Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson split almost a year ago and the actress says if she doesn't reunite with the celebrity DJ she'll probably return to dating men.
"I never really thought about women before, it kind of just happened with Samantha. It surprised me. We're still in touch. We live in the same apartment building in LA and see each other often. She has always been one of my best friends," Lindsay told Britain's The Sun in the second part of an interview first, which began in the paper on Monday. "If I wasn't with Samantha, I would probably be with a boy next. She's the only woman I've been attracted to."
And the 23-year-old starlet said there still might be a way to patch up her relationship with Sam, 32.
"We love each other," Lindsay continued. "We might reconcile the relationship, maybe. I don't know."
Lindsay said that life in the spotlight took its toll on their relationship and she also claimed the Ronson family made it difficult.
"There have been a lot of ups and downs. Her family is very involved in her relationships and that was difficult," Lindsay continued. "I think Samantha was growing as a celebrity and a musician and I think that might have scared her family. But I've always been her biggest supporter and, yeah, I love her."
She also claimed Sam's friends were also problematic.
"All the fighting stuff was just because all her friends had got involved and made me an outcast, which wasn't fair to Samantha. I think it was a jealousy thing in terms of her becoming more famous than the rest of them," she told the paper. "She kind of does what she wants now. It's changed, so who's to say we won't be together again?"
Lindsay also slammed reports that their relationship was troubled.
"Mostly it was great. Everyone has ups and downs, it's normal. But in front of the public eye they're going to take the downs and make it seem like they're a million times worse. That comes with the territory," she continued. "It was a big deal for me because I've never had a relationship as public as that, especially being with a girl for the first time. That was really scary for me. But I didn't care because I love her."
As for the men in her life, Lindsay remained mum on the subject for the most part. She did, however reveal her fling with Colin Farrell was "a long time ago," and that her relationship with playboy Calum Best was "over really quickly and not worth talking about. Next!"

Laser sensor module enables full lane coverage
Measurement Devices Ltd
(MDL) will be unveiling a major new innovation at this year's Intertraffic. As the company points out, laser technology is now an essential addition to intelligent traffic management systems. Identifying vehicle width, speed, height and profile is vitally important information when monitoring and managing traffic flow; ensuring the safety of road users, requires correct identification of vehicles in relation to toll booth passes and alerts for height restricted areas.
In light of this, MDL has created a new laser module, the Static Scanning Module (SSM), created specially to enable full lane coverage without blind spots as well as classification of vehicle profiles. The company says the unique benefit of this new module is that it has no moving parts and therefore drastically reduces the potential for breakdown and the need for servicing, making it extremely reliable in an industry that requires dependability.

For a welcome change this fall, the villains of weren't the main focus of our reality TV attention. Instead, there's been a pleasantly surprising number of genuinely nice people on unscripted series that we've really adored - or at the very least that have kept us amused without resorting to scheming or screaming.
While we don't usually watch reality shows for sweet folks that we'd actually like to be friends with (or in some cases, adopt and give a loving home to -- we're looking at you, Shambo), these personalities recently wormed their way into our jaded little hearts:
10. Sarah (Real World/Road Rules Challenges)
We didn't watch the 480th season of The Real World set in Brooklyn, so Sarah was a pretty new face to us. But she won us over by admitting that the only reason she even did Real World was so that she could go on these challenges. That's the competitive spirit. She's strong, a little off-beat and manages to keep a smile on her face even when there are fistfights happening all around her. We look forward to seeing her again on The Duels 8-35.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
9. Shay (The Biggest Loser)
As the largest contestant ever on the show, Shay was prone to emotional breakdowns. A lot of them. But hey, she's had a rough life, so if she wants to cry while Jillian beats her to a pulp, we don't take issue. Shay was a sweet, caring woman who had a troubled past that included being raised by a drug-addicted mother and living on the streets. She was this show's version of Precious, but she stayed positive and she's gonna look hot when she's skinny.
8. Shambo (Survivor)
How can you not love Shambo? Or at least love laughing at and/or with Shambo? She's been living in her own little world, harming no one and barely realizing that she's playing a game. She easily shrugs off her failures, lamely attempts to scheme and just goes about accidentally freeing chickens and surviving against all odds. And she calls herself Shambo (on purpose!) and has a mullet (on purpose!!)
7. Ellenore (So You Think You Can Dance)
From the moment we saw her beaming smile in the audition round, she was one of our favorites. And she is able to completely transform her insanely bubbly personality into whatever style of dance they throw at her, even when she's totally out of her element and can't do the steps right. She's just a bundle of joy and a bright beacon of positivity in this so-far ordinary season.
6. Zev (The Amazing Race)
He was endearingly up front about the fact that he had Asperger's and that he was uncomfortable out of his element. And then he went and gave his jacket to a waterlogged stranger, took off his shoes to go though a puddle and happily befriended every cabbie in the world. He only competed in four legs of the race before the lost-passport incident and we would have liked to see him go much further.
5. Carol Hannah (Project Runway)
Well, it's hard not to look saintly next to a woman who earned the nickname Meana Irina. Althea sniped at people for stealing her designs, Irina complained about every person on the planet and Carol Hannah just designed her little fairy princess dresses and flitted around the workroom flirting with Logan and smiling at everyone. We're hard-pressed to remember her saying a negative thing about anyone, and if she did, it was probably well-deserved. And we adored her even more for her plucky, can-do spirit in the finale when she picked her ailing head up off the toilet and made it work.
4. Kelly Osbourne (Dancing With the Stars)
We watched her grow up on The Osbournes where she had her share of whiny teenage tendencies. But on Dancing With the Stars, she blossomed into a lovely young lady. Although she was far out of her comfort zone -- and dealing with a foot injury -- she put on a big smile, had fun with it and, most of all, laughed. It was an extra bonus to watch Ozzy and Sharon sit on the sidelines and beam proudly.
3. Kevin (Top Chef)
He cares about sustainability and the future, he likes to cook comfort food (and doesn't apologize for it in the face of undue snobbery, Michael) and he seems so laid-back in general. We want to give him a big old squeeze. He's taken every challenge as it's come and done so with kindness, instead of bickering or backstabbing. He may or may not win, but we sure would love to have him cook for us.
2. Abby (The Biggest Loser)
In the most heartbreaking story on network reality TV this season, Abby admitted that she gained weight after her husband and two children (one only a few weeks old) were killed in a car crash while she was at the doctor's. She'd given up on the world, but then somehow put on a brave face, did this show and became a proud role model. We wish the other contestants would have gone against her wishes and kept her around because there are few people more deserving of the final prize.
1. Laura (America's Next Top Model)
We'll admit it, we watch ANTM for the bitchiness and the catfights -- that's how we imagine all models behaving. But Laura and her Southern charm worked its magic on us. And the fact that this aspiring Victoria's Secret model proudly wore clothes that her grandma Wanda Sue made for her without any sense of shame or irony made her even more endearing. She was smiley and cute (until the end when she broke down into a disheveled mess after coming in second) and she made us laugh all season while overcoming dyslexia to boot.

Kagan's First Opinion; Scalia cites Foreign Law
Just a few quick thoughts before I get back to bar studies:
- Justice Kagan's first opinion is in the first case she heard on the Supreme Court. True to tradition, it's a dog of a case.
- Justice Scalia is the lone dissent, breaking from the tradition of unanimity for a new justice's first opinion. Last year, Justice Thomas concurred in part in Justice Sotomayor's first opinion. Does two years away from the tradition mean it's no longer a tradition?
- Kagan wasted no time getting into a footnote scuffle with Scalia over the textual relevance of consulting the IRS's "Collection Financial Standards":
- Kagan, fn7 – "Because the dissent appears to misunderstand our use of the Collection Financial Standards, and because it may be important for future cases to be clear on this point, we emphasize again that the statute does not "incorporat[e]" or otherwise "impor[t]" the IRS's guidance. Post, at 1, 4 (opinion of SCALIA, J.). The dissent questions what possible basis except incorporation could justify our consulting the IRS's view, post, at 4, n., but we think that basis obvious: The IRS creates the National and Local Standards referenced in the statute, revises them as it deems necessary, and uses them every day. The agency might,therefore, have something insightful and persuasive (albeit not controlling) to say about them.
- Scalia, fn* – "The Court protests that I misunderstand its use of the Collection Financial Standards. Its opinion does not, it says, find them to beincorporated by the Bankruptcy Code; they simply "reinforc[e] our conclusion that . . . a debtor seeking to claim this deduction must makesome loan or lease payments." Ante, at 10. True enough, the opinionsays that the Bankruptcy Code "does not incorporate the IRS's guidelines," but it immediately continues that "courts may consult this material in interpreting the National and Local Standards" so long as itis not "at odds with the statutory language." Ibid. In the presentcontext, the real-world difference between finding the guidelines incorporated and finding it appropriate to consult them escapes me, since I can imagine no basis for consulting them unless Congress meant them to be consulted, which would mean they are incorporated. And without incorporation, they are at odds with the statutory language, which otherwise contains no hint that eligibility for a Car Ownership deduction requires anything other than ownership of a car."
- Does citing midcentury UK law count as a dreaded citation to foreign law? Scalia: "The canon against superfluity is not a canon against verbosity.When a thought could have been expressed more concisely, one does not always have to cast about for someadditional meaning to the word or phrase that could havebeen dispensed with. This has always been understood. A House of Lords opinion holds, for example, that in the phrase " 'in addition to and not in derogation of ' " the last part adds nothing but emphasis. Davies v. Powell Duffryn Associated Collieries, Ltd., [1942] A. C. 601, 607."
Back to the barstuffs.

"breaking from the tradition of unanimity"
as noted at Volokh Conspiracy, this is more like the "assumed" tradition
Sorry, but suggesting that AS's citation of UK law contravenes AS's disdain of foreign law exposes your misunderstanding. AS routinely cites UK precedent, particularly when the legal issue is one of common law at the time of the Founders.

Bad Boys of 'Cops' find a new home on Spike TV
"Cops," Fox's low-budget celebration of car chases, naughty-word obfuscation and private-part pixelation, is moving to guy-centric Spike TV in the fall.
For continuity's sake, Spike will keep the franchise in the Saturday-at-8-p.m. time slot that has been home for more than two decades, the Viacom-owned cable network said Monday. Fox was a "netlet," as the trade papers called it, when "Cops" launched in 1989.
"The rawest and . . . most realistic of all reality shows" (Spike TV's description) will begin its 26th season in September on its new network.
"As we continue to grow and expand our audience, new episodes of 'Cops,' with its loyal audience of adults 18-49, is the perfect addition to our primetime lineup on Saturday nights," Spike TV President Kevin Kay explained in Monday's news.
Sure enough, this past Saturday's finale of an abbreviated 25th season won its hour among 18-to-49-year-old viewers in competition with the other major English-language broadcast networks. Of the show's 2.94 million overall viewers, 1.1 million fell into that age bracket. (An additional 1.64 million of them were 50 and older; 92,000 were 12 to 17 years old; and 118,000 were 2 to 11 years old.)
This season on Fox, the median age for "Cops" at 8 p.m. was 50.5 years. Although that sounds pretty old for a network that has an overall prime-time median age of 46.4 years, it's not so terribly old for Saturday night on broadcast TV. Fox's "Following" reruns, for instance, have a median age of 51.4 years; ABC's Saturday edition of "20/20" has a median age of 57.9 years; and CBS's Saturday repeats of its crime dramas have a median age of just over 62.
On the bright side, the "Cops" crowd skews roughly 51 percent female and 49 percent male among 18-to-49-year-old viewers. In an era in which a show with a 50-50 split is considered pretty guy-skewing -- because chicks watch more TV -- this is a good thing.
But the "Cops" crowd is also pretty downscale.
These days, "Cops" has the lowest concentration of young adults living in homes with an income of $100,000-plus of any prime-time series on a Big Four broadcast network. Downscale shows generally command lower ad rates than so-called "upscale" programs -- ones watched in homes making $100K-plus.
As part of the deal, Spike TV has licensed some older "Cops" repeats for rotation. Initially, Spike will air back-to-back original episodes of "Cops" to make some noise. But, eventually, Spike will return the franchise to the Fox format, pairing an original episode with a repeat for a full hour of "Cops."
Spike, which runs movies on Saturday night, will initially run repeats of original series behind "Cops," but plans to use the franchise to launch original series, Kay explained of the thinking behind the deal.
Little more than a year ago, Fox announced plans to jam its Saturday nights with about 100 hours of Major League Baseball, college football, the NFL, NASCAR and UFC programming -- slashing the number of Saturdays available for "Cops" for the rest of the calendar year 2012.
TV-industry navel-lint pickers saw it as the death knell for the Fox staple, which was then in its 24th season, though Fox reps insisted that the order for "Cops" going forward would only be slightly smaller than its usual order of 22 episodes.
Here's a good place to note that a 22-episode order was a pale shadow of the 46 episodes Fox ordered for, say, the sixth season of "Cops." As recently as five seasons back, it wasn't unheard of for Fox to order at least 36 episodes.
Sure enough, "Cops" debuted its 25th season Dec. 15, 2012, and had its finale this past Saturday -- a 16-episode season.
The "Cops" migration was not a surprise: In May 2011, Fox announced that it had canceled the longtime companion show of "Cops," "America's Most Wanted," as a weekly series.
"AMW" migrated to Lifetime network; it has since been canceled.

Tajikistan; traveling the Pamir highway
A Central Asian country that is still relatively under the radar, is located south of both Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, countries which are currently well-known by travelers. It is the smallest country in the region and more than half of it is over 3.000 meters. This country is of course Tajikistan. One of the main attractions of this destination is the Pamir highway, a road that passes through an autonomous region called Gorno-Badakhshan with a population density of only 3,2 per squared kilometer!

Ex-CSU assistant coach joins new Broncos staff at Dove Valley
Long-time Colorado State fans should spot a familiar name on John Fox's new Denver Broncos staff.
Offensive line coach Dave Magazu has followed Fox from Carolina and he could double as the local tour.
Magazu was one of Earle Bruce's last staff hires at CSU in 1992. Sonny Lubick kept him on when he arrived for the 1993 season. He was probably Lubick's best short-term assistant coach not named Urban Meyer (who was on that same staff.)
In the process, Magazu coached CSU's current O-line coach and offensive coordinator Pat Meyer.
Magazu was instrumental in preparing CSU's offensive line for Arizona's star-studded defense in the 1994 game that put the Rams on the map.
The much traveled coach left Fort Collins for Kentucky, moved to Memphis and Boston College before moving up to the NFL as a tight ends coach.

Instagram, meet your ancestors: an exhibit's digital version bridges the generations of old school photo manipulation and our social media-fueled image sharing obsessions.
There's an astounding display of pre-computer-era photomontage and photomanipulation now exhibiting at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City: Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop. It's got everything from vintage trickery to surrealist expressions, all done before the advent of digital tools like Photoshop. In a beautiful irony, the exhibition is made possible by Adobe, makers of the Photoshop software.
But you don't have visit NYC to see it…
What's amazing to me, and what inspired this post, is that there's an equally astounding digital representation of the works available for your browsing pleasure – more than 200 in all. Online, for free. Which is pretty darned sweet.
An innocuous "Works in the Exhibition" link just above the fold at The Met's website takes you to an incredible look at what's inside. I call it incredible not just for the content (which is beyond incredible to me), but because it exists online for our easy perusal and sharing. I'm thrilled not only to see such amazing art here, but also to see The Met's embracing of the digital community in order to promote the exhibit.
The site features an elegant photo slide show, complete with sharing functionality to Pinterest, Tumblr, StumbleUpon and other networks. They even offer hi-res jpegs of some of the works for extra-close viewing or downloading via fullscreen mode.
There's an app for that, of course
Perhaps you would prefer to view these works on your iPad? No problem. The free iPad app accompanying the exhibition offers easy browsing of a handful of the included works and an interactive quiz exploring the motivations and techniques.
The app's target audience seems to be the kids, and I bet this would make a fascinating case to a young creative mind about the power of photo manipulation as art and the importance of questioning what we see – with the latter becoming ever more important considering the issues raised by digital photo editing and popular notions of beauty.
More than just "fakes"
Long before Instagram or Photoshop, there was darkroom wizardry. What got me interested in the exhibit in the first place was its inclusion of amazing photomontage art from the likes of Jerry Uelsmann (my all-time top inspiration) and Angus McBean:
In my opinion, the app and companion website add tremendous value to the whole endeavor, allowing people to connect and interact with historically relevant art in ways that are common these days because of experiences like Instagram, Pinterest – and especially Photoshop. Huge props to Adobe for sponsoring this.

Thanks to the Met's generous actions in the digital realm, I'm even more inclined now to physically visit the museum, see these works in person and probably buy a catalogue in the meantime (and speaking of catalogues, check out these other more than 300 Met Museum catalogues downloadable for free).
Having been a graphic artist for many years, I've practically lived in Photoshop as an operating system, and working there is my favorite part of design, more so than typography or arranging layouts – leading right up to today with my own iPhone photomontage creations:
I'm happy to have signed up for a My Met membership thanks to this excellent digital representation, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of what's to come – something I hadn't much considered until discovering the online component of this exhibit. Props to The Met for harnessing and embracing the power of the Internet for cultural benefit. Now go visit The Met's site, metmuseum.org and discover something cool for yourself.
What do you think? Does such open sharing increase or decrease the value of museum offerings? Or is that a non-issue in our world of mobile photography, photo-sharing networks and interconnectedness? Share your thoughts in the comments.

There's a particular type of online scam that uses malware to lure you into contacting fake tech support. Scammers will pretend to be Microsoft support and claim there are problems with your PC, such as malware or licensing issues, system errors, or displaying fake blue screens. They then try to get you to pay for services or software to fix the problems. They may also try to get access to your PC by getting you to install remote management apps.
How it works and how it gets on a PC
The most prevalent scams are hosted on websites. For example, you're browsing and you start seeing errors such as a pop-up message that you can't dismiss, or your browser suddenly goes into a full-screen mode showing a blue screen, Windows activation page, supposed malware infection, or system error with a tech support number.
How to know if you're infected and what to do
You may have a support scam malware threat on your PC if:
- You can't use your web browser properly, and you see a page informing you to contact a tech support number.
- You can't use your PC normally, and you see a message that tells you to contact a tech support number.
When you receive a phone call or see a pop-up window on your PC and feel uncertain whether it is from someone at Microsoft, do not use those phone numbers. Instead, contact Microsoft support at the Microsoft Answer Desk. Microsoft does not send unsolicited email messages or make unsolicited phone calls to request personal or financial information or fix your computer.
You can also contact your local government scam reporting department, such as:
- In the United Kingdom, you can report fraud as well as unsolicited calls.
If you've already engaged with the scam:
- Uninstall or turn off any remote management tools you may have installed or turned on.
- Use Windows Defender Antivirus or Windows Defender Offline to clean your PC and make sure Windows 10 is up to date.
- Apply all security updates as soon as they are available.
- Change your passwords.
- Call your credit card provider to try reversing the charges.
- Pay attention to any unusual activity on your PC.
- Consider restoring your PC to a previous state. Learn how.
- CALL a UK Based Local IT Consultant
If you're in an enterprise, see the Microsoft Malware Protection Center for in-depth information about tech support scams.

Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi has wrapped his latest feature Palestine Stereo and is looking for post-production finance, according to Tunisian producer Habib Attia of Cinetelefilms.
"We're looking for the last 25% of budget to complete post-production," said Tunis-based Attia, who is producing the picture alongside Masharawi's Ramallah-based CinePal Films. "The idea is to put a rough-cut together and then show it to post-production funds."
The tale of two West Bank brothers trying to raise the money to emigrate to Canada following a deadly Israeli raid on their refugee camp was shot in and around Ramallah over the summer.
Budgeted at $1.5m, Palestine Stereo is one of the most expensive Palestinian pictures ever made.
Attia explains putting the finance together has proved no easy feat. To date, he and Masharawi have tapped more than half a dozen sources of finance.
"It's extremely difficult to raise the entire budget for a feature just out of Tunisia, especially for a foreign film. We do what I call 'mosaic financing', piecing together as many bits of finance as possible," said Attia, who also co-produced Masharawi's previous film Leila's Birthday.
Backers to date include Norway's Sorfund, Oslo-based producers Ape & Bjorn, France's new World Cinema Fund, Paris-based Mille et Une productions, the Dubai Film Market's Enjaaz, Italy's Produzione Straordinaria, the Gaza Media Center and the Ramallah-based Palestinian Investment Fund.
Both Attia and Masharawi are at the festival. Masharawi's Land Of The Story and Hinde Boujamaa's Cinetelefilms-produced It Was Better Tomorrow are both competing in the Muhr Arab documentary section.
Attia is also commencing financing of Tunisian director Fares Naana's A Full Moon Night – revolving around the disintegration of a marriage against the backdrop of contemporary Tunisia - at the Dubai Film Connection.
