prepared for random shifts inweather, while still being able to lay down competitive track times, the new covers have been designed with high-powered sports cars in mind. If you're unsure about what tires to buy, consider thatToyo provides a 50,000-mile warranty and a 45-day, 500-mile trial offer.
Popular among BMW enthusiasts, the two- and four-door variants of the E46 325i and 330i still offer plenty of tuning opportunities. Proving this, the new aFe Power Mach Force exhaust system produces a claimed 13hp and 15 lb-ft. Constructed from MIG-welded, 2.25" mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel and finished with 304 dual-walled stainless steel tips, the aFe system is a true dual-in and dual-out exhaust, said to produce quality gains and a wonderful tone.
Looking to plant newfound horsepower and torque to the tarmac? ECS Tuning has released its RA4 lightweight flywheel and performance clutch kits for the B5/B6 Audi A4 1.8T. The flywheel has been on the Atkins diet, shedding more than half the weight of the stock part, coming in at 12 lb. Translation: it's like finding extra power off the line. Combined with an oversized clutch with sprung-hub discs, and you have a great package for freeway jams or unbridled performance at the track.

Rice's Blunt Style Endeared Her to President, but Not All
Essential Reads
For President Obama, the decision to forgo the fight to make Susan E. Rice his secretary of state was a deeply painful one. It required publicly abandoning one of his most loyal aides, who had broken with the Democratic foreign policy establishment early to side with his improbable candidacy, and whose blunt-speaking style — which helped cost her the job — had always been, for Mr. Obama, a part of her appeal.

Maverick's Purse Now At $150K - Which Day Will it Be?
With a monster low-pressure swirl rolling towards the West Coast, it looks like Mavericks could make a run of it either Friday or Saturday. Forecasters are predicting swell in the 8-12 foot range, which isn't quite as big as last year, but still a good size for paddle-in surfers. And with the announcement that purse is the biggest in big-wave history - at $150K - we're all anxiously awaiting the announcement of when the games will begin.
On Monday, last year's Maverick's winner, Greg Long, told Surfermag.com, " As of right now, what I've heard about Mavericks is that they're 70 percent sure it's going to go on either Friday or Saturday, but it seemed like they were leaning toward Friday. But again, they need to get more information about what the swell is really doing."
Surfline.com's Kevin Walls is hedging similarly, "For the Mav's contest, it looks like Saturday could certainly be the day -- with possible secondary options occurring on the following days, dependent upon the storm's behavior in the next 48 hours. While it won't be a giant swell, it will offer good size paddle surf along with excellent conditions and favorable tides, staying fairly low throughout the day."
Maverick's website hasn't commented on the status of the competition, but the waiting period officially began on January 7th with the opening ceremony. The surfers have been selected and drawn for the first 4 heats. So there's not much to do now, but wait and watch.

December 20, 2013, 2:34 AM — Spain's data protection authority has fined Google €900,000 (US$1.2 million) and ordered the company to fall in line with the country's data protection rules without delay.
The Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), said Thursday that Google does not provide users enough information about the personal information it collects, and the purposes it uses it for. It also objects to Google combining data gathered from its various services in violation of local laws.
The Internet company does not, for example, inform Gmail users that the content of mails and attached files are filtered to insert tailored advertising, AEPD said.
Google is also said to keep the data for periods longer than permitted under local data laws. The company was fined €300,000 for each of three violations, AEPD said.
"The combination of data collected through different services widely exceeds the reasonable expectations of the majority of users, who are not aware of it and lose control of their own personal information," AEPD said.
Google modified its privacy policy in March 2012, giving it the right to use personal data collected from one service on its other services as well, triggering criticism from privacy experts.
The investigation carried out by the AEPD has shown that Google illegally collects and processes personal information of both authenticated users, who have logged in with their Google accounts, and non-authenticated users, as well as "passive users" who have not requested Google's services but access Web pages that include elements managed by the Internet company, the data protection authority said.
"Google collects personal information through nearly a hundred of services and products offered in Spain, in many cases not providing adequate information about what data is collected, what data is used for what purposes and without obtaining a valid consent of the data subjects," AEPD said.
Data protection authorities from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the U.K. said in April they will conduct formal investigations of Google's privacy policy, after the company rejected their requests that it reverse changes it made to the policy. French data protection agency Commission Nationale de L'Informatique et des Libertes (CNIL), which was leading the inquiry, had published in October 2012 a report, giving Google four months to comply with its recommendations. The company did not comply significantly with the recommendations, CNIL said.

Trachsel (1861–1929) was a lifelong friend of his fellow-countryman Ferdinand Hodler, and his landscapes show similarities to Hodler's work. However, in Trachsel's output there is a clear shift from concrete views and locations into landscapes of the imagination in which for instance the island theme so popular among the Symbolists is depicted in soft shimmering colours.
Trachsel studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva and at the École polytechnique fédérale in Zurich. He moved to Paris in 1882 to continue his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts. From 1889 he frequented symbolist circles in Paris, getting acquainted with Auguste Rodin, Eugène Carrière, Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine. In 1892 he exhibited at the Salon de la Rose + Croix with Félix Vallotton, Carlos Schwabe and Ferdinand Hodler.
Although he trained as an architect, the majority of his architectural work was unrealised, but his utopian visions formed an important contribution to symbolist thinking. In 1900 he abandoned his work as an architect to dedicate himself to writing and painting. In 1901, after exhibiting his 'Project for a Temple of Peace' at the Exposition Universelle of 1900, he left Paris for good to settle in Geneva. There he abandoned his metaphysical subjects and returned to painting from nature. Trachsel died in Geneva in 1929.

Here's my problem with Konerko -- he doesn't try anything different. Same stance, same swing, same result. His bat looks a lot slower. Yet his stance still has the bat angled at 2 o'clock. Why not start with the bat at 12 o'clock to see if that speeds it up? Why not do something? What do you think? -- Tim G, Bartlett
Any chance Ozzie will keep Paulie in the line-up but drop him a couple of spots in the batting order? It seems to me that, although Jim Thome has a great eye, teams are pitching around him in key situations to get to Paulie, usually getting their desired result (a popout or double play). Your thoughts? Also, given Nick Masset's poor showing last night in a mop-up (low pressure) situation, will we see more of Carrasco or Russell? -- HeGone915, Schaumburg
Can someone please have a heart-to-heart talk with Konerko and try to convince him that his skills are gone and he needs to stop playing and hurting this team? Yes he's had some good years and we might not have won in 2005 without him, but 2005 is fading into the distance. It's time to say thanks for all you did, have a nice life and here's your statue. Come back and visit once in a while. -- Jim McLaughlin, Chicago
Mark, it's plainly OBVIOUS that Paul Konerko is not doing well this year. Everyone agrees that he is a great guy and did a lot for us in 2005. However, a lot of guys from 2005 are gone and Paulie continues to pop out and hit into double plays. On any other team he would have been benched back in June (maybe even May). Why are they keeping him in? Why are they defending him saying "he will come out of it." He won't, it's been 2 seasons. -- Jennifer, Chicago
Let's move from the real world to the hypothetical for the sake of this question. Konerko has been in a hitting slump for approximately 2½ seasons. We've seen evidence of slower bat speed, whiffing at more pitches, and poor results when contact is made. If/when he runs, it is hard to imagine anyone in the bigs being slower. He has hurt more than helped this team since the magic 2005 season. When should he have been traded to avoid all this? Before the big contract? Certainly, LA was interested in him two seasons ago. Why didn't the Chicago baseball analysts-writers identify this fall-off and risk before it mushroomed into zero offensive production? Only the hard-core Sox fans were seemingly willing to admit this guy was burn-out city. -- Jimmy, Dundee
Aren't the players' values in MLB much like individual stock values in the equities markets? In other words, buy low and sell high is a prevailing maxim in both markets? Why haven't the Sox applied that measure more astutely in recent years to avoid depleting their farm system of talent? Weren't they supposed to trade players like Konerko, Crede, Buehrle, etc., at or near peak performance years to get young talent and multiple prospects for the farm system? Instead, they've seemingly unloaded young prospects for established talent who are coming off bad years or who are known to be on the decline. Be honest. What's your assessment of how Kenny has performed in this regard? -- Terry, Hoffman Estates
I have two questions and a comment. How many games are the Sox on pace of winning this year and what is Konerko's attitude in the clubhouse after a tough game for him? Because he is my favorite player on the Sox and watching him struggle like he is hurts me and I'm sure a lot of White Sox fans as well, I still think he can help going into September. -- James, Elk Grove
Mark - I expect that you are all over Paul Konerko's situation. Please enlighten me. Are his mechanics at bat different. Is it a lingering injury that is bothering him? What is different (aside from results) from past years? Thanks. -- Hank Balikov, Marlton, N.J.
Dear Mark, I've always been a fan of Konerko, but at some point you have to say enough! Do they keep records for lowest percentage of baserunners driven in? I think Paulie has to be close to the record. Ozzie says that Swisher isn't much better, but you wouldn't be replacing Konerko with Swisher, you would be putting in DeWise in center, or Uribe (ugh!) at second and Ramirez to center -- BUT no one on the team has left a larger percentage of baserunners stranded or has stopped more rallies. Doesn't Konerko care enough about the team to tell Ozzie to sit him down for at least a while, giving him a chance to figure out his stroke without hurting the team every night. Then all we need is Thome to figure out how to hit a ball to left field..... -- Ronald Reichman, Los Angeles
First things first. I see Paul using the same batting stance because that's the one he's most comfortable with and has used for several years. He could try to bring his bat closer and lower to get around quicker on fastballs, but a baffled scout told me last week that Konerko was late on every pitch.
As far as his placement in the lineup, Ozzie has stuck with an alignment in which left-handers and right-handers alternate. I don't see Paul walking away because he has too much pride and wants to salvage this season and perform well in the final two years of his contract. Remember that the Sox elected to put contract talks on hold before the 2005 season. Paul performed like a championship player in the second half and in the playoffs, so he earned himself an extra two years and an extra $24-30 million.
I asked Paul point-blank in Minnesota if he was healthy, and he responded that he was, so we'll have to trust him. His value obviously has diminished, but he has no-trade rights. I see him accepting a trade only to the West Coast if it gets to that point, but I don't see Ken Williams seeking to trade him.
As Ozzie pointed out in Kansas City, Paul's teammates are pulling hard for him to succeed, and his home run Tuesday night enabled the Sox to get within striking distance.
Has there been any progress with Mike MacDougal down in Charlotte? Any reports he might still help the club this year or is he destined to be the highest paid pitcher in AAA? -- Senor Sock, Sherman Oaks, Calif.
I placed a call to his agent's office in May to confirm a tip that I got from a clubhouse source that Mike had sought a trade. That telephone call wasn't returned.
Mark, Last year the future of the Sox was in the hands of Jerry Owens, Josh Fields and Danny Richar. Any update on those guys? Will we see them during September? -- Remberto Chicago
Danny is in the Cincinnati organization as a part of the Griffey trade. Owens probably will be up in September. Fields was called up when Joe Crede went on the DL and, if he is sent down whenever Crede returns, should be with the team in September as well.
Is Gordon Beckham going to be signing soon? How many of the draft picks have the Sox signed this year? -- Logan, Chesterfield, Mo.
Is everything all right with the Gordon Beckham negotiations or is he looking to go the way of Bobby Seay, Jeff Weaver, and J.D. Drew and hold out another year so that he can get the "real" money? -- John Fitch, Cary

Earlier this week, Robert Downey Jr teased a a surprise! Naturally, I, like everyone else on the Internet, immediately jumped to the conclusion that we were about to see a trailer for The Avengers 2!
Judging by reactions, David Dobkins The Judge generated both praise and mild scorn, but justified its presence with mega-wattage star power provided by the movies leads, Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall.
Scripted by Bill Dubuque, Nick Schenk, and David Seidler, the film centers on a big-city lawyer (Downey Jr.) who returns home after spending years away to attend his mother's funeral, but is shocked to learn that his father (Duvall), the local judge, is suspected of murdering her.
The Judge tells the story of a hot-shot lawyer (Downey Jr.) who returns to his hometown after being away for decades to attend his mother's funeral. When he arrives, however, he discovers that his estranged father, the local judge, is suspected of killing her.
the latest to join this already impressive cast is Law & Order: Criminal Intent star Vincent D'Onofrio, who has been steadily scoring film roles since the show drew to a close after ten seasons. He's set to play Downey's older brother with whom his character will reconnect while seeking to discover the truth about their mother's death.
Robert Downey Jr. had a very specific vision of who he wanted to play his father in the upcoming dramedy The Judge. Back in November of last year we learned that the Iron Man star was hoping that Jack Nicholson would be willing to the take the part...
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe Robert Downey Jr. has already had three actors play his dad - Gerard Sanders, John Slattery and Dominic Cooper - but for one of the star's next project he's looking for an actor who has won three Academy Awards. New reports say that Downey Jr. is now developing a new drama called The Judge to both act in and produce, and he's now he's trying to get Jack Nicholson to come aboard and play his father.
I'm not 100% sure how quickly this is going to head into production. While hiring a new writer is progress, the production schedule of Iron Man 3 and the rebirth of Dobkin's Arthur & Lancelot at Warner Bros. means that neither the star nor director will be available for the next few months. It's good to know that both of them have something in the pipeline, though.

Fourth Edition Strategy Guides
You may be aware that the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) recently released the 12th Edition Official Guide for GMAT Review to replace the previous 11th Edition book. This book is essential to GMAT preparation as it is the best source for practice given that all questions have appeared on past official exams. For this reason, Manhattan GMAT's curriculum is built around the Official Guide. Our team has just finished integrating the 12th Edition into our curriculum and we are proud to introduce our new Fourth Edition Strategy Guides.
What Has Changed?
The content included in the Fourth Edition Strategy Guides is very similar to the Third Edition with the key differences being the following:
- The Third Edition Guides are built around the 11th Edition Official Guide, while the Fourth Edition Guides are built around the 12th Edition Official Guide. This has required us to revise the problem sets at the end of each Manhattan GMAT Strategy Guide so the question numbers correspond to the appropriate problems in the new Official Guide.
Note that much of the 12th Edition is completely unchanged from the 11th Edition. Only 1/3 of the questions (approximately 300 problems) in the 12th Edition are new, but many have been reordered / renumbered. View Manhattan GMAT's in-depth examination of the 12th Edition.
- Additionally, in the Fourth Edition Manhattan GMAT Strategy Guides, the Advanced Content has been moved to the back of the books. We believe it is more appropriate for students to begin by learning the basics and then progress to the more advanced content when ready. It can be daunting to see some of the more complex content early on in your studies.
But I already have the Third Edition Guides. What do I do?
If you have the Third Edition Guides, but plan to use them in conjunction with the 12th Edition Official Guide, Manhattan GMAT has tailored Conversion Documents for each section of the Official Guide, which will make this process simple.

Running back Adrian Peterson was named the FedEx Ground Player of the Year today during a press conference at the Super Bowl. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was the FedEx Air player of the year.
FedEx will donate $25,000 to the Safe Kids USA chapter in Minneapolis in honor of Peterson.
Peterson became the first Vikings running back to lead the NFL in rushing with 1,760 yards this season. He rushed for 100-plus yards 10 times, which set a new team record.
Peterson also became the fifth player in NFL history to rush for 3,000 yards in his first two seasons. Peterson earned the FedEx Ground Player of the Week award three times this season.
Join Vikings beat writers Judd Zulgad and Chip Scoggins on a usually informative and often irreverent journey inside the Vikings.
Just like the NFL, Zulgad and Scoggins go at it all year long -- on and off the field.

Former President Jimmy Carter continues his aggressive support of the terrorist group Hamas, this time speaking at a fundraiser for a U.S.-based Hamas front group.
As President Obama ponders his options for executive action on immigration reform, a rationale has emerged for the defense of such action.
Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) has called for a congressional vote on U.S. military strikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
With the out-of-control illegal immigration crisis putting political pressure on the Obama administration to halt the flood of illegal aliens pouring across our borders, the administration seeks to use executive actions as its prime strategy. These actions include plans to defer the deportations of millions of people living in the United States illegally, as well as increasing the limits on legal immigration by making green cards available to hundreds of thousands of high-tech workers and relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
If former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was a weakened candidate in his failed campaign against primary opponent David Brat, it was surely not from hunger.

You're still struggling with the basic sketching.
A lot of your figures look of balance and are difficult to read = clean up your linework.
You're showing profiles only.
Show off your knowledge of perspective and volume.
Get your basic drawing and anatomy up to level first.
Your pics are too low resolution for a good evaluation.
Well, That is astonishing artwork.

Baby Vaughn: Failed Adoptions and False Choices
Guest blogger Robin Sax: Few people would disagree that abortion is one of the most hotly contested issues in our country. The passion from the pro-choice and pro-life camps is evident. From printed words to television screens, from debate podiums to our living rooms -- whenever the issue is even mildly discussed, tensions flare on both sides. Seldom is there an opportunity or an issue that bridges both viewpoints. But now we have one: the broken adoption system in the United States. That's because the right of a mother to choose (pro-choice) and the desire for the child to be born (pro-life) are both at play whenever a mother takes the adoption route.
According to the court documents posted at the Ohio Supreme Court that is not true. Do you have a link? I would be interested in reading GAL report. Also, in reading the court documents, there was never a PHD report done, only one that Mr. Vaughn said when they went to court to bar the birth father from having visitation. I am not a hearsay person..I deal with facts and from what was posted on the Ohio Courts website, the Vaughns are dragged this through numerous courts only to get the same result.
Rebecca, check out the disent in Caban v. Mohammed. Two supreme court justices talk about the possibility and scenario of a newborn adoption conflict. Both favor the mother. There has never been a new born adoption case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. This will be the first….
Have you read the Ohio court's arguments at all Josh Smith? There are two statues concerning consent to adoption - the one about supporting the mother during pregnancy only applies if the father has not made efforts to establish paternity. If the person disputing the adoption is a legal father rather then putative father, the adoption can only proceed without his consent if he didn't support the child for one year after being declared the legal father. The Ohio court does not support or agree with your belief that the status of putative father is frozen in time if the potential adopters can rush to the courthouse before a DNA test can be done.
Excellent article! Clearly a MOTHER has a right to the best interest for her child and she made that decision and to see Grayson today, it is obvious he has a blessed, loving home and family. Litigation is NOT support! I have yet to hear one comment about anything this "father" has tried to offer Grayson in 3 years other than having his lawyer file litigation! Meanwhile he has built an amazing life with his FAMILY and there is NOONE out there with any amount of love in their heart that could think taking a 3 year old from their parents (the only parents he knows) is going to do anything but harm him! The mother made a choice and had a right to do so! She could have chosen abortion, but she didn't she chose LIFE with the Vaughns….people that are showing everyone what it means to LOVE THEIR CHILD!!!
also Josh - dissent does not make law. When justices disagree, the decision of the majority is binding. Also good luck with this case at the US supreme court because there is little chance the court will even consider it.
Thank you Josh for finally posting something soo true! PLEASE lets stop talking about Rights….what about his responsibilities!? CLEARLY, if he were responsible he would have financially and emotionally supported the birth mother….that did NOT happen! Again, noone ever speaks about Grayson and his wellbeing other than the Vaughns and their supporters!! Why is that?
Rebecca, I don't disagree that the Ohio Supreme Court held in a split decision 4-3 that the status of a father can change. What I said is that the statutes clearly define that the definition of a putative father is any man that has not been DETERMINED PRIOR to the the filing of a petition for adoption to be the father of the child. The probate court identified Mr. Wyrembek as a putative father in the original adoption petition. Then he changed the status. This is a case of first impression and the justices changed the law as written. I guess Ohio judges are now lawmakers
***Clearly a MOTHER has a right to the best interest for her child***
A FATHER has the EXACT same right!
As for what the father has done, outside of fighting immediately for his child once he learned he was his and battling against a couple who have fought him in every way, I suggest you research the links that were left for the court papers that state the "facts" not the heresay.
In there you will find the many attempts the father has made to be a supportive part of his son's life, only to be denied by the Vaughns. And to this day, his son has been on his medical insurance since he was just an infant.
Be sure to read the official court documents all the way through - a long task, but well worth the effort - before declaring what you "know."
The Vaughns blocked him from forming a relationship with his child, ignored court orders for visitation while appeals were ongoing, delayed the DNA testing, etc etc. They didn't care about Grayson's best interests, all they cared about was themselves. If they cared they wouldn't have kept dragging this out and letting him get older and more attached as every single court continued to rule against them. The legal presumption is that it is in the best interests of a child to live with a fit biological parent. "Best interests" beyond that can only be found when the biological parents are both unfit or unwilling. You can't take a child from a fit biological parent just because the adopters have a nicer home, or let the child get attached while they purposely dragged out the court case. The legal precedent it would set would be atrocious and encourage even more people to do the same to guarantee adoption of a child whose father was unwilling to consent. And this father has been willing to have a relationship and resposibilities for his child since he was born. He wanted full custody and to fully support the child himself. The Vaughns selfishly blocked him from doing that. (and by the way, he sent birthday money to the Vaughns for Grayson, which was pretty generous since I wouldn't have trusted them with any money if they were unlawfully keeping my child from me!)
Mom of Three, I'm trying to find the link. The GAL reports were filed in the probate court and Juvenile Court in OH. The PHD report was filed in the OH juvenile court, the IN circuit court and IN supreme court.
The GAL and the PHD absolutely recommended the Vaughns. Not a lie.
Josh Smith - this is not the first time that ruling has been made in an Ohio adoption case. They were following a precedent from an earlier Ohio adoption case and agreed with that precedent. I believe the previous case In re adoption of Pushcar.
The facts of the matter are this…Benjamin KNEW that she was pregnant with HIS child. He CHOSE to not to "stick around" during her pregnancy and wanted nothing to do with the baby (Grayson)! Not until shortly after Grayson was home with the Vaughn's did he begin to file the suits to prove his paternity. This seems like a completely selfish act. Let's face it…those of us that have children…if you truly love your child, you will do what is "best" for your child, even if that means a lifetime of heartache for you. Grayson has been with the Vaughn's for 3 years of his life (all he has ever known). Benjamin should have let it go a long time ago! Grayson has a family. This isn't about the adults involved, but it's about an innocent 3 year old. Why can't people see this? Grayson is not some prize to be "won" as Mr. Wyremback seems to think. Being a "sperm donor" doesn't make you a father. And he is clearly NOT fit to be a father with an "assault and drug paraphenalia" criminal history. EXCELLENT ARTICLE!!!Come on people…WAKE UP!!!!!
Ali - what about the Vaughn's responsibilites? They knew within weeks of his birth that his father did not want to give him up for adoption, and that he was not made aware, during the pregnancy, that he was the biological father (stated in the court documents, which are the only facts I go by.) If they were so concerned about Grayson, why did they fight him, over and over again, in court battle after court battle (including the testing to prove he was Grayson's father- court documents) and go so far as to sue judges (again in court documents) who didn't agree with them so they could drag this out as long as possible on the hope that, as we've seen, the response would be "well they've had him for so long, they are the only family he's known."
They are the only family he's known because they have refused to return him to his father for almost three years now.
You can't play the sympathy card when the ones you are defending have fought for so long, in every way possible, to keep father and son apart.
You continue to unintentionally omit facts. The Vaughn's had custody of Grayson from September 11, 2009 to Sept 1, 2010. The Indiana court declared IN the home state of Grayson took jurisdiction and gave the Vaughn's custody. It wasn't until a year later that Indiana declared they made a "mistake" on taking jurisdiction. Since September 2 the Vaughns have been trying to get a transition plan established for the transfer. The courts order immediate return. Which I believe we can all agree would be determintal to the baby. The Vaughn's disobeyed the 1 day return order only to have IN and the Ohio Supreme Court issue stays on those ridiculous orders. After the transition plan was agreed too, the Vaughn's and Mr. Wyrembek have cooperated fully.
If they have been willing to agree to a transition plan, then how come the Ohio courts ruled that they refused to cooperate with the GAL about a transition plan? I think you are the one intentionally omitting facts here in order to justify kidnapping and stealing a child from his father. The Ohio custody order was always correct, Indiana choosing to ignore it didn't make it incorrect.
look at the court documents…. look at the timeline… the 24 hour surrender order only came AFTER both Indiana and Ohio courts agreed that the Vaughns and the adoption agency had refused to cooperate with the GAL's recommendations about a transition plan. The courts were, quite justifiably, fed up with the Vaughns ignoring their orders.
The public DOES NOT KNOW all of the facts involved here (nor should they, I suppose). Cassi…the Vaughn's ALSO knew how the birth father treated the birth mother during her pregnancy. WHY would you want to hand over the baby you just adopted to a man like that? Oh, and by the way, this birth father that everyone on here is so in favor of also REFUSED to take drug tests. Hmmmm…
Is there one single person who has read this article that actually CARES about this LITTLE BOY????? Listen to all of you. When you become a parent, you become selfless. If this sperm donor really cared about his son, and was actually selfless, he would LEAVE HIM ALONE. If he takes this child, he is KNOWINGLY causing life-long psychological damage from which the child will never recover. NEVER, people. Don't we have enough broken people in this world, you are all OK, with ruining this little boy's life????? Are you humans?? Do you have a heart?? THIS CHILD'S RIGHTS are more important than ANY OF THE ADULTS INVOLVED!!!!! Grow up, be adults, Support doing the RIGHT thing. This boy is not property. He is a human being!!!!!
The Vaughn's and the adoption agency attempted to contact the birthfather in the first 60 days. He wouldn't talk. Mr. Wyrembek never contacted the Vaughn's. Mr. Wyrembek never asked how his child was doing. If Grayson is on Mr. Wyrembek's insurance, Mr. Wyrembek never communicated that to the Vaughn's. As a father, I can't go a day without knowing how my child is doing. This birthfather didn't call for 35 months. No birthday cards, No presents, no letters……..especially with the statutes, as written, were on their side? The real question is why wouldn't Mr. Wyrembek send 10 dollars per month to help with diapers, medicine or toys.
Rebecca, you are correct about the case. Pushcar was a legal father case under ORC 3107.07(a) not a putative father case under 3107.07(b). It wasn't applied to putative fathers until this case.
Other children have been returned to their biological families at a similar age and suffered no long-term damage, are doing great, and are glad they were returned to their biological parents. Look up baby Jessica she is doing fantastic, she is an adult now, and never wants to see the potential adopters again.
Also your argument basically justifies kidnapping. Doesn't matter how you got a child, if you keep them long enough and are taking care of them ok then you keep the child forever regardless of what laws you broke. That's just not ok and would set a terrible precedent. It's in the best interests of ALL children that their relationships with their fit biological parents are protected by law and that people are not allowed to steal other people's children because they selfishly dragged it out in court long enough for the child to form a bond.

LR photojournalist: No. 1 in NOLA — First prize in photo shootout goes to local standout
Thu Nov 14 2013
HICKORY, N.C. — The image of a silver-painted man wearing jeweled clothing and clutching a trumpet on a New Orleans street corner earned top honors for an LR student at this year's National College Media Convention.
Tiffany Fields, a Lenoir-Rhyne University junior, took First Prize in this year's Photo Shootout contest in New Orleans.
Fields, 20, of Marion, and about 100 of her fellow college photojournalists took part in the Shootout. The theme was "All that jazz." The assignment: take a photo that captures the spirit of New Orleans by telling a complete story in a single image—and get it done in 48 hours.
The 79 entries included photos of subjects from street performers, artists and musicians to NOLA's flamboyant locals and tourists.
Fields shot more than 200 photos in search of a winning image but she came up empty with only a few hours to go before the contest deadline. She wasn't happy with her photographs and was having second thoughts about entering anything at all when she got the break she needed less than three hours before all entries were due.
Bo Battle, also known as Silver-Man, was sitting motionless at the corner of Decatur and St. Phillip deep in the heart of the French Quarter.
"He wouldn't move or speak unless you gave him money. I had to give him $1 or he wouldn't talk to me," Fields said. "He would talk for a minute then freeze again. I think it cost me $3 to get my shot."
Fields shot about 30 frames of Silver-Man in natural outdoor light at about 9 a.m. with her Nikon D5000. The only photo editing she did was to pump up the contrast. Light, composition, timing and skill did the rest.
The winners were announced Monday night.
"I was on the phone with one of my photographers from the student newspaper when I got the email on my phone," Fields said. "I screamed when I got the news—well, I squealed like a little 12-year-old girl actually."LRU News | No Comments

But seriously, folks. I really like that movie. This is another tribute to one of the greatest 80's movies out there. I took the entire trailer and rotoscoped it. Of course, this is only 7 seconds out of the whole trailer, and it doesn't have sound, but I'm still proud of it. It took me just forever. And unlike my other animations, this was animated at 12 frames per second instead of 24. I don't think it looks as good, personally, but, I started this monster, and I sure as heck am gonna finish it.
And if you think this is something, (and you probably don't) I'm also developing a music video for Frank Zappa's 24 minute epic, Billy the Mountain. That's gonna be a bitch.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars June 15, 2012
Please don't submit "7 seconds of the whole trailer." If it's too big and it's kicking your butt, then why waste effort on a trailer. Put that effort into the movie so you're not making double work for yourself.
As for thhis, 7 seconds of walking (in a loop!!) isn't What Newgrounds is about. This is a pointless flash, and if it passes, it'll be floating around Newgrounds forever, since you can't easily delete things here.
Well, sir, if you really feel that strongly about this, then I will not submit another movie until this 7 second clip turns into a 1:11 clip. And I will animate it day in, day out, for however long it takes me. If the finished product still doesn't meet your standards, then I don't know what will. Thanks for the feedback.

About meI am a formerly voracious reader who has become a stay-at-home mother of a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old and who therefore has much less time for reading adult books although I do read aloud to the children several times a day. I have a doctorate in cognitive psychology and am interested in how children learn, in particular how they learn math and science.
About my libraryThis started off being my daughter's library and became the kids' library. Daughter is now 7-and-three-quarters and son has just turned 4 so the rate at which short, easy chapter books are being added to the picture books has increased dramatically in the past year as she has evolved into a strong independent reader. This serves as reading diary as well as catalog so the 30-50 books/week that we check out of the library are the bulk of it. We tend to avoid purchasing books that drive us (me) batty to read aloud over and over and over again although some of those are certainly daughter favorites that get checked out of the library more than once. Her library at home is an eclectic mix of books she likes that we can stand.

I've really enjoyed viewing your library. I have learned about several books from your list that I am interested in reading and sharing with kids. I love that you catalog the books that you have at home and those that you borrow from the library. This is a great way to keep up with all that you and your daughter have shared together. What a wonderful idea!

Hello - you have a great collection with a lot of titles that are new to me. I've started putting together a library for my daughter who will be born in a few more weeks. Many people have let me know about the 'read it again' phase and I am trying to bear it in mind when I buy books. If you have any special recommendations, please let me know! Thanks.

Eliza and I both have mixed feelings about the Little House picture books - they didn't grab me, though she liked Dance at Grandpa's a little more. I'll have to look up the Bond-penned Paddington books. E recently turned 4, so we mostly read picture books with a few shorter chapter books thrown in (she's obsessed the American Girl shelf at the library), but I didn't know whether I should hold off on Charlotte's Web for another year - I'll start with the picture books to see if the characters appeal to her.

Hi there! I saw you recently added a Charlotte's Web picture book. I just put in an online library reserve for that and saw there was another in the series called Some Pig that came out last year.

I haven't really delved into Great Books for Boys. I went through and highlighted in it the books that are in my LT catalog (then went to tag them), but I haven't yet used the book to get new recommendations. I was really surprised about how many girl-centric stories there are in it; as far as that goes, I don't think this would be as good for boys as Great Books for Girls is for girls. I just ordered a used copy of Valerie & Walter's Best Books for Children (it was a wish list item) - it's "like new," so I'm hoping I get the 2nd edition.
As for Silvey's book, I can't recall whether I included the books in the back or not. I'll have to pull it off the shelf to see what I marked.
Currently, I'm slowly working my way through the NEA 100 list. The picture books are read-alouds for my daughter, but I'm also reading the children's/YA chapter books myself. I haven't had the energy to review them, but at least I've been rating so I'll know in the future whether they're worth checking out (or buying).

Hi Marie -
I went and combined our tags for Great Books for Babies and Toddlers. You can combine any tags by replacing XXX with the tag name, putting + for the spaces, so I did http://www.librarything.com/combinetags_combine.php?tag1=great+books+for+babies&.... I hope no one uncombines them since they refer to the same book.
I got so many good ideas from that book. Now we've moved on to the book lists for kids (esp. girls) ages 2+ or 3+, but I'm limited in what I can get from those because they tend to go through preteen and teen years - although, I've been known to read older children's and young adult fiction. ;) They show up on my books about books tag.
I also get a lot of ideas from blogs. On my left blog sidebar are a few links to bloggers who write about children's books often. Jenny of Wildwood Cottage has a daughter between the ages of mine and yours, and she has so many wonderful suggestions.
I really need to start writing reviews again. I was doing so well for a couple weeks then fell off the wagon when life got too stressful, but I'm hoping I'll be able to start again soon.

I just wanted to say I've enjoyed so much browsing your daughter's library. My daughter is probably a year older, I'd guess. Mostly she likes to be read longer picture books these days, but we still keep out her board books - Jamberry has to have the catchiest rhyme of them all. Sylvia Long is fantastic - her Mother Goose is my favorite. You write such good comments; would you consider putting some in the review field?

Appendix B - NFPA Label Information
Workplace Labels & NFPA Hazard Rating
As allowed under the HazCom program (GHS rev 2012), NMSU uses a workplace label scheme
incorporating the NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) rating
This system uses an a diamond-shaped diagram of
symbols and numbers to indicate the degree of hazard associated with a particular chemical
or material. These diamond- shaped symbols are placed on containers of chemicals or
materials to identify the degree of hazard associated with the chemical or material.
The diagram identifies three color-coded categories
of hazard for each material:
health hazard (blue
flammability (red
reactivity (yellow sections), and
other hazard information (white section).
Each category is divided in five levels of hazard
potential with
The degrees of hazard in each of these categories are
given as follows:
The degree of health hazard
of a chemical or material is based on the form or condition of the material, as well as
its inherent properties (NFPA
ratings).. The degree of health hazard of a material should indicate
the degree of personal protective equipment required for working safety with the material:
The flammability
hazards deal with the degree of susceptibility of the material to ignite and burn.
The form or condition of the materials, as well as their properties, affects the extent of
the hazard. Many hazardous materials such as acetone and gasoline, have a flash
point (ignition temperature) far below freezing and will readily ignite with a spark if
the vapor concentration is sufficient. A low rating of 1 is for material
with a flash point above 200F while more hazardous ratings of 2,
3, and 4 are for materials with respective flash point below 200, 100 and
The reactivity hazards
deal with the potential of a material or chemical to release energy. Some materials
are capable of rapid release of energy without any catalyst, while others can undergo
violent eruptive or explosive reactions if they come in contact with water or other
materials. Generally this rating is used to indicate the potential to reactive if
the material is heated, jarred, or shocked.. A low rating of 1 indicates
a material that is normally stable but may be reactive if heated.
The more hazardous ratings of 2, 3, and 4 indicate a material is
capable of violent reaction, shock/rapid heating and detonation respectively (NFPA
Other Hazard Information
An open space at the bottom of the NFPA diagram can be used to indicate additional
information about the chemical or material. This information may include the
chemical or material's radioactivity, proper fire extinguishing agent, skin hazard, its
use in pressurized containers, protective equipment required, or unusual reactivity with
water. For example, the usual signal to indicate unusual reactivity with water is
the letter "W" with a long line through the center. Similarly
the words ACID, COR (corrosive), RAD (radiation), OXY
(oxidizer), Rad (radioactive), CARC (carcinogen) or other abbreviations may be used.
The following shows a summary of the NFPA
rating system used for labeling secondary containers of chemicals. (Click the image for a
screen size printable label)
ratings for common chemicals
Fueling Stations & Bulk Product Storage
Per OSHA & NMSU HazCom Policy, the above ground fuel stations
and bulk product storage units are secondary containers and shall be labeled
with workplace
labels. At a minimum they are to be labeled/signed with
1) compound/fuel name for the contents and2) rating for the contents for health (blue), fire (red) and reactivity (yellow)
1) compound/fuel name for the contents and2) rating for the contents for health (blue), fire (red) and reactivity (yellow)
Typical signs with compound/fuel name & UN number are shown below (UN number is
The main part of the sign is the NFPA diamond, a four section multicolor diamond
shape used to indicate the health, flammability, instability and related hazards
presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material during a fire, spill or
other emergency-related condition.
More information on the HazCom workplace
labels & NFPA704 is available under CHEMICAL SAFETY PROGRAMS on the Safety
website at http://safety.nmsu.edu/programs/chem_safety/
Lettering & Sign Size:
In order for the numbers on Fueling Stations & Bulk Product Storage to be visible from a minimum distance of 50 -100 ft,
the numbers & letters should be at least 1-2 inches high (see chart below).
Sign size will depend on the lettering and hazard but EH&S recommends minimum of
12" by 12" sign area.

|So does Darryl. We love each other; we always will. And that's why we don't mind having a little fun with someone else from time to time." Claire's face was turning red, as she was clearly flustered about Sylvia's revelation. "I... I," Claire spoke, still in shock. "You've never been with another woman, have you Claire?" Sylvia asked shamelessly. "No, not really," Claire replied. "Not really?" Sylvia asked. "Oooh, I like the sound of that. Pray tell me more." "Just something that happened with a girl friend when ...

It was Claire. "Hi dear," Sylvia said, "it's nice to hear from you again." They spent the next few minutes catching up on lost time, and Claire told Sylvia that she and Jerry had gotten a divorce. "I'm sorry to hear that Claire, really I am," Sylvia said. "As much as I didn't think you two were right for each other I'd hoped you might find a way to work things out." "Thanks Sylvia," Claire replied, "but it was only a formality at this point. I think I knew it was over with Jerry a long time ago, and I think he felt the same ...

Gently inserting my right index finger into her sopping hole. I could hear the women moaning and panting and, looking up, saw that Susan was sucking one of Linda's magnificent nipples while she herself sucked the other one. Susan's left hand was rubbing furiously at Linda's cunt, occasionally she would bring her fingers to her lips and lick them clean, then Linda would kiss her to get at her own taste. "Fuck me Andy, fuck me now, please, I don't want to wait any longer!" Susan cried. I looked at Linda and she winked at me. I knelt between Susan's widespread thighs and took my steel ...

Audience at Oakland's Internet Cat Video Festival Agrees That Cats Are Awesome
by Aaron Mendelson
Thousands of cat lovers attended Oakland's first-ever Internet Cat Video Festival on Saturday, crowding into four blocked-off streets in the Uptown area. The all-day event celebrated everything feline, with cat adoptions, cat art, a cat photo booth, aerial acrobatics and live music. Organizers said more than 6,000 people attended.
The main event was a 70-minute loop of cat videos, projected onto the Great Wall of Oakland. As the sun set, the audience gazed up at the exploits of confused, crazed and cute cats, laughing along with the videos. The clips were blown up to fill the Great Wall's 100-by-100-foot surface.
The cat videos were curated by Scott Stulen of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. A Walker cat video event last August drew nearly 11,000 fans. Stulen is taking the festival on the road; he said the Oakland event was the second-largest he's seen.
Stulen emphasized the "social aspect" of the festival. "How this whole festival came about was: What would happen when you basically took the Internet offline?" he said. "And instead of watching these videos alone on your phone or your computer, what if we had thousands of people together to watch them?"
There's partisan politics and so much fragmentation in our country right now. But cat videos seem to be something we can all … get behind."
The event was a benefit for the East Bay SPCA, a cat rescue organization. Phyllis Meyer was volunteering with the SPCA on Saturday and said the organization had already adopted three cats by 5 p.m. The SPCA's kittens were sprawled out in their cages, exhausted from the attention they had received. "We've had a big crowd," Meyer said. "They're very tired now, they've been on display all day. People find the kittens especially quite irresistible."
Cat T-shirts, cat face paintings and cat costumes far outnumbered actual cats at the festival. Miguel Solari was wearing a "cat onesie" on Saturday. "I'm glad to see there's other people who share the same enthusiasm about cuteness of cats," he said. Solari's favorite cat video, he said, is a video he shot himself of an ex-girlfriend's dazed cat, Spaghetti. He fed the cat Transcendental Moonbeam Catnip, and filmed the results. "It just sparked; within a few months it had like 10,000 hits and it just kept growing."
The Great Wall's Jessica Worchel said that cat videos bring people together. "There's partisan politics and so much fragmentation in our country right now. But cat videos seem to be something we can all support and get behind," she said.
Scott Stulen put it differently, speaking to the thousands of cat lovers gathered in front of the Great Wall. "This isn't just about watching Internet cat videos," Stulen said. "It's about watching Internet cat videos together."
Organizers hope to make Oakland's Online Cat Video Festival an annual celebration.Related

It's been 96 days since Tunisian fruit vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in protest after his cart was seized by authorities. The Guardian has an interactive timeline tracking the protests, which have since spread throughout the Middle East and north Africa.
The coalition enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya is beginning to fray, as members continue to negotiate over the leadership of the campaign, despite the fact that missile and air strikes began on Saturday. Britain and Italy want NATO command, France and Turkey feel NATO sends the wrong message to the Muslim world and the U.S. just wants to scale back its involvement as quickly as possible.
Airstrikes continue against Kadafi's forces, most recently in Misurata where his forces have reportedly pulled back while keeping snipers on rooftops, according to residents. Kadafi also made his first public appearance since airstrikes began in an address in Tripoli on Tuesday night.
The rebels, meanwhile have formed an "interim government." For the latest updates, follow the Libya live blogs by The Guardian or Al Jazeera.
At least four and as many as six people were killed when Syrian special forces launched an early-morning raid on a mosque in the city of Daraa, the center of anti-government protests. At least 10 have died following a government crackdown on protests for more political freedom and the release of dissidents. The Assad family has been in control of Syria since 1971.
Israel / West Bank / Gaza
A bomb exploded at a bus stop in central Jerusalem Wednesday morning, wounding at least 25 people. It was the city's first bus bombing in several years. In Gaza, militants fired rockets into southern Israel, continuing an ongoing exchange of rocket and mortar fire at the border, which killed four in Gaza a day earlier.
Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh said on Tuesday he would step down before his term ends in 2013. He originally rejected the same offer two weeks earlier, before at least 50 demonstrators were killed and hundreds injured when security forces closed in on protesters Friday. This follows the sacking of the president's cabinet on Sunday, members of which were already expected to resign over the violent crackdown. If Saleh resigns, however, some, including the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, worry about what would come next.
Saudi Arabia
The government announced that it would hold municipal elections — the second ever in the country — on April 23. Women will not be allowed to vote.
The Bahraini government tore down the central monument of Pearl Square on Friday, after a crackdown on protesters and arrest of opposition figures. The protesters had used the square as a rallying point.
