Is what's good for the goose really good for the gander? Not necessarily. Current exercise guidelines and standards are primarily based on data from men only. In a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind study, researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, studied more than 5,700 healthy women to determine their fitness levels relative to age and lifestyle.
"We found that even if men and women exercise the same amount, the impact on their health can be quite different," says Henry R. Black, MD, an internationally recognized expert on hypertension at Rush and one of the study's authors.
The researchers found that women who score less than 85 percent of their age-predicted exercise capacity on an exercise stress test have twice the risk for serious heart problems and death. While more research still needs to be done, the findings will certainly lead to new standards and guidelines for women's exercise capacity, says Black.
In the meantime, women should continue to be physically active for their heart's sake — with an emphasis on vigorous activity to achieve or maintain appropriate fitness levels as they age.

What's your favorite (and/or least favorite) Nobel-Prize-winning science?
The Nobel Prize is awarded annually in recognition of significant scientific advances. In my Bioelectricity class, we've already learned about many Nobel Prize winners. Arrhenius, for example, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903 for his electrolytic theory concerning the dissociation of ions (electrically charged particles), Nernst, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1920 for his work in understanding the energy of reactions, Hodgkin and Huxley won in 1963 for their discoveries concerning nerve action potentials, Neher and Sakmann received one in 1991 for work to isolate single ion channels in cells, and MacKinnon was awarded the Prize in Chemistry in 2003 for his discoveries concerning ion channels in cell membranes, just to name a few!
However, although the Nobel Prize for sciences is awarded formally for physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine, there is no prize for engineering, for example, and also there have been controversies for prizes awarded in the past. And, so, why not ask:
What's your favorite (and/or least favorite) Nobel-Prize-winning science? What makes science "good" or "bad" at all?
Closing Statement from Andrew Kiang
Thanks to all of you for sharing your favorite Nobel Prize winners and your opinions about what makes "good" science. In the end, "good science" is still hard to define clearly but it seems to lean on the side of working genuinely to benefit mankind. I am glad to hear there are other prizes with as much prestige as the Nobel. Good work in other categories besides the strict Nobel sciences need to be encouraged.

Andrew Kiang 50+Feb 12 2012: That's a lot of nominations! I noticed that they are also for different fields of science. He finally won in 1959 for chemistry. I wonder how many prize winners have been in his position of being nominated a lot of times before winning, and the reasons for them winning with the science they had done.
Feb 14 2012: Jiri,
Looking through this fascinating conversation started by Andrew, I have been able to research all different types of interesting scientists and Noble Prize winners. However, I have found that Dr. Jaroslav Heyrovský is definitely the most interesting of all. The perseverance Dr. Jaroslav Heyrovský had was inspiring, as he was so close for so long, and finally won 25 years after being nominated 18 times. Furthermore, he was honored all around the world for all the great work he has done. It is incredible to be so talented in multiple fields like Dr. Jaroslav Heyrovský was. Thanks for sharing this, as his story is truly something to look up to.

A toddler is hurt in what Tulsa police are calling an accidental shooting.It happened Friday afternoon near Admiral and Pittsburg. According to police, a 3-year-old boy and an adult were in the back room of a home on east 1st Street. Somehow the gun went off and the boy was hit in the thigh. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital for treatment. He's expected to survive.Investigators got conflicting reports from those in the house when the shooting happened. Police said they'll have to ask more questions before deciding whether or not to file charges. The adult involved was not the child's parent, police said.

Giving and Receiving Train Wreck

How appropriate. With the year ending and advent coming next week, we just talked about this in my church's young adults group. Thoughts we had concerning the holiday season were: * stressed about getting everything done in time * concerned about how to give meaningful gifts * feeling pressured into "experiencing" Christmas in a certain way (tree lighting at Rockefeller Center, Christmas muzak, decorations arranged just so...) * dealing with family and personal relationships which may be heightened I found the time a very helpful way to prepare for the upcoming season and to focus on the things that are truly important at Christmas: celebrating Christ, serving God, and sharing joy with family, friends, and strangers As an aside, someone mentioned the website: www.adventconspiracy.org which I think has a great mission: Worship More. Spend Less. Give More. Love All.
Wonderful points fellow Pointificator! It's good to have you aboard, Jeff! I struggle with this too. Mostly from the end of things that I just adore finding just the right gift for someone and for seeing someone feel special and cared for. The trouble is the price tag. Each year I take the opportunity as a challenge to my creativity. How can I show my love and honor God in my stewardship. It's tricky though!

With the deadline to exercise team options on three rookie contracts looming tomorrow the Nuggets have made their decisions.
Denver picked up the options on Evan Fournier ($1.4 million for 2014-2015) and Kenneth Faried ($2.2 million dollars in 2014-2015) and declined the option on Jordan Hamilton.
None of the moves are particularly surprising as Fournier and Faried are both bargains on their rookie deals and Hamilton has seemed to have fallen out of favor with the new front office and coaching staff.
Don't expect the decision to impact the Faried trade rumors though, as the only thing not exercising the option would have done is risk losing Faried for nothing. For now Faried is locked into a contract until at least the summer of 2015 when the Nuggets (or whoever he is playing for) will surely extend him the qualifying offer of $3.2 million and see how restricted free agency plays out.
Fournier will have the same $2.2 million option that the Nuggets just exercised on Faried due to be decided upon by October 31st of next year.

Organizing Tip: Use Baskets
We like to make the organizing process as easy as possible. That means, implementing systems that are simple to follow--and maintain. It's effortless to toss like items in their allocated basket (all without having to open a cabinet or unzip a bag).
Labeling is important so you'll be able to find items when you need them and put them back when they're not in use. Because baskets cannot be traditionally labeled, this decorative tag with handwriting on the reverse is a great way to identify what's inside.
DVDs, CDs and electronics are kept tidy and neat with the use of baskets. Because these baskets don't have a lid, you can easily locate what you're looking for.
If you don't have much of a pantry for dry storage, decorative baskets on the countertop keep your food looking organized.

I no. I really dislike this look. My friends and I call it "the mom-jeans solution". Especially the open topped baskets. If you are going to hide a mess you should at least put a lid on it.
kevoncubine - if i tried to organize with open baskets it would definitely look like 90's momjeans. but when its just one basket artfully placed just so (by someone with more artistic eye than i have), i think its chic - however i'm not sure how much organizing is getting done.
I love baskets- if you don't like looking into the open top, put them on shelves just above your eye level. I do this with all of my bath towels, rolled up on end.
I'm enamored with the first image- Is that a framed illustration from Angelina Ballerina? Perhaps Angelina's Birthday? Yay, children's book illustrations as art!
I disagree, kevoncubine. Open baskets do not necessarily have to look messy. Even if baskets are your aesthetic cup of tea, comparing them to "mom-jeans" is pretty condescending.
Yes, of course, this means that I use them. I actually thought this was pretty much a no-brainer, if you like the look.
Yes...I really like baskets and have quite a few. I find them interesting and useful. They hold a lot of my magazines and small collections when they're put away for seasonal rotation. I love the textural (sp?) and rustic look of them.
After fighting with my husband for 5 years about putting his shoes in the coat closet rather than under the credenza in the entry (exactly the same distance from the door), I am happy to try to get him to aim for a basket. It isn't the perfect solution but it is better than my alternative. I guess I am putting on the high waisted mom jeans!
I'm not a big fan of baskets as a whole. But I do have one soft stripey seagrass basket to drop sandals in by the front door and I really love it.
oh jeesh..mom jeans..hahaha..comparison..I know, I know...but I find myself 'sneaking' back baskets to put stuff in over time....uncovered, with nice vintage tea towel over it and all,but....there are super nice and cool baskets out there..made out of high tech looking material or 'low country' simple baskets..natural materials..just NOT plastic..like the HOT PINK plastic ones under my sink: )
I like the convenience of baskets, but I can never get them to work in my household. I realize now that part of the problem has been not labeling the basket, but there's also the fact that it's too tempting to drop anything you don't feel like walking to its actual place in any nearby basket, and they are too tempting to children. At least young children, who love the exercise of taking everything out of a basket and putting it back, but mostly taking everything out. And leaving it lying around.
Does anyone know what where i can find the glass, gasket bottles in the last picture? i live in hawaii and places to find things is limited, so online referrals would be really helpful! thanks!
shockthebourgeois-It looks like the framed illustration might be from The Brambly Hedge series by Jill Barklem which I love. They are little stories about mice. The detailed illustrations are wonderful!
It is brambly bunch!!! love them too!!!
Storage baskets are looking really great. You may also look Ballard Designs. They've quality alternatives.
I used to have a huge collection of really great baskets. At each of my yard sales (about every 3-4 years) I get rid of more. I still have a few but now they're starting to feel really dated. And they're taking up too much space...I'd always used them as storage and as nice touches here and there. Now they only ones I have patience for are the squared off versions that tuck neatly into a white shelving unit. And even those are getting a second thought now...I keep looking for validation to keep them...Yes, I wear mom-jeans...how'd you know!

10 strategies to maximize your 401k
It's not enough to sock money away and hope it grows. Managing your nest egg correctly can mean all the difference in your golden years.
At a time when most people don't have a traditional pension, protecting your 401k balance is essential to a secure retirement. Pay close attention to 401k rules to make sure fees, taxes and penalties don't bite into that balance. Here are 10 ways to make the most of your 401k plan:
Don't accept the default savings rate. New employees are increasingly likely to be signed up automatically for a retirement account at work, most often by having 3% of their pay deposited in their company's 401k plan. But saving 3% of your salary, while certainly better than not saving anything, may not be adequate to fund your current lifestyle in retirement.
"For a lot of people, that is not going to be enough," says Michele Clark, a certified financial planner for Clark Hourly Financial Planning in Chesterfield, Mo. "When you get a raise, save 1% more every year until you can get up to hopefully 20% of your pay."
Get the full match. The most common 401k match is 50 cents for each dollar saved up to 6% of pay. If your employer offers a 401k match, make sure you save enough to take full advantage of it. Capturing a 401k match is one of the fastest and easiest ways to boost your 401k balance.
Stay until you are vested. You won't get to keep the 401k match from your employer until you are fully vested in the 401k plan, which can sometimes take as long as five or six years of employment at the company. Some employers allow people who leave before they are fully vested to keep a portion of the match based on their years of employment, while other companies require workers who leave before the vestment period to forfeit the entire match. It can sometimes be worth thousands of dollars to continue to work for a company until you are fully vested in the 401k plan.
"If you are in a miserable employment situation or have a life-changing opportunity to go somewhere else, maybe you have to sacrifice the unvested portion," says Joel Kelley, a certified financial planner for Woodstone Financial in Asheville, N.C. "If you are considering a lateral move careerwise, you should definitely take that into account."
Maximize your tax break. Traditional 401k plans allow you to defer paying income tax on the money you save for retirement. Investors can contribute up to $17,500 to a 401k plan in 2013, up $500 from 2012. After age 50, the limit jumps to $23,000. Low-income workers who earn less than $29,500 for singles, $44,250 for heads of household and $59,000 for couples in 2013 and save in a 401k plan can additionally claim the saver's tax credit, which is worth up to $1,000 for individuals and $2,000 for couples.
Diversify with a Roth. A growing number of employers now also offer a Roth 401k option, in which workers can save after-tax dollars that are distributed tax-free in retirement. A Roth 401k generally offers the biggest benefits to young and low-income workers who expect to be in a higher tax bracket later on in their career, but it can also add tax diversification and flexibility to the portfolios of people closer to retirement.
Don't cash out. Most workers switch jobs several times over the course of their careers, which means they routinely need to decide what to do with the 401k balance at their former employers. It can be tempting to withdraw the cash, but workers who withdraw money from their 401k account before age 59 1/2 face a 10% early withdrawal penalty and income tax on the amount withdrawn. Early withdrawals also cause you to miss out on valuable compound interest, which is essential for building a large nest egg. "This money needs to be put away for retirement, and that's all it needs to be used for," says Carolyn McClanahan, a certified financial planner for Life Planning Partners in Jacksonville, Fla.
Do a fee-free 401k transfer. When you change jobs, you can generally leave your 401k balance at your former company or roll it over to an IRA or your new employer's 401k plan. If you decide to move your money, ask your former employer to directly transfer the balance to the new financial institution instead of cutting you a check. This will help you to avoid taxes and penalties.
Minimize fees. Investment options with high fees will significantly reduce your 401k balance over the course of your career. "Some 401k investments have very high costs, and you should pick the lowest-cost investment in your 401k plan that also matches you risk tolerance," says McClanahan. "If it's a high-cost 401k plan, then maybe consider saving in an IRA instead of the 401k after you get the match."
Workers now receive more information about the fees being deducted from their retirement accounts, thanks to new Labor Department rules. "If the funds are bad and the fees are high, start making noise to your human resources department and see about getting the plan changed," says Clark.
Diversify your assets. Choose a mix of stocks and funds that is appropriate for your risk tolerance, and periodically rebalance your portfolio to your target allocation. "As you approach retirement, shift a portion of your 401k to less-volatile mutual funds to preserve your capital," says Clark. But avoid making significant changes to your investment strategy on a whim. "The worst thing that you can do besides not participating is to attempt to time the market or change your investments every time you hear some economic news or story that could impact the market," says Kelley. "Stay the course."
Remember required minimum distributions. After age 70 1/2, you are required to take annual distributions from a traditional 401k (but not a Roth 401k). The penalty for failing to withdraw the correct amount is a stiff 50% of the amount that should have been withdrawn. Make sure you take required minimum distributions each year in retirement to avoid the penalty.

S.F. sheriff's wife says he is victim of politics
Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross, Chronicle Columnist

In an emotional interview on Venezuelan radio, the wife of embattled San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi vehemently denied she had been abused by her husband and said he was the "victim of very dirty politics."
"I am not a little Indian girl gringo victim," former Venezuelan telenovela star ElianaLopez told the Caracas station Noticias24 on Tuesday, four days after Mirkarimi was accused of three misdemeanor charges.
The charges - domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness - stem from an incident that took place at the couple's Western Addition home on New Year's Eve in which Mirkarimi allegedly bruised Lopez's arm. Lopez told a neighbor, who went to police, authorities say.
Lopez told reporters Friday at City Hall that "I don't have any complaint against my husband. We are together, and we are fighting this."
In the 20-minute, Spanish-language interview with Noticias24, Lopez said that what happened New Year's Eve was much more complex than has been reported. She said "the richest people in California are behind" an attempt to ruin her husband, according to a Chronicle translation of the interview.
Lopez suggested that her husband's progressive stances on jail issues - his desire to break the "vicious cycle" of incarceration of minorities, the homeless and mentally ill - made him unpopular with certain elements in the city.
"They couldn't win the election, so they fired this up as a way to take him down," she said. "They want to destroy his credibility. ... They know this is a political persecution."
Lopez said she had become acquainted with the neighbor who went to police, Ivory Madison, in weekend parenting classes. Both women have young children.
She acknowledged speaking to Madison on New Year's Day and having a video filmed, in which police say she displayed a bruise and referred to an earlier domestic violence incident involving Mirkarimi. But she said Madison may have had ulterior motives in going to police.
"I spoke with her, we had a discussion ... and she immediately used this against us," Lopez said. "Now we are trying to figure out what are the motives. ... She doesn't know anything about" the relationship between her and Mirkarimi.
"I have fought this and said it is a lie," Lopez said.
Madison, who describes herself on her website as a "radical feminist politico," has not responded to requests for comment.
Prosecutors secured an emergency protective order Friday barring Mirkarimi from seeing Lopez or the couple's 2-year-old son, at least until after his scheduled arraignment today. Lopez said the newly sworn-in sheriff had cried when he heard the news.
Lopez also denied that the couple's son had ever been in any danger. Prosecutors say Mirkarimi was charged with child endangerment because the boy had been present when Mirkarimi allegedly abused Lopez.
Lopez said she hoped those trying to convict Mirkarimi "will pay for the damage they are doing."
She concluded: "At times like this, I really miss Venezuela."

(See Chapter 3 of the NLTK book for more detailed information about tokenization.)
Tokenizers divide strings into lists of substrings. For example, tokenizers can be used to find the list of sentences or words in a string.
When tokenizing text containing Unicode characters, be sure to tokenize the Unicode string, and not (say), the UTF8-encoded version:
There are numerous ways to tokenize text. If you need more control over tokenization, see the methods described below.
The following tokenizers, defined in nltk.tokenize.simple, just divide the string using the string split() method.
The simple tokenizers are not available as separate functions; instead, you should just use the string split() method directly:
The simple tokenizers are mainly useful because they follow the standard TokenizerI interface, and so can be used with any code that expects a tokenizer. For example, these tokenizers can be used to specify the tokenization conventions when building a CorpusReader.
RegexpTokenizer splits a string into substrings using a regular expression. By default, any substrings matched by this regexp will be returned as tokens. For example, the following tokenizer selects out only capitalized words, and throws everything else away:
The following tokenizer forms tokens out of alphabetic sequences, money expressions, and any other non-whitespace sequences:
RegexpTokenizers can be told to use their regexp pattern to match separators between tokens, using gaps=True:
The nltk.tokenize.regexp module contains several subclasses of RegexpTokenizer that use pre-defined regular expressions:
All of the regular expression tokenizers are also available as simple functions:
The function regexp_tokenize() takes the text as its first argument, and the regular expression pattern as its second argument. This differs from the conventions used by Python's re functions, where the pattern is always the first argument. But regexp_tokenize() is primarily a tokenization function, so we chose to follow the convention among other tokenization functions that the text should always be the first argument.
The Treebank tokenizer uses regular expressions to tokenize text as in Penn Treebank. This is the method that is invoked by nltk.word_tokenize(). It assumes that the text has already been segmented into sentences.
SExprTokenizer is used to find parenthasized expressions in a string. In particular, it divides a string into a sequence of substrings that are either parenthasized expressions (including any nested parenthasized expressions), or other whitespace-separated tokens.
By default, SExprTokenizer will raise a ValueError exception if used to tokenize an expression with non-matching parenthases:
But the strict argument can be set to False to allow for non-matching parenthases. Any unmatched close parenthases will be listed as their own s-expression; and the last partial sexpr with unmatched open parenthases will be listed as its own sexpr:
The characters used for open and close parenthases may be customized using the parens argument to the SExprTokenizer constructor:
The s-expression tokenizer is also available as a function:
The PunktSentenceTokenizer divides a text into a list of sentences, by using an unsupervised algorithm to build a model for abbreviation words, collocations, and words that start sentences. It must be trained on a large collection of plaintext in the taret language before it can be used. The algorithm for this tokenizer is described in Kiss & Strunk (2006):
Kiss, Tibor and Strunk, Jan (2006): Unsupervised Multilingual Sentence Boundary Detection. Computational Linguistics 32: 485-525.
The NLTK data package includes a pre-trained Punkt tokenizer for English.
(Note that whitespace from the original text, including newlines, is retained in the output.)
Punctuation following sentences can be included with the realign_boundaries flag:
The nltk.tokenize.punkt module also defines PunktWordTokenizer, which uses a regular expression to divide a text into tokens, leaving all periods attached to words, but separating off other punctuation:
Some additional test strings.
Make sure that grouping parenthases don't confuse the tokenizer:
Make sure that named groups don't confuse the tokenizer:
Make sure that nested groups don't confuse the tokenizer:
The tokenizer should reject any patterns with backreferences:
A simple sentence tokenizer '.(s+|$)'

If there's any battleground state that should concern President Barack Obama, it's Nevada. The state leads the nation in unemployment. It ranks fifth in foreclosures after months in the top spot - or bottom, depending on how you look at it.
But with the help of a surging Latino population and a strong union presence, Obama holds a narrow lead over Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in this state with the fifth largest Hispanic population in the nation. The president has the support of nearly four out of five registered Latino voters in Nevada, according to Latino Decisions polling, which takes into account a 9 percent bump in support after Obama granted hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants two-year deferrals to remain in the country legally.
Nearly 270,000 Latinos are eligible to vote, accounting for about 15 percent of the electorate, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
"We're going to give Obama another chance," said Ruth Arriaza, a manager at a Latino fast food restaurant.
Arriaza, and her husband, Alex Martinez, 35, lost their "dream home" after going bankrupt during Obama's term, but they said he was the only candidate who really cared about immigrants.
Martinez, a heating and air conditioning technician, said he was disappointed in the president for failing to pass comprehensive immigration restructuring after campaigning on the issue, but he said Obama deserved credit for using his executive powers to helping children who were brought to the country illegally by their parents.
Not all Latinos feel the same way. Rolando, 69, and Esperanza Varera, 58, also lost their house. And they don't see the president helping them get it back. Esperanza, who's originally from Mexico, said that what many recent Latino immigrants failed to understand was that if they didn't have jobs and couldn't keep their homes, then there was no future for them in the United States.
"They say we should be Democrats," she said. "They say Republicans don't like Latinos, but that's not true. The Republicans are the ones who are going to fix our economy so that Latinos can get their jobs back."
Nevada has only 2.7 million residents, but its six electoral votes could be decisive in the election. Obama's support may have surged with Latinos, but it's dropped with white Nevadans, giving Romney an opportunity. Still, Romney must overcome the fact that Nevada voters don't fit traditional voter profiles. And more 70 percent of the population lives in socially liberal Clark County, home to the most extravagant casinos in the nation.
"We're a state built on gambling," said Eric Herzik, a political scientist at the University of Nevada, Reno. "The bars never close. We have legalized prostitution in 10 counties. We're at the bottom of the percentage of individuals who attend church."
In interviews with dozens of residents across Las Vegas, it's clear that the economy wasn't necessarily everyone's top issue. On social issues is where Republicans generally lose ground, Herzik said.
Both candidates paid Nevada a visit last week, each seeking to motivate supporters and convince remaining undecided residents that he's the best-qualified man to tackle local challenges.
On Wednesday night at a rally outside Las Vegas, Obama touted falling unemployment rates and rising home values. He warned that a Romney presidency would "turn the clock back 50 years for women and immigrants and gays."
Earlier that afternoon in Reno, Romney zeroed in on struggling homeowners. He warned that a second term for Obama would mean "the values of your homes continue to bump along in the basement."
Obama handily won Nevada in 2008 with 55 percent of the vote, but he's lost the backing of many supporters over the lack of economic progress since the Great Recession. The state is far from a Democratic stronghold; George W. Bush won it in 2000 and 2004.
Like many of their friends, Jeff and Alicia Wagner voted for Obama in 2008, believing that he could put Nevada and the country back on track. Unemployment had reached 8 percent that November, which was its highest in two decades, and the state already was leading lists of "worst hit" states from the recession.
The Wagners' optimism turned sour as the state's unemployment rate continued to rise, peaking at 14.5 percent last year. An architect, Jeff Wagner said his best friend had lost his job and then his home. Their own home is worth 50 percent less than they paid for it, he said.
"Four years ago it was very clear that our peer group was in Obama's camp," said Alicia Wagner, 29, an interior designer. "We just saw a lot of friends take steps backwards."
"We believed in the rhetoric of change," Jeff Wagner, 33, said after voting for Romney in early polling. It was his first vote ever for a Republican president.
Ethan Souder, 32, his wife, Laura, and his 7-year-old daughter attended Romney's Oct. 23 Las Vegas rally. A member of the U.S. military, he's being dispatched to the Middle East next month, his fourth overseas assignment.
Emphasizing that he was speaking only for himself, Souder criticized Obama for planned defense cuts and said the country needed a new leader like Romney. Part of the cuts stem from a deal agreed on by the president and bipartisan members of Congress that involved a package of spending reductions if a budget deficit-reduction program isn't in place by the end of this year."I'd like to help, but (military regulations) prevent me from volunteering for any political campaign," he said.
Republicans also have cut into the Democrats' registration lead in Nevada. As of April, they'd reduced Democrats' advantage to 36,000 registered active voters. But with the help of the unions, who've paid some members to take time from their casino jobs to register voters, the Democrats made a strong final push. They now have 90,000 more active voters registered than Republicans do.
There are some signs of improvement in Nevada. Foreclosures have begun to drop and home values are rising.
Those seeds of hope are enough for Kyle Matthews to stick with Obama. The trade show coordinator said exhibitions were coming back as well, giving her optimism about the future. Watching football last week at Meatheads video poker bar, she said she worried about Romney's lack of specifics on the loopholes he'd close to cut tax rates.
"When I talk to my friends, we at least think we're on the right track," she said. "And there's a lot of trepidation for someone who's not articulating a clear path."
Still, the state continues to lead the nation in unemployment, at 11.8 percent. More than 70 percent of Nevada homeowners owe more money on their mortgages than their homes are worth, known as being "underwater," according to RealtyTrac, which tracks foreclosures across the country.
Among the eye-catching billboards that advertise comedy shows and strip shows are others from lawyers promoting their expertise in short-selling underwater homes.
Those types of concerns are on the minds of dozens of volunteers at the Romney headquarters in Las Vegas, where they make hundreds of calls a day encouraging supporters to get out and vote.
"If you're sick, you call a doctor," said volunteer Alex Caveda, 30, who said he's struggled to get full-time work since he graduated four years ago from University of Nevada, Las Vegas. "You have a problem with the economy, you get someone who has worked and succeeded in the economy."

The courts have ruled that the at-large caucus sites for shift workers in casinos on the Vegas strip are legal. The Clinton team's nominal complaint that this procedure still makes it very difficult for other shift workers to vote is accurate, but of course their proposed remedy of making it harder for casino workers to vote is no remedy at all. Caucuses are, in general, an abomination but working to make them even less democratic doesn't help anything.

Concert review: No World Series game but plenty of power with Two of a Perfect Pair tour at the Old Rock House, Wednesday, October 26
I entered the Old Rock House on Wednesday evening two hours before show time to see the Two of a Perfect Pair tour featuring Adrian Belew's Power Trio and Tony Levin's band Stickmen, for a VIP meet and greet.
I wasn't sure what to expect. I had been steeped in excitement for months after the announcement of this event, but unsure if my enthusiasm was to be shared. Much to my amazement any doubt was quickly erased. Standing before me were at least 60-80 people. There was Tony Levin — bass player for King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, John Lennon and Pink Floyd — standing just inches from me surrounded by others as enchanted as myself signing autographs, posing for photos and chatting away just like he was at a neighbor's backyard barbecue. At this point I knew I was in for something special.
On stage there were two mammouth drum kits, two laptops, two towering bass rigs and a comfy stool. What was to come from this array, might just be the club concert of the year. Taking the stage shortly after 8 p.m. was Tony's band the Stickmen. From my position crammed in the corner of the stage over by the drums (by now the room was filled to near capacity), I witnessed one of my heroes Pat Mastelotto climb behind his drum kit mixed with both acoustic and electric components. My adrenaline started to flow. Joining Pat and Tony on stage was Markus Reuter the Austrian born inventor of the Touch Guitar.This instrument is both guitar and bass in one played by "touching" the strings. This is how the band may have come about it's name. Tony uses a Chapman Stick, which is played similarly by striking the strings on the fretboard. Of course Pat uses "sticks" to caress his playing surfaces on his drums: Ergo, the Stickmen.
Once the group were settled in behind their respective equipment, they soared into King Crimson's "BBoom." I could swear I saw many a chin hit the floor. To the uninitiated, this was a sight to see. Pure energy. For the next 45 minutes, the band played several songs from their CDs "Soup" and "Absalom." A couple of my favorite selections being "Crack in the Sky," featuring eerie vocals from Tony, a quirky hypnotic groove from Pat and soundscapes oozing from Markus' Touch Guitar triggered from his laptop, and a cover of Robert Fripp's "Breathless" from his solo album "Exposure" that is very rarely ever played. Then the musicians capped their all-too-short set with an amazing rendition of the "Firebird Suite" by composer Igor Stravinsky.
After a 10 – 15 minute break, the evening's headliner hit the stage: Adrian Belew's Power Trio. Adrian was dressed in his usual dapper slacks and t-shirt, carrying his signature Parker guitar. Joining Adrian on the stage were Julie Slick on bass and Tobias Ralph on the drums.
Adrian began the evening by thanking the crowd for coming out, and referencing the cancellation of the World Series game, he proceeded to race into his song "Young Lions." The bass howled, the guitar soared and the drums exploded into a cacophony of power. The power trio had hit the stage. Mr. Belew then introduced the band. When it came time to introduce himself, he said we should just call himself "Lois." He then played a smoking set consisting of tunes from his storied career covering songs from King Crimson and his albums "Op Zop Too Wah," "Here," "Side One, Side Three" and "e."
My attention was drawn to the playing of the young bass player Julie Slick. To say the least, she is a monster. She simply destroyed her guitar, aggressively manipulating every tone to rip right through the mix, marrying distortion and clean sounds as effortlessly as walking through the park. Halfway through their set, the crowd could be heard chanting "JOOOO-LEEEEE" in support and admiration. Her performance, shredding barefoot like a curly-haired dervish, was worth every penny of the admission price. Tobias Ralph kept the beat in this odd world of outrageous time signatures flawlessly, with reckless abandon. His sheer brutality in striking the skins of his kit looked like part labor of love mixed with unadulterated passion as he mixed polyrhythm after polyrhythm.
All in all, this trio encompassed the term power. As their time came to a close during the title track to the album "e," Adrian said, "Don't go anywhere, we are just getting started," and left the stage to thunderous applause of a very hungry crowd. Hungry, because they knew what was coming next: The Crimson set.
Coming back again after a short break, three-fourths of the last King Crimson band hit the stage and appropriately began playing "Three of a Perfect Pair" and "Sleepless" with Tony strapping on his thunder fingers (small drum sticks attached to his fingers to strike his bass strings). As fantastic as the evening had been so far, it was obvious this is what the audience had been waiting for.
Everyone pushed forward in what appeared to be an effort to absorb the vibe this amazing trio was throwing out. Markus came up and joined the fun by launching into the Crimson classic "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" assuming the textural role usually held by Robert Fripp.
The show finished with Ralph and Slick rounding out the double trio that Crimson toured with during the '90s to play several tunes from the infamous '80s era. "Indiscipline" and "Dinosaur," which Adrian said was the closest to a Beatles tune King Crimson ever had, and "Thela Hun Gingeet" finished an incredible night.
As the bands gathered to mingle with the crowd afterwards, I found myself feeling like I had just watched a World Series game. I was euphoric and exhausted — and had seen all kinds of power.

'How Did Daddy Plant the Seed in You?'
Due to the recent addition of a new baby, my other two kids got really curious about how -- ahem -- babies are made. Yikes!
Kristin Bailey Murphy: When my husband, Patrick, and I announced to our children, Lauren and Charlie, that they would soon be getting a new little sister or brother, they were beyond excited. Jumping-up-and-down-with-shrieks-of-joy excited. Patrick and I were pleasantly surprised; considering the usual sibling rivalry between them, we hadn't anticipated such an enthusiastic response. There was something else we hadn't anticipated, either: all of the questions. This one in particular was a real doozie:
"How did the baby get in your tummy?"
Uh oh. "Um ... Daddy planted a seed in there, and now it's growing into a baby," I replied.
"Yeah, but how did Daddy plant the seed?" they wanted to know.
Forget it. I had been dealing with nausea, fatigue and worries associated with my "advanced maternal age," so having "the talk" with my kids wasn't a priority. I told them I wasn't ready to have that discussion, and, at ages 8 and 6, neither were they. Of course, that only made their curiosity grow, and my husband and I were regularly asked the same question for several more months. Once their baby sister came home from the hospital, my kids' questioning naturally increased. But they gave up eventually, after getting the same tired response every time: "Shut up" (Just kidding.)
My kids and I had been able to avoid any talk of baby-making until recently, when, flipping through channels on TV, Lauren paused on an episode of "Deliver Me." Together we watched as a swollen, red-faced woman gave birth amidst loud directives: "Don't stop! Thatta girl! Puuuuuush!" With that, the subject of baby-making was brought up again. "It's time, Mom," said Lauren. She had grown up a lot since the baby was born, and she was right -- it was time. I knew she was mature enough to handle it, but now the question was: Was I?
"Just a second," I said, and left the room to call my husband for advice:
Me (pacing): "I'm about to have the sex talk with Lauren. What do I say?"
Patrick: "I don't know. Oh my God, how are you gonna keep a straight face?"
Me: "I'm hanging up."
Men. I decided to ignore my two predominate thoughts ("SH*TSH*TSH*TSH*T!" and "Yeah, how am I going to keep a straight face?") and just get it done.
In short, I did not use certain words, such as "erection," "Daddy's penis" and "Mommy's vagina" -- anything that would evoke in her 9-year-old brain an image of her parents going at it. I tried to be technical, yet use as much kid-friendly description as possible. I have to say it worked out well. I got the important facts across (and a promise from Lauren not to discuss it with her little brother or her friends -- "They'd gross out, anyway," she said), all with minimal blushing or laughter on either of our parts.
Every so often, Lauren will have another question. The other day, it was, "Mom, I heard Laurel say you get pregnant by kissing. That's not true, right?"
"Well, it can sure start the process," I answered -- and then we had a good refresher course on the whole thing. I'm glad I got to her before her friends did.

I'm mature enough to have this conversation yet I still don't want to think about it in this context, lol.

What is it about asking for help that makes people less willing to ask? Is it easier to just put what you need rather than request it?
It seems that so many people in our world are adverse to the idea of asking for help or what they need. Why is it that people seem to hate to request things? Why do we feel shame, disgust, hatred when we rely on others?

Tina WangSep 23 2013: I always ask for help when I need it :) I don't consider it shameful or indicative that I am less capable. Everyone is good at different things and there is a reason for collaboration and team work. It's more efficient this way too.
Perhaps being so adverse to asking for help has been subtly seeped into our head through competitions: what makes you the best candidate? What makes you better above all others? If we are better, why seek help from the lesser?
Sep 24 2013: I like your observations. Your remark:
" Everyone is good at different things and there is a reason for collaboration and team work. "
......reminds me of something I once heard from some geezer friend of mine....."It is not WHAT you know, but rather WHO you know.......and HOW you know them"

Anonymous asked: I have been in and out of a really bad relationship for the past year or so, and I recently told my ex that we shouldn't talk anymore… and I really just need someone to tell me that it is a good decision and everything is going to be okay. Because honestly, I miss him. I know he wasn't good for me, but he was a big part of my life and I feel like I am not going to get any better. I messed up a lot already with him, so I don't feel like I'm good enough to have one of those good Christian relationships that people talk about. Can you help me? [Edited for length]
Kelseyisms answered: Hey love. Wow, with you being such a strong, beautiful, and honest girl I hardly believe you when you say this guy is the best you can get… So let's look at the real problem here:
You have lost a lot of confidence after you've lost this relationship—you've kind of lost your identity. You are afraid that you won't have one of those "good Christian relationships" because of your past, and you feel unworthy. The truth is that your choices do not define you, but Christ defines you, and He deems you worthy. You are worth nothing less than every drop of the blood of God Himself, and that makes you priceless.
You see, you're a princess, not because you have any Prince Charming, but because you are a daughter of the King of Kings. And this King traded in His throne for beggar's robes and a crown of thorns—all for His beautiful daughter. Any guy who doesn't see this is a guy who isn't worth your time, dear. A true Christian man will know your worth and will not discard you because of a wrong turn here or there. He will not "judge" you or think that you don't "deserve" him. He'll just see you and treat you for who you are: Royalty.
So know your worth, and tell yourself right now that you can do better. Turn from that junk in your past and from those guys who are less than good because you deserve better and you know it. Wait for the Prince who has asked your Daddy for your hand and settle for nothing less. And most importantly, put your identity in Christ again, not some boy or some situation. When you have your value placed in Him, you can simply look at His cross whenever you begin to doubt your worth again.
Anonymous asked: My ex and I have been on and off a couple times. He is very religious and we last broke up because there were too many differences with us and because he is not allowed to date (his parents won't allow him until he graduates) so he wants to honor their wishes. We last broke up 4 months ago and recently started talking again. I thought I was ok with being friends again until he started flirting with me and sending the signals that he still likes me. I approached him and asked why he was doing this. He explained that he is normally a flirty guy. I thought that he still loved me… we ended up sleeping together and ever since then I've been in an emotional wreck. The past four months that I spent trying to get over him feels like it all went to waste. I asked him after we slept together if he still wanted to be with me/still loved me, but he told me that he does not know if he loves me and that I should move on because he can't think of being with anyone right now. I feel like he doesnt love me because if a guy truly loves you, he would know for sure wouldnt he? I feel really lost. I'm trying so hard to piece this together with God.. trying to put faith in him and not be worried about this but my mind only thinks about this guy. [Edited for Length]
Kelseyisms answered: So you are wondering whether or not you should move on, and I get that. That can be hard to know! Love is a funny thing and it is a complicated thing, so sometimes it can be a bit confusing. So, even though my BS meter is ticking here, I can maybe buy the argument that "He isn't sure if he loves you or not." So let's look at what love is NOT and then we look at the evidence here and see where this guy fits in.
Love is NOT leading girls on and flirting with them, especially if you have no intentions of being with anyone.
Love is NOT demanding in any way—physically or emotionally. Those things are given freely in love, but not asked for.
Love is NOT self-serving. Love is completely and totally unselfish. It always puts the feelings of the Beloved above its own desires.
And while I don't know this man, I would say that he has done all of these things… He has led you on with no intention of a relationship, he has taken from you both emotionally and physically, and he has acted rather selfishly and disregarded your feelings and his own actions as he played with your emotions. So all in all, hun, I'd say that his advice for you to move on is probably the best thing that he has said yet.
You are a precious creation and a daughter of the King of Kings. That makes you Royalty, love! You're a princess. And any guy who doesn't treat you as such is not one deserving of your love. Yes, getting over someone takes a lot of time, so it is natural that you'll think of him for a while. However, you already know the solution here. You said it yourself. You're putting your faith in God.
If you cling to Him and fill your life more with His love rather than the love of this boy or any other, I promise each day will get easier. It will hurt less daily and He will heal the scars on your heart. It is a process, for sure, and during this process, it is best if you keep this boy out of the picture. He can only confuse and hurt you at this point… He hasn't been loving you at all like a godly man should, even if he claims to be "religious". That's the funny thing about godly love… It has little to do with "religion" and everything to do with a life dedicated to Christ.
And until God is your number one priority, it is probably best to maintain this distance with him and maybe take a break from guys in general. Ladies, don't rush the whole relationship thing. Being single can be pretty dang awesome. Enjoy it! Once you've got God as your number one, He'll show you a guy so great you'll wonder why you ever wanted anyone else. But until that moment, just lean on Him and let Him take the place in your heart where this man or any man has been.
Oh… And want to know the best part? You'll never have to wonder whether or not God loves you. He is all for you. He would, very literally, go to the grave for you… and you're not going to find a love like that anywhere else.
Anonymous asked: Been a few months since my ex and I broke up. Long story short I feel the same way as that girl in that post you responded to with Unka Glen. Not only is that an issue.. but I've been having these nightmares that involve him and I don't know if it's maybe a sign from God? This has never really happened before and it's really been affecting my life lately. What should I do? I've prayed about this for months now and I can only find peace in my heart for a short time until this reoccurs
Unkaglen answered: As far as the dreams go, there are a couple of possibilities here:
Possibility #1: It means nothing at all, and it's just you having a weird moment because you had too much spicy food last night. As Scrooge says to Marley's ghost in A Christmas Carol: "You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"
Possibility #2: Your brain is wrestling with unresolved emotions and issues and struggles that you're having.
Possibility #3: God is trying to tell you something (there's certainly Biblical precedent for that).
My money would be on #2, and this comes down to something that you just can't seem to let go of. How do we let go of something that once meant so much to us?
Kelseyisms answered: I totally agree with Unkaglen here. And for those who need a peek at the last post, you can find it here.
Obviously what you're struggling to let go of is this relationship, here. I would really encourage you to evaluate why it is so hard to let go as well. That sounds rather obvious, but we actually tend to skip this step in the letting go process. Is it hard because he was your best friend? First love? You were together a long time? You still have feelings for him? etc.etc. Once we know what the problem is and where it hurts, then we can really address it. If you and this guy are still friends, there is nothing wrong at all with taking a little break from being friends. Step back and allow yourself some time to heal before trying to continue with this.
But at the same time, don't try to do this all by yourself. Talk it out with friends or an adult you really look up to. As I said in the last post, grab some girl friends and grab some ice cream. No seriously. You'd be surprised just how much it helps.
Remember, love, God wants to fill your heart's greatest desires. Maybe this guy is taking His place right now. Fix your heart and mind totally on Him and depend on Him alone (Not this dude or any dude for that matter) and He will give you peace and rest beyond all imagination.
Anonymous asked: So, its been 5 months since my boyfriend and I broke up. I've tried everything to reconcile with him, as friends, and yeah, we're friends. I've been more than willing to forgive him for the pain he's caused me, and I'm open for anything he has to say. The thing is, it seems…
Whether you feel it or not, you are worth nothing less than the very blood of God Himself and that makes you the most priceless treasure in all of creation. And any guy who doesn't realize this and treat you like a precious treasure is one who isn't worth a minute of your time.
From "Just Not Feeling the Love"
Anonymous asked: Hello! There seems to be a certain guy that I just can't get over. He and I never actually dated, but I didn't do a great job of guarding my heart. I have tried several times to distance myself from him, but every single time I finally feel like I've moved past it, he makes his way back into my life again. This has been going on for around 3 years now and I'm tired of placing my self-worth in whether or not he acknowledges me. I know that I deserve better than someone who uses my feelings for him to his advantage, but it's so hard to move on because I'm not even certain that there will ever be anyone else who wants me. Can you give me some advice on how to start truly believing that I am a daughter of the King of Kings and, therefore, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I know that, but I'm having the hardest time believing it. Thank you in advance.
Kelsey-isms answered: Okay, can I start by saying that OF COURSE THERE WILL BE OTHERS THAT WANT YOU! Who wouldn't want a smart, beautiful, talented, amazing daughter of God? There are about 7 billion people on earth and I promise you, out of the male half, there are plenty of fabulous guys who want a girl who loves Jesus. So, whoever this guy of yours is, it is his loss if he doesn't recognize your worth, dear, and not yours.
But I think you know all of this already, but you are asking me specifically how you can feel this and therefore believe it more. The honest answer, unfortunately, is that I cannot tell you anything that will make you feel the love of God. Sometimes, we just don't "feel" it. Love is so much more than feelings, though. Love is so dynamic and deep that it goes beyond the surface of our emotions. Sometimes we feel the love of God like a raging, burning fire, and sometimes we just see it as a vast, deep ocean.
See, we can experience God's love in so many different ways that often when we aren't experiencing it in that fiery, passionate way that we usually associate with love we tend to think that we are not experiencing it at all. This is not true.The important thing for you to do is to know and remind yourself in those moments when you are not "feeling" His love that is it always, always there. Sometimes, we just have to know our worth and remind ourselves of it constantly. This takes a lot of help from God, ministers, and good friends, so make sure that you seek them out in this process (You can always ask me too. I would love to listen, hun).
There are so many good guys out there, even though it may seem hard to find them sometimes. Trust me…a good thing is worth waiting for though. Would you rather wait for a five star restaurant? Or go through the MacDonald's drive through instantly? And maybe this guy of yours isn't a MacDonald's, but he isn't sounding quite like a five star joint at the moment either. It sounds like he isn't mature enough for such an awesome woman of God yet. The same goes for any guy who doesn't recognize just how special you are. Whether you feel it or not, you are worth nothing less than the very blood of God Himself and that makes you the most priceless treasure in all of creation. And any guy who doesn't realize this and treat you like a precious treasure is one who isn't worth a minute of your time.
I know that guys have said hurtful things to you and about you.
I know you've been lied to, cheated on, treated like dirt, and maybe even abused.
I know you've had so many disappointments and let downs.
I know that you have loved and given so much more than you could spare to a guy who didn't care.
I know that guys haven't appreciated you and your beauty.
I know that these things and these actions make you feel worthless.
But I also know that your worth is dependent on the blood of One Man alone—not any of the others who failed you. He loves you so much, He would go to the greatest lengths just to show you how special you are to Him. And the right man is going to know this as well and he will treat you like the precious jewel you are.
I know that people sometimes hurt us and mess up big time, but it is their loss.
Song of Solomon 2:7 - Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Song of Solomon 3:5 - Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Song of Solomon 8:4 -Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Solomon, the man known for his wisdom, said it himself ladies—three times, in fact. Do not rush this whole "love" thing. When we push it and search for it in all the wrong places, we always settle and we always end up with heartache. And trust me, the right guy is going to be so worth the wait that you'll wonder why you ever even wasted your time with anyone else.
Have you ever heard "You always find what you're looking for once you stop looking for it"? Well, I can promise you it's true with many things, not just relationships, but it definitely applies there also. So stop looking for the guy and instead seek God with all of your heart. Remember, your longing for love is truly a longing for Him. God is love. So get lost in Him, beautiful Daughters of Jerusalem, and do not awaken the love of another until it's time.
To my wonderful Christian guys, know what you should be looking for in your lovely lady?
Your lady isn't a damsel in distress, at least not anymore. I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to abandon the Knight-in-Shining-Armor complex with your lady. She's already been saved, and it wasn't you who saved her. Her Knight rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and her King wore a crown of thorns. Yeah, He's different, to be sure, but I promise, He got the job done when it came time to do the rescuing. So your lady needs to know that she's saved and she's a Princess. She doesn't need your help in that department.
Your lady isn't a wilting flower. She's a solid temple with the Cornerstone of Christ. She's going to help you, sustain you, stand up for you, shelter you, and respect you like crazy.
Your lady is more than a pretty face (And other body parts. Yes, I know how you think, guys). Her beauty comes from God and she knows it. It's a beauty that doesn't fade with time or age or physical scars. She's confident in her identity and she isn't going to fish for or ask for compliments (But give them to her anyway, to let her know those awesome things about her are appreciated).
Your lady doesn't love or depend on you first. That's right, I said it! Her love is for that awesome King who saved her and you are second to that. But because she loves that Savior first, she has the picture of His perfect love in her mind when she's looking at you. So she's going to be able to love you better than any average girl who makes you the center of her world.
Remember! You aren't her Knight in Shining Armor, but you've gotta love her Knight anyway. Because she knows who she is and what she wants, her and her Daddy the King are going to be pretty picky on who she can settle down with. So be brave and don't settle for anything less than these things in your lady. I promise, she's worth the wait.

In the past
week, two different well respected establishments lauded Microsoft. First,
there was Fortune Magazine naming Microsoft as one of the most admired
companies! We ranked in the Top 10 - ninth to be exact, which is up two spots
from last year. If you compare across industry, Microsoft was ranked #3, also a
two spot jump from last year. What made Microsoft stand out?
In the past couple of years Microsoft
has rolled out strong new products. Search engine Bing is a viable (though
still vastly less popular) alternative to Google.
Xbox Kinect has successfully cut into
the motion-sensor video game market in which Nintendo Wii and PlayStation Move
compete. And its Windows Phone 7, according to early reports, is holding its
own against Android, iPhone and BlackBerry.
Microsoft also says it has sold 300
million licenses for the Windows 7 operating system to date.
See the rest
of the list and details here!
This great news
was followed up this week by the fine folks at Guinness World Records naming the Kinect as the Fastest
Selling Consumer Electronics Device. Congratulations to the Kinect team and to
the Kinect support team for providing a great product!
World Records, the global authority on record breaking, today confirm that the
Kinect for the Xbox 360 is the Fastest-Selling Consumer Electronics Device.
The hardware, that allows controller-free gaming, sold through an average of
133,333 units per day, for a total of 8 million units in its first 60 days on
sale from 4 November 2010 to 3 January 2011.
sales figures outstrip both the iPhone and the iPad for the equivalent periods
after launch.
Gaz Deaves, Editor of Guinness World Records 2011 Gamer's Edition, said: "The
sales figures here speak for themselves. We can confirm that no other consumer
electronics device sold faster within a 60-day time span, an incredible
achievement considering the strength of the sector."
If you want to be part
of this kind of amazing energy, then you might like to know that Commercial
Technical Support is definitely hiring right now. Check them out here, where you can also find a link to

For many years during the beginning of his career, Michael Chiklis had never been nominated for an Emmy, nonetheless won one, but all that changed in 2002. At the 2002 Emmys, Chiklis was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as a crooked cop on The Shield. The competition was stiff and included Martin Sheen (The West Wing) and Kiefer Sunderland (24), so one can only imagine that Chiklis was keeping his expectations low for his first Emmy nod.
