There's a writing website I visit nearly everyday to find out which publishers have submissions calls or which publishers I should avoid. For the last several months, one writer has been posting many, many messages about how Publisher X has been mistreating her by not sending royalty statements, royalty checks, not responding to emails, etc. The writer made it appear she was posting not only to vent but to warn other aspiring authors away from Publisher X. I admired this because there are a lot of publishers out there who will take advantage of newbie writers who don't know any better, and there's precious little information out there to warn them.
Today I visited the website and there was a post from the writer, whose last post bragged about filing a class action lawsuit, saying she had an announcement. A link led back to her website where she'd written that she and Publisher X had "amicably settled" the lawsuit. That's it. After months of ranting and raving, the writer ended her soap opera with a whimper, not a bang. That's her prerogative, but what's really bugged me is how she deleted all the posts that described Publisher X's mistreatment. When other posters asked her about it, she said that the settlement with Publisher X prevented her from discussing its terms.
What bothers me is that by deleting her posts, the writer has taken away valuable information that would have been helpful to newbie writers in making decisions about where to submit their work. Obviously, I don't have the whole story because it might very well have been that the writer exaggerated her plight and had to delete the posts because of the inaccurate portrayal of Publisher X. However, I doubt it because there are lots of other writers who are having the same problems with Publisher X. But it still bugs me that the writer tried to rally people around her cause for so many months, only to take a settlement and delete the posts. I know it's irrational, but I feel really irritated by it.
I finished polishing a story to submit for an anthology and I'm exhausted. I really need to find a better way to balance my time instead of pushing myself right up until the last minute. I work better under the pressure of a deadline but this frenzy I whip myself into to make the deadline is so tiring. I need to get an earlier start so that it doesn't have to come to this.
Rain in June in northeast Florida is not uncommon but I'd been planning an outdoor workout today and had to postpone because of rain. I worked out inside instead, but it would have been to exercise outside because it feels like I've been cooped up a lot lately. Oh well, as long as I got the workout in, I guess inside or outside doesn't really matter.
I'm going to a barbecue tomorrow, and as much as I love grilled hamburgers with all the trimmings, I'm not going to pig out. Even though I've been pretty good about my diet lately and rationalizing a little cheating would be easy, I'm going to continue on my path to better health.
I'm loving the cool weather we're having right now. Usually in northeast Florida this time of year, the heat and humidity is just getting cranked up. I'm scared that cool weather now means an extra brutal summer, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. At least I won't be afraid to open my electric bill next month since my air conditioner is getting a break.

2012 Best Attraction Tournament: Best Traditional Wooden Roller Coaster?
Written by Robert Niles
Let's go old school for our thrill rides today, and vote on the Best Traditional Wooden Roller Coaster in the 2012 Theme Park Insider Tournament. One note before anyone goes nuts here: This is only one of two categories in the tournament for wooden coasters. The wooden "megas," if you will, the next-generation wood/steel hybrid coasters such as The Voyage and El Toro, have their own category, and we'll see them on Feb. 2.Tweet
Remember, these are the top five voted by Theme Park Insider readers over the past year. So if you don't see a particular coaster here, it's because it didn't make top five.
If you've got a favorite among these, just jump down to the vote. If not, click through to our ride description pages, where you'll find photos, reader reviews and even a few videos. Still not decided? Check out the comments, where other readers will be campaigning for your vote.
Apocalypse - at Six Flags Magic Mountain. (Formerly known as Terminator Salvation: The Ride.)
The Beast - at Kings Island
Lightning Racer - at Hersheypark
Prowler - at World of Fun
Thunderhead - at Dollywood
Readers' Opinions
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 8:01 AM
In today's vote, I have no choice but to go with my much maligned home park, Worlds of Fun, and its one entry in this year's tournament.
Prowler, which debuted in 2009, is an outstanding wooden coaster and a big deal for us folks stuck in the Midwest. The ride itself is as smooth as silk, and fast as lightning. The oh-so-cozy trains hug the terrain and turn on a dime, sweeping through the course effortlessly and relentlessly. The way the track embraces and utilizes the surrounding landscape makes the attraction a truly one-of-a-kind experience, and the "midnight ride" offered by Prowler (no lighting on the track after the lift hill) is second to none. This local favorite is not the tallest, longest, or fastest wooden coaster I have ever ridden, but it is a top notch contender and further evidence that Great Coasters International, Inc., just knows how to build a terrific coaster. Furthermore, in today's vote, only the Beast and Thunderhead offer serious competition, however most of that competition stems from a romanticized history of the excitement those two rides used to offer, and not from their current ride experience. So instead of voting for yesterday's stand-outs, support my local park and go with the new-kid-on-the-block: PROWLER! A vote for Prowler is a show of support for small, hometown parks everywhere!
From Mike Gallagher on January 18, 2012 at 8:34 AM
OK, now we're on MY turf :)
Not a single Disney or Universal attraction to be found. I almost feel like I'm on a different site.
Wood roller coasters are the biggest attraction for me at parks. Unfortunately, I have not been to Magic Mountain or Worlds of Fun, so Apocalypse and Prowler (a ride I've heard incredible things about from people I trust, including Mr. Rao's comments above) are non-contenders for me.
I had 22 rides on Thunderhead on my one Dollywood visit, and it's a wonderful ride. Great views, decent airtime, smooth. It went into my Top Ten, but never cracked Top Five. Partly because I didn't get to ride at night, which is an important factor for me in a woodie if other things are equal. Beast will always be a favorite of mine, but the rides I've had on Lightning Racer the last several years have just been SO MUCH FUN! I like the racing, I like the camaraderie, I love the way it LOOKS at night, I like the MF trains, I like the way it feels 20mph FASTER after dark. I just realized in voting today, that I have more fun on LR than any other coaster I ride regularly..including El Toro. Is it a better ride? Maybe not, but for me it's a blast.
The only traditional (TPI classified) wood coaster I'd rank above LR and Beast is Waldameer's Ravine Flyer II, but of course, that's nowhere to be found here.
My vote in this category surprised me. I voted for Lightning Racer.
From 184.108.40.206 on January 18, 2012 at 8:41 AM
Agree with Mike ..my vote is for Lightning Racer in th absence of EL TORO. I had a good fortune of riding all the contenders last year, but lightnin racer is way more fun than others
From Mike Gallagher on January 18, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Slow comments day. Maybe that relates to my Disney/Universal comment above. Yes, folks, there are other amusement parks out there. Surprise, surprise!
From Carl Stovall on January 18, 2012 at 9:51 AM
I am on board with Mr. Rao. I rode Prowler several times over the last few years, including a few jaunts during my lunch break just to hop on the ride. Now that I have moved to the DFW area, I would say Prowler is one of the things I miss most about Kansas City...though I do have a pretty good non-traditional replacement in the New Texas Giant nearby. Kudos to the bracket makers for including this obviously hidden gem (I say obvious because the percentage of the vote is way too low for this masterpiece).
From Manny Rodriguez on January 18, 2012 at 10:21 AM
Haven't. Been on any of these but the way thunderhead works and the speed and I do like that it has the (head chopper effect) or close calls if you will so that's what I voted
From 188.8.131.52 on January 18, 2012 at 10:46 AM
The beast at night just steals the show that no other can put on
From Beth Olliges on January 18, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Thunderhead for me! I have a sentimental fondness for The Beast, but it's gotten a bit rough over the years. I've only been to Dollywood a couple of times (hope to get back this summer!), but Thunderhead made a definite impression. Best airtime I've ever experienced!
From Mike Bianucci on January 18, 2012 at 12:51 PM
I voted for Beast although I have not riden it in years. I liked the fact that you could not see what was coming next and the double helix and the surprise tunnel. I still think this one is the best.
I have riden Thunderhead many times and each time i ride it I like it a little less. It must be my the pain in my ribcage that is accentuated after multiple rides.
I was glad to see this category- there are so many wood coasters out there and more often than not they are found at "amusement" parks. Many times the theme parks have copied these older gems.
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Time for KC to be heard. The power of social networking is about to be tested. Go Prowler!!
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 3:04 PM
Just like its masterful track layout, Prowler is racing to a ferocious finish!
From Robert Niles on January 18, 2012 at 4:06 PM
(Cue dramatic music) TH delivered for Jungle Cruise and Men in Black. Can his archrival, James, do the same for Prowler? Find out tomorrow (whoosh!) on Theme Park Insider! (Roll credits)
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 4:19 PM
Hey, I defeated Everest's broken Yeti already, and squeaked out a narrow (hee hee) PotC victory, but it is tough for a small Midwest park to topple Goliath! (I should not have deactivated my Facebook account! Arrrrgh!!)
In all honestly, though, Prowler is the best of this fine collection of coasters.
From Brad Schuster on January 18, 2012 at 4:17 PM
The beast has that final section where you slowly spiral down a hill gradually picking up speed until you are flat out flying towards a wooden tunnel and feeling like you only have seconds to live. It is hands down the most thrilling and awesome element of a wooden coaster I have ever experienced. Add that to the fact that before you even get to that point the ride has already been 3+ minutes of pure speed and thrills flying through a forest and you can see why, in my opinion, it wont ever be topped. This monster is one of a kind and if you still don't believe me, try rideing it at night.
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 8:12 PM
I fear the King's Island social network has been alerted. Not much I can do now but make one final plea: The Beast is like that venerable NFL star who continues to make the Pro Bowl even though his best years are in the distant past. Sometimes the brash, young superstars don't get the respect they deserve until they too are past their prime.
Come on, folks, vote for Prowler now, while it is still young, smooth, and has that new wood smell!!!
From 18.104.22.168 on January 18, 2012 at 5:45 PM
Beast is a classic. The double helix is one of the best elements of any coaster. And the dark ride at night makes a great coaster even better. None of the other coasters here compare to it. Especially not Prowler.
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 8:03 PM
Blah, blah, blah, WHAT-ever! Jerry Rice is a classic, too, but you don't see him winning Super Bowls anymore, do you?
Prowler will do what it does best, FINISH STRONG!!! Come on, Worlds of Fun fans, let's bring this race home!!!
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 8:16 PM
What a battle!!! The Beast and Prowler are clawing and scratching to the bitter end!!! Come on, Prowler!!
From James Rao on January 18, 2012 at 8:59 PM
We still have about ten hours to go, but I get to drift off to sleep with Prowler up by 6%. Win or lose, the local fan base has made me proud. Nice work, KC! My Official TPI hat is off to you (and to our friends in the DFW area!).
From AJ Hummel on January 18, 2012 at 9:37 PM
Looks like there is a Prowler rally going on! I guess this is somewhat of a best GCI contest, and I've heard Prowler is the best (haven't been on it, so I voted Thunderhead instead). I'm just surprised the Beast is doing so well, as I've heard it has been trimmed to death and grown rough in recent years. I haven't been on it, so I could be wrong, but everything I've read recently seems to say that it is losing its touch somewhat.
It's too bad Boulder Dash isn't featured on this site because that would probably defeat everything in this poll. Night rides on that are outstanding, even better than El Toro.
From 126.96.36.199 on January 18, 2012 at 9:36 PM
The Prowler is AWESOME!! I definitely think it is the best of the group, all though they are all wonderful coasters. I loved Worlds of Fun's previous wooden coaster, the Timberwolf, but am now so glad they put in the Prowler instead. I didn't think it could get better than the Timberwolf, but it got so old and rough after so many years. Good call Worlds of Fun!!
From Andrew Carrieri on January 18, 2012 at 10:33 PM
Wow! Prowler has pulled off the greatest turnaround since the 1969 New York Mets.
From 126.96.36.199 on January 18, 2012 at 11:08 PM
None of these rides are "traditional" wooden coasters. That designation belongs to rides such as Kennywood's Thunderbolt, Jack Rabbit, and Racer; Knoebel's Phoenix, Conneaut Lake Blue Streak, Coney Island Cyclone, Lakeside Cyclone, the remaining 1960's era John Allen rides etc
Of these modern rides in the list, the Prowler is my favorite.
From 126.96.36.199 on January 18, 2012 at 11:16 PM
This may be the hardest catagory I have had to make a choice in!!
From 126.96.36.199 on January 18, 2012 at 11:18 PM
The length and two lift hills are two big reasons that the beast still gets my vote!
From James Rao on January 19, 2012 at 4:04 AM
Well, good morning, Kansas City!!! Nice rally indeed, but there's still a few hours to go, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Stay frosty, Prowler fans, we're not out of the woods just yet...
From Mike Gallagher on January 19, 2012 at 5:18 AM
AJ, you're preaching to the choir. Boulder Dash is a fun ride in daylight, but is totally transformed at night.
And although El Toro is my favorite coaster, there's a handful I enjoy waaayyyy more at night.
From James Rao on January 19, 2012 at 7:15 AM
Alright already, close the vote. Prowler dominated. Score one for the little guys with the monstrous roller coaster!
From Todd Houts on January 19, 2012 at 7:23 AM
James - thanks for carrying the torch for Missouri yesterday. Work pulled me away from my desk and down to our capital until late yesterday. What a pleasant surprise to see one of two Great Coasters International woodies we have here in Missouri in the lead. (The other is American Thunder [formerly Evel Knievel] at Six Flags St. Louis, which is also an awesome little gem but would definitely come in second to Prowler.) Go Prowler!
From James Rao on January 19, 2012 at 7:28 AM
No problem, Todd, but the real thanks go to the Prowler fans who showed up to support their favorite local ride.
Also, you are right about American Thunder/EK - great ride. Very compact and aggressive.
On a side note, if the rumored 2013 addition to Silver Dollar City turns out to be a GCI woodie as well, Missouri could score a major trifecta!
From 184.108.40.206 on January 19, 2012 at 8:13 AM
Wow. The fourth-best coaster in this list wins?!
From James Rao on January 19, 2012 at 8:44 AM
It's official!!!!

High Rollers Gaming beat Mild during Upper Bracket Round 4 in ESEA-Main Playoffs
Last night, High Rollers Gaming duked it out with Mild in the ESEA-Main upper bracket playoff round 4. This was the first high profile match to take place since the new CS: Source update that changed some basic dynamics of the game. Fortunately the update did not render competitive play impossible and the match was played out without problems. It was an intense match with rounds going back and forth, but the match was ultimately decided by the pistol rounds. HRG took it home with 16 to 13.
Mild got sent to the lower bracket and is now waiting for the lower bracket round 5 to finish and determine their next opponent. Mild will face either OK2STRONG or Frag Machines in the Semi Final. Mild may have been beaten once by HRG, but if they win the Semi Final, they will have a chance to come back and get revenge on HRG in the final championship round.
OK2STRONG and Frag Machines are scheduled to play on Friday 23.
Who will win ESEA-Main Season 9 Playoffs?
- High Rollers Gaming (55%, 46 Votes)
- Frag Machines (19%, 16 Votes)
- OK2STRONG (13%, 11 Votes)
- Mild (13%, 10 Votes)
Total Voters: 83

Helipad About Needs of Wider Community
Monday, December 16, 2013 • 2:19pm
Content Options
Dear Editor,
As many readers are already aware, Overlook Medical Center recently filed an application with the New Jersey Department of Transportation, seeking approval to build a helipad designed to expedite patient access to its premier Neuroscience Department. The hospital filed its application with the Department of Transportation after its prior variance application was rejected by the Summit Board of Adjustment—whose review was the necessary first step in obtaining a helipad license. Within the community of Summit there has been some rumbling that this latest action is a case of the hospital looking to circumvent the "ruling" of the town. Overlook made tremendous efforts to ensure the concerns of community residents were addressed. Unfortunately, those efforts continue to be lost in the debate.
Overlook is willing to put restrictions on the volume of flights and other aspects of the use of the helipad. This position has been made clear to neighbors who are concerned about the impact on the community. Residents in opposition to the helipad remain unwilling to accept the occasional flight, even in the face of life threatening situations.
In reality, Overlook's request is not a Summit issue, but a regional transportation and medical one. While some residents may see the City of Summit Zoning Board's decision as the final word, I wonder if they have carefully considered the fact that Summit residents already enjoy timely and immediate emergency access to Overlook Medical Center's award winning Neuroscience Institute. At issue is the medical care of those who don't live just down the street.
As of mid-November, only 35 Summit residents came to Overlook's Emergency Department for stroke-related care this year (that's 6% of Overlook Medical Center's emergency stroke population), whereas 572 (94%) individuals came from outside of Summit. In addition to those stroke patients who come to the Emergency Department, an additional 237 patients were transferred to Overlook's neuro intensive care unit from other hospitals. Of those, 30 (that's three per month) were transported by air from hospitals more than 20 miles away. Those air transfers are required to land in neighboring towns, thereby adding critical time to life-saving treatment. The helipad is truly about the medical needs of the wider regional community-one that the NJ DOT is in a much better position to assess, given the lives at stake.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - A Charlotte County business owner busts three people he says were stealing from his store!
Monday, WINK News talked to that owner who says he stopped that burglary, and his surveillance cameras caught even more.
Even before you walk into A+ Action Appliance Store, the cameras are on.
Owner Skip Gircsis installed surveillance cameras inside and outside to protect his family owned business. A goal that was put to the test Sunday night. Gircsis was driving home from dinner when he noticed a car, a truck and a trailer parked here.
He says Keith and Tiffany Carmello and Joseph Vantre were loading up refrigerators, washers and dryers.
"I pulled right up behind them and said hey what are you doing?... 'we thought we could just take this stuff...' 'no that's not the right answer,'" he says.
Gircsis says the trio had unloaded the appliances by the time deputies got to the business.
"I pointed up at cameras and said see they're on surveillance," he adds.
But these cameras caught more than the owner's confrontation with the thieves. That wasn't their first but second trip to load up on appliances.
"I went out and I asked him, did he have anything else to tell me? He said, no. I said you think maybe you want to tell me something about the first load you took? He said, 'oh you didn't ask me about that,'" Gircsis adds.
The owner says, he's just glad that even though he his eyes were on his business Sunday, these eyes were also rolling.
"You have to catch them in the act... it's not he said she said anymore," he adds.
The owner says the three suspects apologized when he confronted them. Deputies say all the appliances they stole earlier in the evening were returned to the business.

Bay View Hunters Point Community Fund
685 Corbett Ave.
San Francisco, CA 94114
Sai Seigel
Primary Issue Area:
Youth development and organizing
Geographical Scope:
United States: local: San Francisco Bay Area
The Bayview Hunters Point Community Fund (BVHPCF) was established in 2001 to support youth serving agencies in the Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP) community in San Francisco. BVHPCF is a fund of the Tides Foundation and a project of the Tides Center. Its vision is that youth living in BVHP are actively engaged in youth development programs and activities within indigenous organizations that promote wellness and work together to create innovative solutions to community problems. The purpose of the BVHPCF is to support young people by strengthening the capacity of youth serving organizations to create sustained community wellness in BVHP neighborhoods. Sustained community wellness for youth means that: Young people have a say and voice in the programs, policies, and activities that directly affect them and their families. Youth are not just being served as clients but are engaged in decision-making, planning, and program delivery. Through meaningful involvement in their community and youth serving organizations, youth can develop into positive and resilient young adults who have the capacity to enrich and better their communities. Youth serving organizations have the capacity for long-term organizational sustainability and effectiveness. This capacity includes strong staff and board leadership. It encompasses effectiveness and accountability in all organizational aspects, including: human resources, financial management, organizational planning and development, and program delivery. Youth serving groups communicate and collaborate effectively. Youth serving groups work with each other and with public and private funders and other agencies to better meet the complex and interconnected issues faced by BVHP youth. Collaboration between organizations is organic and responsive to evolving community needs and challenges. BVHPCF provides general support grants and capacity building assistance to assist BVHP youth development organizations to build and strengthen overall organizational health and to enhance their ability to provide effective youth services and youth development opportunities. Individual and group capacity building activities are focused on three priority areas organizational leadership and collaboration capacity, youth development capacity, and overall organizational capacity.

Coleman Promises "A Different Show Next Year"
With the timelines converging on the planet Trenzalore, peoples of the Whoniverse have begun to look ahead to the Doctor's regeneration into newcomer Peter Capaldi.
Jenna Coleman, who plays the Doctor's companion Clara, believes the Twelfth Doctor will take the show in a brand new direction.
"He's going to be so different to Matt… It will be a different show next year. We have a bit of a gap before we start filming the new series, so I have time to get my head around it all. Me and Peter will get together before Christmas to start rehearsing and the scripts will start coming in."
Coleman also revealed she was somewhat surprised that Peter Capaldi's name hadn't been touted sooner, adding:
"It's funny as I don't think he was one of the names that was originally being speculated about. It wasn't until the week before [the announcement] that his name came up."
Soon, Peter Capaldi will have one of the most recognised faces on British television! See his official debut as the Twelfth Doctor on BBC 1, 7.30pm Christmas Day.
7 Responses to Coleman Promises "A Different Show Next Year"
Which is how it should be. When the Doctor changes, so should the show. That's how it survived 50 years. You can't just take an unused Matt Smith story and plonk it in front of Capaldi.
Or you end up with Time and the Rani…
…or Genesis of the Daleks. Which was concieved as a Pertwee story. Or Caves of Andozani, which Bob Holmes wrotes for Tom Baker because he didn't know Peter Davison.
It can work pretty well, you see.
For me the most successful regenerations are the ones with big "differences" between Doctors: Hartnell's slightly gruff grandfather to Troughton's imp or Pertwee's more authoritarian figure being followed by Tom. They're each identifiable as the Doctor, but in a very distinctive way.
Not sure that makes as much sense written down as it does in my head, but never mind! Basically, if Jenna's right, I will be happy!
Oh and on the point about Peter's name not being mentioned until about a week before the announcement – I'd say that was classic Moffat misdirection followed by a very judicious leak… if I was being cynical, of course!
I hope it's still about a guy who travels through time and space in a blue box!
I always look forward to change in the show, a new dr a new persona, all the dr's have been quite different over the last 50 years. From grumpy to funny to heroic and manic,i wonder what peter capaldi's take on it will be.He may well be rash and selfish and on borrowed time,we will have to wait and see.But what ever he become's im sure the tardis and the dr will be around for a long long time.

Chorus, Kiki Smith, 2012
on view until September 4th at 46th street and 8th Avenue in New York City at the Last Lot project space.
The rainbow-colored star clusters pay tribute to Josephine Baker, the American-born French burlesque dancer, singer and actress, who epitomized the sensuality and spectacle of the burlesque follies of the 1920's. The first African American female to star in a major motion picture, and the quintessential entertainer of that time, Baker is also known for her support of the Civil Rights Movement and for her family of adopted children from all over the world, whom she called "The Rainbow Tribe." Baker served as a muse to several influential artists based in Paris at the time such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Pablo Picasso. Smith, whose work often explores feminist themes through depictions of the female body and women from history and mythology, is drawn to the complexity of Baker's career as an erotic and primitivist performer/showgirl, and a social and political activist.
An 80-year-old resident of the Spanish town Borja decided to touch up a century-old fresco of Christ wearing a crown of thorns in Misericordia church. No one realized how badly disfigured the painting was until the woman rang town hall to say what she had done.

From the NY Daily News:
And Schwarzenegger's youngest child with estranged wife Maria Schriver was born the same week as the out-of-wedlock baby boy - giving him two sons in five days.
The hidden dramas that took place 13 years ago are now exploding into public view.
The Daily News learned Wednesday that 50-year-old housekeeper Mildred "Patty" Baena split from her husband, Rogelio de Jesus Baena, on Oct. 23, 1997. Their divorce was not finalized until 2008.
Court paper say they had no children.
According to a birth certificate obtained by TMZ.com, Baena's son was born Oct. 2, three weeks before the separation, which they blamed on "irreconcileable differences."
Schwarzenegger's second son with Shriver, Christopher, was born Sept. 27.
The secret apparently was kept until this month, when Schwarzenegger finally confessed to having a love child.

TEAMS: New York Yankees
Abraham Lincoln once famously said "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Do you think that applies to infields, too? The Yankees' Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez have become famous over the years first for their friendship and then for their falling out. Perhaps it has something to do with their political beliefs. In an interview with ESPN back in September, Jeter let it slip that he'd be voting for Barack Obama in Tuesday night's presidential election. Meanwhile, CNSNews.com reported that Rodriguez had donated money to the Mitt Romney campaign a few weeks ago. Just a little context for next time a ball bounces in between third and short. No word on the basis for either of their positions, as Jeter is notoriously a man of few words in interviews, while Rodriguez is similarly notorious for trying (and failing) to keep his private business to himself. Nonetheless, if you're interested in how other athletes are voting, Deadspin has a handy list.

|Outsourcing costs jobs?
Myth#1 - Offshoring costs jobs
Since the recession raised its horns people took to thinking that outsourcing was turning people up at dole queues. They said, 'Outsourcing creates fear as jobs go overseas; it causes unemployment". Yes, the numbers are startling, but the effect of removing redundant jobs creates room for growth. Let me explain this: I have observed, over a long-run, the business growth from outsourcing provides an impetus for more jobs i.e. cost savings from outsourcing have a torpedo effect – the money saved can be used to create new business opportunities which in turn create more jobs.
Contrary to popular belief outsourcing actually creates jobs. An independent research says that more than a million jobs are lost to outsourcing each decade. The same research also says that in the last 5 years the government has been able to create 10 million jobs. Without denying the unemployment case, I would like to say outsourcing only removes the job which has become uneconomic to carry out.
Myth#2 – Offshoring is not good for the local economy
Myth #2 finds its roots in Myth #1. It is as misunderstood as it is interesting. Sometime back the McKinsey Global Institute undertook a study and concluded that for every pound that is spent on a process outsourced to India, a pound and a half is saved. It went as far as to say that outsourcing even returns to the Economy as earnings.
Far from being a losing game, outsourcing creates a mutual economic benefit. Take this for example – many offshoring firms which specialize in UK outsourcing are owned in whole or in part by British businesspeople, like QX Limited is, and repatriate a part of the profit back to the UK economy.
Myth#3 – Cultural Disparity
This myth has a lot of credence to it. However, it is not a coincidence that over 30% of the 1000 Fortune companies outsourcing chose India as their destination. Due to a superior education system, Indians tend to have excellent English language skills.
I have seen first-hand that westerners tend to be more autonomous, are keen on using a narrow-angle lens to view things in isolation while aiming to achieve short-term objectives quickly, whereas, people in India have a holistic approach and using a wide-angle lens work collectively to achieve long-term objectives. The Indian approach is cleverly fitted for analytic and commodity tasks such as payroll and accounts. I won't take away anything from the Western approach as I find it very competitive and think, if used justly, can be employed to grow a business. When these separating factors come together they help bridge the gap between growth and stagnancy. These cultural differences in many cases work to everyone's advantage.
Outsourcing the supporting functions that are not part of the core competencies of your business is the road to travel. If you resist change right now you will have to grin and bear the consequences later. "If companies don't move work offshore, they will become less competitive. This cripples the economy and threatens the loss of more jobs than Offshoring does", concludes a prominent economist in her column on The Independent. Sounds like the winners will be the ones who can take the right street at this critical juncture.

Moms, do you know what your daughters are watching?
Dr. Wendy Walsh: Lately, I've noticed my almost-12-year-old daughter closing the door to my bedroom while she watches TV. And the last couple times I intruded, I saw that she was watching an ABC Family show called "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." The show's website warns that viewer discretion is advised. I assume that's because the plot deals with teen pregnancy, premature motherhood, and every kind of relationship dilemma ever -- including sex. Yikes!
No doubt about it. Our media is getting more risqué every year. And that media is becoming more and more accessible to our kids and teens. In a UCLA study on adolescent sexuality and the media, the exposure rates are shocking. On average, adolescent viewers see 143 incidents of sexual behavior on network television at prime time each week, with far more portrayals of sexual activity between unmarried couples as between spouses. As much as 80 percent of all movies shown on network or cable television stations have sexual content, and even music videos are filled with sexual feelings and impulses. Most disturbing is the fact that the sexual messages on television tend to be shown in a positive light, with little discussion of the risks of unprotected sexual intercourse and few portrayals of dangerous consequences.
But the consequences of sexual activity in the real world are very real. Among adolescent girls in the United States between 15 and 17 years of age, 75 per 1,000 become pregnant each year, a rate two to seven times higher than rates in other industrialized nations. And 25 percent of sexually active teenagers and 13 percent of all adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19 become infected with sexually transmitted diseases each year. That's 3 million cases!
But the million-dollar question is this: Is there a link between media exposure to sexual content and adolescent sexual behavior? That's still up for debate. Some sociologists believe that greater exposure to media in general leads kids to adopt the values, beliefs, and behaviors that are portrayed, particularly when they aren't accompanied by scenes with negative consequences. And research on violence in the media backs this up. More violent media leads to more aggression in children.
But sex is different. Sexuality may not be learned through observation the way aggression is. For instance, it's been found that general exposure to alcohol advertising does not affect a teen's alcohol use. Yet, if the teens really like the content in the ad -- like the music or humor -- then it is linked to an increase of alcohol use.
And sexual content? Researchers are still trying to determine what factors in sexual media create premature or unsafe sexual behavior. For now, I plan on sitting through that ABC show with my kid, to explain any negative consequences that the producers fail to highlight.

Good on you for monitoring what your beautiful Girls are watching.
I know my step-daughter, Bridget was allowed to watch whatever she wanted as a pre-teen/teenager (to my horror) - and she LOVED all the 'racey' stuff and I firmly believe that that resulted in her becoming sexually active VERY early (ie: 13).
On the other hand - I volunteered (for over 2 years) at Jessie's - a Shelter for Teen Moms, and from where I sat, these girls KNOWINGLY got pregnant cuz they wanted someone to love and someone to love them back (and sadly thought the Guy would stick around - which 98% of the guys were no where to be found.
These poor young women with their lives changed forever - alone.
Teenagers have always had sex. There are these little things in our bodies called hormones that make us horny. It's just a fact. The issue is not whether teens have sex (as they have always done) but whether they are being smart about it. Do they know the possible consequences? Are they taking precautions? Are they being emotionally and psychologically sound in their decisions? That is more what we need to ask. And having media portray realistic sexual relationships would be an excellent step, not these romanticized versions of love lives.
Perhaps we should take a moment and think about what would happen if sex were not a hidden, sordid activity. We have sex to procreate. That's a fact. None of us would be here without it, it's a natural part of life. The fact that other countries such as France, for example, put no age-based viewer discretion warnings on TV shows that (God forbid!) portray sex in a positive light, but that the United States does, should perhaps tell us something about how we view sex in our culture and how subliminating it only makes us more obsessed with it. Other people in other places accept it as a part of life. For that matter, French adolescents are more comfortable with their bodies and are less likely to have eating disorders than American adolescents, because French children see more images of healthy bodies (naked or not) than American children do. Awareness of the existence of sex is not bad for your twelve-year-old daughter. She should know about it - if she doesn't, then you're in far worse trouble than if she does. Actually having sex at her age is a different matter and is, of course, something you should protect her from doing. I also won't try to protect American TV shows per se and the quality (or lack thereof) of their portrayal of sex, but the fact remains: sex is a part of life and your daughter should know it exists, and I think it is far healthier to watch something a little racy than to watch something traumatically violent, which also dominates American television.
Rose, you posted my thoughts exactly. Is it a coincidence that they show way more sex on TV in Europe, with much lower teen pregnancy rates? Once again "Dr" Walsh is selling us her ridiculous "OMG protect our daughters" sex-panic, with no sign that she actually put any thought into it.
I am so excited to see your article. When ever I post articles which complain about all the sex and violence in tv and the media, nobody reads it… other articles get a LOT of traffic.
My question, do you think all the sex and violence has anything to do with all the 700,000 plus sex offenders we now have on the national sex offender registry?
And you may want to add that not only have teens been having sex for centuries, but NOW they are being arrested and branded sex offenders for doing what comes natural.
I'm glad you caught your daughter watching the show. I'm 17 and I watched it, it's definitely not appropriate for a girl under 14 I think. However, if your child is going to be watching 'racy' television, it should be shows like this. The kids are constantly talking to their parents about their problems, it encourages safe sex (if you're going to have it at all) and at the end of every episode a cast member talks about how pregnancy or stds are always a risk when you engage in that kind of behavior and encourages protection and for you to talk to a trusted adult. It doesn't make Amy (the teen mother)'s life look glamorous in any way, and while it's rather unrealistic, it still (I think) would discourage premature sex.

For the first time in nearly a quarter-century, the Boston Pops won't be performing on the Fourth of July. Credit for that goes to Hurricane Arthur, whose impending arrival turned the traditional July 3 dry run into the concert proper. But even with a program being adjusted on the fly right up until the end, Thursday night's performance at the Hatch Shell was just as festive as if it had happened on the correct date.
With Boston Idol winner Jilly Martin serving as a Kacey Musgraves-flavored appetizer, the concert began in earnest with John Williams's hopeful "Liberty Fanfare" (written, appropriately enough, for the rededication of the Statue Of Liberty on the last Pops-less Fourth). Governor Deval Patrick narrated the origins of the "The Star-Spangled Banner" (and the specific flag that inspired it) as the music underscoring him used the song as a base while twisting off into subtle variations.

Corn Fritters with Sweet Tangy Chili Soy Sauce
Posted by Cara McShane on 08/27 at 03:03 PM
I rarely find the time to sit down and watch TV, but when I do, you better believe it is almost always going to be food-related.
I recently caught a re-run episode of The Best Thing I Ever Ate on Food Network. This particular episode was about crunchy food and featured the Indonesian Corn Fritters served with a sweet tangy chili soy sauce from E&O Trading Co. (now known as E&O Asian Kitchen) in San Francisco. They looked and sounded pretty heavenly. Since I don't have any plans to visit San Francisco in the near future, my next step was to re-create the dish in my own kitchen.
Now it's your turn. Crunch away!
Corn Fritters
4 cups fresh cut corn kernels
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
2 eggs
Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Salt, to taste
In a bowl, combine corn, celery, green onion, garlic, flour, and pepper. Mix well. Lightly beat eggs and combine with vegetable mixture. Heat 1/4" of oil in a pan. Drop spoonfuls of mixture into pan. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip to cook the other side. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack with paper towels below to catch excess oil. Season with salt and drizzle with Chili Soy Sauce (recipe below).
Chili Soy Sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. ground fresh chili paste
1 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
Place all ingredients in a pan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally until reduced. Remove from heat.

Months ago I was deciding whether or not to review my medical records. Well, guess what... [:(] Sometimes I think I should just leave this stuff alone and what I don't know, won't hurt me. In my medical records it states that I had an abnormal placenta. Does anyone else know what this could mean? I have a friend who put Hunter's pathology report into layman terms for me. There was so much wrong that I never knew at that time. So much went wrong... It was like he didn't have a chance [V] It just wasn't the cord accident, there were about 4 things that could've contributed to his death. So, 6 years later...I'm reliving all of this pain.
I guess what I'm asking here is - how many of us had "abnormal placentas?" Does the PE cause this?

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Election officials say they expect a little over one-third of Wisconsin voters to take part in next week's presidential primary election. That would have about one and a half million people casting ballots and it's about the same turnout seen in the 2008 primary. The state's top elections official, Kevin Kennedy, says this year's contested race between four high-profile Republicans should create that kind of traffic at the polls. Four years ago the Democrat campaign between Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton boosted the number of voters participating.

The uncharted games are brilliant, I had them both when I owed a PS3, whatever price they go for, someone is buying a great game. Wish they would release a third one on Xbox 360.
I've just finished Gears of War 3 and I defo recommend it to anyone. Great gameplay and the story is excellent. Thinking of maybe trading it in as can't be arsed with co-ops or online on it. I'm thinking FIFA 12? Anyone got any recommendations?

As promised here are the 7 new bento boxes and 3 new models of Japanese chopsticks. Note that these three new pairs of chopsticks respectively named Yume Usagi, Sakura Red and Kuro Mokume are each assorted to a bento of the same name.
Something tells me that the Red Sakura bento+chopstick set will have some success…
The new bentos are quite different from the previous ones since they are in plastic and are ideal for daily use. Of course all these new products are manufactured in Japan.
So basically we are testing this type of products on our shop and if we see that they get popular we will probably add some more.
Also we still plan to add new categories to the shop, however this will not happen until next year since December is pretty busy. In this connection if you have ideas for new products to add please let us know. Note that we are only interested by quality products made in Japan.
About Christmas it's the home stretch now and if you want to be sure to receive your package in time the shipping by EMS is highly recommended as this is a very busy time for carriers.

I admire David Ison, who was appointed Dean of St Paul's Cathedral earlier this week, for speaking up for same-sex marriage in his first national media interview after being appointed. I'm sorry that he ruined it within days by defending the forced eviction of Occupy London Stock Exchange in language that manages to be both evasive and insulting.
He has yet to take up his post at St Paul's and was not, of course, appointed when the Cathedral colluded in the violent removal of people who were peacefully sitting or praying on the cathedral steps. At least he has had the courage to express an opinion on the issue. The current authorities at St Paul's have failed to do despite nearly two weeks in which large numbers of people have urged them to make a clear statement on the issue.
Asked about the eviction by the Church Times, Ison said, "It's difficult what you do when people refuse to acknowledge reality and to obey court orders. But, if people choose to make a demonstration by not obeying the order of the court, that's up to them. The Church's role is to help people recognise reality in all sorts of ways, and that includes helping Occupy recognise when it's time to move on."
The new Dean is running the risk of appearing deliberately evasive. He must surely be aware of the reality that the cathedral steps were not covered by the court order, which authorised an eviction of land belonging to the City of London Corporation, not to St Paul's Cathedral.
I also find it rather arrogant to be told that views that do not fit with David Ison's are not "reality". In theological terms, sin and selfishness can be seen as resulting from our alienation from the reality that is found in God. We are all more detached from that reality than we should be. In contrast, David Ison appears to be equating "reality" with the perceptions and priorities of those who hold power in the world. This may not be his intention, but that is how it comes across.
I hope the new Dean will also challenge the City of London and its institutions to recognise the reality of an economic crash built on fantasies of endless money. There is no reality in the false gods of money and markets, which are merely human constructions.
