Keeping the home beautiful is equally important with keeping the face beautiful. There are methods to keep the rooms of the house beautiful. It is called "Inside room decoration". This inside room decoration can make even the small house beautiful. Happiness will stay permanently with the beautiful is our older generation's word.
Simple tips for keeping the house beautiful
Tips for keeping the door clean
The place which is the entering gate of the house should be clean. This place should be with sun light and the daily using objects like slipper, broom stick must be at this place. Keeping separate stand for the slippers and the cleaning materials like broom stick will make the door of the house beautiful. A separate box can be used for keeping the foot wears that are used rarely.
Tips for keeping the hall clean
This room is usually used for receiving the guests coming to the house. So, this room should be ventilated enough. The furniture like sofa, chairs should be arranged as good as the guests talking face to face. This furniture can be kept at a corner of the hall. The remaining space of the hall can be decorated with the rare decorative things. The windows of the hall can be covered with screens and curtains with attractive colors that are matching the wall color of the hall. The photos of the family members can be hung around the wall of the hall.
Tips for keeping the bed room attractive
The wall of the bed room should be colored with the eye cooling colors because this room will be used at the relaxing time. The lambs used in this room should be with dim color to give good atmosphere for sleeping. Red, orange and yellow colors should be avoided when selecting the color of the lambs. The bed should be very close to the wall without leaving gap between the wall and the bed. The head part of the bed should be higher than the tail end of the bed. Head part of the bed should not be placed directly below the beam of the ceiling of the room.
Tips for reducing the Electromagnetic power in the bed room
The electromagnetic power has the capacity of disturbing the sleep.
1.Avoid electrical equipments like TV, Computer, and Refrigerator from the bed room.
2.Avoid using extension cart near or below the bed.
3.Avoid the metal handled lambs in the bed room.

Start Date" field.
DEARBORN - Ford Motor Company, by expanding auto start-stop technology to 70 percent of its vehicles in North America over the next four years, will enable customers to both reduce their impact on the environment as well as achieve better fuel economy with their vehicles.
Auto start-stop, a technology which has been available on European models for years, was first introduced in North America on the 2013 1.6L Ford Fusion.
"The technology was easier and less costly produce in Europe because manual transmissions lead sales in that fleet," said Kirk Pebley, who has been working on the project for automatic transmissions for the past five years. "Fortunately we have been able to adopt some of the technologies used in our hybrids to provide the functionality for our regular combustion engines."
The option, which is currently available on the 2014 1.5L Fusion SE, shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to stop to drastically cut fuel waste in traffic and at lights. When the driver removes their foot from the brake the engine gently starts back up.
Advanced cabin control technology keeps drivers comfortable by keeping the engine on if the vehicle detects uncomfortable temperature changes. Drivers will also be alerted by an on-demand screen in instances when the feature cannot be used. While vehicles equipped with the $295 option have the technology always on, there is an on and off button near the vehicle transmission.
"We are in plans to make it standard on some vehicles and an option on others," said Fusion Marketing Manager Sam Hoyt. "After taking a look at some of the challenges our competitors have with the technology, we are confident we are delivering a valuable product to customers across the board."
The company also is proving that increased fuel economy does not mean a sacrifice in engine power, with the all-new 1.0L EcoBoost Fiesta, which achieves a whopping 45-mpg.
"Our engine combines the drive of a petro gas engine with the torque of a diesel to deliver exceptional power and fuel economy," said Chief Powertrain Engineer Stephen Gill.
The 1.0L EcoBoost engine, which also was available in Europe prior to its North American launch, was recently recognized as the International Engine of the Year for the second year in a row. "It's currently available as a five-speed manual SFE model in a hatch or a sedan," said Paul Seredynski, manager, Global Powertrain Communications. "It's a blast to drive."
Ford also is using full car connectivity to reduce emissions by adjusting speed control with dynamic cruise control. By monitoring real-time road conditions, dynamic cruise control allows drivers to relax as their drivetrain is continuously adjusted to maintain their set speed point and improve fuel economy.
Auto Start-Stop saves fuel use when the car is standing and running at idle. Savings vary depending on driving patterns, but owners who spend most time in heavy urban areas and city traffic will benefit the most – up to 10 percent. On average, Auto Start-Stop improves fuel efficiency by about 3.5 percent.
"We've been researching this for a little over a year and a half as a part of the fully connected car system," said Research Engineer Anthony D'Amoto. "The technology requires no internet connection or stored databases and has shown us improvements of up to 10 percent in fuel economy."
A study by the United States Department of the Treasury estimates that congestion consumed an extra 1.9 billion gallons of fuel in 2011, approximately 5 percent of all the gasoline used.
As a part of the company's Blueprint for Sustainability, Ford is doing its part to become a leader in the auto-industry by reducing its carbon footprint and delivering advancing technologies that improve the driving experience.

If, after the recommended waiting period, you find that sex is still painful, or you're too worried or sore to even try, consider seeing a pelvic rehab physical therapist. Pelvic rehabilitation can help alleviate lots of different uncomfortable symptoms that plague postpartum moms, including painful sex, urinary leaking, and others.
Your vagina will certainly be stretched out just after childbirth, but it will start to shrink and regain muscle tone within a few days. Whether or not your vagina returns to its original size depends on a number of factors: genetics, the size of your baby, the number of children you've had, and whether you do Kegel exercises regularly.
How will breastfeeding affect my sex life?
It can. The hormone prolactin, which is boosted by nursing, stimulates milk production, but it may also dampen your libido.
You'll probably also find that you have less vaginal lubrication than you did when you were pregnant, due to lower levels of estrogen while you're nursing. Using a lubricant will help reduce discomfort you might feel from vaginal dryness.
Lubricants are usually found near the condoms or the tampons and sanitary pads in the drugstore. Be sure to get a water-based lubricant, especially if you're using a barrier method for birth control, since oil-based lubricants can weaken latex and cause a condom to break.
Your breasts may not feel like an erogenous zone the way they did before. You may also find that at times they're too tender for touching or sexual stimulation. Let your partner know how much touching or sucking you'd like.
You may worry that your breasts will leak at an inconvenient time – and they might. During climax, some women discover that they experience letdown (their breasts leak or spray milk). That's because the hormones that are present during orgasm are also present during letdown. If it bothers you, nurse your baby or empty your breasts by pumping before having sex. As time goes on and breastfeeding becomes more established, leaking during sex may not happen as frequently.
What are my options for birth control?
It's best to think about birth control before you deliver. Once you give birth, you may start ovulating again at any time, and because you will ovulate before you get your first postpartum period, you can get pregnant if you have unprotected sex during this time. Use condoms until you've got reliable contraception in place.
Talk to your practitioner about what kind of contraception will work best for you now. You may be able to resume using the birth control method you used in the past, or you may decide that something else would work better. Your options will depend in part on whether you want to have more children in the next few years and whether you're breastfeeding. See our article on postpartum contraception for a summary of your choices and links to more information.

"Please don't serve this product to your family until we have additional information about its safety," he said.
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection continues its work with the Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to assist in the inspection and evaluation of imported food items that could contain milk or milk protein from China or other hazardous substance.

A teenage girl was shot while driving near Aurora's Del Mar Park Thursday night. Police are still searching for the gunman.
According to CBS4, officers were sent to the area around 8:20 p.m. and found the girl suffering from a gunshot wound. She was rushed to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Three other people inside the car were not injured.
Police tell CBS4 that the girl driving northbound in the 200 block of North Peoria Street when a car drove up behind them, began to pass and then a passenger in that car shot into the girl's vehicle several times. They don't know if the shooting was a road rage incident or if it was related to an earlier altercation.
The victim drove up onto the sidewalk and stopped. The suspect vehicle took off toward Del Mar Parkway.
Detectives are looking for a tan or brown Toyota Camry that may have been involved in the shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Matt Ingui at 303-739-6067 or they can remain anonymous by reporting it to Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.

That is about the right time to start feeling the quickening (baby moving). I have been able to feel it outside rarely, and usually no one else is around when it happens to enjoy it with me.posted 01/29/2013 by Amorra Aeterna

in response to michellefromgreenwich
Apple made an agreement with AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) when the first version of iChat canme out that Apple IDs issued by Apple would be also Valid AIM Screen Names.
At that time that was the @mac.com names issued under the .Mac Service. These are still valid even if you had a trial version.
Later it was @me.com names issued under MobileMe and more recently those issued under iCloud along with the new @icloud IDs that have also been launched.
IF you had a paid for @me.com name when MobileMe started up you could link the names for email purposes. (effectively it is one accounts with two names)
The same thing has happen now with @icloud.com ID s being also given out if you registered an @me.com name under iCloud.
However these individual names are separate AIM Screen Names when you go to log in via iChat.
There are a few issues depending on which version of iChat and which ID registration process you have gone through.
1) All these IDs (@mac.om, @me.com and @icloud.com) all have to have a password of 16 characters of less due to the limit of the AIM servers.
2) With iCloud Issued @me.com and @icloud.com names that are used in iChat 6 and Mesages in Mountain Lion, Apple have the app logging in to me.com as well to then allow the AIM servers to "see" the password.
This means iCloud issued IDs will not work with iChat 5 or earlier versions.
The most likely cause is that the password you have for your Apple ID is too long to work with the AIM servers.
It is possible that you have an ID that will not work with your version of iChat despite being a valid ID.

Paper Roses
It is easy to make lovely dimensional paper roses. These beauties will not go on your scrapbooking pages, but will instead be used to decorate all kinds of projects, for example: a picture frame, gift box, decorative jar, hair barrette, twig bouquet, greeting card or even a wedding reception table.
Created by Micheline Petit.
Step 1
Choose your paper, plain or patterned, but preferably printed on both sides and cut four flowers (three large and one small) using the template provided below.
OPTION * For a quicker result, you can use a large flower punch or flower cut-outs from the Cricut® machine or the Sizzix® Big Shot.
Step 2
In order to give more texture to the flowers, ink the outline of all the petals with a matching colour.
TRICK * If the back of your paper is white, take the time to dab it roughly with ink.
Step 3
Shape each petal, curving the sides inwards with a stylus or the tip of a pencil.
OPTION * For a more old-fashioned look, spray each flower cut-out with water and then crumple the paper by crushing it in one hand. Gently unfold and allow to dry before the next step. Accelerate drying with a hair dryer or an embossing iron.
Step 4
To shape the centre of the rose, fold the petals of the smallest flower inward and roll them in a cylinder with your fingers.
Start by gluing together two petals face to face with a dab of hot glue at the bottom, then overlay and glue the other petals.
Step 5
Under the rosebud created in Step 4, layer and glue a second flower and make sure the petals are not aligned (shift them slightly). Fold the petals upwards and continue with the other two flower cut-outs by layering and gluing them under in the same way.
Step 6
Finally bend each petal down by rolling the tip with the stylus to create a more opened rose.
Download Pattern
Instead of the template, use large flower punch (between 5-9 petals) or flower cut-outs from the Cricut® machine or the Sizzix® Big Shot die-cut machine.
You can die-cut the flower shapes with your Cricut. The 5-petal model comes with the original cartridge.
Adult supervision is required at all times.

Mayor Dan Sullivan and the Anchorage Assembly are faced this month with a good problem to have: what to do with the $13 million municipal budget surplus that was announced Wednesday.
At the end of 2013, Anchorage had $8.5 million extra in its five main funds -- separate accounts for the fire and police departments, roads, parks, and general government -- plus a windfall of $4.6 million from a court decision that forced the owners of the trans-Alaska pipeline system to pay higher taxes. (Anchorage's share stems from pipeline infrastructure housed in the city.)
The Sullivan administration is proposing that the city put nearly $3 million toward property tax relief and $7 million into savings. The rest would go for one-time expenses, like $436,000 for the referendum that will be held in November on the controversial labor law that passed the Assembly last year.
Some Assembly members, meanwhile, said that they're interested in using some of the surplus to ease the budget pressures on the Anchorage School District.
In a radio appearance Thursday morning, Mayor Sullivan said the surplus was "very gratifying," and he credited work by city departments to control overtime and equipment costs.
Dick Traini, one of Sullivan's opponents on the Assembly, said that the excess cash was a "good reflection upon how well the city has done," but would not give Sullivan much credit.
"I think this would have happened regardless of who was mayor," said Traini, who represents Midtown.
Sullivan and Lucinda Mahoney, Anchorage's chief fiscal officer, have both urged caution with how the surplus gets spent.
There are several issues still being discussed in the state Legislature that could put the city under financial stress, like Anchorage's obligations to the state retirement system, as well as the amount of money the city receives under state revenue sharing programs.
"If that happens, the surplus is going to disappear real quick," Sullivan said.
The Assembly will likely consider Sullivan's budget plan at a meeting later this month, where members will have the opportunity to propose their own increases or decreases in spending. Pete Petersen, the newly-elected Assembly member for East Anchorage, said that Sullivan's plan to give some of the surplus to taxpayers "definitely makes sense."
"We just have to see if there's some of it that we need to fill some positions to make services run a little better," he said. He added that he wasn't sure yet which positions he thought could be filled.
Traini said he wanted Sullivan to better explain certain one-time spending line items before he would sign off on the proposal.
Traini also said he wants some of the surplus to help pay for school district police officers. The city assumed some of the district's $3 million annual cost for those officers in last year's budget process, but Sullivan vetoed a measure that would have covered a larger proportion.
If the city puts money towards the police officers, Traini said that the school district would end up with more money to keep some of the more than 100 teachers expected to be laid off as a result of a budget shortfall.
One other consideration for Anchorage officials is whether the state will increase its own level of funding for education.
Right now, a state law limits the amount of property taxes that the city can put toward the school district. If state legislators decide to boost education funding, that in turn would allow Anchorage to spend more city money, as well.
While the state Legislature has not yet set its education policy for the next year, it's likely it will grant some level of additional funding. The proposal from the Sullivan administration anticipates a $200 per-student funding increase, which would allow the city to raise an extra $3.4 million in property taxes annually.
Sullivan, a Republican who's running for lieutenant governor, said he would favor raising property taxes up to the cap. While he questioned what the extra money would buy the school district, he said that any decision to reduce the amount should be up to Assembly members, and that his proposal was simply a "starting point."
"We throw the starting point out there, and the starting point reflects what we think is the responsible way to spend the money," he said in an interview. "Appropriations are the Assembly's job, and I think they should be asking that very question: What are we getting for this money?"
Assembly Chair Patrick Flynn, who represents downtown and Mountain View, said that the city should tax up to the cap to serve as a signal to legislators in Juneau.
"What I heard from legislators when I visited was, 'If we're going to do more, then we want you to do more,'" he said. "So that would be my inclination."

NINDS Summer Student Wins Rhodes Scholarship
By Shannon E. Garnett
John Probasco, a three-time participant in the NINDS Summer Program for the Neurological Sciences, was recently chosen to receive a 2002 Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford University in England.
"When I heard my name called I was overcome by a mixture of emotions, namely disbelief, shock and joy," said Probasco. "I see it as a form of recognition for what I have been able to do and a confirmation for what I hope to do in the future. I am excited with this opportunity to study in a new field in another country under a different system of learning."
The Rhodes scholarship was created in 1902 by the estate of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes and is the oldest international study award available to American students. Probasco, a senior at the University of New Mexico (UNM) majoring in biochemistry, is one of 32 U.S. students to receive the scholarship, which provides for 2 or 3 years of study at Oxford. This year's winners were chosen from 925 applicants endorsed by 319 colleges and universities nationwide, and were selected based on high academic achievement, personal integrity and leadership potential.
"This award is also recognition for the time and belief that others, such as Dr. Eric Wassermann and Mr. Levon Parker, have placed in me," said Probasco.
He spent the summers of 1998, 1999 and 2000 in NINDS's brain stimulation unit (BSU), working with Wassermann, and won the Exceptional Summer Student Award all 3 years for his work in human motor cortex physiology.
"John is an exceptionally bright and motivated kid who truly deserves this thing," said Wassermann, who heads the BSU and served as Probasco's preceptor in the summer program.
While at NINDS, Probasco learned the fundamentals of a variety of scientific methods, including general intelligence inventories to test cognitive function, transcranial magnetic stimulation to study the human nervous system, and learning tasks to test an individual's ability to learn a pattern of stimuli and appropriate responses. The program also allowed him to interact with students from across the country who shared his interest in neurology. He credits the program which offers a unique opportunity for students to get hands-on experience working with leading scientists in the institute's intramural division with helping him decide to pursue a career in medicine.
"I would not trade the summers I spent at NINDS for any other experience. Through the summer program and the efforts of the preceptors, students are able to see first-hand how the principles and knowledge gleaned from basic science can be translated to medical reality. For this, there is no substitution," said Probasco.
At Oxford he will read for a bachelor of arts degree in a program that combines philosophy, psychology and physiology. The program explores the relationships between these three fields in relation to one's sense of self, personality and the link between mental health and physical well-being. In addition, the program offers the opportunity to study medical ethics. After Oxford, he plans to study for a medical degree and a Ph.D. in neuroscience, and then to pursue a career in science and public policy.
Currently Probasco works with a group of UNM researchers studying the cellular characteristics of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. Earlier, he received a Truman scholarship, an honor that recognizes students with leadership potential, intellectual ability and the likelihood of "making a difference."

Chairman Durbin, Senator Coburn and Members of the Committee, thank you for holding this important hearing. I am pleased to be with you today to discuss U.S. efforts to promote and protect Internet freedom.
This past year we have seen more and more people around the globe gaining greater access to more information through the Internet, cell phones and other forms of connection technologies. From Iran to China, from Egypt to Colombia, activists, journalists and ordinary citizens are using digital technologies to spread and access information in real time. Simultaneously, too many governments are spending more time, more money and more attention to implement regulatory and technical mechanisms that are intended to curtail freedom of expression and the free flow of information.1
As the Internet and other connection technologies evolve and the number of users multiplies, the State Department is committed to defending freedom of expression and the free flow of information on this new terrain of the 21st century. In her recent speech at the Newseum, Secretary Clinton emphasized that the defense of a free, open and interconnected Internet is in our national and global interests and is important for commerce, for diplomatic and political relations, and for building sustainable democratic societies.
The Department is committed to implementing the Secretary's vision for Internet freedom. In partnership with Members of Congress, with increased resources and through a variety of tactics, we are working to promote Internet freedom as a key component of our foreign policy.
Within the Department, the Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero and Under Secretary for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs Robert Hormats lead our efforts on Internet freedom. Since 2006, the Under Secretaries have chaired an Internet freedom taskforce, which was officially re-launched last week as the NetFreedom Taskforce. The Taskforce serves as a policy-coordinating body within the Department and includes participation from the regional bureaus, public affairs and the Office of the Legal Adviser. The taskforce's leadership by the Under Secretaries for
Economics and for Global Affairs reflects the Department's commitment to aligning our principles with our business interests.
The NetFreedom Taskforce operates according to three core principles: advancing Internet freedom through expanded access to the Internet; monitoring Internet freedom; and responding to threats to Internet freedom.
The Department funds programs that support unrestricted access to online content through technology, training and increased access for marginalized groups. Beginning in 2008, the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) has implemented $15 million in programming in support of Internet freedom, and we will soon award more than $5 million in additional funding.
The goal of DRL's Internet freedom programming is simple: unfettered, safe access to information and communications for more people in more places.
To achieve this objective, we support the development of new tools that enable individuals to exercise their right to freedom of expression by circumventing politically motivated censorship and technological barriers to secure person-to-person communications. We fund groups around the world to make sure these tools get to the people who need them, in their local languages. And we provide training in how to access and use the Internet safely. In our latest request for proposals, we focused on access to information on mobile devices and cyber-security for NGOs and digital activists, which we have identified as emerging trends.
But DRL is not the only government entity focusing on this issue; others, such as USAID and the Office of the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), also fund innovative programs that promote freedom of expression and the free flow of information on the Internet and other connection technologies:
In addition to programming, the Department advances Internet freedom through official human rights dialogues and economic dialogues, and in multilateral organizations. For example, we will make Internet freedom an important agenda item in the upcoming Communications and Information Policy Dialogue and the Human Rights Dialogue with China. I have raised the issue in informal meetings with government counterparts, as have Ambassador Phil Verveer and Under Secretaries Hormats and Otero. We are deploying our diplomatic resources not only to speak out when threats to Internet freedom arise, but also to build alliances to promote Internet freedom.
Monitoring and Analyzing
The second of our core principles is monitoring. Monitoring threats to Internet freedom informs our policymaking and programming decisions. Since 2006, we have reported on Internet freedom in our annual human rights reports, which will be released later this month. In 2010, we are undertaking a review of the human rights reporting process and will improve our Internet freedom reporting to be more detailed and dynamic. We will also work with experts in the field of counter-censorship to make the human rights reports more accessible to people with limited or restricted Internet access. And we are increasing the capacity of embassy officers to monitor and respond to threats to Internet freedom by developing a training course at the Foreign Service Institute specifically on the topic of Internet freedom.
From 2007 to 2009, the Department has funded spatial analysis of blogospheres in order to better understand relationships among interests within particular language groups.
Through the NetFreedom Taskforce, we have established a working-level group on Internet freedom that will staff the Under Secretaries on these issues. It will meet regularly to coordinate and implement policy, activities and programming on the topic. We are using technology to improve coordination and information-sharing among this group so that we are better able to quickly identify emerging threats to Internet freedom.
The third and final principle guiding our Internet freedom efforts is responding to threats to Internet freedom. As threats arise, we will work diligently to ensure that all State and government-wide assets provide a coordinated and effective response, including diplomatic, technical and public diplomacy strategies. We engage vigorously with foreign governments when bloggers or digital activists have come under attack or when content or services are blocked. For example, when a popular social networking site was blocked in Vietnam late last year, we raised the issue with government officials in Washington and Hanoi. When bloggers, in countries such as China and Egypt, are
threatened and persecuted for what they post online, we speak out on their behalf. And when countries adopt repressive laws that restrict Internet access, we speak out against those efforts, as we have in Kazakhstan and Belarus, and pursue bilateral and multilateral initiatives to address the problems.
We also engage with technology firms and civil society organizations on the issue of censorship. As referenced in the Secretary's speech at the Newseum, Under Secretaries Hormats and Otero will convene a meeting of technology executives this Thursday at the State Department to discuss Internet freedom. I will be part of that meeting, as will Ambassador Verveer. Both Ambassador Verveer and I have been meeting with NGOs and companies since the Secretary's speech and will continue to seek their input as we develop our policy in response to new threats and emerging trends. The NetFreedom Taskforce will convene a meeting this summer with external stakeholders to address emerging threats and opportunities to promote Internet freedom.
The Department is supportive of voluntary action by industry to improve Internet freedom, such as through the Global Network Initiative (GNI), a multi-stakeholder initiative that includes companies, NGOs, investors and academics. We share your enthusiasm for action by companies on this issue in a multi-stakeholder setting, with a clear set of principles, guidelines for implementing those principles, and a means for verifying compliance.
Finally, Mr. Chairman, our partnership with and support from those in Congress, like you and this Committee, are important and vital to this issue. It will be very helpful to have both the Executive and Legislative branches signaling the importance of Internet freedom and freedom of expression. I want to thank you again for convening this hearing, for the very important and timely work of this Committee, and for your leadership. I am keen to continue the conversation, consult with the Committee on the issue of Internet freedom and to work together in the future to advance Internet freedom. I am happy to answer your questions.

Seattle Neighborhoods and Crime Survey, 2002-2003 Matsueda, Ross L. adolescents attitudes citizen crime reporting citizen participation community involvement crime firearms gangs housing images neighborhood characteristics neighborhood conditions neighborhoods neighbors police police effectiveness public opinion race relations victims
The objective of the Seattle Neighborhoods and Crime Survey (SNCS) was to test multilevel theories of neighborhood social organization and criminal violence. It was funded by the National Science Foundation (SES-0004324), and the National Consortium on Violence Research (SBR-9513040). Using the concept of differential neighborhood organization, the investigators posited that neighborhood crime is a function of informal social control against crime and informal organization in favor of crime. Informal neighborhood control against crime consists of neighborhood attachment, social capital, and collective efficacy. The study tested the hypothesis that individual social ties are explained by a rational choice model, which in turn produces neighborhood social capital that can be used to achieve collective goals. It also tested the hypothesis that neighborhoods rich in social capital had greater collective efficacy, which in turn, helped produce safe neighborhoods. Organization in favor of crime consists of violent codes of the street. The study tested the hypothesis that residents from disadvantaged neighborhoods tend to distrust police and other agents of conventional institutions, and consequently are more likely to participate in street culture, in which violence is a way of obtaining street credibility and status, as well as resolving disputes. The project has also examined dimensions of neighboring, and the causes and consequences of fear of crime.

The study used a telephone survey of households within all 123 census tracts in the city of Seattle, WA, conducted in 2002-2003. The sampling frame was designed by investigators at the University of Washington, with three objectives in mind: (a) to gain a random sample of households within each of 123 census tracts; (b) to obtain a disproportionate number of racial and ethnic minorities using an ethnic oversample; and (c) to obtain a replication sample of Terrance Miethe's 1990 victimization survey in 100 Seattle neighborhoods [Testing Theories of Criminality and Victimization in Seattle, 1960-1990]. Specific samples were drawn by Genesys, a sampling firm in Philadelphia, PA, using a constantly-updated compilation of white pages. Telephone interviews were conducted by the Social and Behavioral Research Institute at California State University, San Marcos, using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) technology.

Respondents were asked about household demographics, such as race, gender, residential mobility, age distribution of the household, and income, their perceptions and assessments of their neighborhoods (including safety, disorder, and crime), neighbors, and relations with police. A variety of questions about neighboring were asked, including social capital (intergenerational closure, reciprocated exchange, and participation in neighborhood associations), attachment to their neighborhood, and collective efficacy (child-centered social control). Respondents were asked about routine activities including taking steps to protect their homes, spending time in bars and nightclubs, and leaving their home unattended. Questions about fear of crime included personal fear as well as altruistic fear for other members of the household, and questions about racial attitudes included residential preferences by race composition of the neighborhood. A victimization inventory modeled after the National Crime Victimization Survey was used for burglary, vandalism, stolen property, violence, and robbery. Demographic information includes age, race, sex, education, martial status, household income, whether respondent was a student, employment status, religious affiliation, approximate value of home, monthly rent including utilities, residence history in the last five years, whether respondent was born in the Unites States, and number of people currently living in the respondent's household.

Yellow-bellied slider turtle (Trachemys scripta)
|Also known as:
|common slider, Cumberland slider turtle, red-eared slider turtle, slider
|Chrysemys scripta, Emys cumberlandensis, Emys elegans, Emys troostii, Pseudemys scripta, Testudo scripta
|Trachemys (1)
|Male carapace length: up to 24 cm (1)
Female carapace length: up to 29 cm (1)
The yellow-bellied slider turtle is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The distinctive markings of the yellow-bellied slider turtle (Trachemys scripta) make it very popular in the pet trade (1). It has conspicuous yellow stripes on its head, neck and limbs, and a striking yellow, red or orange spot either side of the head (2). The oval carapace of the yellow-bellied slider turtle is olive to brown, with yellow stripes or bars (3). The plastron is yellow and usually has single dark blotches on each bony plate (2).
Three subspecies are recognised: Trachemys scripta scripta, Trachemys scripta troostii and Trachemys scripta elegans. The coloured markings on the shell, body and head vary between subspecies (1) (2).
The male yellow-bellied slider turtle is usually smaller than the female and has a long, thick tail. The male will also become darker as it matures. In some subspecies, the male has elongated, curved claws on the front feet (2) (4).
The yellow-bellied slider turtle is native to eastern and central North America. This species has been introduced into other parts of North America, Europe, Africa and Asia, and is becoming increasingly abundant in many countries outside its native range (1).
The yellow-bellied slider turtle can be found ina wide range of freshwater habitats, rivers, ditches, swamps, lakes and ponds. It prefers shallow, slow-flowing waters with abundant aquatic vegetation to feed on, soft bottom substrates and plenty of basking sites (1) (5).
The yellow-bellied slider turtle tends to hibernate underwater or in more secluded and protected places near edges of the waterline (6).
In Mexico, the yellow-bellied slider turtle is normally found in river habitats. In Europe, this species can be found in most freshwater habitats, generally near human populations (1).
The yellow-bellied slider turtle is an opportunistic omnivore, feeding on a wide range of animals and plant matter. Food preferences change as the yellow-bellied slider turtle matures, with the juvenile having a predominantly carnivorous diet, and the adult feeding mainly on aquatic plants (2).
The yellow-bellied slider turtle can live up to 30 years. The male matures between two to five years, and the female matures between five to eight years. The female can produce up to 3 clutches per year, laying between 5 and 20 eggs which hatch after an incubation period of between 60 to 91 days (1). Eggs are laid in jug-shaped nests, dug in soft, damp soil in open, unshaded areas. Females may travel over a kilometre from the water to find a suitable nesting site (2).
In the European populations, reproduction in the wild is rarely successful, although egg laying behaviour has been observed. However, successful breeding may occur in southern European counties where the summers are warmer (2).
The yellow-bellied slider turtle is widespread and common, and is not considered endangered. However, certain populations may be threatened by habitat loss, pollution and collection for the pet trade (1).
Trachemys scripta elegans is considered to be one of the 100 top invasive species in the world, and has been introduced to many countries through the pet trade. Introduced populations of the yellow-bellied slider turtle compete with local turtle species for food, nesting and basking sites. These populations may also carry new parasites, which threaten native species such as the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) (5).
No conservation measures are known to specifically target the yellow-bellied slider turtle, but this species occurs in a number of protected areas (1).
The importation of Trachemys scripta elegans into Europe has been banned by the European Union, but this ban does not apply to the two other subspecies. Proper education into the responsibilities of keeping the yellow-bellied slider turtle as a pet, and disposal methods for unwanted pets, are needed to stem the invasive threats posed by the yellow-bellied slider turtle (1).

India Could Soon Have the Highest Number of People With HIV/AIDS, Says US Ambassador
November 7, 2002
At an AIDS prevention conference in Madras Wednesday, US Ambassador Robert Blackwill said, "If the disease is unchecked here, India could soon surpass South Africa with the highest number of HIV/AIDS sufferers in the world." UNAIDS says 4 million Indians are infected, second only to South Africa, where 4.7 million people have HIV. Citing a US government report, Blackwill said 25 million people in India could be infected by 2010. The United States plans to double its AIDS prevention assistance to India during the next five years. The Indian government maintains its prevention programs are paying off and the number of new cases is stabilizing. With the help of donor agencies, India has launched programs including cheap drug distribution and AIDS awareness promotion among school children.

Of course, we're not talking about the functional aspects of the decision, we're talking about the political ramifications. To that end, I see two obvious sourcs of a potential problem; the local media and Jeter himself.
So far as the media goes, that really should never be a consideration at all, especially in New York. The tabloids are going to squawk no matter what you do. If Jeter gets moved to the bottom of the lineup, Girardi is an idiot and Brian Cashman is the big meanie upstairs who doesn't get it and doesn't respect the legendary status of Derek Jeter. If Jeter stays in the leadoff spot, then everyone's afraid to stand up to The Captain. There's no winning with the Post and Daily News, ever. If the Yankees win the World Series the next year, someone in those papers will have a column about C.C. Sabathia's opt-out clause the day after.
Jeter's own reaction to it, however, could be the difficult part. After all, no one likes getting demoted, and it is likely to wound Jeter's pride. But this goes back to what I said the other day about overcoming status quo bias; the best way to implement a difficult decision is to simply do it and plow ahead. If the Yankees decide Jeter is being moved down the lineup, move him down and move on. Hear out his complaints in the short run, and if they persist too long just make it clear that it's not his decision and that what's done is done and as a player his job is to get in line. That sounds harsh, but let's be honest, if we were talking about Curtis Granderson and not Derek Jeter this wouldn't be nearly so controversial.
The thing is, once you've made the decision and stuck with it, everyone will eventually adjust to the new norm. Instead of being Derek Jeter: Yankee Legend, Hall-of-Famer, starting shortstop, and leadoff hitter he'll just be Derek Jeter: Yankee Legend, Hall-of-Famer, and starting shortstop and everyone will more or less forget the great lineup controversy.
None of this should be taken as another argument for moving Jeter to the bottom of the lineup per se, but rather a general critique of the way organizations make and implement decisions. The bottom line is; simple changes like re-working the batting order or deploying a new bullpen strategy are only difficult if you make them difficult.

WASHINGTON — As thousands packed into a Washington, D.C., stadium to see Pope Benedict XVI, U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo attacked the pontiff for statements about immigration.
Tancredo, a Littleton Republican, accused the pope of welcoming illegal immigrants to the U.S. in order to build membership in the church.
The Catholic leader, while in Washington today, said: "I want to encourage you and your communities to continue to welcome the immigrants who join your ranks today, to share their joys and hopes, to support them in their sorrows and trials and to help them flourish in their new home."
Tancredo cited a March 1 editorial in the Wall Street Journal that said the Catholic Church "has been losing members rapidly — as much as a third of the native-born Catholic population.
The Journal editorial added: "We'd encourage our friends on the right who want to limit immigration to consider the health of our churches."
"I suspect the pope's immigration comments may have less to do with spreading the gospel than they do about recruiting new members of the church," Tancredo said. "This isn't preaching; it is faith-based marketing."
Tancredo was raised Catholic but now attends Cherry Hills Community Church, an evangelical Christian church.

While it's tempting to use the TV as a babysitter – especially before dinner, when you need to be in the kitchen – you shouldn't get into the habit: Research shows that too much TV watching can actually restrict a child's ability to think and imagine.
The answer? Bring your child into the kitchen with you. You have plenty of "ingredients" for fun inside the cupboards and drawers.
Here are some expert suggestions that will help you keep the TV off while you and your child cook up some fun. Don't worry if you have a small kitchen. These suggestions can be used anytime, anywhere.
The power of pretend play. Try playing a make-believe game with your child, suggests Jerome L. Singer, co-director of the Family Television Research and Consultation Center at Yale University. Not only will pretend play give your child an opportunity to use his imagination, says Singer, but research shows that kids who play make-believe tend to be happier than other kids.
Pretend you are at your child's favorite restaurant, for instance. Outfit your child with an apron and help him set up a table and chairs for his stuffed animals. Or imagine that you are going on a picnic: Set out a blanket and a basket and ask your child what kind of food he would pack.
Make a mini kitchen. Set up a small table for your little chef in one corner of the kitchen with a few cooking utensils (small pot, cutting board, butter knife) and some of the ingredients you're using for dinner. Your child can imitate you while pretending to make dinner too.
"When children imitate their parents, it makes them feel grown-up and they feel a sense of power," says Marilyn Segal, dean emeritus at the Family and School Center at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. If your child has a play kitchen in her room, consider moving it into the kitchen where you can cook side by side.
Funnel fun. Seat your child at the table in front of two plastic washtubs and some beans or colored rice. Provide a funnel and some spoons, and show your child how to pour the beans and rice back and forth, suggests Kathy Kenworthy, who teaches preschool at the Broadway Children's School in Oakland, California.
Be sure to keep an eye on your child, Kenworthy warns. Some young children may try to put beans or rice in their nose and ears, where they can get stuck.
Kitchen helper. Instead of trying to keep your child distracted while you make dinner, enlist her help. Your child will probably be delighted to pitch in.
Find easy tasks your child can help with: washing vegetables, dropping vegetables into a salad, stirring, even measuring ingredients (with help). She might enjoy trying to cut cubes of cheese or pieces of bread with a butter knife.
Safety, of course, is the most important thing. Keep hot pans, the stove top, sharp knives, and other potentially dangerous tools well out of reach.
Play dough creations. Kids love to use play dough to make their own cakes, cookies, and more.
To make the colored dough, combine 2 cups white flour, ½ cup salt, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, ¼ cup cream of tartar, and a drop of food coloring in a saucepan over medium heat. When the mixture looks smooth, let it cool and give it to your child to play with. (You can also keep it in the fridge for future on-the-spot creations.)
Kenworthy suggests setting up a tray with the colored dough and some objects for your child to shape the dough with. Cookie cutters, toothpicks, and bottle caps are all good choices.
"Four-year-olds love to use garlic presses," Kenworthy says. Two- and 3-year-olds may have trouble squeezing the garlic press together, but they can use plastic knives and children's scissors to cut the play dough, she says.
Homespun place mats. You'll be surprised at how the TV will pale in comparison to an art project, even a simple one, Kenworthy says.
Try setting up a small arts and crafts table in the kitchen (or drape a plastic tarp over the dinner table). Outfit it with glue, markers, construction paper, scissors, beans, and various types of uncooked pasta. Your child can create colorful place mats for family members and decorate the borders with the beans and pasta.
Explore the cupboard. An open cupboard stocked with child-safe kitchen tools – such as plastic bowls, measuring cups, utensils, and pots – can keep a young child busy while you work. Let your child explore freely: She'll probably entertain herself by banging pans together, putting one cup inside another, stacking cups, or trying to imitate you.
Playful pizza. Buy ready-made pizza dough and give your child a bowl of cooked tomato sauce to smear onto the crust. Then let him decorate the pizza with pieces of grated cheese, pepperoni, olives, slices of tomato and pepper, and anything else he'd like on it. Many children like to make smiley faces or patterns.
After you've cooked the pizza, point out to your child how the ingredients look different (mushrooms shrink, cheese melts, colors deepen) after they've been cooked.
Cook up a story. Bring your kids into the kitchen and tell each other stories, Kenworthy suggests. Try using kitchen items for inspiration.
For example, the pasta you're about to dump into the boiling water can represent scuba divers on a daring mission. Encourage your child to add to the tale or start one of her own.
"Telling stories is terrific for children's language development," Kenworthy says. Storytelling helps children organize their thoughts and learn new vocabulary, and communicating with you boosts their self-esteem, she says. Tip: Your child will love hearing about a main character that greatly resembles her.
Sort it out. Set a bunch of different objects – fruits, silverware (no sharp knives!), cups – on the table and ask your child to separate them into different groups, Kenworthy suggests.
While he's concentrating on the task, talk to him about the objects he's sorting: What color are they? What are they used for?
Not only will your child have fun with everyday objects, he'll also learn about them. "Sorting is one way young kids explore the world," Kenworthy says.

OK, I cheated a little bit. It was actually 51 degrees when I set out on my ride this morning, and the total mileage was 54, but I liked the 53 theme.
I've got some good mileage this year, but no long climbs in the mountains. With RAMROD coming up, I decided I needed some vertical miles so I headed out to Mt. Rainier National Park, parked just outside the park entrance and headed up to the Sunrise Visitor Center.
It was chilly when I set out -- I wore knee warmers, a base layer under my jersey, and arm warmers.
From where I parked my car, it's just over 20 miles to the top...about 19.5 of that is straight up.
Plenty of snow by the road near the top.
Bike enjoying the view.
Obligatory shot of bike on Sunrise sign, w/Mt. Rainier looking on. Elevation is 6,400 at this point.
Plenty of others out on the road today -- probably saw 15 or 20 other cyclists either ascending or descending the road to Sunrise (it's about 2 hours from the city to get to any of the places where cyclists start from).
I chatted w/these two at the top; they were out to do 100 miles today.
National Park Service visitor center at the top.
View of Mt. Rainier on the way down. This is a pretty nice descent -- they've been repairing rough patches in the road this summer, so it feels relatively safe. I kept it below 40 miles an hour...zoomed along at 25 to 35 mph most of the way down.
I had taken my arm warmers and knee warmers off during my climb up, but put the arm warmers back on for the descent.
After I got to the bottom, I did another climb up to Crystal Mountain Ski Resort -- about six miles straight up from where I parked my car. Very nice ski resort, undergoing renovation and expansion.
Descent from Crystal Mountain. Windy as heck; a gust caught me at one point and almost blew me over.
Great day; great scenery; nice roads; polite drivers. It was 71 degrees when I got back to my car.

InvestorPlace has compiled a list of 10 best stocks for 2013 by asking 10 different experts to each pick an investment they expect to outperform from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 this year. Charles Sizemore of Sizemore Capital Management riffed with me last week about half of the picks (listen to that podcast here) and we revisited the topic to offer our personal take on the second half of the list in today's podcast.
I must state for the record that the entire list is full of strong picks, but this is admittedly a "swing for the fences" feature trying for big gains in a horizon of just 12 months. So don't let any bullishness or bearishness for the purpose of your contest influence you if you're looking for a quick swing trade or a buy-and-hold play in any of these stocks that lasts well beyond our Dec. 31 deadline.
Anyway, the picks we cover here include:
- Mobile tech powerhouse Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) from Paul R. La Monica. Read his original recommendation here in "Qualcomm: Year of the Snapdragon."
- The ETF Global X Funds Greece (NYSEARCA:GREK) from Mebane Faber. Read his original recommendation here in "Buy Greece? Buy Greece."
- Generic drug stock Mylan (NASDAQ:MYL) from Rick Pendergraft. Read his original recommendation here in "Mylan Has the Rx for Portfolio Growth."
- Metals and mining powerhouse Vale (NYSE:VALE) from Stephanie Link. Read her original recommendation here in "A Global Recovery Will Lift VALE to New Heights."
- Semiconductor giant Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) from yours truly, me. Read my original recommendation here in "Intel Pays Big Dividends Now, and Shares Could Soar in 2013." But if you want more info, check out Charles' recent article about Intel as his favorite tobacco stock or my breakdown of Q4 earnings at INTC.
Read more about the 10 best stocks for 2013 on InvestorPlace.com for details on the full list and to follow the contest across the year.And listen in to Charles and I riff on the first five picks of this series, including Charles' own selection of Daimler (PINK:DDAIF).

Joe Tereshinski III was named the 49ers' receivers coach, Jan. 1, 2012. In his three years with the program, he has helped build the program from the 2012 red-shirt season to the inaugural season of 2013 and through Season Two in 2014.
In 2013, the 49ers receiving corps helped QB Matt Johnson rank 31st in the FCS with 2,581 passing yards. The 49ers put up 450 or more yards in each of its five wins and had five games of 500+ yards. In 2014, slot receiver Austin Duke became the program's first 1,000-yard receiver (1,337 rec. yards) while the 49ers threw for nearly 3,000 yards (265.0/game) and 19 TDs. A 2006 Georgia grad, Tereshinski spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Wake Forest, in 2010-11, and worked primarily with tight ends in 2011.
The starting quarterback at Georgia in 2006, Joe III is a third generation Bulldog. His grandfather, Joe Sr., (Redskins) was a tight end and defensive end on Georgia's 1942 and 1946 SEC Championship teams. His father, Joe Jr. was a member of the Bulldogs 1976 SEC Championship team, alongside his uncle, Wally. Joe's brother, John, was a Wake Forest tight end from 2004-07.
"Joe comes from a long line of football players. He's been around the game his whole life," Lambert noted. "I coached with his father and had a chance to recruit and coach his brother, John. Joe's a high-character guy. I had a chance to work with him at Wake. He has a great wealth of knowledge offensively. He played quarterback at the highest level and can bring a great perspective for our receivers. He has great contacts and relationships in Georgia and will represent Charlotte in a first class manner."
Joe was a red-shirt during Georgia's 2002 SEC title season and played on special teams and as the long snapper before taking over as QB in 2006. He was a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll during his time with the Bulldogs.
A 2006 graduate, Tereshinski double-majored in finance and risk management. He and his wife, Jill, have a daughter, Molly and son, Joe IV. They live in Harrisburg, N.C.

This will be our 3rd Annual Smokin' for Gold, with Whole Foods helping out with sponsorship. The event will be on the Main Lawn, (same location as the last competition). All teams have access to commercial kitchen, turn in is close to where teams are setting up. We have plenty of parking, though 'extra' vehicles will not be parked next to set up. We love the camps the teams set up, we will be adding some fun little competitions for this event as it gets closer.
It is extremely helpful and makes set up go easier if when teams turn in their apps, they include any electrical requirements, or any other special requirements so that we can do our best to accommodate.
We will post the pay out schedule very soon, however the pot will be increasing to $5,000, thanks to Whole Foods of Folsom. Hurry and take advantage of Early Sign up.

As it turns out, I won't be racing Downers Grove this weekend. It has been on my schedule for a year now, but as July turned into August I realized that I just wasn't prepared for it. Physically I'd be fine (pack filler, but fine), but mentally it's just not there ... and DG is NOT the place to be mentally disengaged.
Instead, I get to be UNCLE CHRIS all weekend! I'm so excited -- my nephew Gabe is coming in from Arizona (with his mom of course), and Kim and I are headed out to Woodstock tonight to see the fam. Kaylie will be there too, of course, so we'll have a 5-year-old and an almost-3-year-old fighting for our attention -- it's going to be so much fun!
(Can I just tell you how cool it is when I hear Gabe yell "Uncle Chris! Uncle Chris!" Or when Kaylie says her really cute, quiet "uncle kiss". It is so awesome.)
Just one week to go until I try my hand at WORS, and I'm going to get out to Rock Cut one day this weekend and maybe Kettle the other. With a full house out in Woodstock, Kim and I are thinking about camping in the back yard -- should be a really good way to get ready for Devil's Head!

A Tallahassee jury awarded a South Florida family $2 million in its civil rights suit against several Jefferson County deputies.
The McCloud family sued the deputies in federal court saying they illegally strip searched both mother and daughter as well as illegally searched their relatives' home afterward.
The five Jefferson County deputies denied the claims saying they had permission to search that night. But after three days of deliberations, a jury found officers guilty on all counts.
