After World War II, several treaties - known as the Geneva Convention - were put in place to ensure that prisoners of war would be treated humanely. Since that time, there has been much debate about what constitutes torture. Obviously, the drafters of these treaties never used an Epilady®. For those of you who dont know what Im talking about, this is a little gadget that has a rotating, vibrating coil thats sole purpose is to grab the hair on your legs and viciously pull it out. In clumps. By the root. It feels like several little cartoon fairies swarming around your legs plucking your hair out with hundreds of tiny little tweezers. (Wouldnt that be a wonderful Disney animated movie?) I had one of these devices - the technical term is epilator - about 20 years ago. I gave up after about two months, and since the commercials eventually stopped, I understandably assumed that the Geneva Convention had finally stepped in. Certainly, they couldnt sit by and allow millions of women to subject themselves to something with such an ominous name as EPILATOR. Alas, the device does continue to live online. Since women willingly do it to themselves, that means were pretty much exempt from any type of protective legislation.
This would be less ridiculous if the idea of the Epilady® hadnt come about as somebodys idea of a more efficient alternative to waxing. Waxing, of course, entails the application of hot wax being applied to unwanted hair, where it adheres to every last strand, at which point someone can then rip it off, pulling each hair out by the root. Are you sensing a theme here? Evidently, its that pesky root thats causing all the problems. And the only means of combating it entails the use of ripping, plucking, burning and otherwise assaulting your poor skin. Just think how easy men have it when they go bald. Hair just painlessly falls out of their heads and disappears quietly without a trace. How lucky.
But the amount of pain that women will endure in the name of altering their bodies for the better really knows no limits. How about dermabrasion and chemical peels? Ive seen methods of paint removal that involved chemical peels. Is that the same principle? And if not, what exactly was the inspiration for modern exfoliation techniques? How long did someone walk around with this brilliant idea in their head about using harsh chemicals to literally peel a layer of skin off of someones face? My guess would be someone who watched a few too many bad 50s sci-fi flicks. Botox is another facial alteration that seems a bit out of this world. Personally, I dont feel any type of beauty treatment is worth giving up my ability to raise my eyebrows quizzically at people when they irritate me.
Immediate and intense pain are only part of the story though. There are many consequences that wont appear until well on down the road. High heels in particular, cause significant foot, knee and back pain in time. Quite often I warn my boss, who Ill call Melissa, about the dangers of Stiletto Overuse Syndrome. Thats actually not a real condition, but if youre going to pick on your boss, it helps to wrap it up inside of an impressive sounding malady. For some reason, calling it Barbie Doll Foot really annoys her.
Judging by the number of books, magazines and chunks of home shopping channel airtime devoted to the topic, its clear that women arent going to give up on painful beauty practices. Burn scars from careless curling iron episodes fade, and I cant prove that Ive ever actually contracted chemical pneumonia from my hair dye. So it looks like were in for a few hundred more years of burning, peeling, sandblasting, nipping, tucking, bruising, scraping, squeezing, tweezing, wrapping and permanently looking dour. Incidentally, that last sentence is also the name of the theme song Im currently writing for my Disney animated film.

There are several key ways to keep your team running smoothly. You'll need to track the progress of your Young Runners in order to reward them with patches and other incentives. As a coach, your role ranges from administrator to problem solver and mentor. And New York Road Runners will play a crucial role. Here's a guide to maintaining your Young Runners program.
During the first two weeks and the last two weeks of each season, your Young Runners will complete the One Mile Challenge to set and then evaluate their performance goals. Beginning in October, you will be able to enter One Mile Challenge times, Goal sheets, and Distance records into STRIDES. In the meantime, you should track these on the forms provided on the flash drive. As athletes reach their goals, reward them with the following incentives, and help them set new goals!
Students earn a patch for the first time they run a mile in under:
12 minutes • 10 minutes • 9 minutes • 8 minutes • 7 minutes • 6 minutes
Students earn a patch for the first time they run or walk the following distances without stopping (as long as their pace is 18 minute/mile or faster):
1 mile • 2 miles • 5 km (3.1 miles) • 4 miles
Students also earn a patch for the first time they run four miles in under:
45 minutes • 40 minutes • 36 minutes • 32 minutes
After your runners enter NYRR 4-mile races, NYRR will review official race results to see if your runners achieved the 4-mile time patches.
Eligible teams can receive a team trophy when everyone on the team has run/walked a 5K without stopping at an 18 minute/mile pace or better (55 minutes and 48 seconds). At the end of each season NYRR will select one team to receive the Effort Award Team Trophy based on their participation over the course of the season.
You are responsible for taking attendance at each practice and race or event. Young Runners accumulate attendance points and are eligible for incentives at various point-levels. Enter attendance into STRIDES once a week or once every two weeks. At the end of each season, NYRR will send incentives to all runners who earned them.
Nominate a member of your team each month to be the Runner of the Month by submitting the appropriate form, found on your flash drive. This award should be used to recognize athletes for such qualities as sportsmanship, improvement, positive attitude, and preparedness.
Refer to our Incentive Guide for more information about point-levels and incentives offered.
Coaching a Young Runners team is fun and rewarding, and also an important leadership position. You will wear many hats: intrepid leader, trusted guardian, the "rock" that both your students and NYRR can depend on. Here are your most important roles:
Entering information into STRIDES and submitting Participant Release forms is an important part of communication with NYRR. It ensures Young Runners receive their incentives and is reflected in the evaluation of your site. Keep your Field Coordinator up-to-date on the following:
You are an advisor and role model to your kids. When your attitude fosters effort and sportsmanship, you encourage your team members to feel the same way. You must also make sure everyone feels included and committed. Being committed to the team means arriving on time, respecting others, and working hard to break a sweat.
Safety and welfare should be your top priority. Collect emergency contact and medical information about all the runners. In cases of injury, you should fill out the Accident Report Form provided to you at the training and on your flash drive. Always follow your school or organization's safety protocols.
All coaches will face challenging situations, no matter how prepared you are. Here are a few typical scenarios you might encounter.
You are not alone! NYRR is dedicated to helping make your Young Runners program a success. Your primary contact will be your Field Coordinator. (If a problem arises with your Field Coordinator, contact the Program Manager of Young Runners immediately at email@example.com.) Here's what you can count on from NYRR:
You will receive weekly emails from the Program Manager of Young Runners. These include important details and deadlines for races, bus requests, and reminders of upcoming events. During race weeks you can also expect race-specific emails and bus-specific notices. If you are participating in a race and requested a bus but did not receive these emails, please write email@example.com.
Sites will be evaluated by the Field Coordinator and the Program Manager three times per year. After the second and third evaluation, the coach will receive an evaluation letter explaining how the site performed. The evaluation letter will provide a rating of 'Needs Improvement', 'On Target', or 'Outstanding'. If a site receives two consecutive 'Needs Improvement' ratings, NYRR will suspend support.
The Field Coordinator is the coach's primary contact with NYRR. All questions should be directed to him or her first. Field Coordinators will attend practice on a regular basis twice a month.
Field Coordinators will actively assist the coach at practices but should never be put in the position of being the primary adult supervision. Field Coordinators will collect team updates from coaches on a regular basis. Using these updates, NYRR will maintain an informational database for the team.
Use the forms we provide to keep track of all required information. Submit forms in a timely manner to your Field Coordinator. Remember these key steps:
In our experience, thorough preparation leads to engaged students, inspired coaches, enthusiastic administrators, and successful programs.
Time to start running! This section has guidelines and tips--from planing the first practice to keeping students motivated at the year's end.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 14 -- In an effort to help even more Americans who are uninsured and struggling financially, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) today launched new online resources designed to expand the program's outreach. "PPA 2.0," an evolution of the nationwide effort sponsored by America's pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, was unveiled here during a celebration of the PPA's five-year anniversary of helping patients obtain access to the medicines they need for free or nearly free. Since its debut in April 2005, PPA has helped more than 6.5 million Americans by connecting them to patient assistance programs.
These two important milestones were celebrated today at Indianapolis' Blackburn Health Center, where PPA's new national spokesman, Jerry Mathers, was joined by likely NFL Hall of Famer and former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis and four-time World Series Champion and legendary New York Yankees and New York Mets slugger Darryl Strawberry.
"Over the past five years, we've been from coast to coast, in all 50 states, helping people who are uninsured and struggling but our work is not yet done, said Ken Johnson, senior vice president of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). "The next generation of PPA employs the latest technology to give our partners, health care providers, patient advocates and patients themselves easier access to the help provided by patient assistance programs."
"PPA 2.0" introduces new online resources that expand community partnerships and enhance PPA's mobile and Internet presence to make it even easier to obtain information about PPA programs. In an effort to reach more people in more places, PPA is launching a new text hotline and smart phone application, in addition to the existing toll-free hotline and Web site, to ensure around-the-clock access to information about the more than 475 programs offered through the PPA. Nearly 200 of the programs are provided by pharmaceutical companies.
Jerry Mathers, an American TV icon who has diabetes, has traveled with the PPA to raise awareness of this devastating chronic disease and the help available through the PPA. Mathers is best known for his portrayal of "The Beaver" in the television classic, "Leave It To Beaver." Currently shown on TV Land and in countries throughout the world, "Leave It To Beaver" has made Jerry Mathers one of the most well-known actors in television history.
Also unveiled at the event is a new 60-second television public service announcement featuring Bettis and former New England Patriots star linebacker and patient advocate Tedy Bruschi, who team up to raise awareness of the PPA program. The PSA has been sent to more than 1,500 commercial television stations, 500 community TV stations and 500 cable systems throughout America.
"As a professional athlete with asthma, I realize how important it is for people battling chronic conditions to take their medication," explained Bettis. "This public service announcement is a great opportunity to share a free, easy and confidential way for people to get help."
Bruschi, who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots, suffered a debilitating stroke in February 2005, but returned to football just eight months later and was honored as the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year. "After my stroke, I was very fortunate to receive tremendous medical care and the medicines I needed," Bruschi said. "But others aren't as lucky. People who are uninsured and in need should pick up the phone or go to PPA's user-friendly Web site."
Patients seeking help with their medicines can call PPA's toll-free number (1-888-4-PPA-NOW) to talk to a trained operator or access the PPA Web site (www.pparx.org). It only takes 10 to 15 minutes to find out if someone may qualify for free or nearly free medications.
Patients who qualify for help from the PPA's participating patient assistance programs have access to more than 2,500 brand-name and generic prescription medicines. In addition, the PPA provides information on more than 10,000 free health care clinics in America and has connected more than 300,000 patients with clinics and health care providers in their communities.
"At a time when the national unemployment rate is at one of its highest in almost two decades, PPA has become an important lifeline for a growing number of patients," PhRMA's Johnson said. "With tens of thousands of Americans added to the jobless rolls over the last several months, there could be a sharp increase in the number of people losing health care benefits. This can be a scary time for those affected, especially considering the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and asthma."
Nationwide, more than 133 million Americans suffer from at least one chronic disease, which is responsible for seven out of every 10 deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"I've been traveling the country talking about the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, urging people to pick up the phone or log on to the Web site to see if they may qualify for assistance," said Mathers. "As a patient who must cope every day with the effects of diabetes, I understand only too well the importance of having access to the medicine you need."
More than 1,500 national, state and local partners, including the American Lung Association, American Cancer Society and National Urban League, are working with America's pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies to spread the word about the program. Trained specialists work with doctors, pharmacists, other health care providers and community groups, educating them on the process and use of PPA's easy-to-access Web site and toll-free number.
"We're excited that the Partnership for Prescription Assistance is celebrating its fifth anniversary and improving on a great program," said Jennifer Pferrer, Director at the local Diabetes Association of Indianapolis. "We look forward to helping even more patients in need with the efficient use of these new PPA resources."

Bill Davidow has a great essay over at The Atlantic that should be required reading for every would-be entrepreneur and venture capitalist on the planet -- really, for anyone in the tech game.
Davidow has quite the resume. He started with GE, moved to Hewlett-Packard in 1965, and then to Intel. He's a consultant, executive, book author, and venture capitalist with a doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford. He was making multi-million-dollar deals when Mark Zuckerberg was still making poopy in his Pampers.
[ Cringely says what we're all thinking: Privacy may be a joke to companies, but it's no laughing matter to the rest of us. | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Yes, he's a graybeard, schooled at the feet of giants, who's seen quite a bit of Silicon Valley history in his day. And what he sees today appalls him. In the essay titled "What Happened to Silicon Values?" Davidow takes today's tech giants to the woodshed for treating their customers like dirt:
Over the past five decades... I've become increasingly concerned about one thing that is seldom discussed: the valley is no longer as concerned about serving the customer, and even sees great opportunity in exploitation. We are beginning to act like the bankers who sold subprime mortgages to naïve consumers.
Ouch -- yet not entirely undeserved. Davidow scolds nearly all of the big boys -- Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Zynga -- for treating us like so much natural gas buried in the shale just waiting to get fracked.
Davidow blames greed, of course, as well as a two-tiered stock ownership system that allows the founders (and their VC benefactors) far too much control over the company. He also notes a sea change in how Silicon Valley operates. Back in his early days, tech companies sold mostly to industrial firms that spent millions of dollars with each vendor and had an equivalent amount of influence.
Today many Valley firms market to individuals, who have much less sway. Collectively, high-tech companies need us; individually, not so much.

Pierce defends TCD,WNHO administrative structure
Twin Cities Development Executive Director Rawnda Pierce says administering TCD and Western Nebraska Housing Opportunities with the same people is the most efficient way for the two organizations to operate. Thursday Scottsbluff council members Ray Gonzales and Scott Shaver said they favored having separate staffs for the two organizations.
Pierce says they have considered what the councilmen are suggesting, but even the state agencies the two organizations work with agree the current administrative structure is the most cost effective.
Pierce says WNHO has rehabilitated or constructed close to 45 new homes and added $3.5 million in valuation to Scottsbluff and Gering, approximately $1.8 million in each community. Fourteen of those homes were constructed by Magnolia Homes in a cooperative TCD project with the city of Gering and helped the struggling local business stay afloat.
Gonzales and Shaver would also like to have a council member on the TCD Board who has voting authority, but Pierce says the board was reorganized several years ago to have only private sector members to remove politics from any decision.

POLICE have released CCTV images of two men suspected of stealing baby food from a supermarket.
Two men entered Co-op in Spa Road, Hockley, together at about 1pm on Tuesday, March 25, before splitting up once inside the store.
The pair are both believed to have picked up £60 worth of baby food from the shelves and placed the items in bags they were carrying.
Staff challenged the men and some goods were recovered, but they ran off from the shop with the remainder.
Anyone who recognises the pair is asked to call PC Lucy Bearman at Rayleigh Police Station on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The Dallas Cowboys are interested in Monte Kiffin for their open defensive coordinator position, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Dallas fired Rob Ryan on Tuesday following a season when the Cowboys finished 14th in total yards allowed and gave up 25 points a game.
Kiffin made his name by building one of the NFL's best defenses in Tampa Bay with his famous "Tampa 2" coverage scheme. He spent 12 years with the Buccaneers, helping them move from NFL doormat to Super Bowl champion. Following his time with Tampa Bay, he worked as the defensive coordinator for his son, Lane Kiffin, at college coaching stops in Tennessee and USC.
The "Tampa 2" didn't have the same success in the college ranks, as practice limitations made it difficult for the complicated system to be implemented. The system was also built to stop pro-style offenses, and struggled against the wider variety in the college game. Getting back to the NFL could be a good thing for Kiffin.
The Kansas City Chiefs also expressed interest in Kiffin, but have since fallen out of the running, according to Chiefs blog Arrowhead Pride.

Saving money for vacation really consists of two parts: saving money prior to travel and saving money while you travel. Obviously, you need cash before you can hit the road or take to the skies. But if you're able to cut costs at your destination and during transit, acquiring the necessary funds will be a much swifter process. We'll give you the first half of the equation and direct you to some neat tech tools for saving money at home.
Mobile finance apps: Phones get a little more versatile every day. And with advancements in NFC and mobile payment options, they're steadily usurping the contents of our wallets. In addition to convenience, the merger of cash and tech means smarter spending. Not only can your phone pay for purchases, but it can advise financial decisions. There are a few cool apps smartphone users should be sure to check out:
- PageOnce provides a comprehensive summary and analysis of your accounts, debts and investments. By providing a breakdown of your purchases and deposits, it's easy to see where your money is going. PageOnce allows you to track and pay bills anywhere at any time. It can track frequent flyer miles, rewards and mobile minutes, texts and data usage.
- Debt Dog is a simple, but useful, interest calculator and credit card payment planner. You plug in your APR and purchase total, and Debt Dog calculates your minimum monthly payment, how long it will take to pay off and the total amount you'll end up spending. If you want to pay more than the minimum each month, you can add additional dollars and recalculate your plan. Debt Dog is a good quick-reference tool for big purchases that might take some time to pay off.
- iWallet creates budgets with intuitive graphic displays of your spending. You set spending categories will specified limits, and iWallet shows how well you're sticking to your budget. Budgeting is vital for folks trying to save money, but keeping track of every purchase takes diligence and constant calculations. iWallet does the work for you, providing instant access to all the relevant information wherever, whenever.
If you're saving up, a piggybank can be an invaluable tool. But leaving large amounts of cash sitting around (no matter how well hidden) isn't always prudent. SmartyPig.com is an online piggybank for saving for specific purchases (your wedding, a new television, your next vacation etc.). It's like a bank-less savings account with a lot of neat perks and extra features.
With no membership or withdrawal fees, SmartyPig is completely cost-free. In fact, they give you money to utilize their services. You earn cash back at a 0.70% APR. There are also features in place like the SmartyPig Cash Rewards Card to give you an added boost. You set up automatic deposits from your savings or checking account and let your piggy fill up. If you so choose, you can share your savings plans with friends and family on social media sites and give them the option to make contributions.
NerdWallet discounts tool
Online rewards malls can save you big money on just about anything you could possibly purchase. Basically, retailers partner with rewards programs, providing accelerated rewards rates when you shop with those retailers. For example, if you use a Chase rewards credit card, you have access to the Chase Ultimate Rewards Mall. When you access the mall, you earn 3 points per dollar at Wal-Mart, 6 points per dollar at Barnes & Noble and 10 points per dollar at Macy's. These rates get to be pretty staggering, reaching earnings of up to 20%. Not too shabby, considering most rewards programs have a base rewards rate of 1%.
The NerdWallet Discounts Tool is a database of rewards malls and their corresponding retailers. You can browse stores to see which program yields the highest rewards, or you can browse rewards malls to see rates at each eligible retailer. (ShopDiscover is easily the best mall, offering high return rates in the form of cash back.) So before you go shopping, see if you can earn a little extra cash by staying home and shopping online.
Travel credit cards
Obtaining a travel credit card is one of the smartest moves you can make if you need cash for airfare. They generally come with signup bonuses (up to 50,000 miles with the Chase Sapphire Preferred) that can give you an immediate access to free flights. As you use your card, you'll accumulate points or miles that can be redeemed for travel purchases. Make sure you nab a card that has both a nice signing bonus and a substantial ongoing rewards rate. If you're traveling internationally, look for something with no foreign transaction fee. Otherwise, you'll pay 3% extra for every out-of-country purchase.
A lot of airlines have their own credit cards, but you should avoid limiting yourself to these programs unless you regularly fly with a certain airline. Otherwise, they won't do you much good. A more general card that doesn't limit your choices will be of greater value to most travelers.

Stop me if you've heard this one before.
No, don't stop me, because you have heard this one before, umpty-bazillion times. The Oakland Athletics want to move to San Jose; the San Francisco Giants, who own the baseball territory there, don't want that. Commissioner Bud Selig was to rule on this
three years two years a year six months ago, but obviously, that hasn't happened.
In the Los Angeles Times, Bill Shaikin writes it could happen soon:
There are indications Selig might rule by the end of the year. Yet, rather than say yes or no, Selig appears to be considering a ruling that could challenge both the A's and Giants to fulfill certain criteria.
"I think there will be an effort to be Solomonesque," said someone who has spoken with Selig but declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue. "This is not a 'yes or no' sort of thing."
Bud Selig Solomonesque? This I gotta see.
But seriously, if the Giants aren't budging now, what could Selig tell them before the end of the year that could change their minds? Shaikin posits some ideas, including funding for a possible new stadium in Oakland, but that likely isn't there. And then there's this:
The wild card is legal action — by the A's or Giants, by Oakland or San Jose, or by third parties — that could stall the issue in court for years. If the A's and Giants meet in the World Series, Selig might be better off letting the teams play for the championship, and for the rights to San Jose.
Now that would be fun: winner gets San Jose. Much more fun than "This Time It Counts", anyway.

Most kids see summer break as a chance to kick back and tune out until the next school year.
But research has shown they need to keep their minds active throughout the warm months to keep from sliding backward.
And even though there's one thing that's sure to be on the mind of your kids this summer (a break), teachers say that shouldn't be the only thing on their minds.
"It's so frustrating when you come back and you're like, 'Okay, we stopped. Let's go.' and they aren't ready to go because they've had a whole summer with their brains on vacation," said Courtnie Broadus, a math teacher at Tongue River High School in Sheridan County.
So educators say do something -- anything, really -- to keep your mind going.
"I don't think they need to buy a specific workbook," she said, "but I think they just need to be open to thinking about things and calculating things."
Calculating things like tips in your head or how much money you're going to make at your job.
"If you come back your senior year and you're not entirely prepared, you don't remember last year, you're obviously going to have kind of a hard time," said rising senior Sarah Maze.
"Do lots of reading, lots of periodicals," P.J. Marshall, a social studies teacher, said. "Watch the news."
"Read good books, too," he went on. "Enjoyable books, books that make you smile, books that bring joy to your heart."
But just as important as keeping up with work, Marshall said, is keeping up with play.
"Go fishing, go camping, be with family, be with friends, laugh a lot."
"It's all about finding stuff you'd enjoy doing anyway," said Donovan Powers, another rising senior. It is, after all, a break.
Tongue River High School is also offering a couple online summer electives this year, like digital arts.
Administrators say they expect some kids to opt for almost year-round school when more choices become available.

If you are still planning your summertime out of town trip take time to protect your property and identity. That preparation can save you a lot of headaches. A closer look in this week's News 13 Problem Solver report.
Vacation. It can be one of the best times of the year. But, how many people who are now enjoying their time away from home on the white sands or elsewhere realize that criminals may be taking advantage of their time away from home.
Something to think about. Home burglaries usually peak during the summer months...that's according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI says the number reaches 53% during the daytime hours.
So take a moment to check these safety tips from the Better Business Bureau of Northwest Florida.
And another reminder, if you are on the lookout for a security company to protect your home, you can check out their review on the Better Business Bureau website.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A Florida-based company started the process to open an iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin.
Gogebic Taconite filed an exploratory drilling application Thursday with the Department of Natural Resources. The agency will now review the application and make a decision in 10 business days.
In April, Governor Scott Walker signed a bill that streamlines the mining permitting process.
If Gogebic obtains a state permit it still must receive federal approval for the mine since it would affect federal wetlands. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says that permit process could take up to four years.
Mine supporters say it will help create thousands of jobs. Critics are concerned about its effect on the environment.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Logan Schafer's three-run triple highlighted a four-run fourth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-3 in the second portion of a three-game set from Wrigley Field.
After a Jonathan Lucroy single and Aramis Ramirez walk, Scooter Gennett squeezed a grounder past Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro to plate Lucroy. Caleb Gindl worked a walk before Schafer stroked a line drive out to left-center field for a triple and 4-2 Brewers edge.
Lucroy had two hits while Johnny Hellweg (1-3) earned his first career win. The right-hander surrendered three runs on four hits across six innings for the Brewers, who have won two of their last three.
Jake Arrieta (2-2) lasted five innings and gave up three hits, four runs and three walks for the Cubs, who have dropped three of their last five. Luis Valbuena hit an early two-run homer in defeat.
The Cubs got back within 4-3 in the home sixth, when Brian Bogusevic launched a fly ball out to right off Hellweg.
Alberto Cabrera started the eighth for Chicago and walked Aramis Ramirez with one down. Zac Rosscup entered and, after fanning Gennett, walked both Gindl and Yuniesky Betancourt to load the bases. He rebounded to induce a fly out to center from Carlos Gomez to halt the Milwaukee attack.
The Brewers tacked on an insurance run in the ninth. Norichika Aoki reached first on another fielding error by Castro, then two batters later, Lucroy brought him around on a fly to right that eluded a diving Ryan Sweeney for a 5-3 game.
Jim Henderson pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 23rd save of the season.
The hosts hit the scoreboard in the second, when Bogusevic worked a leadoff walk and came around when Valbuena cleared the wall in right.
Castro's hitting streak ended at seven games ... Chicago was 0-for-3 with
runners in scoring position and left four, while Milwaukee went 2-for-10 and
stranded nine ... Gennett struck out three times.

from the National Women's Health Resource Center's e-newsletter, HealthyWomen Take 10
What's the best predictor of your child's enjoyment of physical activity?
a) cool new sneakers
b) focused skills training
c) your support of the activity
Okay, so you knew it was a loaded question. The answer is (c)-kids are more physically active when their parent encourages and supports that interest.
Such support boosts children's positive attitude toward exercise as well as their interest in organized sports. And when you participate in free-time physical activity with your daughter or son, you increase her or his enjoyment of unstructured fitness fun.
You don't have to excel at any sport to work this magic with your kids. Try these ideas for playing and being active together:
