Demi Moore Leaves Rehab, Now On Vacation

Actress Demi Moore is no longer in rehab and reportedly seeking some R & R by taking a little vacation, according to PEOPLE. Let’s hope that she got the help she needed and is on her way to feeling 100% again. Last year was quite hellish for Demi, to say the least. In September, she would have celebrated six years of marriage to her husband, Ashton Kutcher. As we all know, the two did not spend that weekend together, instead her soon to be ex-husband had a fling (allegedly) with a gal in a San Diego hotel room. She came forward with the deets on the so-called dirty deed and things went downhill for Moore and Kutcher from there. It was pretty sad, but not too surprising as there were previous whispers of Kutcher’s infidelity the year prior. After months of speculation, Demi finally announced in November that she would be divorcing Ashton. Photos of Moore looking gaunt had friends worried about her health and undoubtedly the stress of events that had transpired in the last several months had taken a toll. In January, things went out of control for Moore. She was rushed to the hospital after suffering a [...]

The drama has gone from Wisteria Lane to the courtroom.

On Friday, Nicollette Sheridan took the stand during the trial against Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry, whom she is suing. She alleges he fired her because she complained that he attacked her on set.

Cherry's attorney Adam Levin argued Sheridan has changed her story, claimed at one point that Cherry "slapped" her and on another that he had "hit" her.

"I don't know why they're different," Sheridan said heatedly, according to E! Online. "I said from the beginning that Cherry hit me. I am not sure why the word slapped is in there."

According to Deadline, Levin later said that Cherry did indeed "tap" Sheridan on the head, but did not strike her. He also pointed out that Sheridan was never a star on Desperate Housewives, noting the salary differences between her and co-stars Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria. He also said Sheridan never joined in the group shot during the show's opening sequence.

Levin then pointedly played a video montage of every character every killed off the show ? all 48 of them ? further demonstrating that Sheridan was one of many axed by the show.

Following the session, Sheridan's lawyer addressed reporters, accusing the defense of purposefully trying to elicit an emotional response from Sheridan on the stand.?Sheridan is expected back on the stand Monday.

How To Prepare Yourself To Be An Expert In Auto Insurance | E ...

by Paul Kurtzer on March 3, 2012

Always record all the insurance bills you pay. If you were ever to run into an issue with your insurer, having this proof in your car would keep you from getting another ticket for failure to have proof of insurance.

You can be dropped from a new insurance policy in the first two months for just about any reason. The insurer uses this time to look over your record, and make sure you?re not too high risk for them to insure. If an insurance company does choose to stop covering you, it could affect your rates going forward.

If you want to continue to have affordable car insurance, don?t let your coverage lapse. You need to find a provider and a policy you like, then stick with them to avoid gaps in coverage. When companies find out about gaps they will raise insurance rates.

Sit with your agent prior to personalizing your car to make sure you have the correct amount of coverage. A set of rims might set you back $1,000 but if they only add $30 of value to the car according to the appraiser, you will lose the difference in the event that the vehicle gets stolen.

One place to find discounts on auto insurance is with the company that you work for. The human resources department should be able to tell you if your company has any group discounts available for auto insurance. Most employers work with insurance companies to get lower group rates. You may qualify for a bigger discount if you?ve been working for your employer for a long time. If the company does not have any special group plans in place, suggest that they consider looking into them.

By now, you know that vehicle insurance is more complicated than many people believe. Investigation and common sense are required, but at the end of the day, extending the usable life of your car is worth it. You will be able to pick a better insurance policy if you consider these suggestions.

Ometepe enters digital era

Thousands of school children and their families living on the volcanic island of Ometepe were ushered into the digital age yesterday thanks to an ambitious effort by Nicaragua?s Zamora Ter?n Foundation to provide special educational laptops to all elementary school students in the country.

In an effort to boost primary school enrollment, reduce poverty and close the digital divide in Nicaragua, the Zamora Ter?n Foundation yesterday handed out 5,000 XO laptops to all primary school students and teachers in Altagracia, Ometepe.

The massive laptop giveaway makes Ometepe the first ?digital island? in Latin America, according to Zamora Ter?n Foundation, a nonprofit group founded as part of LAFISE BANCENTRO?s corporate responsibility efforts.

The XO laptops come preinstalled with all the education material related to the curriculums for grades 1-6, as well as other reference and learning resources. The laptops also have free wireless access everywhere on the island so students can access a specially designed Internet program with materials for educational investigations.

The XO laptops do not allow unlimited Internet navigation?a cyber-surfing block in place to prevent students from accessing inappropriate websites or wasting time on Facebook. ?

The free, island-wide wireless connection is made possible by Amnet telecommunications, which has installed four large transmission towers in the urban centers of Ometepe, as well as 32 smaller antenna points at all the primary schools.

All teachers were also given laptops installed with teacher-training programs, to help them stay a step ahead?or at least on pace?with the children.

According to the Zamora Ter?n Foundation, each laptop will benefit six people?the average size of a Nicaraguan household.

?This is something that is very important for the children and population of our island?a day for the history pages of Ometepe,? Aurora Elena Alvarez, vice mayor of Altagracia, told The Nicaragua Dispatch. ?First we become an UNESCO island biosphere reserve, and now a digital island.?

Since 2009, the Zamora Ter?n Foundation?an organization dedicated to helping children from low socioeconomic backgrounds receive the tools they need for a quality education?has implemented the ?One Laptop Per Child Program? in 12 departments of Nicaragua. To date, the foundation has handed out a total of 26,000 XO laptops throughout Nicaragua, in communities in Managua, Masaya, Chontales, Carazo, Le?n, Boaco, Chinandega, Matagalpa, Rivas, the RAAN and the RAAS.

The goal is to handout 500,000 laptops by the year 2015, in an effort to help Nicaragua meet its Millennium Development Goals.

The XO laptop program is considered exemplary in the world.

Were authorities right to take big cats away from 'Tarzan'? | Pet Pro ...

Steve Sipek

Steven Sipek of Loxahatchee loves his tigers and leopards, but they bring him no end of trouble. On Monday he found himself briefly jailed and his three big cats seized, the latest in a long series of disputes with state and federal wildlife authorities.?

It turns out Sipek, known during his acting career as the ?Spanish Tarzan,? had had a federal permit revoked that allowed him to keep the cats. State officials cited numerous ?caging deficiencies? and pointed to a history of animal escapes and bites. A state wildlife official said Sipek ?lived among them and they lived among him.??

Sipek, who attracted international media attention in 2004 when his pet tiger ?Bobo? escaped and was shot dead by a state wildlife officer, says he worries for his cats and will fight in court to get them back.?

Should authorities have taken away Sipek?s big cats? What do you think?
