Selena Gomez reportedly fired her mom and step dad as her management team last week after deciding to seek more professional representation.
And, as if having to fire her own parents wasn't already bad enough… Selena failed to even let them know.
Selena's Mom Mandy Teefey said she had no warning that the "Come and Get It" singer was about to axe them as her manager and only found out about it through the press.
The ex-Momager told TMZ she and Selena's step dad sat down with the singer on Thursday after reading the news to make sure she was ready to move on. Selena confessed she was.
The gossip website claims Mandy is still having a difficult time processing the decision after overseeing Selena's career for so many years (since her first big break on Wizards of Waverly Place).
However, Mandy says she respects her daughter's decision and plans to continue producing several movie projects with her in the future.

Master of Arts (Academic Tracks)
The Master of Arts (Academic Tracks) program is for students who desire to study the Word of God and want to enhance their awareness of how they are a part of the mission of God in bringing righteousness, justice, and peace to the world. Students may choose from two tracks: Missional Theology or Biblical Studies.
MA Theology/Bible students unpack how the character of God is progressively revealed in the biblical story that eventually presents us the good news of the Gospel. They examine how a holy God pursues relationship with unholy creatures, to reconcile fellowship, transform the ungodly, and restore the broken and disfigured; and they see that this is the mission to which He calls us, as well.
Our entire curriculum is used to train in missional leadership, understand God's word from a Christotelic perspective, and instruct in a way that encourages students to go and be the message of God to a hurting culture. While our approach to the Bible and theology is practical and will equip you for real life ministry, this MA is a great program for students who desire to pursue further academic study in the Bible or theology.
Why a Master of Arts from BTS?
The MA Missional Theology track program will enable students to understand the mission of God in the world and their place in it. The program is designed to provide graduate theological study for men and women desiring to strengthen their spiritual basis for life and work whether in a secular career ministry or in a church ministry. This 48-credit MA rigorously engages students in the theological and cultural ideas of our day, from a biblically missional perspective. Students will learn the key persons, ideas, and movements in the history of theology and the Christian tradition, along with their significance today
Our MA Biblical Studies track program provides in-depth studies of the Bible, in the original languages, from a missional perspective. Students focus on the Old Testament or the New Testament to fulfill the 48 credits of the program. The degree offers each student the opportunity to interact and dialogue with both faculty and fellow students in the program, enhancing both intellectual and vocational growth.

I came across an interesting opinion piece in the UK guardian this morning by George Monbiot. The Guardian's website has been running a series of articles on the decline of local newspapers in the UK and the consequences this can have for local democracy, but Monbiot (as usual) raises some challenges.
In particular, he highlights how rare it is for existing local newspapers to act as genuine force for local government accountability by speaking truth to power. Monbiot being Monbiot, he probably only defines truth as anti-capitalist views and power as multi-national corporations, but his basic point is useful: that simple economics makes it difficult for private sector local media to challenge local vested interests, whether in government or the provate sector. Can a local newspaper dare to undermine its own advertising revenues by joining a campaign against a new supermarket (as in his case) or by challenging a case of corruption involving local political and business elites. Elite-capture is pretty much guaranteed.
There are examples of news organisations designed to be neither state-run nor profit-oriented. The BBC is the most famous example, but the (UK) Guardian newspaper itself is another. The BBC gets a form of public subsidy through TV licenses and the Guardian is run on a non-profit basis, owned by a Trust. It must be possible to take something of these examples and develop a model of local media that funded from a more divserse range of sources and therefore less dependent on advertising revenue from a small pool of potential advertisers.
Subsidies would be the obvious answer (with public interest content being subsidised, or similar), but a franchise/syndication model could also potentially bring in national advertisers to reduce dependence on local elites. Watch this space to see how Daraja's approach to this problem, under the working title of Twende Pamoja, develops.

Tushar Sachade
Executive Director (Tax and Regulatory Services)
Restrictions on flows that look suspicious, enhance the markets' reputation and lead to healthy flows.
India's growth, the second-fastest among the world's 20 major economies, has been luring foreign investors in droves, with the Sensex touching record levels. The sharp rise has been attributed to FII investments, with 75 per cent of floating stock in FII hands and 52 per cent of FIIs' AUC in the form of P-Notes. Further, while most Asian currencies have appreciated against the dollar since April, the rupee has risen the most - it rose 10.08 per cent against the dollar while the yuan rose only 2.93 per cent.
It is in this backdrop that Sebi introduced restrictions on P-Notes citing concerns over the copious inflows and anonymity that P-Notes offer. From the P-Notes issuers' perspective, while we have FIIs/sub-accounts directly investing in India, they have also been acting as a conduit for third-party investments by way of issue of P-Notes. The P-Notes-issuing business is presumably a significant revenue churner for FIIs/sub-accounts. With the restriction on P-Notes, this business is likely to be curtailed.
Both conceptually and in practice, restrictions on suspicious flows enhance the reputation of markets and lead to healthy flows. In spite of KYC norms and disclosure requirements, there are inherent limits to the extent to which the identity of a beneficial P-Note investor can be determined. On account of the limitations of disclosure norms coupled with the need to regulate the quality of inflows and control enhanced volatility, the restrictions on P-Notes were warranted.
Further, from a P-Note investor's perspective, while anonymous investors need to be clearly prohibited from indirectly accessing the Indian market, Sebi has indicated its willingness to broad-base the criteria for direct registration. This would lead to a tectonic shift in the investment model followed by erstwhile genuine P-Note investors, who would now seek to directly participate in the Indian market. The relaxation of track record and regulated entity criteria for pension funds is a welcome initiative, in this direction. The regulator should look at further liberalising the regulated entity front to allow front-door entry for more investors, such as, hedge funds who are willing to accept greater transparency and disclosure norms.
While the P-Notes restriction has not raised an entry barrier to capital inflows, it has channellised the same through the main door where the regulator can keep a watch. Further, the introduction of new products such as security lending and borrowing, ability to short sell and long-term derivative contracts, along with improvements in the investment platform for institutional investors, would in our view, act as a catalyst in making India a truly mature capital market. The P-Notes restriction is a landmark event in the history of Indian capital markets and will help in creating a cleaner market where the identity of all investors is known, thereby ensuring good quality funds and preventing sudden outflows.
Lokesh Nathany
National Head (PMS & Wealth Management)
Almondz Global Securities
Volatility will rise in the near term as not more than 40% of an FII's assets can be invested via P-Notes.
Any regulations, when introduced, have a reaction time and an application time. The new restrictions introduced by Sebi on the use of P-Notes by FIIs and on hedge funds are going through the reaction phase.
The capital markets reacted with a rally and touched an all-time high surprising everybody who expected the markets to correct. The restrictions will surely have a negative impact on the markets over the short term. The futures market will bear the brunt as FIIs will wind up their positions over the next 18 months. The current volumes will also go down as no fresh exposure via P-Notes is allowed till they register as FIIs. Volatility may increase in the spot markets in the near term as not more than 40 per cent of an FII's assets under custody can be invested via P-Notes. The other negative implication will be on the taxation front. Currently many foreign investors route their investments through FIIs, who are registered in Mauritius and thereby enjoy the tax treaty. Many FIIs who will register now may not be registered in Mauritius and hence may not get advantage of the tax treaty.
A huge pipeline of IPOs by corporate India to raise capital supported by relatively small domestic funds coupled with the lesser incremental flows from large foreign funds will weigh on the Indian market performance in the coming six months. We may also see a slow-down in the pace of currency appreciation and reduction in excess domestic liquidity accumulation. Overall, the restrictions will have a negative impact on liquidity, currency and markets, thereby increasing the volatility in the near future.
The long-term implication on the markets, however, is very positive as the new regulations will ensure that more stable and reliable funds enter the Indian market. The biggest danger for an emerging market like India is being flush with funds from unknown sources in good times and seeing the flight of capital during difficult times. The current restrictions will restrict inflows in the short term but over the long term, the flows will be steadier, clean and will stay for longer periods.
Another positive feature of the new guidelines is the permission to allow a new set of investors like pension funds, foundations, endowments, university funds and charitable firms or societies. These categories of funds are by nature long-term investors. Another important relaxation by the regulator is the withdrawal of compulsory renewal of registration by FIIs every three years.
India is one of the most attractive markets currently, not just on the basis of its current bull run but also due to the huge demographic and intellectual advantages making it an attractive consumption and outsourcing story. This is the time to put restrictions to ensure that the house is in order. Investors will flock to India sooner or later as they cannot afford to miss the India growth story.More Specials

Carmen Bradford, born July 19, 1960, in Austin, TX, raised in Altadena, CA, is the daughter of trumpeter/ composer Bobby Bradford and vocalist/composer Melba Joyce. Her grandfather Melvin Moore sang with Lucky Millender's Big Band in the 1940's, making Carmen the third generation of incredible musicians. She was hired by Count Basie as featured vocalist in his Orchestra for 9 years. She performed and recorded with Wynton Marsalis, Shelly Berg, John Clayton and the Clayton Hamilton Orchestra, Nancy Wilson, Doc Severinsen, Tony Bennett, James Brown, Patti Austin, Byron Stripling, Dori Caymmi, George Benson, Lena Horne, Frank Sinatra, Joe Williams, DIVA Jazz Orchestra, the National Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and countless artists worldwide.

Carmen began another chapter in her illustrious career as a solo artist with her critically acclaimed debut album "Finally Yours" (Evidence Records) in 1992. The 1995 release of her second album, "With Respect," established the Atlanta-based singer as one of jazz's most diverse and exciting vocal stylists.

As the class of 2017 settles into college, they are undoubtedly sifting through the conflicting emotions of excitement for a new adventure and nostalgia for the close friends, teammates and teachers with whom they have spent the last four, eight, or even twelve years of their lives. To ease the transition to this new environment - full of potential but lacking the familiar comforts of home - Skidmore provides various opportunities to meet new people who, it just so happens, are experiencing the same environmental angst. Whether facilitated by the Pre-College program, Pre-Orientation, Orientation, Scribner Seminar or classes, most First Years are already in the process of solidifying at least a few close friendships. The importance of these friendships extends beyond the mere construction of a new comfort zone, however, as they play a key role in the maintenance of one's mental and physical health. As the semester progresses and workloads continue to increase (even as the daylight rapidly decreases), even the most organized and prepared students will start to feel stressed, over-whelmed, and as though the only thing they have time for in their "free-time" is homework and studying. Luckily, the remedy is already at your fingertips - literally.
Dozens of recent studies have explored the powerful effects of human touch on certain hormone levels, concluding that such contact can tweak our body's natural chemistry in such a way as to provide natural, stress-reducing effects (such as by reducing levels of cortisol, the infamous "stress hormone"). Why is this important? Because although stress can occasionally work for us by tapping into our body's "fight or flight" response the night before that big paper is due, its effects usually inhibit our brain's ability to learn new information. Furthermore, prolonged stress can take a serious toll on our immune system, potentially compromising our ability to be performance-ready for that test, audition, or game. Ironically, one of the negative effects of stress is a decreased ability to plan and manage stress.
So what should you do? How can you escape this cortisol-packed cycle? Hug it out. Recent studies, such as that done by Light et al. (2005), have found that hugging a close friend, partner, or family member for 20 seconds is enough to release a powerful hormone called oxytocin (often referred to as the "cuddle hormone"). Among other stellar qualities, part of oxytocin's good rep comes from its ability to help decrease cortisol levels, thereby reducing stress and providing a much-needed boost to our immune systems. Want to have that natural dose of oxytocin but need a break from people? Take a stroll down the first floor of Tisch for some quality canine therapy, as recent studies have also found that petting dogs can provide similar beneficial effects. Also, keep a look out for "K9 Connections" this semester, a therapy dog event hosted by your Peer Health Educators!
Want to know more? Check out this Ted Talk by Paul Zak, as he discusses how the effects of oxytocin even extend to social interactions between strangers. In other words, all of those team-building exercises you went through during orientation? They've already given you a head start on the adjustment process, thanks to your new best friend oxytocin.

Budget and Finance Chair's Report: Building Our Resource Base to Achieve LAMA's Mission and Vision
LAMA, like many organizations in the first part of this decade, has been struggling with a financial fact of life: combined revenue from all existing streams (dues, publications, continuing education, donations) is not sufficient to balance the division's operating expenses. The situation developed as a result of a combination of internal circumstances and external economic factors.

Job applicants searching online for employment opportunities, workshop participants learning how to build a better resume, children learning to read or studying after school – these are just a few ways that Susan Nimersheim sees the library being used, especially in tough economic times.
Nimersheim, Grant County's library director, said because usage of the library continues to increase, more space is needed.

Track Listing:
02. Auf dem Wege zu den vergessenen Wäldern (On the way to the forgotten forests) 10.45
Nazgul has frequently commented on the quality of packaging that comes out of W.A.R. Productions, and here is another great example of the sort of thing he's on about. A highly unique (and collectable) set of flora and photographs, in what appears to be a jute bag, with a really well designed 3"CDr and inlays. Quality stuff, and not the sort of release you're going to find everyday that's for certain.
The photos above come from copy #4 of the 50, and as such illustrate both the colour poster (Nazgul's has been kept in its container since 2008 and so won't lie flat without a bit of help, and the photo above cuts off the bottom of the poster which bears the album name) and the white t-shirt with the cover design on it. Both excellent collectors items!
German website www. kulturterrorismus.de called the album "A harmonious tribute to Mother Nature" and that's a rather good summary of the collaboration between Moloch and Uruk Hai on this release. They go on to conclude:
"The two one-man projects from Austria (Uruk-Hai) and Ukraine (Moloch), are both anchored in the Black Metal genre, but give themselves musically to more imaginative ambient sounds, which move in the direction of film score and soundtrack. Both bands contribute to the split ...[in] very good harmony with each other and do not "break" the concept.
The Uruk Hai track here is very much a light, ambient piece and - as the narrative above suggests - contains both female chanting, soft background male vocals at the outset, and delicate synthesiser passages. The percussion is almost tribal in places, which puts me in mind of some of the Ceremony Of Innocence material that was written around this same period. It could never be really described as a 'metal' track in any way, shape or form and nor, for that matter, could the offering from Moloch.
What you do get for your money are two very well crafted and eminently listenable ambient pieces of music that sit nicely as a small mini-album in their own right.
For those keeping up to speed with the Tolkien references, Gil-Galad was the last of the High Kings of the Noldor-in-Exile in Middle-earth. An Elf of the House of Finarfin, he was named High King of the Noldor-in-Exile in Beleriand after the fall of Gondolin and the death of the previous High King, Turgon.
During most of the Second Age, Gil-Galad enjoyed the friendship of the Númenóreans. This proved very useful as during the War of the Elves and Sauron; a great Númenórean force under the command of their king Tar-Minastir helped Gil-galad destroy Sauron's armies. After the Downfall of Númenor and the establishment by the Elendili of the Dúnadan kingdoms in exile, there was peace in Middle-earth. In the Age's closing years, however, Sauron reappeared with a newly formed army and a war against the kingdom of Gondor, closest to his old home of Mordor. Gil-Galad then formed the Last Alliance of Elves and Men with Elendil, High King of the Dúnedain-in-Exile, The armies of Elves and Men, victorious after the Battle of Dagorlad, laid siege to Sauron in Mordor.
At the end of the siege, both Gil-Galad and Elendil aided in the overthrow of Sauron's physical body yet perished themselves in the assault. At the Council of Elrond, Elrond says that only three people survived the final battle with Sauron: Isildur, Círdan, and himself. A record left by Isildur in Minas-Tirith implies that Sauron himself slew Gil-Galad, with the heat of his bare hands.
"Gil-Galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea.
His sword was long, his lance was keen.
His shining helm afar was seen.
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his silver shield.
But long ago he rode away,
And where he dwelleth none can say.
For into darkness fell his star;
In Mordor, where the shadows are."

Tweet Kimball, 84, an heiress who amassed one of the nation's most eclectic art and book collections and established the Cherokee Ranch Foundation, died Friday in Denver.
The heiress of a Tennessee ranching family lived alone in a Scottish-style castle on her 5,000-acre Cherokee Ranch north of Sedalia, Colo. In 1996, she sold development rights to the land for $2 million, and a conservation easement assures the property will remain undeveloped.
Under a living trust, she retained use of about 2,000 acres to raise her champion strain of Santa Gertrudis cattle. The property -- appraised at about $20 million -- is in an area under intense development pressure as an exclusive Front Range residential area.

"Kay was phenomenal! She was energetic, caring, compassionate and funny! She was very well received by the audience and took the time to connect with a few of the audience members prior to the program. She then referenced their interaction in her presentation (very nice). She was uplifting and inspirational and her message was clear -- Laughter is the best medicine. ;-) Awesome!" -- April McGinnis, R.T., Cancer Survivors Celebration, Saginaw, MI
Professional Development and Humor for Nurses
Humor and health come naturally to Kay Wagner, DHA, MSN, RN. As a mother of three, a nurse since 1985, and just your average normal human being living here on earth, Kay has an eclectic assortment of experiences, stories, and life lessons to draw upon for her presentations. She believes that all life experiences, whether good or bad, can ultimately empower people to become more compassionate, caring and courageous individuals.
"Nothing brings me greater joy than to know that I might be able to inspire and motivate others by sharing some of my own real life experiences with meaning, energy, humor and a smile. I'd like to believe that my years as a mother, nurse, entrepreneur, author and speaker have provided me with opportunities, experiences and obstacles that can be shared to help motivate, uplift, inspire and entertain others," she says.
It was as both an audience and committee member, that Kay realized the value of motivational presentations, and listened to the call of the podium. Her first and natural choice for a topic was the benefits of humor on health because everybody needs and deserves a boost from time to time to enhance their overall sense of well being.
Her eldest daughter's diagnosis of a malignant brain tumor in 2002 tested all of her coping skills. Her book, Kara's Courage: A nurse's story of her child's experience with cancer viewed from the other side of the stretcher, is a story of courage, faith, inspiration and facing fear. If it helps just one other individual to seek treatment, gain hope, or simplify their research trail, then Kay feels its purpose will have been met.
As a nurse, Kay is delighted to speak to other nurses — she presented at the AACN (American Association of Critical Care Nurses) NTI (National Teaching Institute) and her program was later chosen by the national organization to be one of only 25 for their pilot web based learning modules.
"I feel that audience members appreciate hearing real life stories from others to enhance their own personal lives. My presentations afford the opportunity for others to sit back, relax, and escape the demands of their busy lives if only for a few minutes. As an audience member at one of my presentations, my ultimate goal is to provide you that boost needed to continue being the best individual you can possibly be both personally and professionally," Kay says.
Most Popular Topics:
Jest to See You Smile: Humor a Facet of Holistic Care
(Title can be changed as appropriate to audience IE: Loosen Up By Getting a Grip on Humor, Humor for the Health of It! )
Humor in the twentieth century, has gained a great deal of recognition as an alternative form of therapy in holistic care. It is a tool that promotes the overall well being of an individual. This presentation will examine humor and its many benefits. This ancient form of expression can empower any individual to cope with and enjoy everyday life.
Redefining the 5 Senses: Increasing Your Personal and Professional Growth Potential
For many, the busy society that we live in today prevents us from taking time to care for ourselves. This hectic lifestyle, however, can drain an individual both physically and psychologically if not equipped with the proper tools to maintain an overall state of well being. In order to care for ourselves and others in a respectful, caring environment, and to contribute to that environment at an optimal level, we must create such an environment in our own personal life.
Redefining the 5 Senses: Increasing Your Personal and Professional Growth Potential includes A Sense of Self, A Sense of Ability, A Sense of Direction, A Sense of Humor, and a Sense of Accomplishment. Choosing alternative means of looking at our senses will help build our personal and professional accountability, our integrity, promote innovation, generate commitment, and embrace life-long learning to continually strive to improve as an individual as well as a professional.
Sabotaging Stress: Turning Distress into Eustress
It's difficult in today's world to keep ourselves balanced in a healthy state, both physically and psychologically. We are faced with the challenges of keeping a balance between home, work, family, and friends. More often, we forget to balance ourselves and fall ill to the many stressors of our environment. We must learn to put some of these same stressors to work for us in a positive fashion in order to maintain a total sense of well being.
A New Era in Nursing: Enabling Professional Empowerment
Historically, nursing has been viewed as an oppressed profession. An understanding of oppressed behaviors may be the first step in overcoming the obstacles that prevent nurses from becoming empowered professionals. The phenomenon of empowerment will be explored as it relates to the culture of nursing.

Patrick James is someone who enjoys collecting things from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police such as buttons, badges, tunics, and any other weird stuff he can easily obtain. Recently, he bought the greatest addition to his Royal Canadian Mounted Police collection, a retired 1980 Plymouth Gran Fury highway patrol car.
For a few decades, the Mopar cars were used by a number of police officers to chase down the bad guys in highway pursuits. Around the mid-1970s, the police patrol cars were not exempted from the strict emission laws and received a heavy blow in both performance and size. Between the "Big Three" car companies, Chrysler was the last one to downsize their cars. In the late 1970s, the "R" body cars were redesigned and left Plymouth behind. This created conflict between dealers who supplied the police cars. In 1980, Plymouth released the Gran Fury "R" body.
The largest engine option available for the Gran Fury was the 360 ci V8 engine. Although it did not have the performance of the legendary Mopars in the early 70s, it was a very reliable engine that was perfect for patrol work. It did have a bit of a problem, the Lean Burn electronic spark control system was prone to failure.
The Canadian police force loved the Plymouth Gran Fury and was used by almost every patrols including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. James' 1980 Plymouth Gran Fury was only used by the RCMP for a short time after sustaining damaged during a collision. It retired as a patrol car with only 8,000 miles on its odometer. It was sold at an auction and found its way in Edmonton, Alberta, where it was stored for several years. In 1997, an RCMP member found the car and saw that the body was in great condition but it needed a bit of work to make it running again. Baker did not buy the car but passed on the word. A police car collector purchased it and had it repaired. The engine was rebuilt and it needed a new transmission, driveshaft, exhaust system, and oil pan.
When the Gran Fury was up and running, Baker bought it and restored the interior. The original seat upholstery was replaced. The Gran Fury was then repainted and restored to its original patrol car look. It features police lights, radio, siren, traffic cones, and even a spike belt. Baker acquired the police parts through some friends at the police force. Patrol cars that are in service features a red/blue light on the roof but this one comes with the red/blue lights embedded in the grille and the rear shelf. Baker owned this Gran Fury until 2006.
James always wanted to have highway patrol car which will be a great addition to his RCMP collection. In 2014, James finally saw the chance to make his wish come true. He bought this Gran Fury patrol car and now regularly brings it in local car shows.
This 1980 Plymouth Gran Fury looks good with a little more than 13,000 miles on its odometer. This Gran Fury was produced at the Lynch Road Assembly line in Detroit in April 1980. A total of 12,576 Gran Furies were built in 1980, both for police and civilian use. Because of their working condition, it is incredibly rare to find a police car in such condition and this one is a great example of a classic Canadian highway patrol car.

The Brazzers brand was launched in early 2005. While their website is managed from Montreal, Canada, the majority of their scenes and photographs are shot in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami, Florida.
Brazzers.com is frequently ranked as one of the top 500 most-viewed websites on the internet.[1]
In The News
In 2008, Brazzers created Mofos Network,[2] a harder-edged site. Mofos Network focuses on girls who are less experienced and relatively unknown in the industry with lighter, uncomplicated storylines.
Brazzers was featured on an episode of MTV's True Life.[3] The MTV crew followed porn star Jayden Jaymes at the 2009 AVN, capturing the star meeting and greeting fans while at the Brazzers booth.
Parental Control
Brazzers adheres to strict parental control standards by using the ICRA labeling system,[4] ICRA is part of the Family Online Safety Institute. Brazzers regulates[5] its site to prevent children from accessing their adult content.
Brazzers came under industry criticism for associating with tube sites such as Pornhub.[6] In response, in 2009, Brazzers initiated an anti-piracy campaign.[7]
In 2008, after being fired by Brazzers, producer Bobby Manila charged Brazzers with a lawsuit for fraud and violating the terms of contract. The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court.[8]
In February 2010, a lawsuit was filed by Pink Visual Studios accusing Brazzer's network parent company of infringing on copyrighted content by distributing unlicensed video content on their highly trafficked free tube sites. Brazzer's network has been accused of benefiting from unlicensed content by indirectly benefiting from traffic from tube sites but this is the first time a well known studio is officially suing them. A class action lawsuit is also being considered by other studios.[9]

"When Sir Rodney first looked at Brazzers Network we thought mmm tasty Milf's and busty beauties. As we delightfully delved more into this huge network we began to realize how much of an awesome site Brazzers Network truly is. This realization didn't come from the content factor alone but other factors also. Sir Rodney enthusiastically recommends Brazzers Network as a Top Pick" () - 'Sir Rodney
"The little tease video on the tour page of Brazzers Network makes the claim that this is the world's best porn site. Now, that is a pretty lofty statement, but you know what? They aren't being completely ridiculous when they say it.The BrazzersNetwork gets you access to 28 sites from the Brazzers production team and these guys do fantastic work.

The following lesson plans comprise a unit that uses television as a learning tool in the subject areas of American History, Civics, and Government and are written for grades 7-12. These classroom activities include: learning objectives; an outline of the relevant national standards met by the plans; a list of necessary tools and materials; a notation regarding the total time needed to complete the individual lessons; a teaching strategy; assessment recommendations; and extension ideas.
Lesson #1: Freedom of Religion: A Supreme Court Simulation
What are the clauses protecting religious practice in the First Amendment? What do they mean and how do they apply to land held sacred by several American Indian nations? How does the Supreme Court function to resolve conflicts arising under the First Amendment? Students will engage in research and interactive exercises to discover the answers to these questions.
Lesson #2: Sacred Ground or Federal Ground? A Conflict Resolution Role Play
The subject of this lesson is a controversy that has deep roots in American History, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Students will learn about the concept of "rights in conflict" arising under the First Amendment (freedom of religion) and through research and role playing, they will interpret a conflict from multiple perspectives, advocate for a point of view and learn how to reach a resolve the conflict.

The Anaheim Union High School District benefits from a strong partnership with the PTA, the largest volunteer, child-advocacy association in the nation, and the critical link between parents and educators.
Since the PTA's founding in 1897 as the National Congress of Mothers, the group has been a powerful voice for children. Without the PTA, there would be no kindergarten classes, no child labor laws, no public health service, no federal lunch programs, no juvenile justice system, and no mandatory immunizations. While the causes have changed through the years, the commitment of PTA members has not wavered. PTA members volunteer an average of 40,000 hours of service annually to our schools.
The Anaheim Secondary Council PTA and its governing body serve the AUHSD. PTA units and their presidents, in turn, serve our campuses. The council and its units fall under the umbrella of the Fourth District PTA, encompassing 21 councils that represent all Orange County PTA members. The mission of the Fourth District PTA is to "empower councils, units, families and community members to become effective advocates for all children and youth."
All members of the Fourth District PTA http://www.fourthdistrictpta.org belong to the California State PTA http://www.capta.org and the National PTA http://www.pta.org.
The PTA's strength is in its members. Becoming a PTA member opens up leadership opportunities, and builds skills in communication and advocacy strategies. The primary reason for developing PTA membership is to build an informed team that speaks together with a common concern on the issues. Please contact Anaheim Secondary Council President Leah Winter firstname.lastname@example.com with questions, or to learn about volunteer opportunities.

Over 160,000 New Yorkers trace their roots back to Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East and North Africa. They represent more than a dozen nationalities and three major religions. An exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York explores what it means to be an Arab-American in the Big Apple.
New York City has the third largest population of Arab-Americans living in the United States. Dating back to the mid-1800s with over five generations of family members, Arab-Americans in New York City are not a new phenomenon. The Museum of the City of New York is exploring the richness and depth of this diverse community with an exhibition called "A Community of Many Worlds: Arab-Americans in New York City."
This distinct metropolis is known the world over for its tolerance and diversity. Where else might you hear this mix of sounds: an Imam reading Koran, an Arab Malachite Catholic reciting the Bible and a Syrian Jew chanting at a religious ceremony?
The Muslim, Christian and Jewish religious chants in Arabic and Hebrew were recently heard at a public program held in conjunction with the exhibition.
The museum's program director Kathy Benson says the story of Arab-Americans in New York City is an immigrant story similar to that of any other immigrant group. The first documented Arab immigrant came in 1854, and a significant wave of mostly Christian Arabs and some Arab Jews came in the late 1880s until 1924. A second wave of immigration, which began in the mid-1960s and continues to the present, includes a sizeable number of Muslim immigrants.
"That is very much like any other immigrant group you can think of and most of the other immigrant groups have also gone through a period when they were stereotyped and denigrated and, of course, that's true, unfortunately, of Arab-Americans even now," Ms. Benson says.
The exhibition was originally scheduled to open in mid-November 2001. But after the September 11 attacks, the organizers of the show postponed the exhibition until a larger space at the museum became available. Ms. Benson says that in light of the attacks on the city and their association with Islam and Arabs, the show took on greater significance. She highlights a part of the exhibition attesting to the museum's belief that Arab-American New Yorkers are no different than any other New Yorkers.
"There is a wall of faces that includes people whom you don't necessarily think of as Arab New Yorkers, or Arab-Americans, because they're all New Yorkers. They're like the rest of us," she says.
A continuously running video shows Arab-Americans talking about what it means to them to be Arab in a city full of immigrants. One woman says the Chinatown section of the city is one of her favorite places.
"I like Canal Street. I like the kind of busy atmosphere there, people from all over the world. You can hear any language almost, the things on the street, the kind of bubbly hub of selling things. I like markets all over this city. I like the festivals, the different local festivals," she says.
The show features archival and contemporary photographs, documents, books, costumes, textiles and household objects. The museum hopes to break stereotypes by illuminating the cultural and commercial contributions Arab-Americans have made to New York City and the values and traditions that have connected them for generations. Ms. Benson says she wants people to come and learn and put misconceptions to rest.

In my opinion, New Balance was always one of those kicks that flew under the radar. Even though they are not as big a Nike or Adidas, there is something kind of mellow and laid back about these classic sneakers. Back in the day when I was in middle school, the suede along with the earth tone colors always reminded me of the more subdued months of autumn and winter; there was just something comforting about them. I can just imagine them being worn in cool weather with a pair of jeans. Well I guess it's the right time of season to rock the sophistication that is New Balance. Check out the classic styles and a couple of new styles below

A woman in Virginia has developed a bra in which women can conceal a knife or pepper spray for protection while exercising by themselves.
A man attacked Jennifer Cutrona last April while she ran on a trail near her home. She wore earbuds and did not hear the man approach her.
"If I were to be killed senselessly on a trail for somebody's thrill, how bad it would impact their world?!" she said.
She invented and patented the "Booby Trap Bra," specifically "designed for activity." A woman can easily hide a knife or pepper spray in it.
"It had to happen for me to move forward," she continued. "I was excited that I got away, but I know a lot of women aren't that lucky."

Trick or treat; darken up your cocktails this Halloween
Screams erupted from the mysterious building, standing alone in an abandoned town once so full of life. The town used to thrive, residents would greet each other with hearty smiles, young women would walk their dogs in the park before heading to the local college; but not anymore, not tonight.
It was a Friday night, October 31st 2014, and everything was going as you'd expect. Carved pumpkins spelled out death and despair on every doorstep, ghosts and vampires walked the streets with innocent children looking for their sugar rush – but then something happened, something terrible.
In the town lay a quaint little bar, a proper little saloon in the heart of the community, and this Halloween night there was quite a rush. A group of zombie nurses (hen party) that had come in from the three towns over were on the karaoke, a group of vampires were in the corner discussing the latest sports defeat, and Pikachu was perched at the bar ordering a pitcher of something crimson and suspicious.
The night was still young and the victims unaware; oh the horror that awaits them, the suffocating despair. The children went inside and closed their innocent eyes, so as not to witness the terror of the Devil in disguise.
The scream, it was piercing and the patrons bereft, as the bartender announced there were no cocktails left!
It's that time of year again, so break out your costumes, dig out the fake blood and pay attention. Halloween is a time for treats, whether it be sweets, or a few cheeky vodka based Halloween cocktails. There are so many to choose from there's not much danger of running out (providing you're fully stocked up on vodka) like the unfortunate fellow from our story.
We love vodka and we love Halloween, so we put the two together – here are our favourite vodka based Halloween cocktail recipes.
