Teen Mom 2 never fails to bring the drama. Things also move quickly in the Teen Mom 2 world. Miss an episode and everything changes!
Tonight was like the night of 1,000 moves. Between Jenelle getting in a huge fight with her roommate and having the roommate move out (big shock), Chelsea deciding she wants a new place, Leah moving in with Jeremy, AND Kailyn making her big move, every single girl on the show changed their living situation.
Having just moved 600 miles myself, I can officially say that moving with children is no small thing. More power to them. But instability in your early 20s is probably one of the biggest reasons to wait to have children. When I was 20, I moved multiple times every single year. I can't even imagine having a baby then. But I digress.
Chelsea has recovered enough from the death of Frankie last week (her dog that was attacked by the neighbor's dog) to get a new dog this week. This is why she decided to move. She needs a fenced-in yard for the dog. But the conversation that ensued with her father was positively infuriating. It went something like this:
"Daddy, can you co-sign for my apartment? But I am 20! You can't tell me who to live with!"
Sorry, Chelsea. That isn't how it works. You are 20, but you still can't get your own place without your father's help.
This, of course, was also the night of immaturity. Corey made some low blows at Leah regarding her relationship with Jeremy. "He must have something good," Corey told her. Not only is that an inappropriate comment (did he mean that sexually? Because I took it that way), it's also just immature.
So your relationship didn't work out? That isn't an excuse to bad mouth your ex's new flame. That isn't an excuse for insults and immature comments. Sorry. It's not. End of discussion. Is Leah moving too fast? Maybe. But that is her mistake to make. Corey has had his chance and he chose not to take it. So how is insulting her fair?
In his defense, he realized it quickly, but still. Of course, Corey's immaturity was nothing compared to Jenelle's. That fight over the hoodie? PURE insanity. Grow UP. You have a child, Jenelle.
Ending a friendship like that just seems so wrong. It may not all be Jenelle's fault. But there is no doubt that she was at fault for how badly things went at the move-out. Has she ever heard of apologizing and moving on?
It's just sad.
Do you think Jenelle was acting immature about the move?

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition Review
Making a choice of which video card to buy is becoming more difficult with all the specialized models that feature better cooling solutions, improved build quality, and increased clock speeds — all to draw the buyer in. There are plenty of catchphrases used to entice the buyer to a certain product. This is more prevalent in big box retail shops, where the packaging is front and center, while in the e-tail world, the product is usually shown before the packaging. With all the flashy illustrations and wording, what really sells is the product and knowing how it will perform against the base model. What good is that awesome looking cooling solution if it's not functional or what about the higher clock speeds that show no appreciable change in performance. There has to be a benefit for the higher end product to be worth the investment. Well, when it comes to benefits, the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition (quite a mouthful) video card comes jam-packed with all the goodies in MSI's tool chest. First off, there is the Twin Frozr III cooling solution that uses MSI's new Propeller Blade technology to push 20% more air through the heat sink fin array. You get higher clock speeds to satisfy that requirement, along with improved build quality that includes MSI's Military Class technology, which uses Tantalum core Hi-C caps, Super Ferrite chokes, and solid aluminum capacitors, as well as a 6+2 Phase VRM circuit. All this should provide the enthusiast with a card that not only runs cool, but has the tools to take the performance up another notch, if needed. Let's see how the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition performs while gaming and how efficient the cooling solution from MSI really can be.
Closer Look:
With so many of us using the benefits of the Internet to purchase our parts, the allure of the brick and mortar store is lost on us. However, there is still a need for elaborate packaging for those who purchase from a brick and mortar store, who use the information contained on the package for comparison shopping. The more information the better, so an informed decision can be made when it comes time to spend that hard-earned cash. MSI has done a good job of packing information onto the R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition with the front panel showing a 3/4 view of the card, the mention of the 3-year warranty for North America customers only, CrossfireX and Eyefinity capabilities, the amount of memory at 2GB of GDDR5, triple over-voltage adjustment for the enthusiast, and that the Power Edition is a factory overclocked model. The rear panel lists most of the AMD-specific features, which include AMD HD3D technology, UVD 3, and GPU acceleration in Microsoft Office 2010. The minimum system requirements are listed so there are no questions regarding what is needed. The flip-open front cover details MSI's Military Class II components, the 6+2 Phase PWM design, and the benefits of the Propeller Blade design and Twin Frozr III cooling solution, which is 11 degrees Celsius cooler and 13db quieter than the reference design cooling.
Inside the box, the R6950 Twin Frozr III PE is protected in a foam enclosure with the power adapters. Under the foam, the remainder of the bundled accessories can be found in a separate compartment.
Bundled accessories add value to the purchase of a video card. MSI has equipped the R6950 Twin Frozr III with a bundle I would call standard for a card of this caliber — a manual for the R6900 series, a quick start guide, the driver disk, two 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PEG power adapters, Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter, DVI to VGA adapter, and a CrossFireX bridge connection.
Custom cooling and power circuits should prove interesting and be a way to differentiate the reliability of the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition from that of the reference design.

Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd of Big Brother are officially a couple! The well liked and popular duo of BB11 have been inseparable since the show ended weeks ago. In a new interview with PEOPLE, they confirm their relationship status and discuss life out of the Big Brother house.
"Yes we are!" Jordan Lloyd, 23, tells PEOPLE when asked if she and Jeff, 30, are officially a couple. "We never really talked about it. It just kind of happened."
"I liked her on the show, that was obvious," says Jeff, "but after the show ended I liked her even more. I get in trouble when I say that, because Jordan is like, 'You didn't like me on the show, and now you like me!?' but what I mean is that I like her even more now that I see who she is outside of the Big Brother house."
Jordan has also kept her promise and bought her mom a home with part of her $500,000 earnings from winning the show. "Right after the show," she says, "I got on the Internet, but I couldn't find anything, and to make matters worse, my mom was being so picky. But I finally found something, and when my mom looked at it she fell in love with it!"
As for whether or not things have gotten intimate with the couple, or in Jordan's words, whether or not "booger" is in their immediate future, Jordan says with a laugh, "I think he's waited long enough."

Thank you very very much to Perry from Matilda who was at Friday night's Ned Kelly awards and kindly let me know the winners:
THE TALL MAN by Chloe Hooper
First Fiction
GHOSTLINES by Nick Gadd
DEEP WATER by Peter Corris and
SMOKE & MIRRORS by Kel Robertson (tie)
S.D. Harvey Award
"Fidget's Farewell" by Scott McDermott
Lifetime Achievement
Shane Maloney
Thanks also to Craig Sisterson (whose name will be familiar to readers of GoodReading Magazine) for the heads up about the tie for the Fiction award. Given that these 2 were up against the wonderful Barry Maitland this was definitely an entry in the "I'm glad I'm not a judge of that one" category.
Having said that Kel's book is a second in his series, Peter is up to however many dozens in his series. Add to that Smoke & Mirrors was published in a very small run (paid for by the author himself!), and I really hope that Kel's savouring the moment.
Ghostlines is also a fantastic win - an unusual book, it was one of my favourites last year.

Most disasters are natural disasters, the result of some force of nature, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods. Some natural disasters can be predicted, such as hurricanes and severe winter storms, while others, such as tornadoes and earthquakes, happen with little or no warning.
Some disasters are the cause of human actions, intentional or unintentional. A disaster plan will help with safety, security, and comfort.
Regardless of the type of disaster, there are things you can do to prepare. Contact your local Red Cross chapter, visit the FEMA Web site, or Ready.gov to make sure you are aware of the potential for natural disasters in your community. After you have identified the types of disasters that could strike where you live, create a family disaster plan that can apply to any type of disaster �C natural, unintentional, or intentional.
Prepare an emergency supplies kitDisaster can occur suddenly and without warning. They can be frightening for adults, but they are traumatic for children if they don't know what to do when these events occur. Children depend on daily routines. When an emergency disturbs their routine, children can become nervous. In an emergency, they'll look to parents or other adults to help.
How parents react to an emergency gives children an indication on how to act. They see their parents' fear as proof that the danger is real. A parent's response during this time may have a long-term impact. Including children in the family's recovery plans will help them feel that their life will return to normal.
Families should prepare an emergency supplies kit (PDF, 257 KB) and develop a plan. Practice your plan so that everyone will remember what to do in an emergency. Everyone in the home, including children, should play a part in the family's response and recovery efforts. Remember: make the plan simple so everyone can remember the details.

Just before the New Year, Samsung announced it had shipped 1 million Galaxy Note devices, and that this figure would see another increase when it finally launched in the USA this year. With no official word on when this would be, all we could do was wait and hope for confirmation at CES 2012.
With less than ten days until CES kicks off, a new leaked press shot suggests that not only is it being prepared for an appearance there, but that the previous rumors surrounding the supporting network were correct.
AT&T had already been linked to the Note, and sure enough, their branding sits proudly above its screen in the picture. The Note will also differ slightly to the existing international versions in appearance, and will fall in-line with AT&T's other Samsung smartphones by altering the controls below the screen too.
Galaxy Notes sold elsewhere in the world have a hardware "home" button, flanked by capacitive "menu" and "back" keys beneath the screen. However AT&T's Note –along with their Galaxy S II — will have the hardware button replaced by two capacitive buttons, "home" and "search" instead. This set of four command keys will be familiar to many Android users.
This alteration does strip the Note of some character, but obviously maintains a uniform style for AT&T's range. It has also previously been speculated that the change is important to distance the Galaxy's look from that of the Apple iPhone.
A potential feature list was also supplied to SamMobile, and it's possible the US Note will have an NFC chip inside, ready for any future wireless payment systems the carrier may introduce.
The CES 2012 show officially starts on January 10, but Samsung has a press conference scheduled for 2pm on January 9.

O'Meara: Singh should be punished
Mark O'Meara doesn't think Vijay Singh would ever try to cheat but still believes the Fijian should be suspended "for a couple of months" by the PGA Tour for admitting he used a deer-antler spray that contains a banned substance.
O'Meara, who called Singh a friend, said he heard about the Fijian's admission on Wednesday, but doesn't believe he benefited on the course from the unorthodox treatment.
"I was obviously a little bit surprised with what I heard, but I don't think Vijay is a guy that would ever take advantage of anything. I know Vijay," O'Meara said after finishing his first round at the Dubai Desert Classic.
"I guess they could probably suspend him for a couple of months. I would think so," the two-time major winner said. "Listen, people have had to pay the price before and he should be no different. If that is the case and the commissioner and tour feels he should be suspended for X amount of time, I think Vijay is man enough that he'll do that."
The 49-year-old Singh said he paid one of Sports With Alternatives To Steroids' owners $9,000 in November for the spray and other products, Sports Illustrated said. Singh released a statement at the Phoenix Open confirming he had taken it, but that he was "absolutely shocked that deer-antler spray may contain a banned substance and am angry that I have put myself in this position."
Singh, who won the last of his 56 titles in 2008, said he will cooperate with the tour's review of the issue.
Bob Charles, the 1963 British Open winner, said in New Zealand on Thursday he also used and promoted deer-antler spray for more than 20 years, and was surprised to learn it contained a banned substance. Charles was a spokesman for the deer-antler product and used it daily over two decades.
Despite Singh's admission, O'Meara and other golfers said they felt the measures in place to combat doping in golf, including random testing, were adequate.
"I don't think doping is a problem in golf whatsoever. I really don't," Paul Casey said. "There are so many facets to our sport. Why was he taking it? Was he taking it to recover from injury? It doesn't help you get the ball in the hole at the end of the day. This is the first case I've heard where a guy admitted to taking anything."
The oddity of deer-antler spray being used by golfers was the talk on the Dubai course on Thursday, with Lee Westwood among the players having a good laugh about it. Most said they had never heard of it until the story on Singh.
"Deer-antler spray? That sounds like something you wax your car with, doesn't it?" Westwood said. "I've never heard of it. . . . You have to be careful about what you take. I try not to take anything now, really, other than Corona and vodka."
Colin Montgomerie, a rival of Singh during their heydays, called the whole case "odd" and said the European Tour doctor "came to us (and said) deer antler, whatever it is, don't take that this afternoon lads."
Montgomerie said the tour had nothing to worry about with him when it came to doping.
"I can only speak for myself and it's not widespread within the Montgomerie family," the 2010 Europe Ryder Cup captain said, looking down at his torso. "Unfortunately. You can see that though, can't you, really."

What to buy the biker/runner/swimmer/backpacker/kayaker/skier who already has all the sport-specific toys he/she will ever need? Preferably something that's functional, has a cool design, is so new that no one's heard of it and, of course, is small enough to slip into a stocking.
-- Roy M. Wallack
Control your iPod
Timex Ironman iControl: Sports watch that can remotely control an iPod, letting you tuck it away in a pocket as you run, paddle or ski.
Likes: Ends the hassle of fiddling with an iPod while on the move, athletically or otherwise. Just tap buttons on the watch to pause/play, change volume and scroll up and down your playlist. Winter-friendly buttons are easier to use with gloves than the iPod's control wheel. Small, lightweight, water-resistant watch includes regular sports functions such as a 50-lap memory, training log, countdown timer, two interval timers, three alarms and night light. Easy assembly; works immediately without set up by plugging a transmitter into the bottom of recent-generation iPods or iPhone.
Dislikes: Has no heart-rate monitor capability and crowds out the Nike Plus speed/distance system (since its transmitter takes up the iPod's sole docking port). Also, the watch cannot shut off the iPod).
Price: $125. www.timex.com and store.apple.com.
Rope tightener
Nite Ize Figure 9: Instant rope securing/tightening device with an attached carabiner.
Likes: Quick way to secure recreational items without tying knots or using stretch cords. Handy for pitching tents/tarps and strapping kayaks and surfboards to truck beds and roof racks. Just clip the carabiner to a fixed point, wrap the rope around the other end and pull tight. (Instructions are etched into the device.) The large Figure 9 secures loads to 150 pounds and can clip to a standard roof or bike rack. The small version can hold 50 pounds.
Dislikes: None.
Price: $3.99 (small), $5.95 (large). (800) 678-6483; www.niteize.com
Resistance workout
Spri Xercuff Plus: A strength-resistance device made of a loop of industrial latex stretch-cord tubing with two attached cushioned Velcro handles.
Likes: Simple but effective all-body resistance in a 4-ounce package. Although originally designed for leg-resistance exercises to be used by kickboxers (the cuffs can strap around your ankles), it does a surprisingly good job on upper body muscles too, such as pec flies and one-arm rows. Many other exercises available on instruction chart and on several 30-second tutorials on the website. Five color-keyed resistance levels available.
Dislikes: None.
Price: $20.95. (800) 222-7774; www.spriproducts.com.

Beth Foster was looking for a better way to invest part of her bonus than a savings account when she received an e-mail from her trusted online travel agent.
The privately owned travel start-up, called Mr & Mrs Smith, was selling a four-year bond directly to its customers, paying 7.5 percent interest in cash or 9.5 percent in Mr & Mrs Smith vouchers that could be used to book vacations.
With memories of a recent trip to Tuscany still fresh in her mind, Ms. Foster, 30, decided to invest just short of £5,000, or just under $8,000, and tapped into a growing market in Britain and the rest of Europe of companies seeking cash directly from individuals eager for higher returns in a low-interest environment.
"This is a much better and more exciting way to invest than a savings account," said Ms. Foster, a strategist at Google in London. "It seemed as safe as anything else right now."
With interest rates at a record low of 0.5 percent in Britain and many savings account rates below the country's inflation level, investors are jumping on products with higher returns, even if they are riskier. Companies are eager to explore new ways of financing as bank lending continues to be tight after the financial crisis.
Britain's retail bond market, where companies large and small go directly to individual investors to raise money, has soared to more than $2 billion a year from about $360 million in 2010 (the figures do not include unregulated bonds issued by the likes of Mr & Mrs Smith, which are not tracked). That is still minuscule compared to the $214 billion in debt issued by companies in Britain this year and $3.7 trillion worldwide.
Similar retail bonds are not offered in the United States, where investors hungry for yield have piled into corporate debt through investment funds. But the retail bonds speak to a broader trend of companies tapping people for money more directly and introducing greater risk. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act that Congress passed this year allows "emerging growth" companies to sell stock with fewer restrictions and then report less information to their shareholders than was required from ordinary companies.
Concerns about Europe's retail bonds are emerging, especially with the smaller companies. The bonds might appeal to customers of the companies because they feel they are supporting a start-up firm, but many are risky because they are unregulated and barely traded.
"It's a bit worrying that people are prepared to take extra risk because they know or trust the company brand name," said Howard Burchett, director of private clients at broker Charles Stanley. Mr & Mrs Smith said it planned to raise nearly $8 million with the bond and "cut out the big banks" while obtaining financing for an expansion plan. Leon, a sandwich shop here, plans to pay interest to its bond investors in salads and meatball wraps, while Hotel Chocolat, a British chocolate maker, has been paying bond investors in boxes of chocolate.
"Interest rates main institutions are offering are very low, there's no trust in financial institutions and it's pointless to keep money in the bank, so people are thinking, 'Why not?' " Peter Harris, co-founder of Hotel Chocolat, said. The company so far has raised more than $6 million by selling bonds.
While Hotel Chocolat's and Mr & Mrs Smith's unregulated bonds are not publicly traded and are purchased directly from the company, another more liquid and regulated area of the retail bond market is also flourishing. In it, a growing number of larger and publicly traded utilities and financial services firms have been soliciting retail investors over the last year or so.
For these companies, retail bonds are usually a cheaper and faster way to raise money than a traditional corporate bond. They do not require the services of investment banks or expensive road shows to garner investor interest, and listing fees are lower. Companies market their retail bonds directly to their customers through leaflets and by post rather than to financial institutions.
Investors in retail bonds that trade on the London Stock Exchange still need to purchase them through a designated broker, but they do not have to buy into a fund and are exempt from a certain tax on financial investments.
They also don't have to put up as much money. The minimum investment is well below that of traditional corporate bonds. For example, St. Modwen Properties, a real estate company that raised $127 million through a retail bond on Nov. 7, allowed a minimum investment of £2,000, or a little over $3,100. That compares with a minimum of nearly $80,000 for a corporate bond, according to the London Stock Exchange. St. Modwen's bonds mature in 2019 and pay a fixed interest rate of 6.25 percent a year. Other companies that issued retail bonds recently include National Grid, a utility; the financial arm of Tesco, the supermarket chain; and Severn Trent, a British water company.
"It's about diversifying our funding sources," said Michael McKeon, chief financial officer of Severn Trent, which borrowed about $120 million through 10-year bonds at a variable rate in July of 1.3 percent. "If it goes well, we should be coming back to this market more often."
Xavier Rolet, the chief executive of the London Stock Exchange, said he saw opportunities for similar markets in the United States and elsewhere in Europe.
Given that about three-quarters of corporate funding needs in Europe are met by banks, and banks are deleveraging their lending portfolios, "we see a good match between the yield in retail bonds and a lot of capital available from retail investors looking for that yield," Mr. Rolet said. "There is no yield these days unless you want to invest in Greek debt."
Eden Riche, head of debt capital markets origination at Investec in London, said the stock exchange's retail bond market helped to make bonds more attractive to ordinary investors because of greater transparency and a low minimum investment of around $3,000, on average. Once the bonds are traded on the exchange, investors can buy and sell them for as little as £100, or $160.
"You've got this huge pool of retail liquidity sitting dormant in savings accounts that is coming to the bond market, earning higher yield," Mr. Riche said. "But of course there is higher risk associated with this."
Retail bonds that are not traded on the exchange, like the Mr & Mrs Smith bond, can be bought from the company directly either through their Web site or by sending a check by post.
Ms. Foster, the Mr & Mrs Smith investor, said she discussed the move with her financial adviser, who had his reservations. But in the end, her decision was based on a little bit more than just pure financials. "I really believe in the brand," she said, "and it's much more appealing using your money supporting a U.K. start-up."

The clock is ticking on Capitol Hill for lawmakers to pass a budget to keep the government running.
Continue Reading Below
Much of the hope that lawmakers would be able to come to an agreement has faded as both sides continue to play a game of legislative ping-pong .
If lawmakers and the White House can't reach a compromise, the government will close at midnight, and federal agencies would suspend many activities and furlough at least 800,000 of its more than two million workers. The government's fiscal year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, and the Constitution mandates Congress pass bills that fund the government.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a spending bill early Sunday that included a provision that delays the implementation of the Affordable Care Act for one year. The House also voted to repeal a 2.3% tax on medical devices designed to help pay for the health-care reform. The Senate will take up the spending bill at 2:00 p.m., but isn't expected to pass it with the ACA provision.
Last week, in a 54-44 vote, the Senate passed and sent the House a "clean" Continuing Resolution bill that stripped out the provision to defund the health law.
The country's history is littered with government shutdowns, with six occurring between 1977 and 1980. The last shutdown lasted 21 days during the Clinton Administration and also centered around a health-care disagreement: Medicare funding.
"It's not uncommon for an impasse to come up about potential cuts and spending, but what is unusual in this case, is that health reform is already law of the land so trying to defund is where the dysfunction comes in," says Elaine Kamarck, director, Center for Effective Public Management at the Brookings Institution.
Many government agencies have been busy updating their contingency plans and informing their workers what happens if the government goes dark Monday night. According to the Congressional Research Service (CSR), "government shutdowns have necessitated furloughs of several hundred thousand federal employees, required cessation or reduction of many government programs, and affected numerous sectors of the economy."
Here's a look at what to expect if the government shuts down:
Who Still Gets Paid?
The Office of Management and Budget ordered federal agencies to start updating their plans for a potential shutdown earlier in mid-September, and workers in all three government branches are at risk of being furloughed. The Constitution prohibits federal employees and contractors from being paid if appropriations haven't been passed.
The CSR reports the executive branch is the largest in personnel and budget size, but furloughs cannot be applied to the president, presidential appointees, Congress members and federal employees deemed "excepted."
For example, workers providing essential services in areas of national security, foreign affairs or public health and safety are exempt from the effects of a shutdown. Air traffic controllers would also stay in place along with border patrol agents.
The 1995 shutdown resulted in 800,000 federal workers initially furloughed. Kamarck, who worked in the White House during that shutdown, recalls a very empty White House.
"Non-essential workers are not allowed to work and you would be in violation of the law if you go to work. During the period of 1995-96 shutdown, there were 30 people in the White House complex as opposed to the couple hundred that are normally present."
The Department of Education plans to furlough more than 90% of its total staff for the first week of a shutdown, and would phase in more employees if the closure persists.
However, just because workers aren't going to work doesn't meant they won't get paid. Furloughed workers could receive pay retroactively.
"They don't have to get their pay, there is nothing in the law that requires pay for furloughed government workers, but in every past instance where the government did shutdown, furloughed workers were given retroactive pay, that is a policy choice of members of Congress," says Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation.
Federal contractors will stop being paid, and during the last shutdown, more than 20% of federal contracts worth $400 billion were involved, CSR reports.
The court system would continue to operate, with judges, key staff members—including probation officers—not facing a furlough. However, during the last shutdown, work on more than 3,500 bankruptcy cases were reportedly suspended.
Entitlement Programs
Social Security and Medicare payments will still go out, but experts say a shutdown could bring delays.Both programs are considered mandatory funding, which means they were written to be funded indefinitely and there's no annual appropriation.
During the last shutdown, CSR reports, the Social Security Administration kept fewer than 50,000 workers to help provide existing benefits. "People who are fortunate enough to be turning 66 in the middle of a shutdown, might not be able to sign up for their benefits because there is no one to set them up," says Kamarck.
The rollout of the health insurance exchanges as part of the Affordable Care Act will still go live Oct.1, even if the government is closed. The money for running the exchanges don't rely on appropriations from Congress.
Your Life
Non-government workers might not even feel the effect of a closed government.
"The president will do what he can to make it seem like the public is going to be inconvenienced with a shutdown," says von Spakovsky. "National parks will close and the places people like to visit in Washington, D.C., will be unavailable. But planes will still fly, Medicaid and Social Security checks will still go out…the average person might not even notice a shutdown."
Veterans could face holdups with receiving services regarding health and welfare and finance. New passport applications could be delayed, and travelers could face longer lines at customs when re-entering the country.
Federal funding for benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children which provides grants to states for food aid, health care referrals and nutrition education for some low-income women and children will stop if the government shuts down.
During the last shutdown, there were delays in processing alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives applications by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and recruitment and testing of federal law enforcement officials were cancelled.
Kamarck says shutdowns often show just how many agencies and state and local government rely on federal funding. "When the checks stop coming, people realize how much Washington supports, it's stunning. During the 1996 shutdown, some Catholic charities had to shutdown without funding, and there are lots of non-profits and for-profits that are dependent on federal grants. When the money stops trickling down from the government, that has a ripple effect throughout communities.
The country's 368 national parks will shutter, which could hurt tourism revenue since in 1996, an estimated two million visitors were missed during the shutdown.
The National Institution of Health will likely stop enrolling new patients as it did in 1996 into clinical trials and will have to close its hotlines.
Impact on Country's Debt
Even if Congress comes to a compromise over the budget, another battle remains over the debt ceiling. However, even if a budget agreement isn't reach, that doesn't mean the government will default, that only happens if it can't pay interest or principal on its bond obligations.
If anything, von Spakovsky says a shutdown could help with the country's debt. "The government won't be spending money on programs that are not considered emergency or essential and some of these are wasteful government programs, so that's good news."
While experts agree a shutdown creates unnecessary political drama, it can also be detrimental to lawmakers' careers. "Clinton won his re-election probably in the six days of that shutdown," says Kamarck. "It's an extraordinarily high-risk gambit for the House of Representatives, Gingrich was finished with speaker after that battle."

In the blog post, Stippi details just how he came to work on the WebKit port, and effort which has been under way for a while now. The progress he has been able to make, with the help of several other developers, is quite tremendous, and while I could try to summarise what it took to get there, it's better just to read the whole thing yourself.
So, where does all this leave Haiku's WebKit port?
"So far I think my choice to invest into WebKit was a good one," Stippi summarises, "It's possible to make a very native feeling browser, although some compromises have to be made. While WebCore is essentially single threaded, at least the native drawing happens in one app_server thread per page. And this will of course improve over time, as WebCore itself will make more use of threading. In terms of feeling native, I believe HaikuLauncher has left the Firefox port far behind. It even renders faster in many situations, sometimes drastically faster."
HaikuLauncher supports tabbed browsing, has a separate download window, and can render complex pages like Google Maps, GMail, and so on. Early reports from Haiku users (taken from the comments' section) indicate that it launches fast, too. This is
BeOS Haiku after all.
The website of the Italian Haiku User Group (a HUG! If that doesn't fit the BeOS world I don't know what does) has some very, very beautiful screenshots of the new browser in action.

Taking one look at the replay on the giant video board inside Ford Field with 1 minutes 26 seconds left in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Bears believed they had regained their mojo in Motown.
Bernard Berrian, who had just scored the apparent go-ahead touchdown on a 43-yard pass from Chad Hutchinson, traded chest bumps with David Terrell.
Offensive coordinator Terry Shea exhaled three weeks' worth of relief.
A smiling Hutchinson smacked high-fives and started a sideline celebration the football gods would never let him finish.
Asked if he had begun to celebrate, Hutchinson answered: "Didn't [everyone]? [Berrian] had two feet in and kept the ball in his possession. When I see it on TV like that, it's a touchdown."
Even Lions coach Steve Mariucci said, "I think it might have been a touchdown, maybe, like you did."
The Bears already had begun setting up their two-minute defense when referee Terry McAulay became the Grinch who stole the Bears' Christmas weekend win.
Replay official Bobby Skelton reviewed the play in consultation with McAulay, who then announced to the delight of the crowd that Berrian had not had control of the football when he came down in the end zone.
"After review, as the receiver was going to the ground on his own, the ball moved when he hit the ground," McAulay said. "It is an incomplete pass as ruled on the field."
Bears ecstasy became agony in an instant. The look on coach Lovie Smith's face was longer than the Bears' road losing streak in December, now at seven games, and his expression had not changed after the game.
"I got the same explanation that you got it, [and] I'm still not exactly sure what it was," Smith said. "I think in time more people will see it my way.
"Maybe I'm wrong, [and] if you slow it down, and slow it down, maybe I saw it different and they had the best shot. I'll go home and look at it tonight. Of course, that doesn't really matter."
Berrian, the rookie deep threat who beat reserve cornerback Andre Goodman by a step, had worried that his feet were out of bounds but never doubted his control of the ball.
"All they needed to take was one look at it to see that," Berrian said. "I don't really know what else to say."
The Bears similarly ran out of answers when their offense returned to the field after the no-touchdown call "knocked us back," Smith said. Three straight incompletions by a rattled Hutchinson ensured the Bears' 10th loss of a tough-luck season.
"We should not have let it come down to that," Hutchinson said. "I'll take it upon my shoulders as the quarterback that we didn't play well until the fourth quarter. I'm just a little fired up right now."
For most of four quarters in the Motor City, the Bears' offense looked as high-powered as the Model T.
The running game improved as Thomas Jones enjoyed his first 100-yard game since Sept. 26 with 109 yards on 22 carries. But the passing game stretched the field as little as it did the imagination. Hutchinson completed 20 of 35 passes for just 114 yards--only 5.7 yards per completion compared with 5.0 yards per carry for Jones--in a low-risk, low-reward attack.
With former coach Dick Jauron calling defenses for the Lions, the Bears played as if John Shoop were calling plays for them again.
"We challenged the guys at halftime to come out and be the team we think we can be," Smith said.
The Bears initially played as if they were not listening.
Jones fumbled on the first series of the third quarter at the Bears' 42, and Lions safety Bracy Walker recovered. Until the fourth quarter, the Bears' best open-field run came from linebacker Lance Briggs.
Aided by safety Mike Green's blitz that forced quarterback Joey Harrington to flip the ball toward tight end Stephen Alexander with 3:49 left in the third quarter, Briggs picked off the errant pass and raced 38 yards to the end zone with the Bears' first touchdown since Dec. 5 against Minnesota. Hutchinson's two-point conversion pass failed, though.
"Then the offense woke up," Smith said.
It had been an 11-quarter nap.
On the first series of the fourth quarter, Hutchinson capped a nine-play, 90-yard drive with a 15-yard TD pass to fullback Jason McKie. Jones carried five times for 36 yards on that drive behind an offense that appeared to wear down a solid Detroit defensive front.
"It might look different, but our offense isn't that far off--a play here or there," Pro Bowl center Olin Kreutz said.
As big as the call against Berrian was, more than that one play doomed the Bears on a day on which they were officially eliminated from playoff contention.
An offside penalty against Green on fourth-and-9 at the Bears' 42 midway through the second quarter, for instance, enticed the Lions to go for it. Harrington scrambled for the first down, and three plays later Jason Hanson made the Bears pay for their carelessness with a 39-yard field goal. It was the second of his four field goals.
Hanson's third came after a lapse in concentration by the Bears' secondary at the end of the first half. On third-and-11 with 18 seconds left, receiver Reggie Swinton found a seam between cornerback Nathan Vasher and safety R.W. McQuarters, and Harrington put the ball in the perfect spot for a 28-yard completion. Hanson split the uprights from 34 yards out to make it 16-0 at halftime.
"The effort of the first half was terrible," defensive coordinator Ron Rivera said.
Indeed, the Bears gave up 248 of Detroit's 314 total yards before halftime. Briggs' interception sparked a second-half revival that continued with Green appearing to make amends for his earlier penalty by causing running back Kevin Jones to fumble on third-and-2 at the Bears' 21 early in the fourth quarter. Charles Tillman recovered.
But Detroit challenged, the call was reversed and Hanson nailed a 40-yard field goal that turned out to be more important than it seemed at the time.
Tillman just shook his head recalling that sequence--and a day on which the Bears believed they deserved better.
"Is it a respect issue?" Tillman asked about the calls going against the Bears. "We're the Bears, they're the Lions. Not to take anything away from the Lions, they did whip us. But we had the same record, so we should have the same respect they have, right?"

I think you are supposed to be sharing the path - according to popular wisdom here. I've seen this too - I don't bother complaining about it anymore, it achieves nothing and other cyclists seem to encourage this kind of behaviour by pedestrians, either through being devils advocate or deliberate trolling.
You look to be going too fast through there. I'd have been slowing by the time you went over that bump and being prepared to get off the bike and walk past them. Pretty poor form on the part of the pedestrians. It's already narrow enough there, but they've left their things on the path taking up even more room.
So I got excited by having my GoPro working and uploading to YouTube... I dont believe I was going too fast and certainly rang the bell enough, although it doesn't come out in the video. I wasn't expecting a parting of the Red Sea as I come through either. By the sheer number of peds there I expected I might have to stop, and could have done so safely.
I guess it's just one of my pet hates to see things placed in an obvious through path, the bag sticking out from the corner being the worst offender

Technorati Profile Today there are so many food choices it is sometimes difficult to navigate a trip to the grocery store, not to mention trying to find healthy food choices,especially if we have kids in tow. We hope to help you navigate through your local grocery store and give you some basic advice about shopping for healthier food options and which products our families love.
If you have not ever watched the show that was on TLC last year called, Honey, We're Killing the Kids you should look it up on www.tlc.com. The show brought a nutritionist and family counselor into the homes of many different families and showed each family what the effect of poor eating, the lack of exercise and the family's current lifestyle would do to the family's kids in 10, 20, 30, 40 years and the results were terrifying. As the kids were shown at different ages using a computer program and gathered data, the kids looked heavy and older than their ages (in many cases the kids are already having health issues at the age of 6,10,14. The Show helped the families learn to eat healthier, get rid of the junk food and unhealthy foods, get exercise and limit screen time for tv and video games.
The show is a perfect example of what is happening to most of America - we are depriving our kids of the healthy foods they need to grow and giving them foods that hurt their bodies (unhealthy foods, sugary drinks, and fast food ... most of these food have little or no health benefits and tons of adverse effects.) Often parents do not seem to realize the harm they are causing to their children now and in the future just by making poor or no food choices for their kids.
I want to provide you with some basic ideas to go from what you may currently be giving your family to eat and how you can start giving them healthier options.
1. Grocery Store Layout-
For those of you that have not heard this before, the fresh foods are found around the perimeter of the store. If you think about it you will realize this is true. The fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, fish, seafood, and dairy are found around the outside circle of most grocery stores.
Why should this matter to you?
Well, you should spend most of your time and budget on those fresh, unprocessed foods. Those are, for the most part, the healthiest food options (minus end caps with chips, soda, etc...) of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and lean meats and eggs.
What should you buy?
1. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables- You want to buy fresh fruits and vegetables your family enjoys (or that you may be able to serve with some creative meal or dip). Also, frozen fruits and vegetables are also just as healthy because they flash freeze them and retain the nutrients. For more information about Fruits and Vegetables and that frozen are just as good for you as fresh go to www.fda.gov/Fdac/features/1997/297_five.html.
I also know from experience that you can buy more fruits and veggies than your family will eat if you do not plan your meals or offer the fruit and veggies as snacks throughout the day. In that case, you may want to buy a smaller amount and return to the store if you run out of bananas or apples or spinach. Or buy frozen fruits and veggies your family enjoys because they will be available when you need them.
2. Fresh or Frozen Wild Fish
Fish is one food that is healthy and provides important Omega 3's and other benefits to us and we should include in our diets. If you are concerned that you and your family do not like fish I would recommend trying white fish fillets and go to www.cookinglight.com and type in fish to get healthy and tasty recipes to prepare the fish. My favorite fish is Salmon but not everyone likes the taste of it. You can also go to the Environmental Working Group website at http://www.ewg.org/safefishlist or click to open the EWG Fish Guide in PDF Form. for a list of the safest and most sustainable fish to buy and a list of the fish to eat in moderation or avoid.
3. Lean Meats and Eggs
Buy Skinless Chicken Breasts or a Turkey Breast or Ground Turkey. Eggs are also a very healthy option to add to your diet in moderation. If you can buy organic meat, that is best, but it is very expensive. The second best option is to buy meat that is not treated with antibiotics or growth-hormones.
One brand of eggs that is especially good is Christopher Eggs that have 600 Omega 3's per egg (which is 18 times more Omega 3's than most eggs). These eggs are sold at many groceries, even some Walmarts and Krogers. To find out more about Christopher Eggs go to www.christophereggs.com.
4. Beans, Beans, and More Beans
Beans are definitely under-rated by many of us in the US. But look at the many cultures that serve beans with all of their meals. Beans are a food powerhouse that have very high levels of protein, fiber, and other nutrients and they make a great side dish or main dish for your family (and it is a vegetarian favorite). My family loves all beans. My favorite beans that are both tasty, healthy and versatile are black beans and pinto beans, but all beans are great. There are so many ways to serve beans so your kids will eat them and love them. I usually buy organic beans
Serve vegetarian refried beans (pinto beans) with healthy baked chips or whole wheat pita wedges to go with a Mexican Inspired Meal or Serve black beans on a Salad with corn and salsa and other fixings. Another favorite is a quick, three bean soup. I found this recipe in a magazine, years ago, either Parents or Parenting but I cannot find the recipe online anywhere and the page I have ripped out only has advertisements all around and no date or publication name. So here is a link to the Three Bean Soup Your Kids Will Love. 5. Healthy Grains - Multi grain, Whole Grain Rice or Quinoa
Buy whole grain or multi grain, not instant rice. It does take longer to cook but it has a great deal more nutrients you will not get from white rice or instant rice or rice with flavorings added for you. Or a very good option is Quinoa- it cooks very quickly and is one of the healthiest foods you can make and it pairs well with lots of things. 6. Healthy Snacks, Cereals and Foods Found in the Inside Aisles
I recommend buying healthy snacks and cereals that do not add additional ingredients you do not want such as: partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweetners, or MSG (there is a current debate about whether MSG and other products with gluatamate in them are safe. The FDA has not published any evidence that has shown adverse or long-term health risks because of MSG, but I have read too many articles that, at the least, say some people do experience temporary problems when they eat foods with MSG and I have read other articles that say it does have longer term health consequences- I prefer to buy products that list the foods in them and do not add MSG or natural flavorings or other ingredients I do not know what it is. I would rather be cautious and give my family foods that are as pure as I can get them, rather than eat very processed foods. This is, of course, a choice, but I do believe the more you limit processed snacks, the healthier your kids and family will be. What to Avoid
Avoid Sodas (whether regular or diet soda) this is not something your kids should be drinking no matter how old they are. Avoid Sugary Drinks- drink mixes, lemonade mixes, boxed drinks that have sugar, and most of the other drinks that are marketed to kids- they are the equivalent of giving your kids a handful or spoonfuls of sugar. There is no benefit to serving these drinks- they are loaded with hidden calories and sugar. Do Not Buy These Drinks. Chips- Avoid Fried chips with high fat and opt for Baked Natural Chips for an ocassional treat or at a Party. Hot Dogs, Lunch Meats, Processed Meats (that contain Sodium Nitrate and other Sodium Phosphate products-most nutritional advisory groups say that pregnant women and young children should not eat these processed meats. The exception is hotdogs that are made without any artificial ingredients or the sodium phosphates. There are several brands available that do not have nitrates in them (vegetarian hotdogs and organic or natural deli meats-but make sure to check the amount of fat as well) but they can be hard to find. For an article that discusses the reasons for avoiding Hot Dogs and Other Processed Meats with Sodium Nitrate and other similar ingredients click here.
You can also check the CDC website for information about Pregnant Women, or people with a weakened immune system should avoid these foods, as it increases their risk for getting Listeriosis (a bacteria). My opinion is if it is not safe for kids and pregnant women, it is probably not great for anyone. Foods to Limit 100% Pure Fruit Juice is ok- if given in small quantities (4-6 oz a day total)
Promotional Message
The USDA recommends we eat 7 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Most people don't come anywhere close. Clinically proven Juice Plus+® helps you bridge the gap between what you should eat and what you do eat, every day.

- Match-fixing
Match-fixing the new drugs for criminals
German prosecutors have said criminals are turning from drugs to match-fixing as they view it as a low-risk means of making money.
Europol, the European Union's law enforcement agency, has uncovered allegations of match-fixing in around 380 games across the continent between 2008 and 2011.
Germany has been at the centre of two match-fixing scandals over the past decade. Operating out of Berlin bar Café King, an organisation reportedly led by Croatian national Ante Sapina had been involved in a match-fixing scandal with German referees. Sapina was given a prison sentence in 2005, but upon his release had turned towards the Asian betting market, utilising a London-based bookmaker.
Sapina, along with Marijo C, was then convicted of fraud by a Bochum court and sentenced to a further five-and-a-half years in prison having confessed to manipulating more than 20 football matches, including a 2010 World Cup qualifier between Liechtenstein and Finland and a Champions League qualifier between Hungarian side Debrecen and Italian club Fiorentina.
In December 2012, the Federal Court of Justice of Germany had ordered a retrial for the case as both defence and prosecution had issues with the original hearing.
The prosecutors, preparing for the retrial, had provided a starting point for the Europol investigations, and Bochum superintendent Friedhelm Althans, head of the "Flankengott" ["God of the crosses"] commission, has warned that criminals have come to view match-fixing as an attractive means of raising cash.
"The problem is getting bigger," Althans said. "More people with criminal tendencies have come to realise that you can earn a lot of money with a lower risk. Some have turned from drugs to match-fixing."
He urged all involved in investigating match-fixing to view the practice as "organised crime". Chief prosecutor Norbert Salomon has stressed that there are no new games under investigation in Germany.

- Stereo and multi-channel systems
- Getting surrounded by sound
- Surround formats and compatibility
- 2-way and 3-way systems
- Centre speakers and satellites
- What about wireless systems?
- The little things
In this guide we take a broad look at buying speakers for the home. If you are building a home theatre system or a high-powered gaming rig, you'll most likely be looking at a surround sound system that's either 5.1 or 6.1. If it's music you're planning for, a stereo or 2.1 system is probably on the agenda. In any case, this guide will walk you through all the various formats and help you choose the right system for your needs.
Active or "powered" systems are those that come with an integrated amplifier. These are generally targeted at gaming and home theatre systems based around a computer, as they do not require an A/V receiver to drive them. Basic computer speaker systems are often 2.1, meaning they have two "satellite" speakers and one subwoofer. The sub-woofer is powered by an internal amplifier and the satellite speakers are also driven by an amplifier residing within the sub-woofer cabinet. Because these systems are powered, any line-level audio player can be plugged directly into them - be it a computer, CD player, DVD player, MP3 player or cassette deck.
On the other hand, passive or "un-powered" speaker systems are those that do not include a built-in amplifier. These are usually designed for home theatre use with a multichannel AV receiver. This is sometimes confusing as all systems that have a subwoofer incorporate an integrated bass amplifier. In other words, the subwoofer is always active, but in an un-powered system the satellite speakers are passive and require an amplifier to drive them.Subwoofers
Most powered systems use a small subwoofer cone ranging between 4 and 8 inches in diameter, whereas home theatre systems will usually range between 8 and 12 inches. The subwoofer's power output is measured in Watts (RMS), with 35 - 50 being standard for powered systems and 100 - 150 appearing in home theatre systems. Things to look for in a good subwoofer are solid wooden housing and a side or front air port. Those that have the port at the back usually need to be positioned away from a wall which can limit their placement in a room. Some other features to look for are a sizable external heat sink, which will keep the thing from overheating, and a sleep mode. This will automatically switch the subwoofer off when no signal has been detected for a certain amount of time.Decoders and digital audio
For most non-powered systems, you will need a digital decoder to play 5.1 and 6.1 soundtracks. Some DVD players have built in decoding, as do most multichannel AV receivers. Some powered systems also come complete with a digital decoder built in. This means they can take a digital signal from a DVD player or PC and convert it into surround sound for multiple speakers. The benefit of having an integrated decoder is that you won't need to buy or connect an external one. This means fewer power supplies, minimal cabling and one less remote control. Check your DVD player and/or PC to see whether it has digital outputs and/or a decoder built in. If it has multiple analog audio outputs, you will be able to connect them directly to the amplifier without the need for a separate decoder.Stereo and multi-channel systems
So far we have talked about 2.1 and 5.1 systems or, in other words, systems that have 2 or 5 speakers and a subwoofer. The word stereo means two channels, left and right, whereas multi-channel audio in home theatre systems usually refers to either 5.1 or 6.1 configurations. In 5.1 systems you have three speakers at the front - left, centre and right - plus two speakers to the sides or back. The subwoofer can be located anywhere in the room, as sub-bass is non-directional. A 6.1 system will have an additional speaker located behind the viewer, sometimes called the rear centre speaker. There are also 7.1 systems available, but it is worth remembering that there are no DVDs recorded in 7.1 (as of June 2005). Instead, 7.1 systems such as THX Ultra2 and Dolby Prologic IIx convert 5.1 and 6.1 formats into 7.1 for use with two rear centre speakers. Although there is some merit to the claim that a 6.1 soundtrack will always sound better with a 7.1 system, the real benefit will probably be enjoyed by gamers who have titles that actually support this many channels.
