Nearly one-third of Native American genes come from west Eurasian people linked to the Middle East and Europe, rather than entirely from East Asians as previously thought, according to a newly sequenced genome.
Based on the arm bone of a 24,000-year-old Siberian youth, the research could uncover new origins for America's indigenous peoples, as well as stir up fresh debate on Native American identities, experts say.
The study authors believe the new study could also help resolve some long-standing puzzles on the peopling of the New World, which include genetic oddities and archaeological inconsistencies. (Explore an atlas of the human journey.)
"These results were a great surprise to us," said study co-author and ancient-DNA specialist Eske Willerslev, of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
"I hadn't expected anything like this. A genome related to present-day western Eurasian populations and modern Native Americans as well was really puzzling in the beginning. How could this happen?"
So what's new?
The arm bone of a three-year-old boy from the Mal'ta site near the shores of Lake Baikal in south-central Siberia (map) yielded what may be the oldest genome of modern humans ever sequenced.
DNA from the remains revealed genes found today in western Eurasians in the Middle East and Europe, as well as other aspects unique to Native Americans, but no evidence of any relation to modern East Asians. (Related: "Is This Russian Landscape the Birthplace of Native Americans?")
A second individual genome sequenced from material found at the site and dated to 17,000 years ago revealed a similar genetic structure.
It also provided evidence that humans occupied this region of Siberia throughout the entire brutally cold period of the Last Glacial Maximum, which ended about 13,000 years ago.
Why is it important?
Prevailing theories suggest that Native Americans are descended from a group of East Asians who crossed the Bering Sea via a land bridge perhaps 16,500 years ago, though some sites may evidence an earlier arrival. (See "Siberian, Native American Languages Linked—A First [2008].")
"This study changes this idea because it shows that a significant minority of Native American ancestry actually derives not from East Asia but from a people related to present-day western Eurasians," Willerslev said.
"It's approximately one-third of the genome, and that is a lot," he added. "So in that regard I think it's changing quite a bit of the history."
While the land bridge still formed the gateway to America, the study now portrays Native Americans as a group derived from the meeting of two different populations, one ancestral to East Asians and the other related to western Eurasians, explained Willerslev, whose research was published in the November 20 edition of the journal Nature.
"The meeting of those two groups is what formed Native Americans as we know them." (Learn more about National Geographic's Genographic Project.)
What does this mean?
Willerslev believes the discovery provides simpler and more likely explanations to long-standing controversies related to the peopling of the Americas.
"Although we know that North Americans are related to East Asians, it's striking that no contemporary East Asian populations really resemble Native Americans," he said.
"It's not like you can say that they are really closely related to Japanese, Chinese, or Koreans, so there seems to be something missing. But this result makes a lot of sense regarding why they don't fit so well genetically with contemporary East Asians—because one-third of their genome is derived from another population."
The findings could also allow reinterpretation of archaeological and anthropological evidence, like the famed Kennewick Man, whose remains don't look much like modern-day Native American or East Asian populations, according to some interpretations.
"Maybe, if he looks like something else, it's because a third of his ancestry isn't coming from East Asia but from something like the western Eurasians." (Read about history's great migration mysteries.)
What's next?
Many questions remain unanswered, including where and when the mixing of west Eurasian and East Asian populations occurred.
"It could have been somewhere in Siberia or potentially in the New World," Willerslev said.
"I think it's much more likely that it occurred in the Old World. But the only way to address that question would be to sequence more ancient skeletons of Native Americans and also Siberians."
Intriguing questions also exist about the nature of the advanced Upper Paleolithic Mal'ta society that now appears to figure in Native American genomes.
The Siberian child "was found buried with all kinds of cultural items, including Venus figurines, which have been found from Lake Baikal west all the way to Europe.
"So now we know that the individual represented with this culture is a western Eurasian, even though he was found very far east. It's an interesting question how closely related this individual might have been to the individuals carving these figurines at the same time in Europe and elsewhere."
To My Fellow Mormons,
I can appreciate your expressions of faith and testimony, but please think critically AND READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE before claiming this validates the BOM. If anything, it supports an alternate conclusion. Most likely there is no connection. The dates don't match (at all!) and the region of this finding is quite far from the Americas. What this finding indicates is that any Middle Eastern genes in the American pool likely migrated from western europe, not overseas. Additionally, it is but one finding, a long way from home. Grabbing at straws makes us appear desperate to defend our faith. It needs no defense but our good works. Some of the debates going on here do not paint us in a good light. Some comments are frankly ignorant and others, at best, display a disappointing lack of understanding of basic scientific theory. Please stop!
Wow, i didn't even notice how many people mentioned the Book of Mormon until I looked at the other posts! I just want to second what has been said, that the Book of Mormon is a true account of an ancient family who left Jerusalem in a search of a joyful life. I believe that they were led by God, and a loving god at that. I believe this because i wanted to know if it was real and i found that yes, yes it is. God will answer your question as well if you look for it and ask.
a book called the book of mormon have the answers to the questions you are looking for. it gives a detailed genealogy of the native americans running back 600 - 2000 bc. you will learn of the first people to set foot in the americas,va why they went and what their purpose was. just letting you guys know. thanks!

While presently the date given for this arm bone from Russia does not conform to The Book of Mormon chronology at 24,000 years old, the finding that west Eurasians or middle Eastern peoples have the same DNA background as Native Americans does.
Many of us do not support the much to old dating results of carbon-14 testing.
Regarding the DNA findings, it is now no long unpopular or unscientific to say that Native Americans have a very strong relationship to Hebrews, Russians and other middle eastern or west Eurasian groups. Formerly, there was only a 4% (haplo group X) DNA relationship between these groups; today we see there is at least a 33% DNA relationship.
Science again takes a giant leap toward the revealed words found in the Biblical and The Book of Mormon scriptures. National Geographic and Nature do not endorse the Bible or The Book of Mormon, yet this article in part takes a giant leap toward seeing eye to eye with them regarding the history and origins of Native Americans. The rest is yet to be seen.
Congratulations to Nature and National Geographic for publishing this article.
While the given date of this arm bone does not fit The Book of Mormon chronology, the West Eurasian or Middle Eastern origin of one-third of Native American genes does. Many of us don't accept the far too old results or dating produced from carbon-14 testing that archaeologists are using today. Previously, there were only 4% Middle Eastern (haplo group X) genes found in Native American DNA; today that has increased to 33% As it has partially in this article, we must wait and see for science to again take a giant leap toward divinely revealed knowledge! It should be no longer unpopular or unscientific to speak of Hebrews, Russians and Native Americans as of the same DNA backgrounds! This article does in part support the message of The Book of Mormon. The rest it yet to be seen.
This data is consistent with two different sets of records of Native Americans, one dating from 600 b.c. and another from around 2300 b.c. For more information, visit lds.org and search "Book of Mormon". There are videos, articles of archaeology, and the records themselves. What have you got to lose?

The Book of Mormon is true
The descendants of the Eurasians are no more native than those of the Europeans, their ancestors just arrived here first. What more obvious politically correct lie can there be than to continually refer to them as "native," Better we refer to them as "First Nations" as the Canadians do.

this could be why in autosohmnal dna testing of indigenous american decendants/claimants ; why they show alot of indigenous european or western eurasian in contrast to the east asian/siberian markers; their native ancestors may have been more of the west asiatic branch of the indigenous american genomes; most of the colonial era europeans came from western europe; often with western eurasian genes; and settled ; the region; as well as provided a majority poppulace contribution ;while fighting native peoples sometimes; whom may have actually been their eastward biological brethren; just a thought
Now maybe the rest of the world might understand what the norwegian scientist Thor Heyerdahl was up to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Heyerdahl#Boats_Ra_and_Ra_II
Mormons can spike the football over this article all they want. What I want them to really do is start digging at the hill Cumorah. There was an epic battle here where millions of people died, right? Lets' get the shovels and find the bones, the swords, the arrows etc.
Older ruins from the ancient Greeks and Romans exist, so where are the millions of bones from the Book of Mormon battlefield? Also, Brigham Young once quoted Joseph Smith saying there were 'wagon loads of plates buried in Cumorah." Once again, let's get the shovel and dig them up!
Mormons want to call this evidence. Fine. Let's find some more evidence. Dig up the Hill Cumorah and let's see what's buried there. My guess: nothing.
Ya'll chill.
—a mormon who loves science, non-mormons, civil discourse/friendly conversation.
The first North American natives did NOT cross over on a land bridge. The movements of prey would not account for it, recent findings have concluded. Not everyone at Neo Geo is up to snuff about that. They came more likely by boat, down the coast of Alaska, down the coast of North America, then down Central and South America.
"I think it's much more likely that [mixing of west Eurasian and east Asian] occurred in the Old World."
That makes absolutely no sense. Were it true we would see the same mixture in the Old World, and spread throughout the trail going to N.A.
More proof that the anthropological community is really stuck in the mud on this issue. The truth is screaming at them in the face and they still fail to see what it's saying: People came from all over, meeting in the western world.
Anyone who looks among current Native American/First Nations DNA for connections to Jews will find Jewish DNA because many of the early Spanish colonists were Conversos, Jews who chose to convert to Christianity rather than be expelled from Spain in 1492. A large percentage of modern Spanish men carry the Cohen gene identified with descendants of the tribe of Levi. Humanity is much more complicated than most people appreciate.
Is this your guys' "science"? Everything is figured out inside a lab? Early historians -short after Columbus- documented this BY TALKING with the Indians about their history. Now science is catching up, good. But isn't this a proof that science is behind rather than ahead? Why then despise religion and faith, as well as the other "uneducated" things of life?
As a believing Mormon, active in his faith, let me state clearly: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK OF MORMON. THE MIGRATION BEING DESCRIBED HERE IS TOO EARLY. DEAR MORMONS AND NON-MORMONS TAKE YOUR BOOK OF MORMON HISTORICITY DEBATE SOMEWHERE ELSE. THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE. Thank you:)
Mormons have know this all along from what I hear. They say there were peoples what came over from Jerusalem (pre-destruction) and landed in the America's before there were people. If their gospel is true...this article just confirmed it. WOW
@Kurt Lippmann this article mentions that the population groups still came through East Asia (by land, NOT the seafaring passages described in the BoM), and it happened more than 10,000 years ago, during the ice age. Please feel free to explain how a 10,000-15,000 year old population group, walking across the Bering land bridge to North America, fits into your Book of Mormon story line.
Fellow Book of Mormon believer as you. However, one thing that irritates me about the LDS Church, is they constantly say the Book of Mormon is "true", but never take the time to show it.
Don't make statements to people, unless you're going to back them with good reasoned facts. Just because you know and can see the truth for yourself, does not help those who cannot.
Remember like doubting Thomas with Christ, Thomas himself a skeptic, many are skeptical of the Book of Mormon. Show them they don't have to worry. Show them why it's claims are true.
Every objection the skeptics have actually is a question as to why they should believe what you believe.
God Bless
@Kurt Lippmann The Book of Mormon and the Mormon church claim that native americans are direct descendants from jews who left Jerusalen 600 years before Christ. No DNA finding corroborates that; on the contrary, this finding highlights the fact that whatever "middle-eastern" or "jew" gene composition native americans have come from more than 10.000 years ago, not 600 BC. This makes the claims of the BoM and the Mormon church false.
@James Pecka If 10,000 years doesn't make a difference, then please tell me what you consider "native"? Because with your logic there is also no such thing as native Europeans, native Siberians, etc. Considering the human species and first civilizations were recorded in Mesopotamia. And any other cultures in the beginning were ENTIRELY nomadic. By your logic, the word "native" itself has been rendered COMPLETELY inapplicable to any situation or culture. I like to think that thousands of years of settlement in the Americas is enough to qualify a culture as "native". Particularly considering they had already lost their "mother tongue", "mother culture", and any history from the time of their nomadic ancestors. They had developed an entirely separate set of cultures that had known no other land than the Americas. That's about as native as it gets, my friend.
@James Wilmons Let's try doing what the Book of Mormon says...don't take my word for it, don't take your friends word for it, don't take some missionary's word for it. Read the Book, Ponder it in your heart, then pray and ask God, the Eternal Father if it is true. And the promise from a Book of Mormon prophet is that if you follow that protocol, asking with a sincere heart, with real intent and faith, that God will answer your prayer. Then, if God tells you it is true, stop the arguing. If God tells you it is false, then by all means, please correct all of our wrongs.
@James WilmonsRead some more LDS history. It's generally known that the hill Cumorah in The Book of Mormon is not the hill in upstate New York now popularly called that.
@James Wilmons Read some more LDS history. The hill in New York popularly called "Cumorah" not is not the hill Cumorah in The Book of Mormon.
@James WilmonsRead some more LDS history. According to the LDS historical thread, the hill in New York now popularly called "Cumorah" not is not the hill Cumorah in The Book of Mormon.
@James Wilmons Answer by a DNA expert to the Mormon spiking: The 2013 study in question was on nuclear DNA (not mitochondrial or Y-chromosome) isolated from 24,000-year-old remains recovered in Siberia. It was observed that about one-third of the individuals DNA originated in Europe or West Asia. That is not very surprising for someone living 24,000 years ago in Siberia and it certainly does not challenge any of the conclusions derived from mitochondrial or Y-chromosome DNA. Simon Sutherland
Okay. Show me where to dig, and I will.
@craig hill I am a diffusionist and I believe that men and women have been building boats and sailing the ocean ever since Noah built one.
I'm sorry, but you need to review the weather reports from the Aleutians and the North Pacific on down the Pacific Coast of British Columbia. Those are, quite simply, among the coldest and inhospitable places in the Northern Hemisphere. It's absurd to suggest humans migrated here along that route, although possibly reasonable from areas a little north of Puget Sound southward. Maritime seafaring requires many generations for the technology to evolve, and the Eskimo/Aleut culture was among the last to appear on the human cultural timeline. One claim was made that since the pre-Holocene coastlines could support bears, it could surely support humans as well. That one fails to take into account that bears hibernate, and people don't.
For those of us who've followed the research on N/A origins, there's nothing remarkable in these findings. It's been apparent for a long time now that the Altai region was home to Old World populations most closely related to Native Americans. Within original populations in Canada and the northern Rockies on down to the American Southwest is the "X haplogroup" of mitchondrial DNA. This was seen as proof of European/North American "connections," but what it shows instead--because of the age of "X" in this hemisphere--is simply they had a common ancestor after all of our progenitors left Africa and headed to points north, east, and west.
Finally, for those who doubt the connection between Mongolia and North America, I recommend looking closely at this picture.
@Pedro Olavarria Bull you obviously have not heard of the dating controversy Phylogenetic vs Pedigree dating Pedigree dating is actual blood samples and Phylo is theory based. real data vs theory. Adam and eve are really our first parents period.
@Pedro Olavarria that would be true if you accept phylogenetic dating above pedigree dating. Phylogenetic/Theory based dating vs Pedigree dating which is supported by actual blood sample observance of a much faster mutation rate. TWO seperate studies both coming in that the pedigree sample mutation happens Much faster than once thought.
@Pedro Olavarria The caps do not help with your message. It is just simply ignored.
@Pedro Olavarria I agree. The only relevance is that people who smugly declare that current accepted scientific theories about human migrations and ancestry exclude the possibility of the connections described in the (millennia later) Book of Mormon (circa 2000 BCE and 600 BCE) don't really have a comprehensive knowledge of human prehistory. And that includes DNA evidence.
@Kurt Lippmann The Book of Mormon and the Mormon church claim that native americans are direct descendants from jews who left Jerusalen 600 years before Christ. No DNA finding corroborates that; on the contrary, this finding highlights the fact that whatever "middle-eastern" or "jew" gene composition native americans have come from more than 10.000 years ago, not 600 BC.

We believe that when the Book of Mormon was translated, a large portion of it was sealed. This portion was in large part a history of the people. It is my personal belief that much of what we know through science today still goes along with our doctrine. God has said upon multiple occasions through his prophet that not everything has been revealed. The time issue as well as the implication that they came by land rather than sea is interesting. It may have been that they sailed the Pacific rather than the Atlantic and traversing all of Asia would actually fit the time line of 1 Nephi, the first book within the Book of Mormon.
Here, however, is another question to ponder: how accurate is carbon dating? Is it possible that there was a human error somewhere? If it is correct, is there a possibility that the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon which has yet to be translated will answer these questions and solve these disputes?
To the latter question, my answer is a firm yes. I do believe in this church. I understand doubts people might have. I had them too. But doubts don't invalidate. I believe in doubting my doubts BEFORE I doubt my faith.
The questions that have been brought up are valid. They are things that need to be thought about. Whatever anyone else believes is their own choice. I'm just here as a kind advocate for the Book of Mormon as well as the LDS church.
@Terry Vas On the assumption that Carbon dating is 100% accurate we would all have to agree with your statement that the specific claim made by the Book of Mormon was false, however, if carbon dating isn't 100% accurate then it would not discredit the claim made by the Book of Mormon, but would possibly add another potential piece of archaeological evidence in support of the claims made in the Book of Mormon.
@Terry Vasthat is if you accept Phylogenetic theory based dating over pedigree actual blood tested mutation rate dating. The mutation speed is in question so the dates could be WAY off. http://ili.nativeweb.org/sdrm_art.html
@Terry Vas Jaradites...
@Dale Wight @James Wilmonsthere is only one cumorah
@Randy Wright By your logic, the land pass would be equally inhospitable and impossible due to the freezing climate. Just food for thought.
@Raymond Swenson @Pedro OlavarriaIndeed, that shows you how misinformed many mormons are about their claims. They are looking for any development, as shallow as can be, to justify "their beliefs". One thing: they will not find reasurance from science or history.
@Terry Vas @Daysha Lassiter @Kurt Lippmann The Book of Mormon claims that there was an earlier group that also came way before 600BC the group that came at 600BC came and there were other groups of people here.
@Eric Davis @Skyler Baird Jaredite dates are highly speculative anyway, as you say, (roughly) and this is a first pass, at best. Nothing precludes previous immigrations in any of this. Pretty cool study. You cannot prove non-existence just what is there...
@Eric Davis @Skyler Baird It would also be quite a leap of Faith to believe that Heavenly Father sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, down to the earth to live a perfect life and atone for our sins. Then, after He was crucified He was resurrected 3 days later
@Skyler Baird According to the BoM, the Jaredites came to the Americas following the Tower of Babel (roughly 2200 BC). The population groups described in this article arrived in America sometime between 10,000-15,000 years ago. That's quite a leap of faith one must take, in order to make that connection. About an 8,000 year leap (for those keeping score at home).

Can spiritual intelligence improve workplaces?
If you have ever dreaded going to work each day because you felt your job lacked meaning, you're not alone. It's a common sentiment in the business world, according to Nsombi Jaja, a management consultant and graduate of the University of Phoenix Doctor of Business Administration program.
"There are so many people who view work as something that must be endured rather than enjoyed," Jaja says. "But in an organization where people's spirits are nurtured and where they find real meaning in their work — can you imagine the creativity and innovation that would be unleashed?"
Jaja spent almost 30 years doing quality-management consulting — helping companies improve their products, business processes and branding — before pursuing her doctorate.
"Quality management is a set of tools and processes that, when combined, help an organization prepare and deliver products and services more efficiently," she explains. "The processes are highly technical, but it's the human component that holds it all together. And here is where I found a missing gap."
If we don't develop and use [our spiritual dimension], we become unbalanced, like a chair with a missing leg.
When she went abroad to study, Jaja learned there could be another component to quality management. "When I was studying quality management in Japan, one of my professors said that the purpose of the quality management industry is to improve … peoples' lives throughout the world," she notes. "That had a profound effect on me."
She began searching for ways to tap into human potential when helping her clients, which range from governmental agencies and nonprofits to banking institutions and manufacturing companies.
By the mid-1990s, Jaja became intrigued by the concept of spiritual intelligence, inspired in part by Daniel Goleman's best-selling book "Emotional Intelligence," or "EQ," which entered the pop-culture lexicon after a 1995 article on EQ in Time magazine.
Spiritual intelligence goes deeper than just understanding emotions, Jaja notes, citing the work of Danah Zohar, speaker and author of "Spiritual Capital," who defines it as the ability to access higher meanings, values and purposes, resulting in a richer and more creative life.
Jaja uses the PsychoMatrix Spirituality Inventory developed by Richard Wolman, PhD, to measure an organization's level of spiritual intelligence, stressing that the concept has no direct connection to religion. "We all have a spiritual dimension," she says. "But if we don't develop and use it, we become unbalanced, like a chair with a missing leg."
She developed a presentation on how companies can nurture the human spirit in the workplace "to help create and find meaning in work," she explains, and then she began selling that content to businesses. Her first client was the Central Bank of Jamaica. "The human component is so important to the performance of organizations," Jaja emphasizes. "It makes sense to nurture it."
Pursuing her doctorate helped Jaja gain a deeper understanding of how spiritual intelligence can add value to the workplace, while also nourishing her own spirit, she says. "At the end of the day," she notes, "it is the human component that creates the value and determines profitability and growth."

Picasso Looks at Degas
The Barnes is blessed with extraordinary examples of works by these two great artists. Picasso was an artist who observed and absorbed the work of other artists throughout his long life. Of all the masters he admired, Edgar Degas played an unexpectedly important role during much of the younger artist's career. Although the two were neighbors in Montmartre for several years before Degas's death in 1917, there is no evidence that they ever met. Yet the cafés, stage performers, bathers, and ballerinas that Degas typically depicted also appear repeatedly in Picasso's images. Volunteer and Gallery Guide Manager Pam Birmingham looks briefly at the important role Degas played for Picasso, the man and the artist.December 13, 2013

BIDEN: US-CHINA TIES RELY ON TRUST, GOOD MOTIVESWednesday, 04 December 2013 06:51 Published in National News
BEIJING (AP) — Emerging from a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that U.S.-China relations depend on trust and a positive notion of each other's motives. Neither leader made public mention of a major clash over disputed airspace that's pitted China against the U.S. and its Asian allies.
Appearing somber and subdued, Biden said the relationship between the two major powers will significantly affect the course of the 21st century. If the U.S. and China can get that relationship right, the possibilities are limitless, Biden said as reporters were allowed in briefly at the conclusion of the meeting in Beijing.
"Complex relationships require sustained, high-level engagement, and that's why I'm here," Biden said after a meeting than ran more than an hour longer than scheduled. Biden and Xi had a second, expanded meeting and a working dinner planned for later Wednesday.
Absent from Biden's comments was any discussion of U.S. concerns over China's new air defense zone. In Tokyo a day earlier, Biden pledged to raise those concerns "with great specificity" with Xi and other Chinese leaders, adding that China's move was deeply concerning.
"This action has raised regional tensions and increased the risk of accidents and miscalculation," Biden said Tuesday after meeting with Japanese President Shinzo Abe, whose government has been on edge for the past two weeks since China unilaterally asserted its authority over airspace above tiny islands that China and Japan both claim.
For his part, Xi said the relationship between the U.S. and China had gotten off to a good start this year "and has generally maintained a momentum of positive development." But he said the situation in the region and around the world is changing, with more pronounced challenges and regional hotspots that keep cropping up.
"The world as a whole is not tranquil," Xi said through a translator, adding that the U.S. and China shoulder important responsibilities for upholding peace. "To strengthen dialogue and cooperation is the only right choice facing both of our countries."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Rookie Tyler Toffoli scored two goals, Jarret Stoll also tallied and Ben Scrivens made 25 saves for the Los Angeles Kings in a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.
Scrivens, who has performed brilliantly in place of the injured Jonathan Quick, was heading toward his fourth shutout of the season when Kevin Shattenkirk and Vladimir Tarasenko scored in the final 5:54. Scrivens has given up fewer than three goals in each of his last 10 starts and has posted two shutouts since Quick went on injured reserve with a Grade Two groin strain on Nov. 12 at Buffalo.
Los Angeles has allowed fewer than three goals in a franchise-record 13 consecutive games. The streak includes a pair of 3-2 shootout losses to Buffalo and San Jose.
Jaroslav Halak made 20 saves for the Blues, who have lost consecutive games in regulation for the first time this season following their 6-3 defeat at San Jose on Friday. Halak had allowed just five goals in his previous five starts after getting pulled with a 3-0 deficit in the first period of a 4-1 loss at Washington on Nov. 17.
The Kings, who hadn't had a first-period goal in any of their previous four home games - all losses - opened the scoring at the 10:38 mark. Stoll got the puck from Justin Williams near the top of the left circle and took a 40-foot wrist shot that glanced off defenseman Barret Jackman's leg and past Halak with Dustin Brown screening the goalie.
Toffoli made it 2-0 at 16:13 of the period, beating Halak from short range after Drew Doughty's long snap shot from the high slot deflected off Toffoli's stick and Halak's right shoulder before hitting the crossbar. He gave the Kings a three-goal cushion at 5:48 of the second, scoring from the low slot after Willie Mitchell's wrist shot from the left point caromed off teammate Mike Richards.
Toffoli, a 21-year-old center who was taken in the second round of the 2010 draft, has six goals and 11 points in 14 games since he was recalled from the minors on Nov. 2 - and four of his goals have been game-winners. His only other two-goal game in the NHL was on November 9 at Staples Center in a 5-1 win over Vancouver.
NOTES: St. Louis has yet to be shut out this season. ... The Kings eliminated the Blues from the playoffs in each of the previous two seasons. In 2012, they beat St. Louis in the second round on the way to their first Stanley Cup title. The Blues, who entered the NHL with the Kings in the 1967 expansion, are still looking for their first Cup. ... Kings captain Dustin Brown has been held to a goal and an assist in his last 13 games. ... Los Angeles C Jeff Carter, playing in his fourth game after missing the previous 10 because of a lower body injury, carried the puck into the Blues' zone and took a 50-wrist shot that beat Halak to the stick side - but hit the left post with 9 1-2 minutes into the second period. ... The Kings are 8-0-0 when leading after two periods. ... Los Angeles is 0 for 20 on the power play over its last six games.

AUTO SALES LIVE: INDUSTRY MOMENTUM ROLLS ONTuesday, 03 December 2013 10:51 Published in National News
The holiday weekend and an ongoing shift from cars to small SUVs boosted the auto industry in November.
Buyers took advantage of Black Friday deals, and analysts say the late-month surge likely boosted November sales above a strong month last year.
Chrysler kicked off the sales reports by topping expectations with a gain of 16 percent. General Motors posted an increase of 14 percent while Ford sales rose 7 percent. Toyota had a 10 percent increase while Nissan sales rose 11 percent.
Here's a running account of sales reports for the day, presented in reverse chronological order. All times are EST.
--- 11:15 a.m.: Americans love a rivalry. In the annual battle between the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro, the Camaro is set to win the 2013 contest. Year to date, the Chevy has sales of 75,552, compared with 71,540 for the Ford model. Ford rolls out the latest version of the popular pony car this week, with events around the country.
--- 11:00 a.m.: Little slowdown in pickups: Ford sold 65,501 F-Series pickup trucks in November, the seventh straight month where sales topped 60,000. Consider that it takes the company more than two months to sell that many Fusion midsize cars or Escape SUVs, Ford next best-selling vehicles. GM sold 48,748 Chevy Silverados and GMC Sierras combined, while Chrysler says Ram pickup sales totaled 29,635.
--- 10:50 a.m.: GM likes the big picture. Kurt McNeil, GM's U.S. sales chief, said the company feels good about the overall economy and its own sales momentum. "The economy is creating jobs and household wealth," he said. "Energy costs are dropping and credit is available and affordable. All of this bodes well for future growth."
--- 10:40 a.m. It's electric: Sales of the Chevy Volt gained 26 percent to 1,920, while sales of the Nissan Leaf jumped 30 percent to 2,003. Although the two are the best-selling electric vehicles in the U.S., more attention lately has been focused on the Tesla Model S, which sells for about twice the price. The Model S has exceeded sales expectations, but is also the subject of a government investigation after two of the vehicles experienced fires.
--- 10:30 a.m.: With a big month for sales of the Jeep Cherokee, Chrysler took advantage of a shift in the market toward smaller SUVs. Erich Merkle, Ford's top sales analyst, said small crossover SUVs like the Cherokee and Ford Escape continued to gobble up market share during November, gaining two full percentage points over a year ago to 15.5 percent of U.S. sales. The gains came at the expense of small and midsize cars. Midsize cars fell one point to 14.5 percent, while small cars dropped a point to around 20 percent, Merkle said.
--- 10:10 a.m.: Thanksgiving turkey apparently didn't make car buyers sleepy. Toyota credited the holiday weekend with pushing its sales gains to 10 percent.
"Showroom traffic surged over the holiday weekend for Toyota, indicating good momentum we expect to continue through the end of the year and into 2014," said Bill Fay, Toyota division group vice president and general manager.
--- 10 a.m.: General Motors reports a sales increase of 14 percent, led by pickups, the Chevy Tahoe SUV and the Chevy Impala large car.
--- 9:45 a.m.: Ford sales rose 7 percent last month. Sales of F-Series pickups gained 16 percent, and the midsize Fusion rose 51 percent. But the Focus small car slumped, with a decline of 17 percent.
--- 9:20 a.m. The star for Chrysler is the all-new Cherokee small sports utility vehicle. Delayed for months while engineers tinkered with the transmission, the Cherokee notched a rate achievement in November: Sales of more than 10,000 in its first full month on the market.
"That is a big number," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of auto sales forecasting for LMC Automotive, an industry consulting firm.
--- 8 a.m. Chrysler beats expectations for an increase of around 10 percent. The Auburn Hills, Mich., company sells 142,275 cars and trucks last month, up from 122,565 a year ago.
The Chrysler brand gains 12 percent as dealers sell 11,288 Town & Country minivans, up 70 percent from the same month last year. The pickup boom rolls on — Ram sales gained 22 percent.
--7:45 a.m. Analysts expect November industry sales to rise from 3.6 percent to 6.3 percent. Here's a recap of forecasts from companies that track sales and also provide car-buying advice:
— TrueCar.com: sales of 1.21 million, up 6.3 percent.
— Edmunds.com: sales of 1.2 million, up 4.7 percent.
— Kelly Blue Book: sales of 1.19 million, up 3.6 percent.

The QueryDOM library is a DOM-based technology whose purpose is the generation of SQL queries at runtime. It's based on a single model representation of the query to be rendered. To represent the SQL query, QueryDOM elements are linked to each other to form a data structure known as the QueryDOM graph, which models the structure of the SQL grammar. The QueryDOM defines types representing the logical structure of the query string in a way that is independent from the specific DBMS. The object model is simple to extend for specific database features.

If the flue runs through conditioned space it adds a modest amount to the heat load though, with cool combustion air pulling heat from the masonry on it's way to the boiler. Most sealed combustion systems have air intakes that are far shorter than a flue, often routed solely in semi-conditioned space such as unfinished basements.

The use of voice recognition in other sections of the note, in particular the assessment and plan, also serves to make the note truly unique and a far better protection from a negative audit than notes generated from cloning older notes and/or using templates. Auditors will focus on the assessment to determine the level of complexity of medical decision making, which many feel should be the principle component used to determine the level of service for the encounter.
I was recently in the room with some of the greatest legal minds in my state. I was enthralled in the witty banter and amazed by their natural talent, skills and understanding of each facet of the law. They had drunk the Kool-Aid of knowledge and were rock stars in their industry. Impressed? Absolutely, who wouldn't be, they were brilliant! Their score board for success was consistently a winning streak.
The only thing that seemed off was the redundant nature of how they worked. Example, while one attorney spoke, another attorney typed and would reread this information at the end to ensure the accuracy, only to find out that the original spoken data was not matched properly with what was typed. Why? Because we speak faster than we can document in most cases, the data gets lost in translation.

I worked at Novell
Pros – Good pay, decent benefits, nice co-workers, excellent facilities, bonuses
Cons – The company has a reputation of doing layoffs each year. They are in a downward death spiral that may not bottom out. Working there is pleasant, but you must constantly wonder if you will have a job the next week.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop changing directions every few months. Focus on selling stuff. Stop trying to be "the big player". Novell is no longer a powerhouse.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current and former U.S. military personnel make up a growing number of individuals starting or returning to college. The reality is that veterans, whether just back from active duty, decades past their service, or just starting out in military life, require a different set of tools to complete their degrees.

We understand your need for guidance through the complexity of scholarship and tuition assistance programs. We understand exactly what you need to get started and earn your degree.

Responsible retailing programme
In partnership with the Responsible Retailing Forum and Brandeis University, MillerCoors in the USA has developed the Respect 21 Responsible Retailing Programme to help retailers avoid selling alcohol to underage individuals. During the 12-month programme, each retailer receives branded underage-prevention point-of-sale items, a help guide based on a government-recognised document and quarterly newsletters and management tools. To monitor progress, retailers receive quarterly, confidential, legal-age, mystery shopper inspections.
This academically researched programme has helped to change the behaviour of over 1,000 retailers in more than 20 communities since its launch in 2005. Every city in which the programme has been implemented has seen improvements. In Miami there was a 100% increase in the number of times retailers requested proof of age. In New York, pass rates increased from 67% in the first quarter of the programme to 89% by the end.

On your bikes, Trowbridge ladies (From Wiltshire Times)

On your bikes, Trowbridge ladies
6:00pm Thursday 2nd January 2014 in News By Katie Smith
With New Year resolutions fresh in everyone's minds, a new cycling initiative is growing in Trowbridge to help women get fit through cycling.
Breeze is a British Cycling programme that encourages women to ride bikes for fun and helps them gain more confidence and skills in riding.
Volunteer Breeze champions organise and lead fun, social and local, women-only bike rides in an attempt to pass on their passion for cycling.
Hannah Eaton, 30, of Silver Street Lane in Trowbridge, became a Breeze champion this year after completing the Rider Leaders course with British Cycling.
This led her to compete in duathlons and cycloraces, laps of a short course featuring pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles requiring the rider to quickly dismount, carry the bike while navigating the obstruction and remount.
The John of Gaunt science teacher said: "I love cycling, as does my husband, and I ride to work many mornings, weather permitting.
"This is a countrywide scheme we want to introduce to Wiltshire, from easy rides along the tow path to road rides for women who are really into their bikes."
British Cycling claims that three times more men than women ride a bike, but Mrs Eaton, mother to one-year-old Amelie, said she wanted to change that.
She explains: "The profile of cycling has been raised with Laura Trott and Victoria Pendleton, but it is still male orientated.
"Women think they don't have the right kit or don't belong to a club, but that is not the case. Cycling is a brilliant way to see parts of Wiltshire you don't get to see from a car and it is a really good way to socialise. We plan trips around a cafe stop so people can have a drink and chat."
Although Mrs Eaton has organised a few rides this year, she hopes to raise the initiative's profile and provide cycling opportunities that cater for everyone's needs.
She said: "We want to push it now because people have had bikes as Christmas gifts or have New Year resolutions of trying to get fit and this is a good way to do it."
Breeze champions take a maximum of eight people on a ride but can increase their numbers by joining with another Breeze champion. Ideally participants will need their own bikes and Breeze champions run through maintenance checks before setting out. See www.facebook.com/ BreezeNetworkWestWiltshire

After reading a lot of the negative comments about the Meet & Greets and Ground Control, I just wanted to say that no matter what the experience at whatever show that the Boyzz and Pablo are still AWESOME !!!! I hope to see you guys with Kid Rock in Charlotte, NC in September !! Girl in the ZZ Dress
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and as I've mentioned in my profile, I'm an avid ZZ Top fan. I'd love to meet them and, as I also mentioned, my dream would be to have a Jeremia Weed type experience close up. They truly are my rock and roll heros...but consider a few things before you lay blame on the band. I know this will be considered controversial, however, let's get real guys......

DANVILLE The Association of Danville Area Ministers invites the public for a gathering Sunday at 7 p.m. at St. Luke Catholic Church, 307 S. Market St., Danville, that will feature Sonnenberg Station, a male chorus that will offer an evening of music. A freewill offering will be lifted, and there will be refreshments.
Sonnenberg Station began in the spring of 2006 with a simple goal: a few men gathering to sing songs of faith and everyday life. The name Sonnenberg Station was chosen because it gives a unique local identity and members liked the sound of it. Sonnenberg Station is actually located at a railroad crossing about a mile northeast of the Sonnenberg Mennonite and Salem Mennonite churches near Kidron.

And we also know what he stands for. In the 1987 film "Wall Street," corporate raider Gekko told shareholders of Teldar Paper Company: "I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!" He went on: "The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works."
Mitt Romney: "Greed is good." It's the perfect bumper sticker for the Romney campaign.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Am I being unfair in comparing Mitt Romney to the heartless Gordon Gekko? Not according to his fellow Republicans. As former CEO of Bain Capital, Romney argues that buying up companies and shutting them down is just the way capitalism works. But Newt Gingrich doesn't buy that. He asks: "Is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money?"
Romney further argues he was helping workers and investors alike. But Ron Paul disputes that. He points out that in a typical leveraged buy-out, "the wealth is taken from the middle class and it goes to the select few, who are the insiders."
Romney calls it venture capitalism at work. But Rick Perry has another name for it. "I happen to think that companies like Bain Capital could have come in and helped these companies, if they truly were venture capitalists," he told voters in Lexington, S.C. "But they're not -- they're vulture capitalists." Romney, of course, didn't help his case by declaring, "I like being able to fire people."
Imagine! We thought the Republican contest would center on a debate over Romneycare. Instead, it's boiled down to an attack on corporate greed. Can capitalism go too far? Those are the same arguments used by Ted Kennedy against Mitt Romney in 1994. You expect to hear them from the leaders of the Occupy movement. But nobody expected them in a Republican primary.
Trying to shame or silence his critics, the Romney campaign accused Gingrich and others of trying to "swift-boat" the former Massachusetts governor -- a theme quickly picked up by the media: "Is Gingrich swift-boating Romney?" But, as reporter Ari Berman points out in The Nation, that comparison is absurd.
There's a big difference between the attacks on John Kerry's war record in 2004 and the questions raised about Mitt Romney's business record in 2012. The entire Swift Boat campaign was nothing but one big fat lie. But Gingrich and Perry are only telling the truth. Corporate predators like Bain Capital do, in fact, swoop in on distressed companies, leverage them with debt, strip them down, fire workers or export jobs, and then sell companies off for scrap -- while investors walk away with huge profits.
Citing the success of Domino's, Sports Authority and Staples, Romney brags about creating a "net 100,000 new jobs." But he's offered no proof of that claim, and his numbers don't add enough. The 100,000 figure includes current employers of all three companies, hired long after Bain left the scene. And it doesn't factor in the thousands of jobs Romney/Bain destroyed by looting other companies. Indeed, out of 77 companies taken over by Bain, the Wall Street Journal found that 22 percent had either filed for bankruptcy or simply shut their doors. The truth is, Romney was never a job creator. He was a wealth creator. And it's a lie for him to suggest otherwise.
Just as it's a lie to suggest that he ever lived in fear of getting a "pink slip." As reported by the Boston Globe, Romney had a deal with Bain Capital that allowed him to return to his former job at his former salary if things didn't work out. For him, there was zero financial risk.
Mitt Romney will soon emerge from the primaries as a successful, but badly-battered, candidate, which is great news for the Obama campaign. They won't have to produce any new anti-Romney commercials for the general election. They can just air the same commercials run by Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry in the primary. Ain't politics fun?

The Pomeranian is an adorable dog with a mellow and gentle personality, but they can sometimes get noisy (just like children). As a matter of fact, if you want a Pomeranian, they are great with kids, just as long as they are introduced as puppies. However, because Pomeranians shed profusely, it may not be the best choice for a house with very small children.

Poop you don't scoop: 4 Ways to toilet train your cat
Just need to add that we have a bichon/shih tzu and he is the most adorable kind dog. He is 13 months old now - only barks if there is a bad energy, loves to meet new people, very friendly with other dogs when we are out walking, very smart re learning new things - his only downfall is he can be stubborn, which if you are in a hurry can be frustrating but his patience and love are incredible. He knows how to fit in at a work place - ie he is not the focus and is very grateful when he does get attention. If you want a dog as a true companion this dog is where it's at.
How about the name "Tulip"!? I called my little purebred female Schnauzer "Tulip" and it takes most people by surprise, but as soon as they think about it,they love it and never forget her name!
im loving my cheweenie chihuahua and dashund mix 4 months old!!
I had a Chi/Terrier -- Best dog ever -- until I got my 2 1/2 pound Poodle -- She was just amazing -- It took me about 3 hours to paper gtrain her -- She was simply treat -- I would love to get another Poodle - as tiny as she -- There are some wonderful large dogs -- but I am apartment bound -- So - I need to go small.
I'm looking at getting a Maltese all my friends who have it say it's the most adorable thing in the world. And it's so cute and cuddly it's also very friendly. But you might not want to pamper it to much.
Me and ma partner have just got a wee yorkie terrier and we are amazed how cute and good they are already. We have to young children and its really friendly and playful with them both. Would recommend wee yorkie to anyone with kids and a nice family.
Our shih tzu is the most loving animal we have ever had. He loves little children and is a terrific watch dog
My Australian terrier is the easiest dog ever. She does not shed, seldom barks, loves everyone. She likes to play but is content to sit in my lap, too.. I loved my Jack Russell for her great personality, but the Australian terrier is easier.
This is for Penny who wants a small dog. I got my chipom (Chihuahua/pomeranian from Calican Rescue. They bring small dogs over from California. She is the most wonderful pet I have ever had. Try them and I am sure you will be happy. They have a website.
We are currently looking for a tea cup poodle or Chihuahua, maybe even a mix of the two. He would like to size up to a golden doodle. But Bucky rules the roost and he is not willing to share the power. So for now it's just looking, lol. Min Pins are high energy and easily excitable, trust me when I say ear plugs, lol. But wouldn't trade him for the world.
Surprised that mini pins didn't make the cut. Very yappy, but needs little exercise, so for people that love to walk for exercise, this may not me the dog for you. They are suppcesstable to heat stroke very easy, but they keep you entertained all the time. Our male red can't lay beside you, they have to be on you, ha.
Our little Tibetan Terrier was the sweetest and smartest dog we ever owned.
They can be stubborn, we enrolled him in an obedience class and he simply refused to obey any of the required commands. The trainer was beside herself, then at graduation day all of the dogs in class had to be tested...unbelievable but he was the only dog out of a class of 12 to perform 100% of the commands. Sadly he recently passed away and we are lost without his company
I have a mini Dachshund. Just the sweetest boy I've ever known. All dog. Not barky. He is a long hair. so soft! Just keep them lean and don't let them jump off beds or couches and their backs will be fine.
I have a mix a shih zhu and a Maltese cutest little thing in the world!
I have a maltese who is 2.5 years old. She is my 84 yo mothers best frends, with her 24 hours a day. She is very lovable and protective of my mother. However; she gets alone with everyone even our 2 outside cats that come in from time to time to visit. I suggest a maltese for a lap dog, companionship and loyatly. Excellent dog and easy to potty train. The only negative thing I can say is that they are very people oriented, do not leave them alone for long periods of time. I hope whatever you decided you will enjoy yours as much as we do ours.
Jack Russell best dog ever
Even better? The Yorkie-Poo! Not only cute (Yorkie), but smart (Poodle)!
We have our three year old "Lacey the Llhasa Apso" and she is sweet and
loves her walks and loves to play! She also doesn't shed!! YEAH!
She is tan with white feet and a white chin!!!
Dennis and I have "three year old Lacey the Llhasa Apso" She has been clear around the country and back to Federal Way, WA 98023
She is lots of fun and very smart and sweet!!!
She is great company!!

We exit September with the understanding that Alabama, in football, is first and fundamentally foremost.
It's almost universal.
USA Today coaches' weekly mystery-misery index.
One coach thinks Florida State is No. 1 and another, incredibly, is still punching Louisiana State's card.
Apparently this coach found impressive a 38-22 win against sub-division Towson in front of a home Louisiana State crowd that left early in droves.
Maybe it was LSU's five fumbles (three lost) that impressed the coach, or Les Miles' postgame comments, "I thought we played down to our opponent … I must not have prepared them well."
The USA Today coaches just can't shake LSU — it's like breaking up with a girlfriend. Last week they penned a "Dear Les" letter only when it was obvious Oregon had to be jumped to No. 2. The Ducks defeated Arizona, 49-0, on the same day LSU only outlasted Auburn, 12-10.
This week was equally obvious to AP voters, who dropped LSU to No. 4 behind Alabama, Oregon and Florida State.
The USA Today coaches, though, just can't quit LSU.
So the Tigers are still No. 3.
The situation is this: Alabama is clearly No. 1 and probably in the market for a title-game partner.
Alabama continues to play a style unfamiliar to the current college game: run, stop the run, don't make mistakes and soundly defeat your opponents.
Alabama's top-ranked scoring defense has allowed 35 points in five games. The offensive line already looks NFL-ready.
There was panic attack in Tuscaloosa when Mississippi took a 7-6 lead because it marked the first time Alabama had trailed in regulation since last year against Tennessee.
It took the Crimson Tide 15 seconds to reclaim the lead, on the ensuing kickoff return for a score, and order was restored in a 33-14 win.
Other game boxes around the country gushed yards. West Virginia and Baylor hemorrhaged for more than 1,500, Oklahoma State and Texas combined for 1,016 while Fresno State and San Diego State totaled 994.
Alabama held Ole Miss to a tidy 218.
Crimson Tide Coach Nick Saban is always going to nitpick. He told people Ole Miss would come ready to play. "Nobody really listens to me until after the fact," Saban said after the fact.
The challengers to Alabama all have pros and cons.
Alabama a clear No. 1 in college football
The Crimson Tide, picking up every first-place vote in AP poll, can run, stop the run and it avoids mistakes in soundly beating opponents.

Prostate cancer, like many medical conditions, varies in presentation, treatment options, and outcomes. Undeniably, patients rely on the Internet for early education about their prostate cancer diagnosis or to fill information gaps from doctors. We use the Internet to research nearly every facet of our lives, and our physical wellbeing is no exception. But can we trust what we read? Better yet, can we understand it?
For world-renowned robotic prostate cancer surgeon, David Samadi, MD, the disease he treats – prostate cancer – and his technique are not simple. His global "treat and teach" philosophy centers on the most advanced prostate cancer treatment available, supported by thorough patient education. As such, he has two websites, www.roboticoncology.com and www.smart-surgery.com, that provide an overview of the disease, the full range of treatment options, and his own SMART (Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique) surgery.
"Thorough and accurate patient education is vital," Dr. Samadi says. "I'm a robotic surgeon, but it's important for my patients to understand all options. I work to maintain websites that are clear and up-to-date so when patients leave my office – or before they even arrive – they have solid resources they can understand and depend on."
We're often reminded to choose wisely when it comes to digging for medical information online. According to a Loyola University Medical Center study, however, it isn't just about being a savvy surfer. In some cases, you may need a medical degree to know what you're ready.
Who's Online?
An Internet study by Pew Research Center suggests that most men of prostate cancer age are online and are looking for health information. Eighty-five percent of adults age 50-64 use the Internet, plus 58 percent of those over 65. Among them, 80 percent are gathering health and medical information.
How Prostate Cancer Websites Stack Up
Loyola University Medical Center explored 62 different prostate cancer websites, finding that most are written above a 12th-grade reading level. Since one-third of Americans read below a high-school level, that presents a significant patient wellness challenge. As a general guideline, the U.S. National Institutes of Health suggest a fourth- to sixth-grade reading level for patient education materials, though few seem to heed that advice.
