Remarks of Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UN Women Executive Director, at the UN Broadband Commission Working Group on Gender, New York, 20 September 2013.
20 September 2013
[Check against delivery]
Madame Chair Helen Clark,
Distinguished Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to be in this meeting and to speak about a subject whose importance and significance for women I rank very high.
It is also an area of my special interest having spent the best part of my last four years looking at Technology-Enabled Learning.
I was to find that it is a matter of high priority also to UN Women and I am committed to an even stronger collaboration with the Broadband Commission Gender Working Group.
Since the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995, much attention has been paid to ICT and it is part of the Beijing Platform for Action. This makes it central to our work and particularly so, as we gear up for the Beijing +20 review, this will be one area I would like my team to shine a light on, for the purpose of doing more and better for women and girls.
Let me make some key observations on matters highlighted by the report, my own observations and highlight some of what UN Women does.
I want to further add that:
It makes the work of this commission an important contribution to inclusive development and women's empowerment.
As UN Women we are taking advantage of ICT in our work and meeting some of the objectives of the commission, though not at a desirable scale yet.
To end violence against women, for instance, we are providing mobile phone apps to report safety risks and to get access to services for survivors of gender-based violence.
To advance women's leadership and participation, we have an online platform for women across the globe called IKnow Politics, where women can connect and get information on how to run for office and get elected.
To enhance women's economic empowerment, we are launching with Canada our new global Knowledge Gateway to empower women with knowledge, resources, networking and training.
We are also launching an information system with Airtel that will provide women farmers with real time information on markets, policy environment and connect them to each other for learning and support.
This is work we do through partnerships with governments, civil society, the private sector and the United Nations system.
We hope to, and can do, much more.
The recommendations in your working group's report are an excellent starting point.
Our view is, we must not settle for "smart" societies, but also aspire for societies that are also "wise," guided by rights and values, where gender equality is realized and where technology works for the poor and for women and girls.
For us, technology can be a game-changer for women and girls. It can make the 21st century a women's and girls' century.
The next two Commissions on the Status of Women will review Beijing and the MDGs and put forward recommendations for post-2015. We, as your partner, will do everything to ensure that ICT is given prominence as a powerful means to advance women's rights, empowerment and gender equality.
My Deputy, Ms. Lakshmi Puri, will stay on to continue our discussion when I depart ahead of finishing the session.
I thank you.

The following is a first person account of a recent effort by several community groups to send items to the troops from Michael Gould Boy Scout troop leader and Roswell Rotary member.
Roswell has always been a community that appreciates the brave men and women in the U.S. military who defend our freedom and risk their lives to protect ours.
After spreading word that the Roswell Rotary Club would be sending holiday care packages to several forward operating bases in Afghanistan, the city's response was overwhelming. Over three quarters of a ton of items were dropped off at Roswell City hall and other places around town to be sent to troops who will be far from home this holiday season. Everything from batteries to Q-tips, and a thousand things in between were donated.
On Saturday, Dec. 1 members of the Roswell Rotary Club - with the help of many other volunteers including city employees, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts - met at The Cottage School to pack these items into boxes and ship them overseas. The true spirit of the holidays was with us as we worked together setting up a massive assembly line of items and filled each box for an individual soldier. While the contents of each box varied, every package had at least one letter wishing them a happy holiday and thanking them for their service. Among other items included were DVDs, energy bars, socks, books, magazines, candy, tooth brushes and drink mixes.
The Rotary Club had hoped to fill one box for each of the 81 military personnel serving under the command of Lt. Colonel Patrick Williams, USAF, nephew of Roswell City Councilwoman Becky Wynn. When finished, we had filled 195 boxes; an unprecedented effort that blew everyone away. All completed in less than two hours, thanks to so many wonderful volunteers. Packages are due to arrive to the troops on Dec. 22.
The Roswell Rotary Club would like to thank everyone in Roswell who donated items, wrote letters and took the time to help make this project such a success. And most of all we would like to thank the brave men and women of the U.S. military for their service to our great nation. We wish you a Happy Holiday, a Merry Christmas, a successful completion of your mission and a safe journey home.

Early sunsets over monroeville-backstories.0 Reviews
Okay these are the backstories for the characters in my new story early sunsets over monroeville.
Name:Gerard Arthur Way
Occupation:Ring leader of a very dark and mysterious theatre troop.
Skills:Painting,singing and dancing.
In a relationship with:Lindsey Ballato (AKA Lynz)
Siblings:Micheal James Way (AKA Mikey)
Children:Bandit Lee Way (AKA Bumble B or B)
Born:April 9th 1812
Gerards story:
Gerard was always a lonely kid,he would lock himself away in his parents mansion and refused to make friends with other children other then his brother Mikey.
He always loved to sing ,dance and draw but was shy and refused to perform infront of people or show them his marvelous yet,dark and morbid paintings.He's outlook on life was bitter and cynical from a young age and that view hasent changed since.
At the age of 23 Gerard got a terriable diesease,all his organs were failing and they said he would eventually die in about 10 years,it seems like a long time,but when you have a limit on your life time flies by and before gerard knew it he was 27 and was growing ever weaker and had to move back in with his parents.
Donna Way his beloved mother was distraught and slipped in and out of depression as the thought of losing her son was to much as she cherished him dearly.Donald way was a scientist and a Doctor and decided he would find a way to save his frail sons life.
He worked long and hard and often dident return home for days at a time but finally he finished what he was working on.
One night Donald snuck his son out of his room and took him to his lab to hopefully save his life,and so he did,he injected gerard with a toxin that stopped ageing and strengthened your immune system ,but that wasent enough.A few weeks later only three days after gerards 28th birthday he took him to the lab again and injected all his major organs with a special metal so they would never fail,in doing this he had made gerard immortal.
Everything seemed fine after that Donna was thrilled by the fact her son would live and they lived peacefully for a few months,until a doctor called corey came along and exposed Donald as a grave snatcher as he had been stealing freshly buried bodies to test it on.Donald was sentanced to death.
Donna was heartbroken and disowned her son saying she hated him and not to come back.Gerard disappeared for two years before returning when he heard about his mothers death.He went to the funeral to pay his final respects.
He knew Mikey was on his own and set about with his plan.That night he snuck into mikeys room before he got home and packed all of mikeys things.He knocked mikey unconcious before doing the surgery on mikey so mikey was just like him now.
It was in the year 1867 when they came across a young woman about to jump off a bridge because she was fed up with life they manged to convince her not to jump and go with them.The woman was shocked by their kindness and agreed and joined their little family.Her name was Annabella.
Gerard ,Mikey and Annabella (OR belle as they liked to call her) travelled all over america and Europe and slowly added to their family,they started a circus with gerard as the ringleader.The circus was called Venin circus (the venom circus)it was a joke as they were immortal like 'vampires'their tagline being "Merci Pour Le Venin" (thank you for the venom)
Gerard who had been condemned to die young had his stars changed and was now immortal and everyone who joined the circus was given the same process so they were immortal as well.
It was the year 1915 he met Lynz ,they got married in the year 1918 and had Bandit in the year 1978 ( i know big age gap XD) Gerard now has a family and is very happy.

Hard RollingThe aura of the Supra's buffed-out body is further brightened by 18-inch Veilside aluminum and Pirelli P-Zero rubber. The Supra flexes massive 18x11 wheels in front (no mistake!) and 18x13s in the rear. These are wrapped by 285/35s and 335/30s respectively. With the power of the inline six and the girth of the rolling stock, keeping the Supra suspended is no easy feat. A Tein Type HA suspension system consisting of four dampers, main springs, helper springs, lower spring seats, seat locks, spacer spring seats and all pertinent hardware is the weapon of choice. The dampers are 16-position adjustable and fully rebuildable. A TRD strut tower brace in front and a Cusco brace join the Tein underpinnings in the rear. Bring the gargantuan rolling stock to a halt is another tall order. An order filled out expeditiously by race-bred Brembo brakes.
Cockpit ControlThere is so much going on in the Supra's cockpit that even an F-16 pilot would be overwhelmed. Knowledge is power; you need to keep a close eye on the engine when you're pushing big power like the Big Stick. From a snug-fitting Bride bucket seat, the driver, gripping a MOMO Millennium steering wheel, is faced with a myriad of readouts. There are five GReddy electronic warning gauges at work; a 3 Bar boost gauge, EGT, fuel pressure, air/fuel ratio and temperature gauge. A trick TRD tach is joined by a SP Engineering intercooler temperature gauge that monitors temps before and after the chiller. The dials are set in a custom, carbon-fiber dash trim package.
ConclusionThe Big Stick Supra makes a brash, blunt and bombastic statement on the power and style potential of the JZA80. It's cars like the Mk IVs featured in this section that lend further credence to us picking the Supra as the best used performance car bargain in the February edition. If this "Supra Stars" issue goes over as well as the first, look for another Supra issue at the end of the 2001 run. Next time, we plan to feature more street/strip examples and more in-depth tech. If the planets align, there may be a JZA80 in our stable of project cars.

We're no longer at Tumblr, but we've got our own new home!
This page should redirect, but if it doesn't, click here
A teaser of the new layout/site launch - coming very soon!
So, it was a rather large touch of sadness that we left Paris on June 25, knowing that we would be back but that the next visit might not come around for quite some time. Our post-exchange blues, however, were definitely softened by our first stop in Beijing!
Beijing is what can definitely be qualified as a tourist city. It may lack the glitz and glamour of Shanghai, but it has oodles of tourist attractions and an ease of passage facilitated by the modifications carried out for the Olympic Games.
Its tourist attractions can broadly be categorized into two groups – temples and other stuff. One of our personal favourites was the so-called 'Temple of Heaven', situated in a huge park.
The temple itself is quite impressive, but the surrounding area, where Chinese seniors come together to play cards or dance or sing is a real break from the over-commercialised aspects of the city.
Beijing is far from the culinary capital of China – just like Paris in France. Nevertheless, like Paris, it does have a few signature dishes and on top of that list is of course Peking Duck. We sampled one at a popular restaurant - that was definitely a memorable eating experience and light on the wallet too!
One slight disappointment was the monsoonal type weather we endured whilst at the Great Wall. With visibility reduced to 50 metres or less, it was perhaps not the day to get that quintessential snaking picture of that most impressive construction – for another visit and another less-touristy part of the Wall!
Hey everyone!
So we just spent the last fortnight in China, visiting the historical city of Beijing and awesome Shanghai following the most amazing year in France and Paris.
At long last, we touched down to home Sydney soil yesterday morning and are now back in our respective beds. It feels weird being back, more weird than having no Facebook, Youtube or Tumblr access for a full fortnight in China due to the Firewall there. (Which explains our MIA!!)
I guess we'll experience a whole group of different and complex emotions within the next few days and weeks as we eventually get back into our old rhythm and reality that is Sydney life.
All the memories, moments and friends that we've had and made during our year abroad are special and will not be forgotten. It was so hard to say goodbye, or rather see you soon as we do hope that we will get the chance to see a lot of the people in the upcoming few years… since you know, Sydney is the place to be with its beautiful beaches and weather for most of the year.
Since Gareth and I do not live under the same roof anymore, the status of Les Deux is currently a 'not-quite-sure', but we shall see after we talk about it. Nonetheless, photos and memories from our China leg will definitely be up, of course!
But for now, I am off the optometrist to see what is going on with my eye :)

sump pump weight type switches. Where did they all go? (4 Posts)

sump pump weight type switches. Where did they all go?What happened to the type of sump pump switch that used two weights on a cord?
This is just something I've been wondering and I'm thinking with the amount of seasoned plumbers on this site someone will have an answer . In the house I grew up in we had some serious water problems that required three sump pumps to keep up with at times. We had quality pumps all of which had a switch that had two weights. When the water got half way up the top weight the spring loaded switch clicked on, when it got half way down the bottom weight it clicked off.
All 3 pumps never had switch problems. The oldest was a 1958 Homart 1/2 HP submersible and was still in use at least until 2006. The switches clamped onto the pipe via a simple hose clamp if I remember correctly.Weil-McLain EG-45 connected to 392sqft of radiation via two 2" risers into a 3" drop header and 2" equalizer.

Float Switches:Myers sells a ALC 18P in either 120 volt or 240 volt. I always used them on new installs or replacements for broken float switches mounted inside the sump tank.
ALC = All Liquid Control, 18p= 18' cord with appropriate plug. They mount on a braided nylon cord and are held in place with a stainless steel set screw for adjustment for any range desired.

Reasons:Well, because the other float type aren't cheap. The mercury bulb ones are cheaper. And you can't set the range unless you use a controller. Then, you need two switches. One for ON and one for OFF
The mercury ones are nice because you can clamp the wire on the discharge pipe inside the pump chamber. When the wire breaks after MANY times of bending back and forth, they stop working. Or, if there is a crust that develops, it hangs up the float and the pump either doesn't stop, or it doesn't stop. So, you have to disconnect the piping and hope that you don't get covered with dirty water because the cheapskate original installer didn't put a valve in the drain or union at the tank. The float switch is usually separate with one of those unavailable queer plugs that plug in to a wall socket and you plug the pump in to. All is not in vain though, because if you direct connect the motor plug end into power, and the motor isn't jammed or burned out, you can pump out the pump chamber. Then, knowing that the pump is working, you can pull that nasty thing out and slap a new float switch on it. Which will again break from continuous bending of the wire.
Or, you can leave that whole nasty mess in place (as long as the motor is still working and pumping) and install the ALC-18P in the other hole in the tank top, where there is that extra hole in the cover, just perfect for that new external switch.
They also work well in septic tank overflow chambers that take the "clear" water from the discharge of the tank and pump it into the leach field. You can install the switch so it is accessible in the top opening so you don't go inside that nasty, smelly hole to change the mercury switch.
How do you cut a piece of wire when you don't have a pair of wire nippy's? Bend it back and forth until the wire breaks. Same way as the wire breaks in the mercury float switches.
Why don't more use the ALC types? I don't know. They're smart and I'm not. Last Spring I had a customer with a 1,000 gallon septic tank so that he could pump sewerage up hill to the town sewer. The switch dies. I showed up with a ALC switch and I would have put it in. I had it in the truck. It would have taken me 1 1/2 hours both ways to change it to a ALC. The septic guy showed up and brought his septic sucker, and it took him all day to replace the switch with the old broken wire switch. He climbed into that nasty hole and changed it. He wanted no part of any switch that didn't require him going into that nasty, smelly tank. He's smart and I'm not.
Snark-O-Meter switch is full on.

Mark Logue is incorrect in one thing: his grandfather's role in King George VI's life is indeed mentioned in his later biographies. The official bio by Wheeler-Bennett, the book "Reluctant King" by Sarah Bradford, and the wonderful biography of the late Queen Elizabeth, consort to George VI, by Geoffrey Wheatcroft, all discuss it.
Another to do so is Theo Aronson's "The Royal family at War". All are recommended reading for students of the modern British Monarchy.
I have a mostly pictorial booklet which I bought soon after the King;s death, and Lionel Logue is mentioned in that. I don;t know, but I don't think he is in any of the photos though.
The booklet is called : The Pictorial Life Story of King George The Sixth. And below a picture of the King it says The Story of the Beloved Monarch – by Roger Fulford.
There is quite a bit mentioned about the King's stammer, and the only mention of Mr Logue is:"To this end he put himself in the hands of an Australian specialist, Mr Lionel Logue, with extremely beneficial results".
When I read of the upcoming release of The King's Speech I decided to break my 20 year cinematic drought to see if the movie lived up to my expectations. It did on all counts. I fully expect that this movie, its outstanding cast of main players and those involved in the production will do extremely well in the 2011 Academy Awards.
John Hay
I am a practicing speech pathologist for 40 years. I think that the film did credit to our profession. I would like to know ASHA's opinion.
thank you for this great film. I am honored to be of service in my chosen profession.
My grandfather, actor C. M. Shaw (Sparrow) and Lionel Logue were best friends in their youth in Adelaide and Perth . My grandfather introduce him to his wife to be, Myrtle Gruenert. I have the Taylor Darbyshire book given to my grandfather by Lionel in Feb. 1937, inscribed: "To my dear friend Charlie, remembering the happy lazy days spent at college and a life long friendship." I have other letters and mementos and photos that I would love to share with Mark Logue. How do I contact him?
I just saw the movie a few hours ago. Great to see (Possiblly an ancestor. What? It's possible ) Last name is Logue but we're American.
The movie is rated R for swearing. The book has no swearing at all. Which is accurate? or is it somewhere between?
Wonderful movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching a movie that does not rely on sex.violence and alcohol to reach out to the audience. Once again the British humour is on point. This is the kind of movie that makes you want to go back and delve i nto history.
Well Done
I loved this film. As the widow of a man who had a life-long stutter, never got "cured," I knew this film would be truly a breakthrough in terms of acceptance for the stuttering community. My late partner, Marty Jezer, if I may put in a plug, wrote a memoir entitled, "Stuttering: A Life Bound Up In Words." The main issue in Marty's book is self-acceptance, overcoming the self-loathing and fear that are "secondary" effects of stuttering.
This is an important issue to address, as these secondary effects can shadow the life of a person who stutters, even if they seem, to all appearances, to be "cured". By the way, there is a national stutterers' self-help organization by the name of Speakeasy, based in New jersey.
I, too, was wondering if Mark Logue has done the geneology of Lionel Logue.
My mother was a Logue and her ancestors were from Donegal and Galway counties in Northern Ireland. We have documented back to William Logue who was born in Ireland 1655 and died in Delaware USA 1720. If Mr. Logue ever published the geneology, I would love to buy a copy.
I really enjoyed this film it keeps me wanting to know more about their relationship…

Privatizing Monopolies in Developing Countries: The Real Effects of Exclusivity Periods in Telecommunications
AbstractMany developing countries have given newly privatized incumbent network utilities, especially telecommunications, exclusive rights to serve particular markets. Research to date has explored privatization, competition, and to a lesser extent, regulation. We know little, however, about the effects of the privatization transactions themselves and, in particular, how these ''exclusivity periods'' matter. I use original data to investigate this approach to privatization. I find that exclusivity periods are associated with significant increases in the firm's sale price. Exclusivity periods are also, however, correlated with a significant decrease in the incumbent's investment in the telecommunications network, payphones, mobile telephone penetration, and international calling.

Lyrics & Chords
My first attempt at singing on the net. Please give your comments without hesitation. Its never too late to learn. The lyrics are here for you to follow. Thanks
Baat nikalegee to phir duur talak jaayegee
log bewajah udaasee kaa sabab poochhenge
ye bhee poochhenge ke tum itnee pareshaan kyoon ho
oongliyaan uthengee sookhe huye baalon kee taraf
ek nazar dekhenge guzre huye saalon kee taraf
choodiyon par bhee kai tanz kiye jaayenge
kaampate haathon pe bhee fikre kase jaayenge
log zaalim hain har ek baat kaa taanaa deNge
baaton baaton mein meraa zikr bhee le aayenge
unakee baaton kaa zaraa saa bhee asar mat lenaa
warnaa chehre ke taasur se samajh jaayenge
chaahe kuchh bhi ho sawaalaat naa karnaa unse
mere baare mein koi baat na karnaa unse
baat nikalegii to phir door talak jaayegee

The Boy Scouts of America has been under fire for many reasons over the past few months, including their stance on gays. But it's the latest abuse scandal, alleging that 5,000 men have been expelled from the organization in the past 50+ years over allegations of sexual abuse, that should be the final nail in the group's coffin.
As a mom of a 4-year-old boy, one thing is clear to me: my son will never, NEVER be a Boy Scout. In many ways, these scandals make me think the outdated organization ought to just go away.
The last thing I want to teach my son is that discrimination is OK. But even worse, how does an organization that prides itself on growing strong men possibly justify allowing men to get away with abusing children? It's sick. See below:
As the mom of both a boy and a girl, it drives me insane when people imply I need to worry so much about only my daughter. Boys can be victimized, too, and as we have now seen with the Catholic church and Penn State football, it happens all the time.
What are moms supposed to do?
To me, it seems obvious. On top of the fact that I would never allow my son to do Boy Scouts, I also plan to educate him early (starting now, he is 4) on good touch and bad touch. I want him to be comfortable with his body, but also with his emotions. I want him to be able to talk to me.
Part of what is so scary about these abuse scandals, both in the Boy Scouts and the others, is that these are organizations where children are specifically going to gravitate. It's not very hard to imagine how a boy could be victimized in the place he thought he was the safest. That's a terrifying fact.
All we can do as moms and dads is to make sure our sons know what's OK and what's not. We want them to understand that even so-called "authority figures" don't have the right to touch them or to ask to be touched. Their "authority" is over the activities and behavior of the children at whatever event they are moderating. But it isn't to touch the children.
Part of what is so sad about all this is that, as a mom, it's impossible to trust anyone. Is that teacher who takes a special interest in my son REALLY interested in him? Or is he a predator waiting to pounce? The more stories like this one hears, the worse that fear becomes.
So what can we do as parents? We arm our kids with assertive things to say and we teach them about personal space and minding their own bodies. That's all we can do.
Would you let your son join the Boy Scouts?
as horrible as this situation is, we cannot let ourselves live in fear. and what if you put your son into scouts that DIDN'T have any predators? i think that scouts teaches kids some very important lessons, and while as a mother i absolutely worry for my children, i won't let it dictate our lives.
Color me NOT surprised. You forgot to mention that not only did this crap happen, many times it was covered up to protect the "scouting" name.
Perhaps you should put back in the part that you left out. That the "perversion list" that you are speaking of ended in in the '80s. Since that time, the BSA has enacted Youth Protection Training (the course that Scoutmom referred to). ALL registered leaders must take it in order to become registered, and then we must repeat the training every two years, or we are no longer leaders.
NO leader may EVER be in a closed-door session with a boy. Ever. If you must take a boy aside for a private meeting (as is done with "Scoutmaster Conferences" once the boy reaches Boy Scouts (age 11+)), it must remain in view of others at all times. Private discussion with the Assistant Scoutmaster - go to the corner of the room. We'll give you your privacy, but we must be able to see you. Period.
Boys are taught NEVER to keep secrets. In the front of EVERY Scout's book, there is a section addressing the parents/family of the Scout that talks about protection of the boys. The BSA takes this very seriously. Yes, they have learned from their mistakes.
And if you're THAT worried, perhaps you should be one of the moms who gets involved instead of sitting on the sidelines and letting everyone else take responsibility for your kid.

Creating Schedule Tags With Multiple Property Sets
If you want to create a schedule tag and use the tag wizard available in AutoCAD Architecture or AutoCAD MEP 2009, you can't do it using Mtext. You can do it using plain single-line text.
Using single-line text allows you to choose several lines to associate multiple property sets.
Here's an example of one reason why you might use two property sets for top of duct and bottom of duct on one tag.

PLAYERS: Andy Pettitte, Robinson Cano, Kevin Youkilis, Eduardo Nunez, Chris Stewart, Kurt Suzuki, Travis Hafner, Vernon Wells, Ryan Zimmerman, Ian Desmond, Adam LaRoche, Joba Chamberlain, David Robertson, Mariano Rivera, Jordan Zimmermann
TEAMS: Washington Nationals, New York Yankees
TEAMS: Washington Nationals, New York Yankees
New York Yankees 4 — Washington Nationals 2 Andy Pettitte struck out six over six innings in today's 4-2 win over the Washington Nationals. Robinson Cano is on top of his game as he got two hits, including a double, in today's game. The Yankees got their offense started in the 4th inning on Kevin Youkilis' sixth home run of the Spring to left field. Eduardo Nunez's single of two hits brought in two runs. Then, Chris Stewart followed Nunez with a single to right field that created a bit of a jam for Stewart, caught between first and second base. Stewart likely expected Nunez to be sent home and this forced Nunez to attempt to score and succeed when the catcher, Kurt Suzuki, dropped the ball. The four-run 4th inning would be enough for the Yankees in today's game. Travis Hafner got a hit in today's game and Vernon Wells got two, including a double. Andy Pettitte started in his last Spring game before his regular season start. In six innings, Pettitte struck out six and allowed just two runs, one unearned. A throwing error by Kevin Youkilis allowed third baseman Ryan Zimmerman to reach second base in the 4th inning. Shortstop Ian Desmond would bring in Zimmerman on a single through to center field. Zimmerman would score one more time after reaching second in the 6th inning with a double. First baseman Adam LaRoche brought Zimmerman in with a single to center field. The ideal pitching situation was set into motion with Pettitte's six sinnings. Joba Chamberlain would get the 7th inning and threw a perfect inning with a strikeout. Setup man, David Robertson, got the 8th inning and was perfect, striking out one. Then, to an ovation by the Washington crowd for what could be their last time seeing him; Mariano Rivera took the mound for the 9th inning with a two-run lead and a save opportunity. With a strikeout and a pair of groundouts, Mariano Rivera sealed the door shut like he has done so many times before. Win – Andy Pettitte Loss – Jordan Zimmermann Save – Mariano Rivera Notables Yankees *Eduardo Nunez – 2 for 3, R, 2 RBI (7) *Kevin Youkilis – 1 for 2, R, Solo Home Run (6) in the 4th, RBI (14) Nationals *Ryan Zimmerman – 1 for 3, 2 R *Ian Desmond – 1 for 3, RBI (7) Want to go to a Yankees game?

Gender Bias in Sex Ratio at Birth: The Case of India
AbstractA deeply-rooted preference for sons may decrease the relative number of female births. Though there are variables that may help to erode the couple's preference for sons, these same variables may also increase the availability of means to ensure male births. This is the case of educational achievements. It is not difficult to assume, for example, that a higher level of education helps to erode the couple's preference for sons. However, the effect of an increase in education on female disadvantage at birth is not so straightforward. More education may increase the couple's awareness of the possibility of using prenatal sex detection. We discuss the issue throughout the paper by developing an empirical framework for the case of India.

The Cowboys have now lost four of the last five games after a 19-13 loss to the Falcons Sunday night in Atlanta. DallasCowboys.com staff writers – Jonathan Auping, Rowan Kavner, Nick Eatman and Bryan Broaddus were all on hand and delivered their post-game reactions. Also included is their gut feelings from Saturday afternoon.
Nick: For the Cowboys to win this game, we all thought they'd have to be a great game and overcome the normal obstacles that come with playing on the road. To me, this game was lost early on, while usually it happens in the fourth. Obviously there were big plays in the final quarter that played a factor, but the Cowboys seemed to have a few breaks early in the game, but yet only managed two field goals. When you're playing a 7-0 team like Atlanta with a high-powered offense, you can't settle for field goals. While the defense was solid for most of the night, what will be remembered most is the last drive where they couldn't get off the field. The Cowboys were competitive with a chance to win, but you can't be solid and expect to be a good team on the road.
Jonathan: The Cowboys did what they needed to do to keep up with an undefeated team with multiple scoring weapons. They played decent defense for stretches. They got enough first downs to maintain a decent time of possession. At the end of the day we all knew it would come down to how many game changing plays could be made by Matt Ryan and his explosive weapons. The Cowboys defense wasn't terrible by any stretch, but the Falcons were successful at making the plays they needed to make to win the game. We knew that both these teams had a good quarterback, two very gifted receivers and a great tight end. All season the Falcons have been more successful at taking advantage of those things than the Cowboys. The same was true Sunday night. Sometimes it is just that simple.
Rowan: The Cowboys had to be one of the most favored 3-4 teams to ever play an undefeated team at this point in the season. But once again, the Cowboys couldn't do enough offensively and couldn't get the key stop defensively to put away a quality opponent. There's a reason people picked the Cowboys in this one, myself included. They provide glimpses of greatness, but ultimately come up short on too many occasions. They always seem one or two plays away from victory, yet they've lack the consistency in every major category to pull off a much-needed win.
Bryan: Last week I put the game on the shoulder of Jason Garrett and this Cowboys offense. This week I felt like that the offense would do enough in the game by scoring points. Several missed opportunities were left on the field and they were not able to get that done. This week I felt like if the Cowboys were going to win this game, that Rob Ryan's group would have to step up and make plays. For the most part Ryan was able to hold the Falcons in check but when they needed a stop the most on the final drive of the game they were unable to make it happen allow a big play to Rodgers to convert a third down and getting a defensive holding on Scandrick which also kept the drive going and allowed the Falcons to chew up the clock and kill the game.
Gut Feelings, posted Saturday, Nov. 3:
Rowan: Going out on a limb and picking an upset win would have been a little easier early in the week, when
Bryan: Historically when the calendar turns to November, it's the time of year that
Jonathan: It probably goes without saying that in order to beat the undefeated Atlanta Falcons the Cowboys will have to play some of their best football of the season. But sometimes being a big underdog finally takes a little pressure off of a team. I don't mean to disrespect a 7-0 team, but the Falcons are beatable. Obviously they have great receiving weapons, but I think the Cowboys' secondary is up to the challenge. Don't get me wrong, the Falcons will make big plays through the air, but I think that they will be at least relatively contained. But my big prediction is that

Rookies at Australian Grand PrixA brief look at four drivers who are racing at the Formula One track for the first time in Australia...
By IndiaTimes | March 16, 2013, 6:00 am IST
2 Max Chilton (Marussia)
Chilton is one of two rookies driving for Marussia this year. The Brit has starred on the GP2 circuit, winning two races last year while plying his trade as a reserve driver for the Russian team. The Russian-owned team is one of three which finished out of the points in 2012 and is hoping the infusion of fresh talent will help it improve this year. Chilton got his start in racing at the age of 9, when his brother launched a karting series called T-Cart. He has been racing ever since, with his career-highlight so far being a F3 win in 2009 at Brands Hatch which is his home circuit.

The 102mm
by Iceburgh71
Great battery! The G6's (mini and std) last long as it is, but these a VERY long time! I got 2 just to keep in the house to relax and vape. They are very long, but I knew that when I got them. I don't carry them around, again just use around the house. They will not fit in the G6 carry case or the personal charger, but once again...I didn't buy them for that. Excellent battery if you want something for home to relax with!

Almost as good as the triton
by Daniel
Buy a 78 manual battery for use with G6 mini tank provides an excellent alternative that give you close to the same vapor experience as the Triton. Best on the market.

Great quality battery
by michael
I have the manual standard and 65mm automatic battery that came with my starter pack. The batteries are of good quality and I really like the rubber textured finish on it for good grip. Personally, I prefer the manual bat over the automatic. The manual seems to have a more consistent heating mechanism and is much easier for me than the automatic. I like the recessed button on the manual which is a very smart design as there are less chances of it getting pressed accidentally while in my pocket. As for the automatic 65mm which you have to activate through puffing takes a little bit more effort to vape and the heating mechanism is totally dependent on how strong you puff causing some inconsistency of the quality of vapor produced. Ofcourse, this is a matter of preference and personally, I prefer the manual for easier vaping and for a better, more consistent vapor production.
Halo is brilliant to have options for manual and automatic batteries as they can cater to those different vaping preferences of their patrons. I wonder what the popular choice is...manual or automatic.

Fantastic quality and life
by Andrew
Halo's products IMO have the highest level of quality. The battery feels very nice, in a matte finish that has some grip to it, not cheap plastic. There are 3 sizes, obviously the bigger the battery the longer it'll last. I always opted for smaller batteries based on feel and look... on a full charge, even the mini's last me a full day of moderate vaping use (I probably smoked a 1/2 pack a day beforehand). Anyway, you can't go wrong. Haven't tried the manual battery yet.

Changed to manual and glad I did
by Jim
Just received my new manual black mini battery today. Sleek and sexy, great pocket size battery. Love the recessed power button Halo designed for their manual batteries. I carry mine in my pocket and have no worries of the battery being activated due to the recessed button design. Love everything about this battery!

Good Battery
by Steven
I have this battery in the XL length and am waiting for them to be restocked to order another one. This is what you need if you drain batteries really quick like me. It seems to last twice as long as the standard batteries. It is great for use with the low resistance cartomizers, but they do drain the battery pretty quick. I use this one at home, as due to its length it is not as mobile as the shorter batteries. The finish is just as nice and the manual button is easy to find without looking, but recessed slightly to avoid accidental operation. The only downside is that you have to be careful with the first few puffs after a full charge as this battery seems to heat the carts up pretty hot. I have noticed that, especially with the LR carts, heavy drags on a fresh battery will cause a burnt taste. This is not a problem once you realize to back off at first. These batteries are really convenient for use at home or on long car trips if you prefer the cig a like feel.

Great Battery
by Chris
I just recently received this battery in the mail at first I was skeptical but after one day of use I was sold! This is the way to go, it has a good feel and it lasted me all day with moderate to heavy vaping. This is a great product you can tell Halo cares about the customer.

Great Piece, Awesome for starters
by Hoku
I bought this G6 piece in addition to my starter kit as a way to extend battery life. I ended up getting the extra long at 102mm extended battery. It has a really nice and sleek look to it and the blue light on the bottom of the black looks really nice. It's a unique touch over the original ecigs that I used to see from other companies.
It's stylish and nice, but in addition to that it's also great for starters to have. It's not too rough to handle and won't burn you too badly. I would highly recommend the G6 to anyone who is even remotely interested in the electronic cigarette market. I'm getting my dad one to start out with the e cigarettes. I think he'll really like it.

XL Battery- MUST HAVE
by Brian
Just picked one of these up, and after the initial charge and conditioning procedure, I've been vaping all day on one charge! It's a little long, but that's a small factor when you consider how long this thing lasts. Like others have said, having these available in all the other colors they offer would be nice, but I'd rather have a black one then not at all! The 8-10 second cutoff is a nice touch, but be careful, makes the tanks hot after 5-6 back to back long drags.

Fight Night Champion Goes Retro
Fight Night Champion Goes Retro
A touch of boxing history takes Fight Night Champion into the future
When you add up all of the boxers, features and details included in the new downloadable content packs for Fight Night Champion, you will have in your hands a kind of interactive boxing history lesson. We're not going back to the very beginning of the sport because things get muddled. But starting with bare-knuckle brawls and some of the legendary fighters from the early 20th century and continuing on through to modern fighters and the way they looked at earlier points in their careers, you've been given an opportunity re-create some iconic fights and experience some pivotal moments in the sport.
First, you'll have to digest the details of the Bare Knuckles Boxing Pack, Heavyweight Legends Pack and Alternate Weight Class Pack (http://www.ea.com/fight-night/blog/dlc-details). Then you will realize what you can do.
Joe Louis vs Rocky Marciano
This is probably the marquee matchup of the HW Legends pack because every time you bring up boxing somebody has to pull Rocky Marciano….out of nowhere. And much of the barber shop discussion you've heard is true: Marciano beat Joe Louis in 1951, that was Louis' last fight and Rocky did finish his career undefeated. There are also much more powerful social elements to these two fighters' careers, some of which resonate to this day. Joe Louis ascended to the heavyweight championship to become a bona fide "People's Champ" at a time when the sport was still reacting to both the legacy of Jack Johnson (more on that later) and social extremism in Europe. Marciano, on the other hand, was such an appealing sports hero that his punishing, slow-footed style inspired a filmmaker to appropriate his story for an iconic movie franchise that will not die. You can't find a pair of fighters, who have fought each other, who've had more influence on American culture.
Manny Pacquiao
Fight Night Champion ships with Manny Pacquiao as a welterweight. The Alternate Weight Class Pack adds the featherweight (122 lbs) and lightweight (135 lbs) versions of Pac-Man and we're still missing six weight classes in which Pacquiao has won championships! When you have so many boxing organizations and you can always gain or lose four pounds to fight in a different class, it's easy to disparage what it means to win belts at different weights. It's not easy to say this about Pacquiao. Putting on roughly forty pounds between his debut in 1995 and his last championship win over Antonio Margarito last year is phenomenal because it means he retained enough of his fighting ability and speed to be effective. I'm not sure if heavyweights are at a disadvantage because they can't move up in weight or if they're lucky for avoiding him.
London Prize Ring Rules
That's the official name of the set of boxing rules we now know as bare-knuckle brawling. Throw in a movie like The Gangs of New York and you'll catch a glimpse of how wild and vicious fighting used to be. People just fought back then. Prize fights throughout the 19th century were more like spontaneous afterschool brawls but with alcohol and gambling thrown into the mix to take it to a whole different level of "wrong."
Now in Fight Night Champion you'll be able to use Old School Rules (a variation of London Prize Ring Rules) in Play Now and online in ranked and unranked matches. You get the wrapped hands with no gloves plus different sound effects and instant blood like you saw in Champion Mode. Offline you'll get the full old school experience where rounds don't end until somebody gets knocked down and fights only end when there's a knockout.
If you still don't think people were tougher back in the day, consider this: throughout the early 20th century, after the sport adopted Marquess of Queensberry rules, you could still knockdown an opponent, stand over him and, as soon as both knees were off of the mat, beat him some more. Neutral corners and standing eight counts have no place here.
Jack Johnson
No, not the musical act. We're talking about the first African-American heavyweight champion who pioneered the role of sports hero as celebrity showman. Every athlete --from Chad Ochocinco to Usain Bolt to Reggie Miller—that plays to the crowd or otherwise celebrates a moment of superiority is taking a chapter out of Johnson's book. The swirl of legends, myths and facts around Johnson eclipse the fact that he paid dearly for his success in the ring and the lifestyle he claimed with it. The White Slave Traffic Act is a Federal statute to this day after Johnson was the first man to be convicted under the new law in 1913 by Judge Kennesaw Landis. We'll wait while you search and connect those dots.
His unprecedented, to that point, style of counter-punching and solid defense confounded opponents. When he lost the heavyweight title, the legend is that it was by choice because he was photographed shielding his eyes from the afternoon sun while the referee was counting him out.
So as you dive into this batch of downloadable content for Fight Night Champion, we encourage you to think and throw educated punches as you fight your way through history.

This weekend, I saw "The Intouchables", a movie that has, perhaps inexplicably, become France's #2 grossing film of all time, and that finally landed in North American theatres this week. I loved it, and I also think it's a good film. But I can also see why American critics have been alternately scoffing, miffed, grudging, and downright appalled. (more…)

AAR at the Movies: The IntouchablesMonday, June 4th, 2012
Summer Movies PreviewThursday, May 10th, 2012
When it comes to movies, summer used to mean two things: Harry Potter and Pixar. Now that Harry Potter's over, I'm left with just Pixar. I would call it religious, the way I unfailingly see the new Pixar every June and look forward to their new short, but I did skip Cars 2. And I don't feel I'm missing much.
This year's Pixar is Brave, which is unusual because a) it features actual humans (the only other full-length films that did so were The Incredibles and Up), and b) the protagonist is a girl! It seems quite fairy tale-ish, about a Scottish princess and bears and lots of humour, and features the voice talents of Kelly Macdonald (love her) and Emma Thompson. I'm really looking forward to it.
Other movies that caught my eye: (more…)

Dickson, Nicole R.
Adult Fiction DICKSON
Summary: Casting Off: 1. Ending a knitted work. 2. Releasing lines holding a boat to its mooring. 3. Letting go... On a tiny island off the west coast of Ireland, the fishermen's handmade sweaters tell a story. Each is unique-feelings stitched into rows, memories into patterns. It is here that Rebecca Moray comes to research a book on Irish knitting. With her daughter, Rowan, accompanying her, she hopes to lose herself in the history of the island and forget her own painful past. Soon, the townsfolk's warm embrace wraps Rebecca and Rowan in a world of friendship, laughter, and love. And it is here that young Rowan befriends Sean Morahan, a cantankerous old fisherman, despite his attempts to scare her off. As Rebecca watches her daughter interact with Morahan, she recognizes in his eyes a look that speaks of a dark knowledge not unlike her own. And when current storms threaten to resurrect old ones, Morahan and Rebecca find themselves on a collision course-with Rowan caught between them-each buffeted by waves of regret and recrimination. Only by walking headfirst into the winds will they find the faith to forgive without forgetting...and reach the shore.
