Hello everyone! My name is Joy, i'm 27 and just found out we're pregnant with #4 who is due April 8th! We we're using the NFP method but it didn't work! lol I am so excited though! Now I just have to find a way to tell the hubby!! I am looking forward to getting to know you all!!
Looks like i'll be joining you ladies!
yay!! Congratulations joy! its so nice to meet ya!
Congrats and welcome to April! How do you think your hubby will take it?
Welcome! What a nice "surprise!" I am in the process of finding out if we will have a "surprise" or not too...will know in a few days.
Congratulations! Welcome to April!
I found out last night I'm preggers with a surprise too. We "roughly" use NFP also and the only way I got pregnant this cycle was if I O'd either a week early or a week late (I'm guessing a week late). I broke the news to DH like 2 seconds after I found out...told him to take a look at what was on the bathroom counter. He seemed to take it pretty well. Hope the same happens for you.
KUP on how you tell DH and how he takes it
Welcome and congrats!! What a nice surprise!!
I think DH will take the news well. I just want to find a cute way to tell him since all my other babes I just told him I was pregnant. I'm thinking either getting a shirt for my 14 month old that says "Big Brother", or maybe getting a small cake that says "Comming April 2013" and put a little baby on it. I just want it to be memorable since this will be our last.
Welcome and congrats!!!
I think you're ideas are so lovely xxxx
I love the cake idea!
Congrats! My first was a NFP oopsie too but I've been doing NFP since I had my second successfully and we're finally actually trying now.

Drawdio is a simple electronic sound synthesizer built onto a pencil! Designed by Jay Silver, then a student in the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, the Drawdio circuit plays a musical tone with a frequency that varies based on the resistance between two points. The wire wrapped around the pencil handle is one point, and the pencil lead itself is another. When you hold Drawdio in your hand, your body becomes part of the resistive loop, and you can do all kinds of fun tricks, like draw yourself a piano and play a little tune!
The Drawdio circuit is based on the classic 555 timer chip. To save space on batteries, we're using a more modern low-power version of the 555 that will run on 3 volts, but otherwise it behaves just like a standard 555. Wired like this, the 555 operates in so-called astable mode, outputting a continuous stream of pulses from pin 3. The frequency of those pulses can be controlled by changing the values of the resistors and capacitors connected to pins 2 and 7. Since the contacts are arranged to put the user's body into the resistive loop, the frequency output by the 555 naturally varies depending on what she or he is touching. The transistor amplifies those pulses, which emerge from the speaker as audible sound.
There are lots of fun ways to use Drawdio, and the best way to get started is just experiment!
Here's a favorite trick to get you started: First, draw a big dot on a piece of paper. Then moisten the tip of your finger, on the other hand, and touch the dot while drawing a line away from it on the page. The carbon laid down on the paper forms a conductive trail that runs from the graphite in the pencil, through the line you're drawing, through the starting dot, through your finger, around through your body, and back to your other hand where it contacts the grip wire. Drawdio detects this current and plays a tone; as your line gets longer, the resistance along the conductive path increases, and the frequency drops. Jump back and forth along the line, and you can play different notes and even, with a bit of practice, entire melodies.

Productive failure in mathematical problem solving

This paper reports on a quasi-experimental study comparing a "productive failure" instructional design (Kapur in Cognition and Instruction 26(3):379–424, 2008) with a traditional "lecture and practice" instructional design for a 2-week curricular unit on rate and speed. Seventy-five, 7th-grade mathematics students from a mainstream secondary school in Singapore participated in the study. Students experienced either a traditional lecture and practice teaching cycle or a productive failure cycle, where they solved complex problems in small groups without the provision of any support or scaffolds up until a consolidation lecture by their teacher during the last lesson for the unit. Findings suggest that students from the productive failure condition produced a diversity of linked problem representations and methods for solving the problems but were ultimately unsuccessful in their efforts, be it in groups or individually. Expectedly, they reported low confidence in their solutions. Despite seemingly failing in their collective and individual problem-solving efforts, students from the productive failure condition significantly outperformed their counterparts from the lecture and practice condition on both well-structured and higher-order application problems on the post-tests. After the post-test, they also demonstrated significantly better performance in using structured-response scaffolds to solve problems on relative speed—a higher-level concept not even covered during instruction. Findings and implications of productive failure for instructional design and future research are discussed.

Terrifying and brilliant. Too close to possibility for comfort.
Margaret Atwood created a dystopian culture that's so believable it will make you look over your shoulder everytime you go out. I have so many feelings after reading this book, so many questions, so many ideas and opinions that can't be reconciled. When my high school students were assigned this story for their English course, I was curious. They usually don't finish the assigned reading, yet in this case, not only did they read it, but they also recommended it to me. I am very glad they did.
It's not often that I find a book with such a deep sense of helplessness and tragedy. The atmosphere is stuffy, like the main character, Offred, who is enclosed in a system. The first person narrative does not help as you start to identify with her: you see through her eyes and you think like she does, with her inner voice and thoughts. The changes she goes through, from completely subordinate to a system which leaves her no choice to her final hope of escape is not overtly noticeable, but she evolves and so does the plot. This is a good novel, with a frustrating ending, as we, readers, always tend to expect something good or bad, like in movies, but we are left wanting more. Maybe another author will pick up where Atwood left off.
This is an interesting concept. Something changes and soon women are second class citizens if even that. They have to be careful what they do, who they talk to and where they go. It is a world that I would never want to live in. Very good read though.
One of Atwood's best.
As a cautionary tale, Atwood's novel lacks the direct, chilling plausibility of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World. It warns against too much: heedless sex, excessive morality, chemical and nuclear pollution. All of these may be worthwhile targets, but such a future seems more complicated than dramatic. But Offred's narrative is fascinating in a way that transcends tense and time: the record of an observant soul struggling against a harsh, mysterious world.
How sad for postfeminists that one does not feel for Offred-June half as much as one did for Winston Smith, no hero either but at any rate imaginable. It seems harsh to say again of a poet's novel - so hard to put down, in part so striking - that it lacks imagination, but that, I fear, is the problem.
It's a bleak world that Margaret Atwood opens up for us in her new novel, ''The Handmaid's Tale'' - how bleak and even terrifying we will not fully realize until the story's final pages. But the sensibility through which we view this world is infinitely rich and abundant. And that's why Miss Atwood has succeeded with her anti-Utopian novel where most practitioners of this Orwellian genre have tended to fail.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 038549081X, Paperback)In the world of the near future, who will control women's bodies?
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are only valued if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now....
Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:22 -0400)
A look at the near future presents the story of Offred, a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, once the United States, an oppressive world where women are no longer allowed to read and are valued only as long as they are viable for reproduction.

I don't have a way to connect my desktop directly to the router, so I'm connecting to my laptop and using a bridged connection on the laptop to give my desktop internet access. This works when the laptop is active, but when I put the laptop to sleep, I lose the connection. Is there a way to maintain the internet connection while the laptop is in sleep mode?
No, there isn't unfortunately, the laptop has to be awake to route packets between its network interfaces.
As @wingedsubmariner notes, the laptop has to be awake to route packets.
However, if your laptop is set to an aggressive power-mode, it will actively reduce power consumption by slowing the system clock, to maximize battery-charge life:

Could someone check the above page and tell me what it is I'm missing... The page wrapper should have a grey border on the left and right sides extending the length of the content. On every page except single posts WITHOUT comments the border shows, on the above page (and all others with no comments) the wrapper is getting ended early, although this isn't apparent (to me at least) in the source for the page. However all pages validate and it's doing my head in, really need to get it sorted.
Can anyone help? It's probably something stupid I'm overlooking but it feels like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.
Thanks, Lee

Why is cross holy? It is a symbol of the crucifixion, but Jesus did not say the Cross is holy, or in any place in the Bible the cross is holy and the cross was not holy before Jesus. Who prescribed the Cross as something holy?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The term "Holy Cross" refers specifically to the cross on which Jesus died, the place where he sacrificed himself for us to redeem us from our sins, and to reconcile us to God the Father. It doesn't refer to crosses in general, and not to any representation of the cross.
It is absolutely true that crosses in general were place of torture, pain, suffering a degradation, and it would be inconceivable to consider crosses in general to be holy. However in the case of Jesus' cross, what he did on it, namely his death, was a holy event - one of the holiest events in all of history, affecting every single human being who ever lived or will live - an act of unbounded love and self-sacrifice. In essence, the holy act that took place on that cross turned it from a degrading and despicable place to one of the holiest places that ever existed. It's that sense that the term "Holy Cross" is used.
If you are asking about the use of crosses and crucifixes as a symbol. the purpose of these symbols is to remind us of the holy act that Jesus made by dying for us. In that sense the cross is a holy symbol, because it reminds us of a holy act.
If you are looking for a parallel, consider maybe the cell in which Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. I am not trying to imply thatis necessarily a holy place. However, once a site of oppression, it is now visited by many, inspired not by the acts of cruelty and oppression which the cell was designed for, but by the tenacity and perseverence that Mandela showed while locked inside.
Not all Christians would agree that the Cross is holy.

Understanding Workers' Comp: Getting employees back to workMarch 18,2013
Editor's note: John Valente is one of the leading experts in Vermont on workers' compensation. His column, Understanding Workers' Comp, will appear here each month.
A common subject matter in the news lately has been health care. Articles have focused on what has happened in the past, what is happening now and what may happen in the next few years. Every commentary on the subject seems to mention the high cost of health care. The high cost is no different when the health care is provided to someone who is injured at work. Getting an injured worker on the road to recovery can be expensive.
According to the National Council on Compensation Insurance, the costs associated with medical treatment for injured workers in Vermont continued to increase in 2011, and medical costs account for 54 percent of the total amount of benefits paid on a claim. The rising cost of medical care for employees injured at work should be a concern not only for employers but for employees as well. As system costs, such as medical costs, increase so does the premium paid by the employer, adding a further increase to the expense side of the company balance sheet.
Different stakeholders have different abilities to keep medical costs under control. The Vermont Department of Labor updates the medical fee schedule used to pay providers in workers' compensation cases. Other groups, representing labor and business, suggest legislative and different remedies. However, there are steps that any employer can take to assist getting injured employees fast, quality medical care that keeps them at work or returns them safely to work as quickly as possible.
Under Vermont's laws, the employer is entitled to direct the care of the injured worker. If the employee wishes to be treated by someone else, he or she can, but the employer has the first choice. Having a medical provider chosen by the employer is beneficial to both the employee and the employer for a number of reasons.
The provider should be generally available during hours the business is open. In the case of businesses with multiple shifts or in case of emergency, the provider should have a procedure through which the injured worker is to get immediate treatment. There should also be a plan in place that gets the provider the information from that visit quickly and a follow-up scheduled.
The provider should have credibility with the employee. The employee has the option to change providers if he or she chooses. However, a doctor who treats a business's employees with empathy and respect and does a thorough evaluation will usually be appreciated by the employee. If a doctor is disrespectful, does not listen or talks down to an injured employee, the employee will exercise his or her right to replace that doctor with a doctor of his or her choosing. More importantly, the employee will tell fellow employees about the experience, good or bad.
The provider should be invited to the workplace to review the physical plant, job stations and the job description for each station. The provider should observe the job functions actually being performed and should have the opportunity to ask questions of the employees performing the job.
The provider should also have a meeting with key personnel to discuss the availability of light duty tasks in the workplace and what options are available to keep workers at work and not have them miss time from the plant. This can be an important tool in getting an accurate diagnosis for the injury, determining causation and assessing disability. Using a medical provider who is familiar with the workplace, work stations and physical makeup of the plant gives the provider vital information for opinions on: whether the mechanism of injury is consistent with the provider's understanding of the job; whether the injured worker is capable of going back to his or her old job without missing any time from work; and any time-limited light duty that may be available on site.
If an employee opts to not continue treatment with the employer's preferred provider, or there is no preferred provider, then the employer shall have the right to require other medical examinations. After an injury and during the period of disability, if so requested by the employer, or ordered by the commissioner, the employee must submit to examination, at reasonable times and places, by a duly licensed physician or surgeon designated and paid by the employer.
The employee has the right to have a physician or surgeon designated and paid by the employee present at the examination. This right, however, does not deny the employer's physician the right to visit the injured employee at all reasonable times and under all reasonable conditions during total disability.
Employers can have an effect on rising health care costs in the workers' compensation system by choosing credible medical providers to be the first stop on their employee's road to recovery when injured in the workplace.

Life Technologies Falls After Earnings Miss Expectation
Life Technologies shares fell up to 9.1 percent Thursday in pre-market trading after the biotech giant reported second quarter earnings below expectations. In the second quarter, the company earned $95.5 million, or 52 cents per share. In the same quarter a year ago, Life Tech $110.6 million, or 58 cents per share.
In its earnings statement released before the market opened, Life Tech CEO Greg Lucier said the earnings were "lower than anticipated."
Shares of Carlsbad-based Life Tech recovered slightly when trading opened. As of 7:32 am PDT, shares were off 4.7 percent, trading at $46.14, down $2.27 so far.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 01st, 2002
Running Time: 82
Director: Jim Powers
Company: JM Productions
Cast: Keegan Sky, Misty (II), Angel Long, Shelbee Myne, Lola (I), Nikita Denise, Sierra (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Despite the paucity of spank-worthy moments, stock anyway. It's a popular and critically acclaimed (winner of AVN's Best All-Girl Series two years running) line.
Played more for over-the-top laughs than hit-the-ceiling wankability, The Violation of Nikita Denise doesn't live up to the promise of either its lesbian gangbang premise or its high voltage cast (specifically AVN Female Performer Of The Year Denise, Taylor St. Claire, Shelbee Myne and Lola; the others are lesser porn lights).
While the energy throughout the main event is wildly crazed in a professional wrestling kind of way, and there's lots of spitting, very rough sex and outrageous antics such as Denise getting pretend-raped with flag poles (she's an evil Russian U.N. delegate; the rest of the girls are the righteous reps of other countries), all of that simply doesn't translate into a hell of a lot of heat. The tell is that very little, if any, of Denise's moans and groans, sound real. And fans of the Czech beauty know what a rarity that is. She sure looks stunning in that Russian military uniform, though.

Clinger-Cohen has been a major step forward in government management
The Clinger-Cohen Act, also called the Information Technology Management Reform Act, deserves a look back over its decade of life.
The law consists of three major features: capital planning and investment control, performance-based and results-based management, and establishment of the chief information officer position.
The Office of Management and Budget has done a good job of carrying out the law. OMB officials have forcefully insisted that agencies improve their capital planning and investment control processes. But the Government Accountability Office recently faulted OMB for not analyzing IT investments on a governmentwide basis and not following up with corrective measures. Performance-based management is now a prominent feature of OMB's budget circular, and agencies scurry in step. Although making the CIO job really effective is a fuzzy mandate, all federal agencies now include the position.
Capital planning machinery, a major element of the law, is used by most agencies. But whether it works is another matter.
Performance-based management and measurement perhaps have fared better because OMB has wielded the big stick of budget control. Agencies come to heel at OMB's command, but the purpose of Clinger-Cohen was to institutionalize those provisions. Take away OMB's pressure and what would become of agencies' performance-based management?
The CIO position has had mixed success. Federal CIOs, almost all from IT backgrounds, fixate on IT management at a time when industry is saying: "It's the information, stupid, not the technology." One-third of CIOs do not report to their agency's head, as prescribed by the law. Turnover is also a problem. CIOs generally last about two years, but experienced leaders say CIOs need three to five years to make a difference.
However, CIOs do concentrate on capital planning and investment controls, enterprise architecture, strategic planning, security, and workforce planning. Yet they lack attention to records management, privacy and information dissemination all important information management concerns.
The question is this: Has Clinger-Cohen become part of the fabric of how agencies do business? Have capital planning and performance-based management become routine methods for approaching and solving problems? Will CIOs emerge as uniformly strong enterprise information management leaders who also keep the technology trains running on time? Probably not for a long time.
On balance, Clinger-Cohen has been a major step forward in government management. The law attempted to achieve some highly laudable but difficult culture-changing improvements. Everyone knows that nothing is more resistant to change than bureaucratic culture. The law was worth the effort, but one wonders if the concepts behind Clinger-Cohen have the staying power to see the job through until done.

Forget Chloe! Drew Chadwick is the one that I want. When the broad-shouldered member of Emblem3 appeared on The X Factor, I found him so douchey, I couldn't stand him. He's probably still as douchey, but it's amazing what a little scruff and a striped tee instead of his go-to tanks can do for a boy's image. Because now, he's smokin' hot. Simon Cowell, you've done good 😉
If you weren't a fan of Emblem3 before, you probably won't be after checking out their music video for "Chloe (You're The One I Want)." It's tailor-made for their teeny bopper fans and lecherous old men like myself. I kid. I'm not that old 😉
The Ray Kay-directed clip features the Huntington Beach trio fooling around in their glitzy dressing room while "beige" girls are ignored/teased by the mean girls in alternating vignettes. In the end, the less-than-popular girls get their revenge as they're the ones to join Emblem3 on stage, while those snooty bitches get turned away by the bouncers. Check out the clip below.
Just a day after FOX made the official announcement, Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio joined Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell at the judges table. The two fresh
women arrived on their first day of their new gig on time. I couldn't say the same for Cowell.
Three beautiful ladies and Simon is the one who's taking the longest to get ready. In actuality, the Brit judge kept the three ladies waiting due to traffic problems as a result of flooding caused by heavy rains in the area. The FOX reality show began its first day of filming Season 3 in Charleston, South Carolina on Tuesday May 21.
As the ladies waited for their boss, Kelly joked, "Ooooh, I'll be Simon," as she plopped herself in his seat. When Cowell finally arrived, he asked the audience, "Is it a coincidence that when I arrive, everything gets better?" That cocky Brit 😉
Speaking of seating assignments, I was a little surprised that Rowland received the coveted spot by Cowell. Given his chemistry with Lovato, I thought she'd remain in her slot. Perhaps, during the audition process the show will play around with the seating arrangement to determine the best fit. Check out more photos from the first day of filming below.
FOX is expected to make a formal announcement tomorrow when production begins in Charleston, N.C., but EW.com is confirming the official judging lineup for The X Factor Season 3. Unlike previous seasons, or any singing show for that matter, the panel will consist of three ladies and one man. The complete opposite of The Voice's current format of three men and one woman. I'm sure Simon Cowell won't mind sharing the spotlight with three talented and attracted women.
As previously reported, it appears Kelly Rowland is heading back to the X Factor family. The 32-year-old singer previously sat on the panel on the UK version, the year Little Mix won. Find out who the third judge is below. Here's a hint: Cowell is adding a little bit of spice.
Watch out One Direction, you have some boy band competition from your very own X Factor family. Union J even has their very own Harry Styles-looking bloke in the form of George Shelley. That's where the similarity ends though. This boy band is only a quartet, has an openly-gay singer in the group and for the most part, friends prior to the show. Shelly was added to the trio ( known then as Triple J) once they hit the judges' homes portion of the competition.
In their brand new clip, Josh Cuthbert, Jaymi Hensley, JJ Hamblett and Shelley do what hipster boys their age do- buy vinyl records, skateboard, shop, ride their bikes and get their hair did at the barber shop. Taking a page from their real-life journey, the boys enter an open mic contest. Hopefully for them, they end up better than their fourth place finish on the show. Check out the clip below. It's kinda odd that they debuted it now since their single doesn't officially hit iTunes til June 2.
If you thought Heidi Klum joining America's Got Talent as a judge was odd, this might just put you over the edge. Clearly, Simon Cowell is going with a different approach as a possible replacement for the departing Britney Spears. You can't get more out-of-the-box than this. The 53-year-old Brit is very interested with this actress who was once a teen queen on the small screen and on the silver one. Find out who might be joining Demi Lovato and Cowell on The X Factor judging panel below.
Back in February, there were rumblings that Khloe Kardashian wasn't coming back for the third season of The X Factor. FOX just released a statement officially announcing the 28-year-old reality star's departure from the singing competition.
"Khloe Kardashian will not be returning to co-host The X Factor," the show's producers said in a statement. "We really enjoyed working with her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors."
Staying on board though is Mario Lopez. No word if another personality will join him to co-host Season 3, but most likely he'll do it solo. Having two hosts was completely unnecessary, IMHO. That said, I didn't completely hate Khloe in that role. Her wardrobe malfunctions, awkward hosting skills and even more awkward on-air flirtations with Simon Cowell were somewhat entertaining to watch.
"I'm thrilled Mario is back for Season Three of The X Factor," said Cowell in a statement. "Hosting a live show and keeping the judges – especially Demi – in line, is not an easy job, but Mario is a pro and we are glad he's coming back."
Will you miss her? Do you think Mario can do the gig all by himself? I hope they don't bring Lopez until the live performances. I actually quite enjoyed the audition process and boot camp portions without a host. It had that Hills-like quality about it. Don't you agree? Sound off below.
Compared to last year, it's been relatively quiet on The X Factor casting front. Before Britney Spears and Demi Lovato officially came on board, practically every pop star's name was mentioned as a possible replacement for Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul. This year, with exception to Cheryl Cole, there really hasn't been anyone I can recall as a rumored potential judge.
With so many singing competitions on the air, not to mention in the UK and Australia, the pool of interested musicians wanting to judge is very limited. Maybe that explains this potential rumor. That, or musicians might think the FOX show is a sinking ship and don't want any part of it. Find out who's reportedly in the mix below.
Next to Fifth Harmony, Emblem3 was the other act I was rooting for on the second season of The X Factor. Sure Drew Chadwick aka the broad shouldered one was beyond douchey with his assortment of tank tops and gratuitous flexing, but there was something appealing about the three of them. Keaton Stromberg's Tourette's-looking dance moves were adorable and older bro Wesley was just cute period. Given their appeal to the tween demo, not surprisingly Simon Cowell signed them immediately. The Brit knows he has a cash cow when he sees one.
The Huntington Beach trio debuted their first single during On-Air with Ryan Seacrest. "Chloe (You're The One That I Want)" is exactly what you'd expect from them. It's poppy fun and in the vein of Blink 182, LFO, Sum 41 and all those other trio boybands from the early 2000s. The track tells a tale of a girl named Chloe with a really hot sister, but it's Chloe they pine after and not the one everyone wants. Take a listen below.

68th Precinct
Bay Ridge–Dyker Heights
65th shoot
A gun-wielding thug shot a man in the leg inside a 65th Street bar at around 2:45 am on Oct. 3.
Cops did not say what provoked the shooting in front of F1 Night Club, which is between Eighth and Ninth avenues, but the victim is in stable condition.
The unknown perp is still on the loose, but cops found .40-caliber shell casing at the scene.
Light minded
A man mustered up enough strength to chase after the perps who had just stabbed him on Seventh Avenue on Oct 2.
The victim-cum-vigilante told cops that he stopped at a red light near 70th Street at around 5:15 pm when a black car pulled up next to him. The two buff dudes inside the ride stabbed him in the arm and fled towards Fifth Avenue.
The bleeding victim chased them for several blocks, but couldn't catch them.
Locked down
Two guys tried to break into the 11th Avenue Scarpa Pharmacy on Oct. 1, but couldn't manage to cut through the lock.
Someone called the cops after seeing the two potential perps struggling to get in the store, which is between 62nd and 63rd streets, at around 4:15 am. They weren't able to steal anything, but were gone by the time cops arrived at the scene.
Head case
Four ruffians assaulted a 44-year-old man on Fifth Avenue on Oct. 1.
The victim told cops that he was near 82nd Street at around 12:20 am when the assailants bashed him in the head and then fled in a white Ford Explorer.
The man was treated at the scene by emergency services and did not have to go to the hospital.
Purse snatching
Two dudes snatched a woman's Coach bag on Fort Hamilton Parkway on Oct. 1. The victim told cops that she was near 88th Street at around 10 pm when the thieves snatched the designer purse, which contained cash and cards, right out of her hand and ran toward Fifth Avenue.
Nissan stolen
Someone stole a gray 2000 Nissan Xterra from its parking spot on Senator Street overnight on Oct. 1.
The owner told cops that he parked his ride between Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Road at around 10:30 pm. It was gone when he returned at 3:15 pm the next day. — Alex Rush

MLB Team Report - Colorado Rockies - INSIDE PITCH
Michael Cuddyer's hitting streak was in jeopardy when the Rockies right fielder came to bat in the eighth inning Sunday.
His team-record run was on the verge of ending after Cuddyer went hitless in three at-bats against Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner, striking out once and grounding out twice.
Cuddyer extended the streak with a two-out single in the eighth off reliever Sandy Rosario, who reached back for the ball only to have it hit his hand and roll into center field. The hit extended Cuddyer's streak to 27 games. Cuddyer has reached base safely in 46 straight games, which is also a franchise record.
"What helped me from being anxious was we needed baserunners in that situation," Cuddyer said of his at-bat against Rosario. "So I was taking, which helped me see the first slider, and then I saw his fastball second pitch. So I felt good after those two pitches, and then I squeaked one up the middle."
Cuddyer was happy not to have a fourth at-bat against Bumgarner, who held the Rockies to four hits and one run over seven innings in San Francisco's 5-2 win.
"I didn't pick Bumgarner up very well today," Cuddyer said. "Obviously, not many of us did. He was on his game."
Cuddyer's previous career-high was a 15-game hitting streak with the Twins in 2010.
"I've never been through anything like this before," he said. "It's pretty obvious. So just enjoy the ride and have as good of at-bats as you can."
That said, Cuddyer, who has the longest hitting streak in the majors since Atlanta's Dan Uggla hit safely in 33 consecutive games from July 5-Aug. 13, 2011, has been able to step back and realize the magnitude of his achievement.
"It's pretty awesome, pretty cool to go out and do," Cuddyer said. "But when you get in the box, you can't focus on it. Obviously, it's in your head and in your mind and there's a job at hand. I was upset with myself that first at-bat, because my job was to get that guy in from third with less than two outs, and I didn't. So that was bigger than the streak to me, and I didn't come through."
Batting with one out and runners at first and third in the first inning, Cuddyer struck out.
When he came up against Rosario in the eighth, Cuddyer said there was no question the streak was in his mind.
"I knew what was at stake, but I also knew I had to get on base," he said. "That was my job in that situation."
At this point, Cuddyer is one game shy of being halfway to Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941, a record many believe will never be broken.
"I'm right there with those people," Cuddyer said. "It's incredible; it's unfathomable."
MLB Team Report - Colorado Rockies - NOTES, QUOTES
STREAK: Lost one
NEXT: Tuesday -- Dodgers (Clayton Kershaw, 6-5, 2.08) at Rockies (Roy Oswalt, 0-2, 7.36)
--LHP Drew Pomeranz, recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to start Sunday, took the loss against the Giants. He gave up seven hits, two of them homers, four walks and four hits in 4 1/3 innings as the Rockies fell 5-2. It was his first major league outing of the season. Pomeranz, 24, was 8-1 with a 4.20 ERA in 15 starts for Colorado Springs this year.
--RHP Rob Scahill was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs to clear a roster spot for LHP Drew Pomeranz, who started Sunday. In three different stints with the Rockies this season, the last of which began May 29, Scahill is 0-0 with a 4.26 ERA in 13 games. He allowed nine runs in 19 innings, including five runs on June 7 against San Diego without retiring a batter.
--RHP Roy Oswalt pitches Tuesday against the Dodgers, his third start for the Rockies and first at Coors Field, where he has a career 2.25 ERA. Oswalt struck out 11 in five innings with no walks June 20 while losing 5-1 in his Rockies debut at Washington, and he struck out five and walked one in six innings June 26 at Boston in a 5-3 loss. Oswalt, 35, has had good fastball velocity and movement but must improve the sharpness of his secondary pitches.
--RF Michael Cuddyer extended his franchise-record hitting streak to 27 games with a single off the hand of RHP Sandy Rosario and into center field on his final at-bat in the eighth inning. Cuddyer has reached base safely in 46 straight games, which is also a franchise record. The last player with a longer hitting streak than Cuddyer was Atlanta's Dan Uggla, who hit safely in 33 consecutive games from July 8-Aug. 13, 2011. The last player to have an on-base streak longer than Cuddyer was Kevin Millar, who reached base safely in 52 consecutive games for Baltimore from June 20-Aug. 25, 2007.
--OF Xavier Nady signed a minor league contract with the Rockies and will report to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Colorado was interested in the 34-year-old right-handed hitter because they are left-handed-hitting dominant in their outfield. Nady, who can also play first base, was hitting .310 with a .382 on-base percentage, 11 home runs and 43 RBIs at Triple-A Omaha before asking for his release and signing Sunday with the Rockies, whom he thought offered a better major league opportunity. In 11 seasons in the big leagues, Nady has batted .280 with 101 homers and 406 RBIs with the Padres, Pirates, Yankees, Diamondbacks, Mets, Giants, Cubs and Nationals.
--CF Dexter Fowler did not play for the fifth straight game due to right wrist soreness. He said the wrist was better, and with an off day Monday, he hopes to play Tuesday. Manager Walt Weiss said Fowler would be re-evaluated Tuesday.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "My command wasn't what it has been. I haven't been pitching like that. I'm obviously very disappointed, not making it deep into the game like I would like to." -- LHP Drew Pomeranz, who took the loss against the Giants on Sunday after being called up to make the start.
MLB Team Report - Colorado Rockies - ROSTER REPORT
--CF Dexter Fowler (sore right wrist) did not play June 26-30 after aggravating the wrist taking a swing June 25. He is day-to-day.
--RHP Edgmer Escalona (right elbow inflammation) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to June 10. He began a rehab assignment June 28 with Triple-A Colorado Springs.
--SS Troy Tulowitzki (broken rib) went on the 15-day disabled list June 14. He is expected to be out until late July. He did some light throwing in late June but was not able to swing a bat as of June 27. He said he still feels pain and termed it "more like a bruise."
--LHP Edwar Cabrera (left shoulder impingement) went on the 60-day disabled list Feb. 14.

O3b Networks' 4 satellites are integrated on Soyuz for ArianespaceaEUR(tm)s next mission from French Guiana
Soyuz Flight VS05
The fifth Soyuz to be launched from French Guiana is now complete following the integration of its upper composite consisting of four O3b Networks satellites, their protective payload fairing and the Fregat upper stage.
This activity was performed at the Spaceport's ELS launch complex near the town of Sinnamary, beginning with the composite's transfer on a special transporter, followed by hoisting to the upper level of a purpose-built mobile gantry.
Final checkout of the Soyuz is now underway, leading to the Arianespace liftoff planned on Monday, June 24 at precisely 3:53:51 p.m., local time in French Guiana.
Analysis of the Global Commercial Satellite Broadband Market
The cluster of four O3b Networks satellites to be orbited on Arianespace's upcoming flight will initiate the creation of a next-generation satellite network for telecommunications operators, Internet service providers, enterprise and government customers in emerging markets.
A total of 12 O3b Networks satellites are to be orbited by Arianespace in groups of four, with the next mission planned for later this year, and another in 2014. These Ka-band relay platforms are produced by Thales Alenia Space, and have a liftoff mass of 700 kg. each.

One Year After Kony 2012, the Hunt for Joseph Kony Has Been 'Paused'
Kony 2013 looks a lot different.
Step into your time machine and go back a year. What do you notice? That sensation on your skin is called warmth, and it's something we had a lot of this time in 2012. Another thing we had plenty of was uproar over Joseph Kony, the truly terrible warlord whose Lord's Resistance Army U.S. and Ugandan troops were hunting through central Africa.
Here at home, Invisible Children's Kony 2012 became the most viral video ever, one of its makers was found masturbating in public in San Diego, and South Park was busy writing an episode skewering the whole thing. But we all supported the military mission to find the real bad guy. One year later, that mission has been placed on hold, thanks to local political turmoil.
After rebels seized power last week in the Central African Republic, where Kony is thought to be hiding out, U.S. and Ugandan military leaders said they would temporarily halt their joint search for the warlord. The rebel troops weren't cooperating with Ugandan troops stationed there, the Washington Post reports. The 40 U.S. troops stationed there as advisers to 3,000 African soldiers can't do much without those soldiers' participation, so "State Department officials in Washington said the U.S. military would likewise 'pause' its operations in the Central African Republic."
At the moment, the U.S. troops have been told to stay in place "at two camps deep in the bush," in hopes that things will stabilize enough to continue the search. Invisible Children, meanwhile, would like you to tweet to the African Union to ask that they don't abandon the search. Welcome to Kony 2013.
