PHOTO: Kylie Jenner shows off fake gun tattoo in new Instagram pic
Kylie Jenner sports a gun "tattoo" in a new photo posted to Instagram.
The snapshot shows the 16-year-old reality star moving her shirt aside to reveal a red bra with the ink below it, on the side of her ribcage.
The art was drawn on with a marker by makeup artist and designer Nat Wood, who also created an animal skull on Kendall Jenner's finger.
"don't worry, it ain't real people," Kendall captioned her own Instagram pic, with the hashtag "#SharpieTat."
Wood previously inked up Kendall's entire back with an elaborate skull wearing a Native American headdress.

Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II Now 25 Percent More Vulnerable to Lightning, Attacks

Reducing the aircraft's weight by 11 pounds has made it more vulnerable
An attempt at cutting the weight of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has
made it more vulnerable
to lightning and enemy attacks, says a new report.
The report, conducted by the Pentagon's Operational Test and Evaluation office (OT&E), found that shedding a few pounds from Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (also known as Lightning II) has made the aircraft 25 percent more vulnerable in certain dangerous situations.
Lightning II
lost two safety features in 2008, including the PAO shutoff valve and the fueldraulic system. The PAO shutoff valve weighed 2 pounds and the fueldraulic system weighed 9 pounds, bringing the grand total to an 11 pound weight loss.
However, the new report from OT&E suggests that getting rid of the PAO shutoff valve could lead to a rupture below the cockpit and ridding the fueldraulic system increases the chance of a sustained fire if exposed.
Test flights found that the Lightning II cannot be within 25 miles of known lightning conditions due to a poor design of the On-Board Intert Gas Generating System. This feature makes sure there are correct oxygen levels in the fuel tank.
"The program's most recent vulnerability assessment showed that the removal of fueldraulic fuses, the PAO shutoff valve and the dry bay fire suppression, also removed in 2008, results in the F-35 not meeting the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) requirement to have a vulnerability posture better than analogous legacy aircraft," officials wrote in the report.
The report also found cracks in the F-35A's right wing and right engine as well as the F-35B's bulkhead flange.
"Lockheed Martin believes the program is demonstrating exceptional stability, certainly significantly greater than any legacy aircraft development program, which is a primary measure for DT&E," said Laura Siebert, a Lockheed spokeswoman. "Each year, as issues are discovered in test, our flight test team identifies additional test objectives that can be accomplished while we resolve the issues discovered.
"From an Operational Test and Evaluation perspective, we fully expect to deliver a qualified product to OT&E as scheduled. We appreciate the feedback from the OT&E community on what remains to be demonstrated over the next three years leading up to the OT&E phase of the program."
Last March, it was announced that the lifetime cost of the Lightning II is
$1.45 trillion

TAMPA, Fla. – Elysha Agen pounded-out four hits, but the Saint Leo University softball team (18-22, 5-7 SSC) dropped a pair of Sunshine State Conference games to the University of Tampa Spartans (17-10, 8-3 SSC), Thursday evening from the Tampa Softball Complex. SLU was defeated 5-2 in game one, before the Spartans used a come-from-behind victory to complete the sweep,5-4.
In total, the Lions collected 11 hits. Aside from Agen's four knocks, Jessica Figueredo and Brittany Yates registered two hits apiece. Ana Castillo, Dianne Gonzalez and Danielle Moreda rounded-out the Lions' offensive attack as each collected a hit. Jaime Walker also posted one run scored and Sarah Boyd walked three times and drove in a run in the doubleheader. The Lions had their opportunities to score, however, as they left 16 combined runners on base.
Game one saw the Spartans tally the first run of the contest in the bottom of the second inning on back-to-back doubles.
SLU answered with a tying run in the third inning as a bases-loaded walk by Boyd scored Agen from third. Unfortunately, the Lions were not able to convert the other runners into scores.
In the third inning, a pair of Lions' fielding miscues led to Tampa's Brittany Datillo tripling-in three runs to take a 4-1 advantage. The hit eventually propelled the Spartans to the game one win.
Still, the Lions fought and a late triple by Agen, coupled with an RBI-knock by Yates, got the Lions one run closer. However, the team could not overcome the four-run, seventh inning deficit.
Taking the tough loss for the Lions was Walker as she dropped to 5-7 during 2010. She allowed only six hits and two earned runs over 6.0 innings of work.
Tampa took control of the scoreboard in game two as they registered a run on two hits in the first. The team followed it up with another run in the second inning as Datillo connected on an RBI double.
After an injury delay, the Lions took advantage of a cold Kari Walsh as they began to find gaps in the Spartans defense.
After Castillo walked, Yates doubled her over to third. Gonzalez then made her one hit count as she ripped a two-RBI single up the middle to plate both runners. With the game tied, the Spartans heated the bats up again in the sixth inning, plating the go-ahead run on a quartet of hits.
Still, the Green & Gold did not hesitate as they battled back in the final frame to take the lead on three hits. First, Moreda sent an RBI double to left center to score Walker from first to tie the game. After a infield single from Figueredo, Agen sent a blistering single down the leftfield to score Moreda and gain their first lead of the series going into the bottom half of the seventh.
The Lions rode the momentum of their first lead into the frame, but it was short-lived as Becky Vyzas, who earlier tripled, scored on a fielding error. It was followed by an RBI single up the middle by Tejas in which the game-winning run narrowly crossed the plate, escaping the tag from Yates. SLU has now lost seven consecutive games to Tampa.
Ashton Whidden fell to 12-10 as she was hit with the loss. Still, the Lions' hurler threw well, tossing 6.2 innings and allowing just two earned runs.
The Lions will return to action on Tuesday, April 13 as they open an SSC series with rival Florida Southern. First pitch for the single game is set for 7:00 p.m.

Oh, yum, beer bread today. And the how-to is thanks to Trish King, who tells us, "I always read your column and enjoy it.
"When my sons were growing up, I made bread often and my eldest carries on the tradition. This is his rendition of beer bread, which may sound odd, but it's delicious and simple to make."
Son's beer bread
3 cups all-purpose flour, not self-rising
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 can or bottle (12 ounces) any favorite beer, at room temperature
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter well a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the beer and mix well. Scrape into prepared pan and pour melted butter over dough. Bake for 1 hour.
Makes one 9-inch loaf.
Bits and pieces: Getting back to the recipe for chip treasure cookies, plus a gluten-free adaptation, which appeared in the Forum recently, Amy Perkins, who shared the gluten-free directions writes, "I am SO SORRY I forgot to mention to use gluten-free graham crackers in the adaptation I sent you. I use Kinnikinnick 'Graham Style Crumbs' in this recipe. I buy tham at Manna Mills in Mountlake Terrace."
SOS: Edmonds reader Valerie Grove says, "Thanks for your very informative recipe column. I recently read an article about how eating red beets can help with the 'getting up so often at night syndrome.'
"It refers to an old Polish recipe for barszcz, made with beets and either a meat or vegetable stock. The man says he's 63 years old, has the normal urinary symptoms of an aging prostate but, when his wife fixes this soup, he says it's so satisfying to be able to emply his bladder completely and get back to sleep for the rest of the night."
Valerie is hoping someone can come up with this barszcz recipe, plus other beet recipes.
If you can help, please write to Judyrae Kruse at the Forum, c/o The Herald, P. O. Box 930, Everett, WA 98206. As you hopefully already know, the Forum is always happy to receive your contributions and requests.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Whatever we may think of this Swift Boat-funding old rich dude, we have to admit he just got a little more cred. How these two worlds collided is a mystery to us, but we're glad they did. The following is an actual transcript of a May 30 Twitter exchange.
@Drake (Drake, rapper and Degrassi: The Next Generation's Wheelchair Jimmy): The first million is the hardest.
@BoonePickens (T. Boone Pickens, Texas tycoon): The first billion is a helluva lot harder.
@Drake: @boonepickens just stunted on me heavy
At first glance, this might seem an unconventional choice. In between shows, Oliver Francis Gallery looks more like a cross-fit workout facility than a high-gloss showcase arena. But that's the thing. With so many Dallas spaces representing the biggest names in art, we've come to look to OFG for something else: difficult to market but important to see contemporary work. Owner and curator Kevin Rubén Jacobs balances the scales by presenting art he loves made by people he finds interesting. It's that simple. Whether he's passionate about an international sculptor like Rachel de Joode, whose exploration of art as documentation is still lodged deeply in our robotic hearts, or he's interested in emerging local talents hiking their way up, Jacobs offers their collections a temporary home. At Oliver Francis Gallery, you won't see art as décor. You will find things that make you feel uneasy. Frustrated, even. But that's the kicker: You will feel. You will think. And a couple of years down the road, it's these exhibitions that you'll remember.
Mind Spiders started out as a solo project for former Marked Men singer/guitarist Mark Ryan. Fast forward a few years, and it's now expanded to a six-person wrecking ball with two drummers. Last year's self-titled was an impressive amalgam of all Ryan's influences: punk, soul, new wave, pop. Meltdown, released in February, is more focused in its attack, and finds Ryan sharpening his ax. One of the best North Texas albums this year. Maybe even all of Texas.
It's sort of become a running joke for Black Dotz frontman Wanz Dover to take to Facebook and declare that the quartet's next show will be their last in a while. Inevitably it's not, but they always keep us on our toes, which is what a good rock and roll band should do. If you've caught them live, you understand: All four members are accomplished musicians in their own right, but together, they pull up their soul, R&B and punk roots and claw out your eyes in a white-hot blast. If you haven't seen them, what are you waiting for? This could be your last chance.
Ah, the much maligned "special guest" is the scourge of fliers and Facebook invites everywhere. This Fort Worth punk group decided to cut out the middle man and just own the name, and we support this kind of script-flipping and mischief-making.
Jeff Siegel is funny and all that, but he also has an incredible talent for getting stuff first, which makes him not only a fun read but a must. He writes a regular column that is called, as best we can tell, "Jeff Siegel" (catchy, what?) in the Lakewood and Lake Highlands Advocate magazines, free-distribution monthlies. If they already hang the magazine on your doorknob, you know Siegel. If they don't, you need to go find him in a rack, or you will miss a steady diet of insider scoops: He was way out front on the Trader Joe/Greenville Avenue story, first to tell the tale of Lincoln Properties wanting to re-name Gaston Avenue "Arboretum Way" or some such nonsense and first to hear the Andres brothers had put most of Henderson Avenue up for sale. Siegel is also author of a blog called "Wine Curmudgeon," which often is the only place to go for plain talk about wine in Dallas — a topic that cries out for plain talk. Beneath all that writing and attitude beats the heart of an old-fashioned newspaper reporter. Siegel's got good ears, good sources, and if a really good story walks up and bites him in the ass, he gets it on the page or up on the web faster and better than anybody else in Dallas. If it bites him anywhere else, we're not sure what happens.

President's Report:
Dr. Carter reported that things are going very well. The University's operating finances are sound and operating reserves are healthy. Enrollment is growing, with applications increasing by 19.4%. Dr. Carter noted that these applications reflect the increase in confidence and excellence in our student body. Dr. Carter noted the University intends to phase out the CAP program over the next two years. Dr. Carter also noted that 81.8% of our students are currently on financial aid. Dr. Carter noted that this brings out the real significance of the Capital Campaign. As the University's enrollment is growing, we are not leaving behind students who so desperately need financial aid to attend college. Dr. Carter also stated that he is very proud of the fact that 40% of our students are first generation college students.
Dr. Carter stated that the faculty and staff are working hard and staying very motivated. He attributed this motivation to the fact that the Board makes it a priority each year to look after them by giving raises to help with the increasing costs of health benefits.
Dr. Carter stated that our SACS accreditation preparation is on track. He commended Dr. Charlene Wages for her excellent work in this.
Dr. Carter also noted that plans for moving our athletic programs to Division I status are on track. He said that the Board will talk more extensively about this at the summer retreat.
Dr. Carter also mentioned the different building plans the University is anticipating. The University is planning to build a new
, hoping to have this completed by January 2006. There is also an addition to the new Forest villas planned,
which should be completed by August of this year. Also, with the approval of a bond bill, the University will begin building a Center for the Child and do needed renovations to Founders Hall. Dr. Carter mentioned that Mr. Jay Dowd is currently pursing the acquisition of additional land, and the Board will hear more about this at the June meeting.
Dr. Carter noted that the University is looking into entering a cooperative effort with the Pee Dee School Districts. The Board will receive more information on this at the next meeting.
Dr. Carter mentioned that Dr. Duane Myers has compiled a listing of publications by
faculty. He said that there is a high quality of research going on at the University which is often not noted.
Dr. Carter noted that the curriculum in the General Education area is being reviewed. Also, the Provost and other faculty members are currently evaluating the feasibility of offering a Bachelors Degree in Music, Bachelors Degree in Non-Profit Management, and a Masters Degree in Applied Biology. He stated that if it is decided to have these programs, it may involve cooperative efforts with other universities.
Finally, Dr. Carter stated that there are two current initiatives which will connect the University heavily with the community. One is the involvement of faculty in our Fine Arts department with the Florence Performing Arts Center. Also, the University has agreed to be part of the Francis Marion Heritage Trail Association.

So i've toyed with the idea of getting a 3D printer for a while, but I don't think I would use it enough to make it worthwhile.
I am however wanting to print off a couple small objects (i.e. small enough for a home-3D-printer to do) and don't know where would be a good place to get this sort of one-off thing done
Has anyone got any suggestions for where to go and type of price expected to pay for this service? - I found a few places on google but they all need you to send the models in and get a quote back
This would be ideal for you.
Staples Announces In-Store 3-D Printing Service
Staples Easy 3D will launch in the Netherlands and Belgium in the first quarter of 2013, and will be rolled out to other countries shortly afterword. No word yet on pricing or when it will reach the United States.The article mentions a couple of 3d printing companies but their pricing is probably n/a for you. Good luck!
I just toured QUT and counted 6 differnt 3D printers. Perhaps get in contact with a University Engineering school and see if they'll do it for you at cost.

not a bad idea.
perhaps you can PM Jerry with some helpful information, if not people to talk to in order to help him make this happen Toll.
koopz is all about the pms
Hi Jerry,
I am encouraging your idea about getting 3D printers. We are manufacturing printers in both large and small size. I would like to recommend you to buy Creator http://www.3dstuffmaker.com/creator-evolution/ since you are looking for small size home 3D printer.
Best Regards
David Paul
Yeah I think he wanted someone to print stuff not to buy a printer.
I plan on setting up a 3d printer company in Brisbane mid next year. It will be a SLA 3d printer, should be way more cost effective then other current companies on the market so hopefully I'll be ultra competitive. But for the meantime, I'd say hit up a uni or hopefully a friendly QGLer will help you out at cost.
They need to invent 3d printers that can print things out of meat, so I can print a steak
They need to invent 3d printers that can print things out of meat, so I can print a steak
What you mean like insert a cow and the printer shaves it down to a steak? Pretty sure that's just called a butcher
pretty sure he meant he needs paper made from meat.
Mmmmm meat paper
All you people with 3d printers, you should get busy printing 3d printers so we can all have 3d printers...
Cool Sip. One of the guys at the Uni said it cost him $1.50/sqr cm for the materials including water soluble support structure. Not sure if that factored in maintenance and purchasing cost tho, probably not.

09 December 2009
Teams are now starting to move into the 30+ game range of how much of their season they've played. We're past the halfway point but not quite yet to halfway, and with the Olympics sitting in the middle of February waiting to pause the season, now's a good time to review some teams and their performance thus far. Today I'm going to look at teams who probably aren't where most people expected them to be in the standings at this point of the year. We'll start with the East.
Atlanta Thrashers-15-9-3-33 points-6th in East-No one saw this coming, then add Kovalchuk getting injured early on in the year, and really no one saw this at all. But Ondrej Pavelec has played quite well in goal and the Thrashers are somehow sitting in the top half of the conference. Plus in their favor, their 27 games played is tied for the fewest with Buffalo. In a league where a handful of points separates fourth place and home ice in the first round from tenth place and watching the playoffs at home, to be sixth with the fewest number of games played is pretty impressive for a team with little expectations entering the year.
Philadelphia Flyers-14-13-1-29 points-10th in East-28 games into the season and the Flyers are only one point about .500. A coaching change has already taken place for a team that added the likes of Pronger and Emery to an already strong team during the offseason. And there were a great deal of people who felt the Flyers could, should and would win the Stanley Cup this year. Now they're on the outside of the playoff race while trying to get used to a new coach and system. This is a team that could be in panic mode 50 games into the season if things don't turn around soon.
Carolina Hurricanes-7-17-5-19 points-15th in East-Wasn't this team in the Eastern Conference Finals seven months ago? Now they're last in the East and last in the League. This team is playing just awful, but they don't really look as bad as they are because they have the Maple Leafs keeping (a poor) pace with them. They've almost switched roles with the aforementioned Thrashers; if people were told two teams from the Southeast would be in playoff position, they'd guess the Canes and Caps. And no one would have been surprised to see the Thrashers last. Role reversal. Unless there is a miracle brewing in Raleigh, this team will pick in the top five in the 2010 draft in LA.
Positive mention-Ottawa Senators Negative mention-Florida Panthers
Now the West
Colorado Avalanche-17-9-6-40 points-2nd in West-This team finished dead last in the West last season but got off to one of the hottest starts of any team this year. Sakic may have retired, but a ton of injured players that missed time last year came back healthy and ready to go. And go they have. Craig Anderson has been great for them in net as well and looks to be one of the best offseason acquistions. Second place in the West is a bit deceiving though; their 32 games played is the most in the league, and they're only one point ahead of division rival Calgary and the Flames have played three less games. So just as easily this team could fourth or fifth in the West, but even that is higher than most would have predicted they be this late in the year.
Phoenix Coyotes-18-11-1-37 points-6th in West-As easy as it was to type "Phoenix" I could have, had things gone different this summer, typed "Hamilton" or any other city just now. But after months of turmoil, the Desert Dogs stayed in Phoenix. And while Bettman was running his mouth about a better on ice product meaning more attention and ticket sales, fans were laughing at the notion that this team could actually succeed. Questions about the franchise ran well into training camp, and Wayne Gretzky mysteriously disappeared and then was no longer the coach. But all of this just goes to show that hockey players are hockey players and are in no way worried about schematics. But there are still worries to be had about this team; they were in a better position in the standings 20 games later in the season last year than they are in right now, and that team fell apart after the all-star break and missed the playoffs.
Anaheim Ducks-11-13-6-28 points-15th in West-This team was three minutes away from overtime in Game 7 of the second round last year before Dan Cleary scored and pushed Detroit into the Western Conference Finals. And despite trading away Chris Pronger in the offseason, this was still a team with a solid defense, more than its fair share of offensive talent, and two number one goaltenders. Now, the team is so bad that fans get into fights over hockey sticks after an overtime victory. Nothing can explain why this team has underperformed as much as they have this year. Granted, several teams in the West have had better than expected starts, and good teams have started off worse than they'd have liked to, regardless, Anaheim still isn't even close. They are the second worst road team in the league and are barely above .500 at home. A lot of personnel and players may be on the way out come the trade deadline and season's end if they don't get this thing turned around quick.
Positive mention-Los Angeles Kings Negative mention-St. Louis Blues
And finally, here is a shout out to the Islanders fan who made my sub at Subway this afternoon. Whether a reader of this website or not, I come across few other hockey fans in Central Florida, and that he happened to be an Islanders fan and I write for an Islanders site, it's worth the mention.

the Summer 2007 Rapport (PDF, 300 KB,Download

The phone rang in the middle of the night. Our colleague, K.K. Devaraj, director of Bombay Teen Challenge (BTC) was in tears. He and his outreach team had gone into the Kamatapura red-light district in Bombay for the first time and discovered a world that few knew existed: over 100,000 women and girls living in block after block of multi-storied brothels, most sold into sexual slavery, many by their own families.
As Devaraj and his team shared the story of Jesus, more than 100 women in the brothels communicated that they wanted to follow Jesus. Tragically, they were not free to leave because they were literally slaves. But they asked Devaraj if he would take their daughters before they, too, were forced into prostitution. So his question to my husband was, "Can we take 37 little girls?"
"Auntie, I have found my Scripture! Isaiah 54:4 says, 'Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth.'"
(The words of a young girl, the daughter of a woman in prostitution, to a Project Rescue staff member. She has found Jesus in a Home of Hope in Kolkata, India.)
David's immediate response was yes! And that was the beginning of the journey.
The first Project Rescue Home of Hope began in 1997 with those 37 little girls, ages 3 to 12, in the city of Bombay (now Mumbai), India. It provided a safe home where their physical, medical, social, educational and spiritual needs were met. Soon after, the Teen Challenge outreach grew into a church in the red-light district to which hundreds of women in prostitution have come and found new life in Jesus. In time, as women observed how their daughters were thriving, they began to trust Devaraj and the BTC staff. Many began to take their own spiritual journey to faith and found the courage to escape the horror of sexual exploitation.
Today, Project Rescue ministers to victims of forced prostitution in eight locations in India and Nepal. It includes nine Homes of Hope for aftercare, a red-light-district church, a Sunday School for the children of women in prostitution, vocational training centers, night-care centers for children during their mothers' peak working hours, an HIV/AIDS clinic, and a ministry on the North Indian–Nepali border where trafficking regularly occurs. Prevention efforts also have been conducted in poverty-stricken villages of Western Nepal where procurers trick families into selling their young daughters.
Plans are underway to begin Project Rescue ministries in Moldova, Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union and Central Eurasia where human trafficking is rapidly increasing.
In God's providence, he allowed our team to launch this ministry. But we quickly realized the need to define Project Rescue as it related to our theology and missiology. Working with young children and women who are brutalized daily in sexual slavery—possibly the darkest evil in the twenty-first century—was the most emotionally charged and challenging ministry any of us had undertaken. It was critical to evaluate what we were trying to do, how we would do it and that our mission and strategy were consistent with the Great Commission.
The most powerful workers today in the ministry to women survivors of sex slavery are former madams who came to Christ out of the brothels four and five years ago. They had been leaders with natural leadership skills, fearless and full of demonic power.
Today they are strong leaders in the Homes of Hope. They go courageously back into the red-light district, encouraging women to leave, and praying powerful prayers of deliverance.
Several key truths have become foundational to our compassion ministry approach:
1. No true "rescue" can take place without the love and transformational power of Jesus Christ. Many good social, legal and political organizations are engaged in physically rescuing victims from sex slavery. But only Jesus can free a woman or child emotionally, mentally and spiritually from the bondage of exploitation. A supernatural work of healing through Christ Jesus is the only hope for transforming a young girl exploited for years in prostitution into a courageous woman of God. Without this, rescued survivors find themselves back in slavery within months, if not weeks.
2. For compassion ministry to be life changing, word and deed must go hand in hand. Giving food, water, education or aftercare for the sexually exploited is interpreted differently around the world depending on the recipient's world view, religious tradition and political ideology. For example, for the Muslim tsunami victim in Indonesia, relief supplies given were frequently viewed as politically motivated to convert them to Western culture or religion or to win political favor. Compassion ministries are not a substitute for proclamation. Both are integral to biblical mission as taught and modeled by Jesus. Together, they are a powerful living statement of the life-changing Word!
We determined that Jesus Christ would be openly at the heart of everything we do. If we take the message and person of Jesus away, lives may be touched momentarily, but they will not be transformed.
3. No social action is value free. Christian ministries should not be apologetic or defensive because our social action is shaped by our Christian values and faith. All social action is shaped by the political, social and religious ideologies of the individuals or organizations behind it. Whether Christian, Hindu, Muslim, atheist, liberal or feminist, none are value free! Our compassion grows out of our relationship with Jesus Christ, and acts of compassion are a natural extension of his work in our lives.
The church has a great opportunity today to connect our faith in practical ways with the world's most gripping social needs. In the case of human trafficking and HIV/AIDS, government leaders, criminal justice agencies and social services are looking for answers. In the area of aftercare for survivors of sex trafficking, few programs offer qualified care, and among those that exist, non-faith-based programs have a poor success rate. What an opportunity for the church to bring new life, healing and hope where little or none exists!
Little did we know when our Project Rescue team began this journey in 1997 that God would use us to take the love and light of Jesus Christ to the world's darkest places. But how fitting! It is in the face of hell that the message of the love, grace and power of Jesus Christ shines most brightly.
Eighty percent of the women and children now being rescued out of the brothels in Mumbai, India, are HIV positive.
The problem of human trafficking is not just a Third-World issue. The U.S. State Department estimates 18,000–20,000 women and children are being trafficked annually into the United States for the purposes of sexual exploitation.
Beth Grant (M.A. 1979) and her husband, David (M.A. 1979),
serve as the Eurasia area directors for Project Rescue
(www.projectrescue.com). Beth is also a member of the
AGTS Board of Directors.
Project Rescue has led a coalition of faith-based groups to
producea new curriculum—"Hands that Heal: An International
Curriculum to Train Caregivers of Survivors of Sex Trafficking."
It will be available in October 2007

Royal Baby on the way!
The wait is almost over. Prince William's wife Kate Middleton -- the Duchess of Cambridge -- went into labor this morning. Once the baby is born, a Notice of Birth will be placed outside the doors of Buckingham Palace.
Royal historian Anna Whitelock tells London's Sky News the birth notice on an easel is a theatrical tradition of the palace. There, the world will finally find out some of the details about the infant like gender, time of birth and weight. Whether it's a boy or a girl, the couple's first child will be the third in line to the British throne.
Royal historian Anna Whitelock says the birth notice on an easel outside Buckingham Palace is a theatrical tradition of the palace.

This week the Journal of the American Medical Association released an opinion piece in regards to the issue of obese children. Their stance was that putting these children in foster care would be more ethical than obesity surgery. The author of this piece is joining forces with advocates who claim that the government should be allowed to intervene in extreme cases. So, should parents lose custody of the extremely obese child?
Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Harvard-affiliated Children's Hospital Boston, feels it isn't the point to blame the parents, but to act in the child's best interest to get them the help they need for whatever reason the parent can't provided. I don't know about many parents feel about this but in my opinion, this would be a clear case of government overreaching their authority.
Ludwig is quoted, "State intervention ideally will support not just the child but the whole family, with the goal of reuniting child and family as soon as possible. That may require instruction on parenting," Ludwig, along with Lindsey Murtugh who is a lawyer at Harvard's School of Public Health, wrote this article. "Despite the discomfort posed by state intervention, it may sometimes be necessary to protect a child," Murtagh said.
While I feel that this is a problem in the United States and is the responsibility of the parents to provide healthy choices for their children, others like bioethicist Art Caplin feel it can be blame on other factors as well. He states, "obese children are victims of advertising, marketing, peer pressure and bullying _ things a parent can't control." Caplin continues "If you're going to change a child's weight, you're going to have to change all of them," Caplan said.
I can see his statement in regards to advertising and marketing, but peer pressure and bullying?
This has gotten out of hand with people who feel that the government needs to be involved in issues that they have no authority to be in. Where does it end? By what "standard" are they going to gauge a child being obese?
What has happened to this country where we remove ourselves from responsibility? Over the last few years, the federal government has been expanding their authority and if this is the next thing where they (government) are to get involved in, where does it stop?
Yes, these days families either have both parents working or consist of a single parent. Being with our children have become less and less as parents struggle to keep their financial lives in order. There are those though that just don't care what their kids eat, but does that now make it the responsibility of the state? As it is, the government can't even take care of the issues they are required to handle and now let's throw in raising obese children. Ultimately this is a personal issue and that's it. If it falls into child endangerment, child abuse or neglect, that one thing, but this crossing the line.
There are currently nearly two million children in the United States who considered extremely obese. As it is, the foster care system has trouble finding foster homes for the kids that need it. How would the system improve with adding obese children into the mix?

WATCH: Phillie Phanatic stars in MLB spoof of viral video 'What Does the Fox Say?'
If you've come this far in your Internet-surfing life without encountering the bizarre video by Norwegian duo Ylvis called "What Does the Fox Say?" then you're a better (luckier?) person than most. Your streak might end here, though.
Looking to tap into the viralness of "What Does the Fox Say?" (293 million views and counting) the Philadelphia Phillies made a parody starring their mascot, the Phillie Phanatic. It's something else. The original is weird enough but add the cackling and honking of the Phanatic in the chorus and the piercing "Go Phillies" stuff at 2:20, and you may think somebody slipped LSD into your coffee.

Gate of Heaven Cemetery-Hawthorne NY
The Gate of Heaven Cemetery, approximately 25 miles north of New York City, was established in 1917 at 10 West Stevens Ave. in Hawthorne, Westchester County, New York, as a Roman Catholic burial site. Among its famous residents is baseball player Babe Ruth, whose grave has an epitaph by Cardinal Francis Spellman and is almost always adorned by a large number of baseballs, bats, and caps. Adjacent to the Garden Mausoleum is a small train station of the Metro North Railroad Harlem Division named Mount Pleasant where 4 trains stop daily, 2 northbound and 2 southbound. Several baseball players are buried here.

Can Caesarean be harmful for a baby?
I am going to have a caesarean but I was told that babies born with caesarean have worse immune system and are weaker against any infection or disease than babies born with a vaginal birth. please give me your opinions about the best way of giving a birth without doing any harm to a baby.
Thanks a lot in advance,

In a normal birth, the safest delivery method for mom and baby is always a vaginal delivery. If your midwife suggests a C-Section then there would likely be a medical reason for this. But in a normal delivery like most women experience, a spontaneous vaginal delivery is best.
I would encourage you to watch this home birth video to see what an ideal vaginal delivery looks like. You'll notice there are no bright lights which can be hard on baby's eyes. You'll notice that mum gets to hold baby and baby doesn't leave mum's side (even when the midwife checks the baby). You'll notice it's a relaxed, peaceful setting and mum is allowed to give birth as her body directs her too. Daddy catches the baby There are things you can do to prepare yourself physically, mentally and emotionally for a peaceful, "easy" birth. This video shows that.

His successor doesn't take over until Thursday, but Rep. David Dreier, R-San Dimas, has already closed his offices in San Dimas.
His district office on Foothill Boulevard in San Dimas closed Dec. 19, according to a hand-written note on the door. And his office in Washington, D.C., closed Dec. 21, according to a phone message.
Dreier's district has included parts of western San Bernardino County and eastern Los Angeles County since 1981, but he opted not to run after his former 26th Congressional District was scrapped during redistricting.
Another retiring congressman, Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands, has also closed his offices in Redlands and Washington.
At lameduck Rep. Joe Baca's San Bernardino district office, Friday was moving day. The front door was locked, the phones disconnected and office supplies sat stacked atop lobby furniture.
One of Baca's staff members, who declined to give his name, said the San Bernardino office was open and fielding calls on Wednesday and Thursday.
The office, he said, officially closed Friday. He said he was not sure if Baca's Washington office would remain open through Monday to field calls from constituents should they call.
Both Lewis and Baca remain in Washington in case of a vote on the pending financial crisis.
The office closures are drawing attacks from The Action in California, a group campaigning in support of President Barack Obama's tax plan.
"It's really unfortunate they're doing this, because we are really at a critical time right now," said Nicole Derse of The Action in California.
Whether representatives close operations early, those who don't win another term or choose not to run must make way for their replacements.
About 200 offices have been prepared for incoming Congress members since the election, according to Capitol Hill officials, and soon-to-be former members are required to vacate their spaces by late November or early December.
Derse said members of Congress should be accessible to constituents while lawmakers try to hammer out a compromise on the "fiscal cliff" budgetary scenario that calls for automatic spending cuts on Tuesday if the two political parties don't reach a budget compromise.
Derse's group singled out Sacramento-area Rep. Dan Lungren and Rep. Elton Gallegly of Camarillo for closing offices early.
The district office of Rep. Howard Berman, D-Van Nuys, was closed Friday and a receptionist there said she was waiting for the phone company to shut down the phone lines.
The phone lines for the offices of Rep. Lynn Woolsey of the Santa Rosa area were disconnected.
Berman, Woolsey, Lungren and Gallegly all lost their election campaigns last month.
And Mike Spence, a prominent San Gabriel Valley Republican operative, wondered if constituents actually cared enough to call their members of Congress.
"If there were real constituents calling and wanting to talk about the fiscal cliff instead of worrying about Christmas and working to pay off their bills, I guess that would make this an issue," he said.
Frustrated by the stalemate of negotiations over the fiscal cliff, Los Angeles activist Barbara Broide launched a petition Friday asking legislators to "Occupy Congress" until a deal is reached. The petition, available at Signon.org, is directed at all politicians, including outgoing ones.
"We call on our Senators and Representatives to Occupy Congress 24/7 until a budget agreement has been reached and your job has been done," the petition reads.
Staff writers Joe Nelson and Sandra Emerson contributed to this report.

The Civil Enforcement Division generally is the Department's plaintiff's civil litigation arm, but also enforces selected criminal laws. The division is organized into five sections:
The Charitable Activities Section supervises and regulates the activities of charitable and, to some extent, other not-for-profit organizations. The section also enforces laws related to charitable trusts, charitable solicitations and nonprofit gaming. The fees it collects support its operations. The section has the ability to investigate and initiate civil legal actions against organizations in violation of the law. In most situations, the program works informally with charitable organizations to correct violations. Learn more.
The Civil Recovery section assists state agencies when litigation assistance in bankruptcy or post-judgment assistance of counsel is necessary to recover on a claim for money or monetary damages owed to the state; or to recover, or protect the state's interest in, real or personal property. Any state agency may refer cases to this section.
Civil Recovery attorneys and staff are located in Department of Justice offices in Pendleton, Portland, Salem, Eugene and Medford and handle child support enforcement hearings in all 36 Oregon counties.
The section's legal functions include:
Other Services:
The section also provides preventative legal advice in the form of periodic seminars that educate state agencies in the areas of collection, small claims court procedures and bankruptcy.
The Department of Justice's Division of Child Support receives legal assistance from section attorneys in establishing, enforcing and modifying child support orders, paternity judgments and medical support orders. Attorneys work with the administrative offices located in Salem and with the twelve branch offices located in Oregon communities. In addition, attorneys provide the Division with legal advice regarding administration of the Oregon Child Support Program.
The Child Advocacy Section helps protect abused, neglected and abandoned children throughout Oregon by providing vigorous court representation and comprehensive legal advice to the Department of Human Services' Child Welfare Program (DHS).
Child Advocacy attorneys and associated staff are located in Department of Justice offices in Portland, Salem, Eugene and Medford. Attorneys regularly appear in juvenile and circuit court hearings and child support enforcement hearings in all 36 Oregon counties.
Section attorneys provide a wide range of legal advice and counsel to DHS child welfare workers, including legal review and staffing of all DHS dependency cases at two critical points during the first year of those cases. The attorneys often represent DHS in contested juvenile and circuit court hearings. Frequent litigation issues include provision of services to children and parents, intervention in the court proceedings by relatives or other interested persons, and overall permanency for children. If the return of children to a parent is not safe or legally possible, Section attorneys provide litigation services to DHS to help achieve safe and permanent placements for those children, including adoption subsequent to termination or relinquishment of parental rights, permanent foster care, guardianship, and other appropriate alternatives.
The Financial Fraud/Consumer Protection Section fosters competition in a free and fair marketplace by educating consumers and businesses, and by invoking the Attorney General's civil enforcement authority to deter, stop, and punish unlawful conduct when education fails. The section enforces the Unlawful Trade Practices Act, commonly known as Oregon's consumer protection law.
Consumer complaints continue to be the primary method of identifying potential fraud and marketplace abuses.
The section's Consumer Hotline receives tens of thousands of calls annually. The section staffs the Hotline's phones with volunteers from 8:30 - 4:30 daily.
As written complaints are received, the section's Enforcement Officers informally investigate and, where appropriate, mediate disputes between businesses and consumers. Thousands of consumers receive restitution through this process.
The section's investigators and attorneys routinely assist other state agencies in the discharge of their regulatory responsibilities including agencies such as the Department of Consumer and Business Services, Construction Contractors Board, Department of Agriculture, Department of Human Resources, Oregon State Mortuary and Cemeteries Board, the Secretary of State's office and the Public Utilities Commission.
The section places special emphasis on collaborating with other agencies to attack scams targeting older Oregonians.
The section devotes significant resources to consumer education through distribution of publications on many consumer topics in English and Spanish.
The section's Consumer Information Coordinator is a regular speaker at events and locations around the state, including senior centers, service clubs, local fairs, radio talk shows and community gatherings. To schedule a presentation, contact the outreach coordinator at (503) 507-1061.
Oregon consumers purchasing goods or services for personal, family or household purposes are protected by the Unlawful Trade Practices Act (UTPA). The Department is the primary enforcer of the statute.
The law requires that businesses be advised of the problem and be given an opportunity to enter into an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance (AVC) before the Department files a formal complaint. An AVC requires the business to stop the unlawful practice and agree to not violate the law in the future. AVCs are filed in court and a violation of the AVC is considered contempt of court.
In cases where businesses are engaged in conduct that may result in financial harm to consumers, the Attorney General may file a complaint and ask for $25,000 penalties for each violation, an injunction, attorneys fees and restitution.
The Attorney General is authorized by law to enforce both federal and state antitrust laws. Enforcement responsibilities are assigned to the Financial Fraud/Consumer Protection Section.
Typical antitrust complaints involve allegations of price fixing, unlawful group boycotts and bid rigging. The section has also participated in review of proposed mergers. The victims include consumers who are impacted by higher prices and limited choice of goods, and businesses that are deprived of the chance to compete fairly for customers. Antitrust matters are often complex and frequently involve other jurisdictions. Thus, much of Oregon's enforcement activity is conducted in cooperation with other states and with the federal government.
The Medicaid Fraud Unit deters, investigates and prosecutes fraud by Medicaid providers and physical or financial abuse/neglect of residents of Medicaid-funded facilities.
The Medicaid Fraud Unit receives referrals from many sources, including federal, state and local agencies; social service organizations; law enforcement agencies; provider associations; insurance companies; and private citizens. The Unit must first consider all referrals for potential criminal prosecution and, in appropriate cases, the unit may utilize available civil remedies.
If a case is to be pursued criminally, it is referred to the appropriate District Attorney's office. In most instances, a unit attorney will prosecute the case as a special assistant district attorney under an agreement with the local DA's office.
Health care fraud enforcement is a national priority. Oregon's Medicaid Fraud Unit works with the FBI, OIG investigators, and U.S. Justice Department officials in investigations of Medicaid providers alleged to be involved in nationwide or regional billing fraud schemes. These large-scale cooperative cases may take several years to investigate, but cases already pursued have brought millions of dollars back to the Medicaid program, and hundreds of thousands of dollars back to Oregon.

Poly-cystic Ovarian
We are trying to have another child since my daughter is already 5yrs. old and its been a yr of trying, luck has not come around. Does anyone have any idea if having a poly-cystic ovary holds a factor being not able to conceive?
20th August 2013 06:18 AM #2
Thank you for your post. I am sorry to hear that you seem to be having problems conceiving.
Yes there is a condition called PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) which can cause women difficulties conceiving because it can stop a woman from ovulating. Have you been diagnosed with PCOS?
The good news is that many women who have PCOS do go on to conceive, they just need may some extra help doing so. As you have been trying to conceive for 12 months, I would recommend you seeing your doctor to check you and your partner's fertility as most couples (who are regularly having sex) will conceive within 12 months of trying.
There is helpful information and support for women who have PCOS here at POSAA. There is lots of useful information about improving your fertility levels when you have PCOS here.
Did you have any problems conceiving your daughter?
I am aware that this is a lot of information! Please post back any further questions you have here and we will do our very best to support you. Please also take heart that many women who have PCOS go on to conceive successfully.
Best wishes,

Yumminess here! I've pinned this one. Thank you.
Just wanted to let you know that I made these "black and white" style with white chocolate and dark chocolate. It was a HUGE hit with the family and with the people in my office. Thanks for such an awesome recipe, this is going in the "family tradition" box for sure.
Did you just do the dark chocolate on the outside?
Yum these look fantastic. 🙂
Oh goodness! These look fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing on Marvelous Mondays! I have pinned this recipe as well!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Pinning these. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.
Featuring YOU today! Thanks for linking up to {wow me} wednesday.
Ginger @ gingersnapcrafts.com
These were a huge hit on Thanksgiving. My husband and father were raving about them. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Do you have a recipe for gingersnaps, to make the crumbs? I didn't see one when I searched your site. Also, how many cookies would make 3/4 cup of crumbs? Thanks.
I made these, and they were a success. Do you know if they freeze well?
Also, have you considered giving comment-ers the option of subscribing, so they know when someone responds to their comment?
Thanks, as always.
I made these at least three times last holiday season. They were a huge hit every time. I'm sure I'll have to make them again this year or else I'll hear about it! People's faces just light up when they taste them!
These look incredibly yummy… Cannot wait to make them! My daughter in law will be my BFF if In make them for her! 😉 Thanks for the recipe!
These look fantastic and I'd love to bring them to my Thanksgiving dinner. I did have a question, though. When you add the ingredients to the cooled white chocolate in the beginning, how does the chocolate not seize up when the cooler ingredients are added? If they are all at room temperature (including the cream cheese), will it be OK? I have had an incredible amount of trouble with chocolate in the past and would love any tips!
Well you could do what my dad and I did when I was little and I still do occasionally today if I don't just bake the filling in a pie pan: dig a spoon into the pie and just eat the filling and leave the crust. We drove mom nuts doing this LOL
Wondering if anyone has made these… "without" …gingersnap cookie crumbs?
Dislike that flavor — thinking of making with 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs instead.
Sampled a frozen pumpkin ball prior to dipping in white chocolate. Oh my! These are going to be deadly! 🙂 I used fresh pumpkin purée… it was divine.
Making these for our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. I used the new Greek Cream Cheese and so far has seemed to work well. One question – the filling is not as thick as say oreo truffles are – Can you add extra cookie/graham crumbs to thicken up the filling a bit without ruining the flavor? Has anyone tried this?
I added extra cinnamon and I also added some homemade pumpkin pie spice to increase the flavor in mine (my husband always complains that pumpkin recipes are too bland) and it worked out beautifully – the flavor is perfect for us.
Letting the filling sit in fridge overnight and finishing in the morning. Hoping I have enough time!!
These look amazing …. Can you by chance tell me how many ginger snaps I will need is one box enough ???

Cathal Pendred gets his CWFC welterweight title shot in London on March 9...
Cathal Pendred gets his CWFC welterweight title shot in London on March 9...
It's a good fight, but to be fair it's no Semi Pro NSAC B Class Catchweight Title fight with no elbows in Lancashire featuring someone's mate who they occasionally train with. Which is what people rave on about nowadays.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
To be fair, it is a massive fight. I thing Grimaud takes it just. Don't think there is a lack of appreciation there for the fight, maybe just as it's a little while away people have yet to build up any hype.
Do agree that some strange matches get talked up as the "fight of the year" or of fighters that are so awesome. More credit needs to be given for shows that put on big match-ups that are meaningful not a Catchweight contest that determines the best fighter in their village
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Close fight, Pendred didnt really get enough credit for me on last years wins. Bielkheden and Carvahlo are two hugely experienced guys to get wins over.
Pendred is leit for sure both the fights mentioned above were class...
Cant belive Kainer is hating on the North AGAIN
Cathal Pendred:
"I believe I'm the best fighter in my weight class in Europe and on March 9 I'm going to win the most prestigious title available from a European promotion."
Will it be held in an empty conference room? With maybe 4 or 5 people?

LOS ANGELES — A preliminary hearing date has been scheduled for a former Long Beach Police Officer charged with more than 40 sex-related crimes involving more than a dozen underage girls and three young women, authorities said Monday.
Noe Yanez, 40, is charged with 29 felony counts and 13 misdemeanor counts, including unlawful sexual intercourse, oral copulation of a person under 18, sexual penetration by a foreign object of a person under 18 and false imprisonment by fraud or deceit.
He was assigned to the Patrol Division at the time of the alleged crimes. Police and prosecutors haven't said if he met his victims through his job, citing the sensitive nature of the investigation.
The nine-year veteran of the force has been held in custody on more than $1.2 million bail since his second arrest May 9.
Yanez was first arrested and booked April 19 on possession of child pornography following an investigation into the alleged inappropriate contact with a high school student, which, according to police, began with text messages and the solicitation of inappropriate photographs.
The Long Beach Police Department launched its investigation after the girl reported the alleged contact to a school resource officer in March, police said.
Yanez was released on bond April 20 and was re-arrested on May 9, when prosecutors amended the charge to include the dozens of alleged sex crimes that took place with 13 underage girls and three young women between January 2008 and April 13, police and prosecutors said.
Yanez was suspended without pay following his initial arrest and has since left the Police Department, city officials said.
He is scheduled to return to the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on Oct. 11 for his preliminary hearing, court staff said Monday.
Preliminary hearings provide the court with an overall view of the case so that a judge can determine whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial.

Last week, the Maloof brothers, the not-so-unknown founders of the Maloof Money Cup, put myself, other media heads, and a handful of skaters, up in hotel rooms at the Palms Casino And Hotel in Las Vegas for somewhat of a pre-party for the second annual Maloof Money Cup coming July 10-12. I sat down with Joe Maloof, and unexpected guest Lizard King, to see exactly what we can expect this year.
Joe, what were your initial thoughts after last year's contest?
You know, I think it exceeded all my expectations and I know that's a phrase that's used a lot with these type of things, but in my eyes I've never had so much fun in my life. It was an event that the skaters enjoyed. When I saw them happy, I was happy. I wanted to gauge their reaction first. Is it the real thing? Did we do it right? Is it core? Did we sell out? And I got the answer from the skaters, 'cause this year we got even more [skaters] and we got the best in the world.
Why did you decide to get into skateboarding as opposed to hockey, soccer, or some other kind of sport?
My brother and I did a basketball camp for many years in Sacramento and it got a little stale, a little boring. So, I said lets do something that's fun and when I looked out the window all I would see was skateboarding, skateboarding, skateboarding—everything skateboarding. I said, "You know what, lets do a skateboarding camp." So, that's how it started, as a camp, and then it progressed into a contest.
Interview continued below
Continued from above
[Lizard King pays us an unexpected visit and joins the conversation] Lizard King: It doesn't matter. If you ride a skateboard, you're a homey for life.
JM: One thing I learned about these guys is they all stick together. There's a brotherhood in skateboarding that you don't see in any other sport. They stick together, they support each other, and they want each other to do well.
LK: It's not even a competition, it's more of a psych your homey out thing. Like, someone lands something, and all right, then take this one.
JM: [To Lizard] How long you been skating for?
LK: For like fifteen years now. It's the only thing I've even been good at. I got nothing else.
JM: And you know what, guys like this can make a living now. Why not treat these guys like rock stars, treat them as celebrities. What I learned in skateboarding is something about the demographics, especially with the pros. It's just like a NBA team—they're 19–34 years old. They're really good athletes, they have tremendous abilities, and the tricks that they accomplish are daring, very daring. And I don't know if it's a dangerous sport or…
LK: It's a f—ked up sport, man. You got to put that passion on the line every time.
JM: And you know one thing, when you fall down, just like in life, you need to get back up. In anything that you do, I learned that as a kid. I'm sure Lizard here knows it.
Joe, now that Lizard's here where do you see him placing in this contest?
I think he'll make it [laughs]. He wants to get a $100,000 first prize, right?
LK: I'm trying to mess sh-t up.
[Someone else drops in on the conversation]: They were talking about him entering the vert 'cause he can skate The Mega.
LK: Yeah, I skated the Mega Ramp a little while ago.
JM: How was that?
LK: It's scary as sh-t.
Lizard, how many tries did it take you to air over it?
Seventeen to land it.
LK: All those dudes who skate the Mega Ramp are out of their minds.
JM: Lizard is tremendous. He's got a little flare to him, some color.
LK: I try to keep that passion.
Joe, the Maloofs seem like a family that are never going to settle or plateau out, how are you going to step up the contest year after year?
I learned one thing in life early on that my father taught me. What you do good today, you have to do better tomorrow. We had a tremendous event, a very great event last year, and we figured how are we gonna make it better? Number one, always have the top skaters—you got to have the best in the world.
LK: The passion.
JM: The passion. You got to have guys that really care and that really want to be involved. Number two, take care of 'em. Treat 'em right, treat their girlfriends right, treat their wives right. I've been at other contests where their girlfriends can't get in to an area to see their boyfriends skate or their husbands skate, so this year we're going to have a special section for them.
LK: I get that sh-t a lot. I roll into places and people sketch out on me. I'll go order some food and a drink and they'll give me my tab instantly. Everyone else is like on a bar tab, fine. Just pay us when you pay us. Are you kidding me?!
Joe, how has etnies helped the advancement of the contest?
Well, etnies came in and were one of the first partners we had. They all believed in the event and they taught us—we came in actually with our hat in hand. We asked the sponsors, we asked the etnies of the world, especially the skaters themselves, how do we do this? They gave us their input and we took that input, put it together and came out with this Maloof Money Cup.
Where do you see the Maloof Money Cup in five years? Will we ever see a one million dollar first place prize?
[Laughs] These guys deserve it. People don't realize how hard these guys work to do the things they do—it takes a lot of heart. They get banged down, banged down, and then get up. How many repetitions do they do?
LK: Oh, I love getting hurt more than anything in the world.
JM: It just fascinates me.
Joe, who're you putting your money on this year? Who's your pick for the 2009 Money Cup?
I got too many friends, I don't want to… [laughs]. Someday I think this Money Cup is going to be as big as basketball, I can see it because not everyone can be six-foot-nine, 275 pounds, but there's guys like Lizard, that have a heart as big as those basketball players that have something that they do that's just as graceful and that's why I believe in the sport—the lifestyle. I really do.
LK: That's why I love it, man.
JM: Yeah, Lizard's as big as a competitor as Kobe Bryant.
