- The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly country music radio program and concert broadcast live on WSM radio in Nashville, Tennessee, every Friday and Saturday night, as well as Tuesdays from March through December. It is the oldest continuous radio program in the United States, having been broadcast on WSM since 5 October 1925. The Opry has been located in the Grand Ole Opry House in eastern Nashville since 1974. From 1974 to 1997 the Opry House was part of a theme park called Opryland USA, which closed due to low attendance and was subsequently torn down and replaced with a mega-shopping mall called Opry Mills. Rumors that the Opry is haunted persist to this day as more than 35 people closely associated with the Opry have been met with untimely deaths. These country stars have been burned to death, beaten, robbed, and shot, have been victims of car and plane crashes and have perished from alcohol and drugs.eat nearby

Camperdown is an historically significant rural town in southwestern Victoria, Australia, 194 kilometres (121 mi) south west of the state capital, Melbourne. At the 2006 census, Camperdown had a population of 3,165. The Djargurd Wurrung people are the traditional aboriginal people of the Camperdown area, who had lived in the area for thousands of years as a semi-nomadic hunter gatherer society.
The first British settlers arrived in the area from Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) after 1835 to establish sheep runs. Although settlement was met with resistance by some of the local aborigines, the town's history also records remarkable instances of mutual assistance and friendship between native and settler peoples. Notable on this account is the family of David Fenton, the Scottish Presbyterian shepherd and drover who built the first house in Camperdown in 1853.

A federal court in Florida recently held that coverage for repairs for the purpose of achieving aesthetic uniformity is appropriate where repairs concern only an adjoining area for materials including wallpaper, baseboards, woodwork and carpeting. Great Am. Ins. Co. of New York v. Towers of Quayside No. 4 Condo. Ass'n, 2015 WL 6773870 (S.D. Fla. Nov. 5, 2015).
The insured submitted a claim for damage to its condominium building caused by a water leak from an air conditioning unit, which caused damage to drywall, carpeting, baseboards, insulation and wallpaper in the hallways of one wing of the building. The building maintained a uniform appearance by design with respect to the carpet, wallpaper and woodwork in the common area hallways, but the east hallway of the building was separated from the west hallway by a tiled elevator landing on each floor. The insured sought coverage to repair or replace the undamaged carpeting, wallpaper, baseboards and woodwork in the undamaged hallway in order to achieve aesthetic uniformity with the area that suffered water damage. The insurer denied coverage for the repair and replacement of components that were not physically damaged, and the insured sued for breach of contract. The insurer moved for summary judgment, requesting a declaration that the policy does not entitle the insured to coverage for replacement of undamaged building components to assure aesthetic uniformity, relying on the policy's limitation of coverage to "direct physical loss" and explicit exclusion of coverage for consequential loss.
The district court granted the insurer's motion in part, finding that coverage for matching for the purpose of achieving aesthetic uniformity is appropriate where repairs concern any continuous run of an item or adjoining area for materials such as wallpaper, baseboards, woodwork and carpeting, but that payment of the cost of matching that is not otherwise required is not covered under the policy.

She's just 3-foot-6, but Las Vegas comedian Tanyalee Davis stands shoulder to shoulder with other comics who work in the trenches of comedy clubs.
Davis' career is on hold for a couple of months while she recovers from major spinal surgery. A degenerative disease forced surgeons to operate on 23 of her vertebrae in early June.
"I was diagnosed with the problem in 1995," says Davis, 37, who was at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital before she was sent home to complete her recovery.
Davis says her condition was causing her to lose feeling in her arms and legs.
"They were tingling all the time," she says.
After the surgery she says she noticed an immediate change. Leg spasms disappeared. The tingling was gone.
"The morning after surgery I felt like I had new feet," Davis says.
Her ordeal was taped for a British TV show — she has a large fan base in the United Kingdom, where she frequently performs.
After the show airs there, it may pop up on a network in the United States.
"Last year the producers shot a show about very tall people and it received such high ratings they decided to do a little people version," Davis says. "They followed me around, beginning in May — shot my performance in London, flew to California for my initial appointment with the doctors there, and then they filmed the surgery."
She says the show will air in Britain in September.
Davis and her husband, Marty Hiebert, have been at odds with insurers and some of her caregivers and medical professionals. "Some of the staff gets pretty blase," she says.
But the problems have abated and Davis is looking forward to getting her act together.
"I'm scheduled to perform at the L.A. Comedy Club Labor Day weekend," she says. "That's my goal. I'm a mind-over-matter person.
"I'm a very independent person, but right now people are wiping my (bottom) for me. This is not my cup of tea."
Mosaic breaks out
Mosaic, a six-man a cappella group that performs with George Wallace at the Flamingo, will make its Las Vegas solo debut Sunday and Monday at Harrah's to benefit the Public Education Foundation of the Clark County School District.
"Las Vegas has been really great to us and has allowed us to achieve great success doing what we love, so we're anxious to give back to this great city," says Mosaic founder Josh Huslig. "With all the proceeds of this event going directly back into the schools, it's an honor to be part of such a worthwhile program."
The show will include renditions of Sly and the Family Stone's "Thank You," Zapp & Roger's "More Bounce" and TV tunes. As a special presentation, high school dancers will perform alongside professional Las Vegas dancers from the Stratosphere's "Bite" and the Rio's "Show in the Sky."
The Public Education Foundation was established in 1991 with the goal of improving local public schools.
Details: 1:30 p.m. Sunday, 7:30 p.m. Monday; Harrah's; $45; 369-5111
Bands help out one of their own
BestofBands.com, the Internet site devoted to artists and their music, and Cheyenne Saloon will host a benefit show to help out bass player Mike Watkins.
Watkins, a member of the band Nous, was diagnosed in 2006 with myxopapillary ependymoma — a condition that causes the spine to produce cancer cells that grow into tumors. He has undergone numerous radiation treatments and is no longer able to work.
Five bands — Anew Betrayal, Parannoyd, the Underground Rebels, Theory of Flight and Zeusphobia — will perform. All the bands, with the exception of Anew Betrayal, played alongside Nous during the Live Indie Rock Wars in April.
Details: Mike Watkins Benefit; 8 p.m. July 16; Cheyenne Saloon, 3103 N. Rancho Drive; $7, must be 21 or older; 645-4139

How to Build Finger Muscles
There are a slew of reasons to incorporate finger exercises in your daily workout routine. Sports such as rock climbing and rowing require athletes to maintain a strong grip. Strong finger muscles also can help for people with arthritis or other debilitating conditions that affect their hands. People who have had hand surgery or finger-joint replacement also need to incorporate exercises into their rehabilitation routines, according to doctors at the Mayo Clinic. Typists and guitar players benefit from strong fingers, too.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Squeeze a tennis ball to build finger muscles. You also can use any number of stress balls on the market, as long as they are large enough to put significant pressure on your fingers when you squeeze. Wrap your fingers around the ball, and squeeze as hard as you can for 5 seconds. Release and repeat for 10 repetitions.
Step 2
Do push-ups on the tips of your fingers instead of with your entire hands. Whether you do a full-body push-up on the tips of your toes or a modified push-up while kneeling, use only your fingertips to support your weight as you lower your body. Push your body so your arms are fully extended and you feel the pressure on your fingers.
Step 3
Use the finger muscles to do repetitions of finger curls when you have nerve damage or need stronger hands, according to doctors at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Extend your arms straight in front of you, with your palms facing up. Curl your fingers and wrists upward toward your body, release your fingers, and press your hands down toward the ground. With your fingers still extended, bend your elbows up. Release and repeat the process for 10 reps.
Step 4
Splay your fingers as you place your hand face-down on a table. Raise the index finger only, and hold for 5 seconds. Release it, then move through each of the other fingers in similar fashion. Raise each finger and the thumb 10 times each. Do 10 repetitions often throughout the day if you are rehabilitating from a hand procedure or injury.

Growing up, the only thing I remember being told was to be a kind person. Socially, religiously, typically. Be kind.
I can say I tried my least. Childhood does come with a great joy of no responsibilities and that's what I suppose saved me from not doing what I was supposed to. But fast forward to all these years, this is still the only thing on my mind; be kind.
It's probably a very small thing. To be kind to others and, to some extent, to yourself.
What is kindness specifically? It's patting a little child when they do something good, it's watering a plant placed remotely from a water source, it's anything and everything if you know how exactly to proceed it.
Religiously, when Ramadan arrives, kindness seems to be everywhere. It's a holy month of Muslim calendar when muslims fast each day for a month long. Out of all the blessings this month brings, kindness is the list topper. I've seen people who hated each other come forward to forgive and forget. I've seen women donating their priceless dresses and possessions to those in need. I've seen kindness in the most unlikely places in Ramadan.
Do you know what's the best part about kindness? It's free.
Ramadan and kindness go along well. I am lucky to be a part of a campaign that combines them both and gives back to society and people in need. It's #TweetAMeal from @TelenorPakistan
The concept of this campaign #TweetAMeal stands on engaging the online community with Tweet A Meal to bring about good from instinctive behaviors of our digital savvy community. The instinctive behavior of sharing pictures of their meals. The fact that whenever we head out to eat and take photos of our food and share them, so why not share them for a good cause.
Everytime you tweet a photo of your meal with this hashtag #TweetAMeal, Telenor PK will donate a meal to those who need it.
I have been documenting my sehris, iftaris, and other meals. It's time we all do it together. Let's be a part of this campaign that's only bringing free kindness in our world.
Have you tweeted a meal yet?

One day after the former Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer agreed to pay $2 billion for the Los Angeles Clippers, the N.B.A. on Friday said that it would not vote to take away the team from Donald Sterling, the owner of the team, who received a lifetime ban for making racist comments.
The transaction still must be approved by the N.B.A.'s Board of Governors. But because of the pending sale of the team to Ballmer from Sterling and his estranged wife, Rochelle, the league said in a statement that it "will withdraw its pending charge to terminate the Sterlings' ownership of the team."
As a result, the league canceled a Tuesday meeting of the board, which was supposed to vote on taking the Clippers away from Sterling. Sterling's lifetime ban — which prevents him from owning a team, being involved in management or even attending games — will not be lifted, and his $2.5 million fine has not been rescinded.
The agreement amounted to a victory for the league. Not only did a wealthy buyer step forward to pay a record price for the team, but the league's owners will also not have to vote on whether to take away a team from a fellow owner, a move that could have set an uncomfortable precedent.
The N.B.A. also won blanket immunity from any lawsuits related to the case because Rochelle Sterling agreed not to sue the league and to indemnify it against other suits, including any brought by her husband. On Friday, Donald Sterling sued the league for $1 billion, saying it had violated antitrust laws and his constitutional rights. If he wins his case — which legal experts said is unlikely — his wife will have to reimburse the league for any damages.
"The N.B.A. doesn't want to have to pay literally a dollar out of their pockets for a lawsuit," said Mark Conrad, the director of the sports business program at Fordham University. "Now Mrs. Sterling will be motivated to end this saga and get her husband to drop the suit."
Donald Sterling, of course, may continue to press his case in court even if it ends up hurting his wife. The lawsuit identifies two plaintiffs, Donald Sterling and the Sterling family trust, which means he is essentially disputing his wife's claim that she is the sole trustee and therefore authorized to sell the team.
That could complicate the sale of the team, which will most likely be approved quickly. The league and its owners are already familiar with Ballmer's finances because he tried to buy the Sacramento Kings last year, and the N.B.A. is eager to put the weeks of controversy behind it.
"Mr. Sterling's lawsuit is predictable, but entirely baseless," Rick Buchanan, the league's general counsel, said in a statement. "Among other infirmities, there was no 'forced sale' of his team by the N.B.A. — which means his antitrust and conversion claims are completely invalid. Since it was his wife, Shelly Sterling, and not the N.B.A. that has entered into an agreement to sell the Clippers, Mr. Sterling is complaining about a set of facts that doesn't even exist."

Explore the most popular nature trips trails near Ozark with hand-curated trail maps and driving directions as well as detailed reviews and photos from hikers, campers and nature lovers like you.
Classic Arkansas Ozarks trail. Went up the east and down the west on a moderately cold (45F) wet October morning. 7.4 mi, 1,390 ft in 2:50. East side is more interesting with a couple of small waterfalls. West side is dryer with more scenic views. Saw 3 white tailed deer. No humans. The west is also easier. I was able to run most of it. About half way the loop connects to the Ozark Highlands Trail right at the Spy Rock Trial. On the Spy Rock long pants recommended. There are a couple of fire rings at Spy Rock, which would be a great place for hammock camping.
FYI. Make sure you bring 3 dollars to pay to hike this trail. The park attendant says it's a 60 dollar fine if you don't pay. As far as the trail is concerned. It wasn't worth the 3 dollars or the drive to it. I did not like this trail at all. It was confusing because it's actually Trail was not labeled. It is actually part of the west aide of the shores loop trail. The trail is VERY rocky. It was not cleared out well at all and parts were extremely narrow. We finally turned around and came back out because it didn't feel safe. I have hiked hundreds of miles of trails this year and have loved it but this one is by far the worst experience. I do not plan to be back.
This is one of my favorite conditioning hikes to do in the early Fall. I completed it for the 5th time this past weekend. I hike the West side loop and come down the East side. I usually hike past the East side spur trail down the OHT a little further and camp next to Salt Fork Creek making this a wonderful overnighter. The first day you will hike along White Rock Creek which has a beautiful water fall and the 2nd day you will be hiking along Salt Fork Creek although you won't see it much. Be prepared for a lot of ascending on the first day. It's a real good workout! Thanks to the OHTA, too, this past weekend. They had done lots of underbrush weed-whacking so the trail was clear.
Did this hike in early September. Started around 15:30, hiked in clockwise 3 miles before setting up camp. Most of the water is on this side of the trail, plan accordingly--top off before you begin the ascent. We set out at 7:00 the following morning and made it to the top at 9:00. There is a rim trail at the top that is not included in the 12.7 total, we spend about 90 minutes at the top. If you bring cash there is a general store. The hike down is fairly uneventful, just be mindful of where the OHT branches off--follow the blue blazes. For us most of the water was dried up on this side. Finished up at 14:00. If you have done your math correctly you can see that this hike can very well be done in one day; just start in the morning. The entire hike is very scenic and the view from the top of White Rock mountain is one of the best there is in the Ozarks. I definitely recommend. On a side note, there were a ridiculous amount of stick bugs and horse flies on this hike. Also, things we're INCREDIBLY overgrown this time of year--lots of bushwhacking.
Awkward beginning of the trail, very overgrown and not well marked. I recommend starting at the turnoff for the campsite and not where google maps takes you. A wonderful view at the top, definitely a good one! Took about 4 hours round trip.
Good views at the waterfall and summit, and plenty of good campsites along the way. Trail is quite overgrown in places, and water crossings on the West loop are often marked poorly or not at all
This starts in pretty dense vegetation that rubs on your legs. Wear pants. Lots of ticks and chiggers too, so bring bug spray. Otherwise a good trail.
Beautiful views at Spy Rock and a fairly easy trail. Unfortunately all the waterfalls and creeks were completely dry, it being August, so we didn't get to enjoy the beauty of the trail to its fullest. We will have to try this one again when it's less dry.
The view is nice, but getting there is something else. The gravel road up to the trail is in poor condition. There were some rocky trenches in the road making it inaccessible to some vehicles. There is currently no parking area. There are a couple giant piles of gravel on each side of the road, one before and one after the trail. The trailhead is not distinguishable by vehicle. Just park near the trailhead (GPS) and locate on foot. Most of the path is also becoming overgrown with poison ivy, which may be a problem for some. I think taking the rest of the trail up there would have been better. I prefer hiking up difficult and rocky inclines over driving up them.
Spent the weekend here at the beginning of June. The trail is clearly marked, but very overgrown and sometimes hard to see past the overgrowth. There's a beautiful campsite near a creek and one right past a dirt road. Plenty of camping spots near the waterfalls. It was strenuous. The climbs can be rough. A lot of loose rocks and larger rocks and roots. Wear very comfortable shoes that are water resistant. You have to cross some creeks.
Awkward trailhead, had to park near the street. Walked further than spy rock and set up near a waterfall for the night. Wonderful night! Overall great trip and spy rock has great views. Not a strenuous backpacking trip.
Unusual place for a trail head — behind a couple of camping sites at Redding. But a perfect hike for me. A good uphill to a great midpoint – Spy Rock. Then a good descent back to Redding campground. Btw, did I mention that Redding is on the Mulberry River? A dip in the river is a perfect way to top off a great hike. Note: the a- and descent each have spots of (what I consider) narrow trail, especially given one side of the trail is pretty much straight down. Those spots are definitely doable, but I felt a heightened sense of caution traversing those stretches.
A good challenge and a nice payoff at the summit.
Great trail to hike with family. It has a wonderful view and a few water- falls. There were tons of poison-Ivey. Please be aware of this.
An amazing trail. We traveled up the west side part of the loop. It took us about 2 hours to reach the top. The view is worth the climb. Heads up that while it looks overgrown, the actual summit itself is pretty clean and a great spot to camp. Also watch out for the ticks. There's plenty of them to go around. :)
We took the trail from the Redding Campground, where it is well marked. This is a beautiful hike, but there are no markings when you hit the East/West division about how many kilometers the hike is. There was no information at the campground about the trail, so we figured it was a 2-3 mile trail, easy for a quick afternoon hike. However we soon realized that the "loop" was farther up the mountain than we thought, and we had to turn around after 2 hours and head back down because of the bad weather coming in. Please have someone mark the trailhead with a distance for the loop!
Great trail for a day hike or overnight backpacking. This was our first backpacking trip and we had a blast. Great place to hammock camp right on the rock overlook. Trail is well marked and maintained. Both of us are beginners but are in good physical condition; it took us about 2.5 hours to reach the rock and about 1.5 hours to hike back down.
TRAIL IS NOT WELL MARKED. THE COMMENT THAT SAYS IT IS, IS VERY MISLEADING. Look for a SMALL, THIN BROWN SIGN, stuck into ground. IT IS EXTREMELY EASY TO MISS. Parking is not marked and is practically non-existent. There are like 3 individual spaces that you would believe are supposed to be used for parking. Basically, there's a dirt road you take to cut through the loop trail to a very short hike, to an incredibly scenic spot called Spy Rock. Fantastic view. Worth the drive. Only had around 40 minutes of time on the rock, because we spent 20 minutes searching for the trail. TRAIL IS EXACTLY WHERE GPS SAYS IT IS. JUST LOOK FOR BROWN SIGN. Since it takes only around 10 minutes to hike to the rock, it's perfect if you only have like an hour or so to actually be hiking and being outdoors in nature (not including travel time), but want to go somewhere very remote with a comparably better view than Yellow Rock. There is almost no difference in elevation. This is an insanely easy hike. Not good for children as the bluff is rather small. Could not tell if they were Eagles, Hawks, or Falcons but there was a couple large birds flying around in the horizon and it was gorgeous. Could be an excellent spot for birding if you get lucky like we did. I wish I had more time just to watch the birds majestically fly around the top of the vast landscape.
Was not paying close attention to the length of this trail when we hiked it. Was very long... but there are several waterfalls along the way. It really is worth the distance. I had a puppy and 2 7 year old kiddos who enjoyed it!
I'd rate this trail as moderate. The trail is narrow but slopes gradually and has only a few rugged areas. The trail is well-marked and -maintained. There are more sources of water on the east loop than the west, but I suspect that those will disappear during the dry season. There is no water source at the summit campsite, but the view is great. We arrived just in time to see the sun set.
One more thing. The trailhead is no longer at Redding campground. It is located on a small dirt road just east of the campground off the main highway. The new parking lot is located directly on the east loop. The spur leading to Redding campground still exists though. Make sure you don't accidently take it and end up in someone's campsite like we did.
Every time I hike a little part of the OHT, I think "what a lovely stretch of trail." This portion is no exception. The views as you head up the mountain just get more spectacular. On the Spring day when I visited, the wildflowers and butterflies were going like gangbusters. The old chimney and well at the homesite are neat, and worth the very short detour to check them out.
You do go UP, though fairly gradually. And then it's all downhill to get back to the trailhead!
Don't let the short length of this trail fool you - it's a doozy! I wouldn't recommend it to hiking newbies or anyone not in pretty good shape, as it's not a maintained trail and it is VERY steep in parts. For the intrepid/experienced, this is a fun trail that offers a bit of a challenge, and two lovely waterfalls. I have been on this trail after very heavy rains and was able to visit only one waterfall due to creek levels - use your head and be safe!
A historic structure known as the Rock House is nearby on the OHT, and is worth visiting as long as you're here - cross the road to the Ozark Highlands Trail and take a left when you come to the fork.
Information about the Rock House from a descendant of its original inhabitants can be found here: https://ozarkmountainhiker.com/2018/03/31/rock-house-history/
Great little hike. Definitely not a hard trail. I would say moderate at best.
easy to follow, well kept and all around great trail!
M F. on Redding/Spy Rock Loop Trail
This is a fun hike, is mostly covered, and has a breathtaking overlook at the end! We went up on the west side trail and down on the east, though you could easily choose the opposite. There are camp sites along the east side. The east side also has bluff overlooks and waterfalls, but it is more rocky. If you're starting on the west side, make sure to not turn prematurely when you're getting close to the top - pass the road closed sign on the trail as the trail shoot off for spy rock is clearly marked with brown/yellow wooden signs. There's great hammocking and two camp sites at top of spy rock! Might have to pay $3 for parking so bring cash.
This isn't a well maintained trail. In fact, most of the way down to the creek is via dirt road. A foot path does split from the road about mid way down (blue tape) but I didn't want to bushwhack. The inconvenience of getting there and having to work a bit at finding your way, however, is rewarded with scenic beauty. If you like a sense of solitude, minus a few beer cans strewn about, this adventure is for you. If you want an organized outing that is a bit more manicured and easy-to-follow, visit another trail. Truthfully, there are segments on the OHT and OT that are just as captivating without the hassle.
Great trail with great views it was marked somewhat well but definitely do the west loop and come down the east side. It's a nice loop but make sure you start early we started at 9 and got back at 5:15 and wish I would have had a little more time.
Absolutely LOVE this trail! I've taken my kids many times for a quick day hike. Such a beautiful trail and the lookout is so amazing! My go-to place when needing some mountain therapy!!
Quiet, secluded, and beautiful. Very well marked and maintained in the Winter. Don't miss the detour to the view at Spy Rock, one of the prettiest around. If you're going to park near the trailhead be sure to bring $3 and a pen to fill out your day use tag and envelope.
Great hike! I did the trail counter-clockwise from Shores Lake Campground and did the White Rock Rim Loop halfway through. I read someone's review earlier who said to do the loop clockwise, but I thought it might be better to do the steep part going uphill instead of down...less risk of injury if really steep boulders. However, after hiking it and seeing that the east approach to the mountain is not actually a "climb" and just a steep hike, I think clockwise is the way to go. It was nice to see the waterfalls on the west side of the loop on the way back, though...a reward for all the work put in going uphill. The whole creek is beautiful - I've never seen water that bluish color before!
Trail is well-marked, except that the overlapping part with the Ozark Highlands Trail does not have blue blazes. I got a bit nervous that I had missed the turnoff in the northwest part of the loop, but then I got to the intersection and it was very clearly marked with signs.
There's not much going on in the east side of the loop, but I really enjoyed the hike overall!

"You never think it's going to be your home, where you grew up." So said Jon Stewart, native New Jerseyan, explaining that he'd often participated in telethons to help aid victims in faraway places. This was different, it was obvious. The effects of the storm were in every line on his face.
That look was everywhere during the hourlong NBC telethon to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the Northeast on Monday: a hardened look, a statement of purpose.

It was in Sting's acoustic version of "Message in a Bottle," which used the theme of being lost at sea to send a different kind of SOS. Holding his acoustic guitar neck high, he plucked out complicated runs. Aerosmith sang "Dream On" exactly how you'd expect them to.
And then Mary J. Blige stepped onstage to offer "Living Proof," her inspirational ode to resilience. "Stay strong, hold on / Because you made it through / You're living proof." She used the song, originally recorded for the movie "The Help," in service of powerful message. Blige didn't grandstand, didn't over-express herself; rather, she underlined every phrase with hope.
It was a grand moment. Blige was a late -- and wonderful -- addition, one that brought at least a little bit of variety into what was very nearly a "semi-retired men of rock" lineup.

Jackson Bills, Including Nation's Strongest Equal Pay Legislation, to Become Law on January 1
SACRAMENTO – Among the numerous bills authored by Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) this year, the following will take effect on January 1:
Senate Bill 358, the California Fair Pay Act: The strongest equal pay law in the country, Jackson's SB 358 will give women important new tools to challenge wage discrimination at work. It will ensure that women are paid equally for work that is substantially similar to the work of their male colleagues, and do not face retaliation if they discuss or ask how much their male colleagues are paid. To enforce her rights under SB 358, an employee will be able to file a complaint with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or file a civil complaint directly in Superior Court.
"2016 is a year I hope we all remember as a year California made significant progress toward closing the wage gap women face at work, " said Jackson, who is chair of the California Legislative Women's Caucus. "It's time for women's paychecks to finally reflect their true value and hard work. Fair pay is not just the right thing for women, it's the right thing for their families, for California, for our businesses, and for our economy."
Legislation authored in response to this year's Refugio Oil Spill:
Senate Bill 295, Annual Pipeline Inspections: One of Jackson's two bills authored in response to the oil spill in Santa Barbara County this year, Senate Bill 295 will require annual oil pipeline inspections by the State Fire Marshal. Previously, pipeline inspections had been done every two or more years. On January 1, the State Fire Marshal will begin working on regulations surrounding these annual inspections. The inspections themselves will begin by January 1, 2017.
Senate Bill 414, the Rapid Oil Response Act. Also authored in response to the Refugio Oil Spill, this bill seeks to make oil spill response faster and more effective. It: 1) Directs the Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) to report to the Legislature on how to best utilize commercial fishing vessels and crews in response to an oil spill 2) Requires OSPR to notify the Legislature within three days if dispersants are used in response to an oil spill. It also requires a follow-up study on negative impacts that the use of dispersants have had, and 3) Requires OSPR to study the best achievable technology for oil spill clean-up and use that technology to respond to spills.
Other legislation:
Senate Bill 186, Community Colleges and Off-Campus Sexual Assault: Continuing Jackson's long-standing work to address student sexual assault, Senate Bill 186 will allow community college districts to extend their jurisdictions beyond their campus borders and use their existing disciplinary process to discipline, expel or suspend students for off-campus sexual assault and sexual exploitation. UC and CSU campuses already have such extended jurisdictions in place. But until now, community colleges have had little recourse when inappropriate student behavior occurs outside campus boundaries.
Senate Bill 221, the California Wounded Warriors Transitional Leave Act: Continuing her work to support veterans, this Jackson bill will give new state employees who are disabled veterans up to 96 hours of sick leave during their first year in the state workforce to attend medical and VA appointments during work hours without having to take unpaid leave. The bill would apply to state employees hired on or after January 1, 2016 and who are 30 percent or more disabled as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Senate Bill 342, Earn and Learn: This bill addresses the need for a highly-skilled workforce and effective job training for those with barriers to employment. It aligns California's workforce investment goals with those of the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, the nation's employment, training, adult education, and vocational rehabilitation programs reauthorized by Congress in 2014. It strengthens these programs by expanding education and training options and helping those who are disadvantaged and unemployed "earn while they learn."
Senate Bill 387, State Bar Dues: This bill reauthorizes the State Bar of California to collect active membership dues for 2016, while also putting important reforms in place in response to a recent audit of the organization. These include requiring the State Bar to generally comply with the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act as well as the California Public Records Act, mandating a fiscal audit of the Bar and clarifying the types of cases the Bar has to include in its discipline report, among other reforms.
Senate Bill 579, Helping Workers with Childcare Needs: This bill expands California's Family School Partnership Act to allow parents to take job-protected time off to respond to child care or school emergencies or to take time off from work to find and enroll children in child care or school. Currently, the Act provides up to 40 hours of job-protected, unpaid time off per year to eligible parents to participate in activities at his or her child's school or licensed day care facility, such as parent-teacher conferences or graduations.
Senate Bill 695, Consent Education for High School Students: Jointly authored with Senate Leader Kevin de León, this bill aims to prevent sexual assault by requiring public high school health classes to provide students instruction on affirmative consent, sexual harassment, assault, violence, and the importance of developing positive and healthy relationships.
Jackson represents the 19th Senate District, which includes all of Santa Barbara County and western Ventura County.

How To Make Money Selling E-books In Nigeria
Write once sell many times
One of the great things about selling eBooks is that you only need to write it once and yet are able to sell it many times – eBooks are an unlimited amount of inventory.
An eBook is simply an electronic book or a book in computer form as a file that is readable and can be printed. It is a book but the only difference between it and a real physical book is that it is not in a physical form. It's intangible.
You can make money by creating and selling eBooks in Nigeria if you know how to do it. You only need to know what to write about, write about it and then market your eBook to the Nigerians in cyberspace.
Where can one sell eBooks?
There are many opportunities for Nigerians to sell their books on the internet and I would just list some of them
– Amazon KDP:
– Own website
– Other third party site
The first method is popular but is not available to Nigeria buyers yet so if you decide selling your eBooks through Amazon's kdp programme, then you should target buyers in countries other than Nigeria and that means your eBook should be about something people in places like the USA, UK or Australia would want to read about. Amazon allows you to create and upload your book and then set your own price or royalty. Amazon would only collect a commission on sales and you don't have to make any payment upfront. There are a growing number of writers who make thousands f dollars writing for Kindle and so don't be left out.
You can also sell eBooks on your own website and target the world including Nigeria. You only need to be able to create your eBook and convert it to PDF using any useful software like Google Docs or Acrobat professional. Once created, you'd upload it to your site and sell online using any secure payment processor. In Nigeria, direct bank payments are a popular option for info-marketers.
The third option has to do with selling your eBooks through a third party and there are many of them. The problem with this option is that most of them prefer you make an advance payment for hosting or retailing your eBook. I wouldn't stick with the third option as I'd rather go with the first two.
How do you create an eBook?
To create an eBook, here is what you do
– Write your book with a text editing software e.g. Ms Word
– Convert it to PDF if required
– Create a back cover
– Decide on your price
– Upload and publish
How much should I sell an eBook?
It depends on You!!!!!

The John Lackey Signing Was One of the Offseason's Best Moves
Because of Dexter Fowler, Yovani Gallardo, Austin Jackson and a few others, the 2015-2016 offseason isn't quite over. Still, with a few small exceptions, the majority of free agency has been completed, and teams have begun finalizing their payrolls and locking in their rosters. There are still moves to be made – impactful moves, even – this late in to February, but for the most part, this offseason is coming to a close.
And it was a crazy one.
We knew that it was going to be an exciting offseason, thanks to the enormous free agent class, but there were still many surprises. Arguably, two of three biggest free agent signings this winter (Jason Heyward to the Cubs and Zack Greinke to the Diamondbacks) were completely unpredicted at the beginning of the offseason. Some free agents (Denard Span, Alex Gordon, Yoenis Cespedes) received far less than anticipated, while others (Justin Upton, Chris Davis, Ian Kennedy, Zack Greinke) received far more.
And none of this is to mention the trades that went down.
You'll be happy to find that the Cubs made the list, although, you might be surprised how (well, I guess not really, because of the title, but you get it) ….
Yes, according to David Schoenfield, the Cubs' signing of John Lackey to a two-year, $32 million dollar deal was the third best offseason move in MLB. Schoenfield realizes Lackey wasn't the big splash Cubs fans were expecting (like David Price, or Greinke), but applauds the extremely low cost in comparison. If Lackey comes within a half a run of his 2015 2.77 ERA, Schoenfield contends, the Cubs will be happy.
Which, yeah.
John Lackey wasn't the sexiest move, we can all agree on that, but it really might have been one of the quietly smartest moves of the offseason. For just $32 million, the Cubs filled out their rotation, especially over the fifth spot last season, at an fantastically low price. The flexibility this provided might not be completely calculable, but I assure you it's hugely important. (Quite possibly, the low cost improvement in the rotation, might have been the reason the Cubs were able to go after guys like Ben Zobrist and Jason Heyward, all in the same offseason).
And, assuming for a minute that the Cubs essentially had to improve in the rotation, Lackey was – by a long shot – the most cost-effective way to do so. His total free agent dollars, even at 37, are looking like a bargain compared to the current cost of pitching in free agency. Throw in the fact that he was projected and rumored to be offered much more elsewhere – and it's easy to see why this move made the list.
As far as the Cubs go, would you consider Lackey their best deal of the offseason? It's hard to say.
You might be inclined to lean towards Heyward, but there is certainly a great deal of money committed to him, and he might leave after just three years. Zobrist's deal was under market, as well, but he is on the older side and looking for a defensive bounce back in 2016. Trevor Cahill's deal was low cost, but comes with a lot less upside. And lastly, Adam Warren strikes me as a potentially fantastic deal, but we might not know that for at least a year or two when he begins starting with greater frequency (and assuming Starlin Castro doesn't re-explode).
So, then, Lackey's low-cost deal – which may have paved a way for the bigger deals to get done – could very well prove to be the most important one the Cubs made for 2016. Completely unexpected offseason? Yes. Completely welcomed, in retrospect? Hell yes.

Couples Test Natural Performance Enhancers & Libido Boosters
Can natural performance enhancers improve intimacy in the bedroom? We had three couples test variations of herbal viagra and female libido boosters and report back.
The secrets out: love ain't easy and relationships are hard. The bedroom isn't always as sexy as you want it to be. Or maybe intimacy doesn't happen enough. Or… we all get it.
If you're in a relationship, you know that sometimes (most of the time, really) intimacy doesn't look like it does in the movies.
Maybe your drives don't sync up. Or she might want a guy in a gorilla costume while you desire naughty talk in French. Hopefully you and your other's quirks match up in that weird magical way (#relationshipgoals) BUT when they don't…maybe those shiny bright boxes you spied at the bodega call your name.
Well, these cute couples try those wacky looking herbal performance enhancing drugs out…basically so you don't have to.
SHARE this video if you know someone who's used it before!
Would you try a 'natural' libido booster?

Last night's Emmy awards marked yet another step in the evolution of video entertainment. NetFlix's re-tread of the British original, House of Cards won an award for best direction for a drama series. That marks the first time a straight-to-streaming production has won a major video award.
IMO it's inevitable that an increasing proportion of new video entertainment will be produced by streaming servides. NetFlix isn't alone. Hulu has produced a number of original series, Amazon isn't far behind, and Acorn is just now releasing newly-produced episodes of Foyle's War, with first showings concurrently on PBS and Acorn's own streaming service (to which I'm a subscriber).
Nowadays the action in video entertainment is really on cable with the broadcast networks producing increasingly dreary and tired shows. There are exceptions; ABC's Modern Family and CBS's The Good Wife come to mind. I would estimate that straight-to-streaming today is about where straight-to-cable was roughly a decade ago. It will mature fast.
How successful these straight-to-cable productions are can only be measured by whether they favor the fortunes of their parents. For NetFlix it's so far so good. House of Cards and Arrested Development have added some subscribers and they certainly boosted the stock price. We'll see.

I was just retained by a father and son who were assaulted by police officers assigned to the 60th precinct on September 3, 2010. This incident occurred in the back of a building located on West 27th street in Brooklyn. This incident began when the police officers arrested the son without a warrant and without probable cause that he committed a crime. After his arrest and while he was in handcuffs, the police officers began to beat him according to witness statements. Witnesses to this event contacted the parents who rushed to the scene. Once there, the parents of this young man witnessed the police beating their son as he was lying on the ground with his hands behind his back in handcuffs. The father then approached the cops to ask why this was happening and was repeatedly punched in the face by the police officers who then place him in handcuffs as well. The mother, who works for law enforcement, then approached the police officer and asked, "why are you doing this?" She was then told to shut the fuck up or be arrested. Both father and son were charged with nonsense crimes and taken to the 60th precinct where they were further abused and assaulted. The charges were later dropped or dismissed and both are receiving treatment for injuries they sustained as a result of this incident. What does an incident like this say about the current culture of the NYPD?

Israeli harassment of the planned departure from Tripoli of Yasser Arafat and his armed supporters has the potential to raise anew a disturbing question about the new US-Israeli agreement - to what extent does it benefit the United States?
Events are not yet at that point. The US has asked Israel not to interfere with the evacuation. It has generally been thought that Israel would not continue its shelling incidents once the pullout actually began. But the shellings have been frequent enough that Mr. Arafat has already requested a delay in the major portion of the evacuation, which began over the weekend with withdrawal of his wounded supporters. Should the Israeli shelling or mining substantially affect the pullout, the agreement between the two nations would be put under renewed scrutiny in the US.
Israel's concern is understandable. It does not want the PLO and Arafat to be treated in withdrawal as heroes. It wants to prevent their regrouping for future terrorist acts. The PLO's brutal record of terrorism against Israelis over the years has been well documented.
But the US has two fundamental reasons for seeking the exit of the Arafat forces, some 4,000-strong. It wants an end to the bloodshed in the area, which includes innocent Lebanese civilians caught in the fratricidal PLO fighting. And withdrawal of the Arafat loyalists is within the framework of the Reagan administration's effort to get all foreign forces out of Lebanon. Washington wants the evacuation to go forward without delay.
In any case, in the long run there is another issue that might also spotlight the US-Israeli relationship, and how much Washington is willing to invest to gain Israeli cooperation. That is the apparent Reagan administration decision, reported around Washington, to change the nature of US military aid to all recipients so that it is made up entirely of grants that need not be repaid. Formerly some military assistance was provided through loans.
The change would benefit all US recipients; a major argument in support of it is that the aid is generally given to nations that cannot afford to repay it. Achieving such a change was one aim of the visit to Washington in late November by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.
If these reports are correct, Congress would have to approve the change; it would be expected to do so. What now remains to be seen is the size of the economic assistance package that the administration will recommend in its new budget, to be released in late January or early February. If the combined military and economic package exceeds last year's total, Washington analysts say , the question might be raised again as to what benefits the US did obtain from the agreement with Israel.

Moving on…and out (Farewell post)
Posted by wewantwalker on January 3, 2008
WeWantWalker.com was started for two reasons
1) First and foremost, we believe that DeWayne Walker is going to be an unbelievably successful head coach at the Division-I level.
2) A few websites out there attacked not only his proven ability as a football coach, but attacked him PERSONALLY without ANY merit whatsoever. The things they were saying were not only completely untrue, but they were embarrassing to read as a bruin fan. I still can't believe that there are bruins writing this.
I had been sitting here watching this kind of thing happen for way too long. Websites like BN and DD would say something completely baseless and…
No one was there to respond.
Now there are plenty of boards with plenty of smart, logical, and decent bruin fans (Bruinzone, BRO, Bruinville, and BruinGold come to mind). Yet the voices of reason on those boards weren't part of a larger community, a larger unified voice.
And thats how WeWantWalker started. My first post wasn't about DeWayne Walker, it was a promise to not shut out opinions that I disagreed with. Wow, what a novel concept, eh?
And my second post? It was an edit of the first post…where I made it very clear that anyone who made personal attacks on this website without merit would not be welcome. Wow, you're thinking, where do I get these ideas???
Great men deserve great respect. When you hear what other coaches (including Coach Neu), recruits, and reporters say about him, you get an image of Coach Walker as a tireless worker, a smart and polite man, and someone who values integrity like we all should at UCLA.
The reason people have called Walker a "shameless backstabber" and a "hack" among many other names is obvious: they know they have no facts to work with and that they need to resort to personal attacks. Deep down inside, I KNOW they respect DeWayne Walker. If they don't, they need one of these:
And those kind of people are an embarrassment to UCLA. And it is my job to keep them in check. I was laughed at by those sites when I first launched…I was called a "silly" site and the initial post describing my site was called "try not to laugh."
I've been around a week and a half and I'm getting more than half the traffic that BN gets. I don't think those guys are laughing anymore.
So last night when I got the news that Walker was going to be retained, I pumped my fist through the air and woke up my neighbor. I was especially ecstatic because UCLA kept DeWayne Walker even though he was being courted by MIAMI, LSU, AND, TEXAS. We just won a fight with Miami, LSU, and Texas? UCLA football? Things have changed pretty quickly huh?
And so I'll end this post saying that I have plenty of faith in Coach Neuheisel and that I look forward to the future.
As for my new website, it's going to be what you might expect out of me. We will allow different points of view, we're not going to allow personal attacks (unless they are REALLY funny), we're going to have humor, and we're going to be informative. We're going to be a watchdog.
Most importantly, We are going to take back the Bruin Blogosphere. One gutty little bruin at a time.
-BlackJack (proud founder of wewantwalker.com and guttylittlebruins.com)
P.S. I want to thank all you who have expressed admiration for the principles that drove this site. I have taken those comments to heart and at times when I thought this might have been a bit overwhelming, these very comments have kept me going. I hope to see you all on the new site.

Amen Blackjack! I always looked to this site for its positive attitude and professional and upstanding comments. If only DD and BN would realize that while they have their best interest at heart, their method of delivery could use some serious polishing. Too often the message they were trying to get across was delivered far too poorly. Congrats on a great website…I'lll be sure to stay tuned in to guttylittlebruins.com!
Thanks again and Go Bruins!!!

When you think of a fishing trip, you might imagine a father and son.
But for one little girl named Avery, a fishing trip meant spending some quality time with her dad — and getting an epic first catch on her bright pink Barbie pole.
In a hilarious and, frankly, somewhat shocking video, Avery is seen reeling in a fish that looks about half the size of her.
"Avery, this thing is twenty inches!" her dad says in shock. The girls laughter is just absolutely contagious. It wasn't easy, though. The catch took about 2 minutes of battling with the large bass.

From April 27th to May 17th, 2012, a selection of Performa's archival performance videos from the past four biennials will be on view to the public on Paddle8's recently launched Paddle8 TV. Viewers will be able to see performances by Liz Magic Laser (Performa 11), Laurie Simmons (Performa 05), Martha Colburn (Performa 09), and Kelly Nipper (Performa 07). All four Commissions have never before been seen online.
On April 27th, a special cut of Liz Magic Laser's Performa 11 Commission I Feel Your Pain will be on view. Presented in November 2011 during Performa 11, I Feel Your Pain was a new mixed-media performance that restaged America's recent political contests as a romantic drama. Presented in the SVA movie theater in Chelsea, the performance happened both among the audience and on the cinema's screen. The artist's Performa Commission remixed agitprop theater tactics, particularly the Russian Constructivist idea of a "living newspaper," to examine how emotion is used to establish authenticity on the political stage.
On May 2nd, Paddle8 TV will feature Act One of Laurie Simmons's first film, The Music of Regret, a poignant reflection on life's disappointments in the form of a 40-minute, three-part "musical." A Performa 05 Commission, Acts One and Three premiered at Salon 94, while Act Two was still in progress. In the film, inanimate objects from the artist's oeuvre– a camera, a gun, a pocket watch– are brought to life by Alvin Ailey dancers, and a group of suburban neighbors (played by hand puppets), and a real-life woman (played by actress Meryl Streep) sings love songs in concert with Simmons's custom-made ventriloquist dummies. Each vignette, filled with nostalgia for the conventions of family life in 1950s America, tears off a veneer of pleasantries to reveal inconsolable sadness caused by one misstep after another. Riddled with the artist's signature melancholy, The Music of Regret points to today's surfeit of commodities, which supplement an emptiness born of social and political carelessness.
On May 9th, Paddle8 TV will present Martha Colburn's short film Introspective Research into States of Mind, part of Futurist Life Redux from Performa 09. Inspired by the lost Futurist film Vita Futurista (Futurist Life, 1916), Futurist Life Redux featured contributions from 11 contemporary artists, who re-imagined the original film for the twenty-first century. Originally comprised of 11 independent segments conceived and written by different artists, Futurist Life aimed to directly take up several of the ideas proposed in "The Futurist Cinema" manifesto, which declared that film was "the expressive medium most adapted to the complex sensibility of a Futurist artist." For Futurist Life Redux, the artists were assigned the original film's 11 segments in a random drawing, given a brief synopsis of the original segment, and ultimately compiled into a single, all-new version of Futurist Life.
Paddle8 TV will present Kelly Nipper's Performa 07 Commission Floyd on the Floor on May 16th. Nipper's first live performance examined the movement of a hurricane in relation to technology and human emotion. Working with an enormous striped parachute, eight contemporary dancers laid down the hurricane's pattern in movements determined by a square dance announcer. Working with basic movement principles in a variety of mediums, Nipper is principally known for her work in photography, which explores time, space and shape in relation to the impending future of technology-based relationships. Floyd on the Floor premiered during Performa 07 at the legendary Judson Church.

Me not being a US resident cannot do it as the website sometimes cross verify via calling the reviewer. In short I want someone to verify as a reviewer on my behalf. Testing will be done with a single review and if things goes right it will be a long-term project with over 70 reviews per month and the best part is that it is not necessary that you will be called always. But as many reviews I right you will get the payment for it also no matter it was cross checked or not. Any one interested can quote his price as all he/she needs to do is just pick up a call and say that he/she wrote the review. Interested person can PM me with his offer and his contact detail.
