Ratings for Dr. Lawrence M. Ehrlich
He injects children with viruses he doesn't inject his own kid.
Dr. Ehrlich is a kind and compassionate physician. He has been taking care of my entire family for the past ten years. We have had some major medical family issues arise over the years. He has guided us through these rough times with great skill whether he has taken care of us or gotten us to top specialists. His staff treats us like family and goes above and beyond. I appreciate the time given to my issues. I would not hesitate to refer this doctor! Thank you for this opportunity.
My mother has been working for him over 15 years, he is a great listener and always goes the extra mile with his patients. No matter what the circumstance is he's always available:)
the best family doctor I have ever had, always works me in when I am sick, very compassionate, very smart, up on all the latest info and just a nice, very upbeat guy
Dr. Ehrlich is the best. He is very caring and real laid back. He takes a lot of time to listen to your ailments and offer suggestions. Even his staff are great. I highly recommend him
I came to see Dr. Ehrlich upon the recommendation of my son and daughter in law. Their whole family is seen by him including two of the kids who he was at the delivery for. He has always taken care of the family's health from colds to my husband's cancer. We enjoy him and recommend him highly.
I switched to Dr. Ehrlich by the recommendation of a friend whose entire extended family sees him. Both my husband and I think that he is wonderful. He seems to really know his stuff and takes the time to explain your problem, your treatment, and all your options. He really tries to help with prevention too. My kids and grandkids have started to see him and my daughter says he does so well with the kids. My wife and I both have HMO, but we choose to pay cash and see Dr. Ehrlich until we are able to change the insurance at work. Sometimes, he runs behind, but that is because of the extra time given when it is needed. I had a major issue, and he took the time to help, so I don't mind the few times I have had to wait 20 minutes. He is worth it. Hope I was helpful.
The doctor is very compassionate and knowledgable. He takes the time to explain your diseases and to answer all your questions. I have experienced many doctors, but never have I felt so safe and comfortable in anothers care before. He takes care of the whole family including my new grandkids.

Provo • Like most BYU volleyball players, Ben Patch's life is a whirlwind right now.
Not only is the MPSF Freshman of the Year preparing to play in Thursday's conference tournament semifinal match against UCLA (8 p.m., BYUtv), he is trying to navigate final exams.
The tests "are kicking my butt right now, and I still have two more to take," the Provo High product said Tuesday. "They are hampering all of us a little bit, but we will be ready to go, and have clear heads, by match time."
Patch also has his immediate future on his mind, and it doesn't include a return to the BYU men's volleyball team next year, or the year after that.
Patch plans to submit his paperwork for a two-year LDS Church mission as soon as the season ends, and hopes to leave at the end of the summer when he is finished training with the U.S. Junior National Team.
Despite having a phenomenal first season with the Cougars, the 6-foot-8 Patch said it was not a difficult decision. Now if he can only get sent to his dream destination: Barcelona, Spain.
"I kind of made the decision a long time ago that I wanted to go," he said. "It has always been an important factor to me, and I personally feel that a national championship is great, but there are also rewards that come from serving a mission."
Not that a national title is out of the question this year.
The Cougars (21-3 MPSF, 23-4 overall) have held the No. 1 national ranking for 11 of the 15 regular-season weeks, including the final seven weeks.
But they did not play especially well in Saturday's five-set win over Hawaii, and Patch and coach Chris McGown said they will have to play much better Thursday to beat UCLA, which has won 10 of its last 11 matches, including a 3-0 win over Pepperdine on Saturday when BYU was struggling at home against the Warriors.
UCLA (16-8, 21-10) ended BYU's 12-match win streak with a 3-0 sweep at Pauley Pavilion on April 6, avenging a 3-0 loss on Feb. 9 to the Cougars in Provo.
"We really want to win this game," Patch said. "We want to get UCLA. They swept us last time, and we have a debt we owe them. So this is a big one for us, because if we win we will knock them out of the [NCAA] Tournament and end their season."
Most experts believe top-ranked BYU has already clinched at least an at-large berth in the NCAA men's volleyball Final Four, which will be played May 2 and 4 on UCLA's home court. The Bruins, who placed fourth in the MPSF regular-season race, probably have to win the conference tournament to get there.
"Everybody needs to be who they are," McGown said. "And if we do that, I think we will be in good shape. We have a nice game plan figured out, and UCLA is going to have a nice game plan figured out. We know who they are, and they know who we are. It will come down to executing the little things and maintaining our poise and composure."

Scubapro Ladyhawk BCD with Air 2 Alternate Inflator Large Black/Gray
Dive Pink & Fight Breast Cancer. Includes a $40 Donation.
Dive Pink & Fight Breast Cancer. Includes a $40 Donation.
This superior women's BC teams all the technical features you need in a back flotation jacket yet with a female-specific cut and design. This back flotation jacket is thoughtfully tailored to enhance the female diver's experience and represents a new dimension in optimized load distribution, freedom of movement and comfort. A robust and comfortable back flotation jacket that integrates numerous performance features to deliver outstanding comfort and easy handling. The Ladyhawk's retractable air bladder offers ultimate streamlining and significantly reduces drag. The Ladyhawk is equipped with Scubapro's Balanced Power Inflator, has two rollup zippered pockets, Four Stainless Steel D-rings for attachment of accessories, a sturdy Stainless Steel Tank Attachment System, and a comfortable neck roll of soft neoprene with a special foam back pad, making it the BCD of choice.
Back flotation technology positions air bladder in the back, providing exceptional freedom of movement around chest and shoulders. Streamlined air cell technology and automatic volume control of air cell through compression straps provide a low profile throughout the dive. Rotating Quick Release shoulder buckles and adjustable shoulder straps, adjustable sternum strap and waist strap with cummerbund all improve fit. All these straps are equipped with squeeze-style" quick release buckles for easy donning and doffing.
Soft neoprene neck roll and padded back pad provide skin-friendly padding. Firmly padded, flexible cummerbund compensates for changes in the suit resulting from varying depths. Ergonomic harness incorporates anatomically-shaped components to allow for even load distribution. Quick-release integrated weight system offers more comfort and convenience. Pouches accommodate 10lb (4.54kg) each and are secured in specially-designed pockets with oversized buckles. Two rear trim pockets counterbalance front weights and provide a well-balanced swimming position with 8lbs to 10lbs (3.6kg to 4.54kg) capacity depending on BCD size. Built-to-last from 1000-denier nylon outer bladder and 420-denier nylon inner, with urethane laminate interior and radio frequency (RF) welded seams for maximum resistance to punctures and abrasion.
For proper buoyancy control the Knighthawk BCD comes standard with Scubapro's Balanced Power Inflator and has a 3-dump deflation system that enables divers to dump air from a variety of underwater positions. In the up-right position you can use either the left-or-right shoulder pull-dumps with the right shoulder pull cord or the left shoulder integrated cable activated power inflator shoulder dump. When inverted in the water the lower left rear pull dump can facilitate buoyancy trim. The BCD provides 33.7lbs (15.3kg) of lift. The Ladyhawk weighs from 7.2lbs to 8.13lbs (3.261kg to 3.68kg) size dependent. BCD comes with a 3/8" threaded low pressure quick-disconnect hose, owner's manual, is black in color and is covered by a 24 month limited warranty. < br>
The Ladyhawk BCD comes equipped with Scubapro's AIR2 Breathable Inflator. When you took dive lessons you learned to perform specific skills to make you safe and comfortable underwater and at the surface. One of those skills was buoyancy control. Once you start diving for fun you use your buoyancy control devise constantly throughout the dive. Your octopus or alternate air source devise on the other hand is never used unless there is an emergency out-of-air situation. Reacting properly in an out of air situation can make the difference between an eventful dive and a tragedy. If your alternate air source and your BCD inflator devise are one and the same you will always know where to find it in an emergency. AIR2 is more than a simple inflator. Its components design takes advantage from the best regulator technology to guarantee maximum efficiency and reliability. As an inflator AIR2 provides perfect pressure control for a great buoyancy management. Ergonomic shape makes it easy-to-handle in any circumstances and it can be emptied by simply pressing the exhaust button.
AIR2's air balanced power inflator provides smooth and reliable inflation at all tank pressures. Single hose configuration eliminates the need for a separate alternate air source. Fixed VIVA flow vane for safe and uncomplicated use one-hand operation for instinctive and simple operation the self-flushing mechanism requires just one push on the purge to clear away all dirt. The AIR2 uses a classic downstream valve for less maintenance and reliability. The housing is a precision molded carbon fiber and techno-polymer impact resistant design that weighs 6.7 oz (190 g). The AIR2 comes with a 3/8" threaded 27.56" (70 cm) high-flow low-pressure hose and owner's manual.
DIVE PINK & FIGHT BREST CANCER! For every Pink BCD $40 will be donated to fight breast cancer.
This product has a limited warranty of 12 months.

Very poor design! air collects ion the left side of the back inflate and while i have had it serviced TWICE in the first year of ownership the air does not completely leave the BC during descent causing unplanned surfacing during safety stops---I am an experienced diver and have to really work to get the air out of the bc completely...stlll some lingers on the left side--back inflate is also problematic when on surface for long intervels.Pocket weights also tend to fall out. We can do so much better at this price, this is all show, no substance!

Brevard, N.C. – The Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne University won both games of a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader over Brevard College, 9-7 and 6-4, Saturday at Gil Coan Field. LRU closer Max Loveland (Bradenton, Fla.) saved both games for the visitors.
The Tornados fall to 7-17 (1-9 SAC) with the losses, while the Bears improve to 19-6 and stay perfect in the SAC with a 5-0 record.
Game One – Lenoir-Rhyne 9, Brevard 7
Chris Tucker (Hawthorne, N.Y.) scored three times for the Bears, while Michael Pleau (Vero Beach, Fla.) tallied three RBIs. All ten Tornado position players had a hit, including Stephen Mullis (Charlotte, N.C.), who had two base knocks and two RBIs.
Blake Edmonson (3-0; Newton, N.C.) pitched 2 1/3 innings of relief to pick up the win, while Tornado starter Seth Laughter (1-3; Fletcher, N.C.) was the losing pitcher after allowing eight runs (five earned) in 6 2/3 innings. Loveland allowed just one hit in the ninth to slam the door on a comeback.
The Bears got on the board first, as a single from Alex Cooks (Tampa, Fla.) brought a run home in the top of the 1st inning. But Mullis brought Brevard back in the bottom half, with a two-run home run over the right field fence off of LRU starter Chris Henderson (Linconton, N.C.).
The Bears retook the lead in the 2nd with a pair of runs. Pleau had an RBI single, while Tucker scored on a wild pitch to make the score 3-2. The Tornados tied the game, however, in the 4th, when Josh Miller (Hendersonville, N.C.) singled home Jackie Corn (Hendersonville, N.C.).
Both teams scored three times in the 6th inning. After a one-out single, Loveland stole two bases and scored on Tornado catcher Jason Merrill's (Hendersonville, N.C.) throwing error to give the Bears and a lead. The other two runs scored on a double from Pleau to make the score 6-3.
The resilient Tornados tied the game in the bottom half. Kellen Moman (Greenville, S.C.) and Brice Warner (Clover, S.C.) notched RBI hits, and Adam Arrowood scored on a two-out error by 2nd baseman Hank Wofford (Clover, S.C.) to make the tally even at 6.
Lenoir-Rhyne scored twice in the 7th. Loveland and Zach Glass (Salisbury, N.C.) each had an RBI single, making the score 8-6. The Bears tacked on another run in the 8th off of Tornado reliever Jacob White (Elkin, N.C.) on a sac fly from Wofford.
Brevard got their final run in the bottom of the 8th, when M.A. Dozier (Cumming, Ga.) homered off of Edmonson, hit first blast of the season. But Loveland closed the door in the ninth to prevent a comeback.
Game Two – Lenoir-Rhyne 6, Brevard 4 (7 inn.)
Will Moseley (3-0; Shreveport, La.) was the winning pitcher for the Bears, allowing four runs and 11hits in five innings, while Shane Galloway (2-3; Rosman, N.C.) took the loss after giving up six runs (three earned) in 5 2/3 innings. Glass had 2 RBIs for the Bears, while William Scholer (Norwalk, Iowa) drove home two for Brevard.
Lenoir-Rhyne put the first runs on the board in the 2nd. Glass tallied an RBI groundout and Brian Dice (Hickory, N.C.) a sac fly to make the score 2-0.
Brevard came back with a run in the bottom half, when a fielder's choice from Scholer brought Merrill to the plate, cutting the lead in half.
The big inning for the road nine was the 3rd. Rob Knight singled a run home and later scored on a Brevard fielding error, while the always-pesky Loveland, who reached on the error, scored on a passed ball after swiping two more bags.
The Tornados also did serious damage in the 3rd. A five-hit inning, highlighted by RBI singles from Corn, and Scholer and a sac fly from Miller made the score 5-4.
The final run came for the Bears in the 6th, when Dice came through with a single to bring Glass to the plate. The Bears loaded the bases in the inning with two out, but Luke Smithson (Mills River, N.C.) came on in relief to shut the door and pitch a scoreless 7th. Unfortunately for the Tornados, however, the relief combination of Tony Garcia (Valrico, Fla.) and Loveland kept the home team at bay to preserve Lenoir-Rhyne's win.
In addition to his two saves on the mound, Loveland was 4-8 at the plate with four runs, an RBI, and six stolen bases.
The Tornados and Bears conclude their three-game series Sunday at 1 p.m.

Miu Miu Spring 2014 Runway Show | Paris Fashion Week
Miu Miu Spring 2014: The Sweet Escape
Miuccia Prada laid the groundwork for her Spring 2014 Miu Miu collection with the inventive decor for the show, giving the audience a glimpse at the charming prints to come with wallpaper panels. The coats were a clear standout of the cheerful show, with animal motifs emblazoned the sides of swingy single breasted styles while red trim and oversize buttons gave a charming gamine quality to a long navy peacoat. But if you're more in the mood to party, there were party dresses galore from puff-ball strapless dress with incredible ruching to give volume while maintaining a sense of lightness to slinky little beaded slipdresses with enough beaded tassels and fringe to satisfy anyone's inner Daisy Buchanan (or the jam-packed front row including Prada fans Michelle Dockery and Lena Dunham). It's not often than a collection is wearable and covetable, but we're starting a fantasy fund for that cat-print coat right now.

There is maybe some case for kids competing in amateur MMA, but there are some very strong arguments against them fighting in a pro scenario. The biggest being that it could bring the sport some really bad publicity. The sensationalist newspapers would have a field day. "14 year old child to participate in Caged Human cock fight" Hardly the sort of thing the sport needs right now.
I think it is a really, really bad idea and I can't see why the promotor would want a kid fighting anyway.
I Do Not Run A Caged Cock Fighting Event, The Local Media Who Support My Show And The Sport Know That.otherwise They Wouldnt Be Giving Me An Mma Talk Show On A New Major Talk Radio Station.or Be Covering Junior Fighters In The Press.
Junior Contests Are Amateur Rules(no Head Shots, Heel Locks Etc), Giving Highly Talented Mma Stars Of The Future Valuable "big Crowd Experience At An Early Age".
I Believe The Injury Risk Are The Same As Any Physical Sport Never Mind Combat Sports.
Cage Gladiators(other Shows Have Done It For Some Time) Have Included Some Junior Bouts Not For Financial Gain But To Nurture Local Future Talent.
Wolfslair And Next Generation Have Some Serious Young Talent, This Just Emphasises The Strength Of Future And Present Liverpool Mma.
I Appreciate Peoples Concearns But There Are Some Really Ignorant Posts In This Thread.

No, there's no evidence that starting with sweet foods encourages a baby to have a sweet tooth.
Some nutritionists do say it's better to introduce vegetables first, so your baby doesn't get hooked on the taste of fruit and not want to try vegetables.
But other nutritionists think fruit is the most logical choice for a first solid food because breast milk and formula are both sweet, and babies naturally prefer sweet food. Its sweetness is familiar, they say, so your baby will want to dig right in.
Whichever you choose, don't give up if your baby seems to dislike a particular vegetable or fruit. Studies show that infants are more likely to accept new foods after tasting them numerous times.
Talk to your child's doctor about the best way to include a healthy variety in your baby's diet.

FONTANA -; There won't be any fireworks show in the city this year -- for the second year in a row.
That's after 20 consecutive years of fireworks shows in the city, with several years of that happening at Auto Club Speedway.
In 2012, the show was caught up in a lawsuit about noise levels at the Auto Club Dragway, but officials had expected the show to resume this year. With that loss came a loss of sponsors that wasn't overcome this year.
"Last year, we couldn't get things in place in time to have a show, and this year there just wasn't any interest sponsor-wise," said Speedway spokesman David Talley. "Hopefully, we'll have sponsor interest for next year."
That means no fireworks show in the city, once known for one of the largest local events, said Mayor Acquanetta Warren.
"I never make plans because I have a fireworks show to go to -- but suddenly, I don't," Warren said. "We would love to have those shows because they're great and also because they help keep people out of trouble."
The City Council has told staff to look for options for next year, including scheduling meetings with Fontana Unified School District officials.
For years, Fontana High School hosted a sold-out show.
"It got too big to handle, so we were happy when the Speedway said they could do it," Warren said. "Maybe we can go back to that."

Transit of Venus is Tuesday evening – your next chance to see it will be in 105 years
By Steven Powell, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1923
USC is preparing to showcase one of the rarest of astronomical events on Tuesday, June 5. If you can't catch the Venus transit of the sun then, you'll need an extended calendar to mark the next opportunity: December 2117.
But for those who would rather not wait more than a century, the staff of the Melton Memorial Observatory is holding a special observation session in the Wardlaw College parking lot Tuesday, starting at 5 p.m. In addition, the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library has mounted an exhibit that chronicles the history surrounding the event.
"The Venus transit begins at about 6:05 p.m., but we're planning to set up in the Wardlaw lot earlier, at 5 p.m., and we'll be observing the sun until sundown, which is about 8:30 p.m.," said Alex Mowery, director of the observatory. "The transit actually continues until after midnight, but from this part of the globe we'll only be able to see the first few hours of it because the sun will go below the horizon."
The transit of Venus is the movement of Venus across the disk of the sun. Venus orbits closer to the sun than earth, and on rare occasions the planet lines up directly between the sun and the earth. In principle, it's similar to a solar eclipse, in which the moon lines up between the earth and sun.
The primary difference is how much of the sun each obscures. Venus is much larger than the moon, but also much further away. So while the moon can totally obscure the sun (a total eclipse), a transit of Venus looks like a small black disk moving across the sun over the course of several hours.
The trick is to be able to view it safely, because permanent blindness can result from improperly observing the sun. "It's not safe to watch it with the naked eye," Mowery said. "We've ordered 25 pairs of glasses that you can use to safely watch the transit, and we'll have telescopes set up with filters for safe viewing."
"Our camera will be transmitting the whole event, too, and if you go to our website you can watch the whole thing," said Mowery. "We're also planning to stay later than sundown and look at Mars and Saturn from the Wardlaw parking lot."
The first recorded observation of the transit of Venus was in Persia in 1032. In the 17th century, astronomers became interested in observing the event because careful measurements would allow the calculation of the distance from the earth to the sun.
Since then, a range of monographs have detailed this exceedingly rare occurrence. Some of the selected books on display in the Hollings Library in "The Transit of Venus in Books from the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections" detail and predict transits centuries into the future. These rare 18th- and 19th-century volumes are from the Robert B. Ariail Collection of Historical Astronomy.
Among the items on display are Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr's "Atlas Coelestis" (1742), in which he predicts the transit of Venus on June 6, 1761, in a diagram, and "Transits of Venus," a book written by popular astronomer Richard A. Proctor around the time of the 1874 transit that included sketches of what the 2004 and 2012 transits would look like.
"An Account of the Voyages Undertaken by the Order of His Present Majesty for Making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere," published in 1773, includes Captain James Cook's extensive account of first building an observatory to view the coming transit in 1769 and, a few pages later, a succinct and very different entry about the same event by botanist Joseph Banks.
More contemporary books, including Andrea Wulf's just-released "Chasing Venus: The Race to Measure the Heavens," are also part of the exhibit.
The exhibit is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays in the Hollings Library, which is accessible through Thomas Cooper Library.

text: Perry McDonaldBasketball PlayerGeorge Washington Carver HS/Georgetown UniversityInducted: 2009Critics said he couldn't shoot. But, oh, could he score!A sensational four-year high-school basketball career propelled Perry McDonald to legendary athletic status in the Desire area of New Orleans. Couple that with a collegiate career as part of one of the most successful basketball programs of the 1980s and McDonald's induction into the Allstate Sugar Bowl Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame is a no-brainer.McDonald was a four-time all-state selection at George Washington Carver High School from 1980 to 1984. Through athleticism, determination and toughness, he amassed 2,227 points for a career average of 23.9 points a game. In 1983 and 1984, he was the Times-Picayune's Metro Most Valuable Player.The 1984 season was perhaps his best as he led Carver to a 23-3 record including 17 victories in a row. The Rams reached the quarterfinal round of the state playoffs, losing to eventual state runner-up Booker T. Washington.After his sterling high school career, McDonald played his college basketball at Georgetown University under the direction of Hall of Fame coach John Thompson. He played in all 38 games during his freshman season, helping the Hoyas reach the Final Four where they were upset in an unforgettable final by Villanova.After a back injury limited his sophomore season, 1986 was his breakthrough year. Though standing only six-four, McDonald was moved from the backcourt to the frontcourt and he averaged 13 points and six rebounds and was named Second Team All-Big East as well as honorable mention All America.McDonald made his mark on the defensive end of the court at Georgetown. As the Hoyas designated "defensive stopper," his assignments ranged from point guards to centers. In a 1987 contest against high-powered Syracuse, Thompson put McDonald in the low post against 6-11 center Rony Seikaly. Seikaly managed just four field goals and McDonald's turnaround jumper at the buzzer in overtime gave Georgetown a thrilling two-point win.Later that season, the Hoyas again topped the Orangemen, this time at the Carrier Dome, thanks to a career-high 26 points from the New Orleans-product in a 72-71 win.Prior to his senior season at Georgetown, McDonald was selected to represent the United States in the 1987 World University Games. He scored 18 points in the medal round win over Cuba and finished fourth in scoring ahead of future NBA stars Sean Elliott and B. J. Armstrong.As a senior at Georgetown, McDonald, now a team captain, again averaged in double figures in scoring to go with six rebounds per game - leading the Hoyas on the glass for the second consecutive season. More importantly, he again led his squad to the NCAA Tournament, marking his fourth appearance in the Big Dance in four years of action.As part of Georgetown's centennial basketball celebration, the school selected the top 100 players in the history of the school. McDonald was number 30 on the list. He was recognized as the epitome of the hard-nosed, physical skills of the great Georgetown teams of the 1980s.

MBTA Fare Vending Machines Heading to Fenway Park
Authority OK's 5 million new Charlie Cards
Enlarge Image
Charlie Comes to Fenway Park
Courtesy of Boston Globe , August 15, 2007
By Ryan Haggerty, Globe Correspondent
The MBTA yesterday approved the purchase of 5 million new Charlie Cards based on increased demand and announced that five fare vending machines will be installed in Fenway Park by Friday.
The machines inside the ballpark will accept credit and debit cards only, said Daniel A. Grabauskas, general manager of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. "We want to maximize convenience," Grabauskas said by telephone yesterday. "If someone wants to take time during the seventh-inning stretch to get the card loaded up for the return trip, they can go ahead and do that."
The machines will be located near Fenway's busiest gates, said Janet Marie Smith, the Red Sox's senior vice president of planning and development. Gates A and C will have two machines each, while Gate E will have one machine, she said.
"We have wanted to put the machines into Fenway Park since [the MBTA] announced that they were changing from the tokens to the new system," Smith said. "We're thrilled that after all these years of waiting, they're here. We want people to use them."
Grabauskas encouraged people to put enough money on their card for a round trip before going to a game, but he said the new machines should allow people who forget to put enough money on their card to reload without waiting in line at machines in nearby T stations.
Lee Matsueda, a community organizer with the T Riders Union, said the MBTA must ensure that people who rely primarily on buses are able to purchase the cards at convenient locations within their communities. "It's a concern of a lot of the riders we work with that there needs to be a lot of these fare machines, not only in Fenway Park, but in areas that aren't necessarily close to train stations," Matsueda said. "They're investing a whole bunch of cash in these new cards, and we're just hoping they invest in making people aware of where they can buy the cards."
"The MBTA is exploring the possibility of installing new machines at healthcare and educational institutions across Boston," said Joe Pesaturo, a T spokesman.
The MBTA's Board of Directors also approved a $4.2 million contract with a subsidiary of a German company that will produce up to 5 million new Charlie Cards over the next three years at its plant in Twinsburg, Ohio. Each card will cost the MBTA 79 cents, the lowest per-card rate of any major public transportation system in the country, Grabauskas said.
The contract with Giesecke & Devrient America, Inc. -- which has manufactured cards for public transit systems in London, Chicago, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. -- also allows the MBTA to order about $200,000 worth of specialty Charlie Cards used to commemorate historical events or promote the T. The contract "should give us more than enough cards to last us through the next several years," Grabauskas said. "We'll be handing out fewer and fewer as time goes on, but we'll always have people coming into town for a weekend or a weeklong vacation, so we know there will always be a demand."
More than 2 million Charlie Cards have been handed out since December 2006, and 1.4 million of those are used at least once a month on buses or trains, Grabauskas said. More than 60 percent of subway and bus riders use a Charlie Card daily, said Grabuaskas.

Katy Perry Signed Her and Russell Brand's Divorce Settlement With a Smiley Face
Katy Perry and Russell Brand have signed their divorce settlement—she with a smiley face. Happy times?
-Lucia Peters
Well, that was certainly fast by divorce standards: Instead of having their divorce proceedings drag on and on and on, Katy Perry and Russell Brand have signed their settlement just over a month after they announced that they were splitting up. I'm not really sure if "good for them" is the appropriate phrase to use in this situation, but… good for them. For getting it done quickly and cleanly, that is.
According to People, Katy and Russell have reached "a comprehensive written settlement of all issues" as of Tuesday this week. Since they don't have any kids, the agreement covers distribution of their property. Russell, notably, did not try to get any money out of Katy; given that she's worth $44 million, while he's estimated at $15 million, AND they didn't sign a prenup, that's pretty big of him. Technically, he's entitled to half of whatever she earned during the course of their marriage—but he didn't try to wring it out of her.

And hey, guess what? Katy even signed the papers with a smiley face! Check it out (Naturally, the folks at TMZ were the ones who managed to get a hold of the document. They always are, aren't they?):
Does it seem a little weird to be signing a set of divorce papers with a smiley face? Maybe, but maybe not. Bear in mind that the smiley face is an element of Katy's standard autograph, so it's likely that, like all of us, she goes on autopilot when she signs things and her hand just does what it does. Then again, if separating will make both of them happier, then hey, smiley faces all round!
Katy, by the way, is also legally restoring her maiden name to Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. Onward and upward, right?
