Instead of Celtic Pride; Celtics Died

What happened? Game 6 of the series was over before it even started. The C’s ended up?getting trouncing by the Lakers.

Sox And Celtics Turn It Around
After my thumping of the poor performance of the Red Sox and Boston Celtics in this blog recently, they’ve turned it around.
The Sox found their offense in a 17 – 8 win over the LA Angels. The Celtics played with concentration, defense and intensity in their 104 – 86 beating of the Cavaliers.

Spousal support and support modification
Under California law, spouses must support each other while living together. On the other hand, if spouses are not living together there is generally no duty of support, unless there was an explicit agreement to continue to provide support or the court has made those orders in a legal proceeding.
Most commonly, spousal support orders are issued either during the dissolution of a marriage, or for a period of time that is just and reasonable following the dissolution of a marriage. It will be based on the standard of living established during the marriage. That standard of living, while not the sole focal point in this determination, is a reference point against which other factors are weighed.
In general, a spousal support award is not mandatory in a dissolution of a marriage proceeding. It is up to the court's discretion. While there are statutory parameters to follow, the court has discretion to either deny support, or limit it to an amount and duration that reflects the ability of the parties to provide for their own needs. The trial court's decision will only be changed on appeal if it is determined that there was an abuse of discretion.
There are 14 factors that the court must consider and weigh, but the final decision is the court's and it has broad discretion. The factors are as follows:
- Extent to which earning capacity is sufficient to maintain the standard of living.
- Extent to which supported party contributed to the attainment of an education or career position of the supporting party.
- The ability of the supporting party to pay.
- The needs of each party.
- The obligations and assets of each party.
- The duration of the marriage.
- The ability of the supported party to work.
- The age and health of the parties.
- Any history of domestic violence.
- The tax consequences of support.
- The balance of hardships.
- The goal that both parties are self-supporting.
- Any criminal convictions.
- Other factors the court determines are just and equitable.
The calculation of spousal support is very fact-specific to a given case. In some cases there may be no support, or for a very short time. In other cases it may be significant, even for the remainder of someone's life. Of course, in between these extremes are a multitude of situations, such as paying until the spouse completes education, or paying so they can stay at home and raise the children, or until they are self-supporting in a reasonable amount of time, for instance.
Spousal support may be modified. For example, if the supported party is no longer in need, or the party paying lost the ability to pay or there was a change in circumstances, then the order for support may be terminated. Another way that it may be terminated is if the receiving party failed to make good faith efforts to be self-sufficient within a reasonable amount of time. The court can also look to any and all of the aforementioned 14 factors and see if things have changed, which might justify terminating support.
However, if the parties stipulated that the spousal support award shall be "absolutely non-modifiable" as to amount or duration, a court may not terminate the support earlier than the terms dictate.

??????????? If you're like I was before reading this book, you probably don't know much about the Bataan Death March. Oh, you might remember that it was something that happened in World War II in the
To label the movement a "march," as the men took to calling it,was something of a misnomer. During the first few days of walking there were so many men on the road, one bunch following closely behind another, they appeared a procession without end, prisoners as far as the eye could see, mile after mile after mile of tired filthy, bedraggled old men, heads bowed, feet dragging through the ankle-deep dust.
??????????? But this book is so much more than just an historical retelling of a grim military defeat. The authors skillfully insert you into the
??????????? The surrender to the Japanese doesn't occur until you are approximately 150 pages into the book, and by that time you are fully immersed in the narrative of courage, starvation, dehydration, and brutality. The death march itself is filled with examples of unimaginable cruelty, beatings, torture and death. The description of the Japanese mistreatment of prisoners is not for the faint of heart.
??????????? And when the prisoners have marched sixty-six miles and think that the worst is over, they find themselves subject to unspeakable conditions in the Japanese prison and labor camps. The degradation and deprivation suffered by the prisoners at these camps rivals the treatment the Jews received in Nazi Germany.
??????????? At the center of this riveting novel? is a young
They ate rice. Rice with stones, dirt, and weevils. They steamed, stewed it, made it into soup. Sometimes they supplemented the rice with vegetables -- camotes, a poor-man's sweet potato, kangkong, a spinach-like vine commonly known in
Starving men will eat anything, and much of the camp was picked clean of weeds and cogon grass. Army Corporal Johnny Aldrich told himself, "If cows and horses can eat grass, I can eat grass, too." He tried it raw first but couldn't get the bitter stuff down, then he took his forage to a friend in the camp kitchen, who boiled the long blades into a brown and green stew.
They ate in the open, sitting or squatting in the dirt, spooning or fingering their food with one hand and swatting away the flies with the other. On the average they would given eighteen ounces of food a day (fifteen hundred calories and thirty grams of protein), half of what a healthy adult man (under ideal conditions and doing moderate work) needed to live. For sick men -- and almost all of the Americans and Filipinos at O'Donnell suffered from something -- this prison-camp "diet" was a disaster.
The lack of nutrients aggravated and accelerated their malaria dengue fever, blackwater fever, diphtheria, and pneumonia, and left them suffering from a host of painful, and lethal, conditions: wet beriberi (with its gross edema), scurvy (which made their noses bleed and their teeth fall out), pellagra (a feeling of pins in their skin accompanied by severe diarrhea), nyctalopia (night blindness), amblyopia (day blindness or loss of vision), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo (severe disorientation), burning feet, conjunctivitis (severe itching and burning in the eyes), and gross peripheral neuropathy (their limbs went completely numb).
Far and away, however, the worst of their maladies was dysentery. So many men had come into camp with it (a third? half?) the slit trenches they dug -- and they dug them regularly -- filled within days. And like the foul holding pens of Balanga and Orion along the route of the march,
??????????? This is a war that brings out the black depravity most men hide all their lives deep, deep in their souls. It's also a book about courage, sacrifice, and the indomitable will to survive despite overwhelming odds. Some passages will leave you shaking your head wondering how some men can treat others with such unwavering contempt. Other parts will leave you rejoicing over man's capacity to endure and eventually forgive horrendous mistreatment. Ultimately, it's a first-rate description of unsung heroes who endure draconian hardships while maintaining their basic humanity. This highly recommended novel is one you'll never forget.

Why divorce mediation?
90% of divorce litigation ends in full settlement of all issues after months and months of emotional turmoil, several thousands of dollars in attorney's fees, hurt feelings and anger. Mediation can resolve the issues and result in a settlement without the cost both financially and emotionally.
Mediation is less expensive than litigated divorces. You are engaging one person to resolve the issues between you rather than taking an adversarial approach where you both are paying an attorney $250-$350 per hour and incurring costs for court appearances where a substantial amount of the charge is waiting for your turn before the judge.
Divorce mediation can save up to 85% of the costs of a litigated divorce process. Parties who choose to litigate their marital issues often deplete their assets substantially. Mediation can allow you to take control over your future, preserving the family's assets.
Parties are more likely to comply with the terms of the judgment if they have fashioned those terms vs. a judge imposing orders on a party.
Parties are more satisfied with the outcome than if they were involved in an adversarial divorce. No one wins in a divorce case, least of all the children. Mediation can allow much more flexibility than court orders. In fashioning orders, the law binds a judge, where in mediation parties are able to fashion orders that work for their individual needs.

Will I get spousal support?
Whether or not you will pay or receive spousal support (formerly known as alimony) depends on many factors. The court will determine support based on the length of the marriage, the circumstances of the parties and the standard of living established during the marriage.
Most courts take the following into consideration in determining the amount of spousal support and the length of time it will be paid:
- The length of the marriage.
- The job skills of the party seeking support and the market for those skills.
- The time required for the party seeking support to obtain skills and training to enable them to become employed.
- Whether or not the supported spousal was unemployed for periods of time due to raising children or domestic duties.
- The ability of the supporting party to pay spousal support, taking into account the their earnings, earning capacity and unearned income.
- The needs of each party based on the standard of living established during the marriage.
- The obligations and assets, including the separate property, of each party.
- The age of the minor children and the ability of the supported spouse to work without unduly interfering with the needs of the minor children.
- The age and health of the parties.
The court's consider a marriage of over ten years a "long term" marriage and generally will not set a termination date for support, but will have the support continue until "further order of the court".
Each case is different and many, many factors are considered in determining the length and amount of support to be paid, if any. It is important to speak with a experienced Family Law Attorney to determine the spousal support obligation.
Types of child custody
Legal Custody: In almost all cases the parties will share joint legal custody of the child. Legal custody allows the parents to share in the decision making regarding the child. Joint or shared legal custody means that the parties share equally in decisions relating to the children's care, upbringing, educational training, religious training, social and recreational activities, medical care and treatment, and treatment of emotional needs.
Each party has access to medical and school records of the child and can independently consult with any and all professionals involved with the children.
Physical Custody:?Also known as "primary" custody is where the child will spend the majority of his/her time.
Joint Custody:?This is a term that is preferred by the court's in reference to custody. The parties are awarded joint custody and the "sharing" plan designates what times the child spends with each parent. This does not mean that it is a 50/50 sharing plan. It can be a vast variety of plans.
Visitation: Many parenting plans refer to the time the non-primary custodial parent spends with the children as "visitation". In many cases this designation is objectionable to the non-primary parent and although a "visitation" plan is implemented it is preferable to call it "child sharing".
In a dissolution proceeding the parties are required to attend a mediation session regarding custody and visitation issues if the parties have not agreed on a sharing plan. The court mediators (Family Court Services) meet with both parents in an attempt to help them reach a parenting plan that is in the best interest of the children. The parties may meet with an independent, outside mediator, if they prefer.
California law states that it is the goal of the state to insure that both parents have frequent and continuing relationship with both parents. Of course, there are many situations where shared parenting in not in the children's best interest.

What happens at divorce mediation?
An initial consultation is scheduled to allow the parties to determine if they wish to mediate their dispute and if the mediator suits their needs. This consult is free of charge.
If the parties have committed to mediation, a meeting is scheduled to meet and determine the issues involved and to provide the mediator with necessary information. Each party is given a "work sheet" to prepare their proposed resolutions to the "issues" and to provide information regarding income, expenses, assets and obligations and any other information the mediator requests.
In order for the mediation to be successful, both parties must cooperate fully and provide necessary information.
It is the mediator's job to educate both parties as to what the law requires and what, in the mediator's opinion, the court would do if requested to resolve an issue. The mediator assists the parties in keeping focused on the issues and moving forward through the process. The mediator will not advise you but can make helpful suggestions regarding solutions. The mediator provides both spouses with necessary information to allow them to work together toward a resolution that makes sense to both parties. The mediator provides several options that the parties may not have considered.

The report noted a problem throughout the fears about high-risk material army growth or for the prescription of drugs, amphetamines and restricted to antidepressants with the boom of Soldiers, with a view to seeking a Behavioral health care.
In the case of a suspected itsemurhia fiscal year 2009 that the full amount of the army was a well-established company with 1,713 239. Press when the number of potential itsemurhia in 2010 is available at: 169--nine less active duty deaths than during the same period last year.
In addition, in the second year, the army's suicide has surpassed the national average of about 100 000 and 100 000/19/22 throughout America.
Column Chris Philbrick, Vice President, the army's Suicide prevention working group press release "suicide prevention is a lot to the final act of desperation that last more than pysyttäytymisestä" wrote. "It has increased awareness and education, in order to prevent the army family members from never to the point of suicide may be considered as an alternative to have asked for help. "
The army is engaged in the suicide prevention campaign appetite suppressent
is called "Shoulder Shoulder: I never stop life."The campaign is part of what features candid interviews Soldiers, a new 15-minute training video and family members who have battled with suicide.
The organisation created in conjunction with the army is also with the National Institute of mental health Research, the five-year, $ 50-million research program to better understand why the Soldiers are ending their lives.
Brig. General Colleen McGuire provost marshal general of army-who is responsible for the preceding year, heading up the army's Suicide prevention Working Group--found that suicide is the only US military issue: implementation of suicide each year approximately 32 000 people, the third leading cause of death.
When the army leaders and mental health professionals are not able to accurately, why suicide added significantly since 2001, McGuire said much discovered the reason may lie in almost 10 years of the war and the stress of the transitional period.
Transitions, such as a new unit and base, home of the future demonstration deployments and relationships among the re-locating all the life changes that are difficult to Soldiers, he said.
"Transitions are huge individuals," fears Chiarelli, who added the Soldier in his first year, the army is more likely than suicide at any time.
79% of Soldiers that make suicide is either never or only one deployment, Chiarelli, said.
However, McGuire sees decline in active duty itsemurhia success and link to push training and awareness of suicide prevention downshift in numbers.
"I think it helps ... professional products, highlights the leadership, resources, have had an impact on the entire campaign," he said.
McGuire said he would like to see all the highlights and the focus on accountability, the Soldier leadership criteria.
"The soldiers understand that they are themselves responsible for, and comply with the army values and include them in the fully all the," McGuire said.
He called on the forces of their fellow soldiers in person and be vigilant signs and symptoms of depression and suicide of extra time.
"If we really live the Warrior attitudes, we really look after each other," McGuire said. "We look forward to after each other, if Not we have also looking after ourselves. where we need help, we have to aim. "
