SANDY, Utah – Four Real Salt Lake players – MF Kyle Beckerman (USA), GK Nick Rimando (USA), FW Álvaro Saborío (Costa Rica) and MF Will Johnson (Canada) – have been called by their respective national teams for FIFA World Cup Qualifying matches on Oct. 12 and Oct. 16.
This is the third-straight FIFA break that all four of Beckerman, Rimando, Johnson and Saborio have been called-up to their respective national teams. They aren't the only RSL players on international duty this time around, though, as18-year-old MF Luis Gil is with the U.S. U-20 team for the Marbella Cup in Spain.
Beckerman, Rimando, Johnson, Saborio and Gil all left RSL for international duty on Sunday, one day after the Claret-and-Cobalt's big 2-1 win at the L.A. Galaxy. All five players will return to Real Salt Lake following their final international matches on Oct. 16. RSL's next match is on Oct. 17 at Seattle Sounders FC.
Beckerman and Rimando will take on Antigua & Barbuda on the road on Oct. 12 before heading back stateside to face Guatemala in Kansas City on Oct. 16. The U.S. is currently tied for first with Guatemala in Group A and leading third-place Jamaica on goal difference with just two games left in this round. Only the top two teams from each group will qualify for the six-team final round that will take place in 2013.
Beckerman, RSL's captain, has appeared 23 times for the U.S. and has scored once in international play. He started and came off as a second-half sub in the U.S. 2-1 loss at Jamaica on Sept. 7 and didn't feature in the Americans' 1-0 win over the Reggae Boyz in Columbus on Sept. 11.
Rimando has six career caps for the U.S. team. The 33-year-old 'keeper backed up Tim Howard and Brad Guzan in the U.S.'s Sept. 11 win over Jamaica after missing the Sept. 7 game at Jamaica while with RSL.
Saborío, 30, will look to earn his 74th and 75th caps for Costa Rica when they take on El Salvador on the road on Oct. 12 and Guyana at home on Oct. 16. Los Ticos – currently in third-place in Group B – have a bit of work to do to qualify for the next round, needing to jump second-place El Salvador in the final two games in order to secure a place in the hexagonal.
Canada has called in Johnson – who will be looking for caps 30 and 31 of his career – for its qualifiers against Honduras and Cuba. Like Costa Rica, Canada needs to get good results at Honduras and home against Cuba to qualify for the hexagonal. The Canucks are currently tied on points in Group C with second-place Honduras but trail on goal difference.
Real Salt Lake's next game is on Oct. 17 at Seattle. After that, the club will take on Costa Rican champions C.S. Herediano in a must-win CONCACAF Champions League match at Rio Tinto Stadium on Oct. 23 before closing out the MLS regular season at home against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Oct. 27.

Toowoomba under consideration for greyhound return
ALMOST 13 years are being controversially dumped as a racing venue, Toowoomba is back in the running to be part of a new direction for the Queensland greyhound industry.
The former Toowoomba Showgrounds greyhound complex is being considered for re-entry on to Queensland's TAB racing circuit.
A decision on the re-opening or construction of Queensland's next greyhound racing facility is expected after the imminent announcement of a three-person greyhound board.
The board will be responsible for matters including race programs, prize money distribution and the daily running of the industry.
Racing Queensland chairman Kevin Dixon confirmed Toowoomba is on a shortlist to fill a current industry void.
Only two TAB tracks - Albion Park and Ipswich - presently operate in South East Queensland following the closure of the "one-turn" Parklands circuit in 2008.
Investigations are continuing into the possible location of a new greyhound complex in the south-east corner.
In the meantime, Toowoomba is high on the list of racing options. The Gatton Showgrounds have already been ruled out as a contender.
"There are a lot of varying opinions amongst stakeholders," Dixon said.
"We've been listening to their input and the options range from spending money on a new track through to renovating or restoring a facility.
"Toowoomba fits into that category and we've done some work on the possibility of racing returning to its former showgrounds site.
"The new greyhound board will come into place in coming weeks. It will have passed to it what the options are and what money is available.
"The board members will then have to consider what benefits each option offers and what the negatives are.
"It's a matter then of what venue offers the most benefits and what can be afforded.
"At the end of the day, greyhound people have to be on board with the final decision.
"But I have a feeling whatever the final answer is, it will not be a single answer."
Dixon said a plus for racing returning to Toowoomba would be its one-turn design.
Industry members are lobbying strongly for the return of a one-turn track to Queensland greyhound racing.
Being a one-turn track definitely throws Toowoomba into the mix," Dixon said.
A downside to the Toowoomba option is the venue is not owned by Racing Queensland.
"For racing to return to Toowoomba, an arrangement would have to be reached with the landlord which in this case is the show society," Dixon said.
CEO Damon Phillips said the Royal Agricultural Society will consider any proposal for greyhounds to return to the showgrounds.
Long-time Toowoomba greyhound racing participants Col Byers and Mark Saal said racing in Toowoomba could be up and running within three months of it being approved.
"Bevan Williamson, who is a consultant to Racing Queensland, travelled to Toowoomba with two other representatives - Damian Raedler and Darryl Reid - and said they were very impressed with the first-class facilities still here," Byers said.
Saal believes a return of racing to Toowoomba would be widely applauded in the industry. "It is the only option for a track to be up and running in the short term," Saal said.

About the Brand
Fashion stylist Linda Rodin had a side project during her over 30 years in the fashion industry: Hand-blending her favorite rare, luxurious essential oils into the unique and precious olio lusso. She initially shared the eleven-oil concoction on shoots with makeup artists, models, editors, and photographers, and then its reputation grew. It leaves skin incredibly soft, smooth, and fully hydrated; the scent is a delicately gorgeous and indulgent as it gets. As her brand burgeoned into a nationally-recognized name, she added creams, cleansers, and even candles, all based on the neroli-inflected original. Linda still personally oversees the artisanal production, ensuring that only the finest raw materials are used and that each small batch meets her exacting standards.

Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est (And thus knowledge itself is power)
— Sir Francis Bacon.
The next edition of Scientia Pro Publica (Science for the People) is less than two weeks away and as usual, it is seeking submissions and hosts! Can you help by sending URLs for your own or others' well-written science, medicine, and nature blog essays to me or by volunteering to host this carnival on your blog?
Scientia Pro Publica is a traveling blog carnival that celebrates the best science, environment, nature and medical writing that has been published in the blogosphere within the past 60 days targeted specifically to the public.
The most recent edition of Scientia Pro Publica (Science for the People) can be read at Bjørn's blog, Pleiotropy: Scientia Pro Publica — 23rd edition.
The host for the upcoming 5 April edition will be Andrew, who writes 360 Degree Skeptic. To send submissions of your writing or others' to Scientia Pro Publica, either use this automated submission form or use the cute little widget on the right (be aware that widget doesn't upload when the mother site is nonfunctional, and also check your email/spam filter for your submission receipt to be sure it was sent properly). When submitting an essay, be sure to include the URL or "permalink", the essay title and — to make life easier for the host — please include a 2-3 sentence summary. Don't forget that all essays must be written for the purpose of communicating with the public and non-specialists, and if the host suspects a submission is either advertising or pseudoscience, it will be rejected.
If you wish to read the archived issues to see what sorts of essays that were linked previously, visit the Scientia website.
Since Scientia Pro Publica is a traveling blog carnival, it needs host sites to travel to. If you are interested in hosting this carnival on your blog, please contact me as soon as possible or notify the current host (please note that I prefer hosts who have had their writing included in one or more editions of this carnival). Scientia Pro Publica is published on the first and third Monday of each month, so feel free to choose a particular date, or I'll assign you the first available date [working schedule of Scientia hosts]. Due to the large number of submissions received, Scientia will be publishing once each week starting on 5 April through 7 June, when it will resume its normal twice-monthly schedule (until the number of non-spam non-woo submissions exceeds 50 once more).

Time Inc. unveiled its first major shake-up Friday, as the magazine division inches closer to spinning off from its parent company Time Warner.
The New York-based Time Inc. ousted both Mark Golin, group editor of its style and entertainment group, and Larry Hackett, managing editor of People magazine.
According to an internal memo sent to staff members, Jess Cagle, editor of Entertainment Weekly, will take the helm as editor of People. He will also assume the role of editorial director for EW. An editor of EW is expected to be named shortly and that person will report to Cagle, the company said.
Cagle will continue to report to David Geithner, executive vice president and group president of the style and entertainment group, with a dotted line to Norman Pearlstine, chief content officer.
The appointment foreshadows impending layoffs at Time Inc., which chief executive officer Joe Ripp alluded to in December at the company's quarterly corporate meeting. According to Ripp, job cuts will take place this year, as the company prepares to spin off by the second quarter.

Assalamu alaikum.
Let us note that:
Islam is not new i.e. it did not begin with Muhammad. Islam began 6 billion years ago.
2. Muhammad came to tell the world the True events and incidents that took place between the Messengers of Allah and their people who obeyed and disobeyed the. This was a warning for all to remember and take note of. If good befell on them so likewise. If evil befell on them so likewise.
3. Muhammad strengthened the Laws i.e. Shari'a revealed to Prophet Musa (AS) and never enacted any new one outside the 10 commandments. The Mercy of Allah, Plan, Will, Wisdom should not be ridiculed. This in no way made the world what it is today!
4. It is unfortunate that the West and their cohorts preferred to know Islam from those who do not know it. The basis of comparison (Muhammad)is the life history of all the Prophets and the righteous who stood and propagated their teachings and not those individuals who look to the fleeting life of this world, ignorant of the basic fundamental teachings in the Books of Genesis and the Exodus and forgetting the past. Why did Prophet Musa stood at the gate and asked all those who believed in the Allah of Ibrahim (Abraham) to come to him? Was the lesson in the time of Prophet Saul not what is awaiting the world today?
5. It is unfortunate that Daisy Khan did not understand the Usul i.e. foundation of Islamic jurisprudence i.e. the Shari'a. For her to state shamefully that there are many interpretations of the Shari'a is to accuse Allah and Muhammad Rasullulah of crassness. The Children of Israel never doubted the Plan, Wisdom, Will and Mercy of Allah. When the remnants of Taurah was later discovered by Hilkiah and the Law was obeyed Israel prospered. If the Qur'an is not available let us use what Hilkiah used to prosper. The Message from Allah is ONE!

About the Department
Department of Psychology
Psychology is concerned with all aspects of the study of behavioral, developmental and cognitive processes, and employs a broad spectrum of approaches, from the social to the biological to understand them. The Hunter College Psychology Program reflects the diversity of psychology as a science and as a profession. Its course offerings span this spectrum from clinical, social and developmental psychology to experimental psychology, ethology, biopsychology and behavioral neuroscience.
Students have personal contact with faculty through an extensive advisement system, involvement in departmental activities and committees, supervised field placement, and participation in research laboratories under the guidance of faculty mentors as part of the independent study, honors and COR (Career Opportunities in Research and Education) programs.
A broad range of applied research opportunities are available within the department in developmental psychology, social psychology, human adjustment, animal behavior, physiological psychology and abnormal psychology. Departmental affiliations with mental health and community organizations make it possible for students to integrate their academic studies of personality, abnormal and child psychology with supervised practical experience by means of field placements and opportunities for applied research.
The Department of Psychology offers two master's programs: an MA in Psychology and an MA in Animal Behavior and Conservation (ABC). The master's program in psychology allows students to tailor their studies and thesis work toward the areas of Applied, Developmental, Social and/or Biological Psychology. The master's in the ABC is designed for students interested in the fields of Animal Behavior, Conservation, and Animal Welfare. Hunter College also offers a Certificate under the ABC program (registered with the New York State Education Department) and open to post-baccalaureate students who by virtue of prior education or experience are qualified for additional training. Hunter's Psychology Faculty are also on the faculty of several doctoral programs housed at the CUNY Graduate Center. Qualified undergraduate students in their senior year may be admitted to graduate courses with the approval of the instructor and the department's graduate advisor. The presence of graduate programs at Hunter increases opportunities for undergraduates to interact and work with graduate students in research laboratories.

Conservative radio host Chidester considering run for CongressBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
October 01. 2013 6:46PM
Conservative radio talk show host Jeff Chidester said Tuesday he has been approached by "numerous people inside the state and outside the state" about the possibility of running for the 1st District U.S. House seat.
Chidester, a Republican, said he is considering it but feels in no rush to decide.
Republican Former U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta has announced his candidacy for the seat now held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, while another Republican, former University of New Hampshire business school dean Dan Innis, is also strongly considering it.
Chidester, whose program "New Hampshire Perspective" airs on News Radio 96.7-FM on the Seacoast and WGIR-AM in Manchester, is a former state director of U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's short-lived campaign for president in 2011.
He has also long been outspoken and active in conservative circles and writes on issues related to the U.S. Constitution and the role of government.
Chidester said he has been "asked to run for various positions in the past, including Congress," and is "truly humbled that so many people trust and believe in me. Their faith in me is not something I take lightly.
He said he has "forged some very strong relationships with prominent conservatives, not only in New Hampshire, but across the country. These relationships include members of Congress, former members of Congress and various conservative groups.
Chidester said that many of those who have asked him to consider running are "pledging assistance should I decide to run. This is all very humbling, but now it is also getting very serious."
Chidester said he has family and professional commitments and, "I would feel no rush to make a final decision for several months. But I know that if I ever did run for Congress I would have strong support at all levels."

It's close enough to the July 4 holiday that we're getting started a little early!
We know a lot of you love grilling burgers with your venison from last season, so this week Foodie Friday has a treat. Longtime wild game chef and hunter Scott Leysath whips up one of his favorite, or maybe definitively his favorite, venison burger recipes.
By Alan Clemons, Managing Editor
Leysath's great recipes for fish, fowl and game can be found at HuntFishCook.com along with tips on cleaning and preparation.
Make the perfect bun-sized burger every time with this patty helper, Weston's EXPress!
July 4 is Wednesday, smack dab in the middle of the week. Does that mean we have two holiday weekends? Of course! So it's time to whip up not only some burgers but also some great side dishes, which we've added to this week's Foodie Friday for you. Always good to have a bounty of options for a chillout weekend or two, along with some cold watermelon, nibblers and drinks.
One thing I learned years ago from Leysath is summed up in three words: "Don't overcook it." Definitely make sure you ask how folks want their meat, because everyone's different. I get that. But if you burn something to a crisp or dry out everything inside until it's a drab, grayish hunk that looks like an old shoe, it's not going to taste good.
If your burgers are too thick then turn down the fire and count on longer cooking time. Don't fire-blast 'em so the outside's done and the inside is raw. That's not a good combo. And don't have the patties so thin that if you do walk away to water the begonias they turn into hockey pucks. Use medium-high heat or let the charcoal burn down to a good temp and keep and eye on the meat.
Here's Leysath's great burger recipe:
Venison Bleu Cheese Burger
1 1/2 pounds ground venison
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cups mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
2 tbsp bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
4 burger buns
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent. Stir in mushrooms and sauté until soft. Transfer to a medium bowl and allow to cool.
Add ground venison, blue cheese, bread crumbs, salt and pepper and mix well with your hands to blend. Form into 4 large patties. Grill, pan-fry or broil patties until browned. Add to bun with lettuce, tomato and your choice of other condiments.
Wow! Sounds great. Here are some side dishes to go along with those burgers!
Emily Anderson had a great recipe for Corn Salsa and graciously agreed to share it with us.
Emily is from Colorado, and loves to hunt, fish and get outdoors with her husband. Check out her really cool site at FromTheDraw.com to keep up with what's happening in the Rockies and elsewhere.
Corn Salsa
1 can canned corn
1/2 red onion
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 orange or yellow pepper
1 bunch cilantro
Sea salt
White balsamic vinegar (1-2 Tablespoons)
Olive oil (1-2 Tablespoons)
1 lime
Serrano or jalapeno pepper
Drain corn and dump in large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion. Chop peppers into small bite size pieces. Chop or shred with fingers the desired amount of cilantro, and add to bowl. Season with sea salt (1 tsp or so). Add balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Squeeze 1/2 lime over mixture. Finely chop serrano or jalapeno pepper and mix throughly into salsa.
Chopping up veggies for the salsa? You need a good cutting surface like this one, which has a giant whitetail buck on it!
I ran across this quick appetizer, or side dish if you want to use it as one, on another site recently. It's easy to make and pretty tasty
Roma Sausage Slammers
Roma tomatoes, enough for everyone to have at least two
Mozzarella cheese, grated
Romano cheese, grated
Monterrey or Pepper Jack cheese, slices
Spicy sausage link
Grill the sausage. While you're doing that, cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and remove the seeds/insides. Add a layer of grated cheeses, then a slice or bite-sized piece of the spicy sausage. Cover the top with the sliced cheese (whichever you prefer) and put on a medium-hot grill for a few moments. The tomato will grill, the cheese will melt and you'll have a quick, tasty popper. Add a thin slice of seeded jalapeno pepper atop the sausage if you want a little more bite.
Y'all have a great weekend!

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — Ethnic Tuareg rebels have agreed to stop pursuing a separate state in Mali's north, while one of the extremist Islamist groups in the area has pledged to reject extremism and terrorism, according to a statement released by the various groups on Tuesday.
The concessions came during talks with Mali's government, and suggested progress in its effort to avoid a Western-backed military intervention. But it's unclear whether all the rebel factions in northern Mali — Islamist or ethnic Tuareg — will unite behind the pledges made during Tuesday's one-day session. Al-Qaida's North African branch was one group with a strong presence in Mali that was not even at the table.
The meeting, organized and held in Burkina Faso, succeeded in setting up a framework for future negotiations. The statement released afterward did not mention whether the Mali government made any promises or concessions of its own.
Mali, formerly a poor but stable nation, was thrown into turmoil after a March coup by disgruntled soldiers, who toppled the country's democratically elected leader. A mix of rebel groups took advantage of the power vacuum to seize a territory the size of France in the north.
The separatist National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, or NMLA, initially had the upper hand, and its members planted their multi-hued flag on government buildings announcing the creation of a new Tuareg country. But in June, just a few months after taking the north, the NMLA was chased out by three al-Qaida-linked Islamist groups which now control the north, including Ansar Dine, or "Defenders of the Faith."
Burkina's Foreign Affairs Minister Djibril Bassole told reporters Tuesday that all parties had agreed to respect Mali's national unity and its territorial integrity. That's an important concession for the NMLA, a group led by Tuareg fighters who embody the grievances of Mali's Tuareg minority, which has long felt marginalized by the country's rulers, all of whom came from the darker-skinned ethnicities dominant in the nation's south.
Still, Mahamadou Djeri Maiga, the vice president of the NMLA said the new position meant that the Tuaregs "have renounced independence, but not self-determination." That suggested the group would seek some level of independence from the central government.
Bassole further noted that all of the groups at the negotiating table have also agreed to "reject all forms of extremism and terrorism, and respect the Malian community."
Ansar Dine controls the towns of Kidal and Timbuktu in northern Mali, and its fighters have imposed a brutal form of Islamic law, stoning to death a couple accused of adultery and hacking off the hands of thieves. It's unclear how the group could stay true to the vision of Islam it has already articulated while also rejecting extremism.
Two other groups entrenched in the north were not represented at the talks: the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, or MUJAO, and al-Qaida's North African branch, called al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. By most accounts, MUJAO and AQIM are more powerful than either Ansar Dine or NMLA, and their absence at the talks begs the question of whether the negotiations will have any real impact.
The crisis in Mali has led to calls for an African-led intervention with Western support from nations such as France and the United States, though no Western troops are expected to be deployed. The African Union has approved a military plan, which calls for 3,300 African troops to be deployed to take back northern Mali. The plan is now with at the United Nations for vetting.
In a report earlier this month, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said that before a military action is launched, the focus must be on initiating a broad-based political dialogue and addressing the longstanding grievances of the Tuaregs. "The urgent need for progress on the political track cannot be overstated," Ban said.

Shelton book examines race and religion
Friday, October 12, 2012
Media Contact: Bridget Lewis
The beliefs of black and white Christians may appear similar, but a UT Arlington researcher has found significant differences among the races in everything from how frequently people pray or attend church to whether they believe in heaven or hell.
In his new book, "Blacks and Whites in Christian America: How Racial Discrimination Shapes Religious Convictions (NYU Press)," assistant sociology professor Jason Shelton reports on survey data from 2006, and interviews and focus groups conducted in 2008. Shelton co-authored the book with Michael Emerson, sociology professor and co-director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University.
The team carefully analyzed data from a survey that they designed and collected from Protestants across various U.S. denominations and regions. They also analyzed the General Social Survey, an annual opinion poll that asks Americans questions about a wide range of topics, including religion and race relations. They complemented the surveys with interviews with everyday Christian believers and clergy.
"We were inspired to write this book because the subject of race relations among Christians has not received much attention from scholars," said Shelton, who joined the UT Arlington Department of Sociology and Anthropology in 2008. "This topic sheds much needed light on who we are as a nation and the role that faith plays in determining whether groups get along with one another."
Shelton said it is coincidence that the book happens to have been published at a time when religion has become part of the dialogue surrounding the November presidential election.
"So much of the talk concerns the dynamics of religion and race. For example, there are questions about whether evangelicals will come out in strong support for Mitt Romney, who is Mormon. Similarly, since President Obama took office, there have been questions about his affiliation with Christianity," Shelton said. "There are strong similarities between evangelical Protestantism and black Protestantism, but there are major differences as well."
Emerson added: "At the very core, the fundamental beliefs of Christianity – that God exists for example – black and white Protestants do not differ. But on most everything else, even the terms they use to describe who God is, they do differ and often dramatically so."
Shelton said the book brings greater balance to the topic by showing that "our nation's history of slavery and segregation shaped the way blacks think about and practice their faith even now."
"We hope to call attention to ways to bridge gaps between black and white Protestants, as these groups are important to the progress of American race relations," Shelton said.
Beth Wright, dean of the UT Arlington College of Liberal Arts, said, "Dr. Shelton's rigorous analysis adds important insights into complex intersections of race and religion in America. His work also helps to improve our understanding of society and culture."
"Blacks and Whites in Christian America: How Racial Discrimination Shapes Religious Convictions" is available now at Amazon.com and via other websites.
Shelton's work is representative of the research under way at The University of Texas at Arlington, a comprehensive research institution of more than 33,200 students in the heart of North Texas. Visit www.uta.edu to learn more.

Silent Hill HD Collection also coming to 360
Silent Hill HD Collection is now coming for the Xbox 360, after fan response to the previously announced PS3-exclusivity made Konami reconsider.
The Silent Hill HD Collection, previously announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, will be coming to Xbox 360 as well due to fan demand. The game is still due extremely soon, but the team is working hard to hit both platforms at once.
Joystiq reports that the announcement came from Silent Hill: Downpour producer Tomm Hulett during Konami's Gamescom 2011 press conference. In a video, Hulett said the fan response sparked the company to develop for both platforms, thus proving that complaining occasionally works. The developer is "aiming" for a simultaneous release on both platforms.
That release is approaching fast, though. The game is still officially slated for "September/October," giving them only a short time to complete both projects. We're betting they'll take advantage of the built-in breathing room and schedule the game for October. Perhaps late October, which just so happens to coincide with a spooky holiday. Imagine that.
The Silent Hill HD Collection includes remastered versions of both Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3.

South Dakota's foster care system "systematically violated the spirit and the letter" of a law meant to protect Native American children, a coalition of tribal directors from the state's nine Sioux tribes said in a report released Thursday night. The report comes a year after NPR aired a series questioning whether the law was being enforced.
The 30-year-old Indian Child Welfare Act says native children must be placed with relatives or their tribes if they are removed from their homes, except in unusual circumstances. The coalition said the state appears to have violated the law willfully, "and it may have done so at least partly to bring federal tax dollars into the state."
An official with South Dakota's Department of Social Services said in a statement that the department has not seen the report and cannot comment on it. They have said in the past they believe in the law and money has never influenced their program.
The group plans to send the report to Congress and is pushing lawmakers to force the Bureau of Indian Affairs to hold a promised summit to look into the issue. So far the BIA has failed to hold that summit. The BIA did not respond to requests for comment.
Update at 7:37 p.m. ET. 'Reviewing... Pressing Matters':
The BIA sent us this statement:
"Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Kevin Washburn was confirmed on October 6, 2012 and is diligently reviewing a number of pressing matters affecting tribes across Indian Country. He understands the critical nature of these particular issues and the tremendous importance of protecting the welfare of Indian children."
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block.
A coalition of South Dakota's nine tribes has found that the state is willfully violating a federal law meant to protect Native American children. The coalition has written a report about this and intends to send it to Congress. The report says the state is placing too many Native children in white foster care. NPR's Laura Sullivan explains.
LAURA SULLIVAN, BYLINE: There's a 30-year-old law called the Indian Child Welfare Act. It requires states to place Native American children with relatives or tribal members if they are removed from their homes, except in the most unusual cases. A coalition of tribal directors in South Dakota believe that is not happening.
TERRY YELLOW FAT: Enough. Enough. Enough is enough. We can no longer allow this to happen.
SULLIVAN: Terry Yellow Fat is in charge of overseeing the Indian Child Welfare Act for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and is chairman of the coalition. He says their investigation found that Native children were overwhelmingly placed in white foster homes while Native homes sat empty.
YELLOW FAT: So many times I run into adults that have returned to the reservation. They're lost. I see the lost children of Standing Rock because they didn't grow up in our culture, and they were always foreign to the culture that they grew up in in that foster home. They never felt that they belonged.
SULLIVAN: The report found that the state has, quote, "systematically violated the spirit and the letter of the law." It says the state appears to have done this willfully, and it may have done so at least partly to bring federal tax dollars into the state. An official with the Department of Social Services said in a statement that the department has not seen the report and cannot comment on it. But they have said in the past that money has never influenced their program and that they are trying to find more Native foster care providers. An NPR series last year found that 87 percent of Native American children in foster care in South Dakota were placed in white foster homes.
DANIEL SHEEHAN: This is a major act of solidarity on the part of all nine of the reservations.
SULLIVAN: Daniel Sheehan is legal counsel for the Lakota People's Law Project, a nonprofit law firm that helped the tribal directors put together the report. He says the group took up the issue after Congress asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs to investigate and hold a summit meeting. The BIA has so far failed to hold that summit. The BIA did not respond to requests for comment.
SHEEHAN: Attempting to deal with the state has gotten everybody nowhere. The state is not acting in good faith.
SULLIVAN: Congressman Jim Moran, a Virginia Democrat, is part of a bipartisan group in Washington looking into the state's compliance with the law.
REPRESENTATIVE JIM MORAN: This is something that needs to be addressed. I think we have given more than adequate time to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and certainly the state of South Dakota to correct this. And there doesn't seem to be adequate progress.
SULLIVAN: The tribal directors expect to send their report to Congress in the next few weeks. Laura Sullivan, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The conventional wisdom has it that Chuck Schumer holds the key to the confirmation prospects of Chuck Hagel. The conventional wisdom may well be correct. As one of its purveyors, Politico, explains, "If Schumer were to oppose Hagel, it would almost certainly amount to a fatal blow to his candidacy since a number of pro-Israel Democrats who are squeamish about the nominee could very well be influenced by the No. 3 Democrat's position." But if Schumer supports Hagel, his status as a Senate leader and supporter of Israel would provide the cover necessary for Democrats to back Hagel with near (or actual) unanimity.
According to Politico, several sources say Schumer has told senators it would be "very hard" for him to support Hagel because of his positions on Israel over the years. And last week, he reportedly told allies and power brokers in the Jewish community that he's uneasy about Hagel's nomination.
So what will Schumer do? My guess is that, assuming that Hagel successfully goes through the motions of a confirmation conversion on issues relating to Israel-Iran and assuming no new information harmful to Hagel emerges, Schumer will vote to confirm, if Obama needs his vote. In my view, Schumer is a Party loyalist before he is a supporter of Israel. Or, as Hagel might put it, Schumer is the Senator from Democratic left-liberalism (and, above all, from Chuck Schumer's aspiration to power), not the Senator from Israel. So I would expect enough posturing to avoid alienating Jewish voters in a big way, followed by a vote that will keep him on the good side of the president and the left.
Given Schumer's centrality in this matter, wouldn't you think that the White House obtained a clear signal of probable support from Schumer before proceeding with the Hagel nomination? I would have, and perhaps it did — maybe the "Hamlet" act we're about to witness will be a charade.
If the White House nominated Hagel without some kind of positive signal from Schumer, he may be sufficiently offended to make Obama sweat this one out. But that's not the same thing as being offended enough to sink Hagel.
Even if Hagel isn't confirmed, a significant amount of damage has already occurred due to the fact that Obama wants Hagel at the Pentagon. After all, it's Obama, not Hagel, who will set our foreign and defense policies. And the signal from Obama to Iran sent by the Hagel nomination is the same regardless of whether Hagel is confirmed.
Nonetheless, with Hagel in the cabinet, Obama would receive a steady stream of bad advice (some of it anti-Israeli) and the Pentagon likely would be poorly managed. But I'm not betting on Schumer to stand in the way of these consequences.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Known as a place of western hospitality, Elk City, Okla., is home to the National Route 66 Museum. The small country town of about 11,000 people is also home to the world's largest non-operating on-site drilling rig. But to University of Oklahoma basketball fans for the past three years, it has been known as the home of Cade Davis.
Davis, a 6-5, 199-pound junior guard for the Sooners, has turned heads across the state with his sharp-shooting ability and passionate play. He is among the team's leaders in 3-pointers and paces the squad in steals. Against Northern Colorado Dec. 19, he scored 25 points—20 in the first half when he made six 3-pointers. Davis traces his love for the game—and a lot of his success—back to his roots in hoops hungry Elk City.
"We like all our sports out there but I would say Elk City is predominantly a basketball town," said Davis. "We have the (AAU) Bi-State Shootout every year. A lot of teams from different states and even local teams from Oklahoma City play in it and get a lot of good competition."
A basketball was in Davis' hands at an early age. But while he honed his skills on the court, Davis was also a regular at the rodeo. He competed in calf roping on numerous occasions and spent time traveling to rodeos to watch his dad compete.
Rodeos and basketball may not seem to go hand in hand, but for Davis, watching his father compete taught him a valuable lesson about hard work that sticks with him to this day.
"Calf roping is just like playing basketball," reasoned Davis. "You have to practice, practice, practice. If things weren't going well for my dad, he would go out and rope 100 calves a night and make sure he got it down before he went to bed. If things aren't going well for me, I go to the gym, shoot some shots and make sure everything is how it needs to be."
Above all, Davis' success stems from his family. He believes the opportunity his parents gave him to play and to be in a place like Elk City helped him excel. More importantly, his mom and dad instilled in him the values of always doing the best he could and never giving up.
Teammate and roommate Beau Gerber said one of Davis' best qualities is working hard and contributing to his team in any way possible.
"He is willing to do whatever Coach (Jeff Capel) asks of him," said Gerber. "He knows that he might not have to score a bunch, but he can play defense and contribute that way. Just like when he defended Rotnei Clarke in the Arkansas game. He took that on and didn't let him score."
The sharp-shooting Clarke entered the Dec. 2 game averaging 26.7 points and 5.8 3-point makes a contest for the Razorbacks. Davis held him to 11 points on 1-for-6 shooting behind the arc.
Although now slightly removed from Elk City, sometimes Davis' country characteristics still shine through. Gerber said although Davis doesn't wear cowboy boots and plaid shirts, his accent and love for country music give away his rural upbringing.
True to his spirit, Davis always remembers where he is from and says nothing makes him more proud than to represent western Oklahoma. One of few Elk City products to play college basketball, Davis takes it upon himself to play hard and make everyone back home proud. Hearing his hometown announced during starting lineups is as a sweet as hearing his shot swish through the net.
"That puts a huge smile on my face," said Davis. "I know there are some people from western Oklahoma watching, and hearing their cheers makes me very humbled and excited at the same time. Hopefully, I have made them proud."

Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahann said organizers had been monitoring the weather moments before a violent summer gale toppled the main stage at the festival Sunday night.
"Honestly, what we've been told, it was a very unusual situation. The fact that (the storm) brought that stage down and nothing else came down in the park is just a freak situation," Monahann said.
Witnesses say Cheap Trick band members were thrown off their feet but got off the stage safely. Five people were hospitalized for their injuries but later released, Monahan said.
"Everyone is shaken up but band and crew are all fine...Everyone is okay and we are so lucky to be alive and hope that all the fans are okay too," the band, best known for hits including "Surrender", "I Want You to Want Me" and "The Flame", said in a message posted on Facebook.
Video posted on YouTube within minutes of the storm's passing showed a collpased stage that had been propelled backward before crumpling and damaging a tractor-trailer truck parked behind it. Twisted shards of metal jutted out from the stage, which stood several stories tall before it was destroyed.
Concert-goer Leanne Wilson said the stage slowly heaved backwards and caved in.
"In less than 10 seconds it was gone," she said. "(Cheap Trick) were playing right until it fell. And then instantly everybody was just running and screaming."
Monahan said the stage was rented from a Montreal firm and was inspected regularly during the festival. The Ministry of Labour is surveying the site and will produce a report on the accident.
Bluesfest is one of North America's main musical events. The festival first took place in 1994 and has since grown from a one-stage, three-day event to a multi-staged, 12-day music showcase featuring some of the best international talent.

As published at OpEd News, Dissident Voice, Common Dreams, CounterPunch, Information Clearing House, Signs of the Time and Intrepid Report, 2/25/12:
Americans are living on borrowed time, economically. Like air conditioners, copper pipes and aluminum siding of a foreclosed home, what remains of our prosperity will be violently stripped away. There is no economic recovery because the foundations for such are simply not there. Jobs still leave the country, and the only way we can compete with foreign slaves is to become slaves ourselves, and don't think for a moment that this isn't by design.
We fancy ourselves indebted middle-class, but this mirage is quickly evaporating. Most of us are indebted slaves. Banks conjure money out of thin air to enslave most of us for life. We must go into debt to buy a house, a car or go to school. Many of us go into debt just to eat. Like you, you and you, I will carry my shitty credit score to a mass paupers' grave, with my hearse a U-Haul. There is a renewed emphasis on going to college as a means to success, but in this economy, a degree will likely only impoverish you further, since you will be in hock to the banksters even as you work a job completely unrelated to your dubious education. If you can even get a job, that is. Joining winos and bag ladies with smudgy and off-target makeup will be legions of useless scholars.
Still, there are perks to being house slaves of the empire, since even homeless Americans sport brand name shoes, and our poor are generally the most obese, meaning they have enough to eat, even if what they're ingesting may shorten their lives by decades. We are unique in having thousands of fat people moving about on so-called mobility scooters, though their only handicap is overeating. Some of our grossest even star on TV, where they can sob in self-pity while competing to lose tonnage.
Though we may be stuffed and surrounded by stuff, our lives are not quite secure, because few of us own outright the roofs over our heads, as in many other countries, even if theirs are of tin or even grass. And since most of us owe more than we own, any financial slippage can mean an instant catastrophe. Surrounded by gadgets, an American can go from wealthy, by global standards, to being worse off than a Third-World slum dweller, if this Yank suddenly finds himself sleeping on a sidewalk, under a bridge or in a tent, when he's not being shooed away by cops. With no floor under us, what good are our cumbersome arrays of possessions?
In Philly, there is an elegant and homeless woman of about 55. Since shelters don't let you in until evening, if they accept you at all, and promptly kick you out by dawn, this woman has to spend all of her waking hours outside, like most homeless folks. What makes her unusual is the amount of stuff she's still trying to hang onto to, and I've seen her outside for nearly three years now. With a dozen or so boxes and bags, and an odd suitcase, she can only walk about 30 feet at a time, shifting each container one by one without losing sight of any of them.
Like individual Americans, America also spends more than it earns, a situation made possible only because this is an empire with military bases worldwide and war ships off every shore. We are an extortion racket the world is trying to shake off, and when that happens, our living standards will truly plummet. Many Americans like to depict themselves as the oppressed 99%, but from the world's perspective, we are an insufferable 5% that are milking the world dry when not bombing it into submission. As long as we partake in the ill-gotten fruit of empire, we are complicit in its crimes. We! Are! The 5% that will pulverize you if we don't get our ways!
Foot soldiers of empire, we do our share to prop it up, everyone from the poor who enlist to kill foreigners for bogus reasons, to spineless academics who stay clear of political taboos, to cynical journalists who mouth obvious nonsense daily. The Obama-voting liberal who drives an SUV and frets about gas price is a clear beneficiary of empire, but so am I, though I attack its bloody policies and own next to nothing. What I do buy would cost a lot more, however, if America withdrew all of its overseas goons. Without American missiles pointed at the world's temple, the dollar would become asswipe overnight. That's why even domestic foes of Bellum Americanum should be prepared to suffer personally for its cessation.
There are those who think that we can power down, trim our holdings and lose weight gracefully, that as this murderous edifice crumples, a saner arrangement will rise up, and I, too, hope that a humane revolution is in the offing, though I suspect that as the physical empire goes down, its worst mental aspects will blossom. Its ideology will harden and shoot. Deprived of their toys, many Americans will demand that their government does whatever is necessary to restore the good old days, so there will be more desperate wars, and more repression of those who oppose this American way of life. Meanwhile, the media will serve up opulent fantasies to feed a nostalgia for this lost and glorious past. The poorer we become, the richer we will look on television.
Americans will have less, and our lives will be harder, but no one wants to talk about this decline, least of all politicians, since that would be the quickest way to not get elected, but even if we had a wise and ethical leadership, our country would still go into decline, because the resources for infinite growth are simply not there. They never were, of course, since this is a finite planet, after all, where natural limits must be reached sooner or later. That moment is now, unfortunately.
Don't kid yourself that the fiery anger burning through Greece, Spain and elsewhere won't be but a tame prelude to what will happen here, what with our robust sense of entitlement, deep alienation and trigger happy ways. Our government seems to anticipate as much, for it has put into place all of the physical and legal means to clamp down on us hard, when things do explode.

Well said. You mention something that has alway irked me. On American TV, even waitresses and retail clerks own homes, even when they're single and have kids, and rather nice ones that are nicely furnished, and they drive decent cars, and they don't look like they have any money problems. Watch any TV show and this lie is everywhere, exported throughout the world. The truth, however, is so different it's almost hilarious. Go on any subway in New York and you'll see haggard, broken, deflated people just trying to make ends meet.

The photos on this blog are even more revealing than the article.
They show what appears to be a war zone, but the only war has been the class war of the 1% against the 99%.
No foreign enemy did this to the US, it was all done by patriots.
I agree with the previous comment--my guess is that the reason so many people still vote is because they are so addicted to TV that they believe the lies and are blind to the reality all around them.

IBARAKI, Japan (Reuters) - Panasonic Corp's panel display business should return to profit in the three months to March 31, as it decouples from Japan's struggling TV industry with stronger sales of LCD panels to makers of tablets and PCs, the head of the division said in an interview on Thursday.
"We are now making displays for more than 10 models of tablets and PCs," Yoshio Ito said at a former factory in the town of Ibaraki in Osaka, western Japan, once the hub of the company's TV production and which now serves as his headquarters and a research and development center.
Sales of small LCD panels will likely make up around 60 percent of the unit's sales in the October-March second half of the business year compared with 30 percent in the first six months, he said.
As Panasonic draws back from TVs it is looking to boost sales of smaller LCD panels used in tablet computers and mobile phones, a strategy also being pursued by local rival Sharp Corp.
In the three months to September 30, the company's audiovisual division posted a loss of 2.1 billion yen ($26 million), with sales down 7 percent from a year earlier. For the full year it cut its operating profit forecast for the unit to 36 billion yen from 121 billion yen.
Panasonic last month warned it will post a net loss of close to $10 billion in the year ending next March 31 as it writes off tax deferred assets and goodwill related to its mobile phones solar panels and small lithium batteries.

3 Ways to Make Raised Panels
We explore the best ways to raise a panel with a router, handplane or table saw.

Traditional raised panels appear in almost every furniture style since Roman times, though the way to make them varies wildly.
All the methods, however, fall into two different camps: One method is to use a tool that is specially designed to do the job, such as a panel-raising plane or a panel-raising router cutter. The other method is to use a basic woodworking tool (such as a table saw or a rabbet plane) and a little bit of cleverness to do the job.
In our shop at Popular Woodworking, we use at least three different methods to create raised panels for doors and drawer bottoms. What follows is a step-by-step tutorial in each.

Falcon's Defense on the rise.
Phillips has Falcons defense on the rise
By Vic Carucci
National Editor, NFL.com
Staying on top is hard work for Vick
GREENVILLE, S.C. (July 30, 2003) -- Every conversation about the Atlanta Falcons' chances of being a serious contender this season begins with the anticipation of bigger and better things from Michael Vick.
But the discussion can't end without a mention of the Falcons defense.
Last season, the unit made nice strides under the direction of Wade Phillips, in his first year as the Falcons' defensive coordinator. It finished second in the NFL with 39 takeaways, tied for fourth with 47 sacks, and was eighth in points allowed with 314. The point total is particularly impressive considering that the Falcons played in four overtime games.
Also impressive is the Falcons' defensive performance during playoff games against the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles. The Falcons stunned the Packers in Lambeau Field largely because they were able to hold them to a mere touchdown. They also did a reasonably solid job in a 20-6 divisional loss in Philadelphia a week later.
With some help in the secondary and greater familiarity with Phillips' 3-4 scheme, Atlanta's defense figures to lend solid support to what should be stronger production from Vick and the rest of the offense.
"We came a long ways last year, certainly," Phillips said. "We're confident going into this year, I know that. In the playoffs, we played outstanding. The two games we played, against two good offensive teams, we really shut both of them down. That's what we've addressed with our guys."
Let's go camping!
NFL.com's Vic Carucci and Pat Kirwan are cruising the country to bring you in-depth training camp coverage. Got an NFL question? Drop Vic an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Falcons defense has looked impressive through the early part of the team's Furman University training camp. Its members aren't the largest players around, but they are extremely fast and athletic -- qualities that help generate big plays.
"We've got to utilize our quickness," Phillips said. "We're not an overpowering defense."
At 6-foot-2 and 288 pounds, Ellis Johnson is small for a nose tackle. So is the other experienced player the Falcons have at the position -- 6-2, 293-pound Edward Jasper -- who has been out of action with a sore back. Therefore, the Falcons don't ask them to try and outmuscle opposing centers or try to tie up multiple interior blockers. They move them around and do a good deal of stunting.
The strength of the Falcons defense is the linebacking corps, led by Keith Brooking on the inside. He ranked second in the NFC last season with 110 tackles, 98 solo. At 5-11, fellow insider linebacker Chris Draft is relatively small, but he makes up for it with speed and aggressiveness.
Phillips likes to frequently include his linebackers in five-man rushes. That's because he has confidence in the coverage ability of his cornerbacks, Ray Buchanan and free-agent newcomer Tyrone Williams from Green Bay, as well as Tod McBride, another free-agent cornerback from the Packers who has been sidelined with a broken thumb, and second-round draft pick Bryan Scott from Penn State. Williams, McBride and Scott were acquired primarily because they are larger cornerbacks who are physical enough to match up with the increasing number of tall, strong receivers in the league.
Wade Phillips helped transformed Atlanta's defense into one of the league's best.
Phillips' creativity with his front seven as well as his attack-oriented philosophy has a lot to do with the Falcons' ability to pile up turnovers and sacks. "You can't do that playing base defense all the time," he said.
By utilizing the 3-4, which is making a strong comeback throughout the league, Phillips is convinced the Falcons are better able to do the zone blitzing that tends to be most effective against horizontal, West Coast-style passing teams. With four linebackers on the field, they are able to have enough defenders drop into coverage to replace those who are blitzing. And even if the blitzing doesn't generate sacks, it can throw off the all-important timing of the pass routes, which is the key to the West Coast's success.
"It allows you to attack their protection and make them throw it quicker than they want to," Phillips said.
But he is well aware that schemes don't guarantee success. The Falcons need their players to be disciplined in their responsibilities and continue to improve this summer.
"We've still got to keep from giving up big plays," Phillips said. "We've got to be sound. But we've got a real smart group. As they learned things last year, we got better and better. Now that they know those things going in, it really helps us.
"We've got some new people, but our core group, our front seven, is all there. They know what they're doing this year. It took about half a year last year to get to where we knew what our players could do and they knew what we wanted them to do."
If all goes according to Phillips' plan, by the start of the season they should be ready to provide the help Vick needs to make the Falcons a strong contender.

I was serious last week when I wondered what would happen if the White House were currently occupied by the first Jewish president and his hardcore partisan critics spent their days and nights broadcasting trumped-up allegations about how the president hated Christians. I still think there's no way the Beltway press corps wouldn't considers those kinds of allegations to be newsworthy, not to mention deplorable.
Rather than doing the right thing today, however, the press has taken a pass and pretended the hysterical, relentless race-baiting that's going on in the GOP press isn't newsworthy, let alone unprecedented, or deeply troubling.
The media silence is deafening and depressing. And trust me, the folks at Fox News get the message: Full steam ahead!
More on this next week, as vacation time is over. Have a great weekend.

Gilmanton police: Man had two kids in car during chaseBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
September 15. 2013 8:14PM
GILMANTON — A local man who police say has a lengthy motor vehicle record — including at least one drunk driving conviction — was arrested after police said he led them on a chase with two frightened children in the back seat.
The mother of one of the children, who allegedly allowed the man to drive the car, may also be charged, police said.
Sgt. Matt Currier said Sean Mulcahy, 41, of 15 Spaulding Road was arrested Saturday after refusing to stop for police sirens and blue lights and nearly hitting Currier's cruiser. The pursuit, which unfolded over more than three hours, focused on an approximately two-mile section of town near the Rainbo Club housing development.
Currier said he decided against a potential high-speed chase when he saw two girls, ages 7 and 9, riding in the back seat. "They looked terrified," Currier said. "I shut down the chase as soon as I saw their faces."
One of the girls was Mulcahy's daughter, Currier said. One was the daughter of the owner of the car, Amy Wentworth, 39.
Currier said police had been alerted by a caller from Alton just after 1 p.m. to a possible drunk driver in a 2003 Mercury Sable in the area. A car matching that description passed by on Places Mill Road, continuing onto Crystal Lake Road. Currier said he recognized the driver as Mulcahy, who is "known to (local police) extensively" because of his driving record.
Currier said he followed the car along Crystal Lake Road in a slow pursuit. Mulcahy put about a half-mile between himself and Currier, and then pulled over and ran out of the car, leaving the two children inside. The girls were taken into custody and eventually turned over to family members.
Currier said Mulcahy then took a Jeep parked outside a nearby Perkins Pond home that had the keys in the ignition and drove it a short distance, before seeing Currier and his cruiser on Hill Road, at which point Mulcahy fled the Jeep on foot.
Gilmanton and Alton police officers were aided in a foot search by the Gilford Police Department's police dog, but the dog was unable to locate Mulcahy, he said.
Finally, police spotted Mulcahy in another car as it drove along near the Rainbo Club housing development on Crystal Lake Road about 4:30 p.m.
"He was a passenger in a car with some of his friends, and we knew of them, too," Currier said.
Mulcahy, who does not have a valid license because of past driving convictions, had alcohol on his breath when he was arrested, Currier said.
Mulcahy was charged with operating while being a habitual offender, endangering the welfare of a minor, disobeying a police officer and theft of a motor vehicle. He was being held Sunday at the Belknap County Jail on $3,000 cash bail.
Currier said police are considering charging Wentworth with allowing an improper person to drive a vehicle, a misdemeanor.

Mom, do you ever feel like your boys may be driving you to an early grave? You might right about that.
Having multiple sons may shorten women's lives more than having daughters, according to new research.
The findings, which are a bit dated given that they come from a group of Finnish women born mostly before industrialization, suggest that cultural differences in how sons and daughters have historically been raised may affect women's life spans.
Plus: Boys vs Girls: Who's Hard to Raise
The study, published today in the journal Biology Letters, surveyed the records of 11,000 women and found that more sons were tied to shorter life spans after the final birth. But the findings are correlational: they don't prove having sons directly results in shorter lives for their moms.
And because the effect varies across the world, social and environmental factors, rather than biological effects, may be to blame.
"Adult sons may be beneficial for their parental well-being and thus survival in some countries, but girls may be beneficial in other countries," study co-author Samuli Helle, an evolutionary ecologist at the University of Turku in Finland, wrote in an email to Live Science.

Think that Second Life is a safe haven for your kids?

She apparently went to his Delaware apartment with a stun gun, handcuffs, and the always necessary duct tape. Although she fled when he got home, the man called the police. Now the woman faces charges including attempted kidnapping. Jernigan is being held on $65,000 bail.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said risks persist in wholesale funding markets used frequently by Wall Street brokers to finance securities trading.
"Important risks remain in the short-term wholesale funding markets," Bernanke said today in a speech at a Chicago Fed banking conference. "One of the key risks is how the system would respond to the failure of a broker-dealer or other major borrower."
Bernanke outlined how the Fed has overhauled risk monitoring since a collapse in mortgage finance triggered a crisis in 2008 that led to the worst recession since the Great Depression.
"More work is needed to better prepare investors and other market participants to deal with the potential consequences of a default by a large participant in the repo market," Bernanke said. He said that the "possibility of a run" on money-market funds remains.
Bernanke said the financial crisis revealed that the market for repurchase agreement funding -- where a securities dealer uses collateral for short-term loans with an agreement to reverse the transaction later -- was "quite fragile."
"As questions emerged about the nature and value of collateral" during the crisis, "worried lenders either greatly increased margin requirements or, more commonly, pulled back entirely," the Fed chairman said. "Borrowers unable to meet margin calls and finance their asset holdings were forced to sell, driving down asset prices further and setting off a cycle of deleveraging and further asset liquidation."
Transform Risks
Bernanke said researchers at the U.S. Treasury and the Fed are attempting to construct data sets on triparty and bilateral repo transactions to help better monitor activity. The Fed is also looking at ways dealers may be funding less-liquid assets or transforming risks "from forms that are more easily measured to forms that are more opaque."
The Fed chief has elevated market and institutional surveillance to an equal footing with macroeconomic research and forecasting, establishing the Office of Financial Stability Policy and Research headed by PhD economist Nellie Liang.
Part of Liang's mission is to look beyond the banking system to risks that may arise in areas such as real estate investment trusts or bond finance for high-risk companies.
"Financial stability monitoring is distinct from supervision because of its focus on the risks for the whole financial system, in both regulated and non-regulated institutions and markets," Liang and two other Fed economists said in a research paper published by the central bank last month.

I don't really perceive the magnitude of the fuss of yesterday. Maybe it was a big deal for Jesus being found in the Temple. But probably not, eh?
I lived through the 12:34:56 moment on 7-8-90. It was an okay lunch hour. I remember where I was that day, but not what I ate.
For number people, consider next week's big triple. 20:12 (that's 8:12pm for you non-Europeans) on 20-12 (that's December 20th, again, for you non-Europeans) in our beloved year of 2012.
