Skype has moved to disable a huge security hole in its system that could let attackers take control of Skype accounts with just the user's email address.
Update: The issue has been fixed, according to Skype. See the update at the end of this article.
The vulnerability was first revealed on a Russian blog a couple of months back but has just been brought to wider attention, after the author said the hole had still not been plugged despite Microsoft knowing of the issue.
The security hole means that all an attacker has to do is know the address of a victim. Armed with that information the attacker can set up a second account, and request a password reset. Once the password is changed the original user is locked out of their account. Tech blog The Next Web has tested the vulnerability and confirmed it does work.
CBR has removed a number of vital steps an attacker would need to take in order to take control of an account.
Skype told CBR in a statement that it is aware of the reports and is investigating them. "We have had reports of a new security vulnerability issue. As a precautionary step we have temporarily disabled password reset as we continue to investigate the issue further. We apologise for the inconvenience but user experience and safety is our first priority," the statement said.
Rik Ferguson, director of security research at Trend Micro, told CBR the security vulnerability "simply should not have happened."
"If an account which is already registered with a service, any service, tries to re-register then there should be a mandatory authentication stage before that secondary registration is allowed to continue. In this case would mean logging in with your Skype credentials before being able to request further Skype IDs."
Even changing the primary email address associated with an account, which has been suggested as a temporary fix, will not completely solve the problem, Ferguson added.
"Before the access to reset passwords was disabled, the only way to protect yourself was to register an entirely separate and secret e-mail address for use with your Skype account," he said. "This is not only security by obscurity, it could theoretically leave you more open to attacks as you are less likely to investigate regularly the inbox of such little-used addresses."
VoIP calling service Skype was acquired by Microsoft in May 2011 for $8.5bn.
Update: The company says it has fixed the issue and the password reset function is working properly. Only a small number of users were affected, the statement said.
"Early this morning we were notified of user concerns surrounding the security of the password reset feature on our website. This issue affected some users where multiple Skype accounts were registered to the same email address," the statement said.
"We suspended the password reset feature temporarily this morning as a precaution and have made updates to the password reset process today so that it is now working properly," Skype added. "We are reaching out to a small number of users who may have been impacted to assist as necessary."
The company also apologised for the inconvenience the issue caused.

In 1886, King Ludwig II, the King of Bavaria, was deposed on grounds of mental incapacity without any medical examination. His "diagnosis" remains controversial among historians to this day. Soon after his fall from power, Ludwig died under mysterious circumstances, leaving the eccentric and beautiful "fairytale" castles he had built as his only remaining legacy.
While putting away books from an estate sale purchase, rare book-dealer Steven Lukas finds a box he's never seen before wedged between books on a high shelf. In it he discovers what looks to be a small diary written entirely in code, a lock of hair, and old photographs of the Fairytale King. It isn't long however, before his excitement turns to fear as he realizes that mysterious others want the diary too - and will apparently kill to get it. Suspecting that his find may contain the secret truth behind Ludwig's death, Steven consults with art historian Sara Lengfeld. Soon they find themselves on the run together, investigating each of Ludwig's three castles for clues as to just what in that ancient diary could be so explosive as to be worth killing - and even dying - for.
©2011 Oliver Pötzsch. English Translation © 2013 Anthea Bell. Recorded by arrangement with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. (P)2013 HighBridge Company
"Pötzsch's sophisticated plotting and good use of a real-lifehistorical puzzle place this far ahead of most Da Vinci Code wannabes." (Publishers Weekly starred review)
Painter, musician, bibliophile...
"A little predictable"
I avoided reading the book in print because the translation I saw was a mess. I waited for the spoken version, and when I saw Anthea Bell had translated it, I knew this translation would have been carefully prepared. Plus, Simon Vance, while perhaps not the best choice for a narrator who has to get through a lot of German pronunciation, does a commendable job. So why am I so disappointed in this book?
Without revealing spoilers, I'll just say the plot seemed predictable and too much was given away too early. Unfortunately, it cannot escape comparisons to "The Da Vinci Code." This too, is all too obvious very early on.
Furthermore, while the main characters showed the potential for unique and intriguing personalities early on, they didn't develop into fictional people I cared much about. Despite the fact they were in danger and there should have been great suspense, I couldn't sustain much interest in what happened next.
On the other hand, the book is atmospheric and evocative, a beautiful fictional visit to Bavaria for the armchair tourist, with a good dash of history thrown in.
This is the first Pötzsch book I've read. I would definitely read something else from him. But overall, I'd give "The Ludwig Conspiracy" a miss and choose another of this books if you are interested.
Loves historical fiction mysteries.
"For hardcore German fans only"
I wanted to like this book, I really did. I did enjoy the Hangman's Daughter series, but I can not finish this one.
That there even is a Ludwig conspiracy theory, let alone dozens of them.
The novel must involve time travel because it starts out with king Ludwig alive and with a cellphone, this is not a favorite scene, just a rather bizarre one.
All of them, especially Ludwig himself!!! The guy is dead, and the author explains over and over and over why the German people are so reluctant to let it go.
Ludwig fans will rejoice, all others will be bored to tears. Let it go!
A busy Mum and Accountant. Listen to books while driving to work or sunbathing is my guilty pleasure.
"A pleasant suprise, not what I expected :-)"
It was a good story, had great flow, just enough historical fact to make it interesting, the relationships worked well, and the storyline kept you listening.
No, I it was a pleasant voice, and his interperation was great.
When reality hitted the main character.
"Kind of a watered-down DaVinci Code vibe"
I am hesitant about other books by Potzsch. I was so excited by the book description, but felt let down. The story was just meh.
As for Simon Vance, his narration was great. I would definitely listen to another book narrated by him, so long as the book sounded interesting.
I think it would take a lot of changes to make this one more enjoyable, but the biggest thing would be to strengthen the plot.
I think he did them all well.
It depends on the listener. For me, the story was a let down.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

David WycislakNovember 1998 |
Hello from College-land, kids. Last month things were a little hectic and crazed, and I didn't manage to write a column. Hopefully this will make up for it. I'm going to try to write a double-length column (much to Jeff's dismay, I'm sure), hence the title. However, there probably will be no science... or any fiction... but hell, it IS a double feature, and there's nothing wrong with Rocky Horror Picture Show references, is there?
Well, I guess the truly momentous thing in my life is that I am at college. I've been here for a month and a half, and I'm very slowly adapting at being away from home, on my own. Believe me, it's been hell. I mean, a few people I know from high school go here, but they're virtually impossible to get hold of, and I don't make friends easily anyway. So I've had to force myself to be social and nice to everyone, and I've managed to make a couple friends. Not as many as I'd like, but I've got some people to hang out with, and I'm not always sitting at home on Friday nights. Groovy for me.
Davy-note: there is NOTHING bad about not having anything to do on weekend nights. That's, like, become my mantra so I won't do anything drastic. It also helps that I'm very poor now, so I can't really afford to go do anything. Good reason not to go out.
What else... oh, I know what you're wondering about. My roommate.
We're going to pause here to briefly comment on what I'm watching on MTV. Alanis Morrissette's video for "Thank U". Interesting video. Do I really need to see her nekkid? Probably not, but I do like the video, and the song I've got the mp3 of it, and I play it over and over and over and over... I'm already starting to play it to death, as every Alanis song should be.
All right, back to the roommate. I can't remember for the life of me if I wrote about my fears about college concerning my roommate before, but more or less I was a'fearing that I'd get some homophobic asshole. Fortunately, things have worked out decently. I spent the first couple of weeks letting him get to know me. I can't think of anything more detrimental than walking in, seeing my roommate for the first time, and yelling "Hi, I'm gay! Oh, my name's Davy too." So when I broke the news to him he was like "Oh, ok, I don't care, it's none of my business." So, groovy.
As for any attraction factor... nope, none, no-how. He's straight, and if I were attracted to him (I ain't telling, because I need a little mystery about me after baring my soul in these columns so much for the past year) I wouldn't hit on him. It would create an incredibly awkward situation, and I don't need it. So he's my roommate, I'm his roommate, and never the train shall meet.
First two weeks of college rocked butt, actually. The freedom. Oh GOD, the freedom. It's absolutely euphoric. No one gives a shit about you, and in return you start not giving a shit about anyone else.
However, life isn't totally perfect like that anymore. My chronic depression is rearing its ugly head and intruding on my territory. Damn, it left for a month and I do believe that I've never been happier. So I think it's time for some drugs. Prozac, I mean. We'll see.
Oh, and I got drunk for the first time. Was very cool. I don't plan to make a career out of it, although it would be WAY too easy. Once in a long while is good for me.
All right, enough of the stereotypical "This is how my life has been since last we met" Oasis column. Now we'll tackle a real subject. See, I told you it would be two columns in one!
My dear friend Bill wrote a wonderful column for Oasis way back about dating closet cases (http://www.oasismag.com/Issues/9708/column-roundy.html). He said it sucked. Now, I just want to add something to this. Don't even fucking CONSIDER closet cases. It'll fuck you up, I swear to god.
Why? Let me tell you what's going to happen. You're going to meet someone who, after much hard work on your part, because you like him, will admit to you that he's gay. Much rejoicing on your part, you'll feel like it's full steam ahead from there. However, admitting something and being something are two different things.
Ever dated a closet case? Not fun. You go to a restaurant, you're talking, you're having fun, and you're just feeling so good that you reach for the closet case to do something minor, like squeeze his hand and grin at him.
Do you know what it feels like to have someone recoil from you when you try to do that?
I'm not kidding, closet cases actually do that. They say "No, not here!!!" and glare at you for violating the sanctity of their precious closet. You feel bad because you made said closet case angry, and you feel like TOTAL SHIT because of the whole recoil thing going on. It's just this total rejection from someone who likes you. They don't mean to make you feel bad, but there's really no helping it.
Everything you do in public with said closet case is carefully crafted and ambiguous. If you're going to say something loving, it better be whispered. If you're going to smile at him, it better be when no one's looking. If you want to peck him on the cheek, it better be behind closed, locked doors with the lights off.
And then, at the end of the relationship, the closet case tells you to fuck off and die because you pushed him too far and made him feel like shit. I made him feel like shit because I made him recoil from me, that's right. I made him feel like shit because I challenged him to face the truth about himself. And then he cuts off all contact from you, or limits contact to a 5 minute conversation every two weeks.
To the closet cases in my life, I give a big fuck you. I'm tired of putting my energy and love into people who don't use it for anything. I'm tired of thinking I can change things, that I can help people, because it's been proven time and time again that I can change nothing in the course of anyone else's life unless they want it to happen and closet cases aren't like that. They'll stay in their closet until the day they die.
Of course, the worst part is that I still love these guys who have screwed me over. Maybe that's what drives my obvious anger, the awareness that my torch for these guys still burns, and will for a long time. I know that until I put these torches out, I'm always going to feel bad about myself, and blame myself for their shortcomings.
Note: this doesn't apply to all you kids. You're in the closet because you're just figuring out your sexuality, you're raging hormones, everything's confusing, you live with your parents. That's totally understandable. The people I'm talking about are in their twenties, are pretty much independent, and are in the closet because they're too chickenshit to make a stand for anything that they believe in that's not also the credo of everyone else. Male adults without any character.
End rant. See you next month.

Robin's Healthy Take: Boardwalk Food
by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, August 8, 2011I'm still traveling with my family and this week it's boardwalk time! I adore the boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey; it conjures up incredible childhood memories and now I'm creating new magical moments with my own kids. I don't exactly recall the boardwalk grub I ate when I was little, but I'm sure the offerings haven't changed much: waffles stuffed with ice cream, cheese fries, heavily-topped pizzas, loaded nachos, fresh fudge, cotton candy, hot dogs/chili dogs and frozen custard. What HAS changed is the portion sizes. They're enormous. You know it's bad when there's a prize for consuming a 26-inch pizza. Really? Can you imagine a prize for consuming salad? Not likely.
I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but when I travel with my family, I try to feed my kids healthy meals while leaving room for treats. We can't return home refreshed after a vacation of no sleep and no vegetables. Actually, no sleep I can handle. Junk food for little ones (and the grandparents we're visiting) doesn't cut it for me. Here's what I found to nosh on while enjoying the boardwalk: soft pretzels with mustard (I scraped off most of the salt), fresh-squeezed lemonade, popcorn (sans butter), snow cones/shaved ice, roasted nuts (cashews, almonds and pistachios) and caramel popcorn. I even found chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate-covered blueberries. My kids didn't feel deprived for a second and I felt better about what we all ate (especially after a few upside-down loops on the coaster).
Please share your favorite foods – whether it's at the beach, the carnival or local street fair! Summer rocks!

Hey y'all, recently my game wouldn't load, i would get past champ select, but instead of loading screen i would get a black screen which lasted around 10 secs while a message in the middle listing the client version. then that closes down and i get the client popping up offering me to skip waiting stats, one i close that i go back to normal client screen, if i try and join a game it says im already in game bla bla, restart client, try to reconnect to game and it all repeats. i then re install the game, now i'm stuck at something by 800 resolution, when i try to change it the game crashes, the files wont let me open the Game.CFG file which holds the default settings for resolution etc so can't change it there, US works like a dream, just EU is gone haywire, re installed latest video card drivers etc. All started when i had to restore my computer to last point thing after some unknown error this morning. any help would be much appreciated TL: DR everything has gone horribly wrong, help meh sorry for wall of text, cba to format it :P
What game.cfg you tried to modify? The in \game\data\cfg\default ? Don't change the values in the \default files! To configure the resolution, create a game.cfg (of not already existing) in \cfg To set your desired resolution, copy in the game.cfg (in \cfg) this:
[General] Width=xxxx Height=xxxx Colors=32 WaitForVerticalSync=0 PredictMovement=0 Windowed=0 UserSetResolution=1
yeah, i didn't try to, i couldn't even open the files, how do i create a game.cfg file? i'm pretty illiterate when it comes down to this stuff
Go to \game\data\cfg of your LoL directory. If the "game.cfg" does not already exists, creat a text file => right click => new => text document Rename this file to game.cfg Import is the .cfg extension! (e.g. "game.cfg.txt" is wrong!) Then open this file via right click => edit and copy the above files in it (with replacement of the xxx values for your resolution).

Attorneys aim to prove doctor wasn't responsible for Michael Jackson's death.
The prosecution has rested its case in Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial.
During cross examination of the prosecution's final witness, Dr. Steven Shafer, the defense attempted to poke holes in Shafer's testimony that Dr. Murray gave Michael Jackson more than 40 times the Propofol than the 25 milligrams the doctor claimed.
Shafer also testified that he believes Dr. Murray administered the anesthetic through an IV drip.
The defense says Jackson took eight Lorazepam pills a few hours before he died without telling Dr. Murray, and claims that Jackson injected himself with Propofol when Murray left the room in a desperate attempt to sleep.
Sources close to the case tell NBC News Murray's lawyers have developed a new time line and they'll lay it out for the jury this week.
"All they have to do is kick up enough sand and hopefully something sticks with some juror that creates reasonable doubt," says former prosecutor Robin Sax.
Sitting in the courtroom was a former teacher and colleague of Shafer's, Dr. Paul White, who will testify for the defense.
The defense is expected to call about 15 witnesses, hoping to chip away at the prosecutions case.

Truth be told I�m tired. Screw ranting. Screw it right in the ear. Good night.
I want to be dreaming,
Speaking of Kung Pow I watched it again last night. Three of my friends came by for a random unexpected visit. I was quite shocked. Any how they hadn�t seen Kung Pow so we had to watch it. It was just as good the second time. That was a lie.
I watched Green Mile for the first time yesterday. It was a long movie. It was way interesting and held my attention from first to finish. But honestly this is the first movie I�ve actually wanted the characters to not have powers. When John started coughing up that stuff I couldn�t have possible said fubar any louder unless I actually did say fubar louder. Good movie.
Best news ever. This Comic Sucks isn�t dead anymore. It�s so not dead it like undeadish but not in the zombie way. Anyhow go give them some welcome back to the living hits.
I�m getting criminally behind with responding to the forums. I can�t keep up with the 100 posts a day as well as I could in the 1.2 posts a day days. I�m going to try and get better about it after today since I do have two tests. Most importantly though I have Mario Sunshine.
Billy Bob,

Hi Folks
I'm Alastair and I have a 2006 Ford Focus Zetec 1.6 in Sea Grey that I have owned for 3 years now. Lack of funds mean I am unable to change it so I decided to start looking after it a little better and discovered this forum and lots of little projects I could do that don't break the bank. I will start a thread over in the focus section with some pics of what I have done so far.

But tradition also spawns a spurious side, excusing an idea that didn't deserve one rewrite, let alone three or four, and cowing an audience into leniency. After all, who can pronounce judgment on work that isn't finished? Surely not the ticket buyers, although they paid full price for an almost-correct play, or the critics, who may spot the same shaky foundation beneath each successive version of the work. And no cosmic law dictates that a new revision will be better than the last; sometimes the writer simply digs a deeper hole, or starts to skid wildly off the track.
Granted, repeated toil may metamorphose ducks into swans. Many years ago a dud called Away We Go! became the landmark musical Oklahoma! But sometimes a piece stalls in place, offering little hope for improvement. Currently on display in Miami are two works in progress, one with a possible future and one best left in someone's file cabinet.
Hollywood is the first exhibit, spoofed during its Golden Age, circa 1930, when movie musicals were glitzy and dumb, and gossip rags uncovered new moral lows. Two young hopefuls -- star-struck Ellie from Walnut, Iowa, who has changed her name from Dinkleberry to Ash; and wimpy Elmo Green from New York, who dreams of writing great works for his uncle Norman G. Neinstein, the sleazeball head of NGN Studios -- meet in the middle of a cornfield and bicycle cross-country together to the promised land. It doesn't take long to get ahead; Ellie is hot to occupy the casting couch, and Elmo possesses the convenient ability to write "hit" movies in less than 48 hours. But their dreams are fated to die hard, thanks to the treachery of a Hedda Hopper clone, Adele De Rale, queen of the gossip columns, and a Joan Crawford clone, Lulu Beauveen, the celluloid prima donna intent on crushing all competition.
These cliche lead characters from Tales of Tinseltown, playing at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, are joined in their absurd moviemaking jaunts by Bertha Powell, an Ethel Merman type who gives up Broadway legitimacy for a shot at shallow fame; Tony Toscanini, the singing plumber with bad teeth, slumped shoulders, and zero charisma; and Danny Burke, a quick-footed fool who "captured the Catskills," and now hogs the dance floor at every opportunity. Of course the roles are meant to be Hollywood stereotypes, and the turkeys they produce -- from The Jungle Song, complete with sparkling purple mechanical monkeys, to The Bird Girl of Alcatraz -- are intended as clever parodies. But Tinseltown quickly deteriorates into a play within a play, a B-musical send-up of B movies. It's hard to tell which is worse -- the tacky films or the clumsy spoof.
With a hackneyed plot of good girl turned bad by stardom, and a listless romance between goofy Elmo and promiscuous Ellie, these tales go nowhere, either thematically or dramatically. Still, music can romp to the rescue of weak storytelling, as in Andrew Lloyd Webber extravaganzas. But there's no cavalry in Tinseltown. Composer Paul Katz's melodies, with the exception of the rousing "I Can Sing," and the pleasant ballads "I'll Stand By You," and "Stars In My Eyes," are generic Broadway-based drones, and the lyrics are equally incompetent. Apparently Michael Colby (who also wrote the story and dialogue) spent some fruitless time with a rhyming dictionary. A typical example: "I who washed dishes like a mule, to work my way through beauty school."
The cast and crew try to make the best of this mire. Choreographer and director Tony Stevens has mounted a stylish, often polished production, which zips along competently from one pointless scene to the next. Melinda Gilb's brassy Bertha vibrates scenery with her robust voice, and Peter Ermides as Danny polishes every floorboard with his flashy dancing feet. Broadway veteran Marcia Lewis wrings wee bits of humor from the De Rale character, and Karyn Quackenbush doesn't embarrass herself as Ellie -- an accomplishment, considering she's on-stage throughout two tedious acts. But John Scherer's Elmo and Keith Devaney's Tony sleepwalk through already colorless roles, and Ellen Harvey's Lulu evokes not Crawford but a coke-crazed bride of Dracula. Only the flashy turntable set and amusing slide show from James Tilton emit a comforting glint of creativity.
Tales of Tinseltown was first produced at New Jersey's George Street Playhouse in 1988, then in San Diego by the Gaslight Quarter Theatre Company last year. Now it comes to Coconut Grove. There's an erroneous rumor circulating that the production is Broadway bound, but Grove spokesmen say it's not true; Chicago might be the next stop. Then again, any hope for progress vanishes with no plot, no dramatic action, and no music, so the Windy City may in the end be spared a fourth attempt to turn swine into pearls.

Why not make it so you can use RP and IP at time of purchase on a % scale, like a 975RP champ for 487RP AND 3150 IP?
Senior Member
thank you RIOT!!! I`m getting Kog!
Mayhem Man
Haha. Epic Fail on me. I just bought Cass last week.
Kojou Senpai
Are you fukin kidding me i just bought kog maw
I am excited for Cass, but Vladmir needs a price reduction, being the oldest 6300 champion. Every time I see a price reduction I go in hoping for Vlad, but he remains a 6300. Please, Vlad is awesome, but he's just a little to expensive.
Fracture Eon
Happalus, is there any discussion going on right now on the topic of making all 450 IP champions permanently free? I am just making a guess here, but I'm assuming there's virtually 0 RP being spent on 450 IP champions because you can easily unlock all of them by the time you breach level 10 and lose your new account IP boost. Considering this, why not just make them free so we don't have them show up in the weekly free champion rotation? I'm personally sick of seeing 450 IP champions in the rotation when they could be removed to make room for all more expensive champions most people would like to play.
@Hippalus Since you're here can you answer what will be done about the rune prices? I mean I know the prices have to be moderately high so people don't outright buy every champion and ruin some of Riot's revenue but I'd like to see other people(and I'd like to :P) try unconventional rune pages and different builds without having to save up for say a month for a set of energy runes to test with champions and I've been playing this game for a long time can't imagine what new players must be going through to be competitive. I've heard that Riot was going to do something about the rune prices before, any comment? edit: Also with the growing roster of champions it is hard to keep up(especially for the new player)
Cranky Kidnapper
I just bought Cassiopeia... Sigh...
Damn, Cass gets lowered THE DAY AFTER I spend my 4800 on malz
damn, no ip refounds? i already has all of them :*(

Mickey McMorris wants to put more deputies on the streets
POSTED: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 3:32pm
UPDATED: Monday, November 21, 2011 - 4:23pm
BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) — Mickey McMorris says he wants to put more deputies on the streets if he is elected sheriff. "I want to use my talents to serve the people of Livingston Parish," McMorris says.
McMorris worked in law enforcement for 25 years. He retired three years ago, but he says the job isn't over.
"This is not a retirement job," he says. "I am retired from state police, but I have a lot of energy left in me."
McMorris says he's running for Livingston Parish sheriff because he believes it's time for a change. "We need to get a handle on crime in Livingston Parish, and that's what we're going to do."
According to the US Census, Livingston Parish grew from about 91,000 people in 2000 to more than 128,000 in 2010. It's one of the fastest growing parishes in the state. McMorris says there needs to be more deputies out in the parish to meet the needs of the growing population.
"You have to start with prevention first, and now I have to start prevention and law enforcement at the same time," he says. "More deputies on the road, more narcotics investigators, more crime scene investigation units to roll out to all these crime scenes."
McMorris says to put more deputies out there, he needs money. "I need that money to reallocate resources to make sure we have more deputies on the road," he says. "Deputies fight crime."
He says that money will come from within the department. If he's elected, he plans to run financial and operational audits on the sheriff's office to see where he can cut costs and save money.
NBC33 conducted interviews with both candidates. Click here to see why his opposition, Jason Ard, says he's the right man for the job.
Check back to NBC33TV.com on election day for up to the minute coverage.
"Salaries are elevated at the top," he explains. "I have put that I am going to reduce those salaries and push that money to the road deputies. That's where you need your resources...on the road where the rubber meets the highway."
McMorris says his plan should be put in place now.
"Those are issues that need to be tackled right away. There need to be solutions now, not when I become sheriff," he says. "Someone needs to be working on these problems now because the fiscal impact is growing.
Now, he just hopes he'll get the chance to do what he says he does best. "I've been all my life trained to take this job."

Differences in education level lead to dramatically different views on when to become a parent, according to new research. John Hopkins University sociologist Andrew Cherlin shows that millennial women with college educations are more likely to wait until they are married before they have children than women without a college degree. In an interview with Sarah Kliff of Vox, Cherlin explains:
"We're seeing the emergence two very different paths to adulthood. Among young adults without college educations, most of their childbearing is in their twenties and the majority of it is outside of marriage. That includes people who have gotten a two-year associate's degree. The dividing line is the four-year degree. The vast majority of people with that college degree are having children in marriage. We didn't see this 20 or 30 years ago. We didn't see these sharp differences between the college graduates and non-graduates."
This trend concerns Cherlin, as it could lead to a more unstable family life for the children of unmarried parents with a high school education. He sees a lack of middle-skill jobs as the cause of their financial instability. This leads to their higher rate of breaking up and ultimately reinforces economic inequalities between education groups. Parents who have a college education are less likely to get divorced, since they are the couples who are more likely to have two steady incomes.
When asked if we could turn this worrisome trend around, Cherlin posits:
"It depends on if you think we can turn the middle of the job market around, and if we can find productive employment for high school graduates. If that happens, then I think we have a chance of reversing the instability we're seeing in family lives. I also think that it might be a good idea to promote a message that one should wait to have children until one is in a stable marriage."
That said, providing an alternative vision of a future where the high-school and college-educated alike can navigate the new economy could lead to greater family stability for their kids.

AUSTIN – Robert Allen Kotlar, 54, a Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive, is now in custody after being arrested on Friday in El Campo, Texas. Kotlar has an extensive criminal history, and was recently wanted for parole violation
A tip regarding Kotlar led investigators to a residence where he was arrested without incident. The Texas Rangers and Texas Highway Patrol assisted in the capture. Kotlars arrest was the result of a tip, and a reward up to $7,500 will be paid. For more information, see the captured bulletin at: http://www.dps.texas.gov/Texas10MostWanted/fugitiveDetails.aspx?id=203.
So far in 2013, DPS and other agencies have arrested 22 Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives and Sex Offenders, including eight gang members, and $54,500 in rewards has been paid for tips that resulted in arrests. The cash rewards are funded by the Governors Criminal Justice Division.
Anyone with information can provide anonymous tips in four different ways:
All calls, texts, e-mails and Facebook messages are anonymous.
The following link, http://www.dps.texas.gov/Texas10MostWanted/video/tipsterVideo.htm, explains the steps on how to submit a tip regarding a Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive or Sex Offender and/or how to receive a reward once the fugitive is captured.
DPS investigators work with local law enforcement agencies to select fugitives for the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive and Sex Offender lists. You can find the current lists – with photos – on the DPS website at http://www.dps.texas.gov/texas10mostwanted/.
Do not attempt to apprehend these fugitives; they are considered armed and dangerous.

Scientists have discovered strontium has a unique method of action that provides a dual activity in bones. Bone cells are continuously growing and being re-absorbed at the same time; bone growth drugs or rock-based calcium primarily affect only the resorption side of the equation. Strontium provides the double benefit of inhibiting bone resorption while it stimulates bone growth. No other natural substance or drug is known to provide this dual effect.
Strontium was studied in both animals and humans from the early 1950s to the early 1960s and was shown to have important bone health properties. For example in 1959, the Mayo Clinic discussing a study involving strontium lactate for osteoporosis reported, "the therapeutic value of the drug appears to be established". In the 1980's a pair of studies also returned promising results for strontium on bone health.
Human studies within the past decade have reported extraordinary results for strontium. In one large multi-phase study it was found that post-menopausal women added 8.1% new bone growth over a three year period; whereas, they would normally have lost about 1% of their bone mass each year.
Notably, most of the recent year studies on strontium have used strontium ranelate, a patentable (and thus profitable) drug which binds strontium to the synthetic cation ranelate. Unlike natural forms of strontium, the ranelate form could be dangerous. Strontium ranelate contains phenylalanine and the detailed data sheet for strontium ranelate warns chillingly of deadly risks of venous thromboembolism as well as dermatitis.
Fortunately, clinical studies on several natural forms of strontium salt have also had positive results – without the side effects. In these forms strontium is bound with carbonate, gluconate, lactate, or citrate to increase its bioavailability.
Important Notes:
1. Strontium supplements should be taken along with adequate calcium consumption. One of the natural forms of strontium, strontium gluconate, can be found along with the other synergistic vitamins and minerals needed for optimal bone health in Bone Matrix.

Forty years ago I thought Daniel Ellsberg was a hero. Former Marine, Vietnam vet (as a civilian advisor), Pentagon Defense Analyst who put it all on the line to expose the massive lie that was the Vietnam war. With the wisdom of hindsight, I still think he's a hero. I have a much more conflicted view of what's going on with Wikileaks.
During the Vietnam War the government fed us a line of bullshit from the start. We were told that the war was going swimmingly, the commies were on the run and that before long there would be a Jeffersonian Democracy in South East Asia for the rest of the world to aspire to. Those darned Russians would be kicking themselves once again like they did in Berlin back in '48 and we'd all have ice cream.
The truth of course was far different. We were propping up a corrupt government and fighting a motivated and determined enemy. Our very reason for being there was a lie and just about everyone in the upper echelons of the government knew we were fighting a losing battle. Ellsberg, an employee of the Rand Corp. at the Pentagon was a contributor of a top secret study on the war commissioned by Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara. As the war dragged on and he became more and more disaffected he decided to turn the papers over to the New York Times. The Nixon Administration made the next several years of his life a living hell but the cat was out of the bag. The lie was exposed and the dwindling support for the war all but evaporated except for a few hard liners.
Today we have Wikileaks which is similar but I'm having a hard time thinking that Julian Asange is a hero. For one thing I don't think anyone with half a brain was misled about the war in Iraq. For another, the sheer volume and content of information being released leads me to believe that Asange is nothing more than a guy with lots of technical know how and an axe to grind against the United States. What the hell good does it do anyone to know how our top diplomat in the Vatican felt when Josef Ratzinger was made Pope? How does it help anyone to find out snarky comments our diplomats made about diplomats from other countries? We all know that Afghanistan is a giant cluster fuck but doesn't feeding classified information to the Taliban make it even more of a giant cluster fuck?
I'll reserve judgment on whether these charges of rape against Asange are Kosher. After all, the government spread all manner of vile lies about Daniel Ellsberg trying to discredit him. What I do know is that history has judged Daniel Ellsberg well. He walked the walk and he knew where he was coming from. Julian Asange is a computer whiz with a history of run-ins with the law for hacking. He has spent pretty much his entire life kicking hornet's nests but he's never been a bee keeper. Ellsberg knew the streets of Saigon and the Imperial City of Hue. He understood the corruption of the South Vietnamese government and the futility of our venture. Asange knows the war from behind his computer monitor. He's decided not only to discredit the war effort but the entire government as well. His release of documents almost seems like a compulsion. He's not going to stop until he's emptied the vault. What does he do for an encore? Sell his story to the New York Times?

AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON — James Harden scored 20 points, Omer Asik had 14 and the Houston Rockets beat the winless Detroit Pistons 96-82 on Saturday night in their first game without coach Kevin McHale.
The team announced earlier Saturday that McHale was taking an immediate leave of absence to deal with a family matter.
Assistant coach Kelvin Sampson took over for McHale, and said before the game that he hoped the team would come together to win for McHale.
The Rockets did just that, using a third-quarter run to build a big lead and break a three-game losing streak with their first victory at home. The Pistons fell to 0-7.
Brandon Knight scored 16 points for Detroit and Greg Monroe added 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Detroit scored five quick points to get within four midway through the third quarter. The Rockets responded with an 11-2 spurt highlighted by six points from Harden to make it 69-56 with less than four minutes left in the period.
Harden was fouled on a layup he made after a nifty assist from Jeremy Lin during that run. Harden slapped the padded part of the goal after the shot, and promptly knocked down the free throw for the three-point play.
Houston padded its lead by scoring the first eight points of the fourth quarter. Detroit couldn't do anything offensively in the fourth quarter and missed its first 10 shots.
The Pistons didn't score in the quarter until Knight's jump shot with six minutes remaining made it 80-59.
Houston came in averaging almost 20 turnovers a game but had a season-low 14 against Detroit.
This was the second meeting between these teams this season. Harden scored 37 points and had 12 assists in a 105-96 victory in his debut with the Rockets on Oct. 31 after a trade from Oklahoma City days earlier.
Marcus Morris added 12 points for Houston and Toney Douglas had 11. Lin helped out with seven points, eight assists and four rebounds.
Houston was up 72-57 entering the fourth quarter.
The Rockets were up by five at the end of the first quarter, and used a 14-7 run capped by a 3-pointer from Douglas to open the second quarter and extend the lead to 34-22.
Houston's lead was 15 points late in the second quarter before Detroit scored nine straight points to end the period and cut the Rockets' lead to 47-41 at halftime.
NOTES: Houston rookie Terrence Jones made his NBA debut on Saturday night. He had five points. … Houston's Chandler Parsons has made at least one 3-pointer in each game this season. … There is no timetable for McHale's return.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had a career-high 25 points and 12 rebounds to help the Bobcats snap a 16-game losing streak against the Mavericks.
Kidd-Gilchrist was 8 of 12 from the field and had a pair of key offensive rebounds off missed foul shots late in the game.
Kemba Walker added 26 points and seven assists for Charlotte and Ramon Sessions made some big shots down the stretch and in overtime, finishing with 12 points.
Dallas lost for the second straight night on the road after a 3-0 start.
O.J. Mayo scored 22 points and Vince Carter had 19 points for the Mavericks. Carter, who was 5 for 8 from 3-point range, missed an opportunity to win the game at the end of regulation when his fallaway jumper was short.
INDIANAPOLIS — Paul George scored 20 points and Indiana stopped a three-game slide.
Roy Hibbert added seven points, 12 rebounds and two blocks for the Pacers (3-4). Gerald Green had 15 points and Lance Stephenson scored 12 in his first start of the season.
Washington carried a 72-70 lead into the fourth quarter, and Jordan Crawford promptly made a 3-pointer to extend the lead to five. But the Pacers then grabbed control with a 10-0 run.
Emeka Okafor and Bradley Beal had 17 points apiece for the Wizards (0-5), and A.J. Price finished with 12 points and 14 assists.
CHICAGO — Nate Robinson scored 18 points and the Bulls ended the Timberwolves' three-game winning streak.
Chicago lost starting point guard Kirk Hinrich to a right hip strain in the second quarter, and Robinson helped pick up the slack by playing 31 minutes. Hinrich had 11 points in the period as the Bulls beat Minnesota for the sixth straight time.
Joakim Noah added 17 points and seven rebounds and Luol Deng had 16 points and seven boards for the Bulls (4-2).
Nikola Pekovic led the short-handed Timberwolves (4-2) with 18 points and eight rebounds. Andrei Kirilenko added 11 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.
The Timberwolves had just 11 players available. Ricky Rubio (left knee surgery) and Kevin Love (fractured right hand) have been out all season. J.J. Barea missed his second straight game with a sprained left foot, while Brandon Roy missed his first game of the season with a sore knee.
TORONTO — Thaddeus Young, Jrue Holiday and Nick Young scored 16 points apiece, helping the 76ers pick up another road win.
Spencer Hawes had 12 points and 11 rebounds, Dorell Wright added 15 points and Philadelphia won its third straight, with all three victories on the road. It's the first time the 76ers have done that since February 2003.
The Sixers, who won 106-100 at Boston on Friday night, knocked off another Atlantic Division opponent thanks to a huge second quarter that saw them turn a six-point deficit into a 19-point lead.
Andrea Bargnani led Toronto with 23 points, while DeMar DeRozan had 19. Jose Calderon had 14 points and 11 assists, but the Raptors lost their third straight.
MILWAUKEE — Paul Pierce scored 25 points, Kevin Garnett added 18 and the Celtics rallied for the victory.
Boston (3-3) got even with the Bucks after Milwaukee knocked off the Celtics 99-88 in Boston on Nov. 2.
Monta Ellis led the Bucks with 32 points, while Samuel Dalembert added 14 points and eight rebounds.
Rajon Rondo had 10 points and 10 assists for the Celtics, giving him 30 straight games with 10 or more assists, the third-longest streak in NBA history. Magic Johnson has the longest streak at 46 games from April 1983 to February 1984.

Constipation is a common problem from infancy to adulthood. There are many factors that contribute to a child developing hard, uncomfortable and/or infrequent stools. Stool withholding is very common: if it hurts to have a bowel movement, children would rather hold it in instead of push it out. The more they hold it, the worse the constipation gets. Sometimes severe constipation can lead to stool accidents because soft stool can make its way around old stool in the colon and leak out uncontrollably. Rarely, constipation can be caused by an underlying medical condition. Pediatricians will try to help your child be more comfortable and more regular with the following tips:
- Encourage a healthy "laxative" diet. Foods that produce laxative effects include breast milk for infants, fruits and vegetables, some fruit juices, dried fruit, nuts, spicy foods, dark chocolate, popcorn and whole grain products such as bran. Some people find that high-fat meals may help. These foods work because they contain lots of fiber. Your child needs a certain amount of fiber per day. A rule of thumb is age + 10 grams. So, if your child is 4 years old, he'll need 14 grams of dietary fiber per day.
- Limit constipating foods such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and bananas. Though limiting dairy helps constipation, your child needs several high-calcium foods per day for adequate nutrition.
- Encourage fluids. Your child should drink enough fluid so that her urine is clear or light yellow. Darker urine means she isn't drinking enough fluids.
- Add a fiber supplement such as Benefiber, Metamucil or flax seeds.
- Develop a meal routine. When meals are adequately spaced, and snacks are limited in between meals, the bowels reflexively move better at these meal times.
- Encourage a bowel movement routine. About 20-30 minutes after meals, your child should sit on the toilet for 10-15 minutes. Use a timer if you need to so your child will spend enough time on the toilet. Eventually, the mind and the body get in sync and it's easier for your child to have a bowel movement.
- Encourage your child to go on his own, but do not force him to sit or punish him for refusing to sit as this could foster more opposition to the whole process. Try to pick good times for gentle reminders and mention that "your doctor asked me to help you remember." Teach your child to push while sitting on the toilet. The bowel movement won't just fall out. Having your child bend forward while pushing may help.
- Give your child's school a permission note for bathroom privileges. She should also have permission to carry a water bottle to school to stay hydrated. If needed, talk to the school about allowing your child to use a private restroom.
- Encourage your child to listen to his body. He must learn to stop any activity if he needs to have a bowel movement and go to the restroom.
- Don't punish your child if she has an accident, whether it is stool or urine. It is quite common for children to have constipation (even unrecognized constipation) which causes urinary symptoms such as daytime urine accidents. Instead of punishment, use positive reinforcement like sticker charts, or special privileges for successful days.
- Don't get discouraged if it takes a long time, and don't think that the problem is solved if the child is not complaining. It can take 6 months to a year of taking daily stool softeners and behavioral training to reverse habits that sometimes developed in infancy.
- If you are trying to toilet train, back off until the problem is resolved. Your child may be feeling overwhelmed with pressure from you and holding her stools to avoid the whole process. Be patient, toilet training can resume once the child is more comfortable and becomes confident that having a bowel movement on the toilet won't hurt.
