DURHAM � North Carolina State overcame a four-run deficit to defeat Duke 7-6 in 10 innings in Atlantic Coast Conference baseball Friday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon struck out 15 batters and was the winning pitcher by working the first nine innings. Rodon (8-2), a sophomore, was one strikeout shy of his career high.
N.C. State (41-13 overall, 18-10) remains in contention for first place in the Atlantic Division, though it must win in today�s regular-season finale and receive a favorable result in the Clemson / Florida State game. The starting time in Durham has been moved up to noon because of the chance of inclement weather.
Duke (26-28, 9-20), which is guaranteed a losing record, led 6-3 through five innings. The Blue Devils had the potential winning run on base in the 10th inning before Grant Sasser secured the last out.
Bryan Adametz, who singled and scored the winning run, was 3-for-5. Grant Clyde, Jake Armstrong and Brett Austin all had two hits for the Wolfpack. Logan Ratledge drove in the tying run in the eighth inning.
Andrew Istler (3-6) took the loss. Duke�s Jordan Betts hit a two-run double in the third inning

More than half of IT professionals accept the first salary offer they receive from a new employer, though most organizations are ready and willing to negotiate, according to new data from Dice.
Making a reasonable counteroffer shouldn't cost you anything more than perhaps a bout of anxiety if you're not the haggling type. Forgoing negotiations entirely, however, could cost you thousands of dollars and valuable benefits -- as can not knowing your market value or accepting bad advice from recruiters who care more about their commissions than your financial well-being.
In a survey of 838 hiring managers and recruiters throughout the United States, Dice found that around 54 percent of new IT hires accept the first salary offer. However, Dice also found that 33 percent of hiring pros would up the ante on a frequent or very frequent basis. Another 49 percent said they increased offers "occasionally." Seventeen percent said they would rarely or very rarely negotiate, and just 1 percent said they'd never budge.
Just how much more you can get if you stand your ground varies, depending on such factors as the size and location of the company, the position, and your experience and skills. (Hint: Cloud, mobile, and business intelligence skills are in high demand.) The Dice survey found that around 40 percent of employers tagged 5 percent as the average amount they'd be willing to add to their initial offer. Thus, with the national average salary for technology professionals pegged at $85,619, "not haggling costs [new employees] $4,300 on average," according to Dice senior VP Tom Silver.
Silver cited other costs to employees as well: "Performance pay, like bonuses, is usually rewarded as a percentage of salaries, not to mention, the compounding effects over a long career."
Knowing your value in the market can help tremendously when negotiating for a new salary, a point expressed by Philadelphia-based systems admin Mark Marra in a blog post about his recent experiences haggling over compensation with a prospective employer through a pushy recruiter:
"You need to use sites like glassdoor.com and salary.com to know what your market value is for your area. Salaries in NYC and San Francisco will be significantly higher than those in Philadelphia or Boston. ... Make sure you're comparing apples to apples," Marra advised. "You also need to make sure you're comparing your total compensation. Benefits can add ten thousand dollars or more to your overall package when you count retirement and insurance contributions, tuition reimbursement, training and certification reimbursement, etc. Can you put a value of work from home or flex hours? Try. Don't say yes or no to a number until you have the total picture.
Thanks to his pre-negotiation research, Marra discovered that this prospective employer was offering him a salary that was $30,000 below his market value. When he pushed back, the company upped the offer by $5,000, plus a week's vacation and a reserved indoor parking space. When he turned that offer down, the company threw in another $6,000 plus two performance reviews for the first year, which may have resulted in additional raises. Still he refused. "I still passed. We were too far apart," Marra wrote.
All the while, he said the recruiter kept pressuring him to accept each offer. "[He] kept telling me how big of a mistake I was making. The reality is that he was watching his commission walk away and was trying to do something about it. He didn't care that the offer was still about $20,000 short of being fair," Marra wrote. "This is how you need to handle negotiations. Trust your gut. Don't trust your recruiter."
Ultimately, Marra landed a new job as a senior architect at a consulting firm. "It's a much better situation than what I turned down," he wrote. "It pays to be patient."

Tendai Chatara snared five wickets as Zimbabwe celebrated an historic 24-run victory over Pakistan to draw the Test series in Harare.
Chasing 106 runs for victory and with five wickets in hand on the final day, the tourists were relying on Misbah-ul-Haq to carry them home and he did not disappoint with a battling half-century.
However, Chatara stole the limelight with a superb show of bowling to help dismiss Pakistan for 239 shortly after lunch as Zimbabwe wrapped up a first Test victory over an established full-member nation since beating India in 2001.
Resuming on 158 for five, Misbah carried Pakistan's hopes of wrapping up a 2-0 series win and his runs certainly kept them afloat.
But Zimbabwe could also smell victory and they made an impact just four overs in on Saturday morning with Chatara trapping Adnan Akmal lbw for 20, with the wicketkeeper adding just three runs to his overnight score.
Misbah, who began the day on 26, soon got the scoreboard moving with the help of Abdur Rehman, who struck a couple of boundaries to keep Zimbabwe on their toes.
However, Rehman's stay was ended by Tinashe Panyangara on 12, the batsman edging to wicketkeeper Richmond Mutumbami.
Misbah's response was to bring up his half-century with a reverse-sweep to the boundary, but new partner Saeed Ajmal failed to follow his example and fell for two to the bowling of Chatara.
Pakistan were 217 for eight at lunch, still 47 runs short, but Misbah came out blazing after the interval and smashed four boundaries in two overs in a bid to get his team over the line.
However, Zimbabwe's need for victory seemed greater and Chatara accounted for the wickets of Junaid Khan and Rahat Ali, who was run out, within the space of three balls to spark celebrations.
Chatara finished with second-innings figures of five for 61 while Misbah was the last man standing for Pakistan on 79.
Chatara bowls Zimbabwe to victory

Caresia Bandage Liners simplify complex multi-layered bandaging protocols by providing an alternative to foam liners, stockinette, and gauze. Caresia garments are designed for the active phase of therapy and are manufactured to maximize therapeutic results. Patients simply donn the Caresia then wrap the recommended series of bandage layers on top of the bandage liner.
Caresia simplifies your active phase protocols down to two steps: Put on your Caresia. Wrap over it with 2 or more short stretch bandages. That's it. Not only that, but Caresia could help you save hours of time each week compared to traditional short-stretch bandaging as well!
After bandages have been applied, Caresia's specially designed foam channels apply directional or bidirectional compression to the tissues while unique foam particles nestle into tissue to create localized tissue stretch and pressure differential. This tissue stretch opens the initial lymphatic gaps to encourage re-absorbtion of interstitial fluids and particles. This means that Caresia helps move fluid where it needs to go, no matter where you go!
Everyone living with lymphedema is unique, that's why Caresia bandage liners are available in over 30 styles and sizes of upper and lower extremity garments. Whether your swelling is limited to your hand, or you need full leg coverage, Caresia has you covered.
Since your Caresia makes taking care of lymphedema easy, we thought it should be just as easy to take care of your Caresia - that's why every Caresia is machine wash and machine dry. We even suggest washing your Caresia with a normal load of laundry! For more washing or care instructions, please refer to your Caresia user guide.

Russians to take Centre Stage at
A clash between two of Rugby League's oldest clubs will provide the backdrop for the Australian debut of two players from one of the Code's newest playing nations.
This Saturday at Henson Park, where foundation clubs Newtown and Balmain meet in a Premier League trial, Russian hopefuls Sergey Dobrynine and Vladimir Trofimov will take their first steps towards a playing future in the NRL.
The Moscow Dynamo team mates have been named as centre partners in the Tigers side, but coach Peter Camroux insists they will form a left side centre/wing combination.
Trofimov, a junior sprint champion in his homeland, is described by Camroux as "an absolute flying machine". And after scoring three tries for the Bears during the Cougar World Sevens, Dobrynine has since impressed at training.
Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens set tongues wagging when he offered the minnows a chance to extend their Australian sojourn by trialing with the club over the pre season.
For the past week, they've bunkered down with 4 other Tigers cubs at a house in Drummoyne, where Camroux says "social accommodation" is not short lived.
And while the language barrier has inevitably brought it's challenges - as well as an interpreter to the pair's first training session - Dobrynine and Trofimov have experienced no problems keeping up on the field so far.
"They're doing it a bit tough communicating, but both are fit, strong guys," Camroux said. "All they really want to do is learn and have a go."
"Neither have had a real good coach before, so we're just looking to polish them up on the finer points of the game."
The Tigers plan to give their Russian hopefuls the best possible chance of snaring a contract by playing them in each of the team's three trials.
Camroux said Sheens was hopeful that the bold experiment would succeed, but more will be known after Saturday's match.
"The whole part of their games will probably need to be improved, but in saying that we haven't seen them play yet," he said.
The appearance of Trofimov and Dobrynine at Henson Park will no doubt revive memories of another novel Rugby League gamble that took place at the same ground over two decades ago.
In 1977, NFL star Manfred Moore made his league debut for Newtown amidst a swarm of intrigue and publicity. After scoring a try in his first outing, the Oakland Raiders Superbowl XI champ went on to make four further appearances for the Jets.

The Divergence Problem and the Failure of Tree Rings for Reconstructing Past Climate
Guest Commentary
Craig Loehle, PhD
National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, Inc. (NCASI)
Tree rings are widely used for reconstructing climate and past climates are critical for putting the current climate (including global temperatures) into the proper perspective. Is current warming unusual? Only a comparison to the past can tell.
To help gain a better understanding of the past and how global temperatures may have behaved, researchers frequently try to extract climate information that may be stored in the annual growth ring of trees. The standard practice is to calibrate annual tree ring width (and/or wood density) to the temperature under which the trees were growing using a linear model based on recent (e.g., 20th Century) data, and then interpret past rings widths as indicators of temperature. A linear model is one in which a unit change in temperature produces a corresponding unit change in the tree ring attributes—and a linear model assumes that this relationship applies over the entire range of temperatures.
In a recent research paper (Loehle, 2008), I show that if this linear model is mis-specified (i.e., a linear growth response is assumed but in reality the growth response is non-linear), even a model that appears to work well during the "training" (or "calibration") period—the time during which both temperature and tree rings are available—may fail miserably during the reconstruction period—the time in the past when only tree rings or available, that is, prior to direct temperature measurements.
For example, Figure 1 shows a hypothetical non-linear growth response curve. On the left-hand side of the curve, as temperature increases, tree ring width also increases, but as temperatures continue to rise and the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, the tree-ring width begins to decline. This could be the result of the physiological response of that particular tree species, or to the influence of other environmental variables (for example, moisture could become limiting at higher temperatures).
Figure 1. Hypothetical non-linear growth curve that shows a changing tree-ring width response to temperature changes (from Loehle, 2008).
If a temperature/tree-ring model is built only during a period of time when the observed temperatures rarely exceeded the threshold temperatures, and thus a linear model is assumed and produces a good fit, the model makes a mess of things when reconstructing the temperature during a time when the true temperature exceeded the threshold temperature. Figure 2 demonstrates this. In this example, the true temperature (the solid black line) is poorly reconstructed (dotted line) from a linear model built when observed temperatures were below the threshold. In fact, the entire character of the true temperature change is misrepresented and warm periods actually are reconstructed as cool periods.
Figure 2. Reconstructed temperature (arbitrary scale) (dotted line) vs. actual (solid line) using a linear approximation to the quadratic form shown in Figure 1. Temperatures larger than the threshold become inverted. Time scale can either be forward, showing divergence, or back in time showing failure to detect past warm periods (from Loehle, 2008).
This result indicates why one can not use tree rings for any periods warmer than the calibration period—a situation which is difficult to know a priori. The same issue could affect certain other types of temperature proxies (besides tree rings) as well.
For a much more detailed description of this "divergence" problem in tree-ring reconstructions of past climate, I invite you the read the full version of my paper.
Climatic Change
DOI 10.1007/s10584-008-9488-8
Craig Loehle, PhD
National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, Inc. (NCASI)
Abstract: Tree rings provide a primary data source for reconstructing past climates, particularly over the past 1000 years. However, divergence has been observed in twentieth century reconstructions. Divergence occurs when trees show a positive response to warming in the calibration period but a lesser or even negative response in recent decades. The mathematical implications of divergence for reconstructing climate are explored in this study. Divergence results either because of some unique environmental factor in recent decades, because trees reach an asymptotic maximum growth rate at some temperature, or because higher temperatures reduce tree growth. If trees show a nonlinear growth response, the result is to potentially truncate any historical temperatures higher than those in the calibration period, as well as to reduce the mean and range of reconstructed values compared to actual. This produces the divergence effect. This creates a cold bias in the reconstructed record and makes it impossible to make any statements about how warm recent decades are compared to historical periods. Some suggestions are made to overcome these problems.

BOSTON — Instead of crying over their breakfasts all morning after last night's 6-1 shellacking by Detroit, the Bruins hit the Ristuccia Arena ice for practice today.
Mark Recchi took the morning off probably for maintenance for a personal reason, according to head coach Claude Julien.
Daniel Paille and Zach Hamill both skated in gold sweaters alongside Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand, with Hamill taking some shifts on the wing. Tyler Seguin skated with Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder as the center. The other two lines stayed the same.
All seven defensemen and the two goaltenders skated, with Tuukka Rask reverting to his old mask.
One drill was full-ice 1-on-1s. An interesting match-up was Adam McQuaid vs. Johnny Boychuk, two players battling to be regulars in the Boston top four.

Conservative media dismiss Gitmo abuse as "stressful," ignore gruesome first-hand accounts
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN & GABE WILDAU
In recent weeks, conservatives in the media have described allegations of detainee abuse at the Pentagon's detention facility in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as merely "stressful," "unpleasant," and "nothing to be ashamed of," among other harmless-sounding characterizations. But first-hand accounts by FBI agents and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) of severe prisoner abuse paint a much grimmer picture of detainee treatment at Guantánamo.
What conservatives say about Gitmo
Some conservative commentators cited passages from an article in the June 20 issue of Time magazine, which detailed the interrogation of the so-called "20th hijacker," Al Qaeda operative Mohammed al-Qahtani:
- National Review editor Rich Lowry insisted in his June 14 syndicated column that the "U.S. has nothing to be ashamed of" at Guantánamo. Lowry listed the interrogation methods reportedly used on al-Qahtani, according to Time: He was "deprived of sleep," "forced to watch a puppet show satirizing his involvement with al Qaeda," "made to stand for the national anthem," "made briefly to stand naked and occasionally told to bark like a dog." Lowry concluded, "This was as bad as it got at Gitmo."
- Radio talk show host Michael Smerconish stated: "I've read the Time magazine piece. Where is the abuse? We shaved the guy's beard. We played Christina Aguilera music and we pinned 9-11 victim photos to his lapel. That's abuse?" [MSNBC's Hardball With Chris Matthews, 6/15/05]
- A Washington Times editorial also relied purely on the Time account to describe the treatment of Guantánamo detainees as merely "unpleasant": "Time reports that interrogators did a number of unpleasant things to al Qahtani to get him to talk. These included shaving his beard, stripping him naked, ordering him to bark like a dog, depriving him of sleep -- to the music of Christina Aguilera, no less -- and violating his 'personal space' with a vulgar female interrogator." [6/14/05]
Others offered more sweeping, non-specific judgments:
- Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer dismissed allegations of abuse at Guantánamo as "rumor." [The Washington Post, 6/3/05]
- Weekly Standard executive editor and Fox News contributor Fred Barnes said that "there have been FBI reports of rough treatment [at Guantánamo]. But nothing I would consider torture." [Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, 6/15/05]
- Fox News host Sean Hannity claimed that "we didn't hurt anybody" at Guantánamo. [Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, 5/31/05]
- Fox News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that Guantánamo abuse amounted to "unbuttoning blouses, women interrogators, things like that, but no touching or anything like that." He concluded: "So what are we talking about here? Some minor cases of abuse, that's what." [Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, 6/7/05]
- Downplaying criticism of Guantánamo by the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC), a June 15 Wall Street Journal editorial [subscription required] stated: "Leaked ICRC reports have described conditions at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as 'tantamount to torture' because indefinite detention is stressful." In fact, in the leaked report, ICRC documented other, more disturbing aspects of detainee treatment at Guantánamo as well, as detailed below.
What the evidence shows about Gitmo
These claims ignore mounting evidence of severe mistreatment of detainees at Guantánamo. Those who purported to summarize the treatment of al-Qahtani that Time reported conveniently omitted the most gruesome treatment it described. For example: "The log notes he [al-Qahtani] is given 3 1/2 bags of IV fluid. He starts to moan and asks again to be allowed to relieve himself. Yes, but first he must answer questions." Time also made clear that the record it obtained of Qahtani's treatment "is ... plainly incomplete: there are numerous gaps in the notes about what is said and what is happening in the interrogation booth." One such gap involves the use of dogs: "The log reveals that a dog is present, but no details are given beyond a hazy reference to a disagreement between the military police and the dog handler." It is clear, however, that al-Qahtani's treatment was sufficiently harsh to induce psychological effects: "The FBI letter said al-Qahtani had been 'subjected to intense isolation for over three months' and 'was evidencing behavior consistent with extreme psychological trauma (talking to non existent people, reporting hearing voices, crouching in a cell covered with a sheet for hours on end).' "
More importantly, the Time article is only the latest piece of evidence of how Guantánamo detainees have been treated.
A series of FBI emails, which a court ordered the government to release in December 2004 in response to lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups under the Freedom of Information Act, document the abuse. The documents are all available on the ACLU website. One FBI email described abuse in graphic terms:
On a couple of occassions [sic], I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food, or water. Most times they had urinated or defacated [sic] on themselves and had been left there for 18, 24 hours or more. On one occassion [sic], the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. When I asked the [military police guards] what was going on, I was told that interrogators from the day prior had ordered this treatment, and the detainee was not to be moved. On another occassion [sic], the A/C had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room probably well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his own hair out throughout the night.
Another FBI email specifically referred to the use of "torture techniques" by Department of Defense interrogators who allegedly impersonated "Supervisory Special Agents of the FBI" while questioning a detainee at Guantánamo. While the FBI redacted the description of the interrogator's actions, the author asserted that these tactics "produced no intelligence of a threat neutralization nature" and complained that if the detainee were "ever released or his story made public in any way ... the FBI will be left holding the bag before the public."
A third FBI document, a letter written by deputy assistant FBI director for counterterrorism T.J. Harrington, urged the Pentagon to investigate several disturbing incidents that his agents had witnessed at Guantánamo, including the following:
The detainee was shackled and his hands were cuffed to his waist. [REDACTED] observed [REDACTED] apparently whispering in the detainee's ear and caressing and applying lotion to his arms (this was during Ramadan when physical contact with a woman would have been particularly offensive to a Moslem male.) On more than one occasion the detainee appeared to be grimacing in pain and [REDACTED] hands appeared to be making some contact with the detainee. Although [REDACTED] could not see her hands at all times. He saw them moving toward the detainee's lap. He also observed the detainee pulling away and against the restraints. Subsequently, the marine who previously taped the curtain and had been in the interrogation room with [REDACTED] during the interrogation re-entered the observation room. [REDACTED] asked what had happened to cause the detainee to grimace in pain. The marine said [REDACTED] had grabbed the detainee's thumbs and bent them backwards and indicated that she also grabbed his genitals. The marine also implied that her treatment of the detainee was less harsh than her treatment of others by indicating that he had seen her treatment of other detainees result in detainees curling into a fetal position on the floor and crying in pain.
The same letter contained a description of another detainee who had reportedly been "subjected to intense isolation for longer than three months ... in a cell that was always flooded with light." The Time article has now revealed that the detainee whose name was redacted in this email was al-Qahtani:
In September or October of 2002, FBI agents observed that a canine was used in an aggressive manner to intimidate detainee [REDACTED} and, in November 2002, FBI agents observed Detainee [REDACTED] after he had been subjected to intense isolation for over three months. During that time period, [REDACTED] was totally isolated (with the exception of occasional interrogations) in a cell that was always flooded with light. By late November, the detainee was evidencing behavior consistent with extreme psychological trauma (talking to non-existent people, reporting hearing voices, crouching in a corner of the cell covered with a sheet for hours on end).
Finally, the letter describes an incident in which a detainee was "gagged with duct tape that covered much of his head." This phrase is redacted in the version of the letter posted on the ACLU's website, but CNN quoted it in a December 8, 2004, article, and Newsweek paraphrased it a January 5 online report. CNN reported that "[a] contractor observing the detainee's interrogation told the FBI agent the detainee 'had been chanting the Koran and would not stop.' "
Spurred by the release of these documents, the U.S. Southern Command is conducting an investigation into abuse at Guantánamo, though lawmakers, human rights groups, and former President Jimmy Carter have called for an independent investigation.
The ICRC has also described prisoner abuse at Guantánamo. Contrary to the Journal's claim quoted above, "indefinite detention" alone was not the basis for the ICRC's use of the phrase "tantamount to torture." The New York Times, which first obtained a memo that summarizes the confidential report of the ICRC, reported that the Red Cross delegation cited the use of "temperature extremes, persistent noise, and 'some beatings.' "
Though their accounts have not been confirmed, numerous detainees have also complained of severe abuse at Guantánamo. For example, One detainee "alleges that U.S. military guards jumped on his head until he had a stroke that paralyzed his face, nearly drowned him in a toilet and later broke several of his fingers" [The Washington Post, 4/14/05]. Lawyers for this detainee have sued the Defense and Justice departments to force them to the release of a video recording of this treatment that they believe the government has. The detainee is one of six detainees who are suing these departments to obtain information on alleged torture.

No one talks about it, but everyone goes through it: Most couples experience a radical decline in the frequency and quality of their sex life during their first few years with kids. But, where there is no sex, or where there is sex that is desperately asked for and grudgingly given, a marriage can be reduced to a dull domestic partnership. Without sex and real intimacy, you can feel, as Ethan Hawke put it in the movie Before Sunset, "like you are running a small nursery with someone you used to date."
The three of us are average women with normal, healthy sexual appetites. Before we became moms, we enjoyed sex. We were earnest students of the "how to drive your man wild" type articles in Cosmopolitan. We wanted sex almost as much as our husbands did, and were usually happy to oblige even when we didn't. But as mothers of small children, sex became less and less of a priority for us. Even after we had celebrated our babies' first birthdays, sex, once a weekly affair, felt like a monthly chore, right up there with rearranging our sock drawers. We gave so much to our kids that there was nothing left to give to our husbands. It wasn't deliberate. It just happened. We still think our husbands are damned attractive men, but we don't want to rip their clothes off at the end of a long day. Since becoming mothers, not one of us has ever said to our husband: "Darling, the kids wore me out today. What I really need is for you to shag me senseless this evening..."
Our husbands were left behind, still wanting that emotional and physical connection with us and feeling deeply hurt by our repeated rejections. Only as we began working on our book [Babyproofing Your Marriage, out February 2007] and talking to other guys who weren't our husbands (i.e., those without a stake in the outcome of the discussion), did we realize that this festering lack of intimacy was at the root of much of the discord in our marriages.
Two of our friends pretty much summed up the different male and female points of view on sex in separate conversations with us. George, married 12 years with two kids, had this to say: "Since we had kids, my wife and I have sex about once every three months, and even then it feels like she's doing me a favor. I've tried to tell her so many times how much this is hurting me, but she always turns it around and makes it sound like I'm some kind of hound dog. I'm not a dog! I'm a normal guy. I do want and need sex with her. Why is that so terrible? I've pretty much given up.
I don't want to cheat on her, but I sometimes wonder, if I had the chance, what would I do?"
Our friend Alicia, married eight years with two kids, shared her take: "The truth is, I couldn't care less about sex these days. I don't feel sexy, I feel fat. I don't want sex—I'm too damn tired. Spending the day with young children is about the least sexy thing there can be. I know deep down I should pay more attention to it, but I am physically and emotionally depleted at the end of the day. His demands for it feel almost childlike because he doesn't seem to care about my needs. I wish there was a female Viagra—a pill I could pop that would just get me in the mood."
So how do you start to get back on the same page? Here's what we learned after talking to hundreds of couples, and to each other, about postbaby sex (or the lack thereof):
Start smoochin'
When sex diminishes, small gestures of intimacy (SGIs) like hugging and kissing do, too. Why? As a woman begins to lose interest in sex, she becomes very reluctant to kiss and hug her husband in case those gestures are interpreted as a sign that she wants to have sex. To her, a kiss and hug hello at the end of the workday may give him the impression that they are "on" for later. Many women also commented that being touched by their children satisfied their basic need for contact, so physical attention from their husbands was not something they craved. When your kids are mauling you at every opportunity, you want your husband to keep his hands to himself at night.
For men, when sex diminishes, they get more desperate for physical affection, so they jump into action at the slightest show of interest. When the hugs and kisses don't lead them to their goal, over time, they resent the rejection and cut back on these small physical intimacies as well.
And so starts a dangerous cycle. Men feel close and connected to their wives after they have sex, but for women, the connection has to precede the act. If there are no SGIs throughout the day, you're not likely to be up for making love at night. The longer you go without sex, the less likely your husband is to initiate those SGIs.
Once they understood the reasons SGIs—and therefore, affection—had dissipated in their own relationship, our own Stacie and her husband, Ross, simply decided to hug and kiss every day. These hugs and kisses are given and received without any expectation for sex later on. We've all now adopted this strategy with great results. It's a simple, no-cost thing you can both do to demonstrate your affection for each other, and possibly help you get your groove back.
Date night: Just do it
How many times have you heard this advice? How often do you actually do it? You gotta do it! Couples who reported higher satisfaction with their postbaby sex lives were unanimous in their opinion that regular date nights kept them connected in an intimate, adult way more than anything else they did. As one mom told us: "The point is not which movie you see or where you go to eat. All that matters is that you have some 'alone time' together." If sitters are too expensive, alternate nights with some friends who can watch your kids. We even heard of date nights that have occurred in the couple's own home. Two candles, one table cloth, one bottle of wine, zero electronic gadgets turned on, and zero children awake officially add up to a date night. (Note: Dinner itself can be takeout.)
Escape when you can
The greater the physical and mental distance between you and the kids, the better the sex. Getting away is not always easy, but it's worth the effort. Take a couple of vacations a year alone together. Get a hotel room just for the night every once in a while. It's the best way for a woman to get out of Mommy Mode and remember her other self. It's also the only way to avoid the "ick" factor of motherhood. Women are, for most of the years that our children are small, awash in a sea of bodily fluids and slimy baby food. We're exposed, daily, to the full battery of nature's most disgusting gross-out tricks that would give any good horror flick a run for its money: vomit, drool, poop, breast milk, snot, pee, you name it. God forbid you also own a pet.
After dealing with all that slop, we usually want to avoid the general messiness of sex. But away from the kids and the dog and all their bodily fluids, we may not mind getting a little dirty with him.
Put it in your planner
Let's face it: The days of spontaneous "take me now on the kitchen table" sex are over. Those carefree Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon sessions are a thing of the past. If you want to have quality sex (i.e., where both people are in the mood and in the right place at the same time) you have to plan for it. After all, there's nothing worse than that unexpected 10 p.m. shoulder tap from your husband when you're just about to drift off into sleep.
Cathy has been scheduling "spontaneous" sex with her husband for the last year and a half. He thinks it's a spur of the moment thing (well, he did up until now) when in fact it's a carefully timed affair. Other women we talked to have had luck with the same strategy, whether they plan it in secret or in cahoots with their hubbies. "I've finally started planning sex. It's not particularly exciting, but it's better than the alternative, which is not having it at all," says Joanne, married for six years with two kids. "What guys don't understand is that when a woman has sex, she's inviting someone into her body. We like having time to get ready, just like we would if we were having someone over for dinner."
It's true. It's nice for us girls to have a little time to get ourselves "in the zone." We can plan to give the kids leftovers so we won't have to cook dinner. And, guys, you can plan to get home a little early to help get the kids to bed and allow us some time to take a shower.
Initiate sex yourself
How often have you initiated sex in the last six months? The last six years? Most of us never do. But when you take the initiative, you have sex on your terms, when you want it. You feel less like a rabbit in a cage waiting for your guy to make his move. You feel more in control, less taken advantage of, and your husband, of course, will feel terrific. It can have a hugely positive impact on your marriage.
It takes some practice when you've been out of the habit for a while. Capitalize on a stray thought in the middle of the day, and hang on to it for later. Call your husband to tell him you're suddenly feeling amorous. Take an extra sneak peek at that good-looking guy at the gym. Needless to say, your husband will be thrilled that you want him (your hubby, not the guy in the gym) and wonder what he did to spark your interest. Just by thinking about sex differently—as an activity you once enjoyed and might again one day as opposed to one more demand that's made on your time and your body—you might start to get more interested. "If I feel even the slightest inkling, I've learned to act on it," says Harriet, married for five years and mother of one.
Nighttime may not be the right time
Don't underestimate the importance of timing. The end of the day may be perfect for some women. For most, it isn't. We're spent, in every way, and the thought of revving up when all you want to do is settle down is part of the reason we get turned off. Some women told us they are much more interested in sex first thing in the morning, before intrusive thoughts about the number of bananas in the house and emptying the diaper disposal start making their way into their heads. They might even be coming out of a particularly interesting dream. Try setting the alarm a half hour early. Others like a little Saturday afternoon delight when the kids are hanging out with the electronic babysitter. One friend even reported she likes her husband to wake her up in the middle of the night. (To each her own, but a warning to men: Ask your wife before you attempt this last approach. Interrupt-ing her precious sleep may get you nothing but a fat lip.)
Stop cleaning!
Damn you, Martha Stewart! One of the reasons we have less time and energy for sex is because we let household minutiae and our kids' social calendars drain us. Lazy moms have more sex. They've got more energy for it. We can spend too much time creating the perfect Christmas card in July (with everyone dressed in matching reindeer sweaters for the photo) or organizing our cupboards by smallest-to-largest containers and neglect our relationships. We can get more concerned with the details than with keeping our marriages humming.
So we've concluded that dull women have immaculate lives. And really, who wants to be a dull woman? Given the choice between making a casserole and having sex, perhaps there are times when we could choose sex. We can't be a domestic diva in the kitchen and a lioness in the bedroom. We've learned that intimacy with our partners generally trumps a clean kitchen floor. So when it comes to housekeeping, go for the grade of "Gentlewoman's C." If you feel wiped out at the end of the day, try leaving the house in chaos and just sit beside your husband and watch TV or go take a bath. Because if you're already feeling tired, with each toy you pick up and T-shirt you fold, your annoyance with your husband will grow. By the time you get into bed, you'll want to kick him, not kiss him. A few times a month, be a slacker housewife. If your husband complains, tell him why. We've yet to hear of a man who would choose an immaculate bathroom over sex.

This is pretty much a very, very long shot, but I figured I would call in everyone's help anyway. The Mac Mini G4 is still quite an expensive machine (250-350 EUR here in The Netherlands at least), and combined with MorphOS' price of 150 EUR, that's a rather big sack of money.
There are other PowerPC G4 Macs out there that are much cheaper, especially if you look at the PowerMac line of machines. The G4 PowerBook and iBook models were also very, very popular, probably much more so than the Mac Mini.
Apart from the aforementioned money issue, I also want to do everything in my power to promote the use of alternative operating systems. In the end, that's what OSNews is here for. Sure, you have to wade through boatloads of nonsense about Windows 7, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X, but alternative operating systems are still at our core. Sadly, news about these operating systems are rare.
This is why I am writing this article. I want to find out if the MorphOS 2.4 CD, which is available as a demo version, boots on other G4 Macs too. The chances we encounter a machine (other than the Mini) which supports MorphOS is extremely slim, but I want to try anyway. If we do find a machine, this could mean a few more sales for the MorphOS team.
Of course, before I explain how you can try out the MorphOS CD on your G4 Mac, it is important to note that whatever happens, this is a completely unsupported undertaking. The MorphOS team only supports the G4 Mac Mini, and any other machine that might happen to be able to boot MorphOS (again, highly unlikely) will not be supported in any way by the MorphOS team. If your machine blows up in the process, or kills your collection of rare Flavian dung beetles, that's your problem - not mine, not the MorphOS team's.
In addition, OpenFirmware should not be messed with. The commands in this article are completely harmless, and none of them change or alter any settings. Still, messing in OpenFirmware without knowing what you're doing can have destructive consequences. As such, you're doing this completely at your own risk. I am not responsible in any way.
So, how do you go about testing to see if your G4 Mac supports MorphOS? First, download and burn the .iso image. Bear in mind that this is a demo version, and will slow down after 30 minutes of use. It's a live CD, so you can perform non-destructive testing. Since my very own PowerMac G4 (dual 400Mhz, 1GB of RAM, Radeon 8500 64MB of RAM) would not recognise the MorphOS CD using the default boot method (that is, hold down the 'c' key during boot), we'll need to perform a little OpenFirmware magic.
After you've burnt the CD, put it in your Mac's drive, and shut down the machine. Then, press the power button while holding down cmd+opt+o+f. Note that on newer Mac keyboards, opt has been renamed to alt. This will boot your Mac into OpenFirmware, leaving you at the characteristic 'ok>' prompt. Therefore, note that in the following commands, the 'ok>' does not need to be typed in.
Now that you're in OpenFirmware, you first need to make sure it can actually read from the MorphOS CD you just burnt.
ok> dir cd:\
This should list the contents of the CD in the drive. 'cd' Is automatically set up as a device alias in OpenFirmware on Macs, but in the unlikely case yours might use a different alias, you can issue this command to check:
ok> devalias
This will list all current aliases. Here you can see which alias is used by your CD/DVD drive. Once you're sure the device alias is correct, you can issue the boot command to try and load the MorphOS kernel:
ok> boot cd:\mac_ppc32\boot.img
Be sure to replace the device alias "cd" with whatever your Mac might use. The Mac Mini
boot.img file resides in the
mac_ppc32 directory - contrary to the Pegasos 1, EFIKA, and default boot images, which are all located at the root of the CD.
Now, the most likely outcome is that the boot process will fail at the line "Quark/OpenFirmware" (Quark is MorphOS' kernel). This is what happened on my PowerMac G4, and this simply means that the machine is not able to boot MorphOS - as is to be expected.
It would be awesome if we can get an as wide a number of tests as possible. Even though the chances of us striking gold are virtually zero, I think it's still worth it to try, especially as it takes very little effort, and can be done in a few minutes or less. This process is entirely non-destructive, but do be aware that if you do not know what you're doing, you should not muck about in OpenFirmware. Stick to the above commands if you are not well-versed in the world of OpenFirmware.
I hope we strike gold, no matter how unlikely it might be. Happy testing!

Flavor Trends 2011: New Year, New Flavors
As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, consumers are looking for natural tastes and flavors, in both the familiar and the exotic.
It's the start of another year, and food processors are looking to innovative flavors — in microingredients such as extracts and essences or via macroingredients such as fruits and nuts. Flavor systems and profiles are expanding both to hold consumer interest and to meet the challenges inherent in creating new products that satisfy demands not just for flavor but for health and convenience.
At the top of everyone's list, it seems, is not a flavor but an adjective in front of the word flavor: "natural." "Natural flavors are the new wave of food and drink products," says Dana Sanza, a flavorist for Fona International, Geneva, Ill. "Consumers increasingly are concerned with selecting healthy, good-for-you products with clean labels. They want natural ingredients and great taste."
"Redefining natural" was one of the packaged goods trends cited by Mintel International in a November list of predictions for 2011. But the market research firm warned: "While all types of natural claims have grown in importance in all regions, and across all product categories, the term 'natural' is still ill-defined. Terms that are vague or not well understood will come under fire and we are due to see an intervention of regulatory bodies."
Botanical bonanza
"Natural" usually is a given when discussing botanicals. And health-directed beverages often are a major testing ground for more exotic flavor concepts because unique flavors typically are called upon to compensate for calories. One beverage maker adept at striking that balance is Herbal Water Inc., Wynnewood, Pa., makers of Ayala's Herbal Waters, beverages that rely on culinary herbs to achieve full flavor without calories.
"Ayala's is highly appreciated by people who care about their health and well-being and seek a zero-calorie beverage that achieves great flavor without additives, colorings and preservatives," notes Ayala Laufer-Cahana, an M.D. and vice president of product development. "It also appeals to foodies — people who appreciate sophisticated flavors."
Those "sophisticated flavors" include lavender mint, lemongrass mint vanilla and lemon verbena geranium.
Ayala's Herbal Waters followed up its single-serve, still waters with similarly herb-infused sparkling waters in 750-ml "wine" bottles.
Ayala also makes sparkling herbal waters in elegant glass "wine" bottles, designed to bridge the gap between water and wine. "It's a drink that can satisfy diners who are looking for a sophisticated flavor companion to food, but are looking for something non-alcoholic and non-caloric or that would fit in with an everyday family dinner or in a white tablecloth restaurant," says Laufer-Cahana.
"As a pediatrician, I always advocate against sodas and sugary drinks," she continues. "And I'm an amateur gardener and serious home cook, so I started using the herbs I grew to create beverages for my family and to pair with meals we share when we host. Herbs are naturally flavorful and aromatic, and virtually calorie free. The response to the home-made brews led us to think these herbal waters answer a need in the market."
Antoine Dauby, group marketing director, says Naturex Inc., Hackensack, N.J., expects to expand its floral plant extracts collection to include offerings such as rose, hibiscus and Brazilian cress.
One challenge with botanicals, however, is their flavor components are volatile and can disappear rapidly when exposed to air, light or heat. Naturex recently launched two new flavor technology subcategories: Aquaready, a range of products dispersible in water and low-fat products; and EZ-Caps, a delivery system that protects aromatic compounds from losses or degradation of the aromas over time.
From superfruits to nuts
Superfruits are alive and well for the New Year, with both a favorite and a sleeper expanding into new areas. Rising interest in vegan proteins is among the drivers.
"Our newest flavor, Amazon OJ, will hit retail stores across the country, including Whole Foods Market," says Jeremy Black, chief brand officer of Sambazon, San Clemente, Calif. Amazon OJ is an organic blend of açaí, orange juice and acerola juice, rich in vitamin C and low in sugar. "Around March, we will be launching two organic protein superfood smoothies that deliver 10g of vegan protein per bottle.
Interest is not just in exotic superfruits. Perhaps the "return to basics" mentality of the recession has reopened eyes to familiar superfruits, such as pomegranates, cranberries, various berries and other antioxidant-rich domestic delights.
"Cherries and in particular cherry juice are now receiving more attention as a recovery drink for post-exercise pain," says Brian Packer, account executive for the Cherry Marketing Institute, Lansing, Mich. Tart cherries are a good source of melatonin, a natural anti-inflammatory that may decrease swelling in the joints and muscles. Rich in antioxidants like other superfruits, tart cherries have always received less attention than similar fruits, but this may be the year they break out.
Earlier this year, the Cherry Marketing Institute surveyed R&D professionals at several companies. One of the major findings was that cherries are broadly appealing but underleveraged. "We are seeing increased interest moving into 2011," says Packer. "One of the newest products to hit store shelves is the Cherry-Pomegranate Nutri-Grain Superfruit Fusion bar," a whole-grain and fruit bar created by Kellogg Co.

5381 Legal Negotiations - HUGHES/LEISSNER- 11798
Robert Hughes (ADJUNCT)
Tracy Leissner (ADJUNCT)
Credits: 3
Course Areas: Blakely Advocacy Simulation
Time: 6:00p-9:00p MLocation: 111 TUII
Course Outline: We live in a society of competing and yet interdependent interests that create a need for negotiation to peacefully craft stable agreements, advance mutual interests, build trust, and construct understanding in complex and sometimes unstable environments.
To help you develop the understanding and skills necessary to respond to this challenge, we will look at the process of negotiation through three levels of inquiry:
First, we examine how negotiators manage their interactions in strategic bargaining and ask, "Why do we get one deal rather than another?"
Second, we will consider how negotiators may construct relationships of trust and create opportunities for mutual gain and ask, "Can we shape the game we play?"
Third, we conclude by examining the ways that additional parties, multiple issues and public participation may influence negotiation practice by asking, "How does complexity affect the game?"
By exploring these questions, we hope to accomplish two goals:
First, we hope you will develop skills that will make you a better negotiator.
Second, we hope to help you understand negotiation in terms of learning, rationality, ethics, organizational behavior, and other fields. In more substantive terms, this course should help you diagnose conflict, prepare to negotiate, negotiate purposefully and thoughtfully, and critically evaluate outcomes and experiences.
We will examine a variety of contexts and problems that create a need for negotiation. We will raise questions about what it means to negotiate well. We will explore a systematic approach to negotiation to apply when your interests or beliefs are in tension with others' and you cannot act unilaterally.
You will have the opportunity to experiment with this approach and to try alternative approaches in negotiation exercises. These exercises form the core of the course. We will use the exercises to examine concepts and analytic approaches. We suggest you approach this course as a research seminar, in which the common experience of negotiating with each other provides the substantive basis for our analysis. At the same time, you should expect to finish the course as a more effective negotiator.

Recent statistics estimate that 300,000 Android devices are being activated everyday. This increasingly growing number of Android users is perhaps the biggest motivation to Android app developers as it provides them with one of the widest markets for users to access their apps. The steady adoption of Android by device manufacturers that produce tablet computers, smartphones, and other gadgets serve as an assurance that the platform is here to stay and developers can prepare for greener pastures in the near future.
As a developer on any platform, you want to develop your applications at the lowest cost, utilizing free resources as often as you can. The Android platform, unlike iOS, is an open source platform and this fact has made developers take a liking to the Android platform, as compared to the iOS platform. Google develops Android and the company has taken huge steps in open-sourcing the technology and knowledge resources developers need to build apps on their platform. This includes Android documentation, which is very extensive and exposes developers to nearly everything. Unlike the iOS documentation that hides important aspects from developers. Furthermore, Android code is Java based, meaning the millions of already existing Java programmers have an easy time adopting the platform. These factors, coupled with the online support that most open source technology enjoys, makes the Android development learning curve much shorter than that of an iOS developer.
There are more than 50 Android phones in the market from more than ten manufacturers. This excludes other hardware that also runs Android, such as tablet computers and televisions. This is a huge number given that iOS, Android's most competitive rival, runs strictly on Apple manufactured devices. Apple's devices are roughly 10 in type. Android users are therefore somehow 'spoilt for choice' and these variations mean there is an Android device suitable for almost everyone. This is a big boost to Android developers since it guarantees that their apps can run on cheap and relatively expensive devices unlike Apple manufactured devices that tend to be rather costly.
For most developers, revenue generation obtained from sale of their apps or from advertisement plans is the reason they develop apps in the first place. They want as many markets as possible and the more users can gain access to their apps, the better for them. The Google Android market is now accessible via the web, a big stride taken by Google to add to the market app that already ships with all Android devices. Furthermore, Android developers can now post their apps to a variety of other popular markets, such as Amazon, where their apps get a global audience. The same cannot be said for apps developed for iOS since they must be accessed from Apple's market, which many consider to be restrictive in ways the Android market isn't.
Lastly, garbage collection is an important aspect of development. When building an app, you want to free up as much memory as you possibly can, given the limited capabilities mobile devices have. iOS development forces a developer to learn the details of memory management and when to free it. Android on the other hand, has efficient and automated garbage collection capabilities.
In a nutshell, Android development is easy to learn, makes use of open source technologies and has a growing online community that constantly provides examples of working code that developers can modify or adopt into their own applications. It is worth mentioning that the Android OS is itself an embedded operating system that is based on the Linux kernel for core system services.
