Fergie covers Self magazine July 2012 looking great as always. In the accompanying interview, the 37-year-old singer reveals her tricks to sexy abs and secrets to a balanced life. Check out these highlights from her cover story!
Fergie is Self's July
2012 cover girl looking as fab as always. Inside, the 37-year-old
singer reveals her tricks to sexy abs and secrets to a balanced
"I needed to take a break from performing, and from the Peas, to be happy. I craved female time, and time with my husband to feed my soul. My life now is about being balanced. I'm passionate about work and working out, seeing friends and family, and letting my hair down once in a while," Fergie confesses.
Famous for her stunning figure, Fergie also dishes on her fitness routine. "I work out four times a week — five or six if I'm being psycho, twice if I'm being lazy. My trainer, Don 'DB' Brooks, knows how to keep me from getting bored," she says.
The singer admits that when working out with the guys she used to shout and curse. "Working out with Josh inspires me, but he is competitive. And loud! So are the Peas. Men scream and go crazy in the gym. I'm a silent workout partner, but when my adrenaline gets up, I talk trash. I'll wait, and when Josh does something embarrassing, I'll throw a jab! I used to yell and curse in the gym, but now I'm looking for a more healthy, positive feeling," Fergie explains.
Speaking about her secret to a happy life, Fergie says she
learned to accept herself. "I've learned to be more accepting of
myself. I'm 37, not 18, and I've got the lines to prove it. I try
to remind myself that a girl can have it all, just not all at
once," she told Self.
On her secret energy source, the singer says that, "Josh turned me on to juicing, and now I do it when I wake up and between meals. The energy it gives me is amazing — I hardly need caffeine anymore. We blend kale, spinach, broccoli and celery with a banana, an apple and a pear. We have two Vitamixes going at once! But I'm only really strict about what I eat when I know I have to be in a bathing suit."
Fergie and Josh Duhamel met and began dating in September 2004 and got married in a Catholic ceremony on January 10, 2009. Now, she admits that, "I'm excited to have a child with Josh. He'll be an amazing dad."
On keeping her faith, Fergie confesses that, "On Saturday nights, we like going to mass, then dinner. It feeds our spiritual side, and it's great to hear Josh sing in church — he's a great singer. Then we go out and have a really nice wine, like all good Catholics."
The singer tells the magazine that in order to fulfill your dreams it's important to visualize them first. "My hypnotherapist gave me a book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, that changed my life. It taught me not to say, 'I think I want this,' but 'I'm going to do this.' See your goal, visualize it in detail, and make it come true. I visualized getting a Grammy, and I did, which is insane," she explains.

Our Story
I began my career in 1982, working mostly with middle management executives to manage their wealth but then in 2000, a tragic event in my wife's family changed the focus of my practice to retirement and estate planning. My wife's grandmother was a frugal but loving woman who worked hard to provide for her three daughters. She owned a knitting store for over 50 years and had built an estate worth nearly half a million dollars. After her death in 2000, the family learned that the estate was nearly bankrupt and all that remained were several small pieces of jewelry which were fought over by the sisters. "How could this happen", I said to myself; "Where did all the money go?" The answer - in 1994 my wife's grandmother broke her hip and after a successful hip replacement surgery, went into a rehab/ nursing home for 45 days of post-operative care. She had one daughter living with her at the time who decided to keep her mother in the nursing home for 6 years at a cost of nearly $400,000! I was shocked and saddened no one had consulted with professionals to look at alternatives to nursing homes and implement strategies to protect the estate of a woman who worked so hard to build her legacy. This stirred a passion in me to help other families and people near retirement age to protect the wealth they have worked so hard to accumulate.

I admit to being pretty depressed after seeing the Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now, I don't get to say that I am a "huge fan" of Spider-Man because I don't collect comics. #1 the cost, #2 the neverending soap opera-esque storylines with characters being killed off and brought back all the time, and #3 I wasn't born in the 60s.
I mean, by the time I was born, Gwen Stacy had already become backstory like Uncle Ben, except she was the ugly backstory you never hear about in the light of day. She didn't have a great catchphrase "With great power, comes great responsibility," she only had guilt and shame and depression.
But well, I do love Spidey.
And I did love the Amazing Spider-Man the first. I don't really know why people don't particularly care for Andrew Garfield, although one I keep hearing is that he is too attractive to be Peter Parker. He was socially awkward and he definitely had the stammer thing going in the first one, and becoming Spider-Man actually caused him to put ON glasses, instead of take them off (I keep trying to tell everyone that glasses are cool).
But the Amazing Spider-Man 2. Ugh.
There was so much potential, so much amazing, and there's a lot to like about this movie if you saw it chopped up into its itsy-bitsy pieces.
It was so disparate and dichotomous and discordant. Most of the individual pieces were GREAT, but suffered from either too little screen time or not enough screen time. And nothing felt like it fit together. So rushed and railroaded to the what-should-have-been ending.
And the rubbish trailers and commercials, all of them, which gave away the ending everyone knew was coming.
Well, at least to anyone that knows the story.
But whatever. So, back to the present with the Amazing Spider-Man 2. The Amazing Spider-Man the First made me so happy. I was so thrilled to see Spidey in action with an actor that (I feel at least) does him and Peter Parker justice. Gwen was amazing with another great actor with great chemistry between her and Peter if nothing else. I was surprised at the omission of the Lizard's family and his working at Oscorp, but I can understand changes and accept them.
It was...it IS fantastic. I've seen it at least half a dozen times. I really don't understand people that didn't like it and I have no idea what people are smoking that think TASM2 is better than TASM the first.
Here finally was the dream I've had since a child watching the steadily devolving Spider-Man the Animated Series on TV. A larger-than-life, heroic, representation of the character I angsted with before I had ever heard the word angst. The character I mourned with, that I grew up with, the character that I love more than any other hero in fiction.
...and they dropped the ball.
They dropped the ball so fucking hard.
They dropped the ball with arms outstretched running to the endzone from ten yards out to have it recovered by the enemy and not carried to the opposing endzone, to have sex with that ball in the middle of the field for all to watch like your one-true love's new boyfriend screwing her in front of you on the 50 yard line in a football stadium and then disrespecting her BUT SHE LIKES IT.
It hurt.
I was in shock for hours after. What just happened? Did I really watch that? Why didn't they end it when they should have ended it? Why did they do that? Why? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? Do I have to lose you too? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
And I locked myself away with YouTube to see if anyone could make sense of the trainwreck of my childhood dreams burning away on the screen.
And cries of Sony mismanaging, forcing the hand of not just Mark Webb, but also the motivator behind Sam Raimi's descent into madness with Spider-Man 3 of the Maguire era! Sinister Six and Venom movies already announced! The Amazing Spider-Man 2 more of a Sony presentation to stockholders about what the future of their movie studio looks like for the next 5 years. Mismanagement was the first word to come to mind when I walked out of the theater and apparently is the word of the entire future of this character.
Because really, there are three Spider related sequels on the way already. TASM-3, Sinister Six, and Venom. THREE. Three Spider-Man movies that will take at least three years to realize, and, IF they fail, which I'm not sure they will in the strictest sense of "Sony will want to stop making Spider-Man movies after those disasters," then another 5 years before their contract reverts to Disney and then how long until Joss Whedon can finally make the Spider-Man we deserve? Will he even still be alive? Will I be alive to enjoy it? Is there any worthwhile Spider-Man fanfiction out there that isn't just shipping and more of the soap opera bullshit that I dread from the comics???
And then there was the Spectacular Spider-Man.
I'd seen a few episodes here and there over the course of the last few years, and I always enjoyed it, but I'll admit to not being able to keep the different animated webhead series in place with how many there seemed to be lately. Some of them were decidedly not entertaining, some of them on the other hand, were.
YouTube turned me on to the Spectacular Spider-Man yet again, one reviewer ("Sam's Review" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJfb6DvPxz8) had a ridiculous number of great things to say about Spectacular Spider-Man and the twisted downward spiral of a web I found myself caught in latched onto Spectacular Spider-Man as possible salvation.
I knew going into it that the series was already killed and there were unresolved aspects to it, but I dismissed those and actually went out and bought the complete series of the Spectacular Spider-Man.
I didn't watch it all in one go (because I have a real life and a job), but I did devour it in a couple of days.
It started good and it got way better. There were a couple parts that generated sincere emotional responses from my synapses, whether from Spidey being heroic or getting the crap beat out of him physically and emotionally and the end just left me wanting more and more.
It was therapeutic to get to experience Spider-Man in a way that was not just palatable, but in a way that the character deserves. It was extremely unfinished though. There's a lot more in front of the character that we will never get to explore.
Oh, and the reason why is because although Sony kept the movie rights, they lost the TV rights. So Disney screwed up the animated series with the Ultimate Spider-Man and Sony screwed up the movie series with The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
It's still worth it though.

Most people will not openly discuss hemorrhoids. There are quite a few people who have taken the time to get the information that they need to properly treat or prevent hemorrhoids. The advice in the following article will provide advice on how to deal with and treat hemorrhoids.
Rutin can help resolve hemorrhoid problems. Weakened, thin blood vessels are generally linked with hemorrhoids. Rutin, a flavonoid that aids in Vitamin C absorption, can assist in strengthening the blood vessels. It is normally found in citrus foods and vegetables like broccoli and onions. If taken as a dietary supplement, 500mg per day is a good dosage.
Ice Pack
You can find a lot of remedies in your home. Something as simple as an ice pack from your freezer can provide you with ample relief. A cold compress like an ice pack will dissipate swelling and help to get rid of the lingering pain. Ice packs are great for reducing the swelling that the hemorrhoids cause.
Utilize ice to alleviate hemorrhoid pain. Hemorrhoids usually involve a lot of discomfort and pain. An ice pack applied to the area can decrease pain and reduce swelling. Use a warm compress after using an ice pack. To be as comfortable as you possibly can, you should alternate ice packs on the hemorrhoids, sit in warm water in the bathtub and allow the swelling and pain to reduce.
If you are afflicted with hemorrhoids, put a dash of lemon juice in your water. Lemon offers soothing properties and can lessen any irritation caused by hemorrhoids. Lemon water can improve how you feel.
It is good to eat whole wheat bread to help digestion and help your hemorrhoids. This will also reduce skin irritation. When making your sandwiches, choose wheat bread and bypass white versions.
Knowing about hemorrhoids can be helpful. Although this is not the most pleasant topic, a little information goes a long way in finding relief. At the most basic level, hemorrhoids are the result of strain or pressure in the rectal area that causes the veins to become painful and swollen.
The main cause of hemorrhoids is overexertion of certain muscles in the anus. Since this is the case, if you suffer from this problem, you should take notice of the pressure you put on this area when moving your bowels and during other activities.
Before spending money on expensive medications and treatments for your hemorrhoids, try some natural home remedies. Following bowel movements, try soaking in a lukewarm sitz bath for several minutes. Even though hemorrhoids can be really itchy at times, you should not scratch them, this could aggravate the problem. Soothe them with a homeopathic application of witch hazel instead. Plenty of water and a diet high in fiber is a good way to prevent hemorrhoids. This will keep you from straining too hard while having a bowel movement.
Keep your stool soft by drinking plenty of water each day and eat a diet that full of high fiber foods. Getting your stool softer is the best way to relieve your hemorrhoid woes. To get softer stool, try eating fruits such as papaya, watermelon, or grapes. Vegetables with high fiber content, like cabbage, also help keep the stools soft. You want to stay hydrated as well, so make sure you drink a lot of water throughout your day.
A pre-bathroom walk can help deal with constipation. Walking gets you moving and helps you go to the bathroom. This is a good way to reduce the strain you put on your hemorrhoids. Walk briskly for at least ten minutes.
Although you probably won't use the information here in a normal conversation, it can help when you are dealing with hemorrhoids. Applying these tips and going to your doctor for advice is the best thing you can do.

Survey Says
An ACR Task Force investigates radiology's role in medical education.
The ACR Task Force on Medical Student Education in Radiology, in partnership with the Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology, surveyed academic radiology department chairs and medical school deans in late 2012 to understand how medical imaging is currently taught and how physician education can adapt going forward.
Who Should Teach Imaging?
What Obstacles Exist to Implementing These Changes?
How Can the ACR and the Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology Help?
How is Radiology Usually Taught in Medical School?
What Should Change in the Next Ten Years?
What Does All of This Mean?
Christopher M. Straus, MD, associate professor of radiology and director of medical student education at the University of Chicago and a member of the ACR task force, says this survey highlights the surprising disparity between academic radiology chairs and medical school deans on such issues as who should teach imaging. He believes the task force summary demonstrates the "need to promote greater involvement through minimizing the effort required. This can be achieved through the deployment of a nationally available curriculum that each program can adopt and integrate in parts or in its entirety to best fit its specific needs." Straus says, "We need to increase the availability and involvement of radiologists in the education of our future referring physicians."

You might not immediately recognize the name Bill Fay, so lets fix that. The British songwriter released a pair of lost classics a self-titled debut and Time of the Last Persecution in the early 1970s, then maintained a low profile for more than 30 years. Life is People represents his first studio recording since 1982. That the likes of Wilco, Current 93 and Okkervil River have covered Fays songs should give you an idea of what to expect: songs rooted in tradition, yet slightly askew. Here, hes getting a kind of heros welcome: a lovingly prepared and packaged album with prominent guests and heartfelt liner notes.
As one might expect from a folk-influenced British songwriter of his generation, theres no shortage of pastoral imagery here. Fay sings, Trees dont speak but they speak to each other / Of a people long ago, on opener There Is a Valley, and one of the later songs on the album is titled Cosmic Concerto (Life is People). That mysticism is shot through with a considerable amount of religious devotion, however: There Is a Valley proceeds toward a distinctly Christian conclusion, and the title of Thank You Lord gives a pretty good indication of its lyrical subject matter. The presence of both the flora and the faithful leads to an album more idiosyncratic than jarring, a peculiar fusion of two worldviews.
Life is Peoples widescreen tendencies are offset by Fays distinctively weathered voice. On a song like Healing Day, that quality is magnified: Fays plea for help comes off as genuine rather than clichéd. Fay devotee Jeff Tweedy pops up to lend vocals to This World, and Fay returns the favor with a subdued cover of Wilcos Jesus, Etc. later on the album. Here, too, the sentiment is hard-fought: a conversation with God rather than something more personal.
The songs heard here do occasionally push lyrical metaphors too far. City of Dreams returns to a refrain of Street sweeper, in your city of dreams, and while theres some atmospheric guitar work on display, the metaphor feels overdone. And the previously mentioned Cosmic Concerto similarly pushes the titular image.
In the end, though, Life is People succeeds. Theres a vitality to Fays voice and an energy to these musicians performances that lends these songs power. From the piano that ushers us into the album to the occasional strings or choral vocals that expand the scope, Life is People sounds familiar, but never tired. Its a difficult line to tread, but Fay and his guests largely pull it off.

Practicing Resurrection - Fr. Hamer
Monday, April 1, 2013
Trinity Episcopal Church
Easter Sunday 2013
John 20: 1-18
Call: God is good!
Response: All the time!
Call: All the time.
Response: God is good!
Welcome to you on this Easter Sunday morning – the day of Resurrection. And isn't this one of those wonderful, beautiful spring mornings when you can just sense and smell and almost touch the feeling of spring in the air. Bulbs are starting to pop through the ground, the snowdrops have been out for a couple of weeks. It feels like new life is all around us just ready to burst forth – reasserting the power of life after the cold and dreary winter we have endured. And this beautiful spring weather feels all the more beautiful and welcome in part because it is such a change from the winter.
Now imagine taking that almost euphoric feeling and placing it in your soul – as Pastor George Chien shared with us last night the words of the poet Lucille Clifton:
The green of Jesus
is breaking the ground
and the sweet smell of delicious Jesus
is opening the house and
the dance of Jesus music
has hold of the air and
the world is turning
in the body of Jesus and
the future is possible
That must be a little bit like what Mary felt as she stood weeping by the tomb then first recognized Jesus on that first Easter morning. For three days she and Jesus' disciples had endured first the arrest, then the torture and finally the execution of their dear friend and teacher, Jesus. Even though Jesus had described the type of death he would undergo and assured them he would return, those words were just a blur now, lost in the tumultuous events that followed. So distraught was she that she didn't even recognize Jesus when he first spoke to her by the tomb – she thought he was the gardener. It was only when he called her by name that she recognized him and her spirit soared. She then ran to tell the other disciples, who had already returned to their homes, convinced that it was all over. . . But it was only the beginning.
This is what Easter is supposed to feel like – a celebration of new life, new beginnings, new possibilities in life that could only be imagined before. But just as spring is somewhat sweeter because it follows winter, so resurrection can only be fully appreciated if we understand it as lowering the curtain on a former way of life and simultaneously raising the curtain as another life begins. It has been said accurately that there can be no Easter without Good Friday. Similarly, in order for us to embrace Resurrection life, we must understand that it I rooted in the events of Holy Week.
And so I want to suggest that as we consider what it means to Practice Resurrection, not just today but making the practice of Resurrection a regular part of our lives going forward – really making a difference in the way we live and relate to God and the world. I want to suggest that there are three steps of which we need to be mindful, and they parallel the steps we have taken through Lent, into Holy Week and now into Eastertide. These steps are Removal, Replanting and Receiving.
First, removal. The obvious here is that Jesus had to die before he could be resurrected. He had to be removed from this life in order to defeat the power of death. But do you notice this is a similar theme through God's salvation history? Abraham was called away from his family, his social and financial security, to a place he knew nothing of. He had to do that in order to create a great nation. Now half of the world – all Christians, Muslims and Jews looks to him as their spiritual father. Jacob fled his family with nothing but his clothes with no assurance of ever returning and his only possession was his father's blessing. Jacob's son Joseph was kidnapped and sold away from his own family and sent to an alien, hostile Egypt, where, in furtherance of God's mission and with God's grace, he became the savior of the known world. Yet another example is the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt – the only story from the Hebrew Bible that is required to be a part of the Easter Vigil lessons.
There they were – trapped between the Egyptian army and the Red Sea, and they are screaming at Moses, "Were there no graves in Egypt that you brought us out here to die? We could have stayed slaves in Egypt, where at least we were fed and housed." But God had a better plan for them – and God opened the Red Sea before them and led them into their future. This experience of removal is frequently a way God chooses to work.
Jesus' work in the world on God's behalf was completed. It was time for the next chapter.
In our own practice of Resurrection, we, too, have to begin with looking at the life we are living and countenance those aspects of our lives that are inadequate to supporting Resurrection Life. Supposedly this was work we have been doing throughout Lent – weeding out that which is not useful in order to make room for that which is useful. Just like cleaning out our homes, we know this is a job that is never really done. So if you didn't get to complete it to your satisfaction before today, or even if you never started, that's okay. It's never too late to begin. The point here is that we want to free ourselves from being hostage to old ways that keep us prisoners in order that we can be free to embrace the new thing that God wants to do in our lives.
The second aspect of Practicing Resurrection is to be open to being replanted in a better place. For Jesus, this transplantation was literal – he literally ceased his earthly life and was rejoined with God in heaven.
Again, look at the stories from the Hebrew Bible, the stories of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and the Israelites, and we see that it is part of God's pattern to nudge God's children from a lesser way of life to a fuller, more purposeful and productive way of being. In all four cases, people were uprooted and sent off to unknown places, and in each case, God's mission was advanced through these human instruments in ways none of them ever could have imagined.
And this was true for the disciples as well. At first, all they could experience was the apparent reality of Jesus' death. On the other hand, Jesus' departure allowed the disciples to become closer to God, to become the apostles that Jesus' intended for them to be. Instead of following Jesus around, the Lord would before long send his Holy Spirit who would guide them along new pathways leading to new horizons. That is far more pervasive than what Jesus could do by himself in a mortal body. Now they would hear from the Lord in ways that transcend language. Instead of hanging around Jerusalem and Galilee, they would begin to spread out over what was the known world, spreading the Good News to places where Jesus never ventured.
Another good example of removal and replanting in the New Testament is St. Paul – he was struck blind for a period of time in order that he might leave his former life of being a persecutor of the Gospel to becoming its most prolific writer and champion.
And so it is a necessary part of our own practice of Resurrection to be willing to go to places – either literally or figuratively – that may be unfamiliar or even unknown.
And this leads us to the third aspect of practicing Resurrection, and that is being open to receiving strength and power from God. More than being open to it, we have to trust that God will fulfill God's promises. What is it that we receive? Well Jesus promised the disciples back in chapters 16 to 18 in the Gospel of John that they were to wait for the sending of the Holy Spirit, who would give them the wisdom, the power, the courage and the perseverance to continue Jesus work following his ascension. Throughout Lent and this past Holy Week, we have heard time and again of how God has led God's people from places of slavery, misery and emptiness into new, unexpected and previously unimaginable place of freedom, purpose and glory. Over the coming weeks of the Easter season we will hear and experience other stories of how the resurrected Christ entered into the lives of his followers. The message of this morning is that the promise is renewed once again, there for us if we will only see it, believe in it and claim it.
All of us here today are beginning our celebration of the Resurrection in the right way -- we are here in a faithful, worshipping community, the gathered Body of Christ in the 21st Century, contributing our own witness to the truth of the Christian promise. But we sell that promise short if we understand this day of Easter as the culmination of the story and not the opening scene of a new story – in the words of St. Paul, the invitation, once again, to allow God in to do a new thing in our lives, and through us, to bring the world even just a little closer to the Kingdom of God. Amen.
Please pray with me: Lord, as Easter dawns, help me to welcome the morning with a fervent hope and to savor the joy of the risen Lord. Give me holy boldness and apostolic zeal to embrace my mission as Your disciple, as I join You in making all things new. Alleluia.

Happy Friday, Ferrvor Man! Back at home in Los Angeles, we were blessed with a little gloom and rain. And as California is well-known for, the sunshine has come around yet again, and that's always a treat especially when you've had a busy week. Here's what we rounded up around the web this week.
Story By: carLA FRANCISCO

AMHERST, Mass. - Shaw's Supermarkets, which operates 25 stores in Massachusetts, has become a participant in the Partners with Nature program, a state certification program that recognizes growers who use integrated pest management (IPM) techniques to cultivate their crops.
IPM is a method of farming which reduces pesticide use by making crops less inviting to pests, by encouraging natural predators and parasites, and by carefully monitoring pest populations so that crops are sprayed only when pests are present in damaging numbers.
Partners with Nature, the first IPM certification program in the country, is a joint program between UMass Extension, the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency. Crops grown according to specific IPM standards are certified by the state as "IPM-grown" and qualified growers may use the Partners with Nature logo in marketing their produce.
This year, 44 farms across the state are participating in the Partners with Nature program, which includes eight crops: strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, potatoes, cole crops (such as broccoli and cauliflower), peppers, pumpkins, and winter squash.
"We commend Shaw's for featuring Partners with Nature produce this season," says Jonathan Healy, Massachusetts commissioner of food and agriculture. "They recognize both consumer demand for environmentally friendly products as well as the efforts of Partners with Nature farmers to produce high-quality products while protecting our environment."
Shaw's will display the Partners with Nature logo for produce supplied by participating growers. Informational brochures provided by UMass Extension will also be available.
UMass has pioneered new methods of replacing pesticides with less expensive and more environmentally sound alternatives since 1978. As a result, Massachusetts growers have reduced their use of pesticides by 25 to 75 percent.
Shaw's Supermarkets, founded in 1860, currently operates 121 stores at locations throughout New England and is a wholly owned subsidiary of J Sainsbury's of London, England.

The explosion of digital and social media in recent years has evolved the way brands are seen, tasted, touched and felt. A contemporary brand identity must reach beyond its visual manifestation in print or TV, to encompass how the brand speaks across a multitude of technology platforms, how it interacts with its audience and how people experience it at an emotional level. Therefore, brands should nowadays give themselves permission to be more surprising, playful and adaptive; to flirt with their customers, listen to what they have to say and cater to their desires.
We have always seen brands as people with fascinating personalities. But in order to see a personality behind a brand, we need to build relationships around it. Therefore, branding is no longer a one-way street. Allowing flexibility to our designs gives us the power to further evolve the brand's interaction with consumers. By adding an organic feel and a human scale, we manage to design attraction. After all, a brand that conveys a clear personality impassions those users who will be your most powerful marketing channel.

Magazine article Black Issues in Higher Education
Supreme Court Refuses to Hear KKK Campus Radio Case
Article excerpt
A second former player has filed a federal lawsuit claiming racism by the University of South Florida women's basketball coach.
Avia Lee, 23, claims in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court last month that she was dismissed as retaliation after making complaints to university officials about the alleged discrimination.
The suit names coach Jerry Ann Winters and the university as defendants.
Winters, the team's coach for four seasons, dismissed Lee from the team after the 1998-99 season for a "bad attitude," according to the suit.
Lee claims Winters treated White and Black players with a double standard. The suit alleges Lee was kicked out of practice for "talking back" to Winters, while on another day the coach apologized to a White player who yelled at her.
The allegations come a month after a similar lawsuit was filed by former player Dione Smith, a starter for three seasons whom Winters dismissed from the team in April. Smith alleged Winters often used a racial slur in referring to Blacks, segregated the players on road trips, treated Black players more harshly and separated the players by skin color during practice (see Black Issues, Sept. 14).
"Something needs to be done. There is a problem. I don't understand why people can't see it," Lee says. "We've been discriminated against because of our skin color, and it's not right."
Athletic director Paul Griffin says Lee was dismissed from the team because she was academically ineligible to attend the university, a Division I school. …

"It is a miracle that nobody died."
That was the response from transportation expert, Joseph Schwieterman, following the crash of the Chicago commuter train which ploughed into an escalator at one of the world's busiest airports.
Thirty people were injured when the train derailed at the city's O'Hare Airport at 3am on Monday.
Schwieterman from DePaul University said: "A train running up a (crowded) escalator could have been a worst-case scenario. When pedestrians are hit by a train, it is usually fatal."
He also pointed out the derailment slowed down the train's momentum, reducing the accident's severity. "Had the train stopped more abruptly, people would have been more violently slammed into the train's seats and walls," he added.
The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308, the union representing the train operator, said the driver may have fallen asleep at the controls and accidentally moved the hand switch, making the train accelerate up the escalator.
Robert Kelly, the union's president, said: "I know she works a lot - as a lot of our members do. They gotta earn a living. ... She was extremely tired."
When asked whether she may have nodded off, Kelly responded: "The indication is there. Yes."
The National Transportation Safety Board now plan to speak to the operator, and examine the train's brakes, track signals and other potential safety issues.
Investigators will also be reviewing video footage from a camera in O'Hare train station and another mounted in front of the train.
In December a train derailment killed four people in New York. It was alleged that the operator may have lost concentration at the controls but a later report put the accident down to excessive speed.

In 2016, the City of Tacoma's Office of Arts & Cultural Vitality worked with Americans for the Arts, the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education, in conducting a national study of the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry. The study, Arts & Economic Prosperity 5, involved the collection and analysis of organization and audience surveys. In the City of Tacoma, 66 of the 118 eligible nonprofit arts and cultural organizations participated in this study. In addition, a total of 1,124 valid audience-intercept surveys were collected from attendees to nonprofit arts and cultural performances, events, and exhibitions during 2016.
On June 17, Americans for the Arts officially released the national and local findings of the Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 study and the findings are overwhelmingly positive. The study shows that Tacoma's non-profit arts and culture industry generates $137.2 million in total economic activity every year! This spending—$74.6 million by nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and an additional $62.6 million in event-related spending by their audiences (not including cost of event admission)—supports 3,656 full-time equivalent jobs, generates $86 million in household income to local residents, and delivers $14 million in local and state government revenue. This economic impact study sends a strong signal that when we support the arts, we not only enhance our quality of life, but we also invest in the City of Tacoma's economic well-being.
"Arts and culture are embedded in Tacoma's identity and have elevated us on an international stage," said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. "We are encouraged by these results, and will continue to leverage these strengths to make Tacoma an even more attractive, prosperous and vibrant destination city."
"Tacoma's nonprofit arts and cultural organizations are integral to our commercial ecosystem," said Arts Administrator Amy McBride. "They directly support a wide array of occupations spanning many industries."
Nationally, the nonprofit arts industry generates $166.3 billion of economic activity — $63.8 billion in spending by arts and cultural organizations and an additional $102.5 billion in event-related expenditures by their audiences. This activity supports 4.6 million jobs and generates $27.5 billion in revenue to local, state and federal governments.
"This study demonstrates that the arts are an economic and employment powerhouse both locally and across the nation," said Robert L. Lynch, president and chief executive officer of Americans for the Arts. "A vibrant arts and culture industry helps local businesses thrive and local communities become stronger and healthier places to live. Leaders who care about community and economic vitality can feel good about choosing to invest in the arts. Nationally as well as locally, the arts mean business."
The City of Tacoma's Office of Arts & Cultural Vitality is very pleased to present the full study findings to you; we hope that you will find this data to be useful in your own advocacy work. All information can be found at www.cityoftacoma.org/aep or you can access the findings by following the links below.

Harbor seals inhabit the costal regions of the North Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and the Arctic regions. They can dive to 1450 feet and stay submerged for 25 minutes. The harbor seal weighs around 180 pounds and are six feet in length. Pups weigh about 24 pounds at birth. Harbor seal pups appear skinny when born and make sounds like they are crying.
Harbor seals inhabit areas that are also frequented by humans and are easily disturbed. When disturbed the mothers sometimes abandon their pups. Do not try to approach them, the mothers will be back soon to take care of them.
Interesting Facts:
- You can see harbor seals on the North, East, and West coasts of North America!
- Some harbor seals live, year round, in a few inland lakes and rivers in Canada!

How do harbor seals have their young?
The mother harbor seal will give birth to one pup
. The pups are able to swim within a hour after birth, without this ability many would drown as the tide comes in. The mother is very attentive to its pup
. They are weaned in about four to six weeks. After weaning, pups spend an increased amount of time in the water and haul out only infrequently, the pups will leave the birthing area and explore new locations.

Last Saturdays game against Brentford was arguably the biggest Rotherham United have faced this season and they could not afford to fall to their third consecutive defeat, which may have left them cut adrift in the bottom three.
Brentford on the other hand, were looking to kick on from their 3-0 victory over Wolves in midweek, which put to an end a run of 4 games without a win.
In the end though, the Millers picked up all three points, closing the gap between them and their nearest rivals, Mk Dons, to just 3 points.
Rotherham were the better side overall and their work in the first half paid off when they took the lead on the 29th minute through Matt Derbyshire.
Leon Best applied pressure to the young centre back, Jack O'Connell, which allowed the striker to lay the ball off to the advancing Lee Frecklington. The midfielder found Derbyshire on his second attempt and the forward made no mistake and finished nicely into the bottom corner.
It seemed that United were going to go in at half-time 1-0 up. But, just before the break, Brentford were given an opportunity to equalise as they were incorrectly awarded a penalty.
The referee thought that Frecklington had fouled Sergi Canos in the area, Alan Judge's penalty was well saved by Lee Camp but the ball fell to Judge again, who was able to tap home to make it 1-1 at half time.
Brentford manager, Dean Smith, felt his side were lucky to have been awarded a penalty:
Smith: "I thought we had a very harsh penalty, I think their lad touched the ball. #rufc #yplive
— leon wobschall (@LeonWobYP) February 27, 2016
The feeling of injustice seemed to fire up the Millers players, who carried on from where they left off in the first half, by asking by questions of the Brentford back line.
The South Yorkshire outfit went 2-1 up through Danny Ward.
A corner from Joe Mattock eventually fell to Lee Frecklington, who battled well to win the second ball. His efforts paid off as the ball fell to Danny Ward, who left David Button no chance, as he finished well into the bottom corner.
All of Rotherhams hard work nearly came undone in the end, as it took a superb goal line block from Frazer Richardson and a last minute save from Lee Camp to keep the score at 2-1.
The Millers come up against local rivals, Sheffield Wednesday, on Saturday. Neil Warnock will be looking forward to renew his love-hate relationship with Wednesday and he will be hoping to get one over his old foes.
After this defeat, Brentford find themselves placed 14th in the table. They are only a couple points away from securing their Championship status for next season. Therefore, Dean Smith and the Brentford board will be planning for next season, which they hope, can see them push on and move up the league next season.
In my opinion, there was one player who stood out above the rest in this encounter and that man is Lee Frecklington. He is a player who has struggled with injuries throughout this season. Neil Warnock confirmed after the game that the midfielder was not due to be passed fit for another 10 days when he started the game on Saturday:
Lee Frecklington 10 days away from being fit, says #rufc boss Neil Warnock. Some performance! #starlive
— Paul Davis (@paulm_davis) February 27, 2016
The Millers faithful did not become aware of how much Frecklington is missed until he was introduced back into the side. He adds so much to Rotherhams armoury.
He gives the Millers energy in midfield, which has been lacking during his absence. As well as this, he adds an attacking threat and he is able to bite into his tackles, meaning he really does lead from the front.
The fact that he has returned to action 10 days early, really does typify the type of player Frecklington is, He has always shown his desire and professionalism throughout his career.
This victory really does give Rotherham United a fighting chance of staying up.
The win will give the squad a much needed boost going into their tough run of fixtures in March, as they face tough trips to Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday, as well as home games against Derby and Middlesbrough.

Healthcare provider Bupa has launched a check specifically designed to provide assessment and advice for prostate and testicular cancer. Within 30 minutes, customers will be much clearer about their health in relation to these male-specific areas, either identifiying the need for further tests or giving the reassurance they needed.
Male Health Check was developed in response to an increase in health assessment bookings earlier this year, which Bupa puts down to prostate cancer diagnosis being in the news. In March 2018, Bupa saw a 28% uplift in male health assessment bookings compared to the same time last year, and a 43% year-on-year increase in April 2018.
Dr Luke Powles, Associate Clinical Director, Bupa UK, said:
"Cancer awareness has significantly improved so it's good to see that men in particular are being more proactive about their health.
"The reality is that men can still be reluctant to take time out for a health check. That's why we created this specific, short check-up, which is designed to give men peace of mind around prostate and testicular cancer, while fitting in easily around their diaries."
The check, which costs £154, is available in 49 Bupa health clinics across the UK and can be offered as same-day appointments. Men will have the chance to discuss any concerns or family history of prostate and testicular problems, and then undergo relevant examination and the PSA test, if appropriate, to look for signs and symptoms, with quick onward referrals arranged if necessary. They will also get advice on self checking, and what factors may contribute to individual risk of developing prostate and testicular cancer.
Dr Powles added:
"As we know, an early cancer diagnosis can improve someone's survival rate. The Male Health Check gives customers the chance to understand their own individual risk of developing a male-specific cancer and detect an issue they may potentially have, all within a half an hour appointment."
For more information on the Male Health Check, head to www.bupa.co.uk/payg/gp-services/mens-health

Samarkand is the mysterious name of an impressive collection in which each carpet is crafted by hand in Auraya (India) and is unique. The basic secret behind this impressive combination of traditional elements and harmony of colors is the New Zealand wool used in the process of weaving and the presence of delicate motifs from Persia and the Caucasian region. The dyes used in the impregnation of the wool come from plants such as Nut Tree and Indigofera and Kermes. These works of art owe their ancient charm to thorough bathing in tea and herbs.

After being an active Realtor in the states of Oregon and Arizona, I've held a real estate license in the state of Colorado since 2005.
What I enjoy most about being a Realtor is the opportunity it presents to meet a continuous stream of very interesting people. I enjoy providing people I meet with extensive information on our market and I get a lot of satisfaction out of finding them the ideal property. I pride myself in my willingness to go the extra yard for all of my clients, doing whatever it takes to assure they have every question answered and are completely comfortable with their purchase and the work I'm doing for them. Knowing that every real estate client appreciates the availability of their Realtor, I give a high level of personalized attention to every buyer and seller I encounter.
Having aligned myself with Crested Butte Sotheby's International Realty in 2015 has enabled me to provide the level of service my listing clients deserve. Extensive online and print marketing, the presentation of each listing with the highest level of marketing artistry and utilizing the Sotheby's brand to represent the finest properties with the highest level of professionalism. Crested Butte Sotheby's continues to dominate the real estate market in the upper Gunnison Valley having captured a 33% market share in 2017.
Some of my favorite things in life are spending time with my family, Nordic and Alpine skiing, ice skating, mountain biking, craft beer, live music and bulldogs. I also get a kick out of showing friends and clients the best that Crested Butte has to offer. I've lived here since 2001 and the natural beauty and wildlife, the tight knit community and the many outdoor activities available are what make Crested Butte special to me.

Subscribe To Kate Beckinsale Targets Her Enemies In 9 New Underworld Awakening Images Updates
I've already subscribed
January 2012 is Kate Beckinsale month. Unofficially. But the beautiful actress has two films coming out back-to-back – who does she think she is, Steven Spielberg? – and that's more than enough reason for us to celebrate her talents. We'll have plenty on Contraband as its release date approaches. And for Underworld enthusiasts, we just added 9 new images to our gallery of Underworld: Awakening shots. Here are a few (click on each one to see it full size), but you can see the rest by clicking right here:
The official plot synopsis for Awakening, the latest installment in the long-running Underworld series, finds Selene (Beckinsale) in the middle of a war between humans, vampires and Lycans. Basically, mankind has uncovered the identity of the supernatural beasts, and now is waging war to try and eradicate them from the face of our planet.
But really, all Beckinsale fans need to know is that she's wearing the black leather, and she's brandishing hand cannons (see Photo No. 1, above). I do like that flamethrower-wielding psychopath who has Selene pinned in the third picture. Maybe the humans won't be such pushovers in this sequel, and the vamps and werewolves will have an actual fight on their hands.
We'll see. Awakening co-stars Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley, and Charles Dance. Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein direct the sequel, which will be available in 2D and 3D beginning on Jan. 20.

Hello families!
During the second term, the 3rd graders in l'Arrabassada have been working on a topic they enjoyed a lot: SUPERHEROES!
Yes, superheroes! We learnt the different powers a superhero can have, for example: fly, telepathy, becoming invisible, climb walls, run fast… We did some crafts about famous superheroes and we also watched a film in English about them: the LEGO movie.
To finish the unit, we did two amazing activities and they had a lot of fun.
First, they made their masks and they recorded a video introducing theirselves as real superheroes. Here you have:
Then, using a box with three holes (green, red and blue), a ball and cards with questions about the topic, they played a game in teams in which to score 5, 10 or 15 points they had to score a basket and asnwer correctly. Here you have some pictures:
See you soon super families!
