Britney Spears is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress; born on December 2, 1981, in Mississippi, United States. She played a huge role in the revival of Teen Pop in the late 1990s and early 2000s and that gained her the title as been referred to as the Princess of Pop.
In February 20008, Britney was placed under court-ordered conservatorship for some withheld mental issues; she was hospitalized under psychiatric grounds and has been to rehab multiple times. The conservatorship deal was ordered to help Britney make business decisions and manage her life if she finds it too overwhelming.
From 2006-2008, Britney Spears faced multiple visits from the Child Welfare Services after she was reportedly said to have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol in her children’s environment. She was made to undergo Drug and Alcohol Tests and subsequently, she lost custody and visitation rights to her boys. Following the lawsuit on her children’s welfare, Britney after been placed on a 5150 hold due to mental regrade twice was said to have locked herself up in a bathroom with one of her young sons.
In 2007, Britney’s MTV VMA performance raised controversies as her behavior were bizarre as she had shaved her hair off, she was seen without underwear, she was said to have been involved in a hit and run also, a car belonging to the Paparazzi crew was said to have come under an attack by Britney as she hit the car with an umbrella.
Britney Spear was initially placed under temporary conservatorship deal with her father, James Spears, and attorney Andrew Wallet giving them complete control of her assets; her conservatorship deal was then extended to be permanent and has almost lasted a decade now. In January 2009, Britney Spears and her father filed for a restraining order against her former manager Sam Lufti, Adnan Ghalib, and Jon Eardley as the claims were made that the trio conspired to gain full control of Spear’s affairs. Her family was also of the belief that Britney was placed under the influence against her will as they said she was been “drugged and controlled” by her former fiance Lufti, her family claims he caused the singer “severe mental trauma.”
In recent times, fans of Britney have raised their voices in demanding that the singer comes off her conservatorship deal with the court as they believe she is in danger and is been controlled and held under the harsh influence of certain drugs and substances.
To back their claims up, they question the sale of her Beverly Hills Mansion which is going for $6.8 million dollars. They also believe that Britney Spears has been calling for help via her Instagram posts as some have claimed to see bruises on her lips, also speculations were made that she had put in 911 under her lashes in one of her posts. They believe the Pop Princess has been sending out Cryptic messages and has been silently crying for help.
IS THE FREEBRITNEY TREND A STUNT BEEN PULLED BY BRITNEY AND HER MANAGERS, IS IT TRULY A CRY OF HELP AND FREEDOM OR ARE HER FANS ONLY BEEN PARANOID?


Evaluating the Temperature Shift in Analytical Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation
This article presents a new method to evaluate the temperature shift observed in analytical temperature rising elution fractionation (ATREF). The evaluation is based on the dependence of the measured peak temperature as a function of heating rates. Application of the proposed method does not require any knowledge of the fluid circuit characteristics geometry and avoids the use of narrow preparative TREF standards. The results are found to be more accurate than the method that is usually applied.

The formative period of American democracy was also a formative period for American JudaismJudaism is the worldview, the way of life, and the religious practice of the Jewish people, living in covenant with God and in response to Torah, the laws and ethics which guide the pattern of Jewish life. Jews today interpret their three thousand year ol.... Much like the young republic, Judaism in America defined itself in contrast to its European past: created by the will of the people, it generated its leadership from within. The rhythms of the new nation resonated deeply with the Jews of early federal period who were present at the creation of the United States. And while caught up in the fight for American independence, they sowed the seeds of their own independence from European Judaism. By creating a distinctive American Judaism, they would become Americans themselves.
In the European Jewish community, religious authority was vested in a hierarchical structure at whose apex stood the chief rabbiRabbi means “my master,” an authorized teacher or master of the Torah and the classical Jewish tradition.

After the fall of the second Temple in 70 CE and the scattering of the Jewish people in exile, the role of the rabbi became very important in gat... placed the institution and administration of the religious community in the hands of laymen. The early development of American Judaism was therefore highly democratized; created, to borrow words from the U.S. Constitution, “by the people, for the people, and of the people.” Through this democratization process, the synagogueSynagogue, shul in Yiddish, is the most widely used term for a Jewish house of worship. Meaning a “place of gathering,” it is the central institution of Jewish communal life. The structure and role of synagogues has changed through the centuries, but ... not only became the home for Jewish religious and social life, but also an arena for developing Americanization. Membership requirements were lowered to be more inclusive, synagogue regulations were reconceived as a written constitution, the community elected a president, and ideals of free speech created rich community conversations. At the same time, symbols of American patriotism became incorporated into the synagogue: the celebration of American holidays, the memorialization of war veterans, and an insistence upon using the English language. More and more often Christian American neighbors would be welcomed as visitors. Ultimately, such openings to the outside world would have repercussions for the nature of Judaism inside.
The Americanization of Judaism was perhaps best represented by the new form of religious leadership. In 1768, the Jewish congregation of New York hired twenty-three year-old Gershom Mendes Seixas as the first American-born hazzanIn Judaism, a cantor or hazzan/chazzan is one who recites, chants, or sings prayers or liturgical passages in the synagogue. (lay ministerMinister is a general term for a member of the clergy in the Christian church. The term has also come to use in other religious traditions to designate a member of the clergy (as in the Jodo Shinshu tradition and the Nation of Islam).), engaged by the colonial synagogue as the regular leader of the service. In Europe, the hazzan often functioned as the kosherKosher means, literally, “proper” or “correct” and refers to food that is permissible to eat under Jewish dietary laws (kashrut). These dietary laws prescribe what foods may be eaten, how animals must be slaughtered etc. butcher, the ritual circumciser, and the religious educator, but never attained the community authority and respect of the rabbiRebbe is the title of the spiritual leader of the Hasidim, the pietist Jewish movement which began in 18th century Poland and continues today, with its honoring of holy teachers and its emphasis on prayer and devotion..

In this context, Seixas joined the revolutionary effort and led his community out of British-held New York City to Philadelphia. There, in 1782, he spoke at the dedication of the new synagogue and invoked blessings upon “His Excellency the President, & Honorable Delegates of the United States of America in Congress Assembled,” thus bringing American politics and revolutionary themes into the synagogue service. In December 1783, Seixas participated in a petition to abolish the Christian oath required by the Pennsylvania Constitution for government service, which acknowledged both “the scriptures of the Old and New TestamentThe New Testament is the collection of a body of writings the early Christian community came to accept as authoritative: the four gospels, the Book of Acts, the letters of Paul, several other letters or epistles, and the Book of Revelation. to be given by divine inspiration.” According to Seixas’ petition, the oath requirement was “a stigma upon their nation and their religion.” Returning to New York in 1789, Seixas was present at the inauguration of President George Washington. Had he remained in Philadelphia, he would have been the hazzan to walk arm in arm with his fellow clergymen in celebration of the ratification of the Constitution in 1788. In short, Seixas’ career, combining religious functionary and ethnic representative, was the prototype for the American rabbi.
In general, however, the post-Revolutionary period witnessed a decline of the religious sphere. Just as the role of the churchThe term church has come to wide use to refer to the organized and gathered religious community. In the Christian tradition, church refers to the organic, interdependent “body” of Christ’s followers, the community of Christians. Secondarily, church ... in American life was receding, the synagogue/community bond was also no longer the quintessential element of some Jewish individuals’ lives; many Jews began to assimilate into politics or journalism as means of expressing Jewish commitments. An example of this model would be Mordecai Manuel NoahNoah was the descendant of Adam whose story is told in the biblical narrative of Genesis 6-9. He built an ark and saved himself and his family from a flood, taking with him pairs of animals of all kinds. After the earth was devastated by flood, God made a... of New York and Isaac Harby of South Carolina.

These were a new kind of Jew: active and successful in secular society, yet maintaining loyalty to their Jewish origins.

Twitter was entertained on Wednesday after a back and forth between French Montana and Young Thug broke out -- after Young Thug stepped up to defend Kendrick Lamar.
French claimed that he had more hits than Kendrick, and Thug took offense to this statement, and Thugger proceeded to roast him.
"Stupid ass n*gga think he got more hits than Kendrick Lamar," Thugger laughed in a clip posted to Instagram Story. "First of all, don't get in your feelings, bro. I'm just speaking from the artist standpoint. You don't got nowhere near more hits than no motherf*cking' Kendrick Lamar."
French mocked Young Thug for wearing a dress in his video for "No Stylist," and threatened to "expose" Thug -- and Thug claimed that Meek had a video of French "knocked out."
French then offered $1 million if Meek could provide that footage.
Much of Twitter sided with Thug and cheered Thug on. Here are just a few of the reactions:

Easy does it in St. Louis, where a less volatile market and traditionally affordable real estate stock have insulated the city from some of the market implosions in other parts of the country.
“Affordability is the number-one differentiator for the St. Louis market versus others in the country,” says Kevin Cottrell, a principal at the Cottrell Realty Group who offers online observations on the St. Louis real estate market at his real estate blog. According to Cottrell, the city’s affordability index of 80—meaning that 80 percent of the population can afford a median-priced home based on median income levels—results in a significant amount of pent-up demand.
Cottrell also says that since the St. Louis market did not see large price increases during the boom years of 2003 through 2006, it retained its affordable nature and thus has not seen the levels of difficulty currently seen in other markets. “When Las Vegas or San Diego had prices jumping 40 percent, we were up 4 to 7 percent,” he says. “Those markets outpaced affordability and, as a result, prices needed a major adjustment. In St. Louis, the general case is that the same home purchased in 2004 to mid-2005 would be worth just about the same amount today.”
That brand of level pacing has meant that the last few years have seen flat prices in St. Louis, according to Cottrell: “No declines, just flat pricing.”
Dawn Griffin of Circa Properties concurs. “Overall, the St. Louis market has been much more stable than what we have heard about on the coasts,” she says. “Our housing prices were appreciating in 2004 and 2005, but not skyrocketing. Since the beginning of the fourth quarter this year I’ve noticed a slowdown, but up until (then), sales in the city were very steady.”
Foreclosures “Not A Major Factor”
On Dec. 6, Cottrell Realty released Saint Louis Metro Real Estate Market: ‘Real’ State of the Market. The report finds that foreclosure and short-sale volume in the St. Louis metro area comprise less than 12 percent of total sales.
Claim up to $26,000 per W2 Employee
- Billions of dollars in funding available
- Funds are available to U.S. Businesses NOW
- This is not a loan. These tax credits do not need to be repaid
“Foreclosures are generally a low percentage of sales in our market and not a major factor, except in three specific areas,” Cottrell says.
Those areas are:
- Benton Park/St. Louis City/South City, which was previously swamped with investors attempting to purchase or rehabilitate properties in excess of demand;
- North County/Jefferson County, areas whose lower-than-average income and credit profiles resulted in a higher than normal amount of subprime loans;
- St. Charles County, where an excess of new construction and builder incentives have had a depressing effect on new construction sales as well as resales.
Griffin believes that more foreclosures will be coming on the market throughout 2009: “This is completely unscientific, but in the last batch of houses I showed to a first-time buyer looking between $175,000 and $200,000, there were three bank-owned properties,” she says.
The Cottrell report estimates that it will take between 18 and 24 months for supply and demand as well as prices to recover, particularly in the hardest-hit areas.
Griffin sees the St. Louis market as “ideal for investors.” She attributes this to a quality stock of multi-unit properties, as well as the presence of multiple universities as well as teaching hospitals, which provides a good amount of qualified renters.
She points to a very cohesive, historic housing stock, as well as the real estate market’s opportunities for renovating old homes or buying rental properties, as investor attractions. Griffin says the city itself offers “lots of great parks, free museums, a vibrant downtown, great restaurants, a great local art and music scene…St. Louis has all the offerings of a much larger city, but it has a very small-town feel.”
Griffin adds that it is easy to traverse the city—but only if you’re driving. She lists poor public transportation and lack of density as two challenges in the market.
For his part, Cottrell credits affordability and a large population and employment base for providing a ready-made strong market. “It’s steady and consistent strength that attracts investors to our market,” he says.
Cottrell believes that St. Louis County, which is the suburban area outside the actual city of St. Louis, is particularly desirable due to its top-ranked public and private schools, as well as a strong employment base. “The surrounding counties, with the few exceptions (areas hard-hit by foreclosure) are also very strong in terms of their relative affordability and employment growth,” he says.
Flat Pricing in Short Term
Cottrell says the average sales price in the St. Louis real estate market is approximately $190,000, with a median price of $135,000.
He envisions a consistent market in the short-term future. “(I predict) flat pricing and continued lower-than-average supply—available inventory—in the next six months,” he says. “Longer term, we expect a return to the norm of 4 to 6 percent appreciation as the area recovers from the national recession.”
Griffin believes the next six months will be spent absorbing foreclosures, which in turn will keep prices flat. “Five years from now, I think we will see average yearly appreciation of 4 to 8 percent,” she says.
The Cottrell reports forecast inventory to be down in 2009 and 2010, with consumer confidence keeping demand down into mid-2009. With interest rates and additional fees the largest market risk for buyers, the report foresees that recovery will begin in earnest in mid-2009.
“Real estate is a cyclical business,” the report asserts. “What is down won’t stay there.”

Happy Happy Monday!!!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is
Made In Minutes!
This is the day where we create a project and try to keep it under 20 minutes.
I decided to make a CAS card
I have a tendency to "collect" washi tape so for this card, I decided to actually use some of it haha! I cut the "Happy" from the Happy Thoughts set directly from my white layer. I then adhered it on top of the pink layer so that it showed through. I then stamped the "You Are My", also from the Happy Thoughts set, in pink ink. That cute little heart came from the 4x4 Journal Die + More set. I added strips of washi and a few sequins and voila! Clean and simple card that only took me 13 minutes to make :)
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look at my latest creation!
I really appreciate it!

How long do you pan fry thick burgers?
I find that a cast iron skillet or nonstick pan makes the best pan-fried burgers. But if you have a grill pan, that works too. Heat the pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and once nice and hot carefully add the patties in the pan. Cook the burgers until a deep golden crust forms, about 3 minutes.
How long do you cook a burger on each side?
- For a well-done burger, grill for 7 minutes per side.
- For a medium-well burger, grill for 6 minutes per side.
- For a medium burger, grill for 5 minutes per side.
- For a medium-rare burger, grill for 4 minutes per side.
- For a rare burger, grill for 3 minutes per side.
How long should I cook a burger?
Place the burgers on the grill grate and cook, waiting for at least 4 minutes before flipping. Cook until both sides are browned and the burger is cooked to the desired doneness, about 10 minutes total for medium-rare, 8-ounce burgers. Let the burgers rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Is it better to cook burgers in the oven or on the stove?
Is it better to cook burgers in the oven or on the stove? It’s up to your personal preference! Baked burgers are a great, nearly hands-off cooking method that won’t fill your kitchen with the smell of frying beef. Pan-fried burgers, on the other hand, have the benefit of a tasty sear from the cast-iron skillet.
Should burgers be thin or thick?
Depends on the quality of the beef and how it’s prepared. Usually I prefer thinner patties, but my favorite burger of all time is one from a restaurant that uses super thick patties. Thin patties are better for texture IMO. Thicker patties tend to lean more toward meatloaf at a certain point.
How do you pan fry burgers without burning them?
Preheat the pan to medium heat first, butter/oil isn’t necessary. Once it’s hot, place burgers on pan, once the juices start seeping through the top of the patty, flip it once and cook til desired doneness, add cheese around this time to melt. The less you touch the burger while cooking, the tastier it’ll be.
How do you tell if a burger is done?
We suggest putting the thermometer into the side of the burger —that way it’s less likely to go all the way through the meat, and give you a false reading. At 120°F, the burger is rare. At 130°F, it’s medium-rare. 140°F is medium, 150°F is medium-well, and over 160°F is well done.
Should you cook burgers in oil or butter?
Tips for Cooking the Perfect Skillet Burger You do need oil to cook your skillet burger. Some preferred to use butter to cook a skillet burger, however we choose olive oil. Cook your burgers on medium high heat and do not flip until about 5 minutes of cooking on the first side.
How do you know when to flip a burger?
You’ll know to flip the patties when you see liquid pooling on the uncooked surface. Be careful not to char the meat or press down on the patties with a spatula while cooking, you’ll squeeze out all those flavorful juices.
How do I cook a burger without a rack in the oven?
How do you cook frozen hamburgers in the oven without a rack?
- Line a Cookie Sheet with foil.. Put the Cooling Racks / Rack on top of foil..Spray with Cooking Oil…
- Lay out Frozen Burgers onto racks …
- Bake in oven at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes..then turn over and Top with Cheese for an additional 5.
How long do you grill burgers at 400?
- Divide ground beef into 4 (½-pound) or 6 (1/3-pound) portions.
- Heat the grill to high (gas or charcoal); 375- 400 degrees F.
- Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes for rare, 4-5 for medium-rare or 6-7 for medium doneness as measured with an Instant Read thermometer.
- Remove and allow to rest 5 minutes.
How long do you grill burgers at 350?
Grill your burgers for 6 minutes on one side and then flip. Grill hamburgers for an additional 6 minutes or until the internal temperature is between 140 and 145ºF. The center of the burgers will be pink and warm.
What’s the best way to cook burgers?
Cook your burgers in a flat pan over medium-high heat. The patties should sizzle when they hit the pan, and when you flip them, you should see a nicely dark, golden-brown sear on the underside. That’s the sign of a good burger!

The University of Oklahoma College of Law welcomed the Oklahoma judiciary on Wednesday, July 17, for the opening day of the 2013 Oklahoma Judicial Conference.
The statewide association of judges and justices serving Oklahoma's state courts meets each year to provide education and training of members of the judicial branch of state government. The association also analyzes the needs of trial courts, often sharing their findings with the state Supreme Court and Legislature.
“As the state’s flagship law college, it was truly an honor to serve as a host for this year’s state judicial conference,” OU Law Dean Joe Harroz said. “Oklahoma has outstanding judges who, along with their staffs, provide an incredible service to our state and nation. We are fortunate to have such talented and committed jurists. It was our privilege to host them for their opening reception.”
At the OU Law Center, judges heard presentations on a number of topics, including civil and criminal court case studies, digital forensics and retirement choices for judges. The day’s events closed with a reception in the Sneed Lounge and Boren Atrium that was sponsored by OU Law and the Cleveland County Bar Association.
“With OU Law in my backyard, I am grateful for the strong working relationship that I have with the College and Dean Harroz,” said former conference president and Cleveland County District Judge Lori Walkley. “The opening seminars and reception were a tremendous success, and we are grateful to the College for hosting the Oklahoma judiciary.”

(Wyoming News Service) Part of the deal Wyoming struck for sending its water down the Colorado River was that state residents would be able to tap electricity generated at Glen Canyon Dam. But that arrangement is becoming less tenable as water levels at Lake Powell required for hydro-power production continue to drop.
Sinjin Eberle, southwest communications director with the group American Rivers, explained in order to be able to generate electricity, Lake Powell can drop no lower than 3,490 feet.
"Figuring out how we're going to manage this system in the face of a much smaller river is what everybody in the Colorado River Basin, whether you are in Wyoming or California, need to be concerned about," Eberle said.
Glen Canyon Dam currently generates energy for nearly 6-million households in Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. Lake Powell water levels dropped to their lowest point since 1967 last summer, reaching 3,533 feet, and some warn the lake could dip below levels necessary for power generation as early as this spring, and have proposed demolishing the dam to help restore the Colorado River's health and long-term viability.
If Lake Powell drops below Dead Power to Dead Pool status at 3,370 feet, water would no longer be able to flow through the dam to lower basin states. This year's higher-than-average snow pack may provide short-term relief, but Eberle said it could take years of above-average precipitation to reverse decades of drought across the region, and added the challenges facing Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam are multi-faceted.
"Water-supply issues from a lingering 23-year drought, with impacts from climate change continuing to exacerbate those drought conditions," Eberle said. "And then (we have) some of the fastest growing areas of the country demanding more water."
When the Colorado River Compact was first negotiated in 1922, there were just 475,000 people living in the seven-state basin. Then-Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover projected that population could swell to two million people over time. But there are now at least 40-million people across the basin that depend on water from the river, Eberle said.
"This framework that was built in 1922 has lasted 100 years, but is also trying to support a system that is many, many times larger than the wildest imaginations of the framers when they built this compact," he said.

Real Events OCD
What is Real Events OCD?
Real Events OCD is an anxiety disorder, characterized by repetitive and unwanted obsessional ideas about real-life events. These thoughts often cause great distress and interfere with the person’s everyday life. People with Real Events OCD commonly have thoughts related to death or illness of a loved one, being responsible for a serious accident, or worrying that they may accidentally harm someone.
These worries often seem very realistic and may cause the person to feel panicked that they are going crazy or losing control. The obsessions often take up so much mental energy for the person with Real Events OCD that he or she has trouble focusing on everyday tasks, and sometimes becomes totally preoccupied by them to the point where these thoughts interfere with work and relationships.

Symptoms of Real Events OCD
Obsessions about potential threats or disasters, such as contaminated food, germs, fires, or being exposed to toxins in the environment. These obsessions often come with compulsions to check and clean things excessively to prevent harm from occurring.
Strong urges to act out disturbing or violent thoughts that may have no relation whatsoever to the reality of the situation. These thoughts may be about harming yourself or someone else, and can cause guilt and anxiety if you are unable to act on them.
Repeatedly checking your surroundings or performing rituals in order to prevent harm from occurring, even when there is no real threat present. This may involve repeated hand-washing, locking and unlocking doors, checking that appliances are turned off, or repeatedly going over safety procedures in your mind.
Intrusive thoughts about death or violence towards yourself or others that cause you great emotional distress and anxiety. These types of thoughts can make it difficult to go about your daily life, as you may feel like you need to avoid certain situations or environments in order to prevent acting on these thoughts.
Obsessions of Real Events OCD
Checking repeatedly to make sure that things are safe or secure.
Repeatedly arranging objects in a certain way or order.
Repeatedly checking to see if things really happened, such as when an event was witnessed or heard about it.
Repeating tasks over and over again to make sure that they are done correctly.
Obsessing about the idea that there is something wrong or dangerous, even when there is no evidence to support these fears.
Constantly worrying about making mistakes or causing harm, even when there is no reason for these worries.
Having intrusive thoughts about performing unacceptable, harmful, or violent acts.
Frequently doubting your memory or the accuracy of your perceptions.
Constantly seeking reassurance from others that things are safe and that you haven’t made a mistake.
Compulsions of Real Events OCD
Repeating rituals or behaviors: Many people with OCD experience intrusive thoughts and feelings that lead them to repeat certain behaviors over and over again, in an effort to neutralize or “undo” the thought or feeling. These compulsions can take many different forms, such as washing your hands repeatedly, checking the stove multiple times before leaving the house, or arranging and rearranging objects in a certain order.
Avoiding situations that trigger negative feelings or thoughts: People with Real Event OCD may avoid certain places or activities out of fear that they will trigger an unwanted thought or experience. For example, if you have a strong fear of contamination, you may avoid public transportation or touching other people, even if you recognize that this is irrational.
Seeking constant reassurance: People with Real Event OCD may constantly seek reassurance from others, such as family members or friends, by asking them to confirm that their experiences and thoughts are normal or rational. This can be a difficult habit to break, as the sufferer often feels like they need to hear that their experiences are “real” in order to feel at ease.
Constantly worrying about worst-case scenarios: People with Real Event OCD often find themselves fixating on the worst possible outcomes of a given situation. For example, you may constantly worry that your partner is going to leave you or that something terrible is going to happen to your child. While it’s normal to have some anxieties in these situations, people with Real Event OCD tend to go to extremes and dwell excessively on worst-case scenarios.

Kennametal Inc. has announced a multi-year renewal of its machining technology partnership with Chip Ganassi Teams (CGRT). Kennametal began its relationship with CGRT in 1993. This renewed relationship occurs in the wake of Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon’s dramatic first and second-place finish at the 2012 Indianapolis 500.
Chip Ganassi Race Teams and Kennametal announce a multi-year extension to their long-standing technology partnership. Here, the Kennametal logo is shown on the No. 42 Target Chevrolet, driven by two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race winner Juan Pablo Montoya.
Kennametal has expanded the 19-year metalcutting partnership by providing Ganassi’s Indy machine shop with proprietary Precision Surface Management Technology by Kennametal Extrude Hone. Kennametal’s advanced surface finishing solutions deliver uniform, repeatable, predictable results by removing the rough cast surfaces that restrict the efficiency of critical engine components and performance competence.
"As this year’s Indianapolis 500 showed, winning consistently isn’t just about the fastest car. It’s about precision team performance at top speeds,” says Kennametal Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer John Jacko. “We’re proud Kennametal technology will continue to be part of CGRT’s winning combination."
“We have been in business for 23 years and for 19 of those, Kennametal has been a partner,” said Chip Ganassi, owner of Chip Ganassi Racing Teams. “Their logo is on every one of our cars across all our teams and series. But what really makes the partnership even more important to the race team is how their expertise even helps us on race day. They come to us with many solutions for different mechanical challenges we face. It is great when you have a partner that can do that.”

Books by Dr. Reedy
The Audacity to Be You
The Audacity to Be You: Learning to Love Your Horrible, Rotten SelfDr. Reedy recently released The Audacity to Be You: Learning to Love Your Horrible, Rotten Self talks about how all our relationships are connected to the relationship we have with ourselves. He shows how the foundation for intimacy with partners, our ability to parent effectively, and the meaningfulness of our lives can be tied to how well we have unraveled our unique childhood history. The book is a simple but bold exploration into what makes us human and why happiness and connection are elusive for so many. Dr. Reedy's work is counter-intuitive, but the reader will often have the experience of being found and understood as they make their way through his work. Many readers say that reading his work is like hearing something for the first time that you already knew but just didn't have the words for.

- Read an overview and review of Dr. Reedy's book by Evoke's Malia Boyd
The Journey of the Heroic Parent
The Journey of the Heroic Parent: Your Child's Struggle and the Road Home, Dr. Reedy uses his personal story and stories from thousands of clients, to share wisdom on how to think about parenting. Parents are asked to shift from relying on experts for advice to learning how to think about parenting questions by truly understanding themselves and doing their own work. Miles Adcox, Onsite Workshops CEO, praises the work as a "must-read for any parent" and Harriet Lerner, author of The Dance of Anger, calls Dr. Reedy a "gentle, authentic, and wise guide."
Praise for The Journey of the Heroic Parent:
Important, relevant, and vulnerable is Dr. Brad Reedy’s message and road map for parents seeking deeper understanding, clarity, and happiness in The Journey of the Heroic Parent. I'm on the front lines daily with codependency and emotional trauma that parents often experience when their child needs or is in treatment and see first-hand the dramatic effect these conditions have on relationships. Unfortunately, far too many parents are torn apart by not having the tools Brad provides in this must read for any parent. This book is also an awakening to behavioral health professionals as this vital information is often overlooked. Parents looking for more than another self-help surface guide should take the time to invest in this smart and impactful resource.
—Miles Adcox, CEO Onsite Workshops
Dr. Brad Reedy and his partners have created, owned and operated one of the most successful wilderness treatment programs for more than 15 years. One of the keys to their success has been the skilled way in which Dr. Reedy helped parents understand their role and the path forward in helping themselves and their children negotiate the difficult struggles and obstacles of adolescence. For many years we have had parents talk about the insight and wisdom they gained from watching Brad’s webinars on parenting. He has now produced an excellent book that is well written and provides a clear path for all parents in considering and improving their own journey of parenting.
—John Santa, Ph.D., CO-CEO Montana Academy
With The Journey of the Heroic Parent, Dr. Reedy is not standing behind a lecture pulpit with microphone in hand, demanding for parents to change based on a prescriptive formula. He follows the pattern of many of the master-teachers. Such a pattern is characterized by asking the reader important questions. In his book, Dr. Reedy never provides a pat answer but through personal experiences is setting the stage of self-discovery—the most profound way of learning.
—Jared Balmer, Ph.D., Co-Founder, Executive Director Waypoint Academy
Brad’s compassionate approach invites healing for children and for parents. His ability to help parents and children find their own voice comes as he takes you on the journey of exploring your relationship with yourself and your child. As a clinician I've watched countless families transform & heal. Most powerfully, I've experienced this process first hand as a parent. Trusting Brad's pioneering process is a transformative and healing experience like no other in the field of mental health.
—Dirk Eldredge, CIP, BRI I, CADAC Alchemy Intervention
I have had the honor and pleasure of knowing Dr. Brad Reedy for over twenty years. His dedication to the lives of adolescents and their families is commendable. I often refer families and have yet to encounter an adolescent or family who has not found the experience to be a life-changing first step on what is often a long and painful journey. I hear nothing but praise from parents for Dr. Reedy’s webinars, and this book is a perfect adjunct to those presentations.
—Teri Solochek, Ph.D., C.E.P. Educational Consultant
When we sent our son to Second Nature Wilderness Therapy we thought we were sending him there to get "fixed". We couldn't have been more wrong! Instead, we embarked on a journey that broke our family open and became the greatest gift we have ever received. The Journey of the Heroic Parent beautifully incorporates all the lessons and tools we received while working with Brad and Second Nature. It is a thorough guide book for the journey through parenting, and absolutely the best one I have ever read. Brad taught us to look within and ask ourselves the deep personal questions that enabled us to find our own answers we needed to parent effectively. We also learned that our own personal growth and self care are the back bone to successful parenting. We now understand this to be a life long journey with no destination, but instead an ongoing process of exploration into ourselves and with our loved ones. I am deeply grateful to Brad for the tool box he gave our family, that we now have for a lifetime. Our family has had the benefit of Brad Reedy’s guidance and support for the past three years, ever since our teenage daughter spent several months learning and growing at the Wilderness Program. Our understanding of our own family dynamic has continued to deepen through an ongoing series of parent workshops offered by his program. Brad’s insightful new book, The Journey of the Heroic Parent: Your Child’s Struggle and the Road Home makes his thoughtful approach available to anyone who struggles with the demands of parenting a troubled child, adolescent, or young adult. The book offers many vitally important lessons, including:
- We interfere with our children’s growth if we try to shield them from pain or control their journey.
- We can work on ourselves. This involves taking a hard look at our own role in the family dynamic.
- We can talk less, fix less, and listen more.
- We can identify what boundaries we wish to set with our kids.
This helps us to be clear and consistent in the messages we impart to them. These lessons are valuable for all parents (whether their kids are struggling or not). We find we’re becoming better parents to both of our children by incorporating these principles into our everyday behavior — and we’re finding more room in our lives for peace and happiness.
—Tim and Jennifer, Southern California Parents
What I love about Brad’s work is that he doesn’t preach or give advice. Rather he guides the parent and child through a process of self-discovery. Learning that we have all the wisdom we need, buried beneath our fears, shame, and myriad of voices in our head is an empowering experience.
—Elisa Hallerman, Founder/C.E.O. Recovery Management Agency
In The Journey of the Heroic Parent, Dr. Reedy shows us how to parent with an Open Heart. He is able to help parents see through the confusion, frustration, and anxieties to discover their own voice in parenting, and to discover that the journey of being a healthy parent is really the journey of being a healthy person. As we embrace our journey, we will be able to add greater insight and skills to a most profound love—the love of that between a mother and her children.
—Jane Seymour, Emmy & Golden Globe Winning Actress, Author, Artist, Entrepreneur, and Mother
The Journey of the Heroic Parent shows how the generation gap that exists between parents and children can be bridged as a parent embraces their own journey of self discovery.
—Nikki Sixx, Bass Player/Motley Crue, Sixx A.M. and Sixx Sense Radio Host

Hm, was she thinking about it?
What do you think of Justin’s mustache?
Should he keep it or shave it off?

Oil prices stabilized Tuesday morning, as trade tensions between China and the United States subsided
The future of the WTI crude oil were little changed to 56.25 to$ 11.00, while the future of the Brent international edged up 0.3% to $ be$59.92.
Oil prices have been supported by some positive developments on the front of a commercial sino-american today. The u.s. Commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, has confirmed that Washington would extend to 90 days the licence to the chinese company Huawei Technologies Co. to continue temporarily to do business with american companies.
The discussions optimistic of the us administration on trade during the weekend have also been cited as a favorable wind for the oil markets. The economic adviser of the White House, Larry Kudlow, said that the recent message threads between the two parties had been “positive” and that the conference calls would continue for a week to ten days.
Elsewhere, the news according to which rebels in yemen have attacked an oil installation in Saudi Arabia over the weekend are still valid. Reports suggest that there should be at least a week to repair the damage, but the government-owned corporation Saudi Aramco, said that oil production was not affected.
As regards the data, the American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, is expected to publish Wednesday its weekly report on crude inventories, while the Energy Information Administration, an agency of the u.s. department of Energy, will issue its data the following day.
The increases in oil prices have, however, been limited, with traders remaining cautious after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has lowered its growth forecasts for global oil demand in 2019 of 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1.10 million bpd, and indicated that the market could be slightly in surplus in 2020.

Working with a Disability
There are certain employment criteria that need to be met to become a PT or PTA. However, certain provisions can be altered, provided the therapist is able to maintain safety precautions with the patient and himself while performing the skills required.
Some state licensing provisions may incorporate restrictions in addition to the lifting and positional (standing, sitting, squatting etc.) work-related requirements that a therapist will need to meet to become employed. These barriers can limit therapists in employment opportunities and decisions about where to apply for a position. Is there a discriminatory nature against therapists with a disability or does this become a safety issue when dealing with patient care?
I've spoken out against state boards that ask about mental disabilities because they often ignore other health-related concerns regarding the safety of patients. For instance, if I'm HIV-positive (not every state asks about this, nor do they require a blood test), I could potentially infect patients and other health workers if I'm not careful. State licensing boards don't ask if I'm in a wheelchair either but they are concerned about my mental health. Doesn't the Americans with Disabilities Act protect disabled workers from discrimination? The ADA does make provisions for alcoholics and recovering drug addicts but state boards are apparently not concerned about those disabilities.
What happens if I acquire a disability after I have a license? I can simply check the box "no" that asks if I've ever been convicted of a felony, send in my licensing fee and get a new license to practice and the state is no wiser. Does the state need to know I have a head injury or that I'm now confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life? No, because they never asked me. And they certainly don't need to know if a therapist has been in a psych unit for two weeks with a new diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder.
What happens when a therapist has a surgery that may limit him in his job performance? Should a PT who had carpal tunnel surgery have to tell the state he had the procedure because it could potentially interfere with how he puts his hands on the patient and adversely affect a manual muscle test? What about a PTA who had a surgical repair of the Achilles tendon? Couldn't that affect patient safety during a transfer? This then opens up a question regarding the correct definition of a disability in relation to patient safety in the physical therapy environment.

Swiss food giant Nestlé has been told to pay $15.6 million to a man whose image was used without his permission for many years on coffee jar labels.
Nestlé said on Tuesday that it plans to appeal the decision - worth SFr18.6 million - which was made by a court in Glendale in California.
Russell Christoff, a former model, came across his likeness on jars of Taster’s Choice coffee while out shopping in 2002.
He had originally posed in a two-hour Nestlé photo shoot in 1986, but thought that nothing had come of it.
A legal dispute with Nestlé USA followed, during which 58-year-old Christoff turned down the company’s $100,000 settlement offer and Nestlé USA declined his offer to settle for $8.5 million.
Last week a Los Angeles Superior Court jury ordered Nestlé USA to pay Christoff $15.6 million for using the image without his permission and profiting from it, said Nestlé on Tuesday.
The sum includes five per cent of the company’s profit from Taster’s Choice sales from 1997 to 2003.
During that time, Nestlé sold the freeze-dried coffee with labels using Christoff’s likeness in the US, as well in Japan, South Korea, Israel, Mexico and Kuwait. The company’s Canadian branch started to use the image in 1986.
At Nestlé’s headquarters in Vevey, spokesman François-Xavier Perroud said the award to Christoff was “absurdly high”.
Nestlé USA lawyer Lawrence Heller has already said that the company would appeal the verdict.
“The employee that pulled the photo thought they had consent to use the picture,” said Heller.
Christoff’s legal team said that the former model hadn’t expected such a large payout.
Christoff is now working as a kindergarten teacher after a career that included working as a model, acting in corporate training videos, as well as hosting his own television programme.
The former model says there’s a good reason why he didn’t spot his image on the jars of instant coffee sooner.
“I don’t buy Taster’s Choice,” he said. “I do beans.”
swissinfo with agencies
The former model refused Nestlé's first offer of $100,000.
Then Nestlé rejected Christoff's proposal of $8.5 million.
A Los Angeles County Superior Court jury has now ordered Nestlé USA to pay $15.6 million in compensation.

Some people collect napkins, while others collect cars. In a country like the US, where the automotive industry is national pride, devoting one's free time to cars is much more common. This is how we meet the racing driver Jimmy Shaw on a car demonstration in Columbus, Ohio.
This man simply adores cars! 5 years ago he found on eBay a Ford Maverick from 1971 in very bad condition and decided to transform it into a real beast. He says that he always wanted to mix the past and the present engineering schools in the automotive industry so he found the Greenings: a father and son team of mechanics to help him achieve his dream. And to give him a ride at 200 mph.
Greenings confess that none of them has ever seen so well preserved cars from 50 years ago. When renovating it, they found that the metal of the machine is very well maintained but the engine needed a lot of work. Helping Jimmy, they had only one goal: to make this Maverick great again! So, everything outside is polished while under the cover is completely new.
Last month on this Maverick show in Columbus, Jimmy showed us the results of the redesign and gets back the wheel. Originally produced as an economy car, today this Ford reached the turbo speed of 202.7 mph! And Jimmy demonstrates his appreciation both to the original designers and to the Greenings: they want you to drive the car, to use it, and abuse it.

Ameen Ayoub Design Studio is known for producing inventive residential projects which reflect their geographical site and connect to the environment. This philosophy is underscored in a contemporary mansion with unique architecture, planned for a swath of privately-owned acreage inside historic Runyon Canyon Park in Los Angeles. For this modernist residence, Ayoub was influenced by Native American cliff dwellings built by Ancestral Pueblo people during the 1200s.
“I grew up in the desert Southwest near New Mexico and the landscape there has always inspired me,” Ayoub said. “The geologic structures are bare and raw and sublime to see and experience. I spent a great deal of time hiking and fly fishing near the Gila Wilderness National Forest. I became familiar with the cliff dwelling structures when I was in high school, and visited them during my architecture graduate school days. What struck me most was the near seamless blend between manmade and natural structures. The Runyon Canyon topography and site lent itself to a partially-buried structure, much like the cliff dwellings.”
Ayoub was sensitive to the popular park and its relation to the future home site, opting to tuck the mansion into its surroundings as much as possible. “It was important to create a structure that could mirror some of the natural elements in the park but still have its own character. We introduced a structure that was truly built into the side of a hill and created undulating roofs that could be walked on, much like the trails inside the park.” He describes the architectural style as “contemporary and at the same time ancient. The blend of the old and new was the goal; it’s a structure that has the capability of becoming timeless.”
Another notable structure is already on the building site, Ayoub revealed. “There is an existing Lloyd Wright home on the property which is listed as a historical structure and we are preserving it. The new home will be positioned on the western downslope to conceal itself from the Mulholland Scenic Drive. The views will capture Hollywood to West Los Angeles.”

Strategic Management for School Development: Leading Your School's Improvement Strategy.
This practical book introduces strategic management for leaders and senior managers in schools and shows how it can contribute to school development. Following the introductory chapter, chapter 2 discusses the concept of strategy and the conceptual stages of developing strategy--analysis, choice, and implementation. Chapter 3 examines the relationship between leadership and strategy. Chapter 4 gives major consideration to the ways school staff members can work together and the differences between consultation and participation. Chapter 5 examines school improvement and the issues of how to determine what to improve and how to go about improvement. Chapter 6 brings together the three conceptual stages of strategic management and the three operational stages in a strategic planning model for schools. Chapters 7 to 9 consider, in turn, the processes of strategic analysis, strategic vision and choice, and strategic implementation and monitoring. A brief concluding chapter invites schools to begin to plan more strategically, starting with suggesting realistic expectations of the outcome from a first strategic plan. A large number of activities are included, designed to facilitate staff discussion of strategic analysis and strategic choice, plus a list of sources for further reading. (Contains 51 references.)

Drunken gang members leaving a post-auto-show party boat caused mayhem in the West Village early Monday — shooting up a car and getting into fights throughout the quiet neighborhood, according to law-enforcement sources.
The hours after the annual New York Auto Show have been times of gang-initiation violence in busy areas like Times Square on Easter Sundays in recent years.
When cops arrived, all that was left was the abandoned Nissan sedan, riddled with several bullet holes.
But the chaos this year broke out on a tree-lined stretch of Bethune Street around 2:45 a.m., shortly after a Hornblower Cruises ship docked at Pier 40, cops said.
All that was left when cops arrived was an abandoned Nissan Maxima riddled with bullet holes. Cops were unable to find blood or victims after canvassing the area and local hospitals.
Sources said that the boat had been full of boozed-up gang members conducting initiations. There apparently had been a fight on the ship just before it docked.
“I was sleeping and I heard a bunch of pops,” said Edward Woods, 54, a graphic designer who lives on Bethune Street. “[I] was shocked that the [gang] initiation had leaked into the West Village.”
A mom who also lives on the block added, “It just goes to show that you’re not safe from gangs anywhere you live, especially nowadays.”

Therapeutic decision-making for patients with multimorbidity (MM) is challenging. Clinical practice guidelines inadequately address harmful interactions and resulting therapeutic conflicts within and among diseases. A patient-specific measure of MM severity that takes account of this conflict is needed. As a proof of concept, we evaluated whether the new Multimorbidity Interaction Severity Index (MISI) could be used to reliably differentiate patients in terms of lower versus higher potential for harmful interactions. Two hypothetical patient cases were generated, each with 6 concurrent morbidities. One case had a low (i.e., low conflict case) and the other a high (i.e., high conflict case) potential for harmful interactions. All possible interactions between conditions and treatments were extracted from each case's record into a multimorbidity interaction matrix. Experienced general internists (N = 18) judged each interaction in the matrix in terms of likely resource utilization needed to manage the interaction. Based on these judgements, a composite index of MM interaction severity, that is, the MISI, was generated for each physician and case. The difference between each physician's MISI score for the 2 cases (MISIdiff) was computed. Based on MISIdiff, the high conflict case was judged to be of significantly greater MM severity than was the low conflict case. The positive values of the inter-quartile range, a measure of variation (or disagreement) between the 2 cases, indicated general consistency of individual physicians in judging MM severity. The data indicate that the MISI can be used to reliably differentiate hypothetical multimorbid patients in terms of lesser versus greater severity of potentially harmful interactive effects. On this basis, the MISI will be further developed for use in patient-specific assessment and management of MM. The clinical relevance of the MISI as an alternative approach to defining MM severity is discussed. Show more
