Member Spotlight
Berta Davis, PhD (Encino, Calif.)
Berta Davis was brought up in a conservative Jewish family in Brooklyn. She married for the first time in her early 20s, believing virginity would be the answer to marital bliss. Open communication about penis, vagina and sexual pleasure did not come naturally to Davis, who at 25 years of age, in analysis, became horrified by the bill of goods she had been sold, and went on to spend at least the next 25 years in revolt against the personal and social upheavals that traditional sexual mores represented. Davis' connection to Asian healing energies - whether in the form of yoga, meditation or shiatsu massage - has enormously facilitated her personal growth and development, she says.
When she and her second husband moved to Los Angeles in 1983, Davis didn't know a soul. She'd left an exciting professional world behind and wanted to establish herself professionally in "tinsel town." Davis enrolled in the one-year Human Sexuality Program at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), with Joshua Golden, Barry Reynolds, Anna Heinrich and Susan Price.
"These four inspiring clinicians and teachers introduced me to the cognitive behavioral world of sex therapy," Davis says. "This world was thousands of miles away from my New York psychoanalytic roots, which had inspired and nurtured me throughout my early life and training." She felt her deepest identifications were challenged, although she appreciated the behavioral model and found it quite helpful in dealing with anxiety based sexual concerns. Davis continued, however, to feel more comfortable in psychodynamic playgrounds where the complexity of human behavior and the influence of unconscious factors were more regularly explored.
Davis became an AASECT certified sex therapist in 1987. She is a clinical associate at the University of Southern California, where she supervises graduate psychology students in couples and sex therapy, in addition to her private practice. She served on the Los Angeles County Psychological Association Board for over 20 years, holding every post from membership chair to president. She also served several years for Division 42 of the Board of the American Psychological Association.
Davis is married to Benjamin Nitzberg, a retired pediatrician, who in their 30 years together has "inspired or dragged me (depending upon my mood) to travel throughout the world and to live and work for over five years in Tokyo, Japan." While in Japan, she gave birth to their son, Hersh, and wrote a weekly column for the Japan Times called "On Your Mind," dealing with issues of expatriate adjustment to living overseas.
"This was one of the most satisfying, creative and challenging times of my life," she says. …

So many over the years, but think I'll go old-school. A couple that stood out in 1976 when I was a little kid...on MNF, the Niners destroyed the LA Rams 16-0, the OGs, the GOLD RUSH, sacked James Harris 10 times, it was before they kept individual sack stats but my man Cedrick Hardman must've had 8 of those sacks. And also in '76, Delvin Williams rushed for about 200 yds vs. the ST LOUIS Cardinals.
EDIT: Found a link to 49ers Access that talks about that 1976 MNF game vs. Rams and shows some footage (starts at the 4:38 mark)...and in the clip they said Tommy Hart had 6 of the sacks, but just remember Cedrick doing lots of damage, too.

LOS ANGELES — After noteworthy stints as a druggie porn star in "Boogie Nights," a psychotic beau in "Fear" and a master heist man in "The Italian Job," Mark Wahlberg isn't exactly known for churning out family-friendly fare. But that didn't stop Disney from calling the 34-year-old actor to star in its new underdog biopic "Invincible," slated for release next year.
The film, powered by the same production team that did two other Disney feel-good sports hits, "The Rookie" and "Miracle," tracks the real-life story of Vince Papale (Wahlberg), a Philadelphia Eagles fan who beats the odds by living out every fan's fantasy and earning a walk-on spot on his NFL hometown team in 1976.
"This guy is a hero," Wahlberg said of his character at the "Four Brothers" DVD release party, thrown in conjunction with a charity basketball event benefiting his Youth Foundation. "He's what every person who ever aspired to play in the NFL or professional sports wants to be."
Papale was a down-on-his-luck 30-year-old substitute teacher and part-time bartender when he made the Eagles roster, after first-year head coach Dick Vermeil, played by Greg Kinnear ("As Good as It Gets"), invited fans to battle it out for an open spot. He became the oldest NFL rookie to play without any prior college football experience. He ended up playing on the team for three seasons.
"The guy became the heart and soul of the team and uplifted the whole city," Wahlberg said. "[Papale] is the real Rocky Balboa of Philadelphia, and he's an amazing guy, an amazing father and an amazing son. He has all the heart in the world."
To get into gridiron shape for the part, the actor was pushed into an extensive training regime to slim down after packing on the pounds for his last role, as a cop in Martin Scorsese's upcoming "The Departed." That film, slated to hit theaters in August, boasts an all-star cast including Leonardo DiCaprio as a young undercover officer, managed by Wahlberg, who's assigned to gain access to a Boston mob ring run by Jack Nicholson's gangland chief. Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin and Martin Sheen round out the ensemble.
Meanwhile, filming for "Invincible," which will be the directorial debut of "The Fast and the Furious" cinematographer Ericson Core, has wrapped in Philadelphia. It is expected to hit theaters in the fall.
"I am not wanting to play any other sports right now," Wahlberg joked. "Just a little bit of golf, but that's it."
The actor should have some time to practice his golf swing, since he plans to keep his schedule fairly light this year. That is, until summer rolls around, when production is anticipated to begin on "The Brazilian Job," the sequel to the 2003 blockbuster hit "The Italian Job." Wahlberg is expected to reprise his role as mastermind Charlie Croker, and his crew of thieves — including Charlize Theron, Mos Def, Seth Green and Jason Statham — is also expected to return. F. Gary Gray, who directed the first installment, has been approached to helm the sequel, and all the cast is waiting on right now is the script, Wahlberg says.
"A lot of movie sequels don't live up to the original, so we want to make it as good, or better, and we're all patient," he said.
Wahlberg added that he is looking to spend more time with his daughter, Ella Rae, and isn't opposed to taking more calculated risks about the projects he takes on.
"I'm only making movies now that I would want to see or that I think people would want to see me in," he said. "I've done the work with great directors, so now I want to do what the people want to see."

Recent news that the government of Ontario plans to grant $263 million to assist video game publishing giant Ubisoft in the creation of a game development studio in Toronto has generated a good bit of controversy.
Supporters maintain that Ontario is investing in job creation while critics see a government handout to a company that is profitable, foreign and in the business of creating violent games.
But Brad D. of ExGamer.net looks at the deal from the game addiction perspective. In last week's podcast, Brad comments on the new marriage between Ubisoft game makers and Ontario bureaucrats:
The government of Ontario has just made a massive investment in the firm Ubisoft… When we see massive infusion of cash, let's say in… casinos, we always see that matched with public education programs around the potential dangers of excessive gambling…
When I see a quarter-billion dollars being invested by the government in the video game industry, it raises a couple of eyebrows. While I'm thrilled to see jobs in any industry that will be high-paid and lasting, I am concerned that the government is not matching that with some kind of investment in education on the risks of excessive usage.

Kerber gets a birthday wish, advances in Australia
MELBOURNE, Australia Angelique Kerber survived some nervous moments before fending off American teenager Madison Keys in the third round of the Australian Open, then got to blow out the candles on a cake to celebrate her 25th birthday.
Fifth-seeded Kerber won 6-2, 7-5 on Friday to move into the fourth round, further than she's gone in six trips to the Australian Open.
Local organizers brought Kerber a cake onto the court immediately after the match and the crowd at Rod Laver Arena sang "Happy Birthday." She blew out the candles and said thank you to the crowd and to 17-year-old Keys.
"Madison is a great young player and it was very tough," said Kerber, a semifinalist last year at Wimbledon. "So happy I won today on my birthday!"
Kerber will next play No. 19 Ekaterina Makarova of Russia, who advanced after a tough 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-4 win over 2007 Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli.
In the fourth round last year, Makarova beat Serena Williams and was the first of only four women to beat the powerful American in 2012. Kerber was the last.
Fourth-seeded Angieszka Radwanska, meanwhile, won her 12th match in a row with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Britain's Heather Watson on the second of the show courts at Melbourne Park.
"I'm extremely happy to be playing my best tennis from the beginning of the year," said Radwanska, who won tournaments in Auckland and Sydney before coming to Melbourne. "Hopefully I'll play on the same level the rest of the tournament."
She'll next play 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic, who beat Jelena Jankovic 7-5, 6-3 in a matchup featuring two Serbians who were both former top-ranked players.
Ivanovic surged to a 5-2 lead in the first set but lost the next three games. The 13th-ranked Ivanovic broke Jankovic to pull ahead 6-5 and won the first set with an ace.
The 25-year old Ivanovic had an easier time in the second set, wrapping it up on her second match point.
Sixth-seeded Li Na advanced 6-4, 6-1 over 27th-seeded Sorana Cirstea of Romania to a fourth-round match with No. 18 Julia Goerges, who Zheng Jie 6-3, 1-6, 7-5 .
Li won the 2011 French Open just a few months after reaching at the Australian Open.
After soaring to 106 degrees on day four, the temperature dropped into the mid-70s on Friday, and light rain briefly interrupted play on some courts.
Roger Federer has won four Australian Open titles among his 17 majors, and is ordinarily one of the most popular athletes in Australia.
The only problem is this: His 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Nikolay Davydenko on Thursday night set Federer on course for a third-round match against Bernard Tomic, the last remaining Australian in the men's or women's draws.
The 20-year-old Tomic beat German qualifier Daniel Brands 6-7 (4), 7-5, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (8) in the last afternoon match on the center court at Melbourne Park, keeping his cool on a long, searing day.
Federer praised Tomic's play for the crowd, and later said he won't mind for whom or how loud fans are cheering Saturday.
"I don't think it matters whether he's the last Australian or 10 more," Federer said. "There's always excitement about Aussies playing here. I played him here last year. The crowd was great. I expect something similar. If it's not, if it's totally for him, that's fine, too. I'm always excited when the crowd gets into it."
The day-time temperature got progressively hotter until late afternoon, meaning top-ranked Victoria Azarenka had it slightly easier in her second-round match - a 6-1, 6-0 win over Eleni Daniilidou, Greece - than third-ranked Serena Williams did in the next match on Rod Laver Arena, a 6-2, 6-0 win over Garbine Muguruza of Spain.

A-ROD Suspended for 2014 Season: Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz Reduces Ban From 211 to 162 Games … Alex Rodriguez Plans to Sue in Federal Court
Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz has handed down his decision and it bans the New York Yankee's Alex Rodriguez for the entire 2014 MLB season. Horowitz' ruling actually reduced A-Rod's suspension from 211 games to 162; however, it is still the longest penalty ever for a drug violation. The 162 game ban plus any post-season games in 2014 of the 14-time All-Star and three-time Most Valuable Player is a 100% endorsement of Major League Baseball's accusations that Rodriguez scored an array of PEDs from Biogenesis.
Alex Rodriguez get hit by pitch by Ryan Dempster of Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park as the crowd boos A-ROD and then cheers after he is hit … A-ROD's a CHEATER!!!
Alex Rodriguez has been suspended for the entire 2014 season by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who handed down a 162-game ban to the New York Yankees third baseman for his involvement in Major League Baseball's Biogenesis scandal.
The suspension also includes all potential playoff games in 2014.
Horowitz's ruling upholds a good portion of the original 211-game suspension levied by MLB, which banned Rodriguez in August after concluding its investigation. Rodriguez continued playing after appealing the decision.
A-Rod vowing to take the fight to federal court.
Statement from Alex Rodriguez:
"The number of games sadly comes as no surprise, as the deck has been stacked against me from day one. This is one man's decision, that was not put before a fair and impartial jury, does not involve me having failed a single drug test, is at odds with the facts and is inconsistent with the terms of the Joint Drug Agreement and the Basic Agreement, and relies on testimony and documents that would never have been allowed in any court in the United States because they are false and wholly unreliable.
"This injustice is MLB's first step toward abolishing guaranteed contracts in the 2016 bargaining round, instituting lifetime bans for single violations of drug policy, and further insulating its corrupt investigative program from any variety of defense by accused players, or any variety of objective review. I have been clear that I did not use performance enhancing substances as alleged in the notice of discipline, or violate the Basic Agreement or the Joint Drug Agreement in any manner, and in order to prove it, I will take this fight to federal court. I am confident that when a Federal Judge reviews the entirety of the record, the hearsay testimony of a criminal whose own records demonstrate that he dealt drugs to minors, and the lack of credible evidence put forth by MLB, that the judge will find that the panel blatantly disregarded the law and facts, and will overturn the suspension. (more)
UPDATE I: MLB statement on A-Rod arbitration ruling.
"For more than five decades, the arbitration process under the Basic Agreement has been a fair and effective mechanism for resolving disputes and protecting player rights. While we believe the original 211-game suspension was appropriate, we respect the decision rendered by the panel and will focus on our continuing efforts on eliminating performance-enhancing substances from our game."

BOSTON RED SOX WIN WORLD SERIES … Wins Game Six over St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 and Clinch WS at Fenway for first time in 95 Years … David Ortiz Wins MVP
The Boston Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6 to 1 in game six of the World Series. It is the first time in 95 years that the Red Sox have won a World Series clinching game in the friendly confines of Fenway Park since 1918 … 95 years!!!
Boston Red Sox proved too "BOSTON STRONG" For Cardinals.
The Cardinals were chicken tonight in walking Boston's amazing DH and future Hall of Famer David "Big Papi" Ortiz four times, 3 intentionally. However, that did not stop some unlikely heroes to step up to the plate and deliver. Right fielder Shane Victorino did not have a hit coming into tonight's game and then went 2 for 3 with 4 rbi's, including a 3 run double in the 3rd inning that put the Sox ahead 3-0. Then SS Stephen Drew who had only one hit, delivered a solo home run putting the Sox up 4-0. However, the two stand outs of the 2013 World Series were DH/1st David Ortiz who batted an amazing .688 and starting pitcher John Lester who won two games and gave up only 2 runs.
UPDATE I: Red Sox win World Series with Game 6 victory over Cardinals.
The Red Sox, defeated the Cardinals 6-1 on Wednesday to win their eighth World Series title and cap a wicked good worst-to-first season that delighted a city dealing with the aftermath of the deadly bombings at its signature marathon in April.
Shane Victorino drove in four runs with a bases-loaded double in the third and an RBI single in the fourth as Boston took the Series four games to two.
Leading hitter for the Red Sox, David Ortiz, walked four times — three times intentionally — and scored two runs.
A resurgent John Lackey pitched six strong innings before fading in the seventh and leaving with the bases loaded with a 6-1 lead. But reliever Junichi Tazawa got out Allen Craig to blunt the Cardinals' comeback attempt.
Big Papi, the man who epitomized the grit, determination and will to stay "Boston" strong for the good folks of Boston and helped them overcome the heinous terror attack at the Boston Marathon earlier this year, has been a cult hero in Boston and New England for years. The talented, joking, always smiling and now we learn, rather good 1st baseman has been a team leader for years and is the only remaining player since the Red Sox 2004 World Series victory. However, Ortiz went even beyond even that when he proudly and defiantly stood up to terrorism … "This is Our F*cking City and No One is Going to Dictate Our Freedom… Stay Strong!"

Fan Killed after 65-foot Fall at Turner Field in Atlanta During Braves-Phillies Game
A fan has died at Turner Field in Atlanta, GA as he fell 65 feet to his death during last nights Braves – Phillies game. The incident occurred at approximately 8:55 PM. Atlanta Police spokesman John Chafee stated, "It appears that the male fell from an upper-level platform to a secured lot below." The man was rushed to Atlanta Medical Center where he later died from his injuries. Authorities do not believe this was a case of foul play, it appears to have been accidental. An investigation continues.
Chafee said the fall occurred on the stadium's back side. He said witnesses described the fall as accidental, but that police were not releasing other details of what they said.
He said he did not know if wet conditions or alcohol were factors.
According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, the man has been identified as 29 year old Ronald Homer of Conyers, GA.
A man died after he fell about 65 feet from an upper level of Atlanta's Turner Field during a Braves-Phillies game Monday, police said.
The man fell shortly before 8:55 p.m at the stadium and landed in a secured parking lot.
Atlanta police said the fall appeared to be accidental and added it was too early to tell if alcohol played a factor.
In 2008, Justin Hayes fell 150 feet to his death during an Atlanta Braves & NY Mets game.

NY Yankees A-ROD Booed in Chicago During First Plate Appearance Following MLB's PED Suspension
Welcome back Alex Rodriquez … CHEATER!!!
The Chicago White Sox fans booed Alex Rodriquez unmercifully last night in Chicago in his first plate appearance with the Yankees since the MLB suspended him today for 211 games for PED use. Rodriquez said he would appeal the suspension. All I can say is A-ROD thinks he was booed last night, wait until he takes his first at bat back in Yankee Stadium. He is going to hear more than just Bronx cheers. Yankee fans are going to boo him like has not been heard in years.
Alex Rodriguez stepped up to the plate greeted by a standing boo-vation and blooped a single in his first at-bat of the season.
Hours after Major League Baseball suspended the New York Yankees star through the 2014 season in the Biogenesis drug case, Chicago White Sox fans got their say Monday night.
And, boy, did they let him hear it.
They jeered him during pregame warmups and introductions, and they really tore into him when he walked to the batter's box leading off the second inning.

Big Papi David Ortiz Says What All of Boston Was Thinking at Today's Red Sox-Royals MLB Game … "This is Our F*cking City and No One is Going to Dictate Our Freedom… Stay Strong!" (Update: FCC Blesses F-Bomb)
Today at Fenway Park on Yawkey Way, the emotional pre-game ceremonies paid tribute to the victims of last Monday's Boston Marathon. They honored the first responders, the paramedics, firemen, the marathon volunteers, the Boston and Watertown police, the FBI and other federal agencies that took part in the bombing investigation, Gov. Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. Boston and the surrounding communities have been rocked over the past couple of days since the cowardly, terror acts of two terrorists, Dzhokar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Yesterday's Red Sox game was actually canceled not due to rain or snow, but because of the manhunt for suspect #2, Dzhokar Tsarnaev. However, all that ended last night in Watertown, MA as Dzhokar was captured alive.
The team replaced the legendary stitching of Red Sox across the front of their jersey's with "Boston".
Today's Red Sox game was a celebration of getting back to normalcy, remembering those innocent people who were senselessly murdered and honoring the heroes who ran toward the bomb blasts to help the 100′s of individuals who were seriously injured. To thank the hard work of the local, state and federal authorities who in less than a week captured one terror bombing suspect alive and sent the other one to Hell. However, to know Boston and it's people's want to show that terrorist acts will never win, Big Papi's inappropriate comments may have been the most appropriate comment to make. To the resounding roar of cheers David Ortiz addressed those in attendance at Fenway Park, to Boston and all of the Bay State … "This is Our F*cking City and No One is Going to Dictate Our Freedom… Stay Strong!"
Big Papi, David Ortiz's full comments:
"All right," he said. "All right, Boston."
"This jersey that we wear today," he said, "it doesn't say Red Sox. It says Boston. We want to thank you Mayor [Tom] Menino, Gov. [Deval] Patrick, the whole police department for the great job they did this past week.
"This is our f*cking city and nobody is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong."
Way to go Big Papi. I can here Joey and Bobby in the North End responding to Ortiz's words, "F'n A, F'n A!!!" In the end, the Sox gave the people of Beantown a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Check out the UK Daily Mail for many pics of the day's pregame ceremonies celebrating the victims and the heroes of the Boston Marathon bombings and the terrorist subsequent being taken down and capture.
UPDATE I: The FCC blesses David Ortiz's "F-Bomb". Finally, some common sense from a government department. As we had stated earlier, never has the an inappropriate word ever been more appropriate for the situation. The only thing missing would have been for Big Papi to say, … and its our F*cking Country too!" FCC, with FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski tweeting his blessing from the government agency's official Twitter account.

Terrorism Loses at the Boston Marathon … New York Yankees Play Sweet Caroline (a Boston Red Sox Tradition) at Yankee Stadium Standing United
For those, foreign or domestic, terrorists that would ever thing your cowardly acts can change this great country we call the "UNITED" States … you lose!!! Following the doubling bombing that took place at the finish line of the Boston Marathon where three people were killed and over 170 injured, many sat back in disbelief as to how this could happen. Sadly, there is always EVIL in the world, but the following may be even more shocking. I say this with some levity as being a live long Boston Red Sox fan and having spent many a day and night at Yankee Stadium being harassed by Yankee fans and as we know them, the Evil Empire, today I give them many KUDOS.
Its one thing for 'Sweet Caroline" to be played in tribute to Boston in baseball parks across America, but NYC and the hated rivals, the NY Yankees? That is correct terrorists, that's what you accomplished with your cowardly acts. YOU DID THE IMPOSSIBLE … you brought NYC and Boston together as one. Last night between innings of the game, the NY Yankees played "SWEET CAROLINE", a tradition at every Red Sox home game, Diamond's classic Sweet Caroline is played on the ballpark's speakers before the bottom of the 8th inning. You would actually have to witness in live, see video here, to truly appreciate the experience at Fenway. Who would have ever thought? Probably the greatest sports rivals in professional baseball and the two fan bases with the most dislike toward one another come together as one against the evils of terrorism. TERRORISTS, YOU LOSE … you have made us stronger, united and more resolved, not weaker or afraid. Never in my lifetime did I ever think 'Sweet Caroline' would ever be played in Yankee Stadium. It took an act of terrorism and people to come together against real EVIL. Thank you New York, much appreciated!
Much like after the horrendous act of terrorism on 9-11, following the Boston Marathon bombing, we are all Bostonians today. Hey cowards, You attack one of us, you attack all of us!

International Diplomacy … Massive Brawl Breaks Out During World Baseball Classic Between Canada and Mexico
International Base Brawl …
So much for these games don't matter as a brawl broke out during the World Baseball Classic between Canada and Mexico. Hardly two teams one would think would get into a bench clearing brawl, but the game got a bit chippy. There is nothing like a bunt single in the 9th inning when you are up by 6 to get the Latin American blood boiling. The result, a subsequent throwing at a batter and a bench clearing melee. How many GM's and MLB owners must have had their hearts in their mouth when they saw this happened fearing an injury of one of their key players or superstars. If more of this happens, look for MLB to restrict players from taking part in the World Baseball Classic.
The seven ejected players … Team Mexico's Arnold Leon, Oliver Perez, Eduardo Arredondo, Andrew Albers and Alfredo Aceves and Canada's Pete Orr, Rene Tosoni and Jay Johnson. The players will not face discipline beyond the ejections, according to a statement released by the World Baseball Classic, Inc.
From the Yard Barker:
In a chippy game that had previously involved a late takeout slide and a collision at home plate, Canadian Chris Robinson bunted to lead off the ninth inning with Canada holding a 9-3 lead. Mexico pitcher Arnold Leon responded by throwing at Rene Tosoni and missing as both teams were warned by the umpire. Then, Leon hit Tosoni on the next pitch and the benches emptied.
Red Sox pitcher Alfredo Aceves was heavily involved in the fray, seen wrestling with Tyson Gillies and appearing to suffer a blow to the head. Aceves' Red Sox teammates were reported to have cheered at the sight of their pitcher fighting.

Another Off Teleprompter Moment, Talk About Out of Touch … President Barack Obama Booed After Thanking Boston & Red Sox Nation For Kevin Youkilis, "I'm just saying, he's going to have to change the color of his socks" (UPDATE: WH Press Sec. Tries to Say Audiance not Booing, Saying 'Yoooook')
Don't look now but it appears that Barack Obama went off the teleprompter again, the result … being booed at a Boston fundraiser.
How ignorant could one individual possibly be? President Barack Obama in his less than infinite wisdom was booed at a fund raiser at Symphony Hall when he mocked the crowd by thanking them for former Boston Red Sox 3rd baseman Kevin Youkilis. Brilliant Barack. Youkilis, a Red Sox Nation fan favorite and one the the forever Red Sox heroes that brought Boston and New England a World Series Championship after 86 years, finally breaking the "curse of the Bambino". Youks was traded following Sunday's baseball game from the Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox leaving only one player left from the 2004 red Sox world champs. Thus, the Ignoramus in Chief thought it cute the maje a joke of it. Dude, let me make one thing perfectly clear, the Red Sox and their fan base take baseball seriously as compared to you and your so-called being a White Sox fan.
Being booed was probably the last thing President Barack Obama expected from the crowd at a Symphony Hall fundraiser Monday night, but that happened when the president "thanked" Boston for Kevin Youkilis, who was just traded to the Chicago White Sox.
"I'm just saying, he's going to have to change the color of his socks," the president said laughing.
This misguided fool actually thought he would not receive boos by his comments. Unreal, who is the one who is out of touch Barack Obama? I guess its good for Obama that he was not running for President in 1920 after Babe Ruth had been traded from the red Sox to the Yankees. I can only imagine the ignorant comment he would have made.
Keep it up Barack and you just may find a way to lose the state of Massachusetts and New England (New Hampshire) while you are at it with ignorant comments regarding Red Sox Nation where baseball is a religion.
UPDATE I: This Administration is nothing more than a bunch of pathetic liars.These idiots cannot even tell the truth when Obama is plainly booed after making a bad joke regarding beloved and recently traded Ken Youkilis. Today White House Press Secretary Jay Carney tried top tell reporters that Obama was not booed, they were saying "YOOOK".
"There has been some really silly reporting about the president's remarks regarding Kevin Youkilis last night. It is highly commendable in my view as a Red Sox fan that the president has always refused to pander on sports," said Carney. "He is a White Sox fan, he owns his fandom of the White Sox. He proved that again last night."
"Anyone who knows Boston, knows the Red Sox and anyone who was in that room last night knows that the preponderance of people shouting in response to what the president said about Kevin Youkilis were saying 'Yoooook' and not 'Booo,' for God's sake," Carney said.
Dude, let me first start by saying this … as a life long Red Sox fan, I think I know the difference between a "BOO" and a YOOOK". You Jay Carney, a hired Obama liar would not. Stick to lying about politics. How sad is it that this Administration cannot even tell the truth when it comes to something as simple as Obama telling a bad joke to the wrong crowd.
STRIKE I: Watch the following two videos and you can plainly see the difference between a "BOO" and a "YOOOK". In the above video you can hear the crowd boo Obama. In the video below, you can hear the distinct difference of "YOOOOK".
Hear the crowd start to yell "Yoook" at the 55 second mark
STRIKE II: When Obama actually made the foolish remarks in the above, the egg on his face goof actually says at the 28 second mark, "I didn't think I would get any boos outta here …" Um, Jay … Obama actually admitted he was booed.
STRIKE III: As reported at the Jawa Report, the actual transcript of the event had the audience booing.
I also want to acknowledge former Governor Michael Dukakis, who is here, and his lovely wife Kitty. (Applause.) And finally, Bos, I just want to say thank you for Youkilis.
AUDIENCE: Booo –
THE PRESIDENT: I'm just saying. He's going to have to change the color of his "sox." (Laughter and boos.) I didn't think I'd get any "boos" out of here, but — (laughter) — I guess I shouldn't have — I should not have brought up baseball. I understand. My mistake.
AUDICEN: Booo –

American citizens have a right to own handguns. The U.S. Supreme Court made that clear with its 2008 decision that tossed out as unconstitutional the District of Columbia's 32-year-old ban on handguns. So you can buy them, but it is probably a better idea not to.
The statistics are clear. There is a far greater chance that the handgun you buy will result in your death or that of a family member or other acquaintance than the odds you will use it in self-defense. In the past few weeks here in southeastern Connecticut it has become tragically clear what access to a gun can mean.
On Jan. 7 in Norwich, police responded to a call about a distraught armed man at an apartment in the city. Jason Razzino, 30, confronted police for several hours, refusing to come out. He shot Officer Jonathan Ley, 38, several times, leaving him seriously injured. That incident ended when Razzino fatally turned a handgun on himself.
One week ago, Feb. 24, police were again confronting a distressed man armed with a handgun, this time 52-year-old Michael Dugas in a small city park. According to police accounts he refused to surrender and, when he raised the gun, several officers fired their weapons, killing him. The shooting remains under investigation.
Then came the incident this past Tuesday when Debra Denison, 47, a woman with a history of mental illness, was found dead in a van in North Stonington along with her two grandchildren, 6-month-old Ashton Perry and his brother, Alton Perry, who turned 2 that day. Denison used a handgun to kill the boys and herself.
All five of these people would likely be alive today if they did not have access to guns.
These outcomes would not surprise those who have studied the relationship between guns and mortality.
In his 2003 study, "Homicide and Suicide Risks Associated with Firearms in the Home: A National Case-Control Study," Douglas J. Wiebe, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania, concluded that 94 percent of gun-related suicides would not occur under the same circumstances had no gun been present.
In the late 1990s, researchers at the Center for Injury Control at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, Atlanta, set out to determine the frequency with which guns in the home are used to injure or kill in self-defense, compared with the number of times such weapons are involved in unintentional injury, suicide attempt, criminal assault or homicide. Over an 18-month period they looked at the records for all fatal and nonfatal shootings in Memphis, Tenn., Seattle, Wash. and Galveston, Texas.
Out of 626 shootings, researchers were able to determine 438 were assaults or homicides, 118 attempted or completed suicides and 54 accidental shootings. Thirteen shootings resulted from an act of self-defense, three of those by police officers. In other words, for every time a gun in the home was used in self-defense or other legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or successful suicides.
The study's conclusion was straight forward: "Guns kept in homes are more likely to be involved in a fatal or nonfatal accident shooting, criminal assault, or suicide attempt than to be used to injure or kill in self-defense."
A study by the Harvard Injury Control Research Center looked into accidental shootings, using statistics gathered by the Centers for Disease Control from 2003-2006. The accidental shootings were roughly half self-inflicted, half inflicted by someone else. In other-inflicted shooting deaths, the shootings were overwhelmingly by young people (81 percent under age 25), and were often friends (43 percent) or family (47 percent), with brothers the most common family shooter.
Parents assure researchers that they safely keep their guns away from children, but among gun-owning parents who reported that their children had never handled their firearm at home, 22 percent of the children, when questioned separately and confidentially, said that they had handled the gun. And of youths who commit suicide, 82 percent get the firearm from their home, according to The National Violent Injury Statistics System.
We might have more information, but in the mid-1990s Congress, reacting to lobbying by the National Rifle Association, ordered the Centers for Disease Control not to conduct any further studies that "may be used to advocate or promote gun control." Incredible. But before the gun-lobby shut down research, the CDC concluded that having a gun in the house meant those living there were 300 percent more likely to die from firearm homicide or suicide than people living in houses where no guns were kept.
No wonder the NRA wanted the research stopped.

City thanks its workers for their service
The Mayor & City Council (M&CC) yesterday publicly thanked workers from drainage, public and environmental services, public health department, nurses of the maternal and child welfare section, day care services, garbage collection and disposal and the city sluices for their tireless work in providing vital municipal services to residents of local communities.
According to a release, the M&CC said the sluice attendants in particular have to toil through the nights while sanitation and drainage workers have to ensure that the city's waterways are kept clear and the garbage from homes are removed and properly disposed. Day care attendants spend time caring for the young ones while their parents work in the public and private sector.
The release said while it is true that the personnel section sometimes found it difficult to locate and recruit suitable individuals who are willing to do some of the jobs done by the council, the workers did their best.
It said that many of the employees carried out their duties in very harsh working conditions in the fields and offices. The council said it is has been calling for specific and specialised training programmes that would equip workers with the knowledge and skills to provide better services to citizens.

Disney buys Lucasfilm
So, what are the opinions here? I can see good and bad.
-obviously, more movies will get made. And I've been of the opinion for years that George Lucas is an absolute moron (see. 1997 extended editions, Jar Jar Binks) so hopefully someone decent will get put in charge and make a really good movie. You can say what you want about it being Disney, but haven't they made some really stellar movies with the Marvel license?
-the product will get watered down, big time. New movies will be great, but new movies every two or three years will get real old fast.
-my biggest problem is the merchandising. There was already so much Star Wars crap out there, but now there's just going to be overload. Cross promotion stuff is especially going to make me sick. I'm prepared to see a LOT of Mickey Mouse dressed as Han Solo, Donald Duck as Darth Vader, and Goofy with a lightsaber. That cow is going to get MILKED.

With more than six months until construction starts, the state is working to buy one final property needed for a new Interstate 65 exit in Greenwood.
The interchange project required properties from 15 landowners near Worthsville Road and I-65, where a new entrance to the city is planned. Over the past year, the state has purchased 14 of those properties after filing lawsuits and negotiating with landowners.
Now, one property is left, and appraisals are due back to the court by Aug. 11 — one of the final steps in eminent domain, a court process the government uses to force owners to sell their land for public projects.
With most of the properties purchased, the Indiana Department of Transportation plans to start construction on the $22 million interchange in the spring.
Demolition at the properties, which included three homes and multiple barns, could begin this fall after the state hires a contractor, INDOT spokesman Will Wingfield said.
Construction was previously pushed back a year due to delays in buying the properties. The city of Greenwood is paying for $11 million of the project, and the state is paying for $11 million or more. The city plans to make the area around the interchange a new entrance into Greenwood, with high-end homes and offices.
In 2013, the state began contacting landowners whose property was needed for the interchange project. The state filed eminent domain lawsuits against the property owners who did not want to sell. If a judge decides a property is necessary for state use, then landowners are ordered to sell through the eminent domain process for a price determined by court-appointed appraisers.
Earlier this year, Greenwood resident Don Devore and an Illinois-based group were among five property owners who hadn't agreed to sell their land and who delayed construction from starting.
Devore accepted a deal this month, leaving only the group from Illinois. Owners Michael Wachstetter, Norman Wachstetter and Marcy Taylor are holding out on selling. The state has tried to negotiate with them to buy four sections of the 38 acres they own in Greenwood, offering $307,100 for the land. The owners and attorney Tom Vander Luitgaren could not be reached for comment.
They haven't accepted the offer. In April, the group filed a document in a Johnson County court, saying that the state doesn't have jurisdiction over the case because it didn't properly notify each owner about the lawsuit and also didn't explain how buying chunks of their land is beneficial. A judge ordered appraisers to look at the land, proceeding with the eminent domain process.
The court-appointed appraisers are scheduled to report back soon with an estimate for how much the state has to pay for the acreage. If the owners don't agree to the appraised price, the case could go to a jury trial.
Devore ended his eminent domain case this month by accepting an offer of $150,000 for nearly 5 acres along Worthsville Road, where he keeps cattle. As part of the agreement, the state is building Devore a new driveway so he can continue to access the approximately 30 acres of land he still owns near the site of the future interchange, attorney Dustin Huddleston said.
The state previously bought Devore's home, in addition to the 5 acres it is buying now. In 2013, Devore accepted a purchase price of $150,975 for the house and detached garage. The interchange was designed to run directly through the Devore property, forcing him to give up his family's farm of more than 100 years.

"Cayambe - A town in the middle of the world" Cayambe by tejanasueca
Cayambe Travel Guide: 27 reviews and 156 photos
The city of Cayambe, situated 1.5hrs northeast of Quito, got its name from the Volcano that towers over it (at 5790m). The volcano Cayambe, which essentially is situated right on the equator, is the third highest in Ecuador, but it is the most dangerous to climb as the routs to the top are steep. The people in the city mostly use the volcano to predict the weather: if it's a clear day and the volcano has a lot of snow, it will be a cold night. If the volcano is covered in clouds (which is the most common), the climate will be milder.
The city of Cayambe is a medium size city and has most things you need to live comfortably(except, of course, large shoe sizes... you might have to go to Quito for that!). The city is charming and while it has some tourist activities (the closest most tourists come to Cayambe is when they pass by 10km west of it on their way to Otavalo) and you see one or antoher tourist, there are not that many gringos and therefore the city feels more authentic Ecuadorian (which is unusual in this country!). Most non-ecuadoreans you will see will either be volunteers working in the nearby villages, or Peace Corps doing their three month training. Of course, then you also have the german family that owns and runs a small café close to the plaza (look at "restaurant tips"). However, don´t let this less touristy look fool you, there are plenty of things to do in the area around Cayambe, including incredible mountain lakes and indigenous ruins.
The countryside area is surrounded by flower plantations and farms. The area is actually one of the biggest producers of flowers in the world, with its biggest export market being the USA. Because of the manual labor needed to run the platations, the population in the area is constantly expanding. While the flower plants have helped some families to improve their standard of living, it has also negatively affected the farming in the area and the population increase puts high pressure on such things like schools and health care. The long hours people put in at the flower plantations also affect the time they have left over to look after their children, and to pay for child care is way too expensive for most. Many of the people working in the flower plants live in the nearby town of Tabacundo or in the small communities surrounding it.
A couple of facts about Cayambe
The biggest festival in Cayambe is San Pedro, a festivale with ancient roots that celebrates the summer solstice in June. If you want to experience traditional music, dance, and colorful costums, this is the place to be.
Cayambe, is the main access point for the Cayambe-Coca Ecological Reserve.
- Pros:Not too touristy...
- Cons:A little bit out of the way
- In a nutshell:A regular Ecuadorian highland town

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Michael Roth allowed two hits in seven innings and defending national champion South Carolina opened the NCAA tournament with a 2-1 victory over Georgia Southern on Friday night.
The Gamecocks (46-14) take on Stetson in a winner's bracket game on Saturday. The Eagles (36-25) will face North Carolina State in an elimination game.
Roth was a star in last year's College World Series run with a complete game win over Clemson and a strong effort in the clinching victory against UCLA. He proved just as good this time against Georgia Southern and star outfielder Victor Roache, who led the country with 30 homers this season.
Roth (12-3) gave up a single to Scooter Williams in the third and one to Shawn Payne in the sixth. Roache was 0 for 3 and struck out looking to end the game.
Matt Price got the final five outs for his 16th save.

Philosophy of the Ribbon
Fanny Littmarck | November 1, 2013
Over the past few years, Microsoft® has introduced updates to the user interface (UI) for its Office programs. Microsoft® Office 2013 is all about being touch-screen friendly, and Microsoft® Office 2007 brought the Ribbon interface. The Microsoft® Ribbon was designed to be easier to use than the nested drop-down menus of yore. These days, it's what we're used to seeing when working with their tools — and we've come to appreciate the ease-of-use, guidance, and clear workflow overview it provides. […]

The COMSOL Conference 2013 Rotterdam came to an end last Friday. After dinner on the second day, six contributions were awarded for their outstanding work: three in the Best Paper category and three in the Best Poster category. The moderator of the awards ceremony — Belgian engineer, stand-up comedian, and COMSOL user — Filip Van den Abeele compared COMSOL Multiphysics to a Swiss Army Knife. After looking at the diversity of subjects that is displayed in the award winning papers […]

In our previous post on Meshing Considerations for Linear Static Problems, we found that, in the limit of mesh refinement, the solution to the finite element model would converge toward the true solution. We also saw that adaptive mesh refinement could be used to generate a mesh that would have smaller elements in regions where the error was higher, rather than simply using smaller elements everywhere in the model. In this post, we will examine a couple of common pitfalls […]

After having excellent poster and oral presentation sessions at the COMSOL Conference 2013 Bangalore, winners for the top papers and posters were announced during the award ceremony. Selecting the best ones was indeed the toughest decision that the Program Committee had to make. It was observed that the presenters had conducted rigorous analyses using COMSOL Multiphysics, and many of them also had experimental validation for their work. Now I would like to congratulate the winners once more, and allow you […]

Microelectromechanical systems, also referred to as MEMS, involve very small devices, such as actuators, sensors, and resonators for instance. Inherent to the design of these devices is the coupling of many physics. Therefore, if you are an engineer who designs MEMS devices, you are likely familiar with multiphysics simulation software. If not, you can learn how to model these devices in our upcoming free webinar.
Nandita Roche | October 30, 2013
This year, over 260 multiphysics enthusiasts joined us for the COMSOL Conference 2013 Bangalore. While we did see some familiar faces, it was exciting to see plenty of new users at the event. We were able to capture some of the good moments on camera, and would like to share a selection of the photos with you here on the blog.

Microfluidic devices are so small that the micropumps and micromixers that control and mix the fluid inside the device cannot involve any moving components. Instead, they must take advantage of electroosmotic flow. Here, I will describe the concept of electroosmosis and the electrical double layer (EDL), and how to model these in COMSOL, walking you through two example models.

Households and industries alike depend on reliable electrical power. To serve the diverse power needs of end users and consumers, the electrical grid is undergoing a major overhaul to upgrade a technology that is over 100 years old. The new infrastructure — the smart grid — is being developed for reliable, economic, and environmentally friendly electrical systems. A great example of equipment for the smart grid comes from ABB. Along with many other products, ABB has introduced the world's fastest […]

Fabulous little page with brilliant photos. I would love to visit some more of the Ukraine.
A great start. And in some way a really magic city. At my visit last autumn I got the impression that the Ukrainians really started to understand which treasure they have. I come back for the jubilee - maybe a few weeks before the festivities.
Awesome intro photo Olya! I really would love to visit here.

July 11, 2012 - The first over the counter rapid HIV test will soon be available for use at home. The US Food and Drug Administration gave its approval Tuesday. The OraQuick In Home HIV Test is a self-administered kit that detects the presence of the virus that causes AIDS. To use the kit, participants swab the upper and lower gums of their mouth, then place the sample into a developer vial. The results are available within 20 to 40 minutes. A positive result does not mean one is infected, but additional testing should be done at a medical facility. The rapid test kit is expected to be available in stores and online in early October.
Also, a new study finds transferring just one single embryo during in in-vitro fertilization greatly reduces the risk of newborn death. Researchers looked at more than 50,000 IVF births. They found the chances of having a baby that was stillborn, or did not survive the first month was 53 percent greater if two embryos were transferred instead of one.

The Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, a nonpartisan state agency, was created with a view to developing recommendations which enable women to make the maximum contribution to society. The Commission provides information on issues that affect the lives of women and girls including the areas of gender equity in the media; educational needs of women and girls; gender in the workplace and employment; health and safety of women and girls; and women in the military, women veterans, and military families.

This year, California's Commission on the Status of Women and Girls celebrates 50 years of substantial impact on state policy affecting gender equity; a half century of progress at home, in the workplace, and in leadership for the state's women and girls.
Ever since the 1965 establishment of the Commission, California has remained at the forefront in achieving tremendous gains in equity, education, and employment for women and girls. This impact is sustained through the continued vision and commitment of California's policy makers, educators, advocates, researchers, and its partners at state, county, and city levels. The Commission is proud to be an effective leader and contributor to much of this work.
There is still a lot of work to be done. Despite significant gains, gender equity remains elusive for many women and girls. The Commission, an independent state agency, is uniquely positioned to help identify and initiate coordinated responses to issues that hinder the success of our women and girls. Its strong leadership includes statutory, legislative, and public member appointees, as well as a new executive director, who are each real catalysts for change—change that will help achieve gender equity in California, and beyond.
To launch our focus on the future we are releasing this STAT Sheet to benchmark how far we have come and provide a clear direction for action in future years.
In the years to come, the Commission will move forward through public hearings and educational forums, research, collaboration, and outreach with other state and local agencies, women's organizations, businesses, and the general public to meet achievable goals for California's women and girls. Our immediate goals include growing the number of women and girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education; expanding the number of women and girls in the labor force increasing women veterans' awareness and usage of earned state and federal benefits. A first task is to build a readily available, comprehensive database of California policies, programs, state and federal laws, issue information, and other resources relevant to women and girls.
We sincerely thank our research partners at the State Library's Research Bureau and Mount Saint Mary's University for providing us with much of the data for this first STAT Sheet. We salute the significant efforts of our past Commissioners, and pledge that the Commission will carry on their work to increase equity, access, and justice for women and girls in California.
We look forward to celebrating an even greater impact as we work together for California's women and girls.
