Crime Makes a Comeback in California Politics
Early parole and prisoner releases could put an old issue back on the agenda.
Stanford, Calif.
There are so many politicians running for office in California with Silicon Valley roots that a Sacramento Bee reporter says next year could be the valley's political "coming out party." Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina is running for U.S. Senate. Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is running for governor, as are former high-tech entrepreneur and state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and Tom Campbell, a former congressman from the valley.
But amid the hubbub about the "new economy" coming to dominate Golden State politics, an old-fashioned issue is creeping back to the surface that none of these Republicans can afford to ignore: crime.
Consider what happened in 1994. Republican Gov. Pete Wilson, vying for re-election, was down 23 points in March. Then Melvin Carter, who had been convicted of a dozen rapes in 1982 and sentenced to 25 years in prison, was suddenly released thanks to time-off for good behavior. Democratic challenger Kathleen Brown said Carter's release was evidence Mr. Wilson was soft on crime.
The Republican counterpunch was devastating: The "good-time credits" law that let Carter out had been signed by Ms. Brown's brother, Jerry Brown, when he was governor. And it was her father, Pat Brown, who as governor appointed the judge who refused to correct a sentencing error that would have doubled Carter's punishment. Ms. Brown never recovered. She lost by 15 points.
Nearly 16 years later, the characters have changed, yet three constants remain regarding the politics of crime.
First, horrific crimes continually strike home in middle-class neighborhoods. Right now in Southern California the ongoing Station Fire has consumed more than 100,000 acres, killed at least two people—and appears to be the work of arson. The investigation could turn into a death-penalty case. In Northern California, there is the recent arrest of Phillip Craig Garrido for allegedly abducting, raping and imprisoning Jaycee Dugard for some 18 years.
The second constant: For all their progressive quirks, California voters reliably tilt to the right on crime, last year's election being no exception. Barack Obama easily carried California, with 61% of the vote. Yet 60% of Californians rejected Proposition 5, a George Soros-financed initiative that would have shortened sentences for drug felons. In November 2006, 70% of Californians voted for Proposition 83, the state's "Jessica's Law" establishing stiffer sentences and GPS tracking of registered sex offenders.
The third constant: In a "wrong track" election year, a sour electorate has little stomach for candidates who don't share their values. That was the lesson of the Wilson-Brown contest in 1994, when opinion swung nearly 40% against the liberal Democrat seen as "soft" on crime and illegal immigration.
Could history repeat itself in 2010? One opening comes courtesy of the state's fiscal mess. As part of this summer's budget deal, the legislature must cut $1.2 billion from the corrections budget to help close California's $26.3 billion deficit. Democratic lawmakers have suggested releasing up to 37,000 inmates to help ease prison-operation costs.
Republican State Sen. Tom Harman, a candidate for state Attorney General in 2010, is offering a conservative alternative: Rein in the runaway cost of prisoner health care. Over the past eight years, the cost of inmate care has more than quadrupled to $2.9 billion annually, or about $14,000 per prisoner. It's so expensive because the system is rife with waste and offers generous benefits (including heart transplants at top hospitals).
It's an interesting message for Republicans to road test, especially in Latino communities. Then again, the fear of alienating Latinos may discourage more moderate GOP candidates from bringing up the issue of the approximately 30,000 illegal aliens currently residing in California prisons. Some California Republicans now avoid the issue, lest they be branded as anti-immigrant. But other party stalwarts point out that incarcerated illegal aliens cost California taxpayers nearly $1 billion annually, with the Golden State paying 90 cents for every dime that comes from Washington. Will Ms. Fiorina have the courage to make federal reimbursement an issue against Sen. Barbara Boxer, who has done little on the matter during her three terms in the Senate?
Another flash point is the possibility of an appointed commission to rewrite California's sentencing guidelines. The idea was included earlier this year in the assembly bill to cut prison spending, but it was dropped due to queasiness within the Democratic caucus.
But if last fall's vote against Proposition 5 is any indication, that shouldn't stop Republicans from reminding voters that Mr. Garrido is the by-product of a reduced sentence. He had served time in federal prison for drug offenses and in Nevada for sexual assault, and he was out on parole when he was arrested.
California Republicans may also get lucky. Four years after Kathleen Brown's self-inflicted wound, Democrat Gray Davis cruised to victory in 1998 by showcasing his support of the death penalty. Mr. Davis went so far as to promise Californians that he would be "death on violent crime."
The current Democratic contenders aren't as dexterous. Jerry Brown touts a tough-on-crime record—as California's attorney general, and prior to that as mayor of Oakland. But it doesn't square with his record as a governor in the 1970s, most notably his opposition to the state's death penalty.
The other Democrat hopeful, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, may be haunted by Danielle Bologna. She's a San Francisco widow whose husband and two sons were murdered last year by an illegal immigrant. That immigrant might have been deported after his conviction for two gang-related felonies before the murders. But under San Francisco's 1989 "safe harbor" law, officials were barred from alerting federal authorities of his immigration status.
Not all California Republicans will be comfortable with elevating crime as a campaign issue, especially after seven years of Mr. Schwarzenegger avoiding conservative wedge issues in favor of left-of-center ideas. And so far all four candidates are avoiding the issue. But it will likely take more than biography to win a high-profile state-wide election—and 2010 is likely to be a contest of ideas as well as values.

Deal represents Lonza's entry into the human pluripotent stem cell market. [iStockphoto]
Lonza signed a worldwide, exclusive licensing and supply agreement with California Stem Cell focused on the development of novel pluripotent stem cell products for research. The partnership will combine CSC's methods for the scalable production of multiple cell types from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) with Lonza's expertise in primary cells and its marketing muscle.
"This partnership will address the evolving needs of the research community by making broadly available high-purity, human pluripotent stem cell-derived cells and related media products wordwide," comments Hans Keirstead, chairman of CSC's scientific advisory board.
The firms envisage that the first products to be marketed under the agreement will include NeuroPlate™ hPSC-derived neural progenitors and MotorPlate™ hPSC-derived motor neuron progenitors. Launch of the products with associated culture media is anticipated during 2010. Additional products are also planned for launch this year, and Lonza will begin to manufacture and distribute CSC's media portfolio.
The collaboration marks Lonza's entry in the hPSC market, the firm points out, and the CSC portfolio will complement its own Clonetics® and Poietics® brands of primary stem cells and optimized media. "California Stem Cell is one of the few companies that is able to produce cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells in the quantities needed to support our customers' research programs worldwide," remarks Heun van der Heide, Lonza's head of research solutions.

Problems finding a suitable vein to deliver an injection during a man's execution caused an unprecedented delay and seemed likely to feed a national debate over a method of capital punishment some consider cruel and unusual.
Joseph Lewis Clark, 57, died at 11:26 a.m. Tuesday at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, nearly 90 minutes after the execution was to begin.
Even the condemned man complained about the delay.
"He said 'It don't work, it don't work, it don't work, it ain't working,' about 5 times," said witness Paul Kostyu.
The curtain behind a glass panel separating him from the area where witnesses watched the execution was pulled shut. Clark, sentenced to die for killing gas station attendant David Manning during a spree of robberies in 1984, could be heard moaning and groaning from behind the curtain.
When the curtain reopened at 11:17 a.m., about 40 minutes later, Clark had a shunt in his left arm and his eyes were closed as the execution continued. He raised his head from the gurney several times and breathed deeply before becoming still.
Prison officials later said his vein had collapsed.
Many death row inmates have claimed their executions could be painful, either because of the drug combination or because the procedure would not be handled by specially trained medical personnel.
"When you see situations like this, it gives rise to a cruel and unusual punishment claim," says CBSNews.com Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen. "A lawyer can stand up and say, 'Listen, even a condemned person, even someone who has been given society's worst punishment, shouldn't be put through this at the end.'"
On Friday, a federal judge in Columbus, Ohio, indefinitely postponed the execution of Jeffrey Hill, who is part of a death row lawsuit that claims Ohio's method of execution is cruel and unusual.
And the U.S. Supreme Court last week examined a Florida case that asks whether inmates can file last-minute civil rights challenges claiming lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment. A ruling is expected before July.
The execution team Tuesday worked for about 25 minutes to find a vein in Clark's right arm before continuing with just the shunt in his left arm. At one point, a team member rolled up the leg of Clark's blue pants, looking for a vein in his right leg.
Prison procedures call for inserting two shunts, usually one in each arm, with one serving as a backup, prisons spokeswoman Andrea Dean said.
"This has never happened," Dean said of the delay, the longest since the state resumed executions in 1999.

Eyelid Inflammation (Blepharitis) (cont.)
Exams and Tests
Your ophthalmologist or primary-care physician usually diagnoses this condition after a careful history and an examination of your eyes and eyelids.
The exam usually consists of checking the vision after which the lids are examined, usually using the slit-lamp (microscope) if an ophthalmologist is consulted (the primary-care physician doesn't use a microscope).
Other diseases may affect your eyelids, so some of the questions or the examination may be focused on other parts of your body, as well as any medications, such as chemotherapeutic agents or antidepressants, that you are taking. The work environment, including exposure to any chemicals, may also be explored.
Occasionally cultures are
If it is suspected that the blepharitis is related to or caused by a systemic disease, a more complete evaluation by your primary-care physician may be indicated.
In some cases, an allergy evaluation may be required.

Problems in Life
Most of us as humans-has one or other problem in life.
-Sometimes no marriage-of if married then not good relation with wife-or in process of getting divorce;
-either no kid-or kid not studying well or going out of contol-or even if he studying not able to score well to reach career;
-either no money or too many obstacles in job/career/business;
-Either health problem of own or family members keep getting sick;
-less customers or less profits or not able to survive;
or number of similar problems
You may have tried the best but still situation is NOT coming under control.
EARTH has various Energy Grid points at 2 m * 2.5 or 3 meter(Similar to SNAKE & LADDERS game we use to play as kid where one wrong steps pulls us to bottom despite reaching top, same way we are pull down all of a sudden despite reaching successes , without having a logical reason)
Many of such energy are positive and many are negative fountain of energies
Though Nature is Balancing them automatically but many times those fields are disturbed due to construction or alterations or layout.
If some one sleeps or works or sits for LONG TIME on such negative energy point ,
it may affect health or sleep or behavior of person in one or other ways.
or In such cases medicine are not that effective.
or Kids may not like to study
or if it is an office space then workers/customers
may not be happy or satisfied or business may not do well.
We are able to detect and fine tune those NEGATIVE energies, thereby creating a balance where it is disturbed.

Hartmann Net or Hartmann Lines
The Hartmann net consists of naturally occurring charged lines, running North-to-South and East-to-West. It is named after Dr. Ernst Hartmann, a well regarded German medical doctor, who first described it soon after the second world war.
The Hartmann Net appears as a structure of radiations rising vertically from the ground like invisible, radioactive walls, each 21 centimetres (9 inches) wide. The grid is magnetically orientated, from North to South they are encountered at intervals of 2 metres (6 feet 6 inches), while from East to West they are 2.5 metres (8 feet) apart.
Between these geometric lines lies a neutral zone, an unperturbed micro-climate. This network penetrates everywhere, whether over open ground or through dwellings.
The points formed by the intersection of these lines, whether positive or negative, are dynamic environments sensitive to the rhythms of the hours and the seasons.
Alternate lines are usually positively and negatively charged, so where the lines intersect it is possible to have double positive charges and double negative charges, or one positive and one negative charge. It is the intersections that are seen to be a source of potential problems.
It has been suggested that both the Curry grids and Hartmann Net are earthing grids for cosmic rays that constantly bombard the Earth, and that they can be distorted by other things, such as geological fault lines and underground mining or MRT Lines.
Curry Lines
Earth radiation is a hypothetical geophysical phenomenon described primarily by the German authors Manfred Curry and Ernst Hartmann. This is known as Curry Lines.
Both men describe a mystic force field, similar to Odic force, Mana, and Qi, that covers the Earth at regular intervals and can be detected by dowsing using a divining rod. It is not supposed to be detectable by common scientific instruments but some still connect it to telluric currents, which are actual phenomena, detectable by scientific instruments.
Placing people or other living things in certain spots of the earth radiation knots is believed to be beneficial/harmful depending on radiation flow direction.
The radiation is described as a grid-like arrangement with lines at regular distances:
Comparing Curry Lines, Hartmann Lines
Curry lines are approximately 3 meters apart (with variations), diagonally to the poles, from North East to South West.
Hartmann lines run both east-to-west and north-to-south forming a grid across the earths surface with a distance of circa 2 meters in the north-south direction and 2.5 meters in the east-west direction.
It is also possible to have spots where the Curry and Hartmann lines cross, causing further potential problems. These spots are generally seen to be more detrimental than a single crossing within the Curry or Hartmann system.
We are able to detect these and balance negative energy points so as to remove obstacles from your personal and professional life.

While looking at the wWWHomePage attribute in Active Directory, a web search found some questions on lousier Q&A sites, that indicate that SharePoint will populate the wWWHomePage attribute on a user in AD with their SharePoint site.
The specific question I found was how to turn this off? There was no answer there, so I would be curious to know how to turn it off.
But more importantly, what affect would there be to SharePoint if we turned this off?
We actually are planning on syncing in other data from another source into that attribute. How would that affect SharePoint, if at all?
Should the answer be that it matters, I will later ask a question if the attribute has any funny syntax requirements as I was informed that in the past the people I am working with have had problems with some values in the field, even though the schema def seems to say it is just a 2K long single valued Unicode string.

What I like to see in a language, Class objects(sadly non-existent in Lua), loosely typed(Its up to the programmer to manage his variables properly, he shouldn't be limited by types), arrays that can store more than one type, and can resize without declaring a new array, no properties of the language being locked, if you want to overwrite what the plus sign for strings does, have at it, a way to yield the current thread (a wait or sleep call), proper multi-threading thats as easy as a function call.

There is a module called "pcre" (Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions) that will use regex syntax ala perl. I prefer this actually, mainly because perl's syntax avoids what Larry Wall called "backslashitis", an overabundance of backslashes which under POSIX appear in the very commonly used operators. Adding to this the fact that to get a backslash INTO a literal string (in perl, C, lisp) you have to double it as "\\" then you go crazy. Perl's syntax considers the special operators like ? to be special by DEFAULT and if you want them literally THEN you must quote them. I think the POSIX designers did this because it is conceptually more elegant and consistent to have all regex operators be escaped w/ backslash, but then it looks like hell when you actually use it. Sam: the syntax page at: http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/regexp.html should probably say it's POSIX, and draw a distinction b/w other syntaxes (GNU grep, perl, etc.) I agree all this different syntaxes are reall pain --- John Hinsdale, Alma Mater Software, Inc., Tarrytown, NY 10591-3710 USA hin@... | http://www.alma.com/staff/hin | +1 914 631 4690

Despite his previous reticence to go anywhere near controversy over President Obama's birthplace, Mitt Romney dove in headfirst on Friday with a joke that touched off the latest round of partisan fireworks between the two campaigns.
Speaking to a crowd of several thousand people at an orchard farm and cider mill in his home state of Michigan, Romney raised the subject while reminiscing about growing up here with his wife, Ann.
"I love being home in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born. Ann was born in Henry Ford Hospital. I was born in Harper Hospital," Romney said. "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."
In an attempt to tamp down speculation that the presumptive Republican nominee was himself raising doubts about the president's birthplace, Romney aide Kevin Madden sent an email to reporters saying the candidate was "only referencing that Michigan, where he is campaigning today, is the state where he himself was born and raised."
"The governor has always said, and has repeatedly said, he believes the president was born here in the United States," Madden wrote.
But the remarks drew a quick response from Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, who emailed reporters the minute Romney finished speaking.
"Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them," wrote LaBolt. "It's one thing to give the stage in Tampa to Donald Trump, [Arizona] Sheriff [Joe] Arpaio, and [Kansas Secretary of State] Kris Kobach. But Governor Romney's decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America."
Obama's official Twitter account responded with a tweet: "Song of the day: 'Born in the U.S.A.,'" with a link to the 1984 Bruce Springsteen anthem.
The outrage from Democrats, in turn, led Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer to point an accusatory finger at Democrats and accuse them of hypocrisy.
"I found it somewhat laughable that these guys who have taken gutter politics to a new low, if you can do that, are suddenly feigning outrage about this kind of comment," Spicer said on MSNBC.
Romney's quip dominated headlines from the event, which was supposed to be focused on "President Obama's failures on the economy and the Romney-Ryan Plan for a Stronger Middle Class," according to a campaign aide who previewed the event for reporters.
With the beginning of the week dominated by controversy over comments about rape by Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, the campaign's economic message has been largely overshadowed in the runup to the Republican National Convention.
Trump's embrace of Romney -- and, until Friday, Romney's decision to stay far away from the birth certificate issue -- has forced his campaign into awkward situations in the past. The business mogul and reality TV star revived charges that the president was born in Kenya last May, just as he was set to appear at a fundraiser with Romney in Las Vegas.
Madden at the time told MSNBC that Romney disagreed with Trump about the birth certificate.

My husband and I co-sleep with our 10mo old son. He wakes up to nurse about 4 times between 7pm bedtime and around 9:30pm; sleeps solid till about 12:30am; I change dipes and nurse, then he sleeps solid till about 3am. Then from 3am till 6:30am wake up he wakes up every 20-30 mins to nurse! I am trying desperately to finish my dissertation during his naptimes and after bedtime. I really need these constant wake-ups before 9:30pm and after 3am to stop. I have started patting him back to sleep and this works beautifully for him a few of the wake-up times after 3am. I would like to extend this. I would absolutely love it if he could sleep solid 7pm till midnight; nurse and change dipes; sleep solid midnight-5am or so, nurse, back to sleep till 6:30am.
Do I just keep patting him back to sleep even if he cries? I am holding him, he's right next to me, he's not abandoned ..... Should I set a period of time (say 20 mins) that I let him cry before nursing him? Or no nursing him at all? How can my husband help? Maybe once in the early part of the night he can pat the baby back to sleep. But baby usually *screams* if it's daddy and not me. Should I just give it over to my husband to do, ie less access to breast, easier time of it? Should daddy pick him up, rock and bounce him, or just pat in bed, trying to get him to lay down instead of sitting up crying?
FYI I nightweaned my 3yo at 16 mos and it worked within a week. I did something similar to the Jay Gordon method, and held him through all the crying.
Thank you!!!
Sleepy Mama PhD
I'm interested here as well. Our 13 month old recently started doing bedtime with DH (he transitions and falls asleep SO.MUCH faster with him than nursing with me), but he sleeps between us at night and wakes to nurse maybe 7-8 times. Now that I know that he'll go down on DH without a problem, I'm tempted to have DH do some nighttime duty as well...I just think it would have to involve me sleeping in another room. I think if I'm there, he'll want me. The all-night nursing is really wearing me out.

Ratchet: Deadlocked
Too mature for its own good?
The best news is that Deadlocked's single-player game is every bit as extensive and robust as the other games in the series; it's just structured differently. Instead of long, linear levels, Deadlocked takes the "battleground" sub-missions introduced in Up Your Arsenal and runs with them.
The single-player mode is entirely made up of large playing fields with somewhat non-linear objectives -- destroy a certain number of enemies, or take out the large megaliths scattered around, or activate all the nodes. Each level consists of three or four mission objectives strung together, and your accomplishments usually build on each other to give a sense of cohesiveness to the campaigns.
Another change is your constant support in the form of two bots who trail you around the battlefield at all times, except during certain vehicle-based missions. Since the levels are more free-roaming this time, and you can come under fire from all sides, the bots are invaluable both in helping out with battle and just indicating when enemies are approaching -- if they start firing at something off-screen, it's usually a sign that you should be paying attention to whatever's in that direction.
Controlling the bots is done with the d-pad, which gives them context-sensitive commands. Down on the pad, for instance, is usually a neutral command: under normal circumstances it's an order to regroup near you, and when one of the robots is down, it's a signal to begin the self-healing process to revive it. In addition to extra firepower, the robots also have special functions necessary to progress. Only the bots can fire the EMP bursts necessary to disable enemy turrets or activate platforms, and they can also be directed to do the work of hacking nodes or turning cranks if you'd rather stay in the thick of battle.
Naturally, the whole shebang -- from battleground-style levels to constant support from teammates -- translates gracefully to online play. This marks Insomniac's second go at multiplayer in Ratchet, and while a lot of things are the same -- the team having already gotten it basically right the first time -- there are also some additions and changes.
For one thing, due to the change in the single-player structure, you can now choose every single-player level in multiplayer. Siege Mode returns from Up Your Arsenal, renamed to Conquest Mode, which eliminates the bases and focuses entirely on capturing nodes. Whenever your team takes a node, there's a vote amongst the team members to decide on what type of bonus it should bestow -- players can choose between weapon boxes, vehicles, or security droids to defend the node.
There's also a new game type called Juggernaut, where one player has beefed-up firepower and stamina, not to mention the ability to turn invisible, which creates a sort of Predator vibe as all the other players band together to take him down. Whoever defeats the Juggernaut in this mode takes his place, and only the Juggernaut can score points with kills, so there's no sense in going after other players while the Juggernaut is stalking the map.
All that plus more of the goofy humor and well-animated cut-scenes that Insomniac is known for means this is shaping up to be a solid entry into the Ratchet series in its own right. We look forward to checking out the full online modes when they're available.
Pimp My Weapons
Your weapons upgrade on their own with enough use just like they did in Ratchet 2 and 3, but there's a new wrinkle this time around. In addition to intrinsic enhancements, some weapon upgrades come in the form of Alpha and Omega mods, which can be swapped around between weapons as you see fit. If you like the Magma Gun so much that you never want to stop using it, you can load it up on extra-ammo mods, though that means you'll have to forego any special-damage mods, and you'll have to strip ammo capacity from other weapons to do it.

"Mom, when I die please prop me up in the corner, posed and dressed like an aloof douchebag."
His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: He wanted to be happy, standing.
And at 24? Sounds like he knew he was going to die. Hey, sweet bling. Good riddance.
Can't help but notice the Yankees hat, (despite his attempt at camouflage) and must concur with Mr. Poe's glib farewell.
Wow, that is creepy.
I have kissed goodbye the lifeless bodies of my favorite uncle and my recently departed grandfather. It is not as scary as it sounds. Love is love.
If you go first, Schmader, I will totally give your corpse a farewell kiss.
Are animatronic corpses next?
I would ONLY want something strange like this for myself if I could also have a not so "I'm lying in a coffin" face as well. That part creeps me out.
Also, it doesnt look like he's having much fun. But yah, nice bling.
I'm sorry, but is that corpse grabbing its crotch?
Kerri, for me, forget the kiss. I would take it as a great compliment if you'd just take a bite out of me.
Mark, for you, of course. I already planned on nibbling on whatever finger that big ol' gold ring of yours is on....

Nelson Piquet Jr.
SH Rallycross
Driver Info
- Date of Birth: July 25, 1985
- Home: Brasilia, Brazil
- Website: http://www.nelsonpiquetjr.com
- 2015: 12 starts, 1 win, 4 podiums, 9 heat wins, 380 points, 4th overall (Supercars)
- 2014: 10 starts, 4 podiums, 7 heat wins, 307 points, 4th overall (Supercars); 2 starts, 1 podium, 2 heat wins, 75 points, 8th overall (Lites)
- 2013: 4 starts, best finish 10th, 17 points, 19th overall (Supercars)
- CAREER: 26 starts, 1 win, 8 podiums, 16 heat wins, 704 points (Supercars); 2 starts, 1 podium, 2 heat wins, 75 points (Lites)
2014 was a tale of two seasons for Nelson Piquet Jr. in Red Bull Global Rallycross.
The first half of the year was as impressive as anything that any driver managed to do all year. Piquet took four podiums and a fourth place in the first five races, taking the Supercar lead in New York and extending it to an impressive 46-point margin at the halfway point in Charlotte. He even moonlighted in a pair of Lites races to help acclimate himself to all-wheel drive racing, taking a podium in Washington DC—becoming the only driver in series history to podium in both classes on the same weekend.
Unfortunately, the run didn't last. After a so-so weekend in Daytona, the Los Angeles doubleheader ate away Piquet's entire championship lead and dropped him from the points lead. He recovered with a fourth place run in Seattle and appeared confident in Las Vegas, but a mechanical failure left him out of the main event and ended his season where it started—fourth overall in series points.
With lessons learned from last season, both in how to get the most out of his car and how his opponents plan to race him, expect Piquet to minimize mistakes and contend for the championship once again.

Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that most often affects the knee, hip, or back. Carrying extra pounds places extra pressure on these joints and wears away the cartilage (tissue cushioning the joints) that normally protects them.
Weight loss can ease stress on the knees, hips, and lower back and may improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
Gout is a disease that affects the joints. It happens when you have too much uric acid in your blood. The extra uric acid can form crystals that deposit in the joints.
Gout is more common in overweight people. The more you weigh, the more likely you are to get gout.
Over the short term, sudden weight changes may lead to a flare-up of gout. If you have a history of gout, check with your doctor for the best way to lose weight.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a breathing condition that's linked to being overweight.
Sleep apnea can cause a person to snore heavily and to briefly stop breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea may cause daytime sleepiness and make heart disease and stroke more likely.
Weight loss often improves sleep apnea.

|"What If? Fallen Son" one-shot on sale in December
It was the shot heard 'round the Marvel Universe. It rang out on March 7, 2007, in âCaptain Americaâ #25, and it killed Steve Rogers -- a.k.a. Captain America. Rogers was killed climbing the steps of the courthouse where he was to stand trial for his actions during Civil War. The fallout of Rogersâ death was explored in âFallen Son: The Death of Captain America,â which depicted just how much Captain America meant to the heroes of the Marvel Universe.
This December, in the âWhat If? Fallen Sonâ one-shot, writer Marc Sumerak and artist Trevor Goring take readers back to that fateful day-- only this time, it's Rogersâ former ally and Civil War rival, Tony Stark -- a.k.a. Iron Man -- is the one who perishes. CBR News spoke with Sumerak about the book.
Sumerak was a fan of the death of Captain America storyline and âFallen Son,â so editor Mark Paniccia didn't have to do much to convince the writer to take on âWhat If? Fallen Son.â âTo be able to explore what would have happened if Steve had lived on was an interesting exercise,â Sumerak told CBR News. âWould his trial have been completed? Would he have served time? Or would he have just returned to life as normal? And how would he have reacted if his one-time best friend -- the same man who became his greatest opponent during the Civil War -- had fallen in his place? That's a lot of possibilities to explore--and it's those questions that fueled this one-shot.â
Iron Man's grief over the loss of Captain America was an integral point of âFallen Son,â and in âWhat If? Fallen Sonâ the Sentinel of Liberty's mourning will be just as great. âI think Tony and Steve were more than just friends after all these years. They were brothers,â Sumerak said. âAnd like all brothers, they often had major fights and disagreements. So while they may have had fundamental differences that landed them on opposite sides of the battle during Civil War, there was still a mutual respect they held for each other. We saw that respect displayed in the way that Tony dealt with Steve's final wishes regarding Bucky and the future of Captain America. And we'll see that same relationship explored from Steve's side in this story.â
|Page from "What If? Fallen Son"
Captain America isn't the only character Sumerak examines in âWhat If? Fallen Son.â âWe'll be packing a lot of Marvel characters into these 22 pages, as there were many important players who would have been deeply affected by Tony's death,â the writer said. âDefinitely look for Pepper Potts, Jim Rhodes and Jarvis to get some attention, as well as members of the New Avengers, the Mighty Avengers and the Initiative.â
Like the original âFallen Son,â âWhat If? Fallen Sonâ focuses on the first few days after Tony Stark was killed. âThe story takes place in multiple locations throughout the Marvel Universe that had particular significance to Tony -- such as Stark Tower, Camp Hammond and more,â Sumerak explained.â
âWhat If? Fallen Sonâ also follows the story structure of the original book in that it shows Tony Stark's friends and fellow heroes dealing with the different stages of grief. That doesn't mean the one-shot will be lacking action, though. âWhile there won't be any major 'hero vs. villain' clashes in this story, I can assure you that there will be plenty of fighting,â Sumerak confirmed. âAnd if the bad guys do show up here, it might not be in the ways you might expect. Sometimes, unpredictable events lead to unexpected behavior-- and unexpected opportunities....â
Like many stories dealing with death and the struggle to accept it, âWhat If? Fallen Sonâ is a tale of raw and extreme emotions. âLove him or hate him, Iron Man is a major player in the Marvel Universe, and his death will hit a lot of people very hard and change the course of events in the MU, just like Cap's death did,â Sumerak remarked. âHopefully, a few of the 'Tony-haters' out there will give this a read and remember that he wasn't such a bad guy after all.â
Sumerak is happy to have Trevor Goring bringing to life his script for âWhat If? Fallen Son.â âTrevor has a very dark, realistic style that brought a lot of strong emotional weight to the story,â the writer said. âHe really did a nice job portraying the grim reality of this piece, while still capturing the majesty of the Marvel Universe.â
|Page from "What If? Fallen Son"
Sumerak found the chance to work on a âWhat If?â title to be both fun and refreshing. âThe chance to explore the events of the Marvel Universe from another angle and reshape them in a completely different direction has been a blast! It's definitely something I'd consider doing again sometime,â he said. âBeyond that, it was a lot of fun to switch things up a bit in terms of the tone of my work. Lately, I've been writing a lot of humorous all-ages material, so to have the opportunity to write a piece that has a lot of strong emotional resonance was a nice change of pace.â
âWhat If? Fallen Sonâ is a tale designed for all Marvel Comic fans, but Sumerak feels a certain type of reader should find the story especially interesting. âThere are a lot of readers out there who wish that the events of the past few years had unfolded differently. They feel that Steve Rogers should still be alive and wearing the red, white & blue-- and they think Tony Stark made some grave mistakes during the 'Civil War' that he should finally answer for,â the writer explained. âNow, those readers will have a chance to see what could have happened if they got their wish.â

Professor Brian Shefton, Greek and Etruscan historian, 92Historians in the News
Professor Brian Shefton, who has died aged 92, was a leading expert on Greek and Etruscan artefacts; after joining Newcastle University in 1955 as a lecturer in Greek Archaeology and Ancient History, he began to build up a collection of treasures which led to the university's Greek Museum being renamed the Shefton Museum of Greek Art and Archaeology in his honour.
It was Charles Bosanquet, then Rector of the university, who had the idea of building a collection of Greek artefacts. Newcastle had a reputation for Roman archaeology, but Bosanquet had been born in Athens and wanted to show off the other great culture of the classical world. As Shefton recalled: "He called me in and said, 'Here's £25 to get some objects to interest people who are going to take up Greek archaeology'."...

Oil Drops to a Six-Week Low as Fed Sees Downside Economic Risks
Oil dropped to a six-week low after the Federal Reserve cited "significant downside risks" to the economy of the U.S., the world's biggest crude consuming nation.
Futures declined 6.3 percent after the Fed said it will replace $400 billion of short-term debt with longer-term Treasuries to spur growth. A report today showed manufacturing in China, the world's second-biggest oil consuming country, may contract this month. Prices also dropped on concern banks may face difficulty getting funding.
"Signs of economic weakness are rearing their ugly head in many places and we're seeing an appropriate response in commodity and equity markets," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts.
Crude oil for November delivery fell $5.41 to $80.51 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest settlement since Aug 9. It was the biggest one-day drop since Aug. 8. The contract touched $79.66. Prices are down 12 percent this year.
Brent oil for November settlement fell $4.87, or 4.4 percent, to $105.49 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, the lowest close since Aug. 9. The contract touched $105.02.
"There are significant downside risks to the economic outlook, including strains in global financial markets," the Federal Open Market Committee said in Washington after ending a two-day meeting yesterday. "The committee discussed the range of policy tools available to promote a stronger economic recovery in a context of price stability."
Equities and Commodities
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined 3.2 percent to 1,129.56 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 3.5 percent to 10,733.83. The S&P GSCI Index of 24 raw materials fell as much as 5.2 percent to 605.2, the lowest level this year. All of the commodities declined.
"All exuberance is being excised from the markets," said Stephen Schork, president of the Villanova, Pennsylvania-based Schork Group Inc. "The odds are very good that we're already in a recession or will soon be in one."
Moody's Investors Service cut its long-term credit ratings on Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. yesterday, saying U.S. support has become less likely if lenders have financial trouble. Citigroup Inc.'s short-term rating also was downgraded.
"The market certainly didn't like the FOMC statement yesterday," said Tom Bentz, a broker with BNP Paribas Commodity Futures Inc. in New York. "There's a lot of pessimism out there in the world for the overall global economy."
Chinese Outlook
China's manufacturing may shrink for a third month in September, the longest contraction since 2009, a preliminary index of purchasing managers showed. The reading of 49.4 for the index released by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics was down from 49.9 in August.
Euro-area services and manufacturing output contracted for the first time in more than two years in September. A composite index based on a survey of purchasing managers fell below 50 for the first time since July 2009, Markit Economics said today.
"The Chinese manufacturing data was terrible and you've got Europe slowing down," said Phil Flynn, vice president research at PFGBest in Chicago. "The market is pricing in a global economic slowdown."
The U.S. and China were responsible for 32 percent of global oil demand in 2010, according to BP Plc's Statistical Review of World Energy released on June 8. The 17 countries using the euro accounted for about 12 percent of world use.
Goldman Projection
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lowered its three-month forecast for oil in New York, by 15 percent to $97.50 a barrel. The bank's previous target was $115 a barrel, analysts led by Samantha Dart in London said in today's report.
Libya will produce as much as 600,000 barrels a day of oil soon, rising to 1 million barrels in six months, OPEC Secretary-General Abdalla el-Badri said Sept. 19.
The North African country's oil output and exports came to a standstill after fighting broke out in February between forces loyal to leader Muammar Qaddafi and rebels seeking his ouster. Libya pumped 1.59 million barrels a day in January, according to Bloomberg News estimates.
Libyan Production
"Libyan output appears to be on an upward slope," said Rick Mueller, a principal with ESAI Energy LLC in Wakefield, Massachusetts. "The disruption of Libyan output was one of the bullish factors supporting prices. The additional barrels will be coming on the market as demand worsens."
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will make a decision on whether to cut supply after monitoring the global economy and the pace of Libya's rebound, an OPEC official with knowledge of the matter said. Saudi Arabia will probably maintain current output if U.S. and European economic woes don't spread, he said.
The organization meets next on Dec. 14 in Vienna. At its June meeting, OPEC rejected a Saudi proposal to raise output.
"If prices continue to drop OPEC will have to make tough choices," Mueller said. "You can't say it's a cohesive group after the June meeting."
Oil volume in electronic trading on the Nymex was 718,675 contracts at 3:07 p.m. in New York. Volume totaled 517,286 contracts yesterday. Open interest was 1.37 million contracts, the least since Dec. 20.

India's Bonds Complete Weekly Advance on Reserve-Cut Speculation
India's 10-year bonds completed a weekly gain on speculation the central bank will reduce the cash reserve ratio to boost availability of funds in the banking system.
Lenders borrowed an average 1.3 trillion rupees ($26.4 billion) a day from the central bank this year to meet cash shortages, data from the Reserve Bank of India show. India's inflation slowed to the least in 26 months in January. The wholesale-price index rose 6.55 percent, compared with 7.47 percent in December, according to official data.
"Tight liquidity may prompt the central bank to cut the reserve requirement for lenders next month," said N.S. Venkatesh, the Mumbai-based head of treasury at state-owned IDBI Bank Ltd. "Since inflation is easing, a reduction in interest rates may also be in the offing."
The yield on the 8.79 percent notes due November 2021 fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, this week to 8.19 percent in Mumbai, according to the central bank's trading system. Financial markets in India will remain shut on Feb. 20 for a local holiday.
The Reserve Bank reduced the amount of deposits lenders need to set aside as reserves to 5.5 percent from 6 percent on Jan. 24, the first cut since 2009.
The finance ministry sold 120 billion rupees of government bonds due in 2018, 2021 and 2041 today.
The cost of one-year interest-rate swaps, or derivative contracts used to guard against fluctuations in funding costs, fell three basis points this week to 8.10 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Hi! I'm trying to get my widget to show up only in the following places:
- on a specific category page
- on any post within that category
- on any post within a child of that category
I've got 2/3, but that last one has eluded me, despite much scanning of the Codex and Googling.
What I have now:
is_category(5) || (is_single() && in_category(5))
I've tried the post_is_in_descendant_category function described here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category
but that broke my blog (after adding the relevant code to functions.php and updating the widget logic, I only got a blank page on refresh).
Is this possible and, if so, please describe what I should be doing?
Many thanks!

The media insist that crime is the major concern of the American public today. In this connection they generally push the point that a disarmed society would be a crime-free society. They will not accept the truth that if you take all the guns off the street you still will have a crime problem, whereas if you take the criminals off the street you cannot have a gun problem.

Conference titles shouldn't affect title-game eligibility
Updated: November 16, 2008, 6:49 PM ETBy Brad Edwards | Special to ESPN.com
It's time to settle this once and for all.
It started when Nebraska reached the BCS Championship Game in 2001 without winning the Big 12 North.
And it escalated in 2003, when Oklahoma reached the BCS Championship Game after losing by four touchdowns in the Big 12 title tilt.
Ever since that time, there have been cries from media and fans alike that something should be done to make sure this never happens again. Yet, BCS administrators have refused to take that ...

Skip to comments.Lefty Crackpot Theory: Chinese Dictators Funneling Cash into GOP Campaigns to Export Jobs
Posted on 10/26/2010 2:21:45 PM PDT by Rufus2007
The potentially historic midterm elections are a week away and left-wing voices are getting more shrill and paranoid than ever before.
On CNBCs Oct. 26 The Call, left-wing talker and frequent MSNBC guest Mike Papantonio went on a nearly six-minute conspiratorial, anti-corporation, anti-conservative candidate rant suggesting GOP U.S. Senate hopeful Sharron Angle was raising secret money from the Chinese government in order to help them ship American jobs overseas.
...more (w/video)...
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
You'd think after the Clinton scandal involving the sale of classified technology to the Chinese, the lefties would make an effort to make stuff up that didn't hit so close to home.
Re the Clinton scandal:
Remember this quote: "We like your President."
I think they like this one, too. A weak noodle is easier to bend, regardless of policy, than a strong leader.
Good thing the Chinese are funneling money into the GOP coffers, or the outcome of these elections might be different.
Hmmm,don't American consumers need jobs to buy Chicom stuff?
Even if it were true, would it make any difference to the people of Nevada?
Most of the Democrats support shipping American jobs to Communist China....so I seriously doubt the ChiComs would just be sending money to GOP candidates.
Harry Reid is one of the biggest supporters of Free Trade, NAFTA, WTO, in the Senate....so I doubt the ChiComs would give huge amounts to Angle
"A weak noodle is easier to bend, regardless of policy, than a strong leader."
I dunno. His total cluelessness would also make him popular with the ChiComs. Actually, he gives them the best of both worlds-a spineless moron.
make that a spineless Marxist moron.
"the lefties would make an effort to make stuff up that didnt hit so close to home"
Isn't it only natural, though, to imagine everyone's doing what you do?
Psssst- This must be a lie. No one has to pay to induce our corporations to export jobs, they have done quite well on their own.
Yeah, she wants to sent all those Nevada casino jobs to China.
Gee...china gate.....nothing gets by these guys...
Nothin says' lovin like a big ole bag of blank money orders...
I knew I was going to see 'MSNBC' in the first paragraph of this story.
Since the Impeached Rapist signed the MFN for China and set them up both Militarily and Industrially, that is more Rat talk.
Which was pushed through Congress by a Republican majority. That's a fact I will never forgive them for.
"Which was pushed through Congress by a Republican majority. That's a fact I will never forgive them for."
That would be Newt and his boys!
Unfortunately the Chinese will probably kill us economically before they ever use that missile tech. against us.
That was a poorly worded sentence to say the least but I think it will still be understood for its true intent. lol
Unfortunately the Chinese will probably kill us economically before they ever use that missile tech. against us. "
Would like Newt and the boys to explain that traitorous act it was better when they made rubber alligators for the Indian trinket shops not everything we buy some people need to hang
Is it irony that what Congress did isn't technically treason while what Bubba did is unquestionably treason yet it will probably be through the economy that China does us in? Another case of 'just because it's legal doesn't make it right.' It doesn't make it benign either.
"LOL Yes, I liked the rubber alligators. I wonder if the Chinese made/make the rubber tomahawks they sell downtown in this little tourist town?

I recall Bent Bill saying that giving them (Chinese) a industrial base, would hurry their movement to a democracy. What a Damn Traitor this guy was.

I'm in the middle of week 13 of Quasense, why haven't I gotten my period? I'm not pregnant and I've had symptoms of PMS but still no period. This is my first time round with this. I have had NO issues with it other than this, I love it. No breakthrough bleeding or anything. Since I went off the pill (just for a few days) I have had terrible mood swings and depression (like before I was on it). But I'm just wondering when is my period supposed to come and what should I expect? Thanks
