Apple Inc.'s landmark, $1-billion patent victory over Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has investors reexamining the prospects for rivals struggling to keep up with the world's dominant smartphone players.
Shares of Research In Motion Ltd. , Nokia Corp. and Microsoft Corp. , which makes the Windows Phone software that Nokia currently uses on smartphones, all rose in Monday trading as investors contemplated how the ruling could affect wireless industry players that were not caught up in the legal battle.
The jury verdict in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California sided emphatically with Apple and found Samsung – the South Korean conglomerate that has found huge success as the unofficial global flag bearer of Google Inc.'s Android mobile software – infringed several of Apple's patents related to the iPhone and iPad.
Apple is now seeking a court ban on U.S. sales of eight Samsung smartphone models. With the possibility of an injunction coming in September, investors and analysts see possible gains in the U.S. market for RIM and Nokia.RIM, which has struggled through a delay of its upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform, rose as much as 5 per cent Monday before closing up 2 per cent, while Nokia jumped nearly 10 per cent and Microsoft rose slightly. Apple shares gained nearly 2 per cent.
"Microsoft and RIM are both hoping that they can be a third alternative for [wireless] carriers," said Eric Jackson, founder and managing partner of hedge fund Ironfire Capital LLC. "With this ruling, there's a real chance both Windows Phone and BB10 will get a second look. Of course, RIM has to ship it first."
Nokia, which has struggled in developed markets against Apple and Android devices, is already out with a powerful but commercially unsuccessful lineup of smartphones that run Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system. But starting this fall a newer version of Windows mobile software will hit the market and Nokia could benefit from any potential setbacks to Samsung, the world's largest smartphone maker.
"Nokia's up more than RIM [because] if there's any short-term disruption, Windows Phone 8 is launching earlier," says Canaccord Genuity technology analyst Mike Walkley.
Though RIM's BlackBerry 10 operating system is a rival to Android and Samsung, Mr. Walkley said RIM shares likely rose on Monday because investors were renewing their focus on the value of patents in the sector, and RIM could be looked on more favourably should the board choose to sell the company.
RIM holds a variety of patents tied to wireless communication and security, including a patent portfolio acquired from Nortel. Analyst estimates for the value of RIM's patent portfolio range from about $1-billion to $2.5-billion, but companies such as Motorola Mobility – which Google bought largely for the patents – have sold for more than the market expected given the frequency of patent litigation in the sector as smartphones become more similar.
RIM declined to comment on the implications of the verdict. Executives have frequently pointed to the occasional troubles of Android-using handset makers as evidence that the Waterloo, Ont.-based company's strategy to continue developing its own mobile software was a wise decision.
But Florian Mueller, a wireless industry consultant who focuses on patent issues, said RIM's patent portfolio, unlike Apple's and Nokia's, has not been broadly tested through arduous litigation. In addition, Mr. Mueller said, RIM won't be able to save itself from legal battles just because it has decided not to adopt Android like Samsung.
"It's quite easy to get a lot of patents if you have a lot of engineers and a legal department," Mr. Mueller said. "Nokia has proven the strength of its portfolio ... I'm not saying RIM is necessarily unable to do this, but the fact that RIM's portfolio is untested in litigation makes it hard for any buyer to be confident."
Near the height of its global success, RIM was forced to pay $612.5-million in a patent settlement in the U.S. against NTP Inc.
But Mr. Mueller said RIM's recent troubles with poorly received products may have shielded it from the more vicious litigation now bouncing around the wireless space. He added that if RIM's touch-screen BlackBerry 10 phones find a receptive audience, the comparatively small Canadian firm could find itself in court battling much larger global rivals such as Apple or Samsung.
"If they wanted to build traditional keyboard devices, there wouldn't be much of an issue," Mr. Mueller said. "If they get into the multi-touch devices and they find success, they will run into Apple."Report Typo/Error

|ESPN.com: draftkit
|[Print without images]
Still, the more time you put into your fantasy draft preparations, the more you can benefit, especially in the later rounds. And as you're gathering information on players and teams, the reality emerges: Coaches do matter. They install the system. They dole out the minutes. They like some players, for their game or even their personality, more than others. And all that and more figures into how a given player will perform.
With that in mind, here's a quick look at the eight NBA teams that have new coaches for the 2008-09 season, and the potential fantasy impact of each hire.
Fantasy impact: The 26-win Bucks were bad in 2007-08, so they fired their coach. They were awful defensively -- 23rd in scoring defense, 24th in 3-pointers allowed and dead last in opponents' field-goal percentage (.480) -- so they hired Skiles. Although player relations might not be his strength, Skiles will have Milwaukee playing defense. In the 2005-06 season, his Bulls held opponents to a league-low 42.6 percent shooting accuracy from the field. They were second in that category the following season.
|Luke Ridnour could benefit from having multiple scoring options to pass to in Milwaukee.
Fantasy impact: Pat Riley's hand-picked successor knows what he's getting into. The 37-year-old Spoelstra has been on the Heat's staff for 13 years, serving as director of scouting for the past seven. In that position, his primary responsibility was to develop game plans for upcoming opponents. Perhaps the new coach's familiarity with the league will make some difference on the defensive end. Miami was average in scoring defense last season but allowed opponents to shoot almost 47 percent from the field, sixth-worst in the NBA.
It isn't saying much, considering that the 2007-08 Heat won 15 games, but Miami should be better this season. Things certainly improved this summer. A healthy Dwyane Wade brought home gold from Beijing, and the Heat might have claimed the draft's biggest prize in No. 2 overall pick Michael Beasley.
Fantasy owners know what they'll get from D-Wade and the grumpy but productive Shawn Marion. But Spoelstra still must figure out who will play point guard and center, and -- of most interest to fantasy owners -- how to handle the 19-year-old Beasley. And the answer there probably depends as much on the kid as it does on the coach.
Fantasy impact: Raymond Felton reportedly has had several positive offseason meetings with the Hall of Fame coach, and Emeka Okafor, after re-signing with Charlotte, called Brown's presence a plus. So the players should play. And there are some players here, even if some of them -- starting with Gerald Wallace and Okafor -- are seriously injury-prone.
Like the Bucks, expect the Bobcats (20th in scoring defense last season) to be much-improved defensively. The season before Brown took over in Indiana, the Pacers yielded 106.1 points a game. With Brown, they allowed 97.5 points in the 1993-94 season. The same held true in Philly: The 76ers allowed 106.7 points against before Brown, but only 95.7 points against in his first Philadelphia season of 1997-98.
Of course, those Pacers and Sixers teams saw their own scoring drop by about seven points in Brown's first season. Perhaps Jason Richardson, ninth in the league with 17.9 field-goal attempts per game last season, will feel the brunt of Brown's possession-milking offense the most.
But back to Felton. Charlotte's one significant offseason acquisition was point guard D.J. Augustin, selected ninth overall in the draft. Augustin, a college teammate of Kevin Durant, opened eyes by averaging 20 points in the Las Vegas summer league.
So where does this leave Felton? Augustin is talented, but I see him more as this year's Rodney Stuckey. I still think Felton will run the show. For what it's worth, when Brown came to the Sixers, Allen Iverson -- then a second-year pro -- saw a decline in shot attempts. But his percentage went up, and his turnovers declined significantly. I know I'm cherry-picking stats, and I'm not saying that Felton is headed for A.I.-level production. But if the former Tar Heel (he of the 41.6 percent shooting and 2.7 turnovers per game last season) sees a similar transformation in his numbers, it would be way cool for fantasy owners.
Fantasy impact: When a team fires its coach, his replacement often is someone with a completely different style. That's the case in Milwaukee with Skiles. Then there's the in-house hire, in which the new coach is familiar with the system. See Spoelstra in Miami.
So what then to make of Carlisle, an outsider who in style and temperament seems to share much in common with his predecessor, Avery Johnson?
There are signs that Carlisle, who won with half-court offenses in Detroit and Indiana, is willing to adapt now that he's coaching Jason Kidd. An ESPN.com article by Marc Stein about Carlisle's hiring noted that Carlisle spent some time observing Mike D'Antoni's system at Suns training camp last year. And as the Dallas Morning News noted, the Mavs' new assistant coaches, Dwane Casey and Terry Stotts, have backgrounds that contrast with Carlisle's.
You know the Mavs' background: They exited the postseason in April with a first-round loss to the Hornets. Johnson was fired, but the key players -- including Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse and Kidd -- remain. And each, save for the 28-year-old Howard, is in his 30s.
So even if Carlisle is a changed man, Dallas doesn't seem like an appreciably changed team from a fantasy perspective. The players are just a year older.
Fantasy impact: D'Antoni and the Knicks seem to be another unlikely pairing. At the time of his hiring, the New York Daily News published this bit of skepticism from an anonymous head coach: "I think it is a terrible match. Two of the biggest problems with the Knicks are that they don't practice and they don't play defense. I don't know if that changes now."
The Suns won three division titles and made two trips to the Western Conference finals under D'Antoni, but their inability to shut down teams when it counted led to his dismissal. Unlike Carlisle in Big D, though, D'Antoni doesn't figure to change his approach in the Big Apple. And that's just fine with fantasy owners.
Because the Knicks are the Knicks, some of their players seem well-suited for D'Antoni's system while others -- namely Zach Randolph, Eddy Curry and former Sun Stephon Marbury -- look as out of place as an eye patch on the Statue of Liberty. As for those who could flourish, start with Jamal Crawford, David Lee, Wilson Chandler and Quentin Richardson. And of course Nate Robinson hardly needs an invite to jack up some 3s. (Ironically, though, the former Suns draft pick was jettisoned to New York while D'Antoni was in Phoenix.)
The Knicks might not win many games, but for fantasy owners, they should be a fun team to watch, whether you have Crawford or Lee, or especially whenever one of your other players is going against New York. Welcome back, Mike D'Antoni.
Fantasy impact: Even with D'Antoni out of Phoenix, Steve Nash and crew aren't about to revert to half-court sets. In fact, the Porter hire was made in part because of his experience with a similar offense. As noted on NBA.com, Porter played for Rick Adelman in Portland and coached with him in Sacramento, and Adelman's offense shares some commonalities with D'Antoni's.
" We felt the transition would be made easier, since Terry has run a lot of that same stuff," Suns general manager Steve Kerr said at the time of the hire. "Obviously there will be differences and nuances, but the key for us was having someone who would be balanced on both sides of the ball and wanted to continue to push the ball and maintain our up-tempo style and could also come in and help us defensively."
Frankly, I'll believe the Suns have improved defensively when I see it. Even during their best stretch after the Shaquille O'Neal trade last season, when they won 10 of 12 games, the Suns still surrendered 105 points per game. This is another veteran team whose players should perform to fantasy owners' expectations.
Fantasy impact: After falling to Boston in the Eastern Conference finals, it was logical to wonder whether Pistons general manager Joe Dumars would overhaul this veteran roster. But Flip Saunders' firing and Curry's hiring were the only major moves of the offseason.
|Will Rodney Stuckey take the next step this season under Michael Curry?
The 40-year-old is a former Piston who, in his playing days, was known for his leadership skills and knowledge of the game. Curry returned to Detroit as an assistant coach last season after two years in the league's front office.Under Curry, look for Amir Johnson and especially Rodney Stuckey to get a big boost in minutes. Dumars was vocal with his regret that these two didn't play more in the postseason, and Curry sides squarely with his GM. The new coach recently raved about Stuckey to the Detroit Free Press, calling him the team's "sixth starter."
During the past five years, no team can compare to Detroit in terms of lineup stability. Perhaps this group has one more playoff run in it. Or perhaps a key injury or an extended period of so-so play will prompt Dumars to make a big move during the season. When it comes to fantasy mainstays Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince, fantasy owners may want to lower their expectations, if only slightly.
Fantasy impact: The 42-year-old Del Negro comes to the Bulls after working in the Suns' front office as a director of player personnel and then as an assistant general manager. Though he's never coached, Bulls general manager John Paxson hopes Del Negro's communication skills will connect him with Chicago's young and frequently underachieving players.
Who Del Negro's players will be in Chicago remains an open question, however. Ben Gordon has balked at signing a one-year deal with the club. He and Argentinean Olympian Andres Nocioni have both been the subject of trade rumors.

Jumping on the Baylor bandwagon
March, 14, 2009
By Tim Griffin
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A sparse crowd of about 10,000 fans are kicking around the Ford Center. The losses by Oklahoma State in Friday's semifinals and Oklahoma's loss in the quarterfinals squelched what little excitement there was for local fans.
But a bunch of Baylor fans have jumped on the Bears' unlikely tournament bandwagon and made the four-hour drive north on Interstate 35 from Waco.
It's resulted in the Bears becoming the popular choice by most of the fans who are attending.
My favorite sign can be found across the baseline from Missouri's bench by a Baylor student.
He played on his school's religion and its tournament hopes if the Bears can win today.
It read: "Let the Baptists Dance."

The music is good but the sound is bad...,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Glad Rag Doll [2LP Vinyl] (LP Record)
I liked this album. I liked what Krall has tried to do. Put on a disc and step back to the roaring 20's. Forget your typical jazz, the album is about a different style of music.
The problem I have is with the mastering of the vinyl. The sound is flat and muffled. Never does her voice project, it just blends in with the instruments. And the instruments never stand apart. One big mess of sound.
Maybe that's what she was going for, I don't know. I will play is record again because I like the music style but not because of the sound quality .

The Idea Experts LLC DBA The Max Family LLC. has launched an innovative glove that is sure to change the glove world as we know it. The latest edition to the Max Family is the revolutionary Multi Mit. The Multi Mit is a high quality one of a kind multi-use work glove. It is the only glove on the market with a patented three-finger M.I.T. ( middle, index, thumb) "flip the tip" technology that allows the bare middle, index, and fingers on both gloves to be exposed while still protecting the entire hand. The "flip the tip" middle, index, and thumb fingers are constructed with overlapping fabric designed to minimize skin exposure when fully intact--providing maximum hand protection. The Multi Mit fingertips (M.I.T.) can be pulled back over the fingertips and secured by Velcro buttons allowing the wearer to access and use their bare fingertips for small piece handling such as nuts, screws, bolts, wires etc.
There is no other glove on the market that offers consumers the full-hand protection of a traditional gloves with the option to expose the fingertips. The Multi Mit has numerous applications-automotive, electrical, HVAC, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, motocross, etc. The Multi Mit offers value added price point, product life stability and marketing flexibility for any retailer and it's consumers.
Gone are the days of removing your gloves to perform a task requiring your fingers to be exposed to then search for your misplaced glove after the task was completed. That will no longer be a problem with the Multi Mit.
The design of this product line is pioneering yet quite simple. The primary part of this glove line is the "flip the tip" design on the middle , index, and thumb fingers of each hand. The three finger option of the design gives the user a choice of which finger to expose. This "flip the tip" design allows the user to uncover the thumb, index, and middle finger and expose the bare fingers from the mid-knuckle to finger-tip for technical tasks. The finger (covers) are flipped over from palm to the back of the hand and are secured to the back of the glove with velcro tabs. These tabs keep the attached loose finger covers from getting in the way as you work. When finished, simply pull the finger covers from the velcro and "flip the tip"back over the finger. Once the finger is covered there is no opening for grease or cold to access the skin. The finger covers overlap the opening by one half inch which protects the skin from the elements (grease, oil, weather etc.) when tasks are performed with fingers covered.
The Multi MIT Universal Series gloves are perfect for law enforcement, border patrol, correctional officers or armed forces personnel. The sleek black on black design offers a muted color with the same "flip the tip" technology for much needed trigger dexterity but the protection when frisking or patting down a suspect when complete finger and hand protection is needed. Please visit law enforcement link for special offers.

As I write this it is 7:37 a.m., and I've just finished reading the morning paper. I started at 7:31 a.m. And I'm no speed reader. Our city's paper, the Hartford Courant, once arguably one of the better dailies in the nation, has cut more than half its staff in the past few years. Recently it announced the departure of both editor and managing editor—and dissolved the latter job altogether. The paper continues to shed weight like a contestant on The Biggest Loser. There's almost no national news; cultural reportage is piped in from Chicago and L.A.; the "Living" section consists of tidbits about celebrities, cute dog photos sent in by readers, a weather map, and five pages of obituaries.
The death throes of newspapers are harder to watch for knowing that the wound was self-inflicted. A decision was made to offer free content via a revolutionary new technology, and figure out how to pay for it later. Well, later is now, and as Frank Rich observed in the May 10 New York Times, they still haven't figured it out. Titling his column [1] "The American Press on Suicide Watch," Rich sounded the alarm. "We can't know what is happening behind closed doors at corrupt, hard-to-penetrate institutions in Washington or Wall Street," he wrote, "unless teams of reporters armed with the appropriate technical expertise and...

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
ProMetic Life Sciences and Abraxis BioScience are joining forces to develop and commercialize products based on ProMetic's prion-capture technology. The deal will see both companies equally share both development costs and commercial income from resulting products.
ProMetic's pathogen removal and diagnostic platform originated from its collaboration with the American Red Cross through their joint venture, Pathogen Removal and Diagnostic Technologies (PRDT). The technology is integrated into ProMetic's CE marked P-Capt® filter, a prion-reduction device developed with its commercialization partner, MacoPharma. The filter is also used by partners at the industrial scale to improve the safety margin of biopharmaceutical products.
In October 2009, ProMetics announced finalizing its intended transaction with the American Red Cross to acquire the latter's common stock holding in PRDT. The transaction, originally announced in April 2008, increased ProMetic's stake in the business from 26% to a controlling 77% in exchange for a tapering royalty on PRDT revenue.
In September 2008, ProMetic and Abraxis signed definitive agreements for the development and commercialization worldwide (excluding China and Taiwan) of four biopharmaceutical products against underserved medical conditions. The transaction included an initial $7 million strategic investment in ProMetic by Abraxis and gave the latter rights to make optional investments of up to $25 million.

I've had copa's for years. Nothing comes close... never will.... but this boot is a very good alternative and a little bit lighter. Only worn them a handful of times, I think they are slightly more delicate than my copa's don't think they will wear quite as well, but time will tell. ... read more
So, got this to help appease my son who is a bit particular about fit, but also was really yearning for the cool-sock top-style look usually demanding @$170-200+. These fit the bill with styling and fit/function and price point. Couldn't be much happier with the purchase! ... read more
Absolutely love my new boots. Sometimes you have to break in new boots but mine were comfortable from the time i put them on. I got a half size bigger, as suggested, and they fit like a glove. I would also definately recommend buying from the Adidas sit and it was so quick and easy. ... read more
Overall comfort is very good. I did feel a blister coming on after around 60 minutes of play but this normal practice for new boots. I've played one game and so far scored 1 goal, make of that what you will. If I can keep up that pattern I'll be the next Jamie Vardy before you know it. ... read more
I just bought it and it came to my house, my first experience was great! over all I give this boot a 10/10 rating in my opinion, The boot is just so light weight. I can easily say that this is my favourite boot out there along with the hyper venom phantom ... read more
These boots are just what I was looking for. You can no longer find plain black football boots and these were perfect. They were soft leather and very comfortable. I've worn them a few times already and they are still like new ... read more
My son loves these. I am happily surprised by how the lace system works to pull your foot down onto the sole allowing the sock to grip your ankle in place. This week is a good test as these are being used at 3 session a day camp. Will update later. ... read more
These boots are great. They are super comfy and great to play in. The only bad thing about them is that the silver metallic paint on the bottom of the boot eventually wears off but other then that they are grey ... read more
Have been Adidas Copa Mundial user for over 20 years. Was skeptical before the purchase. Played with it a few times now. Great control and feel, super light, easy to clean. Exceeded all my expectations. ... read more
Best boots I've ever used. I absolutely love them. I've tried many boots before and have been using other brands premium boots for quite some time... But these are by far the best I've ever had. I highly recommend theses boots. ... read more
The adidas x16+ purechaos looks great out of the box and on feet. They are good for either wide or narrow feet as they have laces. The performance of the boot is great. It's light weight, has a great touch on the ball and the sprintframe stud pattern is great for explosive running. The only two downsides are that the boots gave me blisters but this was my fault and the chrome finish on the sole plate will fade. ... read more
Excellent boot very very light, I would order a half a size up from what you are as they are a very tight fit. Its like playing in slippers, you can really feel the ball. A little expensive but you defiantly get what you pay for, very very, pleased ... read more
Son loved these boots has had 2 pairs of sock boots from another well known make and said these are the BEST boots by far!! So comfy and clean so easily too. Converted completely to Adidas in clothing and footwear now. ... read more
I bought these for my son, they came quickly, very comfortable and very light. He thinks they are the best fitting shoes that he has tried to play rugby in. They are definitely 3g not grass, the sole is lightweight and the upper very good. They are the first "sock type" he has tried. In size 6 they are a perfect fit but not for wide feet ... read more
I bought the size 13 and 12 1/2 a better bet for me, as football boots don't need to be too generous. I would say this is me getting used to the sizes though. Often the available ones are 12 and 13 and no in-between . I experienced slight movement of my heel when flexing the foot. The shape of the left and right boots not quite symmetrical when looked at from behind. The leather seemed good quality. Have since bought size 12 1/2 in another style & found them to suit me better. ... read more
These cleats are amazing! They are super comfortable and great for striking, receiving, and dribbling the ball, even at a low(er) price. However, this pair of boots certainly isn't the most durable. If you are going to be playing constantly on turf, they lip may begin to separate from the upper (That's what happened to me). Overall, the Gloro 16.1s are amazing leather boots and I reccomend them to anyone debating whether or not to give them a go. ... read more
I really love this shoe, so much better than the x 15.1. The lace cover is amazing. Yet if you are bothered by the silver flaking off the bottom of the shoe, you should not buy this product. But really this is not something you should worry about, it will not affect the preformence. All in all, totally worth the price. ... read more
My son purchased these with money he had from his birthday and had been looking for a sock boot for months that he could afford. When these were released they seemed the ideal solution, price wise much better and they look great too. ... read more
Brilliant boots, super comfortable from write out the box and no stud pressure. I went half a size up from my usual UK.11 in Nike boots and they fit brilliantly. The elastic on the tongue is also very strong so little risk of snapping which occurred on past boots. ... read more
It's fits your feet like a sock which is really good when kicking the ball. The sock was comfortable and you can get a lot of power from them. Only downside would be that the back of your socks will turn orange after a while but it is easily removed in the wash. ... read more

Tokyo, May 9: While the intensity and speed of spread of the swine flu is well within control in Asia, there has been sporadic reporting of the increasing number of cases across the continent. Reports from Japan and Australia confirming their first cases of the H1N1 influenza on May 9, has only raised the apprehension.
Washington, May 6: Don't let the fear of swine flu make you pop that medicine without any rhyme or reason. Experts opine that consuming medicines as a preventive or precautionary measure without having the symptoms of the flu would do more harm than good.
Hong Kong, May 4: Authorities swung into action immediately after a 25-year-old Mexican guest tested positive for swine flu in a downtown Hong Kong hotel on Saturday. Close to 200 hotel guests and about 100 staff members were asked to stay in the Metro Park Hotel itself for a period of one week. These people have been put under quarantine to ensure that the virus does not spread.
New York, May 2: Quoting a decline in demand for seats to Mexico, most of the largest US airlines cut their services to the country for the time being.
Hong Kong, May 2: With the outbreak of the swine flu on their doorstep, the Asian countries are bracing themselves to combat the contagion.

Exceptional Outcomes:: Achievement in Education and Employment Among Children of Immigrantsby Alejandro Portes
Pub. Date: 12/28/2008
Publisher: SAGE Publications
How do children of immigrants achieve success despite daunting obstacles? Poverty, language barriers, parents' long work hours, and limited resources work against immigrant children's efforts to do well in school. Yet some of these students manage to beat the odds, graduate from universities, acquire advanced degrees, and achieve careers in the professional sector.
How do children of immigrants achieve success despite daunting obstacles? Poverty, language barriers, parents' long work hours, and limited resources work against immigrant children's efforts to do well in school. Yet some of these students manage to beat the odds, graduate from universities, acquire advanced degrees, and achieve careers in the professional sector.
Exceptional Outcomes is a pioneering contribution to the understanding of the factors enabling impoverished children of immigrants to succeed in education and employment. The authors in this volume combine state of the art quantitative and ethnographic research conducted in various parts of the United States to create the most comprehensive portrayal of the ways in which immigrant families and their children overcome a multitude of challenges in their course to assimilation.
This fascinating volume of The ANNALS is a must-read for students, scholars, and policymakers concerned with the low representation of immigrant and minority students among college graduates. Although its focus is on the children of immigrants, the book is eminently relevant to the understanding of factors that increase the likelihood of success in education and employment among impoverished children in general.

BOSTON (AP) - A nun who was fired for helping perform baptism rites reserved for priests won't receive a Jesuit center's highest honor this year - if ever.
Sister Jeannette Normandin was to receive the annual Imago Deo "in the image of God" award from Boston's Jesuit Urban Center during a Nov. 17 ceremony.
But Jesuit officials decided to postpone the dinner after Normandin was fired last week for violating a church law by anointing children during their baptisms.
Her punishment sparked a furor in the community. That prompted the center to postpone the dinner until next spring.
"It's simply to have the event in a peaceful time," said the Rev. Thomas Carroll, director of the center.

Hello, Baby
When Lindsey Lanzisero called her husband at work last week, he thought he was finally about to be a father. With his wife due to deliver their first baby within the week, restaurant manager Peter Lanzisero rushed across the Galleria's Grand Luxe Cafe to the phone, sure that tonight was the night they'd have a new addition to their household. He was right--but it wasn't a baby his wife would be bringing home. It was a 1984 Rolls Royce Corniche, part of a "customer appreciation" prize night hosted by a local home financing group.
"He got the call over the headset that he had an emergency call," said Lindsey, who was on a stage at the Studio Movie Grill in Addison accepting her prize while a friend called Peter. "He said, 'She's in labor, isn't she?' My friend said, 'No, she won the car!'"
The Rolls Royce was part of a "customer appreciation" evening sponsored by Home Marketing Services Inc., the company fronted by local commercial celebrity and company founder Bob Lovell, who commands his viewers to "stop making the landlord richer." Local TV fans recognize Lovell for his catchphrase "Bless your heart," which means, more or less, "you dumb [expletive]," used for people still renting instead of owning. The Lanziseros, who are both 25, say they used HMS to finance their new home in Cross Roads, outside Little Elm, and Lindsey went to the customer appreciation event last Tuesday on a whim. Peter Lanzisero couldn't get off work for the event, but someone had to be present to win.
Standing in front of the stage, belly bulging, Lindsey says she thought, "there's no way we're going to win anything." But then, when her ticket number was called out for the car, "I proved myself wrong, I guess!"

The convertible luxury car is worth about $75,000, according to Lovell, who decided to give it away because he drove it so infrequently. "It's not fair for a car like that to sit," he said. "If you are going to give something away and truly just give it, give something that means something. I loved that car."
Of course, a Rolls Royce isn't the type of vehicle in which most families want Cheerios, grape juice and teething rings strewn across the backseat. "It's not exactly a baby friendly car," said Lindsey, who added that she and her husband plan to sell the car and start a college or retirement fund rather than keep it for a Sunday driver.
"We knew that a lot of clients might not have use for a Rolls Royce in their neighborhood," says Lovell, whose mechanic had a couple of buyers lined up for the vehicle. He was particularly glad to see a soon-to-be mom win the car. "The nickname for my car has always been 'Baby.' Baby wins!" --Andrea Grimes

IVs relationships do nothing to diminish our connection, in fact I would say it has the opposite effect. When she is with me she embraces fully the kind of relationship I have to offer her. She has other relationships which are similar in some ways and different in others, which serves to give her a more full understanding of what she gets from me. Her love for CV and PT brings her closer to me, allows her to appreciate me.
I say, don't wish for lack of change. Wish instead for life to be enriched and given the opportunity to flourish.

Humans are pattern seeking apes. We make comparisons of everything around us to everything else. If your husband has ever seen another woman you can be assured he has compared her to you. I presume women do the same.
This isn't something to be frightened of, it's just the way we interpret the world around us. It's out of his control just like it's out of yours. That being the case, take a deep breath and let it go because he couldn't *not* do that if he tried.

I assure you that he thinks of all kinds of different things when making love. The mind wanders depending on what is going on. If he's super stressed about work I guarantee that during a lull in love making his work situation pops into his mind. If he watched some outstanding porn earlier in the day you can bet he will think about that at some point.

I suggest you embrace the fact that he is a fully functional human and that his feelings are his own to manage. Celebrate it, don't fear it. Openly encourage his freedom and join in any resulting joys he wishes to share with you. His life will be better - Your life will be better - Everyone wins

Garlic Cheese Grits
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr 15 mins
This recipe, originally from the Cornerstone Inn B&B in Gatlinburg Tennessee, had a few problems. Although I liked the flavor, I wanted to tweak it a bit before posting. I have since made changes and found my version much more to my liking, perfect as an accompaniment to any southern or country breakfast. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup old fashioned grits (not quick cooking)
- 3 1⁄2 cups water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (may use low-fat, but not fat-free)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or more, depending on taste)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook the grits in the 3 1/2 cups water for about 15 minutes, or until done, stirring frequently (adjust water amount if needed).
- Mix in butter, garlic, and cream cheese, stirring until blended and butter melts.
- Allow to cool a little bit.
- Mix in salt, pepper, cream, hot sauce, and eggs (the eggs are why you don't want this hot at this point, or they will scramble on contact).
- Place mixture into a greased square casserole dish (or you may use a 8x8 baking pan).
- Bake at 350F for 55-60 minutes or until set and knife comes out clean.

This was an easy recipe to prepare and uses ingredients I always keep on hand. It had a nice creamy texture and was a very flavorful sidedish. I served them with scrambled eggs and toast. Thanks for sharing your recipe Sue!
Good recipe. I was really surprised at the texture of this dish. It was very similar to garlic mashed potatoes. I pretty much followed the directions as written. Will make these again.

LONDON (Reuters) - British police said on Saturday they have opened an inquiry into the "unexplained death" of Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky at his home near London.
"His death is currently being treated as unexplained and a full inquiry is under way," police said in a statement that did not name the 67-year-old businessman.
"The area around the property has been cordoned off in order to allow the investigation to take place."
His body was found in a property in Ascot, a small town about 25 miles (40 km) west of London, the statement added.
