We've heard of parents losing custody of obese children, but now it seems that a Canadian court used one father's excessive weight as the reason to deny him custody of his sons, according to Canada.com.
The 38-year-old dad, who cannot be identified under the Child and Family Services Act, is presently involved in a custody battle with the Royal Ottawa Hospitals' family court clinic over his two sons. The boys, ages five and six, both have special needs. The clinic does court-ordered evaluations on parents and they use obesity as one of the factors when determining whether someone is fit to be a parent.
Plus: Should Parents Lose Custody of Extremely Obese Kids?
The boys in question were seized from their mother's house last year after she went to get treatment for a suspected overdose. The father weighed 525 pounds at that time. Since then, he has lost 180 pounds and is working hard to lose more. The dad claims that he was offered gastric bypass surgery to help with his weight struggle, which he refused. "I wanted to do it on my own so I would respect the weight loss myself," he said. He also claims to have stopped smoking marijuana in response to the clinic's assessment of an addiction.
Plus: Fitness Quiz - How Healthy Is Your Family?
"Regardless of how much weight (the father) may have lost to date, he will continue to be at risk related to his obesity for some considerable time," wrote the family court doctor responsible for reviewing the man's case.
The father, who responded by saying he was "never too fat to be a dad," has not seen his sons in a year. The boys are currently in foster care.
Plus: Mom Puts 7-Year-Old on a Diet, Details for Vogue
"Any human who has the capacity, intellect and desire can be a wonderful parent, no matter if they are a dwarf or a parent in a wheelchair," he said. "Parenting comes from the heart and soul."
Do you think a person's weight can interfere with his or her ability to be a good parent?

DENVER—A man accused of stealing one of comedian Tim Allen's cars is in a Denver jail awaiting extradition to Los Angeles.
Thirty-four-year-old Faustino Ibarra was being held without bond on Monday. Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Ibarra was arrested Saturday after someone reported a stolen car. Police confirmed that the customized 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS belonged to the "Home Improvement" star but it hadn't yet been reported stolen when it turned up in Denver.
In an interview with KDVR-TV ( http://bit.ly/TpJirK) in jail, Ibarra claimed that Allen adopted him years ago. He said that Allen left the door to his garage open along with the keys so he could drive it to Denver.
On his website, Allen says his Impala has a 32-valve, 446-horsepower Corvette ZR1 engine.

2012 Porsche Boxster Values
Select a 2012 Porsche Boxster trim level
2012 model year changes
For 2012, the Boxster returns largely unchanged, save for the addition of a new Black Edition trim level. The Black Edition, available on S models, features a special all-black exterior and interior color scheme, and includes a number of additional standard features over the regular S model. Only 987 examples will be built.
Competitive comparison
Superb steering and handling, top-level overall performance in an easy-to-live-with package
Special features for 2012
The Porsche Boxster is one of the most inexpensive new Porsche sports cars available, but that doesn't mean it isn't pure Porsche through and through. The Boxster is known for its excellent handling and balance, just like its older brother, the 911, and a variety of trim levels allow buyers to select just how much performance they'd like. For a base price of around $50k, the Boxster is a great deal, with better handling than the BMW Z4, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Nissan 370Z.
The 2012 Porsche Boxster is a mid-engine roadster that is powered by a 2.9-liter flat-6 engine that produces 255 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the Boxster S trim grants the driver a 3.4-liter flat-6 engine that produces 310 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. Additional trims include the light-weight Boxster Spyder and Black Edition Boxster, both of which produce 320 hp and a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds. All Boxster models are RWD and come standard with a six-speed manual transmission. The Boxster gets an EPA estimated 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Options include PDK transmission, Porsche Communication Management system, Bose® sound system, hardtop, and Bluetooth® connectivity. Safety is comprised of 6 airbags, Porsche Stability Management, Porsche Side Impact Protection, vehicle tracking system/anti-theft protection, and advanced four-piston aluminum monoblock brake calipers. The Boxster is backed by a 4-years/50,000-mile warranty.

NAMM 2010: Roland introduces AC-33 acoustic amplifier
The popular Roland AC acoustic amps gain a new member with the arrival of the AC-33 Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier.
Designed for both high-quality sound and supreme portability, the AC-33 is the world's first AA battery-powered amp designed specifically for the acoustic guitar.
It features instrument, XLR microphone, and AUX inputs, along with built-in digital effects, an anti-feedback function, an onboard looper and an integrated tilt stand for enhanced sound projection.
With the ability to run on eight AA batteries (including NiMH rechargeable types) or AC power, the AC-33 is the perfect amplifier for acoustic performers on the go. The high-efficiency 30-watt stereo amp and dual 5" speakers provide excellent sound coverage for any intimate performance, including restaurants, coffee houses, open mic nights, street busking and more.
The multiple audio inputs allow the AC-33 to function as a portable PA, amplifying a guitar, vocal, and backing track from a music player all at the same time.
The AC-33 comes equipped with Roland's famous stereo chorus effect, as well as easy-to-use reverb and ambience effects. For worry-free playing in high-volume situations, the unique anti-feedback function automatically detects acoustic instrument feedback and eliminates it before it starts.
The onboard looper allows users to record and play back up to 40 seconds of on-the-fly musical backing, with the ability to capture unlimited "sound on sound" style overdubs. The looper and effects can be controlled with optional foot switches.
The AC-33 is scheduled to ship in January.

Fat cat compensation should play no role in responsible corporate performance at taxpayer-guaranteed banks. Prior to the financial crisis, the CEOs of the giant financial institutions that drove our economy off a cliff received exorbitant compensation packages. Corporate officers should be paid for long-term performance, not short-term illusions. Managers of financial firms receiving federal support should be accountable to taxpayers as well as shareholders.
To rein in excessive CEO pay and restore accountability, Public Citizen supports the following reforms:

Africa needs one million new teachers by 2015
The demand for teachers in sub-Saharan Africa continues to grow as more African children get a chance to go to school.
New data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) shows that Africa needs an additional 993,000 primary-level teaching positions by 2015 in order to provide quality education to the region's primary school-age children.
"Countries in sub-Saharan Africa that currently increase enrolment in primary education will need to recruit the equivalent of 63% of their current teaching workforce before 2015," says Marc Bernal, UIS regional advisor in Africa.
Lack of qualifications
In order words, Africa would have to increase its teaching workforce by one-third of its current 3.1 million teachers.
This is the situation in the great majority of African countries with the exception of Botswana, Burundi, Cape Verde, Madagascar, Mauritius, Sao Tome and Principe, Sierra Leone, Swaziland, and Togo.
"The pressure to hire many new teachers to meet the goal of Universal Primary Education and replace teachers leaving the profession often lead to the recruitment of less qualified teachers or even to lower national standards," adds Bernal.
The most extreme shortages are found in eight African countries, where the required annual growth of teaching staff exceeds 10%: Eritrea (24.0%), the Central African Republic (21.2%), Chad (16.0%), Burkina Faso (13.8%), Malawi (13.6%), Mali (14.4%), Niger (14.1%) and Côte d'Ivoire (12.4%).
Lack of female teachers
UNESCO's Institute for Statistics also highlights the lack of gender balance among teachers in Africa. While primary teachers are generally women in most of the world, men dominate the profession in sub-Saharan Africa.
Women account for less than 30% of new recruits in countries like Eritrea and Mali. Nonetheless, progress is being made in other countries: for example in Ghana, the number of female teachers among the new recruits is higher than in the current teaching force.
UNESCO works on several fronts to assist African countries to meet the increasing demand for teachers. Actions include:
- Reinforcing teacher training institutions,
- Supporting teacher policy formulation and implementation,
- Promoting teachers' professional development,
- Monitoring instruments and promoting teaching standards, and
- Producing and disseminating knowledge about teachers.

Motley Crue + Kiss Set to Unveil Details of Joint Tour
If the news that Motley Crue and Kiss are planning to embark on a tour this summer pretty much made your life when we reported it earlier this week, then more good news appears to be coming your way. Both bands have posted tickers at the top of their respective homepages, presumably counting down the days, hours and minutes until they announce more details about what will surely be an epic co-headlining trek.
Check out The Crue's ticker here. Also, you can go here to view the clock on the Kiss website. Now that's how you build anticipation.
Crue singer Vince Neil spilled the beans about the tour recently to the Las Vegas Sun, saying, "It's going to be really cool because Kiss is bringing their full stage show, and Motley will be bringing our full stage show. So, you are going to see two huge headliners at the same time. It's going to be one of the biggest tours of the summer, if not the biggest."
Neil isn't kidding about this being one of the biggest and best rock spectacles of the summer, if not of 2012. Rumor has it the tour will last for about three months. Whatever the case, a full-on Crue set paired with full-on Kiss set in the space of a single night should turn out to be the highlight of any self-respecting hard rock fan's summer.
While we've got you here, check out our pol regarding this tour. Be sure to vote and tell us what you think.

Elizabeth Daitz, East Rockaway
A silver lining
To the Editor:
Thanksgiving took on special meaning this year, as East Rockaway came together as one community to recover from the destruction Superstorm Sandy caused for so many of our neighbors.
The village board and I remain committed to providing relief to homeowners and businesses and are thankful for the assistance received from neighboring municipalities. Lynbrook Mayor William Hendrick and Rockville Centre Mayor Fran Murray loaned us sanitation manpower and vehicles, increasing the number of our already hardworking sanitation crews out on the streets. Town of Hempstead Councilman Anthony J. Santino and Supervisor Kate Murray also arranged for TOH sanitation assistance. Not only did we receive additional personnel, but refuse is now able to be disposed by sanitation at the town's transfer station. Murray and Santino also opened a relief center at Hewlett Point Beach where residents can come for hot showers daily between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
There is at least one bright silver lining in the aftermath of the storm: East Rockaway's immediate response to all neighbors has brought out the best in our community. It's the type of small-town charm that can't be replicated or replaced. It makes me and the village board proud.
Francis T. Lenahan Jr.
Mayor, Village of East Rockaway

Paris Hilton is trying to make peace in her legal battle in New York City with an Italian lingerie maker.
The socialite appeared in federal court in Manhattan on Monday for closed-door settlement talks in a lawsuit brought by Le Bonitas.
The company sued Hilton in 2010 over a licensing agreement for a line of lingerie. It claims she hurt business by not signing off on its designs quickly enough.
In a countersuit, Hilton accused the company of trying to avoid paying $1.5 million it owes her.
Both sides left court without announcing a settlement.

Published January 13, 2015
Patrick Corbin fired six solid innings of three-hit ball, as the Arizona Diamondbacks blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-0, on Friday in the opener of a three-game set at Chase Field.
Corbin (2-0) fanned four and walked three in the start, while Brad Ziegler and David Hernandez each tossed a inning in relief. J.J. Putz kept the Dodgers off the board in the ninth to secure his second save of the season.
"He was throwing the ball really well," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said of Corbin. "He had great command. He was solid the whole game and threw the ball very well."
Martin Prado knocked in a run and registered two of Arizona's six hits, while Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI for the Diamondbacks, who have won two straight.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, were coming off a series victory over the Padres which included a bench-clearing brawl in Thursday's finale after LA starter Zack Greinke plunked San Diego outfielder Carlos Quentin in the sixth inning.
Los Angeles, which learned Friday that Greinke will miss eight weeks with a broken collarbone, managed just six hits and left 10 men on base against the Arizona pitching staff.
Clayton Kershaw (2-1) was a tough-luck loser, as the lanky left-hander, who had spun 16.0 scoreless innings over his first two starts, was charged with all three runs on six hits with three walks and nine strikeouts over 7 1/3 frames.
"It was a battle for me tonight," Kershaw admitted. "They did a good job, worked some counts and got my pitch count up a little bit. It was just a frustrating night."
After the Dodgers failed to score with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the fourth, the Diamondbacks were able to break through in the bottom half on their first opportunity with runners in scoring position.
Gerardo Parra started the frame with a single before making his way to third on Prado's line-drive base hit into left-center field.
Kershaw was able to limit the damage, though, as the southpaw got Goldschmidt to ground into a double-play, which scored Parra.
Neither offense put much together from there until the eighth, when a Matt Kemp single and an Adrian Gonzalez walk found the Dodgers with runners on the corners and one out.
Hernandez pitched his way out of trouble, however, as he struck out pinch- hitter Carl Crawford and got Andre Ethier to ground out to end the frame.
Arizona then added a pair of insurance runs in the bottom half, as Kershaw issued back-to-back one-out singles before walking Parra to load the bases.
Shawn Tolleson took over for Kershaw and promptly walked the only two hitters he faced to chase home two runs and give the Diamondbacks a 3-0 lead.
Putz ran into trouble in the ninth after Nick Punto smacked a one-out single and Skip Schumaker walked, but the Arizona right-hander got Jerry Hairston to ground into a game-ending double play to close out the victory.
Game Notes
Kershaw now has 999 career strikeouts ... Hairston received a one-game suspension for his action's during Thursday's brawl that he has appealed ... Arizona went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base.

From FrankWarren.com:
Happy New Year to one and all. Let's hope it's another bonanza for the fight game. As it's time to speculate, here's ten to watch in 2014 in alphabetical order:
Tom Baker One of 13 children born into a Romany gypsy family, the 22 year old redhead from Chingford is unbeaten in six at super-middle. Schooled by the venerable Mark and Jimmy Tibbs in Canning Town, quiet lad Tom already possesses one of the most polished jabs in the industry, plus fabulous skill and variety. Twice a senior ABA finalist in his teens, Baker scalped the feted Callum Smith in the amateur code. Once he acquires full man strength, he's sure to evolve into a major force.
Frank Buglioni Once an undergraduate at Westminster University, and now moonlighting as a catwalk model, 'The Wise Guy' is arguably the hottest rising commodity in British boxing. A crippling puncher who shifts over 800 tickets for a fight, the 24 year old super-middle from Enfield has the stardust to restore big time boxing to the capital. Another groomed by the Tibbses, Buglioni – unbeaten in 11 – is now acquiring the patience and guile to ensure that when he detonates his bombs, he regularly strikes the target.
Luke Campbell It would be hard to omit England's most decorated amateur of all-time. He struck gold on home soil at both the 2012 London Olympics and 2008 Europeans in Liverpool, plus bagging silver at the 2011 World Seniors. He's undeniably skilled and tactically astute, unbeaten in four, his opposition now needs to be stepped up.
Craig Evans This 24 year old southpaw from Blackwood is arguably the most gifted Welshman to join the pros since Nathan Cleverly. Highly skilled and blessed with sizzling hands and a sharp brain, lightweight Craig once extended double Olympic champion Vasyl Lomachenko the full trip at the World amateur games and holds three wins over double European amateur champion Andrew Selby. In 11 pro starts, he's barely lost a round and is now ready to be unleashed at ten round level.
Terry Flanagan With a perfect 22 fight pro CV, 'Turbo Terry' is long overdue his crack at the British lightweight title. The 24 year old southpaw from Manchester struggled to win half of his 60 amateur bouts. However, since ditching the head guard and vest, he's captured a Prizefighter trophy and an English title. Latterly, he's added power to his unquestionable industry and in April stopped Florida's one-time world lightweight champion Nate Campbell in four – certainly one to watch.
Anthony Joshua Nothing attracts the casual sports fan to boxing more than a heavyweight hitter and 'Big Josh' is our best prospect since Lennox Lewis. The 6ft 6in Watford giant didn't lace the gloves until his late teens but quickly bludgeoned his way to a brace of ABA crowns and the British amateur title. After getting nudged out in the 2011 world amateur final, his super-heavyweight gold medal at London 2012 confirmed Joshua has the big time temperament to supplement his obvious athleticism and chilling power. Still only 24, he has plenty of time to bloom and I'd be very disappointed if he didn't land a world title.
Josh Leather A former England amateur captain, this 22 year old light-welter who really impressed me when winning the ABA Title. Since debuting at the Copper Box last September, the Teesider – a triple national junior titlist and 2012 ABA lightweight champion – has sizzled in both his pro airings. A fistic whirlwind, Leather has the engine, movement and hand speed to make his mark.
Bradley Saunders With almost a century of England appearances on his CV, the Sedgefield light-welter is this country's most seasoned amateur international of this Millennium. And now that his maligned hands are free from injury, he should sprint to world class in the paid code. Physically mature, frighteningly determined and blessed with every conceivable attribute bar good fortune, expect the 27 year old Durham lad to ride roughshod through the domestic and continental ranks over the next 18 months and re-ignite the fight scene in the north-east.
Callum Smith The youngest and some say the most naturally gifted of the four fighting brothers from Liverpool, 'Mundo' won a British amateur title and Commonwealth Games silver medal in 2010 as a string bean 6ft 3in welterweight. Three years on, and a stone and a half heavier, the 23 year old from Joe Gallagher's gym in Bolton has stormed the pros, winning nine straight with six victims succumbing inside a round. A master technician with a raking right hand and astute brain, time will show if young Smith can receive as well as he gives.
Mitchell Smith Mitch might look like your paper boy but there's not a guard dog in the land that would put the frighteners up this angel faced assassin. Raised by his father, young Smith first sought solace in the boxing gym as a six year old after being bullied at school. However, today the 21 year old super-feather from Harrow Weald oozes swagger and spite in equal measure. Though short and compact, he has the arsenal and timing to offset his shortcomings, plus a vicious instinct to execute a wounded opponent. A real natural.
Further talented names to look out for next year include: Teenage heavyweight sensation Hughie Fury blazed through 2013 - his first year as a professional - remaining unbeaten in twelve with seven stoppages. With big cousin Tyson providing a guiding hand, the talented 19-year-old is looking to make a big impact in his second year that could see him challenge for a title. 'Gorgeous' Georgie Kean, like Frank Buglioni, is a phenomenal ticket-seller and sold close to a thousand on his professional debut. The 22-year-old welterweight, who's unbeaten in two, looks like he's out of a boy band, but is all-action in the ring with his aggressive style - and to top it he's an Islington boy! Hot-on-the-heels of British and Commonwealth Super-Flyweight Champion Paul Butler is fellow Ellesmere Port prospect Matty Fagan. The lightweight trains alongside Butler under top coach Anthony Farnell and he could be a diamond in the rough. The popular 25-year-old is unbeaten in four fights and next year could see big strides for him.

Texas A&M Physicist's Committee Weighs In On Future Of U.S. Nuclear Science
Jan 30, 2013, 04:48 ET
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new report from a government committee chaired by Texas A&M University physicist Robert Tribble has major implications for the future of U.S. nuclear science.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120502/DC99584LOGO)
Tribble, director of the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute, oversaw the creation of the report, accepted Jan. 29 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/National Science Foundation (NSF) Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) and slated for public release in about a week once it is transmitted to the two agencies. Tribble served a 3-year term as chair of the NSAC from 2006-09 and was asked in May 2012 by the current chair, Argonne National Laboratory's Donald Geesaman, to lead a subcommittee charged with examining the impact of different budgetary scenarios on the nation's nuclear science program and how to maintain U.S. leadership in nuclear science despite budgetary constraints.
Condition Critical
Tribble's subcommittee is advocating for a 1.6 percent increase per year in the DOE's current nuclear physics budget of roughly $530 million annually, an amount he says is necessary to prevent the U.S. from losing its competitive edge in the field. Budgets short of that level of funding would result in a major reduction of capabilities in the U.S. program.
"If we don't invest in the fundamental-discovery sciences, we might not be able to take advantage of the next major technological breakthrough," said Tribble, after discussing the final report earlier this week with his 21-person committee. "If you look at history, all of our technology now came from discovery science. It was not science funded by anyone to make a product. It was just, 'why is this happening?'"
Tribble's advisory panel zeroed in on examining the future of three key national laboratories that are the backbone of the U.S. nuclear physics program: Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC); the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News, Va.; and a planned $615 million lab at Michigan State University called the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).
Scientists in these labs are conducting research that could potentially be world-changing. At Brookhaven, Tribble notes, researchers are studying a new form of matter that has similar properties to the kind that would have been around roughly 14 billion years ago just an instant after the Big Bang, what's thought to be the earliest moment in the history of the universe.
Nuclear to the Core
Tribble, a distinguished professor of physics and an international leader in experimental nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics, joined the Texas A&M faculty in 1975. He has served since 2003 as director of the Cyclotron Institute, which represents the core of the university's nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry program.
The institute, which operates one of only four university-based DOE-funded laboratories equipped with one of only five K500 superconducting cyclotrons worldwide, serves as a major technical and educational resource for both Texas and the U.S. In addition to educating thousands of students in accelerator-based science and technology, it brings in more than $3 million annually in external use and testing by companies such as Boeing and Lockheed-Martin that rent time on the cyclotron for their own research projects.
Beyond traditional research and teaching, the institute also plays a vital role in the general university's K-12 outreach, undergraduate research and teacher-training programs, helping to pave educational pathways and prepare young people for careers in the nuclear industry while building an informed knowledge base with the potential to shape future nuclear policy.

It's no wonder that Luis Buñuel wanted to turn "The Monk" into a movie. Once banned, now merely cherished, the 1796 novel is a lurid amalgam of religious devotion and sin, earthly temptations and supernatural doings. Buñuel never made his movie, but there have been numerous adaptations. The latest, from French director Dominik Moll, is a work whose elegant atmospherics ultimately overwhelm the story, even with the terrific Vincent Cassel in the title role.
Moll's version, arriving stateside almost two years after it opened in France, is a decided change of pace for the director of "With a Friend Like Harry" and new territory as well for Cassel. He's a usually kinetic performer with a devilish gleam in his eye, and the chance to watch him play the role of Ambrosio with intense stillness is the film's chief pleasure.
Abandoned as an infant and raised by Capuchin monks outside Madrid, Ambrosio is a celebrity among friars, his powerful sermons drawing huge crowds. The ardor of his message makes virtuous Antonia (Joséphine Japy) faint. Another young woman (Déborah François) devises an ingenious ruse to get close to him.
Halfway through the film, she gets very close to him indeed, and Moll's restraint gives way to a tastefully overwrought checklist of Gothic imagery. In the cloistered shadows and the harsh Castilian sun, the visuals are handsome, even as the movie threatens to tip into parody. Glimmers of the dark humor that fueled Moll's "Harry" and "Lemming" barely register; what abides are the flickers of self-knowledge as the good father turns bad.

New Car Review
2013 Audi TT RS: New Car Review
Pros: Heroic all-wheel-drive handling, awesome performance from unique turbocharged inline-5, top-notch interior, distinctive styling.
Cons: Noisy at speed, not offered as a convertible, limited production run.
What's New: The 2013 TT RS can be decked out with a 2-tone leather interior, but it's otherwise unchanged from last year.
Forget what you think you know about the cute little TT coupe, because the 2013 Audi TT RS is a whole other animal.
It all starts with the drivetrain. Instead of Audi's familiar turbocharged inline-4, the TT RS is stuffed with a turbocharged inline-5 (yes, five) that cranks out 360 horsepower and some of the most distinctive engine noises on the market. The quattro all-wheel-drive system has been beefed up to make sure all that power goes where it should. And the transmission isn't some trendy dual-clutch automatic; it's a proper 6-speed manual with three pedals at your feet.
Now consider the TTS, Audi's next-hottest TT model. It makes do with about 100 fewer horses from the 2.0T 4-cylinder engine, and the only transmission where there's an automatic setup that exercises your fingers, not your heel and toe.
So if you've been wondering whether the TT RS is worth the $10,000-plus premium, wonder no more. The RS upgrades transform the TT into a borderline supercar, and a very accessible one at that. As long as you know how to drive a stick shift, the 2013 TT RS will make you feel like a hero every time you merge onto the highway or zip through a corner. Throw in Audi's usual sumptuous interior with a few tasteful RS tweaks, and you're looking at one of the most desirable sports cars on the market.
Comfort & Utility
The 2013 Audi TT RS coupe comes standard with 19-inch alloy wheels; an electronically adjustable magnetic-ride suspension; upgraded brakes; flared fenders; a fixed rear spoiler (which can be deleted at no cost); various other RS-specific exterior styling cues; Xenon headlamps with LED accents; a carbon-fiber engine cover; Nappa leather upholstery (Alcantara is a no-cost option); a 3-knob climate system with automatic temperature control; a tilt-telescopic steering wheel; Bluetooth connectivity; and a 140-watt audio system with an SD-card slot, an auxiliary input, and satellite radio.
The major option is the Tech package, which adds adaptive Xenon headlights, parking sensors, interior LED accents, a 255-watt Bose audio system and Audi's Multi-Media Interface with a 6.5-in display screen, a dash-mounted control knob, navigation with real-time traffic, a 6-CD changer, two SD-card slots, and iPod integration. Other options include a sport exhaust, heated front seats and 2-tone leather trim.
In our interior evaluation, we found the TT RS's interior to be the pinnacle of TT cabin artistry, combining the usual top-shelf materials with a tastefully sporty RS theme. The flat-bottom steering wheel is unique in that it doesn't have shift paddles--the TT RS is the only TT that offers (indeed, mandates) a proper manual transmission. The seats are familiar with the exception of their RS badging, and they continue to do a solid job of holding you in place around corners, though adjustable side-bolsters would be welcome. Although the TT RS is a tiny car, tall folks fit surprisingly well thanks to the tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel and the standard power height adjustment for the driver's seat.
Behind that flat-bottom wheel it are a classic analog tachometer and speedometer with numerals rendered in Audi's distinctive font. The climate controls forgo Audi's typical 2-knob digital setup in favor of a simpler 3-knob setup that actually lets you adjust the fan speed without going through an extra step or two. However, as in other TTs, the TT RS's outdated previous-generation MMI system (see Technology, below) is not particularly user friendly.
We thought Audi might just delete the tiny back seat in the focused TT RS, but it's still there, and we'd still leave it folded down most of the time to take advantage of the hatchback trunk's Corvette-like 24.7-cu-ft maximum cargo capacity (compared to 13.1 cu-ft behind the rear seats).
Our assessment of lesser TTs applies with even greater force to the expensive TT RS: this car is disappointing when it comes to tech, at least by Audi's standards. For example, you can't get full iPod integration unless you pony up for MMI, which is part of the $3,500 Tech package; other Audis let you add iPod integration as a separate, far cheaper option. Also, while the TT RS comes standard with SD-card compatibility, a USB port is absent, so you'll have to adapt if you're used to carrying around a flash drive full of mp3s or connecting your mp3 player via USB.
Additionally, the MMI system offered in the TT RS isn't the latest version, so it has an older, less intuitive menu structure--and it's DVD-based, so its performance lags behind that of the latest hard-drive-based MMI in other models. Another issue with this version of MMI is that the control knob is located on the dashboard rather than on the center console; the latter is a more convenient spot for the driver, and it's increasingly becoming Audi's default.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The TT RS is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-5 that churns out 360 hp and 343 lb-ft of torque. Quattro all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission are standard. If you found our praise for lesser TT motors unduly faint, we're about to make up for it: The TT RS has one of the most engaging engines on the market, serving up serious speed and scintillating sounds--amplified nicely by the sport exhaust--in equal measure. The manual shifter is just as joyous, offering short, precise throws that enhance the TT RS's vibe of exclusivity. There are many desirable drivetrains at this price point, but the TT RS isn't out of its league by any means.
The TT RS's fuel economy is EPA-rated at 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway. That's pretty laudable for a car that's projected to hit 60 mph from rest in 4.1 seconds.
The TT RS comes with standard stability control, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes and six airbags (front, front side, front knee).
Like the rest of the TT family, the TT RS has not been crash tested in the US.
Driving Impressions
The TT RS's suspension is pretty similar to that of the TTS, including the slightly lowered ride and standard 2-mode magnetic dampers. So why are we so much more excited about the way the TT RS drives? The manual transmission has a lot to do with it, as does the distinctive 5-cylinder warble at full throttle. Whereas the regular TT models leave us a bit cold with their paddle shifters and drab 4-cylinder engine notes, the TT RS has a passionate pulse. Of course, the insane grip from the 19-in tires and Quattro all-wheel drive doesn't hurt, either. This is a special car.
Other Cars to Consider
Chevrolet Corvette: The 2-seat Corvette isn't nearly as nimble as the TT RS, but its acceleration is in the same ballpark, and there's nothing like having a big old American V8 under the hood.
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG: Now offered as a coupe as well as a sedan, the C63 has a scintillating V8 of its own, including a bawdy exhaust note that'll put the neighbors on alert whenever you cruise by.
Porsche Boxster S: The new Cayman coupe will be a direct TT RS competitor when it hits the market, but the already-available Boxster S is an intriguing alternative. Unless you're wedded to the idea of a fixed roof, you might be seduced by the Porsche's sublime handling and distinctive engine.
AutoTrader Recommends
We'd want MMI in our TT RS, so that means checking the box for the pricey Tech package. Give us the sport exhaust, too, though we'll pass on the new 2-tone leather.

Rokita Applauds First Lake County Voter Fraud Charges
Contact: Cam Savage
Indianapolis, IN - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita today issued the following statement regarding charges filed by Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter and Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter and indictments issued by a special grand jury. The indictments and the charges are related to allegations of voter fraud in the May 2003 Primary Election in Lake County.
"Over the last six months I have been a vociferous supporter of efforts to root out election fraud in Lake County. The election fraud that occurred in the 1999 and 2003 primary elections must be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
"Today's actions are a good first step in our effort to give government back to the people of Lake County. People who have followed these cases know that these charges and indictments are the tip of the voter fraud iceberg in Lake County."
"I commend Prosecutor Bernard Carter and Attorney General Steve Carter for their work in bringing the first in what I'm sure will be a long line of charges. I also want to thank the members of the grand jury for their perseverance and hard work."

The Permission to Write
The founder of the retreat said an interesting thing, she said that for women the time to write always seems to be later: "I'll make time for the writing once the kids are older, once the kids are in school, once the kids are in college, once I retire..." Many women nodded at this statement. I know one of the reasons I returned to an MFA program is because I knew that if I were part of program (and paying tuition), no one would question me taking time to write.
I've been thinking about this--it seems we give priority to the things and take or make money. Poetry tends not to be one of those things. You can do it on the sly, sending out submissions for little cost, book contests take a little more, but not enough to take a family from Whole Foods to Wal-Mart. And what does it bring in? Occasionally $20 from a journal that pays, sometimes a nice sized grant of a thousand dollars or more. Sometimes a thousand dollar prize for a book or contest, but mostly, it pays in what it gives the poet--satisfaction, fulfillment, balance, pleasure.
In Anne Sexton: A Biography by Diane Middlebrook, I was taken by how things are not as changed as much as we think. This comment comes after Sexton received a Radcliffe fellowship:
"It immediately made what I was doing more respectable to my husband. I wasn't taking so much from my family; I gave more back. You see, you always have a guilty feeling that it's selfish, because everyone says, 'Why isn't it enough to be a wife and mother? ' I still remember my mother-in-law saying, 'Why aren't your husband and children enough—why don't you make it a hobby?' You have this guilt. but if you get this amount of money, then everyone immediately thinks you're respected, an beyond that, you're contributing."
What's odd is think about the other things women do in their lives that they don't worry is "a waste of time" or feel guilty about. Not to be stereotypical, but shopping falls here, even grocery shopping. A mother doesn't drive to the market and think "I feel guilty for having to leave my family to buy spinach and milk." But both poetry and food are nourishing. Even the women who shop for new shoes or something else, usually aren't feeling guilty for going to the mall or the outlet store. But for some reason, to stay in your own home, retreat to your own space, and maybe even--dare I say it?--close the door, is somehow a selfish act.
Leaving the house seems less selfish because you are physically away from the needs/wants/requests/buzz of your family. But maybe it's being in the same house and saying "I'm taking time for myself" that brings on that feeling of guilt. Instead of feeling as you are taking time for yourself, maybe it brings on a feeling of neglect. But still, if women poets were making say $40,000 a year from writing, or even $25,000, I'm not sure this would be questioned. Again, it seems money gives importance to things.
Last night we drove home from the workshop talking about giving ourselves "permission to write." We are all women born between 1960-1970, we consider ourselves feminists, and yet, why do we need "permission to write" and whom are we asking this permission from? --Answer: From ourselves. We are all mothers with children in school. I have the youngest child in school. I have one child, they have two. If I were not a mother, I would not be asking permission of anyone, or myself but because I have a daughter, my freedom to live my life a certain way feels altered. I write "feels" because it may or may not be. I could be (and mostly likely am) placing restrictions on myself that aren't needed or that other mothers wouldn't do. Maybe some mothers can write without guilt and in many ways, I can, but sometimes this fear of "am I being a good mother while being a poet" slips across my desk. Can I do two things well?
And yet through all this, I want my daughter to see me as a person as well—not just a mother—with talents and interests because I don't want her to grow up and in the choice to have a child, have to make a choice to lose her own passions. And I don't want her to feel this guilt that sometimes comes with trying to balance being a mother with the rest of my life. So, I work hard to be the best mother I can be and the best poet I can be. Of course, my job as a mother will always come before my job as a poet, at least in these earlier years. Later in life? I'm not sure how things will work out, but with a young child I'm not ready to be superpoet, but I'm also not ready to zeropoet either.
In the end, I think we all try our best and do what we think is best. And the ones who really want to write will find or create the time to do so. They will get rid of the timewasters in their own life whether it's a long commute, the internet, not cleaning the house to perfection but good-enough, letting the garden have a few extra weeds this year, staying up a little later, waking up a little earlier. If a woman wants to write, she will find the time between colicky babies and college, the time is there, and if we want it, it's ours.

Thank you for this.ReplyDelete
You're welcome and thanks for the note. I appreciate it.
I think this is a particular instance of a much wider problem, which is that women have to "give themselves permission" for virtually anything they do that is just for themselves. Even when it really is just a hobby, there's a tendency for other people to judge the time taken for it more harshly than they would, say, a husband's weekly golf game.ReplyDelete
And this in turn is just a symptom of a culture-wide illness: the idea that women must always put themselves and their own needs after everyone else. The worst non-sexual* insult that can be flung at any woman is that she's "selfish". Until we, collectively, start insisting that taking care of ourselves (both physically and mentally) is NOT selfish but healthy and normal, and making it stick, we will continue to have this problem.
* "Ugly", "fat", and other appearance-based insults are still essentially sexual in nature, because they carry the implication of "sexually unattractive". The only other serious contender in the non-sexual category is "bitch", and that one frequently carries the secondary connotation of selfishness -- a woman who isn't agreeable and pliable enough to the demands of those around her is immediately labeled a bitch.
Thanks for your thoughtful post. I agree.
I've been thinking about my post and in talking to my friends who don't have kids, I've found this idea of guilt for writing, esp. if they are just starting out or not making X amount of dollars, isn't just limited to mothers. It seems that sometimes when artists (both men and women) "follow their bliss" /passion, it does have this self-indulgent feel to it.
Yes, I agree is that this is from a larger issue of women putting or feeling as if they have to put others first and we live in a society where art (or artists) are not appreciated. (Again, I wonder about $$ here as the arts are the first to be cut in a school and sports--the $ makers--always manage to stay.)
I'd like to look further into this and talk with all women to see what they feel guilty about and if they feel they need to ask "permission" from others or themselves to write.
Anyway, this is a much greater topic to be explored.
thanks for your note.

At a sidewalk cafe in Baltimore, Maryland. With friends from our Camera Club, we were there to photograph the Tall Ships.
As I was processing this photo, I added some structure using Nik Viveza 2, and when I looked again, there was a creepy reflection in the foremost glass--near the menu. Do you see a resemblance to Charles Laughton? Some do...others cannot find it!

This count's for you! Everyone, from the average person who just likes to watch a few birds in the yard to the hard-core birdwatcher, is invited to spend as little as 15 minutes watching birds any time from Feb. 15-18. Keep a list, register and submit your data online at www.birdsource.org/gbbc, and you will become a citizen scientist, helping to census our winter bird populations.
In addition, you may help keep Savannah on the map. Ogeechee Audubon members work hard during the four days of the count to tally as many species as possible in our area, and since 2005, we have gotten on the top 10 list of "Localities Reporting the Most Species."
You can also use the four days of the count as an opportunity to sharpen your bird identification skills.
The Great Backyard Bird Count web site offers tips for challenging species.
Is it a house or a purple finch? Hairy or downy woodpecker? Cooper's or sharp-shinned hawk?
I was at my parents' house doing play-by-play commentary for the early morning bird extravaganza - "Bluebird at the mealworm dish; male oriole in the yew tree; three goldfinches on the condo."
I glanced at the wire above the deck just in time to see a pine warbler land next to an American goldfinch.
"Thanks for posing for a clinic," I told them as I snapped a few pictures.
As the birds sat side by side, I could compare the thin, pointy beak of the warbler with the broader, conical beak of the finch.
I noted two white wing bars on the pine warbler while the goldfinch had a dark black wing that contrasted strongly with its winter plumage tan body. The adult male pine warbler was much yellower than the winter plumage goldfinch.
After this brief study break, I continued my countdown - "Carolina wren eating mealworms, white-breasted nuthatch on the tree trunk, red-bellied woodpecker at the sunflower feeder."
Tearing myself away from the feeder bird show, I headed for my car, only to be distracted by movement in another type of bird food - an American holly tree full of bright red berries.
I made a few "pishing" noises and several yellow-rumped warblers hopped into view.
A Carolina chickadee emerged from a bush and began fussing at me with its nasal "chick-a-dee-dee-dee." Glancing back at the holly, I caught a glimpse of bright yellow - the throat of a handsome yellow-throated warbler.
A good way to add to your bird list, after you have tallied your feeder birds, is to leave the house and wander the yard or the neighborhood, paying particular attention to any trees or bushes with berries, seeds or nuts.
Listen for the telltale "meow" of the gray catbird or the soft "mew" of a yellow-bellied sapsucker. If you happen to live near any sort of water, be it pond, lagoon or tidal creek, look for ducks, herons, egrets or perhaps a belted kingfisher hovering above the water.
Once in a while, our efforts are rewarded with the sight of something unexpected or downright rare. One group birding at Fort Pulaski recently found a western kingbird hawking for insects above the grassy field near the Fort.
Some species have become scarce or hard to find, including American woodcock, northern bobwhite, wild turkey and red-headed woodpecker.
If you see any of these during the four days of the count, or any hummingbird, be sure to submit your data or contact Wild Birds Unlimited at 912-961-3455, and we will submit the data for you.
If you are ready to get out into the field, Ogeechee Audubon will have teams birding at a variety of locations Feb. 16. For more info, contact me at email@example.com. Happy counting!
Bird enthusiast Diana Churchill can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

For thousands of users, MOSIX has been a reliable, fast
and cost-efficient clustering platform with users in life sciences, finance,
industry, high-tech, research and government environments. The goal of
openMosix is to give to these users continued support and an up-to-date fully
GPLv2 OpenSource platform.

openMosix began as the last verifiable GPL version of MOSIX. All openMosix extensions are under the full
GPLv2 license, the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. The openMosix Copyright is held by Moshe
openMosix is a Linux kernel extension for single-system image clustering.
openMosix is perfectly scalable and adaptive.
Once you have installed openMosix, the nodes in the cluster start
talking to one another and the cluster adapts itself to the workload.
There is no need to program applications specifically for openMosix. Since all openMosix extensions are inside
the kernel, every application automatically and transparently benefits from the
distributed computing concept of openMosix.
The cluster behaves much as does a SMP, but this solution scales to well
over a thousand nodes which can themselves be SMPs.
OpenSource is more than just free access to
software source code. The basic idea behind open source is very simple: When programmers can read, redistribute, and modify the source
code for a piece of software, the software evolves. People improve it, people
adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used
to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing.

contributor to the Linux tree. Moshe

research, and university laboratories.
The openMosix project is hosted on SourceForge.net which provides
collaborative development web tools for the project. Downloads, documentation, and additional information are

flexible, and scaleable Cluster Computing System for Linux. MOSIX was a GPL OpenSource project until

Well, here we are -– it's Tuesday, and if you've been following along with us here at the Inside BlackBerry® Blog lately, you'll know that it's Top 3 Tuesday! This week we're taking a look at my top three tips for BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™):
1. Communicate: With BBM you can send messages up to 2,000 characters long, and best of all, you can see when users on the other end are interacting with you. There's a simple yet wonderful thing that happens in BBM. You can see when your message has been delivered (signified by a "D" to the left of the message) and when it's been read (signified by an "R"). You can also see when the user on the other end is typing, so you're not left hanging!
2. Share: With BBM, you can quickly and efficiently transfer pictures, files and voice notes from your BlackBerry smartphone to your contacts — it turns your moment into their moment. To send the file, all you have to do is open the file, hit the "menu" button on your BlackBerry smartphone, select "send", select "BBM Contact", then choose who you want to send it to. So simple! I use this all the time with my friends and family to share photos, and I also send voice notes when I want to add that personal touch to a conversation. Also, with BBM Connected apps, you can share what you're doing in the app with your BBM contacts. Want to discuss the score of a sporting event you're following, or share your app suggestions with someone you know? With BBM Connected, your apps become more social. Check out Alex's blog post on his top 6 BBM Connected apps!
3. Organize: BBM has a built-in feature below your contacts list called BBM Groups. This is a great way to gather groups of BBM users and organize events, clubs and gatherings. Planning a surprise party for someone? Gather everyone (except that certain individual of course) into a BBM Group and share a central calendar so everyone can see key dates. You can create group lists so people can track who's in charge of bringing what, and you can also share pictures, files and hold a group chat so that everyone can be on the same page. I've used this on a few occasions and the plan has always gone off without a hitch!
There you have it — my top three tips for using BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). Do you use BBM in a unique way? Share it with us in the comments below.

Aurora shooting victim featured pre-Super Bowl on CBS
Sunday's pregame coverage on CBS includes features about players, coaching rivalries, the issue of football injuries and more. Close to home, watch for a story about a resilient young man from Gateway High School who was at the movie theater when a killer opened fired last July.
Rising senior Zack Golditch was among the wounded on July 20, 2012. The piece by producer Pete Radovich observes, "Shot through the neck, the 6-foot-5, 260 pound, 17-year-old became a symbol of strength and recovery as he fought his way back onto the football field." The story is familiar to locals but may be news to the Super Bowl millions.

Madonna found a saucy way to raise money for victims of superstorm Sandy by baring her butt onstage as she asked for donations during her show in New York City this week.
The pop superstar went to visit relief workers at Far Rockaway in Queens on Monday to publicize aid efforts in the hours before she took to the stage for her MDNA show at Madison Square Garden.
Madonna opened up about her experience at Rockaway Beach during the concert and she paid tribute to all those who have stepped up to help in the aftermath of the storm.
She told the audience, "We… have to call attention to the fact that New York has been devastated by a hurricane and I think that people really underestimate the damage that has been done. The homes, the jobs, the livelihoods that have been lost… There are many wonderful people, some of them here tonight, who have started amazing initiatives and have been giving help to people who have nowhere to live, who have no food and nowhere to sleep.
"A big thank you to all these people… I went down to Rockaway Beach yesterday with my children and we saw what was going on down there and we saw the destruction and it was really sad but we also saw amazing acts of humanity, people working hard, handing out food, blankets, giving love… I wanna give a big thanks to those people too. We owe them a lot. New York owes them a lot."
She also took off her top to reveal the words 'No fear' scrawled on her back and pulled down her trousers, telling the audience "(I am) showing (my) naked a** for Hurricane Sandy victims" and encouraging them to throw cash donations at the stage.
She added, "If you are going to look at the crack of my a**, you better raise some cash."

Honey Bubble
- Expired
- Old Fourth Ward
- Coffee & Tea, Bubble Tea
Honey Bubble keeps it real with legit fresh milk (organic soy, too) and good ingredients—a rarity among bubble tea shops, who often turn to artificial flavor concentrates and astronaut-worthy powdered milk instead.Like love-struck school kids biking past our true love's house over and over, we've been oh-so-casually cruising back and forth past 798 Ponce for months now. Any day now, we thought while conspicuously angling for a glance inside, and Old Fourth Ward would get its very own taste of that delicious, downright addictive bubble tea. Well, adventurous sirs and madames, it's time to bust out the bubbly, 'cause we have some sweet news: intowners now have a bubble tea joint to call their own, no Buford Highway trekking required.
If you weren't hanging out in Taiwan circa '88, you might be asking yourself: self, what is this bubble tea of which they speak? The long and short: a sweet, creamy, tea-based elixir containing floating tapioca pearls, which make for a delightfully curious sipping (and chewing) experience through those comically oversized straws. Since becoming a Huge Thing in the '80s and spreading westward to the U.S. shortly thereafter, boba cafes (and their devout followers) have sprung up left and right in big cities. This, though, ain't just any ol' boba cafe, folks. Honey Bubble keeps it real with legit fresh milk (organic soy, too), teas brewed fresh each day and good ingredients—a rarity among bubble tea shops, who often turn to artificial flavor concentrates and astronaut-worthy powdered milk instead. Here, they're mixing up the standby flavors like taro, lychee, lavender and honeydew, but also offering a few options more reminiscent of Western desserts—salted caramel, for example. Factor in the colorful macarons from Alon's and the sweet treats from Highland Bakery, and you've got all the fixins for one heck of a sweet tea party.
And if you haven't yet acquired an affinity for tapioca, Honey Bubble has puh-lenty of other beverages to keep you busy: flakey ice slushies, fine loose teas, a rotating fair-trade coffee and a few unique options (see: the Brooklyn egg cream, a chocolate drink that involves neither eggs nor cream but is quite tasty). Add to that the chilled-out, lounge-y atmosphere, plentiful wifi, and—wait for it—ample free parking, and we're about ready to unofficially declare Honey Bubble our second office. (We get dibs on the big couch underneath the Bruce Lee movies.)
Menu Highlights:
Milk Bubble Tea, $ 4 (Medium) - $5 (Large)
Snowcap Slushies, $ 4 (Medium) - $5 (Large)
Brooklyn Egg Cream, $4
Bustelo Espresso Coffee, $3
Organic Fair-Trade Coffee, $3.50 (Medium) - $4.25

World Snow Day 2018 Aftermovie
The 8th edition of World Snow Day say 516 events in 46 countries. With over 380'000 participants world wide, it is fair to say World Snow Day 2018 was a success.
World Snow Day:
World Snow Day is the second phase of the 'Bring Children to the Snow' campaign. The first phase of the campaign, called SnowKidz, was launched in 2009. The SnowKidz project aims to encourage FIS Member National Ski Associations to promote snow sports within their country. Meanwhile, World Snow Day looks beyond the FIS membership to the wider snow sports community. It seeks to motivate children aged from 4-14 by encouraging all stakeholders to celebrate all things snow around the world simultaneously. In short, World Snow Day is the biggest day on snow all year. And World Snow Day is not a one-off event but is planned to be staged annually for years to come.
World Snow Day website:
SnowKidz Website:
Bring Children to the Snow Website
FIS explantation:
As the governing body of international skiing and snowboarding, FIS manages the Olympic disciplines of Alpine Skiing, Cross-Country Skiing, Ski Jumping, Nordic Combined, Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding, including setting the international competition rules. Through its 115 member nations, more than 6'500 FIS ski and snowboard competitions are staged annually. Specific initiatives are undertaken by FIS to promote snow activities as a healthy leisure recreation, notably for the young.

Man builds smartphone dock into arm
Bionic handset
You'd think being born without a forearm would be limiting for a smartphone user.
Not for catering manager Trevor Prideaux, who flipped his handicap on its head and turned his prosthetic limb into a dock for his Nokia C7, The Telegraph reports.
Source: SWNS
Prideaux came up with the idea after playing around on an iPhone, but realised he would struggle one-handed and reached out to Apple for help with the custom prosthetic.
With the company apparently unwilling to lend a hand, Prideaux turned to Nokia who provided sample casing. Techheads at the Exeter Mobility Centre did the rest, creating a fibre glass limb with a cradle for the C7.
Source: SWNS
Now the 50-year-old from Somerset can use his smartphone hassle-free. It might be expensive for an upgrade, but that's one hell of a hands-free kit. ®
