Of course Josh Beckett is scheduled to be on the hill on Tuesday night. You expected someone else to serve as the face of the trade deadline for the Red Sox?
In so many ways, Beckett has been a defining presence on the Red Sox for the last 10 months. He is the one who is portrayed publicly as the chief culprit in the "toxic" clubhouse environment, the pitcher who is still most deeply associated by the public with the beer-and-chicken controversy, the one who has dealt with shoulder and thumb injuries this year, the one who went golfing on an off-day after being scratched with some minor lat soreness.
In the eyes of the public, Beckett has become a caricature rather than a pitcher or a person, and so the words about him have been repeated so often that they have become implicit and almost impossible to shake: 'Entitled,' 'arrogant,' 'indifferent, 'self-absorbed,' 'uncoachable,' and on and on the list goes.
And so, just as surely as those words are attached to him, a corresponding notion has captured the public imagination. Nevermind the return: dump the entitled, arrogant, indifferent, self-absorbed, uncoachable pitcher whose failures last September sabotaged the Red Sox' season and whose poor performance this year (5-9, 4.57 ERA) has dragged the team to a point where a playoff spot, while not an impossibility, is a longshot.
Beckett must go. The right-hander must be traded. That is the tone that seems to surround Beckett, treating him as a sort of successor to Manny Ramirez in 2008, a player who needed to be dealt at all costs.
At the July 31 deadline four years ago, the Sox agreed with their slugger's assessment that enough was enough. The team picked up the entirely of his remaining salary at the deadline – approximately $6 million – in order to move him to the Dodgers, with Jason Bay coming back to Boston.
And now, there is a similar feeling surrounding Beckett. But such vehement sentiments ignore a significant reality about the pitcher: He's not Manny Ramirez.
The Sox had reached the point in 2008 where they could no longer live through keeping Ramirez on their roster. He engaged in acts of outright mutiny, inventing injuries, declining to play, going through the motions when on the field. Ramirez was sick of the Red Sox, and his teammates had reached a similar point with him.
Beckett is different. He remains a popular clubhouse presence, one who cares about the performance of his team (witness his ejection on Sunday night while arguing a blown call during a Will Middlebrooks at-bat).
As such, the Sox do not feel any compulsion to move the right-hander. They'd reached a breaking point with Ramirez in 2008. The same cannot be said of Beckett right now.
"I don't see any parallel [between Ramirez and Beckett]," said Sox GM Ben Cherington on Friday, a sentiment since echoed by several team front office and clubhouse sources. "Josh has taken the ball whenever he possibly can for as long as he's been here. He's taken the ball some days when probably he shouldn't have, frankly, and he was hurt. Any time he's able to pitch, he wants to pitch, and he's pitched well over the course of his time here."
Some team officials and players scoffed at the notion of addition by subtraction when it comes to the right-hander, feeling that those who suggest such an idea simply don't understand Beckett's place in the clubhouse.
"Everyone thinks he's just a hard-ass, Texas, 'I'm going to do it my way or the highway' kind of guy. He's not," said Jon Lester. He's a great teammate. He's taught me a lot about pitching and a lot about being a professional. I'm sure if you talked to Clay [Buchholz], he'd say the same thing.
"He's taught a lot of us. We've followed in his shoes as far as a work ethic and what we're doing on the field, the way we pitch, the way we go after hitters, the way we prepare for games. He's helped a lot of people in this organization, especially a lot of young guys. He helped Drake [Britton] this spring training. That's a tough guy to lose out of your organization just because of the way people perceive him."
That said, there is unquestionably a willingness on the part of the Sox to explore the possibility of moving the right-hander. The team was not merely listening on offers but engaging teams in creative exchanges of ideas to see if there was a deal to be had.
By all accounts, the most probable scenario is that the right-hander remains with the Red Sox and makes his start against the Tigers on Tuesday night. Depending on which major league source you ask, with less than 24 hours to the deadline for non-waiver trades, a swap that would send the longtime Sox starter elsewhere was less than a "less than 50-50" proposition, "unlikely" or "not happening." As of Monday night, according to a source, the Red Sox hadn't gotten close enough to a deal at any point to consider approaching the pitcher about waiving his 10-5 right (10 years of major league service, five with one team) to veto a trade.
That reflects the complex reality facing the Sox with Beckett. Beyond the simplistic bluster about "Beckett must go," the team faces a far more challenging landscape when it comes to determining what to do with the right-hander and longtime staff anchor. A look at some of the considerations in play with him:
Public perception
There comes a point where perception is reality. And undoubtedly, the Red Sox at some point will have to confront the question of whether they can continue to have a team with one of its central figures being someone whose public reputation has been so sullied -- in no small part by the pitcher's relentlessly unapologetic public attitude, which often comes off as something between indifference and antipathy to the people who pay to see his team play.
Former GM Theo Epstein characterized a "monster" -- the need for success on- and off-field, to drive ratings, to drive marketing, to drive business and to fuel every level of the Red Sox organization -- that drove the team, at times, to make signings that ran counter to the team's long-term interest. The decision to sign Beckett to a four-year, $68 million deal might qualify.
If that is the case, then how would the aforementioned monster receive the idea of having a rotation next year that featured both Beckett and Lackey, two of the least popular team figures in recent memory. Even though the negative public sentiment surrounding Beckett runs counter to his clubhouse status, it is something with which the Sox must contend.
"I've seen it in the past with other teams where the perception of a guy can get him moved," said Lester. "I would hope [it doesn't happen with Beckett]. I've known [GM Ben Cherington] a long time. I would think Ben wouldn't do that. If Ben makes a move, that's solely based on helping Josh and helping this team. I don't think it's a vendetta of, the fans don't like him, media doesn't like him, whatever. I think Ben's pretty level-headed when it comes to things like that."
Still, the weight of public sentiment makes it more difficult to retain the player not just from a PR standpoint, but also because it makes it more difficult for the player himself to achieve success.
Beckett, in discussing his 10-5 rights on Friday, mentioned his desire to stay in Boston but only if he's still wanted. Lester acknowledged that if Beckett agreed to waive his 10-5 rights in order to be traded, then it was because there was a better environment in which he could play.
"We all want him here more than anything," said Lester. "It's a tough decision, and at the same time, it's one of those bittersweet things. Because he can make that decision, it's probably better for him or it's probably better for the organization.
"As long as the organization has the best interests of guys, that's the No. 1 goal. If you're going to be better off somewhere else, then everyone here is going to be happy for him and support him."
Financial relief
The Sox didn't enjoy the boxed-in position they faced this offseason, when they had little latitude to maneuver because of their long-term commitments. Yet as things stand, while there will be some money coming off the books this coming offseason (the departed Kevin Youkilis and Daisuke Matsuzaka come foremost to mind), the team still has about $100 million in its payroll accounted for in the form of its long-term deals to players like Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, John Lackey, Clay Buchholz, Jon Lester and Dustin Pedroia.
Buchholz, Lester and Pedroia still represent relative bargains given their talent, especially when considering the modest hit that their long-term deals represent when calculated for luxury tax purposes (Lester is a $6 million a year player, Buchholz a $7.5 million player and Pedroia a $6.75 million player). The Sox can't really afford to trade any of them.
Of the other four, Beckett, interestingly, might be the most tradable. Gonzalez, despite his struggles, is still viewed as a building block, and besides, no team takes on a player who is still owed over $130 million in the middle of a season. Crawford's potential for Tommy John surgery, coupled with the more than $100 million he's owed, makes him virtually impossible to deal. As Lackey recovers from Tommy John, he obviously is going nowhere. That leaves Beckett, whose $37 million financial commitment is immense isn't so enormous that it rules out the possibility of a deal that would offer the Sox some meaningful – if incomplete – payroll relief.
Health and declining stuff
Beckett receives lauds within the Sox organization for pitching through pain without ever mentioning his maladies. But there's a corollary to that.
The fact that his shoulder reached a point where it did not permit him to pitch when he landed on the DL in June underscores the fact that the condition of that valued joint is no small matter. Nor is the fact that his fastball velocity has dropped by about 2-3 mph in the course of one season.
That's not to suggest that Beckett can't be an effective pitcher with diminished stuff. He can. He's demonstrated that in substantial stretches this year, and in the fact that despite his 5-9 record and 4.57 ERA, his 10 quality starts in 17 outings this year give him the highest percentage of anyone on the team.
Even so, if the Sox harbor concerns that Beckett's shoulder is only going to get worse, and that his stuff inevitably will face further decline, then it could motivate the team to make a deal as soon as possible, even at pennies on the dollar. If the frenzied compulsion by other teams to bolster their starting rotations at the deadline would leave clubs willing to sign off on an acquisition of the pitcher, long-term health concerns be damned, then the Sox might have reason to strike if the proverbial iron heats up. (And again, no sign of that happening just yet.)
They want to contend
Here's the issue with trading Beckett: What do you do to replace him?
On the surface, the question seems almost silly given that the team is 6-11 in games he's started. But everyone on the Red Sox insists that such a mark is not a reflection of how Beckett has pitched (again, it's important to be mindful of that quality start percentage), but of a number of factors beyond his control, most notably, run support. Certainly, the team is mindful of statistics such as FIP (fielding independent pitching), which suggest that Beckett has been a vastly better pitcher than more conventional statistics indicate. (For what it's worth, Beckett's FIP -- a number meant to reflect an ERA-equivalent that separates a pitcher's performance from defensive luck -- of 3.53 this year is better than the 3.57 mark that he had a year ago.)
"You've got to take the win-loss record with a grain of salt," said Cherington last Friday. "We've had a lot of good teams here with rotations made up of guys whose performances look a lot like Josh Beckett's this year. His performance is not our problem.
"We're trying to improve our team. We're trying to improve our pitching. He's been an effective starting pitcher in the American League East this year. However you want to look at it, that's what he's been. We're not doing anything to help us if we take that off the table. We're trying to improve things."
If Beckett is removed from the rotation, are the Sox better? Can they compete?
Lester didn't know where to begin to answer that question, navigating the need to remain loyal to a teammate with the refusal to give up hope if he's traded.
"It's hard to speculate. It's hard to envision when it's not real," he said. "I mean, I think we'll be fine if he's not here. We've got other guys who can step in and do a good job. Who would have thought Felix (Doubront) would be able to do what he's done this year? We can do what we need to do. That being said, obviously we want him here to compete.
"He's obviously very important. He's still Josh Beckett. It's an important part of our staff, an important part of our team, an important part of our clubhouse. Any time you lose an important presence like that, if he does go, it's tough. You have to find somebody else who's going to fill his role. It's hard to find pitchers who can do what he's done in his career."
Sure, the team could return Franklin Morales to the rotation, but it would be a mistake to shrug off Beckett as a pitcher who is easily replaced, particularly given the uncertainties of track record that confront Morales and Doubront, the struggles of Lester this year or the unique formula for success that Aaron Cook is trying to negotiate.
There is a reason why there has been market curiosity about Beckett as a fallback to other more-heralded options (Zach Greinke, Ryan Dempster, etc.). He has proven over a number of years that he has the stuff and competitiveness to work in baseball's toughest division.
Within the Sox, that view remains unchanged.
"I would want him on my staff anywhere I was, no matter where I was. No question," said Sox pitching coach Bob McClure. "To me, he's one of the best. I'll put it to you this way. I would take him on my pitching staff any day, any time, any year, no question about it, for a lot of reasons – his makeup, his competitiveness, his leadership, a lot of things. There are just so many things in my opinion as a pitching coach, qualities that he has, that I think are real good.
"To me, he has a lot of value. You name it, he's got it, in good ways."
Team sources continue to suggest that their goal at the deadline is a major league upgrade rather than a lateral move or a deal that would set back the team's chances in 2012. And herein lies another key difference between Beckett and Ramirez: Whereas the Sox were able to land Jason Bay when dumping Ramirez, the same is not true of Beckett. There's no sign that the team can acquire someone with the credentials of a legitimate mid-rotation starter in the AL East. That makes the idea of a Beckett deal even more challenging.
They want to maximize the return – and the financial relief
The middle of the summer is typically a time when teams that part with players must assume the greatest amount of their remaining contracts. Budgets are less flexible during the season than they are in the offseason.
As more than one major league source noted in recent days, the team is not looking to dump Beckett simply for the sake of doing so. A trade has to be for the betterment of the team, whether in the players received in return or the financial relief afforded by moving him. The team doesn't feel like it's under the gun to make a deal right now regardless of the return or offer.
That being the case, the Sox aren't going to, say, pick up $30 million of his remaining balance with little player return. Doing so would hamstring the club for years to come.
After all, financial transfers to subsidize old contracts count against the team's payroll as calculated for luxury tax purposes. If the Sox pick up a huge amount of Beckett's deal and then sign another pitcher in the offseason (for the sake of argument, let's say the team signs a pitcher like Hiroki Kuroda to the same sort of one-year, $10 million deal he received from the Yankees this past season), it would be a double whammy for luxury tax purposes.
Rather than helping the Sox to get under the luxury tax threshold – an important goal for the team by 2014 – subsidizing a Beckett trade heavily could have the opposite effect of nudging the Sox towards (and perhaps over) the threshold.
If the Sox deal Beckett now, it would most likely reflect a conclusion that mid-year desperation was prompting a trade partner to offer the best available package. But more likely, if the team waits until the offseason, the market would be broader and the budgets for acquiring him would be at their most flexible. So long as the Sox are not concerned that health issues will sabotage the pitcher's trade value over the duration of the season, the offseason would likely be the time when the team could not only identify the most robust market for his services, but when the team would be best positioned to pursue its own alternatives thanks to the avenue of free agency.
Beckett wields a veto
Beckett, of course, has control over the process as well. Part of the challenge of dealing him is the remaining money on his contract, part of it is the fact that his industry reputation (like his public reputation) has taken a beating and part of it is that, as a 10-5 player, he gets to say whether or not he'd accept a deal. That, too, amplifies the challenge of a deal, particularly in the compressed timeframe of the trade deadline.
None of these factors is insurmountable, of course, which is why a Beckett deal is mostly being characterized as highly unlikely rather than impossible. Who knows? With Roy Oswalt getting lit up on Monday night and the number of available starting pitchers continuing to dwindle, perhaps the Rangers pick up the phone and go all in for a Beckett deal.
But the complexities and potential drawbacks of a deal right now remain considerable, to the point where, in all likelihood, Beckett will find himself in the very familiar setting of the mound at Fenway Park for first pitch on Tuesday night against the Tigers.

Web Browsing On Kindle 2 Via USB To PC

Apparently a dude named Jesse figured out how to surf the web via a USB connection to PC by tinkering with the built-in debug mode. Now why would anyone want to bypass the 3G connection? I'll go with just because they could.
Maybe you're thinking, "hmm what if we went the other way and used the Kindle as a 3G modem device?" Tempting but forget it. This method only works as described and even if you could, Amazon would likely spear you and ban you for life.

Edgar Degas
Jockeys on Horseback before Distant Hills, 1884
"This painting speaks to my inner self: a horse-obsessed 8 year old girl. The jockey wearing the red coat and hat rides his horse at a relaxed walk. To the right of him is a tiny red dot. It's a jockey in the distance riding at a gallop; the legs of his steed are fully extended. Degas captured what I have always loved about horses—the way they move. "

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
You might be using InDesign CS6, but a client or a colleague may still be using InDesign CS5.5 or 5 or even CS4, and if you send them your InDesign file, they won't be able to open it. Instead they'll get a nasty alert saying, they don't have the right plug-ins. So what you're going to do? What will you do? Well, the trick is to send them an IDML file, technically an InDesign Markup Language file. It's an XML thing, you don't need to worry about it. It's just an IDML file that they can open.
You can make an IDML file in one of two ways. You can go to File menu, choose Export, and then choose from the Format pop-up menu InDesign Markup or IDML. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it, perhaps even easier, is choosing Save As from the File menu, and when you choose Save As, you can choose IDML from the Format pop-up menu. InDesign warns you that saving as an IDML is not truly a save as, that is, it doesn't do anything to this file here, it's literally exporting IDML.
They just put it in the Save As dialog box, because a lot of people couldn't find it in the Export; they didn't know that it was there. InDesign warns you that you're not really doing a save as, it's not changing your document in any way, it doesn't change the name of this or anything. All it's literally doing is exporting IDML. The same thing as the other export feature, but in InDesign CS6, Adobe put the IDML feature into the Save As dialog box, because so many people could not find it in the Export dialog box; they didn't know where to look.
Anyway, when you click Save, you'll get your IDML file that you can send to somebody else and they'll be able to open it. But remember, using IDML to save backward is not seamless; no matter what you've heard. Some things can get lost and your documents can change, sometimes radically when you open a file in an earlier version. For example, let's say, your document contains more than one page size, something that I'm going to explain in the later chapter. All of those page sizes are lost if you open the IDML file in CS4, because it doesn't know about multiple page sizes; it doesn't have that feature.
So what you expected to do? All the pages end up the same size. Nevertheless IDML can be a useful technique, especially if you're working with simple documents and you can't convince everyone you work with to upgrade.

|Winthrop beats UNC Asheville 87-67
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 17 January 2009 18:10
Winthrop (4-12, 3-4 Big South Conference) had four players score in double figures for the first time this season, and shot 62.5 percent from the field for the game.
Cameron Stanley and Andre Jones each scored 13, and Reggie Middleton chipped in 11.
Matt Dickey led the Bulldogs (8-10, 4-3) with 23 points.
The Eagles limited Asheville's leading scorer Reid August to 12 points. August entered the game averaging 15.8 points a game and shooting 58 percent from the floor against conference opponents.
The 87 points scored by the Eagles is the highest total by a Randy Peele-coached Winthrop squad, and are the most scored since an 80-70 road win at Virginia Military Institute on Feb 28 of last year.

For the better part of four quarters the Sierra High sophomore football team held visiting Tracy High in check, but in the game's final minutes the Bulldogs did the unthinkable, scoring with four seconds left for a 14-13 come-from-behind win.
STOCKTON - The East Union Lancers took on a heavyweight in week zero.
Ripon racked up nearly 450 yards of total offense and rolled to a 45-0 victory over Bret Harte in Angels Camp Friday, but the coaches didn't leave entirely satisfied.
East Union High's freshman football team got a boost of confidence despite suffering a season-opening loss to St. Mary's Thursday at Dino Cunial Field.
With the beginning of the season mere days away, Ripon High had a tad bit more at stake than the host Manteca Buffaloes who have no week zero assignment.
Sierra High's boys and girls swim teams picked up two easy wins over Lathrop and Weston Ranch Friday.
The North/South Rotary All-Star Football Classic, played annually in Chowchilla, will feature Ripon High players for the first time.
T.J. Williams caught just 13 passes during East Union's Cinderella 2010 football season.
The numbers are staggering:
Ripon High's Jake McCreath was recognized with a major award while selected to both the first-team offense and defense by the Trans-Valley League.
The Oakdale High football team reaped the rewards of a dominant run through the Valley Oak League this past fall.
SACRAMENTO - The loss wasn't what hurt. The taxing physical struggle with the stout Pride of Bradshaw Christian wasn't the cause of the pain.
RIPON – There was little doubt as to who was the superior team after Ripon Christian's crushing 60-26 victory over Sierra Ridge Saturday in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V playoff opener. Just as there was little doubt as to who was the game's most dominant player.
Manteca High's Guss Schmiedt Field was a sloppy, slippery mess Friday, and the cold wind made for even harsher conditions.
RIPON – It all came down to a single drive.
The compliments have come rushing in for the Sierra High football team and its defensive leader, Trevon McCray. He's been called "the best player on the field" by Ripon coach Chris Johnson following the Timberwolves' season-opening 54-7 victory. Teammates often refer to the middle linebacker as an "animal" for his tenacious play on Friday evenings.
Jeff Harbison's well-intentioned pre-league schedule produced favorable results, but not the type of games he had hoped for his Sierra football team.
R.J. Tisdell racked up nearly 150 all-purpose yards to lead the Lathrop sophomores to a 36-0 win over host Weston Ranch to open the Valley Oak League campaign on Friday.
The Manteca freshmen embarked on a 16-play, six-minute drive late in the fourth quarter Thursday capped by a 1-yard scoring plunge by Michael Frisby to defeat Central Catholic 14-13 in the Valley Oak League opener at Guss Schmiedt Field.
MODESTO - No Montell Bland?
MODESTO – Dakarai Charles stood near the 40-yard line, watching Central Catholic chew up the fourth quarter clock.
TRACY – Sierra remained undefeated Friday and opened the Valley Oak League campaign with a 55-20 shellacking of host Kimball at Don Nicholson Stadium.
For the first time ever, the Lathrop High Spartans took home the prize.
OAKDALE – The East Union football team had a tough opening assignment on Friday evening.
Eric Reis believes his Manteca football team to be the underdog for Friday's Valley Oak League opener at Central Catholic - just the way he likes it.
Ask Manteca coach Eric Reis what impresses him most about Central Catholic and the answer stretches on and on.

Where is same-sex marriage legal?
Updated November 26, 2014
For a month, it looked like the U.S. might arrive at same-sex marriage in all 50 states without the U.S. Supreme Court making the call.
Of the 11 federal appeals-court circuits, three had already achieved same-sex marriage in every state therein via one route or another, and four more had recently seen appeals-court rulings come into force covering all states therein.
That left only four circuits to go, encompassing the final 15 states where same-sex marriage isn't legal.
But that all changed Nov. 6 when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit upheld same-sex marriage bans in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee.
A day later, the lawyers for the gay side in all four states decided to skip asking the 6th Circuit to reconsider the matter with a larger panel of judges and instead go directly to SCOTUS for a ruling that would have national effect. The appeals arrived at the Supreme Court on Nov. 14 and 17.
Because a "split" now exists among the circuits on the question of whether it's unconstitutional for states to ban gay marriage, the Supreme Court is likely to take the case, with a ruling most likely to come next spring.
And the Supreme Court may have tipped its hand Nov. 12, when it refused to stop same-sex marriages from starting in Kansas, its first move on marriage after the 6th Circuit ruling. (Justices Scalia and Thomas said they would have granted the stay request.) It did the same thing again Nov. 20, allowing same-sex marriage to go ahead in South Carolina.
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE is legal in the Netherlands (2001), Belgium (2003), Canada (2005), Spain (2005), South Africa (2006), Norway (2009), Sweden (2009), Argentina (2010), Iceland (2010), Portugal (2010), Denmark (2012), France (2013), Brazil (2013), Uruguay (2013), New Zealand (2013), England and Wales (2014), Scotland (starting Dec. 31) and Luxembourg (starting early 2015).
Same-sex marriages also have taken place on the Caribbean islands of Saba, a municipality of the Netherlands (2012), and Martinique, an overseas region of France (2013).
In Mexico, same-sex marriage is available in the Federal District (Mexico City) and the states of Coahuila and Quintana Roo -- and, for some couples who filed legal cases, in the states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Colima, Jalisco, Oaxaca and Yucatán. The marriages are recognized nationwide by Supreme Court order. Mexico has 31 states.
In Colombia, a handful of same-sex couples have managed to get married since September 2013, but the situation remains fluid. Latest here.
In Australia, same-sex couples were able to marry in the Australian Capital Territory from Dec. 7, 2013, to Dec. 12, 2013, under a special "same-sex marriage" law the territory enacted. On Dec. 12, Australia's High Court invalidated the law and the marriages, pointing out that marriage is a matter of federal law in Australia.
IN THE UNITED STATES, same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts (2004), California (2008 for four months, then 2013 for good), Connecticut (2008), Vermont (2009), Iowa (2009), New Hampshire (2010), Washington, D.C. (2010), New York (2011), Maine (2012), Maryland (2012), Washington (2012), Delaware (2013), Rhode Island (2013), Minnesota (2013), New Jersey (2013), Hawaii (2013), New Mexico (2013), Oregon (2014), Pennsylvania (2014), Illinois (2014), Colorado (Oct. 6, 2014), Indiana (Oct. 6, 2014), Oklahoma (Oct. 6, 2014), Utah (Oct. 6, 2014), Virginia (Oct. 6, 2014), Wisconsin (Oct. 6, 2014), West Virginia (Oct. 9, 2014), Nevada (Oct. 9, 2014), North Carolina (Oct. 10, 2014), Idaho (Oct. 15, 2014), Arizona (Oct. 17, 2014), Alaska (Oct. 17, 2014), Wyoming (Oct. 21, 2014), Kansas (Nov. 12, 2014), Montana (Nov. 19, 2014) and South Carolina (Nov. 20, 2014). It also is legal in the independent city of St. Louis, Missouri (Nov. 5, 2014), the separate county of St. Louis (Nov. 5, 2014) and Jackson County, Missouri, which includes Kansas City (Nov. 7, 2014). That's 35 states, the District of Columbia and places in Missouri.
What's the deal in Missouri? Since Oct. 6, 2014, when Attorney General Chris Koster opted not to appeal a marriage-recognition ruling from a state court in Kansas City, Missouri has recognized same-sex marriages from anywhere in the world. Then, on Nov. 5, 2014, a state judge in St. Louis struck down Missouri's marriage ban and weddings began in St. Louis and St. Louis County (the city of St. Louis is independent and not located in any county). Koster, who supports same-sex marriage, appealed the decision but did not seek a stay to stop the St. Louis marriages. Then, on Nov. 7, a federal judge in Kansas City struck down the state's ban and marriages began in Jackson County. It is possible same-sex marriages could begin elsewhere in Missouri if officials decide either court ruling has statewide effect.
Bans on same-sex marriage in Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas have been struck down by federal and/or state judges, but the rulings were stayed while on appeal. In Louisiana and Puerto Rico (one of the United States' five inhabited territories), federal judges have upheld bans. The rulings are being appealed.
As for the other four inhabited U.S. territories: Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are in the 9th Circuit and would likely see same-sex marriage legalized if they were sued. The U.S. Virgin Islands is in the 3rd Circuit and probably would see same-sex marriage legalized if it were sued. All states in the 1st Circuit (which includes Puerto Rico) and 3rd Circuit achieved marriage equality via pathways that did not involve federal appeals-court rulings. American Samoa is a case unto itself. It does not have federal courts. If it is sued, the matter might start in local court or in federal court in D.C. It may not be possible to sue American Samoa for marriage in federal court. The reason is complex, but if you're interested, you can start here.
INDIAN TRIBES: Same-sex marriage also has been explicitly legalized within the Coquille Indian Tribe in Oregon (2009), The Suquamish Tribe in Washington state (2011), the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in Michigan (2013), The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington state (2013), the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians in Michigan (2013), the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel in California (2013), the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma (2013), the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota (2013), and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians in Washington (2014).
HISTORICAL NOTES: In Utah, 1,259 same-sex couples married between Dec. 20, 2013, and Jan. 6, 2014, when the U.S. Supreme Court stayed a Salt Lake City federal judge's strikedown of the state's gay-marriage ban. The stay was lifted Oct. 6, 2014, when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review pro-same-sex-marriage rulings from appeals courts in three federal circuits. In Michigan, 315 same-sex couples married in four counties on Saturday, March 22, 2014, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit issued a stay. In Arkansas, 541 same-sex couples received marriage licenses before the Arkansas Supreme Court issued a stay a week after the May 9, 2014, strikedown. In Wisconsin, more than 500 same-sex couples married June 6-13, 2014, before a federal judge finalized her paperwork and issued a stay -- which was lifted by the U.S. Supreme Court action on Oct. 6, 2014. In Indiana, some 800 same-sex couples married June 25-27, 2014, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit issued a stay -- which was lifted by the U.S. Supreme Court action on Oct. 6, 2014. In Colorado, more than 300 same-sex couples married in Boulder, Denver and Pueblo counties in June and July 2014 after various legal developments, including the state's marriage ban being struck down in both state and federal court. The three counties eventually were forced to stop issuing gay licenses by the state Supreme Court or Attorney General John Suthers, with Boulder being the final county shut down on July 29, 2014. Colorado resumed issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Oct. 6, 2014, following the U.S. Supreme Court rejection of the 10th Circuit appeals from Utah and Oklahoma.
In U.S. states that do not allow or recognize same-sex marriage, married same-sex couples who live there are still recognized as married for many federal purposes, including income tax, immigration, military benefits and likely scores of other matters that always have been tied to whether a couple entered into a legal marriage anywhere in the world rather than to a state's marriage rules.

Linda Waite, Health & Well-Being of Adults over 60
Wu, B., Jersey Liang, B. Plassman, C. Remle, and X. Luo. 2012. "Edentulism trends among middle-aged and older adults in the United States: comparison of five racial/ethnic groups." Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 40(2): 145-153.
Objectives: This study examined edentulism trends among adults aged 50 and above in five ethnic groups in the United States: Asians, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and non-Hispanic Caucasians. Methods: Data came from the National Health Interview Surveys between 1999 and 2008. Respondents included 616 Native Americans, 2,666 Asians, 15,295 African Americans, 13,068 Hispanics, and 86,755 Caucasians. Results: In 2008, Native Americans had the highest predicated rate of edentulism (23.98%), followed by African Americans (19.39%), Caucasians (16.90%), Asians (14.22%), and Hispanics (14.18%). Overall, there was a significant downward trend in edentulism rates between 1999 and 2008 (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.96, 0.98). However, compared with Caucasians, Native Americans showed a significantly less decline of edentulism during this period (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.19). Conclusions: While there was a downward trend in edentulism between 1999 and 2008, significant variations existed across racial/ethnic groups. Innovative public health programs and services are essential to prevent oral health diseases and conditions for minority populations who lack access to adequate dental care. Additionally, given the increasing numbers of adults retaining their natural teeth, interventions designed to assist individuals in maintaining healthy teeth becomes more critical.

The TinCaps' dimming playoff hopes took another hit Sunday afternoon when they failed to score until the ninth inning and lost 4-1 to Lake County at Parkview Field.
The TinCaps are 2-7 in their past nine games, a slump that has made their postseason chances increasingly unlikely.
Lake County (55-69, 28-26 second half) clinched the season series against the TinCaps with the win, giving them the tiebreaker over Fort Wayne should it be necessary. The Captains lead the six-team pack that is in pursuit of the two remaining playoff berths in the Midwest League's Eastern Division.
The TinCaps (54-70, 24-31) are three games back of Dayton (27-28) for the wild card. However, the Dragons own the tiebreaker there, so the TinCaps need a better overall second-half record to pass the Dragons in the pecking order.
Offense was the problem Sunday, as the TinCaps just couldn't get much done against four Lake County pitchers. Starter Mitch Brown allowed two hits and struck out five in six dominant innings. Trevor Frank got two outs for the save.
The TinCaps loaded the bases with nobody out in the eighth on a walk by Josh VanMeter, an infield single by Trea Turner and a base hit by Ronnie Richardson. If the TinCaps were to rally from a four-run hole, this was seemingly their best chance, with the 3-4-5 hitters in their order coming to the plate.
As the crowd suddenly roared in anticipation, a golden opportunity slowly went by the wayside. Fernando Perez was called out by plate umpire Patrick Sharshel on a check swing. He and manager Michael Collins both argued with Sharshel to no avail. Franmil Reyes then whiffed and Jake Bauers popped out to second to end the frame.
The TinCaps managed to put something together in the ninth, with VanMeter's RBI double setting up a second-and-third, one-out situation for Turner and Richardson. Turner struck out -- he went 1 for 5 -- and Richardson chopped a 3-1 pitch to short for the final out.
The Captains' tallies came in the first, fourth, fifth and seventh.
TinCaps starter Ronald Herrera went five innings and gave up three runs on seven hits. Justin Livengood worked three innings, permitting Clint Frazier's 12th home run.
Up next: The TinCaps begin a three-game series at home Monday against Great Lakes.

DUBAI, UAE, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Attended by 1,500 learning and development professionals
The Training and Development Show Middle East, the largest training and workplace learning exhibition and conference in the region, opened today with a sense of excitement as hundreds of learning, HR and training professionals gathered to talk strategy, network and source the latest training solutions.
The show is held under the patronage of the United Arab Emirates Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, under the theme of "Nurturing tomorrow's leaders" and was officially opened by H.E. Humaid Moh'd Al Qutami, Minister of Education and Chairman of the Board of the Federal Government Human Resources Authority.
In a survey conducted by Terrapinn Middle East, 78% of local businesses commented that developing effective leaders is their number one challenge. This is perhaps unsurprising given the diverse and fluid movement of expatriates and the huge investment in Emiratization.
"The success of your business is routed in the talent business - your success is dependent upon the quality of talent you attract, select, develop and retain. Your differentiator is your intellectual capital - your talent, your leaders," remarks Laura Parker, General Manager of Terrapinn Middle East. "Leveraging new technology in times of dramatic change can accelerate skill development, only those organisations that proactively fill performance gaps and prepare a highly adaptable workforce will be built to last. For the foreseeable future, the ability to continuously train, transform and develop people and their skills will be critical for any agile, high-performing organisation."
According to Parker, the unrelenting change in the technology behind many training platforms as well as the advent of informal learning channels has shaped the upcoming Training & Development Show. For two days, hundreds of chief learning officers, human resource professionals and training managers will focus their attention on the theme "Nurturing tomorrow's leaders with effective training, succession planning and professional development initiatives". The show features 70 free seminars, over 40 exhibitors and a high-level conference designed to explore innovative techniques and technologies for making employees your most competitive business advantage.
The survey, which was conducted amongst 650 Middle East businesses, revealed that digital learning platforms were the top training technology being implemented by Middle East-based companies in the coming 18 months with wireless and mobile being in the top three.
Technology allows people to learn anytime and anywhere. This can involve delivering content not only via the Internet, but also via an Intranet, interactive TV, DVDs and so on. The Training and Development Show showcases many examples of e-learning including virtual classrooms, online training courses, Intranet-based learning, online tutorials, digital collaboration and many more.
"With a squeeze on budgets companies see several benefits of e-learning over other forms of learning and development, the most obvious of which is the cost; it is often a much cheaper solution than other options - group licences can often be purchased, meaning that you can train your entire team. Convenience: perhaps the most significant benefit of e-learning is the associated convenience - you can choose when and where to learn, provided you have the appropriate equipment, meaning you can learn at your own pace. Consistency: being able to deliver standardised training to your whole team or workforce is another benefit, particularly when trying to introduce a new skill or procedure to your employees," says Nicola Wartnaby, Marketing Director, Terrapinn Middle East.
The Training & Development Show, sponsored by Wilson Learning and Manipal Global Education Services is the only show in Dubai offering such a wide variety of free seminars. "Attendees get the real deal on training and development: how to design it, develop it, and deliver it for results that actually benefit the company, its employees and its stakeholders," said Jamie Hosie, Project Manager, The Training and Development Show.
The event runs Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 December, with more than 1,500 learning and development professionals expected to attend.
Topics being discussed include:
- How to drive business competitiveness and profit through your people, Starwood Hotels & Resorts
- How to create an engaged workforce to drive customer loyalty, Wilson Learning
- How to implement learning initiatives in a multicultural workplace, Dubai Customs
- How to use blended learning, Federal Authority for Government Human Resources

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

A simple and imaginative way to reinvent the Christmas classic. You shouldn't be afraid to use cocoa when cooking savoury dishes, as after all it's just another spice. The sweetness of the cocoa helps extract all the flavour of the other herbs and spices and goes perfectly with the honey glazed breast of turkey. Surprise your loved ones this Christmas with a novel twist on the traditional turkey dinner.
