Engagement ‘on the cards’ for Britney Spears


One celebrity who may soon be looking into wedding insurance is Britney Spears, following reports Jason Trawick is planning to propose.

In an interview with Radar Online, a source claimed the 39-year-old has been browsing high-end designer jewellery stores for the perfect ring.

The insider stated: “He has been everywhere from Tiffany to Harry Winston looking for a ring.”

However, it was suggested Trawick is intending to select a “classy” band, with a diamond “under four carats”.

“Dont expect anything too massive or obnoxious,” the source added.

Spears, who is no stranger to marriage, may be keen to accept the proposal as a family friend recently told the news source the couple talk about getting hitched “all the time”.

The Womaniser singer first tied the knot in 2004 in a Las Vegas wedding chapel where she exchanged vows with her childhood friend Jason Alexander.

She later went on to have the union annulled and then wed her backing dancer Kevin Federline.

Why is SR22 insurance more expensive if I already had full coverage?

What is driving up the cost of your insurance is the violation that resulted in the requirement to file SR22 insurance. Usually a state will require that you file SR22 insurance if you’ve:
• Had a DUI
• Been driving without insurance
• Are a habitual offender
• Reinstating your license after a suspension

All of the above are classed as high-risk behaviors or are the result of you being a high-risk driver. Therefore, the insurance company increases your premium to reflect that fact.

Including evangelical Christians in U.S. foreign aid discussion

“Washington is in an era of budget-cutting, so we frequently hear calls to shrink or eliminate U.S. foreign-assistance programs,” which is why “several religious groups … are highlighting how these programs reduce global poverty and hunger, saving millions of lives,” Richard Stearns, president of World Vision USA, writes in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece. However, he says “evangelical Christians [are] largely absent from this religious coalition” and notes that “a Pew survey earlier this year found that 56 percent of evangelicals think ‘aid to the world’s poor’ should be the first thing cut from the federal budget.”

“Americans should understand that foreign aid strengthens democracy” and saves lives, Stearns writes, noting the successes of PEPFAR, the President’s Malaria Initiative, and Feed the Future. He continues, “One objection that I often hear from evangelicals is that while aid is good, it is not the government’s job. Yes, individuals and churches play a vital role in aid and development. But governments play a unique and vital role that private organizations cannot” because of smaller budgets. Stearns concludes, “We cannot let others suffer simply because times are tough in the U.S. All Americans must understand the urgency of the human need and the effectiveness of our government’s aid programs” .

    Roseman: Why our accident benefits system may be the worst

    A police officer photographs the wreckage of a collision at the corner of Bellamy Rd. and Brimorton Dr. in Scarborough  in this  2008 file photo.

    In just one second, your life can be turned upside down by a motor vehicle accident.

    Whether you’re driving, cycling or walking, you’re a heartbeat away from a serious injury and a fight with an insurer to cover your medical treatments.

    You probably don’t realize how little you get in statutory accident benefits under your auto insurance policy.

    Ontario has a $1 million limit on medical and rehabilitation claims for those with catastrophic injuries. But they make up only one per cent of the 65,000 Ontarians injured in car accidents each year.

    Almost 20 per cent of accident victims have severe noncatastrophic injuries. Their benefits are capped at $50,000, down from $100,000 before the reforms came in.

    The remaining 80 per cent of accident victims with so-called minor injuries — such as whiplash, strains and sprains — get only $3,500 in medical benefits (down from $100,000 before).

    Ontario’s car insurance reforms, forcing you to pay more for less coverage, didn’t become a high-profile issue in the last election. That’s a shame.

    In a column on Oct. 5, I said the Ontario government had betrayed the trust of motorists and failed to protect them from inflated insurance costs. This drew widespr

    ‘I didn’t dream it!’ tweets Myleene Klass after wedding


    Myleene Klass kept her wedding plans well under wraps, but even she could not resist telling her fans on Friday that she has tied the knot. The TV presenter shared the news with fans via her Twitter page saying ‘I didn’t dream it! My husband and I.’ and attached a lovely photo of herself and beau Graham Quinn in their wedding attire. Most celebrities share the whole build up to their wedding day with their fans, but Myleene chose to do it her way. The nuptials were witnessed by only 16 attendees present – all friends and family – at the private ceremony in Norwich. Myleene Klass and Graham Quinn have been together since 2001 as the couple met while Quinn was a security guard for Klass’ former pop band Hear’Say. The couple got engaged in 2005, but had to postpone their wedding as their first child Ava was born in 2008 and baby Hero seven months ago. Both of their little girls were bridesmaids at their parents’ wedding and Myleene looked stunning in her Kate Halfpenny wedding gown paired with a full length lace-trimmed veil. Later on, Klass tweeted again: ‘Just Married!!!X’. It is refreshing to see celebrities keeping their wedding day a private affair instead of selling it to whichever magazines pays the most for exclusive photos. We wish them all th

    Fisker Got Half-Billion Dollar Government Loan, But Offshores Manufacturing

    Theres no doubt the Fisker Karma is a gorgeous car. And as an extended-range electric vehicle , it offers spirited performance while providing the equivalent of 100 miles per gallon.

    It employs a powertrain similar to that in the Chevrolet Volt, meaning that although theres an electric motor, it can also operate on gasoline. Once the range of electrical power has been exhausted, a driver can then switch over to a gasoline engine to keep on going, meaning worries about becoming stranded arent exactly worries at all.

    While electric vehicles are still searching for a mass market with typical consumers, those with money and fame, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore and Colin Powell have lined up to preorder the American-designed EV.

    Fisker has proven so popular, that they were given loan guarantees of $529 million dollars from the Obama administration. Vice President Biden said during the unveiling of the loan that Fisker was a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs.

    And we wish we could agree with that statement, and certainly would be more inclined to do so, had Fisker set up manufacturing in the shuttered General Motors factory in Delaware they initially pegged to produce the car.

    Instead, Fisker has moved to offshore and outsource production of their automobiles to Finland, employing 500 Finnish workers to produce their cars.  H

    Health, medicine used by Israel as ‘instrument of control’ over Palestinian people

    InthisLancet opinion piece, Ruchama Marton, president and founder of Physicians for Human Rights – Israel writes, “Everything one can say about the health-care system in Palestine was summed up by the physician and political leader Haidar Abdel-Shafi … in September, 1993. He said: ‘We cannot take care of health and education as long as we live under occupation.’”

    She writes, “Now, as the Palestinian Authority waits to hear whether the U.N. Security Council will back its bid for full membership, the situation is much the same. Israel has used health and medicine as an instrument of control and oppression of the Palestinian people and leadership in the occupied Palestinian territory,” adding, “There is no way that a future Palestinian state … can handle the health-care system if the Israeli occupation and control continues” .
