North St. Paul is in the process of hiring a new city manager after long-time city manager Wally Wysopal resigned to take the city manager position in Fridley last month. Director of community development Nate Ehalt was appointed as the interim city manager after Wysopal's departure June 8.
Five candidates were interviewed on June 29 and 30 in special city council work sessions that also functioned as informal "meet-and-greets" with department heads
Jeffery Trevino
On Monday, July 1, Ramsey County District Judge Leonardo Castro moved the murder trial of Jeffery Trevino, 39, to Sept. 16.
The trial was originally scheduled to begin July 22.
At an omnibus probable cause hearing in March, Trevino pleaded not guilty to killing his wife, Kira Steger, 30, in February. Steger reportedly had been planning on ending the marriage, and according to friends, Trevino was increasingly "suspicious" of what Steger was doing when they were apart. Her body was found in the Mississippi River May 8.
The District 622 Education Foundation is seeking participants to register for its annual Fun Run, which will be held July 27.
"It pays to register early," stated Fun Run chairman and event organizer Doug Ronsberg. He emphasized that early registration for the event will cost $20 per person - $15 for kids younger than 16 - if your registration is postmarked before July 13. There are also special rates for a family, up to four members, of $50 if the entry form is postmarked before July 13, or $65 is postmarked after that date.
The White Bear Avenue Parade is definitely a must-go event, with the most floats, bands and marching units for miles around.
Before the surrounding area developed into the suburb of Maplewood, the Ramsey County Fair was in the middle of farm country, as seen in this 1953 aerial view.
Rides are the perennial favorite at the Ramsey County Fair, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
Today's fair lets youngsters see farm animals up close, some for the first time.
The Ramsey County Fair Amateur Talent Contest is open to anyone who is a resident of Ramsey County and is an amateur entertainer. The 2013 talent contest will be Sunday, July 14, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the fairgrounds. There are no auditions necessary for performers to take the stage.
Participants must register on or before Saturday, July 13, at 1 p.m. Entry categories are determined by age groups as follows: age 12 and under, age 13-18 and open class for everyone else. Prizes awarded in each category are $65 for first place, $45 for second place and $25 for third place.
Construction on the Keller Lake Bridge over Highway 36 in Maplewood began Monday, June 17. The renovated bridge will have new guardrails, upgraded storm water ponds and easier pedestrian access.
Do you have a special pickle recipe? Are your quilts works of art meant to hang on a wall rather than cover a bed? Do your kids know a thing or two about rockets? Are you nervous about exhibiting at the Minnesota State Fair and want to have a test run first? Consider exhibiting at the Ramsey County Fair! Exhibiting at the fair is easy, and prizes are awarded for a chance at friendly competition among neighbors.

Officials gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of Reflex Medical in North St. Paul May 31. Reflex Medical Molding is a developer and manufacturer of medical devices made out of a variety of plastic materials.
A Maplewood man was sentenced in U.S. District Court on May 28 to 15 years in prison for unlawful possession of a firearm. Derek Lee Preston, a 35-year-old career criminal and convicted felon, pleaded guilty to the charges Feb. 3
A 30-year-old Oakdale man has been charged in connection with two burglaries in Woodbury after a GPS monitoring device tracked the movements of a vehicle he was allegedly driving.
Overnight motorists in both directions on Highway 36 between Interstate 694 and one mile east of Demontreville Trail in Lake Elmo can expect delays until mid-June as the Minnesota Department of Transportation continues to work on shoulder removal and begins construction of a "J-turn" lane.

A Great Weekend Ahead!
By Sam Kantrow on March 9, 2013, 8:39am Last modified: March 10, 2013, 9:38am

A nice little ridging of high pressure is making it's way into the area, and will give us a great weekend with lots of sun. Above average high temps are expected, but we'll see great radiational cooling that will cause lower than average temps at night. Monday will be a dry day, but high cloudiness will build in during the day.
Night-time temps won't drop off too much, and rain moves in for Tuesday. There will be a low passing to the north, and with warm air advection, we'll see temps well into the 50s on Tuesday. No concerns about this being a snow event at this time!
After that, temps cool down, and we see a few clouds for the rest of the week.

Witch Cauldron Candy Holder
Hold trick-or-treat candy in a witch's cauldron that's waist high and has funky striped legs.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Materials and Tools:
large wicker witch cauldron (available at craft and party stores)
two 1-1/4" dowels (36" in length)
quilt batting
black shoes or boots
1 yard striped fabric
2" hole saw
screws (regular and drywall)
black fabric
green craft foam
utility knife
large buckles
hot glue gun
1. Cut the plywood into a round shape for the base and paint it green. Let dry.
2. Set the shoes or boots in position and mark the location of each heel on the base. Set the shoes aside and drill two pilot holes through the plywood so they'll be in the center of the shoe heels. Drill holes in the bottom of the shoes so that a wooden dowel passes through.
3. Cut the striped fabric in half lengthwise. Fold each piece over with right sides together to create long bands and pin them in place. Stitch along the pinned side to create long tubes. Turn them right side out.
4. Lay a rectangular piece of quilt batting flat and place a dowel along one long edge. Put two large clumps of fiberfill to create the contours of the leg where the thigh and calf muscles would be. Roll it all up to form the leg and stuff it into the stocking, adding a ball of fiberfill for the kneecap. Slip a dowel through each shoe and screw it to the base from underneath through the pre-drilled holes.
5. Use a hole saw to cut two discs of plywood and screw them to the top of the dowels after drilling pilot holes. Place the cauldron on the discs and use drywall screws to attach it to them from the inside of the cauldron.
6. Cover the cauldron with black material to make a skirt for the witch (cut the edges to create fringe). Glue buckles to the front of the shoes.

(WSCR) The first real injury of the season hit the White Sox camp this week.
Reports indicate outfield prospect Brandon Short was ruled out for the 2012 season after test results revealed a dislocated left shoulder and a torn labrum.
The 23-year-old suffered the injury Thursday while crashing into the center field wall while unsuccessfully trying to catch a deep drive.
Short was ranked as the Sox's 18th top prospect by Baseball America's 2012 Prospect Handbook.

Despite our amazing breakthroughs in science, going back in time continues to remain an impossibility. For porn fans yearning for the genuine article, the true Golden Age of Porn, XXX Rewind is a mind-blowing stop for retro lovers. If you get a sense of déjà vu while viewing the content it might be because you've already seen it on a site called Classics Of Porn.
Linda Lovelace, Debbie Diamond and Ginger Lynn are just some of the marquee names appearing in these nonexclusive videos. In fact, members can search for scenes through the pornstar index as well as by series, studio, keyword and latest release.
The cheesy music, mustaches and eloquent dialogue that made porn from the last three decades of the 20th century the magical entity it is is captured in large volume on this site. You can relive the glory days of the industry by sitting down and watching the 889 videos currently being offered.
You can stream the movies in an embedded player and save them in four MP4 formats, the best of which gives you good-quality playback and there's also a file for mobile devices. I should note that when dealing with classic films the bit rate often means very little. Many of these flicks were transferred over from film, so you'll occasionally see pops or lines in the film grain. It adds to the retro feel, of course, but don't expect the footage to be crystal-clear like it is with today's porn.
There are also 118 sets of photos to check out. The pics look good and they do a great job of showcasing the babes who made porn so enjoyable back in the day. Some of the women are even featured in high-res pics. You can view the images in slideshows and download them in Zip files.
The website gives you the impression that it's updating, but we're pretty sure that it's simply rotating its content these days. That's unfortunate, but there's already a lot to see and that's without taking the extras into consideration. You can check out tons of additional vids and pics and you can also enjoy everything that the Mega Site Pass network offers.
All told, you're getting quite a bit of content for a low price, so XXX Rewind is worth joining if vintage smut is what you're after. That said, there's no need to get yourself a membership if you're a member of Classics Of Porn, because you'll just end up paying more to access content that you can already check out.

TUESDAY, Oct. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Hurricane Katrina's
devastating effects six years ago appear to have extended beyond
the Gulf Coast, with miscarriages and premature births among
fertility patients rising markedly across the United States in the
months after the disaster.
Researchers tracked outcomes for nearly 105,000 single-baby
pregnancies among women who had undergone assisted reproductive
technology (typically in vitro fertilization) across the country
before and after the storm hit in August 2005.
The team found that pregnancies begun in the 18 months before
the calamity were 87 percent less likely to end in a
first-trimester miscarriage, compared to ART-assisted pregnancies
initiated after the storm.
Pregnancies that began in the months and weeks before Katrina
were also significantly less likely to result in extreme
prematurity -- babies born before 26 weeks of gestation -- than
conceptions occurring after the event.
After adjusting for other contributors to poor pregnancy
outcomes, including patient age, infertility diagnosis and sperm
source, the researchers also found that fertility patients across
the United States were 63 percent less likely to suffer a
miscarriage within the first four months of a pregnancy if their
pregnancies had begun before Hurricane Katrina rather than
Stress may be the key here, experts said.
"We in the infertility field have always been concerned about the effects of stress or grief on reproductive success," said Dr. Mary Wood-Molo, medical director of the Center of Advanced Reproductive Care at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, who was not involved in the study. "On some level I'm not surprised by this . . . with media exposure that continued to focus on the crisis and aftermath, it became more of a national crisis than a local crisis."
The findings, from data compiled by the Society for Assisted
Reproductive Technology, are scheduled to be presented Oct. 19 at
the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive
Medicine in Orlando, Fla. Studies presented at scientific meetings
are preliminary and have not undergone peer review.
Study authors were surprised that the pregnancy loss rate among
those analyzed was the same across the country, not just in the
areas affected by the storm.
Adding to the puzzle was the fact that the pregnancy failure
rate remained the same pre- and post-Katrina in those counties
directly affected by the hurricane.
Study lead author Sangita Jindal said that finding likely stems
from other factors. "In the Gulf area, there was already an
elevated preterm delivery rate and Katrina didn't affect that,"
noted Jindal, an assistant professor of obstetrics/gynecology and
women's health at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein
College of Medicine in Hartsdale, N.Y. "I'm not sure what causes
that compared to the rest of the country, but perhaps there are
population disparities."
Wood-Molo and Jindal agreed that infertility patients endure so
much stress trying to become pregnant and carry babies to term that
the additional stressor of a natural disaster can make them more
susceptible to poor outcomes.
"These women may or may not have underlying metabolic or physical issues related to their infertility," Jindal said, "so as a population they may be more sensitive . . . and may not be as robust. So when they get pregnant, it's a little more tenuous."

Five Things Killing Christianity: Is the End of Christianity At Hand?
|October 13, 2009
|Posted by Anthony under apologetics, Blog, Christianity and Culture, End Times, General, spirituality, theism, theology
The number one thing killing Christianity in America today:
All the rest of the things on the list tie back to this. The Christian Church exhibits constant lovelessness in much of what it does. Many readers will jump to the idea that Christians are very loving, and to an extent, I agree. Many readers will find the assertion nauseous because they think of 'love' as some wishy washy sentiment. Both sets of readers misunderstand me. One of my contentions is that Love itself is misunderstood, because unlike other doctrines, this one has not been systematically explored from the Scriptures. We all act as though we intuitively know what 'love' is. In fact, we have culturally driven notions that are derived from hundreds of years of romanticism. The Bible- the New Testament in particular- portrays a love that is much different. It is earth shattering, and embodied in the activities of the early Christian Church.
None of this should be construed (though it will be, to my chagrin) as a repudiation of all the things we currently do to 'show' we love God. It isn't. If we were doing those things AND loving our fellow Christians… to the death… there would be no problem.
But, I contend, we aren't doing that. God tells us that if we love him, we'll love the brothers. We have it stuck in our head that if we love him, we'll love him.
But that's not what he said, and that is why outsiders, ultimately, do not find Christianity credible. Indeed, it is why Christians themselves are dubious, and in fact, sometimes falling away altogether.

|Posted by Anthony under apologetics, Blog, Christianity and Culture
A while back I began a church bulletin insert series. I have noted continued demand for these inserts so there is currently a plan to develop a whole series, in particular a 160 insert series reflecting the three year liturgical calendar, for churches to use.
Because of this demand and in order to better satisfy it, the bulletin inserts currently hosted on sntjohnny.com are being migrated to a church bulletin insert site specifically for it: www.churchbulletininserts.com.
Better organization is on the 'to do' list along with, naturally, adding more content.
Second Column Published on WND.com on Malthus

Today Worldnetdaily.com published a second column of mine. Title: Christians Beware the Malthusian Mind!
Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
Thomas Robert Malthus would have disagreed. The philosophical forerunner to Darwin, Malthus argued that there are limited resources, and competition for them is intense. When there are too many people competing for those resources, you have war, famine and a continual threat to civilization itself.
For Malthus, the pie is only so big: We must reduce the number of people who want a share of it.
Christianity embodies another solution: Make a bigger pie.
In Christianity, God takes a few loaves and feeds thousands with them. Entrance to heaven is not contingent on space available. Jesus came that we would have life, and life to the fullest. Not just for some, but all.
None of what follows is an argument for Christian indifference to the plight of other people. However, Christians should not advocate "solutions" that repress human liberty, dignity and freedom. For some reason, all of the Malthusian's solutions do just that.
Read the whole column on Malthus and Malthusians.

Peter Bjorn and John have already played New York several times this year in support of Gimme Some, the crafty, back-to-basics garage-rock disc they released in March. Nonetheless, the Swedish trio roll back into town this week on what they're calling the All You Can Eat Tour, for which they've teamed with eater.com to give away meals from food trucks in the cities they're playing.

Women are told to lean in, but having the time to lean back might be the true test of equality and success.
It's well documented that women still aren't earning as much as men—less than three quarters of the salary for the same work in many industries—but the gender wage gap isn't the only issue. There's another disparity quietly gaining traction: The gender leisure gap.
Some blame Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean-in" phenomenon, in which women have been urged to do more, take on more, lean in to more and more opportunities in order to advance. Lean-in critics like Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks say it's a mentality that breeds burnout.
"When a workplace is full of employees who always lean in and never lean back, it's full of employees who are exhausted, brittle, and incapable of showing much creativity or making good decisions," she writes in Foreign Policy. "There is, after all, much to be said for leaning out—for long lunches, afternoon naps, good books, and some nice, slow hours in the La-Z-Boy."

Madhuri Dixit makes tiring action look effortless: Trainer
Kanishka Sharma, who trained Madhuri Dixit for action sequences in forthcoming movie "Gulaab Gang", is in awe of the actress and says that she made all the tiring action sequences look effortless on screen.
"I remember a scene where Madhuri had to twist a man's arm and kick him hard. I rehearsed with her for a few hours before the shot, but was a little apprehensive. Later, I was shocked at how comfortably she pulled it off. She makes all my otherwise tiring action look effortless on screen!" Sharma said in a statement.
The 46-year-old diva got trained in rare martial art forms like Shaolin Kung Fu, Pekiti-Tirsia Kali and Shaolin Chin Na for the movie.
"The brief given to me by director Soumik Sen was to design the stunts in a manner that they look both aesthetic as well as realistic. It couldn't be as gritty as crouching tiger, hidden dragon, neither could it be as suave as the matrix," said Sharma.
"I was taken aback by Madhuri's agility and her pitch-perfect timing. I extensively trained Madhuri for a month in Shaolin Kung Fu, besides stick training, Shaolin joint locking, Kali knife, short stick and of course, close combat," he added.
Slated to release March 7, "Gulaab Gang" also features Juhi Chawla.

Federal Appeals Court Allows ACLU Challenge to Warrantless Wiretapping Law to Proceed | American Civil Liberties Union »
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit today denied the government's request that all of the court's judges rehear a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union challenging the FISA Amendments Act (FAA), a law that gives the executive branch virtually unchecked power to collect Americans' international emails and telephone calls. In March, a three-judge panel of the court unanimously ruled the plaintiffs have the right to challenge the constitutionality of the law.

So, I was reading up on the G-spot today, my favorite topic, when I came across this new procedure in where a doctor takes a 3 1/2 inch needle filled with collagen (what else?) and sticks it into the G-spot, also known as the Gräfenberg Spot, making it swell to the size of a quarter.
Let's back this crazy train up. What is the G-spot? The G-spot has been an elusive subject of controversy since her discovery in 1950 by German gynecologist Ernest Gräfenberg. Many sextologists since believe that there is a small area behind the pubic bone that is accessed through the anterior wall of the vagina. It is considered by most now to be a powerful erogenous zone. When stimulated, it leads to increased sexual arousal and very intense orgasms. Others may dispute this, but ask any woman who has found her G-spot and she will tell you of it's magical powers!
To find the G-spot, take your index finger and curl it towards you as if you are telling someone to come closer. Now, make that motion when you insert the finger into the vagina. Feel that spongy tissue towards the top of your pubic bone? Ta-da! There she is! Lovers, feel free to help out, as it can be easier having someone else help explore! (And more fun, too!)
But, once again, science wants to take this beautiful little sponge-of-happy and turn it into something to be exploited. This shot is just another reminder to everyone out there living in the post-Viagra, post-porn world that sex should be crazy, every time amazing, mind-blowing and out of control good. Since we are mere mortals and can't experience that naturally (or can we?) there is a new shot out there to get us there. Or, at least we are told. Don't worry, it's not that the pharmaceutical and medical industries are trying to make billions of dollars off our "sexual dysfunction"; it's just that they really care.
The G-Shot was invented and trademarked in 2005 by Dr. David Matlock. Dr. Matlock is based in LA (where else?) and is a gynecologist and a plastic surgeon. What a perfect combination! He was only performing his G-Shot injections from his office on Sunset Boulevard until April of 2007, when he started packaging and shipping his kits to 35 associates around the country. The package includes a 30-minute instructional video, the FDA-approved collagen dosages and brochures contain this "revolutionary scientific breakthrough" information. It costs $1850 and is supposed to help women bring out their inner tigress.
Karen Roberts, a 22 year old student with a four-year old daughter, sat in a colleague of Dr. Matlock's. His name is Dr. Justin Salerno, from Pennsylvania, but now works i the Bay Area. She was to be his first patient. She feels fatigued at the end of the day, hardly a mood for making love. Even when feeling amorous, achieving orgasm was proving to be too time-consuming, too much energy, and too difficult for her and her husband to deal with.
Let me just interject here. Um, Karen? You are 22. You haven't even begun to enjoy the beauty that is your body and your sexuality. It sounds like you had a baby too young, and now you have hit a wall. Instead of injecting things into your vagina, why don't you and your husband take that two grand and go away for a romantic weekend, sans baby? But, I digress...
She states: "If you have more orgasms, you'll want more sex. And if you're 22 and your sex drive is going down, then you better do something to bring it back up."
Now, I am not trying to discredit Matlock's invention. For example, Sand Gart, 56, a Southern California nurse, was one of his first G-Shot recipients. She got the shot to reinvigorate and reenergize her sex drive. She liked it so much, she has had 3 more injections. The collagen needs replaced every 4 months, as it is reabsorbed into the body. Matlock states that 60% of his patients return at least once more.
"Each procedure I've developed was based on the requests from women. I didn't tell them what I wanted to do. I listened to what they wanted," says Matlock.
So, how does the procedure really work? Roberts would have to assist her doctor. Since the G-Spot is sensitive, she would have to locate it, herself, and give Salerno instructions as to its secret location. Like a treasure map! Here's the catch. According to Dr. Beverly Whipple, a sexuality scholar at Rutgers University and arguably the world's most well-known G-spot expert, she believes that small area can't be accessed unless the woman is in a state of arousal. When a woman gets excited, the tissue palpitates, like a heart beat, making it reachable.
Dr. Matlock disagrees, and explains that women merely need to be "in tune" with the area to direct the doctor.
Salerno numbed the area with a rub-on agent, then injected the collagen.
"By the time I could say 'ouch' it was done. It wasn't even worth the ouch," stated Roberts.
The question we are all wondering, though, is did it work? Three days after her appointment with Salerno, Roberts was happy to report that sex was great! She was able to climax within a few minutes, and without much exertion.
"Just like a man," she gushed.
That last statement really frightened me. What worries me is that instead of embracing female sexuality, instead of enjoying sex like a woman, we are now trying to emulate sex like a man. Men can come so quickly, so easily, it seems to so many women, why can't we? That mentality of sex, viewing it as a pissing contest of who can come harder, faster, longer, is only going to hurt and disrupt the beauty and nature of making love.
We have to stop thinking of sex like a porn movie. The cum shot is everything. The big build up and then the explosion! It's easy to capture that very physical act of a man on film, but a woman's orgasm is usually internal, intense, pulsating, private. It builds like a crescendo, increasingly more vibrant and colorful until the pinnacle moment where the music swells and envelopes, carrying her away to another place entirely. By trying to squelch that and 'cum like a man' we are removing everything that is so special and beautiful about the feminine in love making. I don't think we can be packaged this way. Sex shouldn't work this way. So clinical, so sterile, so without feeling or expression.
I am not trying to suggest that Matlock's procedure isn't important. I think it is very important. It shows how far we have come from where we used to be as a species. Can you imagine if we stripped it all away? No injections, no plastic surgery, no high-production value porn, no images of unattainable beauty. Just us. Just men, women, and the energy of the universe.
Can you imagine if we didn't know we had cellulite, or love handles, or freckles or big noses? Can you imagine if we didn't realize that our breasts should be big, but our waists should be small? Men, imagine if no one ever questioned the size or shape of your penis, if it really was what you could do with it, instead of how it looked? If going bald or going grey was a sign of enlightenment, not old age? If we all took time to step back from this unrealistic, celluloid world we have created for ourselves and started to think of our unique characteristics and idiosyncrasies as special, imagine what we could create. Imagine the symphony that would play then.

Has there ever been a price-fixing case in which the alleged conspirators agreed to take less money for their product and simultaneously up their production and boost competition? The answer to that question may determine the success of the Justice Department's e-books antitrust suit against Apple and the two publishers that have not agreed to settle DOJ's civil charges.
On Friday, Apple and three publishers filed reply briefs in their effort to win dismissal of the private antitrust class action that parallels the Antitrust Division's case. Those filings, coming two days after the government brought suit, offer good hints at how defense lawyers for Apple and the publishers will counter the Justice Department's allegations. (Interestingly, Hachette and Harper Collins — the two publishers that have reached a tentative $52 million settlement with 16 state Attorneys General — did not sign the joint publishers' motion, which suggests that they may argue their AG deal resolves the class action plaintiffs' damages claims.)
The essence of the government's case (as well as the private class action) is that the publishers regarded Apple's entry into the e-books market as a chance to break Amazon's 90-percent monopoly. As part of that effort, the publishers allegedly conspired with Apple to change the e-books model from the wholesale pricing Amazon insisted upon to so-called "agency pricing," in which publishers set prices and Apple received a commission for every e-book it sold. Both the class action and the government suit assert that Apple and the publishers engaged in what's known as "per se" price-fixing, which means that plaintiffs must only prove there was a conspiracy to restrain competition and raise prices. The Justice Department and private plaintiffs claim the proof of the conspiracy is the rise in e-book prices after the publishers all signed agency-pricing deals with Apple, from $9.99 to $12.99 or $14.99 for new titles.
But the publishers have long argued that the price-fixing evidence doesn't add up, since they actually make less money per book through Apple's agency model than through wholesale pricing, in which they sold books directly to Amazon and received a percentage of that sale price. Before Amazon's e-book reader, the Kindle, faced competition from the iPad and Barnes & Noble's Nook, the publishers assert, Amazon regarded e-books as a loss leader to drive Kindle sales, so it was willing to pay relatively high prices to publishers. Nevertheless, according to the 24-page brief filed Friday by Penguin, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster, the publishers were all so concerned about Amazon's stranglehold on the e-books industry — and the risks that monopoly posed for sales of both e-books and traditional books — that they independently signed on with Apple. Independent decisions, even in parallel, don't constitute price-fixing, the publishers contend.
The publishers' motion to dismiss the class action relied heavily on the U.S. Supreme Court's 2007 ruling, Bell Atlantic v. Twombly, which held that antitrust plaintiffs must show specific, detailed evidence of a conspiracy. That may be a less appealing defense against the Justice Department's complaint, which includes the sort of specific allegations of meetings and e-mails that Twombly demands. Instead, when Apple and the publishers move to dismiss the government's suit, I'll expect to see an argument Apple raised in the 20-page brief its lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher filed Friday in the class action. Apple asserted that the e-book case should be considered under the "rule of reason" standard articulated in the U.S. Supreme Court's 2007 ruling Leegin Creative Leather v. PSKS. Under the rule of reason, as opposed to a per se price-fixing case, the plaintiffs have to prove the alleged conspiracy impacted the market.

Gender in Latin American History
Fall 2001
T/Th 11:30-12:45
Professor Avi Chomsky
Sullivan Building 109B
This course examines the social construction of gender in Latin American history. We study concepts that have structured Latin American beliefs about gender including of honor and shame, and machismo and marianismo, and examine issues of gender relations and sexuality. We ask how beliefs about gender and gender roles relate to social structures including race, class and political structures, how beliefs about gender and gender roles have changed over time, and how beliefs about gender and gender roles differ (or are the same) in the United States and Latin America.

Style Guide for History Papers
Avi Chomsky
Note: These are only the most basic guidelines. For more detailed information on writing history papers, see Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.
1. Title. Your paper needs a title, and the title should be substantive and meaningful, giving the reader a sense of what your paper will be about.
2. Number your pages.
3. Introduction. Your introductory paragraph should introduce the argument of your paper. Making general statements about your topic is not an adequate introduction.
4. Argument. Your paper needs an argument or thesis: a main point that you will illustrate, develop, and back up in the body of your paper.
5. Evidence.
6. Source citation. BE VERY CAREFUL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PLAGIARISM IS, AND TO AVOID IT. Any time you paraphrase ideas or take information from a source, you must ATTRIBUTE it to the source in the text (e.g., "According to Turabian,...") and CITE it with a page number. Any time you use actual words or phrases from a source, you must use quotation marks (as well as citing and attributing). For informal papers based on class sources, I do not require formal citation style—but acknowledgement of sources is ALWAYS required.
7. Conclusion. Your conclusion should draw conclusions about the issues you have raised in the paper. It should grow directly out of what you have shown in your paper. Don't bring in new issues, or make general moral statements, in your conclusion.
Special instructions for "Gender in LA History" short papers:
The questions I ask are very broad, and there are no "correct" answers. My goal is to get you to think about how specific examples or issues raised in the readings can help us think about large, theoretical questions in studying gender in Latin American history. Your paper should consist of your own thoughtful reflections on specific points in the readings (or films).

To me, there are few things greater than sitting on a bank somewhere and fishing. Finding an old maple tree to sit under, listening to the sounds of nature, obtaining food for next to nothing. That is, indeed, the life.
You may not like fishing. That's fine. Not everyone likes the same things. But no matter what you like, taking care of your items is very important. It reduces landfill size. Older things have an amortized carbon footprint and taking care of your items saves you money.How to Maintain a Fishing Rod and Reel
1.Always fish with the rod?s guides aligned.
2.Easy does it. Even though those fishing poles are designed to capture those fishy denizens of the deep, they are quite fragile compared to trees, car doors and rocks. Don't bang your fishing rod around.
3.Clean your rod when you are done fishing. Use a cloth and vinegar to wipe it clean. Make sure to remove all saltwater and other debris. Dry it off thoroughly before putting it away.
4.If you store your pole in a sleeve, make doubly sure that your rod is dry before putting it away. Moistness it the case could cause mildew and other forms of rot.
5.Guide rings with nicks on the interior should be sanded smooth or replaced all together. The nicks are likely to fray your line. Normally, repair is better than replace, but one nicked metal guide ring could cost you a half dozen hooks, jigs and weights. So in this case, replace the guide and recycle it if you cannot get the nick out.
6.Keep your reel out of the water (especially saltwater) and the sand.
7.Loosen drag completely before putting your reel away.
8.If you have been fishing in saltwater, remove the line before you put the fishing reel away.
9.To clean a reel, lightly mist with water and wipe down with a cloth.
10.You should take your reel apart from time to time and grease it. ESPN recommends the biodegradable product Simple Green.
11.Rub the rod's joints with candle wax to avoid excessive friction.
12.If you want to make your cork handle last longer, wear gloves while you fish. The oils in your hands are what wears on the cork.
13.If you're fighting that monster fish, be careful not to jerk your rod at an obtuse angle. Even a 90 angle can snap your rod. Keep your tip up but not overarched.

I show Photo ID every time I vote! NOW, I have to show birth certificate, proof of residence, SS card and what ever else just to get my drivers license renewed! They should do the same for voting as drivers license renewal ........☺
Absolutely. I find it incredible that anybody objects to voter ID. I mean - after all - voting is one of our most important rights AND privileges. And people have to have ID to:
*Drive a car
*Open a bank account
*Cash a check
*Get a medical prescription
*Enroll their children in school
*And scores of other things that are a part of everyday life
Why WOULDN'T ID be required for something as important as voting? I think the answer is obvious: just check out the woman I cited above who confessed to and was convicted of voting six times for Obama in 2012. She's now a Democratic party celebrity. In Chicago where I was raised, the widespread joke about the Democrats was that they vote "early and often" and that their dead rise from the grave to vote on election day. It was only said in half-jest.
Voter ID would minimize (if not eliminate) a lot of the cheating on election day. THAT'S why the Democrats object to it.
I saw that on the "NEWS" please post if she gets jail time! What she did was totally unacceptable...
"…and more good news for the Republicans."
The question is why is it good news for Republicans and not Americans as a whole? You made that statement because the law hurts voters that usually vote Democratic. It's not shocking to me anymore that you would favor a policy put in place by Republicans to hurt a group of people that Republicans don't value.
For those of you that don't know-the provision makes it harder for Americans – particularly African-Americans, the elderly, students and people with disabilities – to exercise their fundamental right to cast a ballot. Studies suggest that up to 11 percent of American citizens lack such ID, and would be required to navigate the administrative burdens to obtain it or forego the right to vote entirely.
I held you to a different esteem but today-you've shown me what you're about. What type of person comes on a sight and brags about making it harder for people to vote-voter suppression.
He grew up in a Democratic Bastion known for getting out the vote. Couple that with what was probably not a tip toe thru the tulips Catholic Education helps one form strong opinions.
Sebe overall is a good guy but excels in Semantic Argument.
"Sebe overall is a good guy but excels in Semantic Argument"
Some discussions are meant to trifle members of a certain group the individual or group wants to oppress.
Some discussions are discussions that pass the time and make life less intolerant, because humans have desires to uplift their own egos', though there are definitely more ways than one to uplift one's ego.
Some discussions are for "special" individuals that show no signs of emotional connection, so they proceed to possibly close the gap of emotional understanding by using their inquisitions and discussions, or they just keep to their small world of ideologies and tries to shape the world into their own small world of ideologies.
Need I say more...
Supporting voter ID laws isn't voter suppression. It's considered suppression to people who don't believe the "Rule of Law" Constitution. It is a fact that you must be a US Citizen to vote; so how will we ensure compliance of that law to its maximum extent. Voter ID Law, right now it isn't a requirement to document such cases other than a provincial ballot that is supposed to be verified before that vote is legal. We will only know the unarguable extent of voter fraud when we are able to enforce or document it. In today's age of technology it doesn't hold water just to base having Voter ID on emotion and empathy first, you enforce the law and add solutions for those that would have difficulty with compliance. An easy solution would be to add kiosks throughout Walmarts, Targets, etc, etc, etc, to accommodate registration for people who would be challenged to actually get to a DMV and get registered. Additionally you would also want to extend this process for at least 2-4 years and no extensions of the deadline without congressional approval. An example of adhering to rule of law is when I stop a convenience store such as Flash Foods to purchase a 12 pack of Coors Light the register sends out an audible reminder to the cashier and patron"Hey, check that ID". So yes Voter ID is necessary to protect this Democratic Republics interest, not just the interest of minorities, impoverished or whomever may have difficulty to acquire the proper credentials to prove their "Right to Vote"
"The question is why is it good news for Republicans and not Americans as a whole?"
Because this is a POLITICAL blog, PN - which is designed to give the ObamaCare "losers" and those who feel the country is headed in the wrong direction some HOPE for CHANGE, that's why.
As for voter rights, the argument that it makes it more difficult to vote is pure BALONEY (and I'm being kind with the terminology). EVERYBODY has to have some ID in this country - except illegals and those who want to HIDE their ID for some reason. In those states with ID laws fully implemented, they have made it ridiculously simple to obtain that ID.
Right here in the great state of Georgia is a good example of how simple it is. On the Secretary of State's web site it says this:
"Georgia's Voter Identification Card
If you do not have one of the six acceptable forms of photo ID, the State of Georgia offers a FREE Voter Identification Card. An identification card can be issued at any county registrar's office or Department of Driver Services Office free of charge."
"If you have questions, need more information or have difficulty getting a FREE Voter Identification Card, you can contact your county registrar's office or the Secretary of State's Elections Division..."
See: http://sos.ga.gov/index.php/elections...
If a person lives and breathes, and has a phone (including an ObamaPhone) or a friend, they can get a FREE voter ID card. If somebody can haul their butts to the voting booth on election day, they can find a way to get a FREE voter ID card. The Democrats pride themselves on "getting out the vote" each election cycle. WHY CAN'T THEIR VAUNTED ELECTION MACHINE HELP ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WHO SUPPOSEDLY HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO GET VOTER ID?
The reason is obvious: they WANT people to vote six times for Obama in the same election. They WANT to have illegals and those looking for a government hand-out (i.e., a large part of their constituencies) to vote WHETHER THEY DO IT LEGALLY OR NOT.
Voter ID should be the law of the land. The polls show that as each day passes, more and more Americans agree.
…and sorry, PN – I like your new handle image – but it's time to step on the head of the snake once again. In his article from last week titled "The High Costs of ObamaCare," Jack Kelly points out that:
"Americans who says they've been hurt by Obamacare outnumber those who say they've benefited from it by more than 2 to 1, according to recent polls by both Rasmussen and Gallup."
This gap will only WIDEN as the provisions of ObamaCare that the President has "kicked down the road" past the 2014 elections and beyond take effect. When the effects of the small business and individual mandates fully take effect, the people negatively affected will increase – as will the anger of ObamaCare "losers" across the nation. Those effects will certainly be felt in the 2016 election. The degree to which they will influence the election results is still to be determined.
Kelly goes on to further state:
"Obamacare will reduce the earnings of its 300,000 members by up to $5 an hour by making them replace their current health insurance policies, according to a report by Unite Here, a union which represents chiefly lower-wage workers in service industries. The union said it "threatens the middle class with higher premiums, loss of hours and a shift to part-time work and less comprehensive coverage."
The administration plans to spend $965 billion on Obamacare subsidies. They'll benefit insurance companies at the expense of the low-wage workers, according to the Unite Here report. Since Obamacare passed, it said, "The average stock price of the big for-profit health insurers doubled, their top executives were paid more than a half-billion dollars in cash and stock options."
A Brooking Institution study indicated that families with incomes between $20,000 and $38,000 will suffer the largest proportionate income declines.
"Only in Washington could asking the bottom of the middle class to finance health care for the poorest families be seen as reducing inequality," the Unite Here report said.
Those who think Obamacare is a bad deal, or who can't afford it, aren't likely to change their minds before the end of the month. President Barack Obama gave them a good reason not to when he (illegally) delayed, again, enforcement of the provision canceling "substandard" policies.
This may save the scalps of a few endangered Democrats, but it undermines the economic viability of his "signature legislative achievement."
For the entire article, see: http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/2...
"He grew up in a Democratic Bastion known for getting out the vote. Couple that with what was probably not a tip toe thru the tulips Catholic Education helps one form strong opinions.
Sebe overall is a good guy but excels in Semantic Argument."
You call it "semantic argument." I call it FACTS.
"Need I say more..."
No, PN - we know EXACTLY where you are coming from. You are a part of a traditional Democratic party constituency who - as one national blogger pointed out recently - wouldn't criticize this president if their life depended on it.
The rest of us see this administration and the leadership (i.e., the lack thereof) President Obama has provided to be a significant detriment to ALL THE PEOPLE. We are speaking out and you don't like it.
Sorry about that, but that's what this blog forum is designed for.
"Supporting voter ID laws isn't voter suppression."
You've hit the nail on the head, Funky. But obviously the Democrats are selling it that way because that's the only argument they have. They can't come right out and say: "We WANT illegals to vote because they vote for us in huge numbers." They can't come out and say that: "We WANT felons and others on the dole who would be otherwise disqualified to vote to be able to cast their ballots because those people vote for us in huge numbers." They can't say: "We WANT the dead to vote and people who vote for our candidates to cast their ballots SIX TIMES IN THE SAME ELECTION." They can't say: "We don't want voters to be VERIFIED so that their ballots are legal. We'll take 'em any way they come - legal or NOT."
So they say: Gee - it's to hard to get a FREE voter ID card. People who can get to the polls or vote absentee can't get a FREE voter ID card.
That dog won't hunt.
Kobe Bryant (of all people) had something to say recently which is pertinent to this discussion. I usually disregard the political opinions and statements of national celebrities and professional athletes because I question their motives. But when one "goes against the grain" and speaks out from pure common sense and logic, I believe they should be recognized and commended.
In an article posted yesterday on newsone.com (a web site subtitled "For Black America"), Bryant is quoted from an interview which will appear in an upcoming issue of the New Yorker magazine in which he said this about the Miami Heat's support for Trayvon Martin:
"I won't react to something just because I'm supposed to, because I'm an African-American," he said. "That argument doesn't make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we've progressed as a society? Well, we've progressed as a society, then don't jump to somebody's defense just because they're African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right?"
See: http://newsone.com/3001242/kobe-bryan...
IMHO - Kobe Bryant is displaying an incredible amount of guts with this statement. I'm certain that he'll take a beating in the social media and from the vast left-wing conspiracy in this country that is hell-bent on perpetuating their constituencies' dependence on them. But this is the kind of attitude and critical thinking that moves us toward racial harmony in this country - NOT the polarizing, self-serving, race-baiting nonsense we usually see in the national spotlight.

In Dark Lady, Richard North Patterson displays the mastery of setting, psychology, and story that makes him unique among writers of suspense, and one of today's most original and enthralling novelists.
In Steelton, a struggling Midwestern city on the cusp of an economic turnaround, two prominent men are found dead within days of each other. One is Tommy Fielding, a senior officer of the company building a new baseball stadium, the city's hope for the future. The other is Jack Novak, the local drug dealers' attorney of choice. Fielding's death with a prostitute, from an overdose of heroin, seems accidental; Novak is apparently the victim of a ritual murder. But in each case the character of the dead man seems contradicted by the particulars of his death. Coincidence or connection?
The question falls to Assistant County Prosecutor Stella Marz. Despite a traumatic breach with her alcoholic and embittered father, she has risen from a working-class background to become head of the prosecutor's homicide unit. A driven woman, she is called the Dark Lady by defense lawyers for her relentless, sometimes ruthless, style: in seven years only one case has gotten away from her, and only because the defendant took his own life. She has earned every inch of both her official and her off-the-record titles, and recently she's decided to go after another: to become the first woman elected Prosecutor of Erie County. But that was before the brutal murder of her ex-lover--Jack Novak.
Novak's death leads her into a labyrinth where her personal and professional lives become dangerously intertwined. There is the possibility that Novak fixed drug cases for the city's crime lord, Vincent Moro, with the help of law enforcement personnel, and perhaps with someone in Stella's own office . . . the bitter mayoral race which threatens to undermine her own ambitions . . . her attraction to a colleague who may not be what he seems . . . the lingering, complicated effects of her painful affair with Novak . . . the growing certainty that she is being watched and followed. Making her way through a maze of corruption, deceit, and greed, trusting no one, Stella comes to believe that the search for the truth involves the bleak history of Steelton itself--a history that now endangers her future, and perhaps her life.
For his uncanny dialogue, subtle delineation of character, and hypnotic narrative, critics have compared Richard North Patterson to John O'Hara and Dashiell Hammett. Now, in the character of the Dark Lady, he has created a woman as fascinating as her world is haunting. Dark Lady is his signature work.
Chapter One
In the moments before the brutal murder of Jack Novak ended what she later thought of as her time of innocence, Assistant County Prosecutor Stella Marz gazed down at the waterfront of her native city, Steelton.
At thirty-eight, Stella would not have called herself an innocent. Nor was the view from her corner office one that lightened her heart. The afternoon sky was a close, sunless cobalt, typical of Steelton in winter. The sludge-gray Onandaga River divided the city as it met Lake Erie beneath a steel bridge: the valley carved by the river was a treeless expanse of railroad tracks, boxcars, refineries, cranes, chemical plants, and, looming over all of this, the smokestacks of the steel mills--squat, black, and enormous--on which Steelton's existence had once depended. From early childhood, Stella could remember the stench of mill smoke, the stain left on the white blouse of her school uniform drying on her mother's clothesline; from her time in night law school, she recalled the evening that the river had exploded in a stunning instant of spontaneous combustion caused by chemical waste and petroleum derivatives, the flames which climbed five stories high against the darkness. Between these two moments--the apogee of the mills and the explosion of the river--lay the story of a city and its decline.
By heritage, Stella herself was part of this story. The mills had boomed after the Civil War, manned by the earliest wave of immigrants--Germans and British, Welsh and Irish--who, in the early 1870s, had worked fourteen hours a day, six days a week. Their weekly pay was $11.50; in 1874, years of seething resentment ignited a strike, with angry workers demanding twenty-five cents more a week. The leading owner, Amasa Hall, shut down his mills, informing the strikers that, upon reopening, he would give jobs only to those who agreed to a fifty-cent cut. When the strikers refused, Hall boarded his yacht and embarked on a cruise around the world.
Hall stopped at Danzig, then a Polish seaport on the Baltic. He advertised extensively for young workers, offering the kingly wage of $7.25 a week and free transport to America. The resulting wave of Polish strikebreakers--poor, hardworking, Roman Catholic, and largely illiterate--had included Stella's great-grandfather, Carol Marzewski. It was on their backs that Amasa Hall had, quite systematically, undercut and eventually wiped out the other steel producers in the area, acquiring their mills and near-total sway over the region's steel industry. And it was the slow, inexorable decline of those same mills into sputtering obsolescence which had left Stella's father, Armin Marz, unemployed and bitter.
Recalling the flames which had leaped from the Onandaga, a brilliant orange-blue against the night sky, had reminded Stella of another memory from childhood, the East Side riots. Just as the West Side of Steelton was home to European immigrants--the first wave had been joined by Italians, Russians, Poles, Slovaks, and Austro-Hungarians--so the city's industry had drawn a later influx of migrants from the American South, the descendants of former slaves, to the eastern side of the Onandaga. But these newcomers were less welcomed, by employers or the heretofore all-white labor force. Stella could not remember a time in her old neighborhood, Warszawa, when the black interlopers were not viewed with suspicion and contempt; the fiery explosion of the East Side into riots in the sixties--three days of arson and shootouts with police--had helped convert this into fear and hatred. A last trickle of nonwhites--Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Koreans, Haitians, Chinese, and Vietnamese--felt welcome, if at all, only on the impoverished...
