A gauge designed to predict the economy's health posted a solid gain in April, further evidence of stronger growth after a severe winter dampened activity.
The Conference Board said Thursday that its index of leading indicators increased 0.4 percent in April after an upwardly revised 1 percent gain in March. The strength in April was led by improving conditions in the housing and financial markets.
Despite a brutal winter which brought the economy to a halt, the overall trend in the leading economic index has remained positive, Conference Board economist Ken Goldstein said. He said stronger spending by consumers and higher business investment to bolster growth in coming months.
The economy grew at a barely discernible 0.1 percent rate in the January-March quarter, but many analysts expect growth will bounce back to an annual rate of more than 3.5 percent in the current quarter.
NYSE chief exits as ICE integration proceeds
Citing a rapid integration with the IntercontinentalExchange Group, Duncan Niederauer stepped down Thursday as CEO of the New York Stock Exchange.
Niederauer had been expected to stay until the end of the year.
ICE, the futures exchange based in Atlanta, closed on its acquisition of the NYSE in November for about $8 billion.
Thomas Farley, NYSE's chief operating officer, will succeed Niederauer, taking the title of president of the NYSE Group.
Niederauer, 54, served as CEO of NYSE Euronext, the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, from 2007 through late 2013. He will continue as president of ICE through Aug. 2, the company said.
Ragu, Bertolli bring Unilever $2.15 billion
Unilever PLC says it has agreed to sell ownership of its Ragu and Bertolli brand sauces in North America to Japan's Mizkan Group for $2.15 billion.
Ragu is the best-selling pasta sauce in the United States. Unilever said Thursday that the two businesses have combined annual sales of $600 million.
The deal includes ownership of two factories: a sauce processing and packaging facility in Owensboro, Kentucky, and a tomato processing plant in Stockton, California.
Mizkan is a privately held maker of condiments and sauces that started as a rice vinegar maker in central Japan more than 200 years ago.
It is seeking to expand its international businesses to counterbalance poor prospects in its domestic market because of Japan's aging population.
Unilever said the deal will close in June.
Jobless aid requests rise, but low overall
The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits jumped last week, but it remained at a low level that suggests hiring should remain steady.
Applications rose 28,000 to a seasonally adjusted 326,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.
The increase comes after applications fell to their lowest level since May 2007 two weeks ago.
The four-week average, a less-volatile measure, dipped 1,000 to 322,500. The average reached a seven-year low of 312,000 last month.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs, so the low levels suggest that companies are cutting few jobs.
The number of people receiving benefits fell to 2.65 million, the fewest since Dec. 1, 2007, when the recession began.

I love writing fast-paced thrillers. Readers have, thankfully, compared my works to Vince Flynn, Lee Child, and Stephen Hunter — three of my favorite authors.
To date, I've published four books. (With about 30 in various stages, but you know how that goes…)
"Sold Out (Nick Woods, No. 1)" tracks the life of legendary Marine Sniper Nick Woods after a CIA unit decides to kill him for reasons of national security.
"Mexican Heat (Nick Woods, No. 2)" follows Nick Woods as he's recalled into service in hopes of preventing the entire collapse of the Mexican government.
"Little Man, and the Dixon County War" tells the uphill fight a young deputy faces after surviving three years of war only to find himself in the sights of a mighty cattle baron.
And, "Soldier On," a short novel, follows the lives of several German soldiers in a depleted infantry company trying to make it through the final, miserable months of World War II.
Read on below for more information about each of them.
"Sold Out (Nick Woods, No. 1)"
Nick Woods used to be one of our country's greatest snipers, but now he's just a bitter veteran living out in the country, struggling with PTSD and extreme paranoia.
The former Marine Scout Sniper doesn't trust anyone, and for good reason after the government betrayed him.
Nick did his part and completed the top-secret mission, but a few members of the CIA thought it best if he were killed and all loose ends tied up.
Unfortunately for them, Nick's a hard man to kill, and he lives mostly off the grid under a hidden identity these days.
But Nick is about to get caught in a grand conspiracy between a senior investigative reporter and a shadowy, CIA group.
After said reporter, Allen Green, breaks the details of Nick's story — blowing the top off America's national security — both Nick and Allen find themselves in the sights of a CIA hunter-killer group.
This CIA group breaks the law and kills at will, and they'll stop at nothing to take down the war hero Nick Woods and the dangerous, tenacious reporter who published the earth-shattering story he'd been chasing for years.
But is it possible that the CIA has met its match against this unlikely duo? [Length: 283 pages]

Mexican Heat (Nick Woods, No. 2)
Nick Woods is tired of waiting. America's greatest sniper has spent the better part of two years up in the mountains of Montana, waiting for the government to come after him.
He has good reason to be wary. The government has betrayed him twice already, but Nick's a hard man to kill.
Unfortunately, just waiting in isolation, with his wife Anne gone, and his paranoia at dangerous levels, is killing him, day-by-day.
And so Nick ventures out. Carefully, like Nick does everything.
But what Nick doesn't know is that the Mexican government stands on the verge of complete collapse.
A brilliant madman has united the drug cartels into a deadly alliance, and the Mexican President holds a perilous grip on power.
Now, Mexico's leading businessman — a multi-billionaire who owns much of the country — is about to flee the country, selling off his businesses and taking his capital with him, as well.
Such a move would lead to an exodus of other businesses and within just a few months, America would face one of its largest catastrophes in recent times: a third world country on its borders, run by a drug cartel whose reach spans from South America into deep within the United States.
America has already sent special forces to deal with this cartel, but that proved a catastrophe.
The country needs Nick Woods again, and it needs him now. [Length: 527 pages]

"Little Man, and the Dixon County War"
Paul Zachary shouldn't have accepted that badge. And he certainly shouldn't have shot down a ruthless gun fighter in front of a crowd of onlookers at Belleville's busiest saloon.
Now that the smell of gunpowder has faded and the blood has been scrubbed off the floor, Zachary is something he never wanted to be: a damned hero.
Zachary has been written up in newspapers across the state and has more trouble on his hands than any 27-year-old man should — especially a short, baby-faced Civil War veteran who's just survived three long, hard years in a Rebel cavalry troop charged with raiding Northern towns.
Zachary's only desire is to outlive his family's violent reputation for service and sacrifice. But the trouble of being a big-time hero and having a target on his back pales in comparison to what happens next: An evil cattle baron has set his sights on Zachary… [Length: 262 pages]

As World War II enters its final stretch, the last elements of the German Army struggle to survive and end the war with honor.
The German soldiers know the war is lost, but have no idea how many days (or weeks) remain before capitulation. The weak and unlucky are gone. Now, only the strong remain, a ragged band of men determined to maintain their prestige and respect. They are the sons of indomitable veterans from World War I — men filled with too much pride to quit or surrender.
But food resupply is a problem. Ammo, too. And each day,with its increasingly absurd set of orders, begins to test the men in ways they could have never imagined. These days are tough for the men, and tougher for the leaders.
Hemmed in by Nazi SS units waiting to arrest or shoot retreating troops on one side and hordes of well-supplied American troops advancing mercilessly on the other, the men pray they must only endure the freezing weather of the last days. And that their supplies won't run out. And that they won't lose the honor and dignity they've spent years creating.
"Soldier On" is a short novel. [Approximately 61 pages long.]

This VA website has additional information on Agent Orange as well as other information.
Oct. 16, 2009
The department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Eric Shinseki announced a decision to establish a presumptive service-connection for Vietnam veterans who have B cell leukemia, Parkinson's disease or ischemic heart disease. These diseases are all related to exposure to Agent Orange, a herbicide used in Vietnam. Secretary Shinseki's decision was based upon the recently released Institute of Medicine (IOM) report that was mentioned in the July 31, 2009 edition of Newsbytes.
FRA is advocating for a broader Agent Orange service-connection, and this announcement is a major step in the right direction. Many Navy veterans who served off the coast of Vietnam, so-called "blue water" veterans, have health problems frequently associated with herbicide exposure, but have endured lengthy legal struggles to prove these problems are service-related. The Association has repeatedly pushed for a legislative remedy (UR2254) and has referenced this issue as a priority for 2009 during the military and veterans' service organization meetings with the House and Senate VA committees.

Study on Agent Orange Supports Blue Water Navy Coverage
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recently released the "Veterans and Agent Orange: Health Effects of Herbicides Used in Vietnam (VAO)" report that recommends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) change its definition of Vietnam service. Evidence referenced included a study conducted by the Royal Australian Navy, which supports a broader definition. The report recommends that members of the Blue Water Navy be included in "the set of Vietnam-era veterans with presumed exposure." FRA has long opposed the VA's current restrictive policy of "boots on the ground" for granting veterans for service connected disorders under the presumptive classification of herbicide exposure. Members are urged to go to the FRA Action Center (www.fra.org) to ask their US Representative to support H.R. 2254, sponsored by Rep. Bob Filner (Calif.) that will reverse the VA's decision that prevents the "Blue Water Navy" military retirees and veterans from claiming presumptive status for the diseases associated with Agent Orange exposure.

Bill Introduced to Benefit Veterans Exposed to Toxins
Rep. Bob Filner (Calif.), chairman of the House Veterans Affairs (VA) Committee, introduced a measure (H.R. 2254) that would authorize VA medical care to veterans exposed to toxins during the Vietnam and Gulf War eras. Although the text of the bill is not yet available, FRA has learned that veterans who served in the surrounding waters off the coast of Vietnam and in the skies above will be allowed to file a claim for exposure to Agent Orange if the measure is enacted. (The VA currently only acknowledges service-connection for vets who served within the borders of Vietnam.) Members are urged to use the FRA Action Center at www.fra.org to ask their representative to co-sponsor this important legislation.
Shipmates take action. If not a member of The FRA you may write directly to your Representatives asking them to support this measure. We also urge family members to write.
Received this note from Russ Myers.
Russ Myers, 69-70. I was on deck force and a cook on the Noxubee at this time. I am responding to the March newsletter re-agent orange update. In 1995 I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and had to have it removed. There was a ruling not far after that in the Veterans Wellness mag. stating the Agent Orange prostate cancer link. I filled with the VA and thru many years and still fighting I am now receiving benefits. There was a similar ruling a few years ago that stated crews did not have to actually be on land to file any claim. I send this because although the VA is really a big pain to deal with, this info is out there. I have been all thru it. Hope this is some help.
|Bryan Rainville was on the Noxubee 1969-70. He needs contact from anyone who saw him at China Beach, knew he went to get mail, or was with him at the Bob Hope Show in Da Nang. His contact information is on the shipmates page or contact Dick Barber.
|There are two ways to get an award for agent orange; prove you had boots on the ground, or your unit received an award for agent orange. For more information contact Lawrence Smith. His contact info is on the shipmates page.

Can it really be a coincidence that just as Radiohead released
the much-anticipated Amnesiac, M. Ward, a relatively unknown
Portland guitarist, released an album called End of Amnesia?
As Radiohead plunges into abstract, modern, post-whatever music, M.
Ward takes a step back into the romantic era of the acoustic guitar -- a time when it
wasn't unacceptably clichéd to sing about women who burned
their way into your memories, happy and nostalgic childhood times and fellow
guitar legends.
Despite its rootsy, acoustic feel, End of Amnesia is quite innovative. Mixing acoustic sounds with light drums, pianos and even what seem to be recordings from a 1940s radio, Ward puts a contemporary sheen on this old-fashioned style. Despite its
strongly folkish and traditional ways, it even feels like an indie
album -- sort of like the Summer Hymns, but more low key and modest...and absolutely
nothing like Radiohead.
Ward's songs are anything but forced. Some are gentle and fragile,
others strong and inspirational. Despite Ward's very particualar style, he packs his songs with a broad range of emotions and topics. "Half Moon" is, if there ever
was such a thing, a perfect acoustic song. It begins with one of Ward's '40s
radio recordings, which is soon replaced by a melodic acoustic
guitar and a light drum. Ward's vocals here resemble an American
version of Nick Drake; indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if this song is meant to pay
homage to him. "Bad Dreams" is a lonely-feeling love song with delicate
imagery of two lovers chasing each other around a room, while "Silverline" experiments with instrumental blues and "Flaming Heart" mines pure rock a la Elvis and his contemporaries. "From a Pirate Radio" stands out as well; it's a beautiful song about, among other things, a young man's eagerness to grow up.
Perhaps, by calling their latest album Amnesiac, Radiohead are forgetting music's past, moving resolutely into its future in order to discover a sound that has never been heard before. In which case, by calling his album End of Amnesia, M. Ward is saying that he will not be afraid to
return to music's roots, looking to yesterday's musical styles for inspiration.

Capacitive or resistive: what's the best type of touchscreen?
Posted on 16 Apr 2010 at 16:38
Paul Ockenden explains smartphone touchscreen technologies
I'm going to deal with a topic that's sparked more than a dozen emails recently. A typical one is Steven Barrett, who asks:
"I keep reading about capacitive and resistive touchscreens, but I'm not sure what the real-world differences are. Capacitive screens generally receive more favourable reviews than resistive, but I've seen some strong views in the other direction on various blogs and online forums, with people saying that resistive screens are more accurate. I'd appreciate your views on which screen technology to choose."
Well, Steve, that's quite a can of worms you've just opened, and it's worth taking a quick refresher on how both technologies work. The resistive touchscreen is the older technology, at least in the smartphone arena.
The front surface is made of scratch-resistant, flexible plastic with a thin film of conductive material (usually Indium Tin Oxide or ITO) printed onto its underside. Beneath it is a second layer – usually made of glass, but sometimes of hard plastic – also with a coating of ITO.
The two layers are kept apart by tiny bumps or spacers placed at regular intervals, and the thin layers of ITO create an appreciable electrical resistance – the sandwich is so constructed that electrical charge runs from top to bottom on one layer but side-to-side on the other layer.
When the screen is touched the plastic deforms so that the two ITO films meet, and by measuring the resistance of both layers at their point of contact it's possible to get an accurate measurement of the touch position. This, of course, relies on an even coating of ITO on the layers, plus accurate calibration: with some early touchscreen mobiles, the calibration could drift as the battery became depleted, but nowadays, unless you buy a fake phone, you shouldn't experience this problem.
Most older phones use resistive screens, but that isn't to say it's an out-of-date technology, as phones are still being churned out using this type of screen (a good clue is normally, although not always, that the device is supplied with a stylus). Most people probably first encounter resistive screens in Windows Mobile devices (apart from the HTC HD2!).
There are two types of capacitive touchscreen generally available, surface and projected, and it's the latter that you'll find in smartphones. These again consist of a sandwich, but this time of two spaced layers of glass, again coated with ITO on the inside.
Depending on the particular screen, the ITO layer may be a uniform coat, a grid, or parallel stripes running at right angles on the two sheets. The latter scheme is used in the iPhone and the iPod Touch Duplo, better known as the iPad.
Think back to O Level physics, and you might remember that a capacitor consists of two plates separated by an insulating material, which may of course be air. Now picture those perpendicular stripes on two glass plates – wherever a stripe crosses one below it forms a capacitor so small it's measured in femtofarads (10-15F).
This small size is both bad news and good: bad, because such a tiny capacitance is difficult to measure and requires complex filtering to eliminate noise; good, because given such a small capacitance it isn't just the gap between the "plates" that affects the capacitance but also the space around them.
As your finger comes close to a capacitor it changes the local electrostatic field, and the system constantly monitors each tiny capacitor to discover exactly where the finger touched the screen: because the measurement points are discrete, it's possible to tell whether several fingers are all touching the screen at once, unlike with a resistive unit.

With regards to the barrier on capacitive screens...
...not quite true there. There are a few protective overlays/films that you can buy for devices such as the iPhone that still allow it to function properly. The one that springs to mind is the invisibleSHIELD, which has almost no effect on the operation.
However, I removed mine as I wasn't happy with the clarity of the screen when applied (it's not bad at all but I'm picky).
By mviracca on 16 Apr 2010
Shields and RDP
I've used an invisibleSHIELD on my iPod Touch, it worked fine, although it added a layer of obscurity to the display, the same as for resistive screens.
As to RDP, I use that a lot on my iPhone, along with the Citrix client. It tends to work just fine most of the time. The biggest problem is logging out - selecting log off, then trying to scroll the screen without the Logoff dialog losing focus...

people want a better world, but they don't want to pay for it
A few months ago at the Unite For Sight Global Health Conference Jeffrey Sachs said,
"We cannot fund the kind of society that cares for others with the revenue streams we have created for ourselves."
I've been meaning to blog about that keynote for three months. In particular, about a line he used about how "somewhere in the last quarter century, this country became a ripoff." The talk was about income inequality; slide after slide about tax rates on high income earners, a decline in spending on public services, and the American corporatocracy.
Jeffrey Sachs and tax rates for high-income individuals, April 2011
In truth, I haven't known how to approach the topic. I'm not in the top 1% of income earners in the United States, but the sentiment applies. Sitting in the Shubert Theater in New Haven, Connecticut, taking notes on my Macbook Air with Starbucks in hand, it was hard to not feel the pangs of hypocrisy.
Devin Coldeway wrote an incredible op-ed piece about our unwillingness to pay for ethically-made goods on TechCrunch. His premise is that it's not the sin of a large corporation to use factories in Mexico, China, or Indonesia. It's the sin of consumers for believing that a "better" way doesn't involve costs or sacrifices on our part.
Awareness is important. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that awareness alone will solve the problem.
It's hard to write about a problem when you're part of it. As Devin notes, I know what I should be doing, but I'm not doing it. I don't know the source of every component in everything that I use in my daily life. Does buying biodegradable dog bags and fair-trade tea make up for my Chinese-made iPhone and the carbon footprint of cross-country plane flights once a month?
I do not have the answers. I cannot even say I know how to find them. All I'm trying to do is articulate one voice in that conversation, about how we go about making the world better for everyone, whether that's our own lives or those of people in a rural village halfway across the world.
I do not believe that rich have to get poorer to make things right. I don't think lowering ourselves to the lowest common denominator enriches the world. I know that factories producing goods for American consumers provide jobs to people in developing countries that give them some hope of an income, but I don't know at what cost. I don't know what "fair" looks like, or what "good" working environments look like, but if I want those ideals to exist, I have to support them through my own consumption choices. And I know that my consumption choices are limited by the companies that supply products and the information they give me about how they're made.
Irish Famine Memorial, Cambridge, Massachusetts
As for my own life, I walk a line every day of feeling guilty for the life I live and feeling gratitude for the experiences I have. On good days, I find balance in my work and I spend money in the best ways I know how. But on the whole, I've got a long way to go on my journey towards living my values through every single choice I make.
Engineering is about problem solving, and the developing world is full of problems that we have not yet figured out how to solve.

I've never heard of the first three people. This may speak more about my ignorance than the quality of the blinds, but it's disappointing to be so psyched and have the first three people be meh, who cares.

I don't think that's "whining." It's just that these type of reveals are akin to the technical achievement Oscars - Enty should lump them all together in one post on another day. Considering the 12-hour marathon he has promised, I'd prefer a 5-hour one full of juicy items.

Fancy vegan ice cream desserts for your hot summer nights! »
Peaches n cream with a balsamic reduction! Angela Liddon, you and your gorgeous, fancypants desserts! It's culinary art!
Late summer (and early fall, and early summer, and late spring) is HOT HOT HOT in my part of Northern California, and all I want are cold foods. Just giant salads and oceans of vegan ice cream.
That's why I recommend you make this cashew-milk salted caramel ice cream as soon as possible. The author, Jennifer Barckley, took two years to perfect her recipe, which probably means it is amazing. What was the last thing you spent two years on?
I admit, both desserts seem a bit more labor-intensive than I like (I am a lazy, sweaty lump), but if you want to impress people and cool them off, serve them one of these beautiful dishes. They will be offering to have your babies by bite three, guaranteed. BRILLIANT IDEA: What if you made cashew-milk salted caramel ice cream and served it with fresh peaches and a balsamic reduction? Serve it to your neighborhood and watch them worship you as a kitchen deity!
If you want to go the easy route, though, vegan Miriam Krule and some of her family members did a six-brand taste-test of grocery store vegan ice creams over at Slate. Unsurprisingly, So Delicious was their favorite, and nobody liked weird old Tempt.

Project Just Desserts just doesn't stop! Our second episode guest chef, Janet Hudson of Vegan Feast, liked seventh episode guest chef Bianca's lemon pies and salted caramel ice cream so much, she made her own version the same day we published it! More gorgeous, tiny lemon pies!
Now where are your test-runs? Has anyone else tried out any of the other veganized recipes? We are dying to know!
I went ahead and made those pies—I seriously have a weakness for lemon and since we have a tree…. I used my curd recipe and Bianca's pastry and baked them instead of frying. The ice kreme is basically the same but I swirled in my vegan caramel after and tightened everything up with a good chill.

This book surveys the imperfect-information approach to inflation and its real effects. Two types of informational limitation are considered. One involves situations in which individuals have asymmetric information about the current general price level and consequently confuse relative and aggregate changes in prices. The other considers situations in which individuals cannot distinguish permanent from transitory changes as soon as they occur, creating a temporary but persistent confusion between such changes. The author presents the arguments within the context of the recent re-evaluations by economists of previously established views concerning inflation and its interaction with real phenomena.

As a small business owner, you enjoy the perks of running a small company. It's nice being your own boss, making your own schedule, calling the shots, and avoiding corporate politics, but it isn't always easy.
Running a small, one-person business comes with greater responsibilities. You are now the head of accounting, customer service, business operations, marketing, and the list goes on. On top of that, you feel the pressure of managing your small business operating expenses. It never feels good to see money come out of your pocket to cover overhead expenses. Hiring help to manage important tasks and leasing space to host meetings doesn't always feel cost effective, but at times it's absolutely necessary. Luckily, finding help or holding meetings doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.

Theory and Applications of Gaussian Quadrature Methods
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreGaussian quadrature is a powerful technique for numerical integration that falls under the broad category of spectral methods. The purpose of this work is to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of Gaussian quadrature. We study the approximation theory of trigonometric and orthogonal polynomials and related functions and examine the analytical framework of Gaussian quadrature. We discuss Gaussian quadrature for bandlimited functions, a topic inspired by some recent developments in the analysis of prolate spheroidal wave functions. Algorithms for the computation of the quadrature nodes and weights are described. Several applications of Gaussian quadrature are given, ranging from the evaluation of special functions to pseudospectral methods for solving differential equations. Software realization of select algorithms is provided.

Lindsay Lohan is DESPERATE to avoid jail time ... so much so, she's enlisted the help of her spiritual advisor to make sure that happens.
Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ ... the actress is asking friends, family and her spiritual guru (yup, some people have those) to write letters on her behalf to the judge hearing her case. Lindsay believes the letters will help prove jail is not the best option for her.
TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay is currently facing up to 245 days in the slammer for her recent probation violation. Or the judge has the option to send her to counseling instead.
We're told Lindsay is convinced a letter from the spiritual advisor will have the most impact. Specifically because he's been helping her since 2008 -- following her 2nd DUI arrest -- and can vouch for the fact that LiLo has benefited from counseling in the past. When she shows up.
As we previously reported, Commissioner Jane Godfrey -- who will arraign LiLo -- isn't big on jail regardless and often times chooses counseling over serving time.
A hearing is scheduled for January 25th.
I advise her to get the Kneepads out and start filming porn to start making money to pay her legal fees!
Lohan desperation is showing with this run of weak stories for cash.
All is not well in LindsayLand.

The judge is right. Get some real work and focus on that. Also, keep your hair red (the blonde looks like crap) and stop getting collogen injections. You are too young for that!
She needs jail time. That's what she's scared of is jail. I think this would be her turning point if the judge would just let her do a little bit of time. If not, I fear the worst for her.
Is her "spritual " advisor on her pay roll too. Or maybe she is her drug dealer.
Dear Judge,
Please keep the meth head, alcoholic, lying, thieving skank out of jail please. Thank you, signed, Miss Cleo. Yeah,,,,,,that's the ticket !
My spiritual advisor and I usually just sit around drinking a fifth of scotch while he pretends to guide me and I pretend to listen. Win, win all around.
Lindsay's Spiritual Advisor:
Didn't I say I saw something about a big hit? Sorry if it wasn't Liz and Dick but there was a Hit!
Didn't I tell you that you would be the talk of the town?
Didn't I tell you that you would be torn between two places?
Didn't I tell you that you would be running into big things down the road?
So! what's the problem? I told you what I saw, If you don't like it, tough! Now pay up or I'll slap myself and tell them you did it.
Lindsay Lohan 'has been pulling out clumps of her hair & acting like a zombie'
Both The Enquirer and Star magazine have stories about Lindsay Lohan potentially checking into mental hospital to deal with her crack delusions. I'm not sure what that means except that both outlets have the same parent company and there might be some groupthink going on. And who knows? It could even be a viable solution to Lindsay's ongoing legal dramas – the judge could give her a choice, jail or a mental health facility.
The ENQUIRER reports in exclusive cover story that LINDSAY LOHAN is more than GONE – she's FAR gone and may be heading for the last round-up.
Lindsay Lohan continued her downward spiral of self-destructive behavior when she was busted for allegedly slugging another woman in a New York hotspot – and now pals of the troubled actress are saying there is only one thing that can save her!
In the latest issue of The ENQUIRER, we reveal the drastic steps that those close to Lindsay, 26, say she needs to take or risk becoming another Hollywood tragedy.
"At this point, Lindsay is so screwed up that her only hope of survival is an intense stint in a mental hospital under expert care," an insider says.
'The problem is that she surrounds herself with users and 'yes' people, including her own mother," an insider told The ENQUIRER. "They're nothing but phonies and takers – and they're letting her run wild! Family members and old friends who truly care about her believe that her last chance is being admitted to a facility for a completely mental evaluation."
Disturbingly, the latest arrest of the "Mean Girls" star came after sources claim she'd been guzzling up to two bottles of vodka a day.
Adding to her problems, Lindsay – who already has a long rap sheet — is facing jail time for allegedly lying to police about an L.A. car crash in June.
What's more, her finances are in shambles with the IRS hounding her to pay a whopping $250,000 in back taxes. And her performance as screen legend Elizabeth Taylor in the recent TV flick Liz and Dick was panned by critics.
Meanwhile, her behavior is growing more and more erratic.
"Lindsay has been pulling out clumps of her hair and she talks to herself constantly, shouting and cursing when she thinks nobody is around," confided the insider. "She wanders around in the dead of night like a zombie, half-awake but in a zoned-out trance. She's in total denial about her problems, but she clearly needs to check herself into a psych ward for mental help. If it worked for Britney Spears, it can work for Lindsay."
[From The Enquirer, print and online editions]
She pulls out clumps of hair? She walks around like a zombie? Isn't that just called "meth"? In Star Mag's version, Lindsay has already seen two doctors in LA, and she was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which… sure. I'll buy that. Sources claim one of the doctors prescribed Lexapro, Wellbutrin and Xanax, because that's just what she needs in her life, more pills. But don't worry, she's already stopped taking them. A source tells Star, "She ended up getting a little pudgy, so she stopped taking them and began her alcohol-and-cocaine binge again. She also started abusing Oxycontin." Because of course. One the doctors told her that if she didn't start taking all of this seriously, she was going to die, and the doctor even said what was most likely: a car accident while under the influence. Sounds about right.
Two more Lohan stories for you… apparently, she's no longer groupie-stalking Max George and The Wanted. When asked if Lindsay was his girlfriend, Max told a reporter, "No, what's the right word for her? A yeah, a groupie! She is probably hiding in our suitcase right now!" After that, Lindsay "unfollowed" Max on Twitter and she's probably crack-pouting about it right now. The second Lohan story is just that thing that I put in the links yesterday – Lindsay can't make her payments to a storage company, so they're probably going to be auctioning off her container. She owes the storage rental place $16,000, and she's asking everyone she knows to cough up some cash to help her save her stuff, but no one is giving her anything. Any guesses to what she has in storage? We could make a lot of fun guesses, but I bet she has lots and lots of clothes in storage. Of course, many of them have crack-scabies, so even if they're designer, you wouldn't want them.
I think Cesar Millan would be a better spiritual advisor, and I'm sure he'd give the Lohan's a group rate lol
This story taken with last week's Star and Enquirer stories (about Lindsay being diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder) have me wondering if all of this isn't just Lindsay's latest crack hustle to stay out of jail. Is she laying the groundwork for her January hearing? Will Shawn Holley tell the judge that her crack'd client needs to be put in a court-ordered mental institution rather than jail? Here's the problem with that: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. That's the exact plot. I think Lindsay would hate a mental health facility more than jail, and if I was in her position, I would choose jail over any kind of private or publicly-funded mental health place too.
And remember how Charlie Sheen donated $100K to the crack charity known as Blohan? Charlie confirmed the "gift" and he even said that Lindsay had never thanked him for it. Well, Lindsay wants us to know that she sent Charlie a note and some flowers:
If someone gave me $100K, I would manage more than a brief thank-you note and some flowers. I really would get on my knees for it, but I guess that's what Lindsay already did, and Charlie was just "paying her for a project". ??

This article introduces a new approach to business resiliency. It is a pragmatic approach, intended to help enterprises make sound decisions in areas that profoundly affect their ability to survive in the face of disruption. Although the term has become somewhat of a buzzword with various shades of technical meaning, "resiliency," at its core, represents a simple idea. It refers to the ability of an enterprise to cope effectively with potentially disruptive events. A resilient organization or enterprise can take a lot of abuse without breaking, and it recovers efficiently following a disruptive event. Keeping technology fully operational is just part of that capability. Resiliency is an enterprise-wide state of readiness that includes people, processes, information, facilities, interfaces with third-party vendors, as well as technology protection For

text: Michael Jordan Gets Married Again (AP) -- Michael Jordan got married over the weekend in front of a few hundred of his family and friends. The Charlotte Bobcats owner exchanged vows with 35-year-old former model Yvette Prieto Saturday in Palm Beach, Fla. Jordan's manager Estee Portnoy told The Associated Press Sunday the ceremony was held at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea. A reception was held at the Bear's Club in Jupiter, Fla., a luxurious private golf club designed by Jack Nicklaus. Jordan, 50, owns a home near the course. Nearly 300 guests attended, including Tiger Woods, Patrick Ewing and Ahmad Rashad. Jordan and Prieto met five years ago and were engaged last December. In lieu of wedding gifts, donations were made to the James R. Jordan Foundation. The wedding flowers were donated to the Jupiter Medical Center. News management powered by Xpression News

In response to:
A 2002 review of seven separate crash culpability studies involving 7,934 drivers reported, "Crash culpability studies [which attempt to correlate the responsibility of a driver for an accident to his or her consumption of a drug and the level of drug compound in his or her system] have failed to demonstrate that drivers with cannabinoids in the blood are significantly more likely than drug-free drivers to be culpable in road crashes." [Chesher et al. Cannabis and alcohol in motor vehicle accidents. In: Grotenhermen and Russo (Eds) Cannabis and Cannabinoids: Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutic Potential. New York: Haworth Press. 2002: 313-323.]
As recreational drugs go, marijuana is relatively benign. Unlike alcohol, it doesn't stimulate violence or destroy livers. Unlike tobacco, it doesn't cause lung cancer and heart disease. The worst you can say is that it produces intense, unreasoning panic. Not in users, but in critics.
Those critics have less influence all the time. Some 18 states permit medical use of marijuana, and in November, Colorado and Washington voted to allow recreational use. Nationally, support for legalization is steadily rising. A decade ago, one of every three Americans favored the idea. Today, nearly half do -- and among those under 50, a large...

I don't only believe fat people should have to be healthier to take pressure off of the NHS - I think everyone should, including underweight people. And when we get a government who doesn't seem intent on destroying it, then go ahead and be as unhealthy as you like. And 'ableist'? I'm autistic. I thought disabled people couldn't be ableist? Mind you, I guess I can't really empathize with people who have physical disabilities, so I might have to give you that one.

Well, doesn't your autism cost the system money? Then shouldn't you just stop being autistic, so you wouldn't cost it more than anyone else? But what I was referring to is the way in which many disabilities are or are connected to chronic illnesses, or their disabilities prevent them from achieving some vague, nebulous concept of health, and you just want them to get healthy because you think maybe it'll save you some money. That's ableist. Yes, people with one type of disability can be ableist against people with other types.
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST FUCKING CLUE WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS HEALTHY BASED SOLELY ON THEIR WEIGHT, YOU ASSHOLE. And you don't have the right to demand that ANYONE meet your petty little standard of health.
