The first question:
Osho,I myself am a question. I know not who I am. What to do? Where to go?
Remain with the question. Don't do anything, and don't go anywhere; and don't start believing in any answer. Remain with the question. That is one of the most difficult things to do - to remain with a question, and not to seek the answer; because the mind is very cunning, it can supply a false answer. It can console you; it can give you something to cling to; and then the question is not answered but suppressed. Then you go on believing in the answer, and the question remains deep down in your unconsciousness like a wound. The healing has not happened.
If you remain with the question, I'm not saying that you will receive the answer. Nobody has ever received any answer. If you remain with the question, by and by the question disappears. Not that the answer is received; there is no answer. There cannot be, because life is a mystery. If there is any answer, then life will not be a mystery.
It has no answer to it, it cannot be solved. It is not a puzzle, it is a mystery. And that is the difference between a puzzle and a mystery. A puzzle can be solved, howsoever difficult it is to solve. A mystery cannot be solved - not that it is difficult. It is very simple, but its nature is such that it cannot be solved.
Remain with the question - alert, aware, not seeking, not trying to find an answer. Very arduous it is, but if you can do that.it can be done. I have done it. And all those who have dissolved their questions have done it. The very awareness, the fire of awareness, burns the question. The sun of awareness melts the question; it disappears, it evaporates. One day, suddenly, you find you are there, and the question is not there. Not that the question is replaced by an answer. There is none. But the question has simply disappeared. You are there and without a question. That is the answer.
You, without a question, is The answer. Not that you will be able to say who you are - you will laugh at the very question. The question has become absurd. In the first place, the very asking was wrong. But right now you cannot understand that; you have to ask. You have to ask very intensely. Ask the question, but don't ask for the answer.

Best selling author Tom Clancy dies at age 66
(Baltimore, MD) -- Best-selling author Tom Clancy is dead at the age of 66. He will be best remembered for his military-themed books, which were then turned into Hollywood blockbusters. "The Hunt for Red October," "Patriot Games" and "The Sum of All Fears" were all hits on the silver screen. His publisher confirms he died last night in a Baltimore-area hospital. Clancy's name was also used on a handful of long-running video game franchises, such as "Rainbow Six," "Ghost Recon" and "Splinter Cell."
Clancy was also part owner of Major League Baseball's Baltimore Orioles. He also had brief dealings with the National Football League. Clancy reached an agreement in the late 1990s to buy the Minnesota Vikings, but ultimately had to abandon the deal due to a costly divorce.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Thursday April 28th, 2011 12:46am
Sources are telling Inside Lacrosse that the University of Michigan athletics department is preparing to announce the addition of men's and women's lacrosse programs, with the men's team to begin NCAA Division I play in time for the spring 2012 season, and the women's team in 2013.
Because of the advanced schedule on the men's side, officials within the department will begin preparing for next season as early as next week, though a formal announcement may be as much as a month away, sources say.
This confirmation brings to an end years of speculation that the MCLA powerhouse would join the DI ranks, as well as culminating a decade-long quest for coach John Paul. A key turning point was the arrival of new athletic director Dave Brandon, who took over on January 25, 2010, and has made several public comments about the prospect of DI lacrosse at Michigan, speaking to IL about it last December.
The shift in Michigan's departmental outlook created an opportunity that just four years ago, Paul was speaking about in the abstract. In a 2007 Inside Lacrosse magazine feature on the growth of lacrosse at the DI men's level Paul told Geoff Shannon: "We knew the realities were that this would be a remote possibility. But now with the way the sport has grown, and the way our program has evolved, there's some momentum. Not that there is a formal proposal or a plan in place, but the athletic administration knows lacrosse and sees the potential.
In September 2010, however, Paul spoke more specifically about the hurdles his program faced in trying to make a jump to DI, saying, "At the major [FBS] football schools, it's a completely different business model than everything else in college athletics. For a big school, it doesn't make as much sense, from a business perspective, to add $2, 3 or 4 million to the budget to add a men's and women's program if they're not going to get a return on that."
This announcement comes after a major accelerated fundraising effort, which represented the final hurdle for the Wolverines, sources say.
In recent years, Michigan has emerged as a powerful force in the lacrosse world. Since 2008, the Wolverines are 70-1 with three straight MCLA championships, and are off to a 13-0 start this season. Four Wolverines were named MCLA All-Americans in '09, and eight were named in '10. Former Michigan face-off specialist Brekan Kohlitz was the first MCLA player drafted to the MLL in 2008. More recently, they've utilized their rising profile and proximity to Warrior (headquartered in nearby Warren, Mich.) to furnish the program with cutting-edge gear.
The team's final regular season contest is Saturday versus Toledo, and they'll be a heavy favorite entering the MCLA tournament.
The announcement comes after High Point's September 2010 and Marquette's December 2010 announcements that they'd be sponsoring NCAA DI men's lacrosse in 2013, the previously rumored start date for Michigan. With Presbyterian recently shuttering their men's lacrosse team, the Wolverines will be the 61st NCAA program next year, with the total bumping to 63 the following season.
Michigan is the first FBS school to add men's lacrosse since Notre Dame did it in 1981.
Questions still remain over how the coaching staff will take shape, though it's expected Paul will remain head coach and retain assistant Ken Broschart. As a public university, however, Michigan will have to publicly list the job.

Millions of Workers Lack Tools for Economic Success, Need Better Skills and Wages
Aug 28, 2013
Across the country, students are headed back to college this week, continuing on a path to increase their job prospects and earnings potential. We've long known that workers with higher levels of education have greater earnings and lower unemployment rates than less educated workers. And a recent report by the Economic Policy Institute shows that education strengthens not just the individual, but entire communities, with a clear and strong link between the education level of a state's workforce and the state's median wages.
Though many states have increased the skills of their workforce, millions of workers still lack the education and training necessary for economic success. New state profiles from the Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS) and the Center on Postsecondary and Economic Success (C-PES) at CLASP describe just how many workers need better skills and wages in each state. This "target population" is the number of adult workers (ages 25-64) who are without two or four-year college degrees or have limited English skills and who earn less than the state median wage, or are in the labor force but have not worked for the last year. The state profiles also show the employment status, education level, race/ethnicity, age, gender, and English language proficiency of this target population and whether they earn above or below poverty-level wages.
We find that the number of workers who need better skills and better wages tops more than one million in each of 14 states, and more than 500,000 in another 15 states. California, Texas, Florida, and New York have the largest numbers of workers needing access to postsecondary education, while Louisiana, Nevada, Alabama, and Arkansas have the highest percentages of workers in need.
We hope that these state profiles can help policymakers and advocates better understand the makeup of workers in their state, setting the foundation for new state funding, policies and systems that help more low-income and low-skilled workers get the education and training they need to be economically self-sufficient.
Career pathways--connected education and training services in an industry or field that enable workers to advance over time--are one approach that states have adopted to help achieve this goal. States are also implementing sector strategies, contextualized instruction, developmental education redesign, expanded financial aid and support services, and other approaches targeted at adult workers in need of better skills and wages. Faced with continuing budget pressures, policymakers should also consider strategies to align a range of private and public funding sources, such as the Workforce Investment Act, Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, the Higher Education Act, and state and local funding, with the end goal of helping many more workers secure credentials and family-sustaining employment.
See how many workers in your state could benefit from better skills and wages >>

SO THE political telegraph tells us that Assembly Speaker John A. Perez is on the White House list of potential labor secretaries.
Not that Perez would acknowledge it, even if true. That would be a breach of political decorum.
"Look, I'm always flattered if somebody thinks my work is worthy of other consideration, but I'm focused on being speaker for these next two years," he told The Bee. "And continuing to build back our economy, and continuing to build on the fiscal discipline that we've created here in California. And getting people back to work."
That said, were President Barack Obama to name P rez to his Cabinet, it would not only add more cement to Obama's relations with the fast-growing Latino community but would alleviate a political headache for Los Angeles County's single most influential political figure, Maria Elena Durazo, who heads the county Labor Federation.
Hilda Solis, a onetime congresswoman, resigned as labor secretary to return to Los Angeles and run for one of the five ultrapowerful seats on the county's Board of Supervisors next year. The incumbent, Gloria Molina, is being forced out by term limits.
Solis is Durazo's hand-picked candidate, and in the tightly knit Latino politics of Los Angeles, she's therefore considered a shoo-in.
Perez is also being forced out of the Assembly next year by term limits and there's no other office, such as a state Senate or congressional seat, immediately available in or around his central Los Angeles turf. A run for the Board of Supervisors would be his next natural step. For now, he has said he'd run were Solis not a candidate, but with her candidacy a virtual certainty, the Cabinet might be his only consolation prize.
There'd be a decidedly ironic element to such an appointment. Perez's cousin, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who'll also be termed out later this year, also has been casting around for another office to keep his up-and-down political career going.
Villaraigosa, who is personally close to Obama, had reportedly been seeking a Cabinet position himself, such as secretary of transportation. But that's not happening, for whatever reason - perhaps because he got himself photographed palling with Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen at the latter's opening of a new bar in Cabo San Lucas. It was not Villaraigosa's first foray into tabloid notoriety.
The mayor is now publicly boosting Perez for the Cabinet. "I heard my cousin by the way is on the list and I'm glad he is. I've said to a number of people he would make a great secretary of labor," Villaraigosa said in an online chat, adding, "I wish him luck."
And if it doesn't happen, what does an unemployed Assembly speaker do with himself?
Maybe he and Villaraigosa could do an L.A. spin-off of the cable TV show "Cousins on Call."

text: Apparently Brad Pitt now has a Chinese Twitter account. It is verified, so it really is him and he also says in his first Tweet that he is going to visit the country. He has been banned from visiting China since 1997, when Seven Years In Tibet was released. Time heals all wounds and also the thought of huge paychecks for doing commercials for Chinese companies had Brad kissing some serious butt. He says that he is now allowed to visit China again and that he is coming soon. He already has 140,000 followers and his Tweet has 14,000 comments.

Central location in the old town of the city. Very nice reception desk staff.
Breakfast ! We have a ruine house front of the windows...!!
Beautiful roof terrace, room was comfortable and bigger than expected. Bath was dirty and shower pressure was very weak.
Friendly helpful staff. Convenient central location
The balconies they have in each room. A nice break. The rooms were basic, good but not wow. The breakfast was pretty unimpressive!
The location was excellent for sightseeing. The hotel was quite beautiful and the breakfast was very good. The staff was not particularly helpful or friendly. The hotel was attractive but not particularly enticing or comfortable. Our room was substandard dark and dreary.
Staff at desk. Very inpolite and unhelpful.
Nice room. Not very big with nice terrace. Very good breakfast. Globally a beautiful classic hotel. Thw water wasn't draining away in the shower. Some ventilation problem in the room.
The ambience and location of the hotel. Staff were very helpful, especially the bar staff. We loved our stay there; it was one of the best hotels we stayed in during three weeks' travel around Italy. The water pressure in our shower on the 4th was inadequate.
convenience & comfort
The staff is awesome - they went out of their way to help with our special requests and multiple change of plans Nothing
The roof terrace was lovely with amazing views over the city. The hotel was in a central position with easy access to the train station. The staff were really friendly and helpfull.
Helpful reception and breakfast staff. Central location. It was noisy with bulding work in the light well commencing at 6.45 AM by throwing bricks into a wheelbarrow. We were in room 508. Also pillows were rock hard.
We like the room which is good value for the price. It seems recently renovated and it's nice to have high ceiling. The terrace at the top where we had breakfast is really nice. The hotel is hard to get to. We got stuck in a traffic jam in center of town. There's so many one way streets and we got lost many times. The parking garage is not exactly close by. Inside the room, the shower door does not close properly and the drain is slow. That was a bit annoying.
The Hotel's location and was impressed by its cleanliness
The staff was just superb. Friendly, helpful and always available. The roof top lounge was a real treat with stunning views of the old city. We enjoyed it for breakfast and wine in the evening. Our room was lovely, small fridge, very nicely appointed. Great location for exploring the markets, port and other important sites in old Palermo.
Short walk from the train/bus station. Close to restaurants and sights. Great views from the rooftop restaurant. Room was a good size. Bathroom is a little cramped. Shower only. Wifi can be a little spotty during busy times. Saturday night can be a little bit noisy from the bars outside, but no problems other times.
The position of the hotel is convenient for the major sights and transport. The view from the roof while we had breakfast was breathtaking We got back to the hotel late and a machine selling hot or cold drinks would have been welcome as the mini bar was empty
A good location besides train station There are PUBs nearby the hotel and it is noisy at night!!
Close to Stations. Panorama from terrace
convenient location near to station and main tourist sites, great roof terrace for breakfast/evening drinks, friendly and helpful staff Some noise at night from street bars.
In the bathroom, the shower was difficult to adjust (to turn on/off and temperature-wise) and there was a problem with the sink plug.
After booking at an already competitive rate, I was delighted to get an upgrade (late August, city centres in Italy are devoid of italians/business travellers so hotels have more availability) and it was a room at the back so very quiet and overlooking the roof of a big church and just wonderful. Their restaurant was also the one which served us the best meal of the whole week in Sicily and the staff were helpful with choices of wine and food. Hotel staff also recommended us a local car rental which proved in turn to be very competitively priced and helpful too. Oh and it couldn't have been more central. It is spread over 2 buildings so there was a slightly roundabout route to our room but that was not a problem.
The staff were extremely helpful at Quintocanto. Alitalia lost our bags and the hotel staff tracked them down for us and made sure they were there before our departure (trust me, it didn't look promising). In the meantime, my wife and I had an excuse to enjoy the shopping in the area and relaxed with an excellent massage in the spa. The prices are reasonable, the location is excellent, and the service is even better. We did not have a car, but I can imagine that parking in the area would be difficult.
Best location for sight seeing. The restaurant was excellent. They had a wifi access, but I could not get connected for some reason. The hotel staff said it was something wrong with my PC or sofrware. It could have been helpful if there is some kind of written instruction.
I like its central location, its parking service, and its looks. Maybe the lack of light in our room.
Great and very central location, clean and new both in the rooms and the common areas, tasteful and functional decoration (but not cold or without character). Good breakfast, at least for general Italian standards (that is, do not expect a huge buffet but it is also not the regular croissant - jam - coffee kind of minimal Italian breakfast). There was some construction noise, which we also saw in other reviews from September 2010, but thought would be over by our trip (which was mid-November). Unfortunately it was not the case. Having read about it on booking.com, we had requested a room away from the construction work when booking, but that did not happen. We understand from the hotell staff that it is from a neighbouring building so they do not have much control, but it would be good if they could speak to the neighbours and have the noise at least not before 10 am (it started at around 8.30).
Relatively modern hotel in the middle of Palermo. Breakfast was great! No Tea or coffee available in the rooms, Resturant closed on our second night.
very nice hotel, the staff was friendly, attentive and helpful especially in breakfast room, the outstanding reasturant. very spacious bathroom. double room was not enough spacious
The Bye Bye Blues restaurant was absolutely outstanding and a wonderful surprise. We did not expect to find a restaurant of such a high standing in Palermo. Also being a coeliac I was very impressed to find that there was gluten free bread for me at breakfast and at dinner. Excellent service. Also the bathrooms were fabulous with magnificent large shower heads which gave the best shower. There is nothing negative that I could say about the hotel, staff or restaurant. I would definitely stay there again.
The room was beautiful though absolutely no view.Bathroom was like a spa. Sheets and bed were wonderful. Decor was far more elegant than expected. Spa also is beautiful. Need more staff at night and during the summer. They were overworked and it led to an extremely slow resolution of problems with the internet and phone etc. The houseman was delivering room service and getting parked cars. It was
This is one of the best hotels we have stayed at. We travel quite a lot and this hotel is definitely one that we would like to recommend. We stayed in a Deluxe room, with a separate jacuzzi room. We also had dinner in the hotel restaurant and can recommend this to anyone staying at the hotel and not wanting to go out and hunt for a top-restaurant. Breakfast was not top (choice of food) - but was it was fresh. No glasses in the room/mini-bar...
We have enjoyed the hotel which is clean, new, central, quit - just beautiful.
the location and design of the hotel was excellent. as was the reception staff - very helpful with enquiries re restaurants, trains, buses etc. the breakfast was quite poor. on 2 days we were seated at tables with stained table cloths - should never be allowed. the scrambled eggs were lumpy and watery - no resemblence to scrambled eggs at all.
Nicely appointed rooms in great location. Friendly, helpful staff. not their fault, but there was a power blackout one night.
Gorgeous, clean, great location and felt safe. A true gem. I can't wait to go back.
The architecture of the hotel and the elegance of the rooms.Very quiet and discrete place to be in the heart of the city of Palermo.Excellent value for the money. The quality of the breakfast is improvable.
Very good value for money, perfect location (in ther heart of the city), kind staff and very good breakfast. Maybe a little bit noisy in the morning when staff clean rooms from the upper floor.
Location was very good, 400 yards from the main central train station in Palermo. We stayed in room 14 where the window faced a brick wall. No air supply into the room and although the rooms are advised to be soundproof they are not. The rooms don't have proper doors and you can see into the corridor through the crack in the door. Room was dusty and not cleaned properly. Only one very dangerous plug socket to use between the two of us, which the TV and lamps where also plugged into with an adapter. Bathroom very old and dated not very comforting. Hotel didn't advise that a school group would be staying in room 15 on our last night so was very noisy.
Great location, close to main station and shopping area
Central location, cleanliness and good breakfast No
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Excellent location. Beds are very soft.
The breakfast The worst night ever. Via Roma is a highway at night, therefore, impossible to sleep. The old mattress with the feeling of spring that gets into your skin does not help the situation. The bathroom, covered with mold and hair was just disgusting. I do not understand how customers can leave good comments about this hotel. The price is not worth the effort, believe me!
Location. The room we had bookined for our friend had a shower that did not work well. Hotel adjusted the price for him.
Good location, close to Palermo Central rail station. Staff helpful and friendly. Room was on the small side.
The location was very nice. Very close to the traing station Easy access to all the attrications . Close to restaurants and staff Was awesome. The Shower was very small.
Situation near station, airy clean rooms, nice breakfast
Location; Helpful, friendly staff - we were able to leave our luggage after checking out to collect later; Full of character - loved the lift! but with modern facilities and comfort; Good breakfast;
the location the "continental breakfast"
The room was basic, practical and very clean and comfortable I was asked for passport and expected to leave it at Reception without any knowledge of when it would be returned as hotel manager, I didn't speak Italian, hotel manager no English, frustrating.. Breakfast was very paltry, tea awful (powdered I think); warmed up fresh pastry, nice but no alternative, but acceptable.Thank you
nice staff, central location in an old town, many bars and restaurants nearby, walking distance to main historic attractions no lift, it is difficult if you have a heavy bag
The family maneger It is not find easily,
Parking Terrible. Clastrophobic room, near a construction site in the day, and a club in the night - so noisy!
Central location excellent as just a couple of minutes from 4 Corners and close to Teatro Massimo,tourist sights and lively alfresco eating area at night time.Room was clean and balcony had views of Mt.Pellegrino.Family staff very friendly and generally helpful. Room a bit small.Air-Con wasn't the best considering the heat.Breakfast frugal(coffee and croissant).
Very good location: it was close to Quattro Canti and all the major Palermo sites are easily accessible. The hotel is managed by a family and everybody was very friendly. It is an excellent Price for Value. The breakfast could have been more various, but for such a price, it was understandable. The room was noisy, especially from Thursday when a bar played loud music.
Very basic facilities and not easy to find. Despite the nice staff, not value for the money
Excellent central location, friendly and helpful staff, powerful air conditioning, great showers Noisy at night from night clubs, sufficient to affect two of our party with rooms overlooking these
Good location

Review Details
A-2 Jacket, Flight Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on July 21, 2010):
- I received your catalog in the mail a few days ago. I'm quite impressed by what you offer. The attention to detail looks very good and the prices are excellent. I have a few suggestions to offer.You might want to consider adding a silk screened or iron-on color Army Air Forces emblem to the left shoulder of your A2 jackets as an option. Many of the original jackets had a water decal of this emblem in this position and most of the high quality reproduction A2 jacket makers like Eastman and McCoy Sportswear offer this feature as an option. It would also be nice if you could offer customized proper style leather name tags for your A2 (Army style thin brown leather strip with embossed name) jacket and G1 (Navy style rectangular brown leather with foil embossed wings and name) jacket. Any chance you could add an authentic B3 sheepskin jacket to your product line at a good price? When I say authentic, I mean with the proper single patch pocket and all the other proper details with none of the extra 'frills' (extra pockets and things) that other US made (like Avirex) B3s have. How about adding a B1 cap to your line? To the best of my knowledge, nobody in the USA offers a B1 cap. I have seen them advertised in Japanese magazines but never over here. The B1 cap is similar in design to the B2 cap that you offer except that it was made out of cotton fabric. It was the Army Air Forces standard summer flying cap. Nobody over here in the USA offers accurate reproductions of the WW2 vintage B15 and B10 aviators jackets. These were made of a cotton fabric shell with an 'alpaca' (artificial fiber that resembled alpaca wool) lining. How about it? Once again, I have seen these things advertised in Japanese magazines (like Combat magazine) at very reasonable prices but nobody over here carries them. The last thing on my list are boots. Nobody makes a decent sheepskin lined flying boot. Since many US aviators wore the English 1936 or 1941 pattern shearling flying boot, these would be nice to see. It would also be nice to see replicas of the US A6 type though the British boots would probably be easier to manufacture and more stylish to wear.

Just What I Needed
By BRobb
from Farmington, UT
I have an S3. This really isn't meant for the S3 as it only has one camera hole that is not large enough so the flash and speaker on the S3 are covered; also, the volume slot is in the wrong place for the S3, so you can only turn the volume up and not down. However, it fits the S3 and secures it really well. The wallet portion closes very securely; in fact, it closes so securely it's a little hard to open. It has room to store a number of cards or money easily. I typically only carry my ID and two cards, but it could easily secure 5 or 6 cards, if needed. It is a little bulky but not cumbersome. It still fits in my pocket fine. The case is slightly textured as well so it is easy to grip.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not for the S3
By Buffalo man
from Alexandria, Virginia
Volume button is part covered. Light is completely covered.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. The case will fit the S3 but may, as you indicate, block a couple phone features.
ONLY GOOD for S4
By Walker
from San Antonio, TX
This is specifically for S4 ONLY! If used with the S3 model it hides the volume button and cannot be accessed with case on. Other than that, it seems like a fine product.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. This case will fit both models, however does block a few features on the S3.
Great idea!
By Boop2015
from Boise, ID
I really liked this product, but it did not fit my Samsung Touch3 cellphone.
Protection with Space
By DavidE
from Springfield, OH
A good unit. I used it on an S4 and gave one for my daughter's S3. Had to make Dremel mods for clearing the charger plug for both models, and expanding the area for the volume bar on the S3. Will be "adding" a hole for the S3's flash shortly. Only drawback is that it will hold ~a max of 4 ccards in the storage pouch. But it still lessened the load on my wallet (which I now don't have to carry around with me everywhere).

In at early morning raid at a Cello Drive home, FBI agents Wednesday arrested a Diamond Bar man in connection with a scheme that allegedly defrauded as many as 400 people who paid into a mortgage debt elimination scheme, officials said.
Jude Lopez was taken into custody without incident, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. Lopez is the father of Jennifer Dejongh, who abducted the grandchildren of Rep. Gary Miller, R-Rancho Cucamonga, in 2007 and fled to Mexico. She was arrested in 2011.
A woman, identified as Marcela Gonzalez, was also indicted by authorities in connection with the mortgage debt elimination scheme. She is suspected of six counts of mail fraud, Eimiller said.
"Investigators believe approximately 400 clients were defrauded of approximately $5 million over approximately two years," Eimiller said. "(The) defendants allegedly pitched a `sovereign citizen' argument to homeowners, suggesting that the original liens were invalid."
Gonzalez and Lopez were due for their first appearance in federal court Wednesday afternoon.
Court documents indicate the FBI, the Montebello Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department were involved in the investigation.
The U.S. Attorney's Office asked that Lopez be held as a flight risk, according to court documents.
Prosecutors allege that Lopez, working on behalf of a company identified as Crown Point, filed bankruptcy paperwork for Crown Point clients. The paperwork was intended to delay foreclosure proceedings, officials said.
"From at least in or about September 2010, through in or about May 2012, defendant Lopez who was not a lawyer prepared and filed, and caused to be prepared and filed, legal papers including ... bankruptcy petitions on behalf of clients in order to delay foreclosure and eviction actions."
The complaints alleges that in some cases Lopez filed paperwork without the client's knowledge. Some of the petitions contained forged signatures, according to court documents.
Lopez was in custody and not available for comment Wednesday.
Dejongh, 35, a former Diamond Bar resident, and her husband pleaded no contest to three counts of child custody deprivation, officials said. They were sentenced to five years of formal probation, 100 hours of community service and fines to be determined by the Los Angeles County Probation Department, court officials said.

Terry - from Moreno Valley, CA
Yes, when stacking cakes, even without pillars, you place the top layers onto cake circles or cake boards. These boards can be placed onto separator plates or used directly on the lower cake tier. In either case, dowel rods inserted in the bottom tier should be used to support the cake above. The cake circle/board should be cut to the exact size and shape of the cake it is holding. When serving the cake, start cutting the top tier and work your way down. Most people cut the cake in place. With the cake board underneath, no icing from the bottom layer will adhere to the cake piece. When you're ready to move to the next layer, gently lift off the cake board/circle. Usually very little icing sticks to the bottom of the cake board, either, though a small amount will pull up – so be careful!

"Identity Thief" Drops New Trailer: Watch Here!
It's one of the most anticipated comedies in the pipeline, and "Identity Thief" has just released a new teaser trailer ahead of its February 8th release date.
And with lead stars like Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy, the expectations are high for plenty of awkwardness and hilarious situations.
Per the synopsis, "Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (Melissa McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads 'Sandy Bigelow Patterson'... and it belongs to an accounts rep (Jason Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S."
"With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back."
"Identity Thief" also features big names like Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, Tip 'T.I.' Harris, Genesis Rodriguez, and Eric Stonestreet.

Pelfrey, Twins snap Indians' winning streak
CLEVELAND -- Faced with a rugged road trip against streaking teams, the Minnesota Twins needed something positive to happen.
A strong outing by Mike Pelfrey and just enough clutch hitting did the trick in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Cleveland that stopped the Indians' six-game winning string.
Minnesota, which is on a 10-game swing, lost two of three in Detroit and dropped the first two games against the Indians. With a four-game series starting Monday in Boston, which has the best record in baseball, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire didn't want the losses to pile up.
"It was a good win for us," he said. "No one wants to get swept. We'd like to start winning series. That's our goal. Now we're going to Boston, another team that's playing really, really well and we'll see what happens there."
The loss dropped the Indians back to .500, but manager Terry Francona likes the way his team has been playing.
"When you're going through good periods, you don't necessarily even have to reel off a bunch of wins to feel good about your team," he said. "When your starting pitching is good, you've got a chance to win every night. Guys continue to pick each other up at the plate."
Pelfrey, coming off reconstructive surgery on his right elbow that limited him to three games last season, allowed one run in six innings in his longest outing of the season.
Trevor Plouffe hit a two-run homer in the second. Justin Morneau drove in a run with a bases-loaded single in the sixth while Joe Mauer, who was in a 5-for-43 slump, added an RBI double in the seventh.
Pelfrey (3-3), who allowed nine earned runs in losing his two previous starts, slowed down an Indians lineup that produced 53 runs during the winning streak. The right-hander gave up one run and four hits while striking out seven.
"It definitely feels better than the last one," Pelfrey said. "At the end of the day, if we win I'm happy. If I had given up four or five runs and we would have won, I would have been OK with it. Winning is the thing I care about the most."
Plouffe homered off Corey Kluber (2-1) with one out in the second, his fourth of the season and second in the series. Chris Parmelee was aboard with a walk.
Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his seventh save in seven chances. Carlos Santana hit a solo homer with two outs before Ryan Raburn blooped a single. Perkins struck out pinch-hitter Mike Aviles on a 3-2 pitch to end the game.
Pelfrey began last season in the New York Mets' rotation, but appeared in only three games before having surgery on May 1. He signed with Minnesota in December. Pelfrey, who matched his season strikeout total, came into the game having allowed 19 earned runs in 22 1/3 innings -- and opponents were batting .356 against him.
"He threw the ball great," Gardenhire said. "This has been a heck of a comeback. We're still just a year out of the surgery. We're taking small steps. Hopefully we'll keeping progressing."
Said Pelfrey: "Things are starting to come together. It was a good day."
The Indians' winning streak began last Sunday when Kluber held Kansas City to two runs in seven innings. The right-hander gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings against Minnesota.
Jamey Carroll started the sixth with a single before Mauer and Josh Willingham walked. Morneau sent a sharp grounder through the right side that scored Carroll. Although Mauer was held at third, Willingham rounded second too far and was tagged out in a rundown. The mistake proved costly because Minnesota loaded the bases again with two outs before Cody Allen struck out Oswaldo Arcia.
Carroll, who reached base three times, drew a two-out walk in the seventh and scored when Mauer's double got past left fielder Michael Brantley, who came up short on a diving attempt.
Morneau was in the original lineup at first base, but was moved to designated hitter after telling Gardenhire he "felt a little stiff." Parmelee moved from right field to first and Arcia played right.
Josh Roenicke and Jared Burton each pitched a scoreless inning for the Twins, who have the lowest bullpen ERA in the American League.
Mark Reynolds' sacrifice fly in the fourth scored Cleveland's first run.

"Warming Up to End Times: What the coming apocalypse means for libraries"
"There is no longer any point in debating the reality of global warming (or, if you prefer to be politically correct, climate change). The handwriting is on the wall: 2012 was the hottest year on record and the polar ice caps are melting at an alarmingly fast rate. Then there's the new research report from the University of Cambridge, which says that the thawing of the Arctic permafrost layer could trigger the release of billions of tons of methane into the atmosphere, accelerating the dire consequences of climate change."

I have a dilemma.
I've written numerous WorldStart articles about free software; all of which performed as promised, and was safe–as far as I could tell. However, with Anvi Smart Defender I wandered into previously unexplored territory. Except for a couple minor inconveniences, this software seems to perform well and it received glowing reviews from other trusted sources, but something about it bothers me. So, unlike most WorldStart download articles–along with a review–this software evaluation is about following your instincts.
Anvi Smart Defender is an anti-malware program that can add an extra layer of malware and virus protection, when run in conjunction with an effective antivirus. In addition to these protections, it offers PC optimization and repair features.
After installing it on a Vista laptop, I began by running a cloud scan, and followed that with a full computer scan. Six potential threats were discovered, but since these were overlooked by other dependable malware scanners installed on my machine, it's possible that they're false positives. This means that, while these files carry some of the characteristics of malware, they're probably harmless. The false positive issue was one brought up by several people who'd tested the beta version.
Other issues addressed by beta users include the program hanging, tying up the system, and creating problems on restart. For that reason, I tested most of the features, restarted the computer several times, and tried in every way I could to challenge this tool, and encountered none of those problems.
If you'd like to give it a try, Anvi Smart Defender can be downloaded here.
The main menu buttons are at the top of the screen; Scan, Cloud Scan, Guard, Optimize, and Update.
Like many malware scanners, the Scan screen offers 3 options; Quick, Full, and Custom Scan.
As mentioned earlier, the Full Scan revealed 6 potential threats. To reveal the threat details, click the Threats Found number, or the View Details link.
Since these may have been false positives, I chose not to allow Smart Defender to repair them. Instead, the report was saved as a text file, which can be reviewed later. Click the Save Report button and save the file to any location you choose (this was saved to the Desktop).
The text file is displayed below.
Cloud Scan searches for potentially risky file types, and provides a list which can be uploaded for analysis. Click the Cloud Scan button (lower right).
The results can then be uploaded by clicking the Upload button.
All the questionable files found on my machine were deemed to be safe.
Guard offers five optional guards. All are set to On by default, but can be turned off individually.
System Optimize provides several tools to improve computer performance. System Optimize, Registry Fix, Privacy Cleaner, and Memory Sweep are checked by default. Disk Defragment is available, but not automatically checked.
In the System Optimize screen, click one of the Settings links (above), to set up scheduled scans, or to make other settings adjustments (below).
The final screen is the Update screen. Just click the Update Now button to check for the latest version.
One of the things that bothered me–and this is certainly no crime–was very poorly written information on their site. It would seem that, if someone went to the trouble to develop, produce, and distribute complex software, their documentation would be professionally presented. Another source of frustration concerns scheduled scans because, at the scheduled time, the Windows User Account Control requires permission for the program to run. So, if a scan is scheduled when you're not present, it won't run. Although the UAC can be overridden, I rarely take that step. The most troubling issue is the doubt regarding false positives. What if I'd allowed all the suspicious files to be repaired? Would unintended consequences lead to another problem down the road? This is where instinct took over. Since I've trusted other malware scanners to automatically quarantine or remove suspicious files, I can't logically explain why I didn't allow Anvi to do the same.
To be fair, those other scanners found no malicious items in the Smart Defender program files, and it certainly appears to perform as promised. So there is no compelling reason not to give Smart Defender a good review. But, in the end, I listened to that little voice in my head, and uninstalled the program. The bottom line is, if anything about free software makes you wary, it's probably best to follow your instincts. The only evidence I have that this works, is years of relatively trouble-free experience on the computer.

Research office kicks off internal funding opportunity
The Office of the Vice President for Research announced Monday, Oct. 22, a new cycle for its internal funding program, ASPIRE (Advanced Support for Innovative Research Excellence).
Last year, the Office of the Vice President for Research awarded funding for 66 proposals, totaling nearly $2.5 million.
Faculty at all levels and at all USC system campuses are eligible for funding support through the ASPIRE program via three separate funding tracks.
ASPIRE-I provides funding for innovative, individual research projects which will lead to the pursuit of external funding. ASPIRE-II supports integrated and collaborative research between at least three faculty members from two or more colleges or schools, or with prior approval, two departments within a diverse college such as the College of Arts and Sciences. ASPIRE-III provides funding for development of infrastructure such as multi-user equipment and facilities with cutting-edge technology. These tracks are designed to increase funding opportunities for individual faculty members and for interdisciplinary research teams, as well as to enhance the competitiveness of USC's research infrastructure.
Faculty members may submit revised proposals from last year's ASPIRE competition which fully address reviewer comments per the guidelines.
The fall 2012 issue of Breakthrough magazine will highlight successful ASPIRE-II proposals from last year's competition. ASPIRE 2012 award results for each track are available online.
The deadline for ASPIRE-I proposals is Jan. 23. The deadline for ASPIRE-II and ASPIRE-III proposals is Feb. 25. For more information and forms, please visit the ASPIRE website.

Dropkick Murphys release Boston Charity EP with Bruce Springsteen
Listen to Dropkick Murphys on iHeartRadio | Listen to Bruce Springsteen on iHeartRadio
Dropkick Murphys have teamed up with the Boss to help raise money for the victims of last month's Boston Marathon bombings. Earlier this week the Bean Town-based Celtic rockers released "Rose Tattoo," a special charity EP that includes a new version of the title track featuring Bruce Springsteen.
The three-track collection also comes with a pair of live acoustic songs recorded during the Dropkick Murphys show in Las Vegas just four days after the bombings.
"Rose Tattoo" is available now exclusively through iTunes, and the band says 100 % of the money raised will go to people affected by the tragedy via their Claddagh Fund.
Dropkick Murphys previously raised money for Boston bombing victims with a "For Boston" t-shirt. The shirt is currently out of stock on their website, but the band says the garment has already brought in more than $65,000.

The programs on this page received honorable mention for the 2010–2011 Ralph N. Kleps Award for Improvement in the Administration of the Courts because they advanced past the first level of Kleps Award Committee review and met the initial criteria.
The Kleps Award review process is rigorous and comprehensive. After the eligible programs are fully evaluated, some may not meet all of the Kleps Award criteria but may still be employing innovative methods to address local concerns, or may be successfully improving services in their communities.
The committee wishes to share these notable programs with the judicial branch, acknowledge the work being done by these courts throughout the state, and thank them for participating in the Kleps Award process.
Superior Court of Napa County
created the
Judicial Branch Exploration Program
for selected high school juniors and seniors to increase their understanding of the court system and its relationships within the community. Students participate in a 26-hour intensive program over a three-week period in which they gain in-depth knowledge of criminal, civil, and family law. The program includes courtroom calendar observation, site visits to justice and community partner agencies, and simulated legal arguments before a judge, based on real case facts.
Court Appearance Reminder System (CARS)
was implemented by the
Superior Court of Los Angeles County
to remind defendants of their scheduled court dates. The goal of CARS is to reduce the number of defendants who fail to appear in court. CARS reminds defendants by phone of their court dates and also offers them the option of paying the citation by phone in lieu of appearing in court.
Superior Court of San Bernardino County's Exhibit Management Program
preserves the integrity and safety of evidence and exhibits through the implementation of proper training, communication, and accountability measures. The program is a collaboration among the superior court, local law enforcement, and the district attorney's office to establish a protocol for the handling and tracking of exhibits. Accountability measures are reinforced through biannual random internal audits of a representative sample of all exhibits in the court's custody, and exhibit clerks receive training in proper procedures.
Superior Court of Santa Clara County
created the
Juvenile Justice Video Conferencing Program
, which uses videoconference technology to allow minors in long-term out-of-county placement programs to participate in their permanency planning hearings. These hearings, held every six months per California law, can occur without having to physically transport the minor to court, minimizing escape risks and the costs associated with transport.

London's FTSE 100 index of leading companies fell 1.62 per cent to 6,291.54 points, a day after surpassing 6,400 for the first time in more than five years on the prospect of more cash stimulus from the Bank of England.

DUNDEE, IL -- The Amusement and Music Operators Association is hosting its next Council of Affiliated States meeting in San Antonio, TX, from Feb. 7 to 9.
Interest in state operator associations has been increasing in recent years, due in part to growing interest in lobbying for legal operator-run video poker and against smoking bans in taverns.
The 2012 States Council meeting drew more than 70 industry officials from some 30 state operator associations. | SEE STORY

of Business Communications Feature
of an occasional series of feature stories on the web
Five years ago, Daniel Doheny made a career change, from a partner at
KPMG to CFO of Reyes Holdings, a leading food and beverage distribution
firm based in Rosemont, Illinois. The family-owned company, with more
than 6,400 employees and facilities in the US, Canada, Brazil, and countries
in Latin America, has given Doheny a new perspective on accounting as
a career. Reyes Holdings is the largest beer distributor in the US and
the largest distributor to the worldwide McDonald's Corporation restaurant
After his transition from public accounting to a private company, Doheny
observed that he was still using his accounting and finance knowledge,
analytical skills, and communication and leadership savvy. But he was
shifting his focus from identifying problems -- at the heart of his partner
work -- to implementing solutions with his team. And that's not the only
change he observed. As a private firm, Reyes Holding has a somewhat different
financial reporting focus: long-term enterprise growth versus quarterly
earnings that meet or exceed market expectations. Related, the management
incentives are performance awards, not stock options.
Another difference in the private world, said Doheny, is that, as a privately
held company, Reyes is not required to follow certain regulations, including
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). The company, however, has implemented much
of the spirit of SOX, particularly in the area of controls and accountability
and the establishment of an ethics committee. Reyes has chosen not to
establish a formal audit committee but, said Doheny, communications between
owners and independent accountants has been strengthened.
Doheny detailed numerous sections of SOX and outlined Reyes Holdings'
reaction to the requirement. For example, one section prohibits retaliation
against informants. Reyes Holdings' response was to make modifications
to the employee manual in addition to establishing the ethics committee.
A 1984 graduate of the accountancy program
at Illinois, Doheny has been CFO at Reyes Holdings LLC, the 30th largest
privately held company in the United States, since 2000.
He spoke as part of the Department of Accountancy spring Lyceum

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes: I must admit the following story comes from a "Ghost Tour" while in Gettysburg last weekend, but having learned that Col. Isaac Hayes was killed on a white horse while leading the charge on East Cemetery Hill from that same tour, I got to wondering if this story is true, but I haven't been able to find out. In trying to explain the fierceness of the Louisiana Tigers, he relayed the following story. A Tennessean was walking through camp and came upon 4 Tigers playing cards and was thus invited to play cards with them and indulge in some of their beverages. After playing a hand, he thanked them for their hospitality, but couldn't stay any longer and despite being asked to stay, graciously thanks his hosts but left. About one hundred yards from their card game, he found himself vomiting due to the fact that the Tigers were using the dead body of a Union officer as their card table and placed the candle in the bullet hole in this soldiers head. This is a great story to illustrate the mentality of those Tigers but is there any truth to this story?

Ed Sheeran's 'Shape Of You' Credits 'No Scrubs' Songwriters (VIDEOS)
Well, well, well... did you know that Xscape's own Kandi Burruss and Tameka "Tiny" Harris are credited on Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You" single? Well, you do now!
The hit song is featured on Sheeran's Divide album. The two R&B singers have been known to pen a few bangers in previous years. We don't need to remind you of Destiny's Child "Bills, Bills, Bills" or TLC's "No Scrubs." These songs still go hard and thanks to Burruss and Tiny's pen game, they're in our lives.
So knowing the good music the two ladies make, the pop star tapped the two to assist with his album. On Instagram, Burruss posted a video of a child dancing to "Shape Of You" and captioned it: "Congrats #edsheeran @teddysphotos for having the #1 album! & thank you for allowing @majorgirl & I to share in the success of #ShapeOfYou! #1 for 7 weeks! This is how I dance every time this song comes on. #ShapeOfYou #Blessings."
See that post below.
Tiny also celebrated the new song's success with a post of her own -- and by twerking. "In Mexico turning up to another #1 hit single that @Kandi & I was able to be apart of thx to #EdSheeran for making this jammin song he created "Shape Of You" & having the #1 album. #EdSheeran #ShapeOfYou #1 #7WeeksStraight#Thankful #WeUp," Tiny's video was captioned.
Check that video out below.
When R&B fans first heard "Shape Of You," they instantly heard the similarities it has to "No Scrubs." So in retrospect, Burress and Tiny's touches on the single isn't too much of a surprise. Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter even did a mashup of them. Listen to it below.

Getting started
This shelf unit may look lightweight and easy to topple. But don't be fooled. It's a real workhorse. The 33-1/2 in. x 82-3/4 in. tower features five unique, tray-like shelves of different depths to hold a wide variety of items up to 13-1/4 in. tall. Despite its 10-degree lean, the unit is surprisingly sturdy and its open design won't overpower a room.
Whether you choose to make this piece more functional, as in this office setting, or place it in a family room to showcase treasures, the basic construction is the same. You select the type of wood and stain or paint to dress it up or down to fit the look of any room.
All the materials can be purchased in home centers or lumberyards. The only special tools you'll need are a power miter box for crisp angle cuts and an air-powered brad nailer for quick assembly and almost invisible joints. And you'll have to rustle up an old clothes iron for applying oak edge-banding material. Once you've gathered all the material, you can build the shelf unit in one afternoon.
A Cutting List and Shopping List can be viewed and printed from Additional Information, below.
Buying the Wood
We built our unit with red oak and oak veneer plywood and finished it with two coats of red oak stain. The beauty of this project is that any wood species will work. If you plan to paint it, select alder or aspen for the solid parts and birch for the plywood.
One note when buying boards: Use a tape measure to check the "standard" dimensions of 1x3s and 1x4s. They sometimes vary in width and thickness. Also check the two full-length 1x4s you plan to use as the uprights to be sure they're straight, without warps or twists. And always examine the ends, edges and surface for blemishes or rough areas that won't easily sand out.
Cut plywood shelves first
Lay a couple of 2x4s across sawhorses (Photo 1) to cut the half sheet of 3/4-in. plywood cleanly and without pinching the saw blade. Since all five shelves are 30-1/2 in. wide, cut this width first, making sure the grain will run the long way across the shelves. Remember to wear safety glasses, earplugs and a dust mask. Make a homemade jig to fit your circular saw and clamp it to the plywood.
Next, cut all five shelf depths, starting with the smallest shelf (3-3/8 in.) first. Cut smallest to largest so you'll have enough wood to clamp the jig. Important: Make sure you account for the width of your saw blade when you cut each shelf.
Now mark and cut the top of all four 1x4 uprights (the end that rests against the wall), according to Photo 3 and the two dimensions provided in Figure B. Use a sharp blade in your circular saw to prevent splintering. Then stow the sawhorses and move to the workbench.
Select the best front of each plywood shelf, clamp it to the bench on edge and sand it smooth with 150-grit paper on a sanding block. Then preheat a clothes iron to the "cotton" setting and run it over the top of the edge-banding veneer, making sure the veneer extends beyond all edges (Photo 4).
Roll it smooth immediately after heating. Let each shelf edge cool for a couple of minutes before trimming and sanding the edges.
Cut the uprights and shelf frame next
Now enter the miter saw, which you use to make all the 90-degree straight cuts first (five shelf backs and 10 shelf sides; see Cutting List). Important: Remember that one end of each shelf side has a 10-degree cut, so we recommend first cutting them square at their exact length, then cutting the angle carefully so the long edge of each piece remains the same.
Next, rotate the miter saw table to the 10-degree mark and cut all the angle pieces. First cut the bottom of both uprights so each upright rests flat against the floor and wall (see Figure A).
Then trim the top of the upright to match the bottom, being careful to maintain the 84-in. total length. Next, cut the cleats based on the Cutting List dimensions, which are measured edge to edge (Photo 5 and Figure A). Leave the top cleats long and cut them to exact fit during assembly. Then, to speed finishing, use an orbital sander with 150-grit sandpaper to smooth all pieces before assembly.
Assemble uprights first, then the shelves
To begin assembly, lay out both uprights and all cleats to ensure that the angles are correct so the shelves will be level when the unit is against the wall. Then glue and nail the first cleat flush with the base of each upright (using five or six 1-1/4-in. brads) on each cleat. Work your way upward using 1x3 spacers (Photo 6). Make sure the spacer is the exact same width as the shelf sides! Set these aside to dry. For shelf assembly, first glue and nail on the shelf backs. Next, apply the sides with glue and nails (Photo 7).
For final assembly, lay one upright on 2x4s, then clamp on the shelves as shown in Photo 8. Apply the glue, position the second upright on top flush with the front edge of the shelves, then sink four 1-1/4-in. brads into each shelf from the upright side. Carefully turn the unit over and repeat the process to attach the second upright.
Work quickly so the glue doesn't set. Lift the ladder shelf and place it upright against a straight wall. Check it with a framing square and flex it if necessary to square it up and to make sure that the uprights rest flat against the floor and wall (assuming your floor is level). Attach three bar clamps as shown in Photo 9 while the glue dries.
The shelf is highly stable as designed, but once you've stained or painted it, you can add self-adhesive foam gripping pads to the bottom of the uprights. And if you don't feel secure having it on a slippery floor, the unit's width is perfect for screwing the top of the uprights into wall studs.

There's much praise these days for small dwellings that feel spacious, a quality this house has in spades. Partly it's the organizational clarity—one room deep with a lean, low profile and a solid/void pattern that presents the Lake Ontario view. But the judges were most impressed with the interior's quiet craftsmanship. Its signature statement is an oak plank ceiling and wall that moves through the entry corridor and into the kitchen, laundry, and utility room.
"It visually divides the entry and service areas from the larger public space," says architect Richard Williams. The oak planking adds some warmth to the stainless steel countertops and hard-troweled, unpolished concrete floors. Smooth planes and the gray and off-white color palette help create a house that is "quite abstract, ambiguous as to what its size could be," Williams says.

Pregnant 'Bad Girls Club' alum arrested for domestic violence with NBA boyfriend
Bad Girls Club isn't all for show after all.
Ashley Pettiford (aka Ashley King) and her baller boyfriend, Ty Lawson, have both been arrested for domestic violence, but since announced it was all a big mistake.
The former reality star is six months pregnant and recanted her original claims that the Denver Nuggets player shoved her during a heated argument. The Season 6 Bad Girls Club alum was originally arrested along with her man after police responded to calls from neighbors around 9AM on Saturday, according to reports.
After realizing that both parties could be to blame and had broken each other's cell phones, they hauled both in for booking. She was charged with domestic violence and criminal mischief while he was slapped with an additional harassment charge.
The two were released on $1,000 bond after three days in jail and are insisting the whole situation was a "misunderstanding". According to TMZ, The pair say they're "working things out" and are already back together. They're due back in court on Friday.
Let's hope they figure SOMETHING out for the sake of that baby bump.
