November 6, 2012 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Senator-elect Tammy Baldwin is no stranger to shattering glass ceiling, and her win tonight again earns her a spot in the history books.

Baldwin is the strongest voice for equality on Capitol Hill, and has championed every piece of LGBT legislation during her tenure in office.
To help elect Tammy Baldwin, HRC:
- Promoted the Baldwin campaign regularly across HRC's online properties, including the Election Center website and blog, as well as social media.
- Called out attempts by the Tommy Thompson campaign to attack Baldwin for her sexual orientation.
- Sent half a dozen HRC staffers to support the Baldwin campaign and other pro-LGBT equality candidates in Wisconsin.
- Conducted phone outreach throughout Wisconsin.

Great Experience, Love the Results - Short Hills, NJ
I am in my mid thirties and really wanted to do something about my crows feet around my eyes and lines on my forehead. I went to Dr. Ovchinsky's office for a consultation. He suggested Botox. I was a little nervous but he made me feel at ease. He was very professional and attentive. He addressed all of my concerns and answered all of my questions. The whole experience was very pleasant. His staff was very professional, friendly and responsive. I just love the results. I also had Juvederm injections around my mouth. I most definitely plan to keep up the great results. Great experiense and most definitely worth it.

Best Doctor Ever! - Short Hills, NJ
He is an excellent doctor! Dr. Ovchinsky did my lip implants twice (second time I moved up a size), and I could not have asked for a better doctor. Through the whole process he was attentive and genuinely cared for my wellbeing. He answered all of my questions and concerns and made me feel comfortable and confident about having the surgery. I recommend Dr. Ovchinsky to everyone! Because of him I'm more confident about the way I look and you would never be able to tell that I even had anything done, they look perfect and natural.

My Experience - Brooklyn, NY
Doctor Alexander Ovchinsky is a highly skilled and experienced physician but as important he truly cares about his patients, he is the best health care professional in his field.

George O. Petrie (November 16, 1912 – November 16, 1997) was an American radio and television actor.
Life and career[edit]
Petrie was born on November 16, 1912 in New Haven, Connecticut.
On The Honeymooners, he had recurring character roles throughout the series. He appeared on the popular prime time soap opera Dallas and the 1996 Sequel Dallas: J.R. Returns, in the recurring role of attorney Harv Smithfield.
Petrie started in radio drama, including playing the title role in The Adventures of the Falcon.[1] He played Bill Grant in Call the Police[2] and appeared on programs such as the syndicated horror program "Murder at Midnight" in 1947.
Petrie's film credits include At Sword's Point (1952), Baby Boom (1987), and Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987).
Other television credits include: Rawhide, 77 Sunset Strip, The Twilight Zone, Leave It to Beaver,[3][4] The Andy Griffith Show, Perry Mason, Dr. Kildare, Bonanza, The Addams Family, The Munsters, The Wild Wild West, Hawaii Five-O, Little House on the Prairie, Ironside, Combat!, Maude, Gunsmoke, Three's Company, Cagney and Lacey, Dynasty, Quincy, M.E., Knight Rider, St. Elsewhere, Wiseguy, Night Court, Mad About You and L.A. Law.
Petrie died of lymphoma on his 85th birthday in Los Angeles. He and his wife, the former Patricia Pope, had two children.
Petrie's passing was noted in the end credits of Mad About You's seventh episode of its sixth season, with "For Our Friend George O. Petrie 1912-1997". Petrie had a recurring role on the show, appearing in 10 episodes between 1994 and 1996 as Sid, Paul Buchman's editing assistant. He also had a very short-lived, on-screen love interest with Lolly Stemple (played by actress Meg Wyllie), Jamie (Stemple) Buchman's aunt.

Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Jump Back Into Programming? 247
from the both-feet dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I think at this point, that anyone setting out in programming should start with mobile computing.
Nothing else gives you such strong immediate feedback, a sense that you are really doing something - even moreso than web programming (which is pretty immediate as well, but generally less interactive).
Start with whatever platform you already have, if you have a smartphone. If you don't have a smartphone, get either a Nexus7 tablet if you don't have a mac, or an iPod touch if you do, and go to town.
There are tons of free resources for learning programming on mobile platforms since it's such a hot field, lots of it aimed at really novice users so there's no content that would not lead you in as gently as you like.
Good luck, and I hope you can enjoy programming once more.
Be sociable. Speak to the person next to you in the unemployment line tomorrow.

Clark Gregg has been a pleasure to watch. Why oh why, does Whedon kill all the likable characters? I'm not complaining, for it seems to add to the emotional connection to his films. Anyway, this is Marvel, where dead is not dead.
Greetings. After 16 years away from the comic book world, I'm taking what seem to be baby steps entering a world that has gotten much bigger. When I left, the Hulk was green, Cyclops was not this crazy( a matter of perspective ) and nobody ever wore Aquaman briefs. Times have changed.
What brought me back was a chance encounter with a seller of some old Justice League titles and his retelling of some old story lines (mainly the Tower of Babel arc). Enter " the New 52" and I have the perfect place to start over. Currently I am reading most of the Batman titles along with Aquaman, Flash, JL, a little misc. and A vs. X.
Comic Vine has provided a great resource to those with questions such as myself. Thanks to all who are providing the information.

AMERICANPRIM PRIMITIVE HOW-TO'S: HOLIDAY IDEAS-CRAFTS & DECORATING You will need the following materials to make one Candy Cane: Plastic PVC Yard Candy Cane (found cheapest at Walmart or Dollar Stores) 1/4 yard Tea Stained Muslin Red or Green Homespun Hot Glue ********* If your plastic candy canes red/green stripes are taped on (and not painted on) peel the tape off the white plastic candy cane. This will keep the red from showing through your muslin. If the stripes are painted or printed on, obviously disregard this step. Tear your tea stained muslin into 1.5" wide strips. You should tear enough to make a 70" long strip. ( I used two 35" strips) Starting at the top of the candy cane, add a drop or two of glue on the tip of the candy cane and wrap the muslin around the tip and work your way down to the bottom, being sure to overlap your layers so that the white plastic doesnt show through. Tear your homespun into 1" wide strips. You should tear enough to make a 35" to 40" long strip) Again, starting at the top, add a drop or two of hot glue and begin wrapping the homespun around, this time wrapping it further apart to create the stripe. Secure your homespun to the bottom of the candy cane with hot glue. You can group several of these together and decorate however you like! Here are some additional embellishment ideas: Rusty Wire Rusty Bells Glass Glitter Wired Ribbon Greenery Prim Tags ********* JINGLE BELLS A great idea using a find from The Dollar Tree! My friend Kathy of GK PRIMS found some big bells at the Dollar Tree but they were a bright brass color. So she went to Walmart and found some spray paint (Red Oxide Primer) and simply spray painted the bells! Aren't they wonderful? She has them displayed in an old wooden bowl with some evergreen sprigs but also offers up a few other ideas for decorating with them such as wiring them onto a wreath, adding some homespun hangers and hanging them on your tree or tied onto garland. I'm sure you can think of plenty of ideas for using these great jingle bells!

ESCONDIDO: Fewer people protesting police checkpoints
The number of people protesting Escondido driver's license and sobriety checkpoints has dropped significantly since last year, when a dozen or more people routinely would show up with picket signs ahead of the police roadblocks.
Some of the checkpoint protesters said last week that one of their biggest complaints was addressed when a new state law took effect at the beginning of the year. The law gives drivers whose only violation is being unlicensed an opportunity to call a licensed driver to take the vehicles away.
Escondido police have been following the new law, and the number of cars being impounded has dropped significantly.
Some of the most prominent anti-checkpoint activists, such as former City Council candidate Carmen Miranda, said they will no longer protest but will continue to oppose them.
"We don't really need to be out there protesting, but somebody needs to be keeping an eye on them," Miranda said.
Activists started showing up to protest checkpoints about 18 months ago. Some said they opposed the checkpoints because they believed the operations disproportionately affected the Latino community, including those who were in the country illegally and ineligible for driver's licenses.
Police officials have said the checkpoints' only aim was to improve traffic safety .
Lt. Tom Albergo, who heads the Escondido Police Department's traffic division, said the department is following the law and allows motorists to have a licensed driver take the vehicles.
"I'm hoping that people now understand that these guys (police officers) are just doing their job," Albergo said.
During the two checkpoints that have been held this year, police released 22 vehicles to licensed drivers. Before the law took effect, those vehicles would have been seized and impounded for 30 days. Eighteen vehicles were impounded for various violations during the same two checkpoints, according to police.
Before the activists began protesting the operations, police routinely seized dozens of vehicles per checkpoint.
Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher said last week that he didn't like the new law because unlicensed drivers are dangerous.
"It's terrible for the community, because it's just a matter of time before one of those autos is involved in a fatal crash," he said.
Maher said some of the activists had turned to helping the unlicensed drivers by offering to drive their vehicles away.
Jenifer Leiendecker, one of the former protesters, said she also would no longer show up to protest checkpoints, even though she continues to oppose them. She said drivers who were illegal immigrants were being turned over to immigration authorities.
"The new law is working as far as impounds during the checkpoints," Leiendecker said. "But some of us are afraid that the people who are cited are being followed up with a visit from ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement)."
The Escondido Police Department has a partnership with the immigration agency, allowing several ICE officers to work out of its headquarters. However, Maher said the ICE officers working with the department only arrest people who have been convicted of a crime.

3 mature Espalier Pears trees instead of a couch
Hi there,
I'm new to the forum. I was on my way to purchase a much needed new sofa, when I got sidetracked at my local nursery. I've always wanted to attempt to train espaliers, but there in front of me were 3 gorgeous mature (4 tiers each) espalier pear trees...on sale. I went weak in the knees. So, "goodbye new couch, hello fruit trees". Here are my questions:
1. The trees have arrived and will be planted within the next day or so. Each is about 5 1/2 feet tall, and 3-4 feet wide. The trunks are about 3 1/2 inches wide at the base, 2" further up. I was planning to plant them about 8 feet apart. Does that sound right?
2. The nursery said, though not essential, they recommend a wire/wood post support for the first year until the roots get established in their new home, then no support is needed after that. Does that sound right?
3. Here are my two location options: a). my first choice is a west--and very slightly south-facing-- location with good midday-to-afternoon sun, no large trees nearby. b) a south-facing location (full sun), but a neighbor's huge ancient maple trees behind the site (closest about 20 feet away, furthest 40 feet away). Neither of these locations is against a wall, but my yard is pretty protected against high wind.
4). The nursery said to add Organica Plant Booster Plus 8-2-4 in the hole when these get planted. Make sense?
5). I plan on getting my hands on the AHS's Pruning & Training book, but is there anything I need to do immediately? I'm hoping to have all winter to study up.
Many thanks,
Ah, heck, how can you pass up a deal like that. Besides, you can get a couch from a tag sale, at the Salvation Army store, whatever, for a little bit of nothing, and reupholster it yourself in a couple of afternoons, it's not really all that hard to do.
I would DEFINITELY support those trunks with good, sturdy stakes for a few years, it would be a shame to have them snap off in a storm.
I would go with site "A" if the maples at site "B" are silver or Norway, since their feeder roots extend well beyond the dripline of the canopy and really can suck the life out of any surrounding plantings (trust me, I have both in my yard). If the maples are sugar or red maples, I think either site would be ok.
I too am new to pears, and learned the hard way this morning on precious flowered young branches that they cannot handle training like apple or citrus or whatever can - they BREAK very easily! So learn from my mistake and don't weight as heavily, bend as steeply, as you might otherwise expect. In view of this disappointing observation it seems to me buying trees with some training by a more experienced hand was particularly good fortune for you.
Yesterday, when the nursery guy was planting one of my mature espalier pear trees, he nearly snapped off a lower branch...very sad. Is the branch doomed? It is not completely detached. Is there anything I can do to save it? The nursery will replace the tree as a last resort, but it is such a beautiful specimen, I'd love to keep it. Thanks!
The snapped branch on one of your mature espalier pear trees is only the beginning of your troubles. I cannot imagine why a nursery would tell you that espalier trained trees need only temporary support. All espalier trees need permanent support or they will no longer be espalier. And that support needs to be strong. You will also find that purchasing large, mature trees was not such a good idea. You had better get right at constructing a support trellis, although it would have been far better to have the trellis in place before planting. When you tie up your branches, bear in mind the fragility of pear branches, illustrated by your planting experience as well as the above comments by Tomatozilla.
If you do not provide support to the lateral branches, they will all be gone in a short time, certainly as soon as they begin to set pears. And you will have to prune with some frequency to maintain the espalier growth pattern.
In my view, it would have been far better to purchase one or two year freestanding pear trees on dwarfing or semi-dwarfing rootstocks, training them to open centers with branches at roughly 60-76 degree angles.
Indeed, it might have been better in the long run to opt for the couch. At least with a couch you could be pretty sure of producing some couch potatoes.
Would 2 x2 or 4 x 4 wood posts with 12-15 gauge wire work?
My 3 espalier Anjou pear trees are doing well. I did wind up supporting them with wooden poles and black very strong aircraft line (strong enough to pull a plane). The black color of the wire makes it pretty much disappear. Every year I reattach the branches on the guidelines and they have all held their shape beatifully. I realize finally I need a pollinator (duh). Blossoms/fruit get less and less each year. Any suggestions as to variety and how far away it needs to be planted? Is it too late to plant now (May) in Connecticut Zone 6a or should I wait until fall? Many thanks for the advise.
I've found this from Colorado State U. Look like you have a number of choices. Be careful to choose a more disease resistance one.
I only have Harrow Sweet and Blake Pride.
Did you get a couch?
Here is a link that might be useful: Pollination of Fruit trees
hi Maureen - I'm not suprised that I'd come across someone who is taking up pear tree espalier like I am right about now. I rented a van after delivering a couch to my daughter's new place: (true story) and picked up 1 Pyrus Commmunis "Anjou". and 1- "Red Clapp" They are young and branches look ready to train. The tree person at Connon Nurseries (Ontario) zone 5b) recommended for best pear pollination a Pyrus Communis" Red Clapp" So I'll pass that on to you. But I want to know from you or some kind soul-- what is the preferred distance for planting between the three trees. (I'm getting another very soon) --I do like the black wire idea you have. What are you using for ties.-- the newest branch friendly tie discovery I'm hearing is velcro strip Thanks and best of luck with your espalier

Duke Energy Carolinas slips in customer survey
Duke Energy Carolinas, which serves the Charlotte region, slipped in this year's J.D. Power and Associates customer-satisfaction survey of electric utility residential customers.
Duke Carolinas scored 641 on a 1,000-point scale, according to results out this week. That ranked it ninth-highest among 13 large utilities in the South.
In 2013 Duke had 656 points, ranking sixth-highest. In 2012 its 637 points ranked ninth.
A coal ash spill into the Dan River and the subsequent federal grand jury investigation couldn't have helped Duke in the rankings, which are based in part on corporate citizenship.
But that wasn't the driving factor in the ratings drop, said J.D. Power official Jeff Conklin. More important, he said, were responses to survey questions about power quality and reliability, and about price. Duke Carolinas has raised rates three times since 2009.
Duke Energy Progress, the utility that serves Raleigh and the eastern Carolinas, did even worse in the survey. Its 637 points this year put it in 11th place in the region. That's a drop from 2012, before the merger of Duke Energy and Progress Energy, when the utility then known as Progress Energy Carolinas ranked sixth.
The survey measures customer satisfaction in six areas: power quality and reliability; price; billing and payment; corporate citizenship; communications; and customer service.
Results nationwide showed improved ratings, J.D. Power said, due to improvements in corporate behavior and communicating with customers about outages. But electric utilities still lag in customer satisfaction compared with other home services such as cable TV and Internet providers.

Rankings have been updated for October 2014!
The main problem with measuring the best international football team in the world is that each country is different in terms of population. Therefore, larger countries always have an advantage because they have a larger pool of potential players to pull from. The following list will somewhat factor out this problem by rating each team by their FIFA points per head of population. This table is not claimed to be a clear cut method, but at least it gives an indication as to the teams that are punching above their weight (or not).
There now follows a listing of the current FIFA world rankings for January 2015

Very nice site!

I really enjoy the article post. Cool.

The sports popularity in each country should also be taken into consideration. Example: USA "soccer" is quite far down the list after American Football, Baseball, Basketball, NASCAR, Hockey If Futball was

All of these are nt complete without NIGERIA topping the list by DON RALPH
By CHIKA RAPHAEL on 01/10/2011
what about India on the list of top 20?
By john on 01/04/2011
If we were to factor in the fact that our neighbors continually poach our players, this would place NI back at number one position (where by divine right and skill, we belong).
By Quintoniewicz on 02/02/2011
Ranking per capita is stupid when many countries draw players from their diaspora as well as naturalised citizens.

Any chance of an update?? I'm sure NI have slipped! :(
By Neil on 24/09/2009

We are THE BEST!!! cmon GAWA we can still make it to Euro 2008!!!!!!!! Good to see us at the top of a table again!

By Graham on 31/10/2007
I would agree that the 60th place cut off is a problem. The only conceived reason for this is that I got bored typing the places in. On 24 October 2007, when the rankings are next updated I make an effort to use all 200.
By admin on 31/10/2007
If anyone can find a list of the number of professional or amateur footballers in each of these countries I will be more than happy to use it. Otherwise the only easily available means of factoring out "the pool of potential players" is to use population. Of course this is not linear and there are flaws. This list is a point of interest rather than a statement of team X must be twice as good as team Y. Everyone is encouraged to debate this.
By admin on 31/10/2007
This is silly and cooked. Silly because, unlike, say, the GDP, the ranking points are not in any way imaginable linearly dependent on population. And it is cooked because the cut-off is first 60 teams, making sure that no nation with smaller population than N. Ireland can be counted -- otherwise the Points Per Head of countries like Luxemburg, Seychelles or San Marino would make N. Ireland look like a band of cripples
By Bohemia on 31/10/2007
I'd like to see the same stat when measured against total club players instead of population. In the US soccer isn't that popular and will never appeal to even 10% of the population. Same applies to Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc. Well done to Northern Ireland though.
By Wessels on 31/10/2007
Northern Ireland Twice World cup Quarter finalists with a population of 1.7 million who can match that ?
By Dado on 31/10/2007
what about el salvador?
By kevina on 31/10/2007
Classic !!
By Adrian Henning on 31/10/2007
John from Brooklyn - this is only done for the first 60 clubs in offical rankings. Wales isn't in the top 60 so not on this list.
By Mark on 31/10/2007
sum of these teams are not actual players in the FIFA. LIARS
By steve mommy on 31/10/2007
This is so silly it's just :-) :-) :-)
By glouille on 31/10/2007
Interesting list. I feel sorry for some of the people (Jhonathan cristiano ronaldo fan, Billy Bob, Xavier) who don't seem capable of reading the explanation at the top, how do people that stupid manage to get through life?
By Dan Miller on 31/10/2007
Ryt we beat England, Spain Sweeden and we used be 152nd now 28th! Com on Norn Iron Our wee Country!
By Norn Iron on 31/10/2007
Most people that have posted do not appear to understand how these rankings were created. However, their gripes may be legitimate as there are some mathematical flaws. After seeing the high ranking of Northern Ireland and Scotland, I was surprised to see that Wales was not on the list so I did the calculations myself. Population of 3.1 million and 428 points (both according to the FIFA website) results in points per head of .000138 which should have placed them 12th in between Finland and Costa Rica.
By John from Brooklyn on 31/10/2007
This is academically the best means of producing rank. It is real term measuremnt, and shows indeed that the bigger the better. It is science that the bigger beats the smaller over the long term, and this excellent methodology irons out those inherent inequalities. I have to laugh at the irony of the comment of Deano tho, "if only NI were a bigger country." Lost on you? Think about it!!! And well done to the South as well, from the best team in the world...real terms! Biggy Jacks
By Big Jacko on 31/10/2007
come on the green and white army....we always punch above our weight!
By kathy... belfast! on 31/10/2007
HEALY! Dude (cristiano ronaldo fan), i would calm yourself. True, nobodies gonna say that Northern ireland are better than Brazil, because that hasn't been proven yet and fifas rankings prove that because NI are below brazil. But if only we (NI) were a bigger country...... "dreams" :P. "And healy scores his seventh today past Dida, what a fantastic result for the Green and White Army! Brazil 2- Northern Ireland 9
By Deano on 31/10/2007
The following top list was so embarissing to watch that i would literally burn my eyes out than to see it againg, how can Northern Ireland be on top and brasil in the last top 10 teams, and mexico, and colombia. I understand USA's position, im not really angry but seeing uruguay above and beyond, italy, germany, england, brasil, portugal, sweden, and argentina, is so dumb, you guys should really begin to watch soccer. with no love Cristiano ronaldo fan
By Jhonathan cristiano ronaldo on 31/10/2007

Just imagine. NI with a population of c1.5m beat England population c60m 1-0. If we were the same size as England, we would have won 40-0!
By Stick on 31/10/2007

A bizare method of ranking
By Gwanmesia Michael Sabum on 31/10/2007
We've probably got the best striker playing in Europe right now, David Healy. The Green and white army march on to euro 2008!!!!
By Paul on 31/10/2007
Do you think if Northern Ireland have a population of Brazil, will perform like Brazil ? No! That's why this system doesn't make sense.
By Xavier on 31/10/2007
A simply ridiculous system of ranking!
By Xavier on 31/10/2007
And the fans in Rio sing 'We're not Northern Ireland, we're Brazil'.
