Tornadoes hit Arkansas, Oklahoma causing massive damage, numerous casualties
(NEWSER) – At least 17 people were killed as a massive storm system ripped through the central and southern US yesterday, spawning deadly tornadoes in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Tornadoes also touched down in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri, reports the AP, which puts the death toll at 16 in Arkansas and one in Oklahoma. More:
- The Little Rock suburb of Vilonia was one of the hardest-hit towns, with at least 10 people dead and other victims believed to be buried under rubble,Reuters reports. The county sheriff says there is a "mass casualty situation" with numerous people injured. "There's just really nothing there anymore," says the local school superintendent. "We're probably going to have to start all over again."

PHOTO: Britney Spears shows off bikini bod on the cover of 'SHAPE'
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Whoa! Anyone else getting a flashback of old school Britney Spears?
The 31-year-old mother of two has landed the cover of Shape magazine, and in the June issue, Spears shows off her toned abs that are reminiscent of her "Baby One More Time" days in 1999.
However, 14 years later, Spears admits that maintaining her body is not as easy as it used to be...particularly when it comes to keeping her backside in shape.
"I like it, then again, I hate it," Spears says. "I'm in my 30s now, so I have to work harder to keep it 'up.'"
So what does her hard workout routine entail?
"I'm doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio — hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez," Spears reveals. This conditioning will get Spears in shape for her upcoming performance stint in Las Vegas. While a start date has yet to be confirmed, it is rumored Spears will perform 40 alternating weekend shows at Planet Hollywood's PH Live.
"The [Vegas] performances won't be simple — they'll be a massive party from start to finish," Spears says. "And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed."
This also includes a more restricted diet regimen.
"Dieting is tough," the "Scream and Shout" singer admits, "because my specialties are spaghetti, brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I try not to make those too often or I'll eat the whole bowl of dough."

South African wines tend to fly under the radar but are growing in popularity. In the past, its wine has been sent directly to distilleries to be turned into brandy, but South African wine is gaining recognition for its excellent value. Its varieties give drinkers high quality at a very affordable price.
South Africa has a rather Mediterranean climate with a varied geography. Concentrated along the coast and especially in the west, the mountains, valleys and plateaus produce a good variety. Their wine production is considered a blend of old and new world styles for a good balance.
Many South African white wines go to brandy production, but many are making their way into our selection. Try Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and a number of other varieties. Their wine production and exports are dominated by their complex, rich and savory reds. The region is known for Pinotage, their signature variety that is a cross of Pinot Noir and Cinsaut. This cross does not have the typical Pinot Noir characteristics. Try it for its juicy yet spicy profile. Other notable reds include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. Shop South African wines online at Wine Chateau. Expand into different growing regions, and order by the bottle or the case.

This is the only watch that relays voice commands to a smart phone buried in a purse or tucked safely in a pocket. The watch appears to be a classic analog design, but a discreet speaker and microphone transform it into a one-touch communication hub on the wrist. Using Bluetooth 4.0, the watch relays spoken commands to a paired iPhone or Android phone, acting as liaison for calls and texts, as well as a remote for any voice command you would normally give your phone. The watch vibrates and buzzes for incoming calls, and the small LED screen at the edge of the watch face reveals the caller's name. The screen also displays incoming texts or e-mails, according to the user-selected settings in the app interface on the phone. The app also features a "leash" function to alert users if the phone has been left behind, and a remote that engages the shutter on the phone's camera for group shots. Stainless steel case with leather wristband. Includes micro USB cable for recharging. Charge lasts seven days on standby, with two hours of talk time. 1 1/2" H x 1 3/4" W x 1/2" D. (8 oz.)

Another great purchase
By Pat St.John
from South Orange, NJ
I've been buying from Hammacher Schlemmer for a very long time and again I'm thrilled with this purchase. I'm the first person I know to have a smartwatch. It's amazing. Nice to look at, I can instantly see who sent the text message & the message itself scrolling. I can answer my phone with one button and talk to them from the microphone on the watch, and the quality is terrific. There are many features here that just amaze me, and as usual I got it delivered rapidly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dick Tracy is alive and well
By Voiceman42
from Tampa, FL
Pretty neat device, just like Dick Tracy's watch, but not terribly clear on the functions or operation nor the ability to quickly silence the speaker. Based on the speaker and microphone ports and the USB socket, I'm concerned with getting the watch wet, even from the rain. The manual could be more clear on the exact operation using the two buttons by themselves or together.

It is used everyday and very convenient without taking my cell phone out of my pocket. I use it with my i-phone 5s.
The Voice Command Smartphone Watch.
from Houston Texas
I serve at one of the largest hospitals in Houston ,Texas as a Pastoral Assistant to the Priest and during the visits with the patients, I do not have to take my phone out of my pocket while performing my duties. Use of this watch frees up my hands and permits me to accomplish other tasks at the same time. I get more questions about the watch and Doctors and Nurses along with other hospital employees are quite amazed when I use and answer calls from my watch. I have personally sent emails showing this watch to many other hospital employees and police officers that I work with daily. This is the most fascinating piece of jewelry that I have ever owned and wear with pride and the many uses are too many to list. Truly a must for the today professionals and I would not trade it for anything.

There's no actual debt ceiling right now
There's no actual debt ceiling right now.
The fiscal deal passed by Congress on Wednesday evening to re-open the government and get around the $16.4 trillion limit on borrowing doesn't actually increase the debt limit. It just temporarily suspends enforcement of it.
That means Americans have no idea how much debt their government is going to rack up between now and Feb. 7, when the limits are supposed to go back into place and will have to be raised.
There is no dollar amount set for how much debt the government can accumulate between now and then. The suspension strategy was employed first earlier this year during previous fiscal battles in Congress.
Such tactics infuriate anti-government waste groups.
"Suspending the debt ceiling without a dollar amount is further proof that Congress is taking a major step backward in fiscal responsibility," David Williams, the president of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, told TheDC on Thursday. "A real dollar figure is a constant reminder to taxpayers and Congress that the country is broke. This was done to hide the real debt from taxpayers."

Israel Resumes Airstrikes as Ceasefire Unravels
(NEWSER) – As ceasefires go, Egypt's proposal to halt Israeli-Hamas hostilities didn't appear to actually cease that much fire: Though Israel accepted the plan, which took tenuous hold at 2am Eastern, Hamas rejected it and Israel officially stuck a fork in it this morning after six hours of what it said were about 50 unilateral rocket attacks from Gaza militants. Israel had vowed to hit Hamas hard if it failed to abide by the deal, which Hamas had dismissed as "not worth the ink that it was written with," and an Israeli military spokesman tells the AP that the military has "resumed operational activities." CNN reports that its crew has seen at least five airstrikes since Israel ended the truce.

Yancey, Sadie Mae
Birth Year : 1907
Death Year : 1958
Sadie M. Yancey was the top honor student when she graduated from Kentucky State College in 1935 [now Kentucky State University]. She was the first graduate of the college department at Kentucky State College to earn a Ph.D. Yancey received her doctorate from Cornell University, September 1950; she had earned her master's degree in education from the University of Cincinnati in 1942. Yancey was an advocate for education: in 1940 she was a member of the Kentucky Negro Educational Association, serving on the Committee of Expenditures of Funds on Educational Inequalities [source: KNEA Journal vol. 10, no. 2, p. 8]. Yancey gave a presentation, "What Guidance Techniques I Am Using," at the Guidance Workers Conference during the 1942 KNEA Conference in Louisville, KY.

She was the first president and a founding member of the National Association of Personnel Workers (NAPW), founded in 1953. The association was a combined effort of the National Association of the Deans of Women and Advisers of Girls in Colored Schools and the National Association of the Deans of Men in Negro Educational Institutions. The NAPW was renamed the National Association of Student Affairs Professionals (NASAP), and the Sadie M. Yancey Professional Service Award was established as the second highest honor that a member of that organization can receive. Yancey was also vice president of the National Council of Negro Women. She was a member of Delta Sigma Theta, and chaired the Scholarship and Standards Committee. Sadie Yancey was born in Lexington, KY, the daughter of Minnie Jackson Yancey, a domestic, and Charles Yancey, a Lexington grocer who was from Canada [source: Sadie Yancey's Certificate of Birth].

Young, Ada Johnson and Samuel "Policy Sam"
Ada Johnson Young was born in Kentucky around 1886, she was the wife of Samuel Young who was also known in Chicago as "Policy Sam" and the "Father of Policy". Samuel Young was born around 1868 in Alabama, died in 1937 in Chicago, and was buried in Louisville, KY. He is remembered for bringing the illegal numbers game "Policy" to Chicago. According to the U.S. Federal Census, Ada and Samuel Young lived in Chicago on Dearborn Street in 1910; they were two of the four lodgers at the home of Henry Bates. Samuel's employment was given as bondsman. Ada was listed as a mulatto from Kentucky, and Samuel was listed as a black man from Tennessee [he had previously lived in TN]. The two other lodgers at Bates' home were Pearl and Robert Reed. Pearl, a hairdresser, was also from Kentucky. By 1920, Ada and Samuel Young had their own place on State Street and were the parents of two children. Samuel's occupation was still recorded as bondsman in the census. Ten years later, Samuel and the children were listed in the census as living with Ada's brother's family on Rhodes Avenue in Chicago; Ada's name was not included as a member of the household. Both Samuel Young and his brother-in-law, Albert Johnson, were said to be employed as bondsmen of appearance bonds. [Appearance bonds are posted for the release of a defendant or a witness who is in legal custody. The bond, which can be cash, propety, or collateral, is posted to secure the individual's required appearance in court.] For more see "The Last of the Policy Kings: game unnoticed in 1915 becomes richest racket," Chicago Defender, 08/23/1952, p.1; "Policy Sam Young rites held Friday," Chicago Defender, 05/29/1937, p.5; "Policy Sam shot in card game holdup," Chicago Defender, 12/22/1928; and see NKAA entry Negro Gig.

Young, Betty
Death Year : 1833
The free black population in Kentucky was, prior to the Civil War, a small percentage of the total number of African Americans living in the state. Their legal status was often challenged, their personal freedoms and civil rights tenuous. Their accomplishments are all the more notable because so many factors worked against them. Betty Young was a free black woman who lived in Lexington in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. She and her husband, Thomas Young, had been slaves belonging to Nathaniel Wilson, but Thomas purchased his own and his wife's freedom sometime prior to 1806. Dr. Basil Duke, then a practicing physician in Lexington, administered the estate of Nathaniel Wilson and filed the manumissions. In 1826, Nathaniel Wilson's widow, Margaret, took oath that the Youngs had been free for many years and had paid her husband for their freedom in full. The proof of their freedom was formally recorded with the Fayette County Court in 1828 and was prompted by Betty Young's purchase of her son Jim's freedom from the estate of John Springle; Betty formally emancipated her son later that year. Betty Young was listed as the head of her household in Lexington in the 1810 and the 1820 censuses; her husband had probably died by 1810 since he was not listed as head of household. She was one of only 208 free African American citizens in Fayette County in 1810 (compared to 7,664 slaves in the county in the same year). The free African American population in Fayette County increased to only 248 persons by 1820; Betty Young was one of them. Betty managed to buy a house on High Street in 1829, a time when it was rare for free people of color to own property. Beside her son Jim, Betty Young had a daughter, Margaret Bogus, who may have lived with her. Margaret's freedom was not formally recorded until 1833, but the manumission record indicated that her mother had purchased her daughter's freedom at an earlier date. Betty Young succumbed to cholera in the summer of 1833; she was described as "Betty Young, free" in the list of cholera deaths published in the Kentucky Gazette on June 23. Betty Young's efforts to free her children meant freedom from servitude for them and, freedom for any children that her daughter bore after she was emancipated, extending her gift of freedom into future generations. For more information, see Fayette County Deed Books, 5:421, 3:387, 3:388, and 4:258 [available at the Fayette County Clerk's Office]; Lexington city tax records; Kentucky Gazette, June 23, 1833; and U.S. Census returns (1810, 1820, and 1830) [available on microfilm at UK Special Collections].

Young, Billy
Birth Year : 1860
Death Year : 1913
Young may have been born in Kentucky, he grew up in Cincinnati. He and D. W. McCabe owned a minstrel company, one of the few owned by African Americans. The duo teamed up in the 1870s. They played to audiences around the country, including the southern states and even Cuba. Young was equally talented at singing, dancing, and comedy and tragedy, and he also wrote the script for a number of performances. In 1892, McCabe ditched the company in Mexico, took off with the money, and was not heard from again until 1894 as head of a new company. McCabe died in 1907. Young, who liked his rye and bourbon, continued to perform until 1913 when he developed lung problems and died a few months later.

When he was a boy, he escaped to Ohio but was captured in 1850 and sold to an owner in Natchez, Mississippi. He gained his freedom and moved to Concordia, LA, where he was a property owner and a community leader. He was a civil rights activist who fought for equal access to public establishments such as saloons and theaters, and he fought for equal access to public transportation such as steamships. David Young was elected a House Member of the Louisiana Legislature in 1868; his parish, Concorida, was 92.8% Black. He was re-elected in 1870 and 1872. In 1874, he was elected to the Senate. In 1877 he was indicted for the embezzlement of the school fund for his parish. The case was dismissed and it was the end of David Young's political career. David Young was self-educated and owned interest in the Republican Journal and the Concordia Eagle. After his political career, David Young became a minister in New Orleans and was head of the Zion Traveller's Baptist Church at Adam and Commercial Streets. He was vice president of the Colored Baptist Convention. He was the husband of Nancy Young [source: 1880 U.S. Federal Census]. For more see "Hon.

Yowell, Samuel [Petersburg Colored School]
Birth Year : 1791
Death Year : 1872
Samuel Yowell [also spelled Youell] was a property owner in Petersburg, KY. He was born in Virginia and is listed in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census as a freeman who was a weaver. Included in his household was Jane Yowell, born in 1810 in Virginia. In the 1870 Census, Samuel Yowell's occupation is listed as a fisherman, and there are two children living with him and Jane: 12 year old Mat Yowell and 5 year old Amanda Yowell, both born in Kentucky. Samuel Yowell died in Petersburg in 1872 without any heirs, so his property, lots 172 and 173, became the property of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In 1882, the Kentucky Legislature passed "An Act for the benefit of the colored schools in Petersburg, Kentucky," granting that lots 172 and 173 be used for the schools. Petersburg was established in 1800 and is an unincorporated community in Boone County, KY. In 1880, the population was 1,377 with 98 African Americans.

YWCA (Louisville, KY)
Start Year : 1915
End Year : 1998
Founded in 1912, the Louisville YWCA hosted the first interracial YWCA conference in the South, October 14-16, 1915. Four years later, it was noted in the title Child Welfare in Kentucky that the Louisville Association of the YWCA was the only one in the United States that provided a summer camp for colored girls. The Phillis Wheatley Branch of the YWCA for African Americans was established in the early 1920s and closed in the 1970s. The first Spouse Abuse Shelter in Kentucky was opened in the Louisville YWCA in 1977, and in 1981 six shelters in the state formed a statewide coalition, the Kentucky Domestic Violence Association. In 1998, the Louisville YWCA was no longer affiliated with the national YWCA and became the Center For Women and Families. For more see U.S. Women's Interest Groups: Institutional Profiles, by S. Slavin; Our History at the YWCA.org website; YWCA entry in The Encyclopedia of Louisville, edited by J. E.

YWCA Subcommittee on Colored Work
Start Year : 1915
The YWCA's first Conference on Colored Work was held in Louisville, KY, in 1915, with both African American and white women in attendance and seated together during the programs. It was the first integrated conference by the YWCA, an experiment to see if it would work in an agreeable fashion. Louisville was considered a safe enough testing ground in the not too deep South. African American women from throughout the South who headed YWCA branches attended the conference, along with leaders from other women's organizations who wanted to establish African American YWCAs in their communities. A previous conference, held in Asheville, NC, in 1907, to discuss the YWCA's work in southern African American communities, was attended by 60 white women. The national meeting in 1913 was held in Richmond, VA, with African American student attendees seated in the balcony. It soon became obvious that more African American women were attending the YWCA conferences and establishing branches; therefore, in 1913 the Subcommittee on Colored Work was formed to respond to the work with African American women in urban areas, which was the fastest growing development. Stationed in New York, Eva Del Vakia Bowles, an African American from Albany, OH, was hired as secretary of the subcommittee, with the responsibility of helping the National YWCA to accommodate the African American members without detriment to the white membership. The 1915 conference attendees in Louisville are remembered for three areas of consensus: 1) The National Board appointed an interracial committee to promote the college associations, city associations, and new branches; 2) Training for African American staff and volunteer members would be paid for by the National Board; and 3) African American branches of the YWCA were to become branches of the local white associations or the National Board. The placement of the African American branches under the control of the local white YWCAs was protested, but to little avail. Also, African American student conferences were held annually in the South, with a white YWCA member in attendance. The YWCA Council on Colored Work was disbanded during World War I when the War Work Council was formed; work with African Americans shifted more toward the enlisted men. For more see the YWCA of the U.S.A. Records, a Five College Archive and Manuscripts Collections website; The Afro-American Woman, by S. Harley and R. Terborg-Penn; and Organizing Black America, by N. Mjagkij.

Missouri Law That Would Allow Teachers To Carry Guns Gets Vetoed
A Missouri bill that would have allowed teachers and other school personnel to carry concealed weapons on school grounds has been vetoed by the state's governor.
"Arming teachers will not make our schools safer," Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, said in a statement after rejecting the bill. "I cannot condone putting firearms in the hands of educators who should be focused on teaching our kids."
Under the law, schools would have been allowed to appoint "school protection officers" from the staff who could receive concealed-weapons training and then bring such weapons to school. Currently, 11 other states allow those with concealed carry permits to bring guns to K-12 schools in some capacity.
Teacher carry has flared up as an issue since the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. While gun control advocates have pushed for greater restrictions on firearms, gun rights supporters have hit back by saying the solution is more guns, not fewer. The National Rifle Association, America's largest gun rights group, officially endorsed concealed carry by teachers as a protection against massacres in the wake of the shooting.
Nixon emphasized that while he opposed letting teachers carry, he still supported having armed, uniformed police officers on school grounds if schools desired them.

Senate Says No To House Funding Bill
(Washington, DC) -- The Senate is saying no to a House bill aimed at averting a looming government shutdown. The Republican House measure attempted to link a one-year delay in Obamacare to a bill extending government funding. The Democratic-led Senate voted to table the House bill, which effectively kills it. The vote fell along party lines, 54-46. Without a bipartisan deal to extend funding, a federal government shutdown will start shortly after midnight tonight. Midnight signifies the end of the current fiscal year.

Best-Known Undocumented Immigrant Released
(NEWSER) – Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, whose documentary on undocumented immigrants aired last month on CNN, was released by US Border Patrol agents after being detained earlier today at a Texas airport, the AP reports. Though it's not clear if this was the case with Vargas, the AP notes it's common for the Border Patrol to release people on their own recognizances, with notices to appear in court later. With such notices, people can generally travel throughout the US without being detained again.

Our approach to therapy focuses on the whole person and not just the symptoms. We are trained in various treatments they may be used by themselves or in combination with others, depending on our client's needs.

Psychodynamic Therapy will help you gain insight about how your emotions affect your behaviors. CBT also uncovers core beliefs, but it takes you a step further by helping you break those unhealthy thought/behavior patterns and replace with new ones.

Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

Depression is a cloud over one's life. For those afflicted with depression, please understand you are not alone. You are not going out of your mind, and the black cloud can be lifted. As a depressed Christian, don't feel ashamed. A sad truth is that many Christians attach spiritual failure to depression. So, they suffer in silence, hoping, and praying for deliverance. For clients wishing to be treated without habit forming drugs, I can assist in finding a reprieve, through Bibliotherapeutic, and God's earthly grown methods. If it is determined that medication is required, I can provide a referral. With both methodologies in place, the mind, body, and soul can be successfully restored.

We all have disappointments and failed dreams but sometimes depression sneaks up on us and steals the joy from even the small things. It is challenging to find the balance between struggling against versus giving in to the lethargy. I help people explore needs, wants, preferences and obligations in order to identify where to focus the current limited amounts of energy and what is most likely to create additional energy. I provide a safe space where you don't have to put on a fake smile, where you can talk about the things that everyone else is tired of hearing about, and where you can explore what your depression might be trying to tell you.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We all experience ups and downs in life. This is normal and pat of living life. However, depression is characterized by feelings that are much more intense, let longer, and interfere more intensely with day-to-day functioning and interaction with other people. It is a serious condition that can impact every aspect of your life. It can affect your family relationships, work relationship, and impact negatively on your sense of self worth. Depression is very treatable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is our primary approach to treating depression and it has been proven to be effective for most forms of depression and even to prevent the occurrence of future depressive episodes.

A lot of people tend to blame themselves for having depression when they do not get better. They especially feel bad when they do not get enough support from their family members. When you have depression, you can't just suck it up or ignore it. It's not that simple. When you have clinical depression, you lose the ability to feel happy. But, through the therapy treatment, you will be able to regain your happiness back!

Hasan Sentenced To Death In Fort Hood Mass Shooting
(Fort Hood, TX) -- Nidal Hasan is getting the death penalty for the 2009 massacre at Fort Hood. It took military jurors just over two hours to reach their decision in the 17 day trial. Hasan, who acted as his own attorney, never disputed carrying out the shooting and hardly spoke in court at all. He never released a motive because a judge ruled he couldn't use defending the lives of Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq as his defense. Prosecutors say Hasan didn't want to be deployed to Afghanistan. He was convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder last week.
The sentence means Hasan loses his rank of Army major, plus all pay and benefits. He gets an automatic appeal whether he wants it or not. The family of two victims are expected to publicly comment on it later today.

WATCH: Julia Roberts Plays' Face Balls' With Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Fallon unveiled a new game on Thursday's "Tonight Show" called 'Face Balls," and the first contestant was none other than his guest Julia Roberts.
As the talk show host explained, "The rules are simple, you throw a ball in you opponent's face… as hard as you can."
Roberts and Fallon then took turns hurling soft, plastic balls of varying sizes — from a close distance — at each other's faces.
The Oscar winner nailed the "Tonight Show" host so intensely, he jokingly griped, "You don't have to throw it that hard."
Roberts, noting "I'm better handling big balls," got nailed pretty good too with a couple of balls to her face.
Fallon kept apologizing to his guest. "You're 'America's Sweetheart.' I love you. I love having you on the show… please come back. I'm sorry!"
Mostly, though, the whole fun of the game was watching the impact of their faces in super-slow motion replay.

TMZ: Khloe Kardashian files divorce docs
(TMZ) - Khloe Kardashian has just filed court documents to divorce Lamar Odom and restore her name - TMZ has learned.
As TMZ first reported, Khloe planned to pull the trigger today on her 4-year marriage to Lamar, who has been deep in the world of drugs on and off for the last 2 years.
In the legal docs, filed by disso-queen Laura Wasser, Khloe cites "irreconcilable differences."
[PHOTOS: Splitsville - Khloe and Lamar]
As TMZ previously reported, the couple has a prenup so division of property will be a cinch - they kept all their property separate.
And Khloe is asking the judge to take Odom out of name her name, so she is once again simply Khloe Kardashian ... eliminating Odom from her life in every way.
And, according to TMZ, Khloe is NOT asking for spousal support and wants the judge to reject any bid by Lamar for the same.
