Pirates' Cole wins 4th straight to start career
Hellweg shelled in major league debut
Gerrit Cole overcame a rocky start to become the first Pirates pitcher to win his first four career starts in more than a century and Starling Marte missed the cycle a few feet short of a home run in Pittsburgh's 10-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
Cole (4-0) gave up three runs in the first inning but no more as he made it through six innings, allowing eight hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Nick Maddox started 4-0 in his first four starts in 1907.
Johnny Hellweg (0-1) failed to get out of the second inning in his major league debut, giving up seven runs - five earned - in 1 2-3 innings.
Marte had a double and triple among his three hits, and just missed a homer in the eighth when he flied out to deep center field.
Andrew McCutchen had three hits, including his ninth home run, and three RBIs for Pittsburgh. Pedro Alvarez added two hits and Neil Walker hit a two-run double to start a seven-run second inning in which the Pirates sent 12 batters to the plate.
Alvarez extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
Ryan Reid pitched three scoreless innings for his first career save.
Carlos Gomez, who missed the previous three games with a sprained right shoulder, had two hits for the Brewers. Jean Segura and Juan Francisco also had two hits apiece. Rickie Weeks ran his hitting streak to 13 games.
Walker's double got the Pirates to 3-2, scoring Garrett Jones and Alvarez, who led off with singles.
The Pirates then loaded the bases as Hellweg walked Travis Snider and Cole around a groundout by Jordy Mercer. Marte then singled home Walker with the tying run.
The Pirates went ahead when Russell Martin followed by hitting a grounder up the middle that Segura, the shortstop, misplayed for an error, allowing Snider and Cole to score. McCutchen and Alvarez followed with RBI singles to knock the 6-foot-9 Hellweg from the game.
Milwaukee acquired Hellweg and Segura, who leads the National League with 104 hits, last July from the Los Angeles Angles in a trade for ace pitcher Zack Greinke. Hellweg was 7-4 with a 2.82 ERA in 14 starts with Triple-A Nashville this season.
The Brewers jumped on Cole for three quick runs.
A walk to Norichika Aoki and singles by Segura and Gomez loaded the bases and Aramis Ramirez walked to force in a run. A second run scored when Jonathan Lucroy grounded into a double play and Francisco capped the inning with an RBI single.
However, the 3-0 lead held up only for one inning and the Pirates added on runs following their seven-run second. Marte hit an RBI double in the third and tripled in the sixth and scored on McCutchen's double. McCutchen homered off Michael Gonzalez in the eighth.
NOTES: Brewers 1B Corey Hart will miss the season. He is scheduled to have surgery to repair cartilage damage in his left knee July 26. Hart has been on the disabled list all season after having right knee surgery in January. . Snider left the game after six innings with a bruised right foot. . Milwaukee activated RHP Hiram Burgos from the 15-day disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville. . The Pirates recalled INF/OF Josh Harrison from Triple-A Indianapolis and optioned C Tony Sanchez to the same club. . Milwaukee RHP Donovan Hand (0-0, 2.37) faces Pittsburgh LHP Francisco Liriano (6-3, 2.30) on Saturday night.

NEW YORK CITY (CNN) -- Joselyn Martinez was 9 when her father was shot and killed outside his New York City restaurant in 1986.
Nearly three decades later, she may finally see justice for his death. And she has herself to thank.
Her family's tragedy started on November 22 1986, when her father, Jose Martinez, had an altercation with a few customers at a restaurant he owned with his wife.
The fight moved outside the restaurant and got physical, according to the New York Police Department. One of the customers, then 16-year-old Justo Santos, allegedly produced a firearm and shot Martinez in the chest.
When Joselyn awoke the next morning, her father was dead.
"Reading the paper for him in Spanish," Joselyn said of her favorite memories of her father. "He would tell me to read the paper for him and I would sit with him and read the paper in Spanish."
Case closed
After the killing, the NYPD received information that Santos had run to the Dominican Republic and was incarcerated there for murder, and the case was closed in 1988, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said.
A year after Santos was imprisoned, he was released from the Dominican Republic prison. But the New York case remained closed.
"They should not have closed the case," NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said Tuesday. "(It) should have been looked at to see if there was additional information as to whether or not he was out of jail."
Martinez grew up and eventually went to school to study law and Latin American studies, a path she later left for a career as a singer and actress, she says.
Law lessons
In one of her law classes, she learned that there were no statutes of limitation on homicides. She decided to take another look at her father's case.
About 10 years after the shooting, she said, she went to the NYPD's 34th precinct. But she was told that the case was closed and the suspect had fled.
"You let it go, but not really," she said. "Because November comes around, when is the anniversary of his death, and I just get upset."
In 2006, inspired by a book, Martinez wrote down a list of things that were bothering her.
"I said well, I put that in there," she said about never finding her father's killer.
"And I was nervous about it because I was like, 'wow, once I write it I have to admit it.' And I hated admitting it because that meant that I was going to have to live with the possibility of this not coming about."
'Don't ever forget that name'
But Martinez scoured the Internet, reading stories and using MySpace, among other sites, to look for Santos.
She saved pictures and information she thought could lead to Santos' discovery. Martinez said she spent less than $300 on sites that conduct background checks to find his current location.
"My family told me, don't ever forget that name," she said.
In November last year, Martinez went looking for her father's file in the 34th precinct cold case division. And in January, she went back to the police chief at the precinct and presented her case.
She worked with police and they eventually located Santos in Miami. He was arrested and detained by Miami-Dade Police on Thursday, and police sources said he confessed to Jose Martinez's murder.
New York detectives are in Miami and plan to bring Santos back to New York on Friday.
The arrest would never have happened without her, according to the NYPD.
"She's the person most responsible for finding her father's killer," Browne said. "She did outstanding work."
Martinez said the police were quick to respond to the information she gathered and were extremely helpful when she went to them.
"It took a team effort," Martinez said.
Her mother, Idalia Martinez, beamed with pride after the arrest.
"I am thankful to God and to my daughter for never resting and didn't care for how many years," she said.

Rollei Astroklar Night Pollution Filter 49 mm circular photo filter
- Effectively reduces light pollution during darkness
- Manufactured from high-quality optical glass
- Double-sided nanocoating
- Prevents reflections
- Water, oil and dirt-repellent
- Neutral behaviour within the infrared light range
The phenomenon of ever-increasing light pollution doesn't only adversely affect the quality of night-time city and architectural photographs but also scientific astrophotography in urban population centres, where it can feel impossible to capture the night sky as a result. Therefore, large reflector telescopes are located on mountain summits and islands or in deserted areas without perceptible light pollution. "Normal" professional and amateur photographers can now use the new Rollei Astroklar Round Filter to reduce the unwanted effect of light pollution, giving their photographs more contrast and clarity as a reult.
Works reliably against light pollution…
{0>Owing to a special coating, the new Rollei Astroklar Round Filter reduces unwanted yellow and orange light components to a large extent and ensures that even difficult structures and transitions are still reasonably represented and don't stand out. The starlit night sky and illuminated building panoramas gain considerably in contrast and definition. Even extremely distant, barely visible stars can appear clearly in an astrophotograph. Choose between four common lens diameters for astrophotography and urban night-time shots; the Rollei Astroklar Round Filter is available in 39, 40.5, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, 77, 82, 86, 95 and 105 mm formats.
Because of the special anti-light pollution coating, while using your Astroklar filter, your photographs capture a slightly cooler light component than that taken without. To ensure correct tone in your images, you should therefore use a manual white balance when you work with the Astroklar filter in order to take counteractive measures where necessary. Our recommendation: select a colour temperature between +700 K and +1,500 K of the white balance that was accomplished without a filterin order to obtain authentic colours in the final result.
… and steadily repels water, oil and dirt.
The new Rollei Astroklar Round Filter is designed for everyday use, with a sophisticated, double-sided nanocoating of high-quality, optical glass. This coating continuously reduces undesired light reflections, which can ruin your whole shot, especially in the case of long exposures at night. The protective layer also repels dirt, oil, and water and you can simply remove any residue with a quick wipe of your cleaning cloth. The anti-light pollution coating of the Astroklar round filters leads to a reduction of light transmission of a 2/3 aperture increment/f-stop. Regardless of whether you use the filter individually or in combination with other lenses, the use of a tripod and a wired or a wireless release guarantees that not only can you record high-contrast, detailed astrophotographs or subjects at night, but you can also save razor-sharp images on the memory card of your camera.

[MWC2010] We all know about the gender gap in incomes, but I was very surprised to learn that there is a significant gender imbalance in mobile connectivity as well… Today, GSMA and the Cherie Blair Foundation published their 'Women & Mobile: A Global Opportunity' Report , the first detailed global study of its kind. The report was mainly focused to understand the nature of women mobile subscribers in low and middle-income countries such as Kenya and India, and highlights the barriers facing women's adoption of mobile technologies. It also shows that enabling more women to own a mobile phone would stimulate social and economic growth significantly.
Key findings show that:
- There are 300 million fewer female subscribers than male subscribers worldwide
- A woman is 21% less likely to own a phone than a man in low and middle-income countries – 23% in Africa, 24% in the Middle East, and 37% in South Asia
- Regionally, the incremental annual revenue opportunity for operators ranges from US$740M in Latin America to US$4B in East Asia
- Going forward, two thirds of potential new subscribers for mobile network operators will be women
- Women in rural areas and lower income brackets stand to benefit the most from closing the gender gap
- 93% of women report feeling safer because of their mobile phone
- 85% of women report feeling more independent because of their mobile phone
- 41% of women report having increased income and professional opportunities once they own a phone
- Women account for 750 million of the 1.25 billion adults in low and middle-income countries who have mobile phone coverage, but don't have a handset
- If operators bring mobile phone penetration among women on a par with penetration among men, this report shows they would collectively earn US$13 billion in additional revenues each year
- Previous research by Deloitte has shown that a 10% increase in mobile phone penetration rates is linked to an increase in developing country GDP by 1.2%

For race use only. Not admitted in the area of the German StVZO!
"You can't beat cubes" This scale this 68cc cast iron cylinder produced by MALOSSI is an absolutely reliable, performance orientated system, designed for everyday road use is genuine proof of this wisdom. Up to 10 PS power output @ 10.000 rpm ensures a quick and relaxed riding experience. Along with the, very useful, increase in cc the revised port timings combined with an enlarged exhaust outlet ensure noticeably more torque across the entire rev range. The result of a comparison to the performance of the OE cylinder is like the difference between night and day. Even the normally subdued reporters at the German scooter mag. 'Motoretta' referred to it as a "tuning revelation".
Cast iron / 47mm bore / 6 transfer ports / 9,500 – 10,700 rpm
Enlarged exhaust outlet, optimised port timing, higher compression ratio, the peripheral components such as the exhaust, carb and the overall gearing also deserve an upgrade in combination with this conversion kit. Top speeds of up to 95 kph are possible.
SIP-TIP : Do not forget to order lighter variator roller-weights, a new spark plug, a modified exhaust manifold and an 8-12 % larger main jet. Ideally a 17.5mm carb, a taller overall gear ratio and a sport orientated exhaust system should also be included to fully exploit this kits potential.

UnNews:Military seeks to accommodate all religious faiths
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
15 November 2009
SAN FRANCISCO, California -- Newly-resurrected Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey announced this morning that he will actively assist the Pentagon in bolstering recruitments in the armed forces.
Says General Sidney Calumet of the Pentagons office of recruitment, "It's not unusual that we'd ask for the help of a religious figure in the defense of our country. Since his return from Hell, Mr. LeVey has become the go-to man for Satanists of all stripes."
Historically, the United States has been happy to push the idea of , "Service to God and country". "The Army's gotten it's fair share of cannon fodder from appealing to the religious side of the average American," says, Colonel Pugnas DeSantos of the Army Recruitment Headquarters in Fort Benning, Georgia. "Atheists and agnostics are not so pliable, but there's nothing wrong with having a devoted minion of Satan doing our dirty work in Iraq, now, is there?"
LeVey was exhumed on November 4, 2009, in a ceremony inspired by Satan himself. He told UnNews, "The Dark Lord himself commanded me to arise and serve. Who am I to disagree?"
Washingtons biggest difficulty lies in finding enough Chaplains to serve the growing military Satanist community.

Ceramic cemetery
After seven years in the same house, the longest I have abided in one abode in my adult life, the urge to clean out the corners hit last week.
If you don't move for a while, things start to accumulate.
Things like trinkets. Doo-dads. Gadgets. Cords. Books. Boxes.
And ceramics.
Ceramics never die. As an enduring symbol of the 1970s, ceramics have outlasted polyester suits.
What are ceramics, those born since 1980 might ask?
Today, women make scrapbooks. Back in the 1970s, the crafty excuse for women to get together was to paint pre-molded ceramic statues of anything you could imagine and fire them in a kiln.
Nothing of any use came of ceramics class. It was nothing but a gabfest.
But ceramics classes in a few basements in the Upper Midwest did manage to fill all the other basements in the Upper Midwest with row upon row of sculptures that to this day need frequent dusting and de-webbing due to their glossy finish.
Each Christmas from 1972-1975 I was showered with ceramics from otherwise wonderful neighborhood women. Statuettes of Abraham Lincoln, of eagles, of a big boot.
Once I got a ceramic treasure chest. A dear nun who tried to teach me piano gave me a ceramic carriage.
I remember my disappointment when I tore open a box which contained a ceramic dog.
I would have much preferred a stuffed dog, one I could snuggle with at night.
Studies show that laboratory rats raised with a cold, hard ceramic dog in their cage are three times as likely to become an axe-murderer than rats raised in a cage with a soft, furry stuffed puppy.
Two decades later, my psychotherapist was about to give up on me.
Then he found out about the ceramic dog.
Things really moved along after I took a sledge-hammer to that dog. I am now well-adjusted, if a little cranky on cloudy days.
Yet, it never felt right to destroy the other ceramic doo-dads. Neighbor women near and dear to my heart gave them to me over the years. They all have passed on, so it feels irreverent to dispose of their gifts.
The afghans they crocheted eventually fell apart from use. So did the quilts. But the ceramics live on and on, serving no purpose but to gather cobwebs.
I now realize that the real purpose of ceramics class was not to come up with Christmas gifts for neighbor kids.
No, ceramics class was an excuse to get away from the old man one night per week for some good gossip!
With that purpose accomplished decades ago, I decided it was time to let go of the statues of ducks, boots and elves which gather dust on the hearth and every other flat surface throughout the house.
Yet, I couldn't just throw them out. The resounding thunk of those long-kept mementoes hitting the bottom of the dumpster might awaken some ghosts.
Here is where having a woods out back comes in so handy.
When you put something in the woods, you acknowledge that it has no further place in your daily life. You no longer have to dust it.
However, when you put an item in the woods, you do not have to admit to yourself or anybody else that you threw it out.
If you really need it someday, it will be there.
If you don't rediscover it, in five thousand years some archeologist will.
The little pothole out back is dried up this fall due to drought. With the water gone, the soft peat at the bottom of the pond is exposed.
What a perfect home for ceramic elves!
With little ceremony, I one-by-one tossed the statues high and deep towards the empty pond. I heard each hit the wet peat with a slap. None of them broke.
The doo-dads are safe there now, the elves and boots and the ceramic mug that I could never drink from because the paint was full of lead.
Also embedded in the swamp is the spotted ceramic frog that used to sit by the sink, mouth agape to hold the scrub sponge.
What better place for a ceramic frog than a swamp!
Future archeologists will probably assume that we worshipped the frog and the eagle, just as we assume that the junk in the tombs of Egypt has some significance.
Maybe the Egyptians were just cleaning house.
Rather than throw away their ceramic doo-dads and show disrespect to the women who made them in ceramics class, they tossed them in the pharaoh's tomb.
No need to dust them there!

Zeus (voiced by Joey Lawrence) is back, but this time, it ain't Santa and snow he's saving!
The Bannister family has just moved in to the neighborhood and are trying to get adjusted to suburban life: school, work, and the ever vigilant wacky set of neighbors they inherited with the house.
When Halloween rolls around, George Bannister (Gary Valentine) and Zeus notice something strange about their new next door neighbor-weird men delivering questionable packages at all hours of the night, odd behavior from their neighbor and his scary dog Medusa (voiced by Mayim Bialik), and not to mention a menacing green light coming from his attic at night!
Setting out to expose whatever dastardly plot his neighbor has in store, Gary enlists the help of two unlikely assistants, Ted (Dean Cain) and Stewey (Joey Diez), who are trying to give up their burglarizing ways (badly I might add) and go straight.
Will they find what's going on in the house next door before it's too late?

I'm not familiar with The Dog Who Saved franchise, but I was quite excited to be given the opportunity to review the movie!
When it comes to movies, I'm pretty much an equal opportunity person-I do have my favorite genres, but I try to give everything a watch before I pass my judgement.
I'm ashamed to say, I passed judgement on this movie too fast *hangs head in shame* I thought, since it was geared towards kids, it wasn't going to be that great with script and acting, but boy was I W.R.O.N.G! Not only is this a great kids movie, but it also has a lot of great material (writing, acting) to keep an adult entertained, which impressed me quite a bit!
I fell head over heels for Zeus the dog, which, by the way, I think someone on this movie was thinking when they got Joey to voice him because he was definitely the right choice to bring the character of Zeus to life :)
My boyfriend was also a fan of the movie as well-He said, and I quote, "It was really cute." Lol
All in all, definitely a movie I'm happy has been added to our collection! And now, you all have a chance to add it to yours as well :)

GOP Embraces Religious Freedom
Party Platform Contains Strong Plank
TAMPA, Fla. — The U.S. Republican Party included a significant section on the importance of religious freedom in its new official platform, adopted on Aug. 28 in Tampa, Fla.
"We pledge to respect the religious beliefs and rights of conscience of all Americans and to safeguard the independence of their institutions from government," stated the 2012 Republican platform, which was formally approved at the party's national convention Aug. 28.
The party's positions respect "God-given individual rights," including the freedom "of every American to follow his or her beliefs."
The importance of religious freedom can be seen in its prominent placement in the "first provision of the First Amendment," stated the platform.
It quoted the American founders, who believed that religion would be a critical element for the nation's success because "democracy presupposes a moral people."
The document also warned of current attempts to push religion "out of the public square," seen most prominently in efforts to force religious institutions and individuals to abandon their deeply held beliefs regarding health care, marriage and abortion.
This "forcible secularization of religious and religiously affiliated organizations" has been made more dangerous by "the current administration's audacity in declaring which faith-related activities are, or are not, protected by the First Amendment," it said.
Chief among religious-freedom concerns in America is a federal mandate that requires employers to offer health insurance that includes contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs, even if doing so violates their consciences.
The Republican Party officially approved language supporting "the ability of all organizations to provide, purchase or enroll in health-care coverage consistent with their religious, moral or ethical convictions without discrimination or penalty."
It further supported the right of citizens and faith-based organizations to fully participate in public life without sacrificing their convictions, and it called for increased conscience protection for health-care professionals.
The party also embraced protecting religious liberty overseas. It vowed to emphasize advocacy for this fundamental freedom and praised the work of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
In another area of concern to values voters, the 2012 Republican platform affirmed "the sanctity of human life" and endorsed a "human-life amendment" to the U.S. Constitution.
The party opposed the public funding of organizations that perform and promote abortions, both domestically and internationally, as well as euthanasia, assisted suicide and early abortion-inducing drugs. It encouraged "a ban on human cloning" and called for stem-cell research "without the destruction of embryonic human life."
Arguing that health-care coverage should be extended "to children before birth," the platform also applauded legislative efforts to restrict abortion and promote adoption and other life-affirming options for those facing difficult pregnancies.
While explaining that "all Americans should be treated with respect and dignity," the Republican Party also called for the defense and protection of marriage.
It acknowledged the critical role of marriage as an institution that provides "the foundation of civil society," shown to be important for "the rearing of children and the transmission of cultural values."
The platform expressed support for the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman for federal purposes and protects states from being forced to "recognize same-sex relationships licensed in other jurisdictions."
Although the law was passed in 1996, the Obama administration announced in 2011 that it would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court. Since "the future of marriage affects freedom," the Republican Party voiced its support for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to secure the definition of marriage.
Other planks in the GOP platform supported school choice through options such as vouchers and tax credits. The party encouraged "active prosecution against child pornography" and called for current laws on pornography "to be vigorously enforced."

AP Releases Oklahoma Election Guide (Nov 02, 2012)
Associated Press Oklahoma Election News Guide-
Q: What races will be on the Oklahoma ballot Tuesday?
A: Every ballot in Oklahoma will list the presidential race, a congressional race and six state questions. Depending on where voters live, they also will decide some state House, state Senate, and a number of local races.
Q: What new faces might I see?
A: Oklahoma will have at least two members of Congress after Tuesday's election.
In the 1st Congressional District that includes Tulsa and portions of some surrounding counties, Republican Jim Bridenstine knocked off five-term incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. John Sullivan in the June primary. Bridenstine, a Navy pilot from Tulsa, faces Democrat John Olson, a Tulsa small businessman and Army reservist. Independent Craig Allen also will appear on the ballot.
Voters also will elect a new congressman in the 2nd Congressional District that stretches across 26 eastern Oklahoma counties, from the Red River border with Texas to the state's border with Kansas. Republican Markwayne Mullin, a plumber from Westville, faces Democrat Rob Wallace, a longtime state and federal prosecutor from Fort Gibson, in the race to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, the only Democrat in the state's congressional delegation. Independent Michael Fulks of Heavener is also in the race.
Q: What about those ballot issues?
A: Oklahoma will have six state questions on the ballot: whether to lower the limit property valuation increases from 5 percent to 3 percent; whether to ban affirmative action programs in state government; whether to remove the governor from the parole process for certain nonviolent offenders; whether to allow the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to issue bonds; whether to abolish the governing body of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and allow the Legislature to replace it with new governing bodies; and whether to exempt certain intangible property, like patents or brand names, from property tax.
Q: What time do the polls open?
A: Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. If you are in line at 7 p.m., you will be allowed to vote.
Q: How do I find my polling place?
A: The Oklahoma State Election Board has a polling place locator on its website (www.ok.gov/elections ) where voters can enter their ZIP code to find their polling place. Voters without Internet access can call their local county election board to find their polling place.
Q: I had an absentee ballot mailed to me but haven't returned it yet. Am I too late?
A: No, but you better hurry. Absentee ballots must be returned to a voter's county election board before the polls close.
Q: I forgot to register to vote. Am I out of luck?
A: Sadly, yes. But if you register now you will be able to vote in the statewide elections of 2014.
Q: Do I need a photo ID to vote?
A: Voters must show either a valid state or federal identification card or the voter identification card that they received in the mail from the county election board when they registered to vote. Voters without one of these forms of identification may only vote by provisional ballot and sign an affidavit explaining why their provisional ballot should be counted.
Q: What's the weather forecast?
A: Early reports from the National Weather Service predict sunny skies, with little to no chance for rain, and temperatures at midday in the 60s and 70s.

A new study finds some surprising ways in which women's health at midlife is connected to when they had their first child and to their marital history. Researchers found that women who had their first child in their early 20s didn't report better health at midlife than those who had their first baby as a teen.
Kids with life-threatening illnesses need cutting-edge technology and medical expertise, but families face uneven access and paths to such care.
Subsidized campus childcare was hard-won and remains very effective, while budget cuts and the privatization of childcare threaten centers across the country.
Indian-American spellers are known for dominance on the national stage and even host regional, culturally specific bees. How did the niche emerge?
Even when married couples think childhood class differences are in the past, those factors shape how each spouse tackles tasks and allocates resources.
Drawing from cumulative inequality theory, we examine the relationship between childhood disadvantage and health problems in adulthood. Using two waves of data from Midlife Development in the United States, we investigate whether childhood disadvantage is associated with adult disadvantage, including fewer social resources, and the effect of lifelong disadvantage on health problems measured at the baseline survey and a 10-year follow-up.
Despite evidence that first-birth timing influences women's health, the role of marital status in shaping this association has received scant attention. Using multivariate propensity score matching, we analyze data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 to estimate the effect of having a first birth in adolescence (prior to age 20), young adulthood (ages 20–24), or later ages (ages 25–35) on women's midlife self-assessed health.
The article discusses alternative wedding ceremonies staged in urban spaces as a statement of protest among immigrant couples that cannot marry in rabbinical courts, because they are not recognized as Jews. These public weddings are organized and sponsored by the Fishka association of young Israeli adults of Russian origin.
Drawing from life course, social networks, and developmental social psychology scholarship, this article considers how advice transmission varies across age groups and examines the age-contingent associations between advice-giving and life meaning. Binomial and ordered logistic regression using the 2006 Portraits of American Life Study (n = 2,583) reveal that adults in their twenties are most likely to report offering advice to multiple social targets.
Despite growing acceptance of a "new fatherhood" urging fathers to be engaged in family life, men's relative contributions to housework and child care have remained largely stagnant over the past twenty years. Using data from in-depth interviews, we describe how identity processes may contribute to this persistent inequality in parenting. We propose that the specificity of men's identity standards for the father role is related to role-relevant behavior, and that the vague expectations many associate with "new fatherhood" both contribute to and result from men's underinvolvement.

Maria Killam gets my vote for being the most helpful blogger when it comes to picking paint colors -- a crucial decision for someone staging a home for sale. Can you tell she's passionate about color?
Photo: Jennifer Houghton
There's a ba-zillion decor blogs, and so many creative, inspiring, and instructive ones. You can't read them all. You have a house to stage!
These are my picks for the three blogs I would suggest to a homeowner putting her home on the market and wanting to stage it. If you think it was easy to narrow the field to three, you're crazy. My criteria focused on how seriously helpful the blog would be to someone relatively new to the design/decorating/staging process.
That meant it had to be practical in a nuts-and-bolts way.
It also had to be easy to read -- clear, concise, upbeat, and positive.
In no particular order, as they say on the Academy Awards...
Color Me Happy
Maria Killam personifies my idea of what a design blogger should be -- a teacher who is candid, intelligent and stylish. I always learn something from each post. And she doesn't dumb this stuff down. If you are one of her many devoted readers, you already know she's been blogging since 2008. That means there's an online archive you can use like a textbook for color selection when it comes to paint, furniture, textiles, accessories, tile, carpeting, appliances, or whatever.
Maria's talent is seeing colors and helping us see them, too.
She explains concepts like the importance of undertones, the difference between muddy and clear colors, the irrelevance of the color wheel, and the ambiguity of warm and cool color classifications.
She uses photos judiciously to illustrate complicated design decisions. Somehow, she's able to reduce puzzling dilemmas to solutions that work. She's Vancouver-based, but travels to do workshops and color consultations and to study. She's engrossed in the industry.
What else I like about the award-winning Color Me Happy is that Maria posts regularly, not sporadically. The site has a girly vibe to it, but she's never gushy or redundant. There are no typos or multiple exclamation point series here, like this!!!! Which drive me nuts.
Although she's light-hearted, she's very serious and ambitious about her career, and she shares that side of her life with us, admitting her own foibles along the way. So refreshing.
Although many of her color choices are bold for home staging, her love of color is contagious. Hang out with Maria and you're bound to get over your fear of choosing colors for your staged home.
Young House Love
They're devoted to doing it themselves, and although they're feeling their way, making it up as they go along, they have more creativity and energy between them than most of us have in our left big toe.
They've spent the past few years turning a simple ranch house in Virginia into a one-of-a-kind home anyone would want. Their house sold in two days after listing with MLS, at a price they liked.
Now they've moved and are feathering their new, bigger nest, and taking us all along for the ride. They make all the work they do look like fun.
What you'll learn from reading their blog is a confidence that "if they can do it, I can do it." It's that mindset that is necessary to the success of DIY home staging. Without it, you'll never begin.
From these two, you'll learn that there are no hard and fast rules about how to update a room, choose a rug, arrange bookshelves, organize a closet, or save on remodeling money.
Although they can be wordy, all the details are there, and all the jokes and tangents and photos and links and videos as well.
Sherry and John give you all the nitty-gritty on each and every project -- where they bought the supplies, how long the project took, what mistakes they made and how they corrected them. Hey, over 9,000 Twitter followers can't be wrong.
Their site's won numerous awards. And Nate Berkus put them on his show, so they are officially DIY stars.
I regularly visit Young House Love, and always get my hit of imaginative decorating that doesn't break the bank.
Laura Casey Interiors
What I appreciate most about Laura Casey's blog is the eye candy she loads into it. But there's more than pretty pictures here.
An interior designer with impressive credentials, Laura seems to be at home in all kinds of circumstances -- doing budget remodels, hobnobbing with the design world honchos, tackling an extensive kitchen refit, updating a living room, sprucing up a foyer, or just kicking back in home base, Charlotte, North Carolina.
I also like that she doesn't waste a reader's time with superfluous writing.
Each post is centered around a single topic. Her writing is to the point. She doesn't spend words when a picture will do, and I like that. She's obviously knowledgeable about history, architecture, and gardening as well.
The best part is that Laura's generous in passing along her understanding of trends, history, art, and good design.
Her taste is impeccable, just the kind of person a beginner wants holding her hand.
But it's really the carefully chosen photographs that will be the most help to a home stager who's educating her eye about proportions, colors, styles, furniture placement, fabrics, window treatments, lighting, accessories, or floor coverings.
Some of these shots take my breath away!
Not all of Laura's selections will be appropriate to home staging. Remember that good style is good style no matter what era or budget. You'll just have to edit the rooms down to their stage-worthiness.
Let Laura sharpen your eye on your way to creating a marketable home. Thanks, Laura, for sharing so much of what you've learned and what you do. Photo: Sean Busher Photography, Inc.

October 24, 2002
Twining and Company,
Greensboro, NC 27406
Last evening, the general membership of the Philolexian Society,
Columbia University's student organization dedicated to improving
the rhetorical skills and literary awareness of its members, voted
to name Twinings English Breakfast Tea the official tea of the
society. We make this designation in recognition of the outstanding
contributions to American literature made by the promoters of
Twinings products. Few epithets so aptly characterize our society
as the description of your English Breakfast Tea, which reads:
"A full-bodied blend in the English style. An ideal 'wake-up'
The Philolexian Society has long striven to awaken the greater
university community to the majesty of intellectual debate, and
draws much inspiration from the hallowed traditions of Merry Olde
England. Verily, Philolexians represent a full-bodied brew of
highbrow culture; any scholarly congregation worth its tea leaves
demands a beverage as fine as Twinings English Breakfast Tea.
Like a good black tea, we Philolexians strive to protect the body
from the damage caused by harmful free radicals such as the ISO
and the Parliamentary Debate Society. While our cunning wits and
befuddling advertisements generally serve us well in this venture,
nothing could prove a finer companion in the crusade against such
infidels as a tea containing the flavonoid antioxidants so naturally
abundant in your invigorating and refreshing beverage.
I have been charged with the duty of informing you of this designation,
which we hope you will deem an honor. Though the Philolexian Society,
established in 1802, is Columbia's oldest student organization,
and one of the oldest literary societies in the country, it has
never before seen fit to name an official tea. The undeniable
kindred spirit between your company and our society, manifest
in Twinings English Breakfast Tea, drove us to break all precedent
in this case. We hope that it will also facilitate friendly contact
between us in the future. I thank you for your patience and wish
you a pleasant fall.

Nomenclaturist General

USPS wishes to update designated operators of UPU member countries on the status of USPS operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
Thanks to the heroic efforts of many, mail service continues to increase across Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. As mail arrives from the U.S. mainland and is transported and processed across the islands, postal employees are out in full force providing customers with mail and retail services in postal facilities that were not significantly damaged by Hurricane Maria. Where offices are damaged, nearby locations have been designated for customers to pick up mail. Carriers have begun to deliver where it is safe to do so.
Electrical power has not been fully restored, and operations continue to be affected. USPS will provide additional updates when available.

According to Peter Moore, president of EA Sports, Electronic Arts will reign supreme in 2008. Despite the recent high-profile merger of Activision and Blizzard, Moore is confident that EA's games will propel it back to the top as the number one third-party publisher in the world. "Consumers get a chance to vote at the cash registers, and what we're seeing is that our games are as popular as ever," Moore told MCV, "this is an area in which Activision-Blizzard really can't compete with us."
One of the ways EA plans to accomplish this is through Moore's own EA Sports division. "We need to globalize, and we're taking many steps to broaden the appeal of our product portfolio," Moore explained, "We're committed to testing the elasticity of our brand. We have a number of concepts in development that will start to evolve the EA Sports experience to something that still appeals to the hardcore but is less intimidating to casual gamers."
Despite the changes EA might be making, the creation of Activision-Blizzard has proven that it is a force to be reckoned with. Activision was able to turn out some of 2007's biggest hits, while Blizzard owns the most lucrative franchise in gaming today.

When speaking of type of work we have to stay within the guidelines our insurance providers set. Workman's comp for example. We want to make sure no employee is doing something they are not physically able to do. Most of the time the agencies will help us with this but we will monitor it as well. I don't think we will have anyone out cutting down trees for firewood. However, stacking it isn't outside the job description of some of the employees here.
When speaking of who they can work for, I feel it should be for the benefit of the community however, this can be open to interpretation, so I told them to bring examples to me and we will decide. Working for the food bank is a no brainer "yes". Working for another business in town for free most likely will be a "no". Helping an individual that can't do things around the home for some reason is a "yes" or maybe giving them a ride somewhere when they have no car or can't drive would be a "yes".
We want this program to be around for the long term. We have weekly meetings to make sure everything is going well and we are moving in the right direction. Sharing our experiences really keeps the excitment alive.

Just Henry
1h, 20m 2011
n 1950 15-year old Henry Dodge lives with his mother Maureen and her new husband Bill. Encouraged by his embittered,meddling paternal grandmother, Henry refuses to accept Bill and wishes to keep alive the memory of his father Joey,a decorated Dunkirk hero,killed by a deserter during an air raid. After new class-mate Grace and kindly school teacher Mrs Beaumont have persuaded Henry to forgive Paul Jeffries,the deserter's son, Joey appears,claiming to have lost his memory and anxious to get his family back. But Grace is right to be suspicious of him as Maureen tells her son what a brute the man was as a husband and it turns out that he is a criminal on the run and a liar who has allowed another family to bear the shame that it is his. When Joey abducts Henry and his mother the boy is forced to grow up fast and stand up to him whilst protecting Maureen and bringing another child into the world.

The Congenital Muscle Disease International Registry (CMDIR) was created in 2009 to identify the global congenital muscle disease population for the purpose of raising awareness, standards of care, assisting with enrollment in clinical trials, and in the future finding treatments or cures. To date, we have over 2,600 registrants from 80 countries.
We will not be successful in finding a treatment or cure unless we know
who the affected individuals are,
what the diagnosis is
and how the disease is affecting the individual.
You do not have to be diagnosed with a specific muscle disorder to register. We welcome everyone with congenital or later onset muscle weakness to register, and can provide information on institutions who perform genetic testing, the names of medical providers who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of muscle disease, and community support groups to put you in touch with others affected by a muscle disorder.
The following subtypes are followed in our registry, and include the full spectrum from early (congenital) through late onset. Click here to view the list of genes associated with these disorders.

Consensus: Technology acceptance must come before 9 billion people can be fed
Writer: Kay Ledbetter, 806-677-5608, email@example.com
Julie Borlaug, 214-597-1009
CHILLICOTHE – Feeding 9 billion people by 2050 will require scientific and technological advances in the area of agriculture, and that might include tools that lack acceptance by the general public at this time, according to speakers at the recent Rolling Plains Spring Field Day.
The field day, held recently at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research station near Chillicothe, featured Julie Borlaug, granddaughter of the late Dr. Norman Borlaug, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate known internationally as the "Father of the Green Revolution."
Borlaug, external relations director of the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M University, spoke as well as moderated a wheat seed industry panel consisting of: Jon Rich with AgriPro-Syngenta in Junction City, Kansas; Marla Barnett with Limagrain Cereal Seeds in Wichita, Kansas; Sid Perry with WestBred-Monsanto in Filer, Idaho; and Janet Lewis with Bayer CropScience in Lincoln, Nebraska.
"March 25 was my grandfather's birthday and many people have asked me if he was here today what would his message be about how we are going to feed 9 billion people by 2050," Borlaug said. "I think he would probably tell you there are three areas we need to be concerned about."
The first area of concern would be involving the next generation, she said.
"It's important for us to continue to train the next generation of agricultural scientists," Borlaug said. "We need to engage students; we need to engage those even outside of agriculture, because it is going to take people from various backgrounds across different disciplines to help figure out how to feed 9 billion people."
This challenge – feeding the world – will require new economic and political policies, new rounds of innovation and technology advancements in engineering, medicine, energy, but most importantly agriculture, she said.
This challenge will depend on the actions of the next generation of entrepreneurs – scientists, researchers, policymakers and farmers. These are the people she said her grandfather called his "hunger fighters."
These hunger fighters must embrace technological innovation, creativity, bold ideas and collaborate across all disciplines, while effectively engaging smallholder farmers and the private and public sectors to come up with sustainable solutions, Borlaug said.
"So we need to continue to reinvest in that and move our next generation forward, so they will become the next Norm Borlaugs and leaders in agriculture," she said.
The second thing he would talk about is the role of the public and private sector, she said. The need for funding and advancements in research and development, biotechnology and other components is important.
"We need to re-engage the funding entities and those outside of agriculture to understand why their support is so important," Borlaug said. "We are going to need a lot of technology and improvements to feed 9 billion people, especially with climate change and scarce natural resources."
The third thing, she said, is something her grandfather was really concerned with toward the end of his life and has become a much larger problem now, and that is "the misunderstanding and misinformation that's spread about agriculture." She said it mainly comes from the anti-science, anti-GMO groups who don't understand the role of biotechnology in agriculture.
Borlaug said her grandfather was known to say "fear of change is the greatest obstacle to progress."
The ag sector needs to start addressing the public differently, she said. The messaging needs to change to help them understand why it is so important to support innovation in agriculture and technology and even the role of biotechnology.
"It is no longer enough to just have collective support of the research and private sector. We must gain the support of the general public in order to move agricultural research forward."
Borlaug said that often arguments against these advancements are mainly emotional rather than rational, and they resonate because it fuels the anti-corporate mentality.
But she asks people to recall the GMO golden rice crop in the Philippines: "Do you as biotech opponents really want to deny golden rice to those children who could so profoundly benefit? Are you willing to condemn them to blindness and death out of your own ignorance? I say out of your opposition, you are somewhat responsible for their vitamin A deficiency and blindness."
That is not to say biotechnology will single-handedly erase world hunger, Borlaug added, "but we must understand that a multi-faceted integrated solution is needed."
Part of that will include new trends in wheat breeding, which has only recently seen a greater investment of research dollars, according to the breeders' panel moderated by Borlaug.
Wheat is probably the most important food crop in the world, Perry said. It is time for the private breeding industry to reinvest time and energy in the crop.
"What's happened over the years is that in the U.S., wheat has not been looked upon as a high staple crop like corn and soybeans," Rich said.
He identified lower costs of molecular markers and the ability to find them more rapidly, allowing "speed breeding" to bring greater yields, as the positive things that have driven the investment into cereal grains such as wheat.
"I think it has largely been customer-driven – seedsmen and farmer driven," Barnett said. "We've seen the demand for wheat yields to be increased. Farmers have long been asking,"Why am I still getting the same wheat yields my grandfather got while my corn yields have tripled?"
Perry said the industry has learned a lot of tricks from corn, soybeans, cotton and canola that can be applied to wheat.
Currently, there are no genetically modified wheats anywhere on the market, but that is a direction, along with hybrid wheat, that is expected to take place in the near future. Acceptance, however, will be necessary, the wheat breeder panelists agreed.
"Most people don't know what GMO means; they don't know that GMO is a technique, a tool that can be used in the breeding toolbox," Lewis said. "There is a lot of confusion on what GMO is, and it has been a slow process of education for the general public. There is a perception issue."
The breeders agreed they will look at both GMO and non-GMO solutions to issues and the non-GMO alternative will be taken, if there is one, because it is much cheaper. Nitrogen use efficiency, heat tolerance and water use efficiency are traits being worked on.
"We have a skeptical public, which is okay; but we also have a gullible public, which is discouraging," Perry said. "They are willing to accept the popular view on something rather than scientific research. So take every opportunity to educate the people around you."
Rich said GMO acceptance will be more likely when related to areas of food safety.
"It's an emotional issue to a lot of people, and an education issue," he said. "We need to educate the people on what GMO traits can do and how we can feed people correctly. We can reduce the amount of pesticides; we can reduce the amount of nitrogen we put in the soil; we can reduce the amount of irrigation we have to apply to get those maximum yields."
In the end, Barnett said, it will need to be a trait that has direct effect to the pocketbook – of both the consumer and the producer – by making a loaf of bread cheaper and the production cheaper for the farmer.
"It's a real luxury here in the U.S. as long as our bellies are full and food is cheap, we can complain about having GMOs in our products," Perry said. "But that is a real disservice to others in the world who don't have that luxury. I don't know how we can get that across to our public; a lot of it is in their hands."

The storm in the television teapot that was the Rick Sanchez-Jon Stewart affair seems to have come to a temporary end with ex- CNN anchor Sanchez apologizing for his "inartful comments."
This came in the aftermath of Sanchez calling Stewart a "bigot" on a radio program and making anti-Semitic comments, which led to Sanchez's hasty dismissal last week.
Sanchez was entirely remorseful when he broke his silence in a statement following the brief national outcry about his comments and made clear he had apologized to Stewart personally.
"On Oct. 4, I had a very good conversation with Jon Stewart, and I had the opportunity to apologize for my inartful comments from last week," Sanchez said, according to E! news. "I sincerely extend this apology to anyone else whom I may have offended."
"Despite what my tired and mangled words may have implied, they were never intended to suggest any sort of narrow-mindedness and should never have been made," he added.
Sanchez even had good things to say about his former workplace of CNN which fired him (or decided to "part ways" with as Sanchez said artfully in his statement).
"I want to go on record to say that I have nothing but the highest regard for CNN and for my six wonderful years with them," he says. "I appreciate every opportunity that they have given me, and it has been a wonderful experience working for them. I have tremendous respect for everyone there, and I know that they feel the same about me."
"There are no hard feelings—just excitement about a new future of opportunities." (And then he naturally plugged his book.)
So that would be the end of this sad affair, right? Not so fast. Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes then followed up by saying Sanchez might return to CNN.
"I think that he is a talented guy and he will have a lot of interest in different channels and, who knows, maybe some day the right place for him is at one of ours," he told Fox News (according to TVNewser) "I don't think we should do that now."
Rick Sanchez's Apology Puts (Temporary) End to Jon Stewart Mess
