Why We Still Ask Whether Women Can Have it All
News that McKinsey & Co. is reaching out to female employees who left the firm some years ago, presumably to start families, may be a small sign that at least some companies recognize that they lose valuable talent when workers decide it's not possible to balance family and career.
The development is the latest entry in the conversation about women's prospects for simultaneously fulfilling work and family lives, a debate that has been rekindled in recent months, thanks in part to a now-famous essay by Anne-Marie Slaughter in The Atlantic last July.
The question of whether women can truly "have it all" continues among professional women and across the Web, most recently with this New York Times op-ed about the difficulties facing families in which both parents want to (or must) work. (So pervasive is the discussion these days that nearly every high-profile woman who elects to have children is subjected to think pieces about their ability to balance their public roles and private lives. See "Why Can't Beyonce Have it All?" and "Can Marissa Mayer Have it All?", and "Can Kate Middleton and Prince Harry Have it All?" (Spoiler on that last one: Nope.))
Campbell Soup Co. CEO Denise Morrison put it this way in a speech last spring: "You can have it all – you just can't have it all at once." The idea of work-life balance itself, said Morrison, "sets up false expectations" that a woman's personal and professional lives can exist in perfect equilibrium. More realistic, many say, is so-called 'work-life integration', blending work and family in varying combinations.
Why the focus on women and not men? For one, they traditionally have been, and still are, the main caregivers in a family. Employment data shows that women with children are much more likely to stay at home than men. Just 71% of mothers with children under 18 were in the labor force in 2011, compared to 94% of fathers, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Facebook Inc. COO Sheryl Sandberg, who has a book on the topic coming next month, titled "Lean In," said women rarely choose outright to leave the workforce, at least not consciously. Instead, she writes, "they make a lot of small decisions along the way…accommodations and sacrifices that they believe are required to have a family."
Perhaps spurred along by the painful conclusions of Slaughter's essay, employers like McKinsey are attempting to make work life easier for parents. Fellow consulting firms Bain & Co. and Boston Consulting Group have initiatives that target women staff and alums. Some companies, including Goldman Sachs Group, have introduced "returnship" programs, short-term paid jobs targeted at professionals who have been out of work for several years.
But privately held assumptions about womens' ability to hold high-pressure jobs while parenting may be holding them back. Women just hold just 4.2% of all Fortune 500 CEO positions, according to the most recent count by Catalyst. Speaking at The Journal's CEO Council in 2011, McKinsey's Managing Director Dominic Barton emphasized that corporate leaders need to change their mindsets when it comes to hiring and promoting women.
Senior executives often wonder, he said, "Can we really risk having a senior woman in this role? What if she leaves? What if she goes and has children?"
"It's never said explicitly, but it's quite implicit in terms of what is happening," he said.

Kristen Stewart confirmed she's back together with Robert Pattinson ... sort of.
Well, she used the collective word "our," anyway.
The "Twilight" star was on Wednesday's "Today Show" to discuss the soon-to-be-released "Breaking Dawn -- Part 2," and was asked the taboo question.
"Fans follow your life and they want to know, are you back together with Robert Pattinson?" Savannah Guthrie asked Stewart, who hasn't talked about Pattinson much since they reconciled in September after breaking up earlier last summer after she was caught messing around with director Rupert Sanders.
"Funny you mention that," she responded. "I'm just going to let people watch whatever little movie they would like to think our lives are, and keep them guessing, I always say."
OMG. They're TOTALLY back together!
The co-stars never really confirmed their three-year relationship until Stewart released a statement following her affair, saying she "jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
Are we sure she wasn't talking about Rob Zombie, or Redford or someone?
We'll keep abreast of all the exciting developments of this story as they develop ... or even if they don't.

2.9-12 When Alternate Juror Empaneled after Deliberations Have Begun
New February 1, 2013
As you know, juror <insert juror number> was excused from the jury, and an alternate juror has been selected to take (his/her) place. Please do not speculate on the reason why the juror was excused.1
Therefore, as of this moment, you are a new jury, and you must start your deliberations over again. The parties have the right to a verdict reached by six jurors who have had the full opportunity to deliberate from start to finish. The alternate juror has no knowledge of any earlier deliberations. Consequently, you must start over at the very beginning of deliberations. Together, as a new jury, you must consider anew all of the evidence and issues presented at trial in reaching your verdict.
1 If the reason for the juror's dismissal is neutral, it is usually best to explain it to the remaining jurors.

Viral clearance steps are essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of biopharmaceutical products. ICH Q5A mandates that the manufacturing process remove or inactivate contaminants based on a process-specific virus clearance strategy. A 20-nm retentive virus removal filter can clear both large and small viruses, but a virus spiking trial is needed to validate the effectiveness of such a step. Virus retention studies were run with three lots of Virosart CPV, a 20-nm polyethersulfone virus filter, over a flow decay range of 0 to 90%. The model virus used was bacteriophage PP7 using Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the target and indicator cell. Four different protein solutions were spiked with PP7 and tested in triplicate runs. The retention goal of 4 log10 was met and exceeded over the entire flow decay profile.
Virus filtration is an established and robust method for effectively reducing a range of viruses within a single stage of the downstream purification process.2 As a part of the purification process of a biopharmaceutical, 20-nm retentive virus removal filters can clear both large and small viruses. A virus spiking trial must be performed to validate the efficiency of these 20-nm filters.3 This article describes trials with a particular 20-nm filter and four different protein solutions.
The ideal virus filter should retain all viruses and allow high protein transmission while maintaining a high flow rate without significant virus breakthrough. However, virus breakthrough seems to be a general phenomenon among current virus filters and it has been suggested that pore plugging causes a decline in the flow rate: "With virus breakthrough a general phenomenon for virus removal filters, one could argue that fouling by contaminants in virus spikes should be minimized so that conditions in filter validation most closely represent those in the manufacturing process."4 Others have shown that the virus reduction capability of some virus removal filters decreases with increasing flux decay.5,6
Although contaminants and other various parameters may be main causes of filter breakdown, some nanofilters still efficiently remove viruses at high Log Reduction Value (LRV) even when experiencing high flow decay. A recent paper outlined the various titer reduction capabilities of virus retentive nanofilters.7 The data showed that not all filters tested for their LRV versus flow decay profile experienced a significant loss of titer reduction with increasing flow decay.
The existing virus filtration technologies available on the market have similarities and differences with respect to the physical parameters that affect small virus retention:
Care should be taken with general statements about virus filter performance and LRV predictions. The filter configuration is not the only factor that influences the overall virus reduction capability. A potential decrease in virus reduction may depend on several factors, including protein concentration, buffer composition, product purity, and plugging mechanism (adsorptive versus pore plugging). The influence of these parameters on the overall flow decay profile of each virus filter has to be examined case by case.
Flow Decay Study Protocol
This article presents virus retention data for Virosart CPV, a 20-nm polyethersulfone (PESU) nanofilter from Sartorius AG (Gottingen, Germany). Different protein types and concentrations have been used to determine LRV versus flux decay profiles. Spiking studies were performed using a laboratory scale model of Virosart CPV (Virosart CPV Minisarts with an effective filter area of 5cm2).

Just as you rely on wild places to rejuvenate and restore you, those places rely on you to keep them in good condition.
Planning a dedicated stargazing trip in wilderness can be fulfilling in its own right – not to mention a unique way to get into wilderness.
Public wildlands give us so much. They provide places for recreation and solitude, clean air and water—even potent symbols for our national identity. If you're looking to give back to these lands, take a look at our list below.
Black History Month is a time to remember and honor the many groups and individuals who contributed to the success and achievements of this country as well as to advancement for African Americans as a people.
These are your public lands, so be sure to make the most of them year-round.
Head south from Yellowstone's geysers and the Tetons' snow-capped peaks and you'll find an entirely different—but equally spectacular—scenic experience in southwest Wyoming's high desert.
This Halloween, you need only venture into wilderness to be chilled to the bone. These scary places are inhabited by a wild beauty, and most by a ghost or two as well. Here are some haunted wild places that are sure to raise some wild hairs:
Autumn's sunny days and cool nights means nature is in rare form. A rainbow of metamorphosing trees awaits you!
Though some of us grapple with a fear of the dark in our formative years, many Americans don't truly know the meaning of the term.
Chronic under-funding has left our nation's trail system in poor shape. Support a bill that would change that.

It's possible to make a case that modern civilization as we know it was built by coffee. In the Middle Ages, people drank wine and beer, pretty much exclusively. Much of the history of medieval Europe makes a lot more sense when you realize it was populated largely by drunk teenagers.
Then Europe discovered caffeine. Boom! The Scientific Revolution. The Enlightenment. The Industrial Revolution. Heavily-caffeinated Europeans built global empires to ensure reliable supplies of tea, coffee, sugar, and chocolate. Without coffee, we'd still be fatalistic drunken peasants.

Coffee was also responsible --and still is-- for exploitation of the poor, in Central America and Africa, so we could also argue that it kept a portion of the third world destitute. Several organizations, such as Coffee Kids (http://coffekids.org), try to remedy this situation by trying to improve the quality of life for these people.ReplyDelete

I recommend that you try Peets or - even better - Kaladi Brothers (from Alaska, and iit is all Dana Stabenow's fault that I am hooked on this brand!!!)

On a rainy November day, police detectives Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein are summoned to a mysterious traffic accident: a woman has fallen from a pedestrian bridge onto a car driving underneath. According to a witness, the woman may have been pushed. The investigation leads Pia and Oliver to a small village, and the home of the victim, Rita Cramer.
On a September evening eleven years earlier, two seventeen-year-old girls vanished from the village without a trace. In a trial based only on circumstantial evidence, twenty-year-old Tobias Sartorius, Rita Cramer's son, was sentenced to ten years in prison. Bodenstein and Kirchhoff discover that Tobias, after serving his sentence, has now returned to his home town. Did the attack on his mother have something to do with his return? In the village, Pia and Oliver encounter a wall of silence. When another young girl disappears, the events of the past seem to be repeating themselves in a disastrous manner. The investigation turns into a race against time, because for the villagers it is soon clear who the perpetrator is - and this time they are determined to take matters into their own hands.

Character-driven, and suspense novels are for me. Not above a good beach read, but keep cheesy romances or poorly written books away.
"Great narrator, unbelievable, never-ending story"
No. I found myself wishing the book would JUST end. It was interminable. When the book got to nearing the end of the first part, at that point I wasn't able to conceive how it would continue another 7 or so hours. Unlikeable characters, truly ridiculous story. Just when the author makes one think it's solved, he throws in another wrench and I found myself saying, "Just stop." I can suspend some disbelief, but this book went way beyond that. Semi-SPOILER: So really, an entire town is corrupt and evil? No one in the town has a conscience or moral compass? And is the reader really supposed to believe that the crimes were all forgotten and that the numerous people involved all kept these secrets for 11 years?
"14" by Peter Clines
He really was wonderful and if it hadn't been for him I wouldn't have finished it at all.
Not read/listen to, another book by this author.
I guess just this is a case of "to each his own." Obviously many, many people enjoyed this book, but I'm not one of them. I enjoy Michael Connelly, Lee Child (not A Wanted Man), John Connolly, Don Winslow, Lincoln Child and John Sanford - maybe if you're reading this and you love those authors too, you will feel the same about this book as I do.
I'll admit that I was really pulled in by the title and a couple of 5 star reviews. I thought "they loved it--I probably will too." But, no, try as I wanted - I barely liked it.
Maybe the problem was the translation, as this is by a German author. Or maybe the narrator, who I found to be very weak overall. I want to give an honest and fair review, so here goes:
The main character, Tobias, is framed for murder and imprisoned for 10 years. Upon his release, he returns to his home town, where almost everyone hates him, and the townsfolk have kind of taken out their anger at his family. Tobias is determined to stay put and help rebuild his life-- but someone isn't happy about it.
The big question is--who framed him and who is trying to get him to leave? There are so many suspects and so many developing story lines, that nothing ever really takes hold. The author throws new twists and turns into each and every sub-plot - it makes it impossible to really care about any of the characters- even the one's who were murdered.
I like to try and figure out "who done it" as I read along in a mystery novel. This one, however, doesn't give the reader any real information to try and develop an answer. Toward the end, new information is brought up which the reader never could have guessed at--so I felt like it was unfair. If you have ever read a mystery where there is suspect 1,2, and 3 all along, and then at the end it is solved with suspect 4--you know what I mean.
The book did have a storyline with a lot of potential--I just felt the author missed an opportunity to make it a real thriller.
"Surprisingly boring"
Probably not. The translation from German to English included an odd combination of German proper names mixed with American slang (e.g. repeatedly referring to prison as "the joint"). This was somewhat annoying, and hurt the flow of the narration. The book itself was surprisingly boring. I liked the concept, but too predictable in many spots.
No great surprise.
Pace of story was plodding, so yes, the narration matched the pace.
"Snow White and the Seven Red Herrings"
You could pick worse...some comfortable hallmarks of an entertaining mystery: nice atmospheric setting, good diverse collection of townsfolk (Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Prof. Plum, Norman Bates...), plenty of motives and secrets, and a likable, handsome, much maligned central character, Tobias...the only character you know is innocent. After a slightly slow beginning, the story builds a bit, but ultimately breaks off into too many irrelevant splinter stories to gain forward momentum; I would get one subplot straight and here would come another, than another, and another--like herding cats. I wouldn't say this is a winner, nor a loser--more of a strong stand in the middle of the moving herd. (And it's a read without too much violence or strong language.)
In fairness ...
Neuhaus is a German writer known for her crime novels. This version of Snow White Must Die is translated into English from the author's native German language, and is the 4th of 6 books in the *Bodenstein/Kirchoff series* (a He and She team of police inspectors). So, we have a translated book, lifted out of choronlogical order. I'm no polyglot, only roughly bilingual, but I have read a few books in both the original language and the translated version, and it's true--sometimes things are lost in translation. I probably will read the next translated book in this series--with the hope that the publishers didn't lift this volume (SWMD) out of order because it was the strongest of the six.
"too long, too confusing, too unbelievable"
For starters how did the main character get convicted when they never found the bodies of the two teenage girls he supposedly killed? Not to mention no one had any idea where these hypothetical murders occurred. I realize that this was set in Germany but I still couldn't get past the lack of evidence that put him away for two years to set up this entire story. Without a body isn't difficult to prove somebody is no longer alive? Let alone that they were murdered.
Beyond that it never got a whole lot better. There were a lot of twists but they never felt clever because it wasn't believable on so many different levels.
"A Disappointment"
After all the awards and write-ups I thought this was going to be very good -- it wasn't. Very slow paced and dull. Too many people, too much detail. I kept wishing a good editor would red line most of it. Don't waste your time or money on this.
"GREAT suspense, smart plot!"
Great pysch thriller! Poor Toby's been dealt a bad hand, but when he gets out of prison for two murders he doesn't remember committing, he expects to be able to start anew. Sorry to say, that's not going to happen...not when another girl ends up dead in this tiny town in Germany, and everyone assumes he's the guilty party. Small town thinking and small town secrets play large in this thriller, and you really can't wait to get to the end. I love Robert Fass' narration, and he does a great job on this police procedural. I don't want to say more and spoil it for anyone . . . !
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"You Get Hooked to The Title"
I knew nothing about this book before.. but when i saw this awesome title I couldn't resist.
I read couple of mystery books before and most of them were a bit predictable.. Not this one, every action went completely different than what I have expected, and I loved the book for that.
During the whole book I was one my toes waiting to know what happened and what will happen, rarely you get such a feeling and anticipation while reading some of the current mystery books here and there.
I wish the book was a bit longer, and I hope that her earlier 3 books will be available soon here in audible, as they were a great success too.
You wont regret reading this book.
"Months later my mind still wandered back to this"
Yes. The variety of characters and motivations for their individual actions kept you guessing.
Tobias - You sympathized with him from the beginning knowing he was wrongfully accused, yet unable to prove it due to his intoxication.
I love books!
"I enjoyed my first German crime writer"
First time author, Nele Neuhaus, a German crime writer. I read somewhere that Stieg Larsson with his "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" series started the Scandnavian rush of crime writers that are becming so popular in the US. That might be the case as I'm reading authors from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and now Germany and I've enjoyed them all. I would include Britain in this group except that, in my opinion, the British invasion of all aspects of our American lives started over 200 years ago so they don't count. But, it seems American publishers are rushing to Europe to discover the best authors, finding good translators for them, and in the case of we that listen to them finding good narrators as well. I didn't really know what to expect with this author. The book was set around Frankfurt so somewhat familiar. In the beginning when the story began to unfold seemed pretty obvious what had happened and who had done it and that's was the case. But then the author begins peeling back the layers of the crime, time after time, where in the end she wrote a really engrossing story that kept my interest, kept me thinking about it when I wasn't reading wondering what was going to happen. The title was pretty catchy as well. I enjoyed it and will look forward to the next one in the series.

The Truckee Freshmen team of the Sierra Youth Football League, made up of 9- and 10-year-olds, celebrated a 44-7 win against the Carson City Senators at River View Sports Park in Truckee this past Saturday.
Truckee went into the game with high hopes coming off two straight wins and sporting a 3-1-1 record.
The Wolverines started off slowly after receiving the ball to start the game. After four plays, Truckee turned the ball over on downs to Carson on their own 28-yard line. Carson moved the ball slowly down field and eventually scored to lead the game 7-0. After taking the ball back on their own 30, Truckee finally got its offense rolling, thanks to a 65-yard touchdown run around the right end by Patrick Hogan. Nathan Bromley added the extra point to knot the score at 7-7.
From this point on the Senators found the goings tough on offense. Truckee's defense led by strong line play from Dylan Lewis, Matthew Villalba, Connor McMullen, Gavin Kelly-Caruthers and Bromley held Carson's offense from making a first down and gave the ball back to the offense.
This time Truckee gave the ball to Drake Rina for a touchdown run of 40 yards up the middle of the offensive line. The offensive line was anchored by strong play from Eric Spillman, Garrett Kirk, Logan Bates, Dylan Kane and Hunter Kacarka. Truckee came up short on the extra point but led 13-7.
The Wolverines would not allow the Senators to score again in the first half. Meanwhile, Truckee's offense was hitting on cylinders with Hogan scoring his second touchdown of the half on a 65-yard run and Kelly-Caruthers running in the extra point to put Truckee ahead 20-7.
Owen Slusher ended the scoring in the first half on a reverse around the right side, giving Truckee a 26-7 lead going into halftime.
The second half was more of the same as Truckee's defense had Carson's offense totally confused. The defense continued to get strong play from defenders Ethan Hatcher, Jordi Brenes, Jesse Meyer, Darrien Sveistrup, Rina, Hogan, Kane and Spillman.
While on offense, Patrick Hogan continued to shred the Senator defense for two more scores, giving the Wolverines a 38-7 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Nathan Bromley ended the scoring for Truckee with a tough run up the middle to make the final score 44-7. This win gives the freshmen three wins in a row and puts their record at 4-1-1 leading into a game this weekend against the Fernley Vaqueros in Truckee.

MONTGOMERY- Secretary of State Beth Chapman wants to remind voters that this Friday, September 7th, will be the cut off for voter registration for the upcoming Special Constitutional Amendment Election on September 18th. Next Thursday, September 13th will be the last day to make an application for an absentee ballot.
"Whatever the election, whatever the issue, we have the right to express our voice with our vote. It is important to go to the polls on any Election Day and exercise that right," Chapman said.
While Alabama citizens can register to vote at their local board of registrars, under federal law they can also fill out and submit voter registration forms at all state and/or county offices that provide public assistance. In Alabama, public assistance offices, such as Medicaid, WIC, and DHR, must distribute voter registration forms, provide assistance in completing the forms if necessary, and accept such forms. These offices must then forward the forms to the local boards of registrars.
Alabamians can also fill out and submit a voter registration form when obtaining or renewing a driver's license or when applying for a library card at any county library and many city libraries.
To find a downloadable voter registration form or absentee ballot application, your polling place or more information about the election on September 18th, please visit www.alabamavotes.gov or call 1-800-274-VOTE.

Among the many outdoor activities our state provides its citizens, hunting continues to remain one of the most popular recreational sports for Missourians. This generational pastime also means a way of life for much of our state's population, relying on each season's hunt in order to put food on the table and provide for families.
But before you embark on your next hunting trip, please take into account the thousands of hunters out in the field who, just like you, hope their fellow hunters are practicing important safety tips while in search for their next trophy find.
Our state's Department of Conservation (MDC) provides hunter education courses for both new and returning hunters. This course is required for any hunter born on or after Jan. 1, 1967. If you plan to hunt during a Missouri firearms season or you are acting as an adult mentor, you are required to first complete an approved hunter education certification program and provide proof of completion, unless you fall under certain guidelines.
Since hunter-safety courses became mandatory in 1987, informed hunters have reduced accidents and deaths out in the field by more than 70 percent. These important courses provide a foundation in hunting safety and ethics, while instilling responsibility, improving upon the skills and knowledge of our avid hunters, and encouraging interaction between beginner and veteran marksmen.
Deer and turkey archery season started this week (Sept. 15) and runs through Nov. 15, as well as Nov. 27-Jan. 15. And dove season started at the beginning of this month and runs through Nov. 9. Don't forget to check permits and regulations regarding each game season. It's important to follow the rules for each hunt, ensuring proper techniques and safety for all who enjoy the sport of hunting in the Show-Me State.
To see a complete list of hunting seasons, learn more about hunting permits and regulations, and read about MCD's updated hunter education courses, visit www.mdc.mo.gov. Please remember to watch out and respect one another by following important hunting-safety guidelines laid out by MDC while you are out in the field. Best of luck to you and happy hunting.

Notices of property valuation for 2013 have arrived, and it is likely you are very happy or very not happy. Yes, the number of sales is low, but what is the method for selecting comps that leads to so much variation. On my block, three houses went up by substantial amounts, while four others went down by substantial amounts. The comps used to arrive at these rates are not the same and in some instances do not even include any of the same properties. Were the choices made at random?

Mayor-elect Dan Clark, City Councilwoman-elect Lori Acton and Sanders will all select their appointments for Planning Commissioner.
In addition, Councilman Jason Patin will need to appoint a replacement for Sanders. Patin appointed Sanders to the commissionafter he was seated on the council in 2010.
In a phone call Wednesday, Sanders said he would need to look into whether or not he would remain on the Planning Commission until Patin appointed a replacement.
In addition to the makeup of a new planning commission, a new replacement will be needed for the RDA Successor Agency Oversight Board.
Clark serves as the oversight board's chair and was appointed by Mayor Ron Carter as one of two appointments.
Tess Sloan, Ridgecrest's assistant finance director, is Carter's other appointment on the six-member board.
Clark has indicated he can and likely will remain seated on the Oversight Board until January.
"There are a couple of things I want to see come to fruition before I leave," Clark said Wednesday. "We've got some unfinished business there."
Clark declined what to say he'd like to see finished.
The Oversight Committee still needs to review the findings of Successor Agency's non-housing due diligence report on Dec. 3 and a Dec. 13 public meeting to adopt the findings.
All six members serve on the board until the Redevelopment Agency wind-down for the city is complete.
Clark said however, that his position on the board remained a strong suggestion by city staff until he got an attorney's input on the matter.
When Clark does step down, the role of chair would fall to Vice Chair Peggy Breeden, who was appointed by the Kern County Board of Supervisors, and elected as vice chair by the board.
Breeden said Wednesday that nothing had been determined yet.
"No matter what, there's definitely going to be a shake-up on the planning commission, city council and Oversight Board," Clark said.

OAKLAND -- A big reason why former Louisville guard Peyton Siva was looking forward to Saturday's predraft workout at the Warriors practice facility was the chance to play in front of another Rick Pitino disciple in Mark Jackson.
"He's one of the all-time great point guards and he played under Coach P also," Siva said of the Warriors coach, who played under Pitino for two years with the New York Knicks. "Just that connection right there."
"It would be great," Siva said of playing for Jackson. "He's great coach and they had a great year this year. It'd be wonderful."
Siva was one of five guards to work out for the Warriors on Saturday. Although the Warriors do not own a pick in the draft, they may need a point guard if soon-to-be free agent Jarrett Jack signs elsewhere.
The 6-foot-1 Siva, projected to be a mid-to-late second round selection in the June 27 NBA Draft, has seen his stock rise thanks to his efforts at the NBA combine last month in Chicago, where he had a vertical leap of more than 41 inches and bench pressed 185 pound 15 times.
Siva is regarded as an exceptional passer and scorer, a solid pick-and-roll player who is quick enough to get to the basket.
"My playmaking ability is pretty much what my calling card is,"said Siva, who has worked out for eight NBA teams so far. "Just showing that I can make plays for others, get others involved."
Siva had a remarkable senior year at Louisville. Along with leading the Cardinals to the national championship, Siva averaged 10.0 points and 5.7 assists per game. The Seattle native was also the Big East Tournament's most valuable player for the second straight year, as he was lauded by Pitino for his defensive work.
"I'm not afraid of anybody, I'm not afraid to speak up. I like to lead by example and by speaking,"Siva said. "I definitely can bring that to any team, but I would know my role as a rookie. Hopefully I can gain that trust being the point guard."

Nun among 3 charged with illegal voting in Ohio
Published: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 7:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 7:12 a.m.
CINCINNATI (AP) — A southwest Ohio nun who voted on behalf of another nun who died before last year's presidential election has been charged with illegal voting.
The Hamilton County prosecutor in Cincinnati said Monday that Sister Marguerite Kloos (kloos) was among three people charged with voting illegally.
Defense attorney Ralph Kohnen (KOH'-nihn) says Kloos was trying to fulfill the wishes of a friend who died before absentee ballots were mailed. He says she'll plead guilty.
Prosecutors say a man faces the same count after he cast a ballot in November for his late wife.
A poll worker also has been charged with eight illegal-voting counts. Prosecutors say she's charged with voting twice in November and voting for other people in various elections.

Middle English (designating a blow with a weapon): variant of dint.
indent from Late Middle English:
Although their meanings have in common an idea of a gap or notch, there are two completely unrelated words indent in English. One, meaning 'to make a dent or impression in', is formed directly from dent (Middle English) 'a hollow made by a blow or pressure', which is a variant form of dint. The other goes back to Latin dens 'tooth', the source of dental (late 16th century) and related words. Its first meaning was 'to give a zigzag outline to', like a set of sharp teeth. The legal term indenture (Late Middle English), 'a legal document, contract, or agreement', is related. Before the days of easy duplication, lawyers would write out the same contract twice on a single piece of parchment or paper. They would then separate the two sections with a serrated or wavy edge and give one to each party. If ever there was a dispute, the fact that the two edges fitted together was proof that they were the same agreement.

Twitter's corporate headquarters are in San Francisco's gritty Tenderloin district.
It's one of the city's most depressed areas. The hope is that the influx of tech workers there will spur a mini-renaissance of a long-neglected neighborhood.
We visited Twitter in March and were given a tour. San Francisco's Tenderloin district remained one of the city's most economically depressed areas for generations.
This building stood vacant for 50 years before Twitter moved its headquarters here.
With a market capitalization of $27 billion, Twitter is altering the Tenderloin from inside this 1937 Art Deco building. Here's the soaring lobby.

In a building this old, home to one of the largest tech companies in the world, classic design and modern technology go side by side.

Moffat County destroyed Summit High's football team Friday in a shutout loss, 33-0.
As the home team celebrating homecoming, Moffat County came onto the field in Craig with a less-than-stellar record, but one that beats Summit's single win with five losses. After Friday's win, the Moffat County Bulldogs own a 3-3 record.
According to the Craig Daily Press, the game was slow to start offensively until Summit running back Nic Berry was stripped of the ball as he fought for yardage, turning the ball over to the Bulldogs. It was the start of many turnovers - including five interceptions and five fumbles - for the Tigers, many of which Moffat County capitalized on.
The win was the largest victory margin for Moffat County this season, according to the Daily Press.
Meanwhile, Summit has been outscored by 127 points in the last five games, which followed the team's sole win at the start of the season, a 21-7 victory over Battle Mountain. Three of this season's six games have been shutout losses, totaling 78 points against the team.
Summit faces Alameda in a 3A Metro-West contest on Friday, attempting to upgrade its record against the 2-4 Pirates.
Summit head coach Dylan Hollingsworth wasn't available for comment.
From junior varsity to varsity, all of Summit High's cross-country runners attending the Englewood Windjammer Invitational Saturday raced their best times.
"It was really cold, too. Despite being 35 degrees and drizzly and cold, everyone ran really fast," head coach Heather Quarantillo said. "It's exactly what we were hoping for. We knew our tough mountain kids would do well with the weather."
In Englewood, freshmen McKenna Ramsay (18 minutes, 57 seconds)and Ruthie Boyd (19:16) became the third- and fourth- fastest Summit County female harrier in history, respectively, Quarantillo said, adding that though Englewood is a fast course, the girls could do even better at the regional competition in Delta on Oct. 17.
Ramsay's and Boyd's respective fourth- and sixth-place finishes helped the team place among the top, finishing third of 28 with 110 points, just three points behind second-place, 5A team Rock Canyon. First place was Grandview High School with 59 points.
Given recent competition and the Tigers' performance in it, Quarantillo is fairly confident her girls' team will qualify for state. League team Battle Mountain attended the Englewood meet, and Summit finished ahead of them, as they have in other races where league competition has appeared.
On the boys' side, Liam Meirow finished sixth in 16:35, his second-fastest time ever, after being knocked down, trampled and recovering to finish the race.
"He would have run faster had that not happened," Quarantillo said, adding that she's reasonably confident Meirow will qualify among the top 15 runners in the 4A Western Slope conference to compete at the state meet. Even so, she's unsure where he sits compared to other teams Meirow hasn't faced yet.
"There's still some great unknown there," Quarantillo said.
Overall, the boys' team placed 18th of 25.
In a four-set win over the Steamboat Sailors, the Lady Tigers' volleyball team proved hard work and perseverance can pay off.
It was a hard-fought win, but a win nonetheless for the team that's struggling through the season with a 4-10 record. Head coach Liz Hughes-Waddick still has high hopes for her team, in which she can see strong talent and who have five matches to make their record right before regionals.
"If the girls continue working hard, playing defense and running our offense, we will be peaking at the right time," Hughes-Waddick said.
Anna Zangari led the match in service aces with six, a huge accomplishment for the senior who was out sick at the start of the season. Freshman Lexi Zangari led the offense at the net with 14 kills, matched by senior Sarah Metzger's 14 kills and no errors - an improvement for Metzger.
Defensively, Anna Zangari led the team with 32 digs. Senior Dakota Mendrick followed with eight.
"Anna's defense helped us to run our offense," Hughes-Waddick said, adding, "This week, we will be working on pressure situations and running a quicker offense. As I said before, this is the time in the season for wins. Our team totals for kills and errors was 73 and 18. This is right where we want to be, hitting at .314."
The Tigers next face Eagle Valley on Thursday, heading to Edwards with a score to settle after Eagle Valley took the Tigers at Summit High in four sets on Sept. 20.
Summit High's girls' rugby team canceled its Oct. 6 game against Regis Jesuit due to illness on the opposing team. Coaches are looking to reschedule the match, but a date hasn't been set.

FRISCO - In April, Summit County Sheriff's Office deputies Daric Gutzwiller and Eric Sipes responded to a medical call and found a man in the midst of a heart attack.
As they began CPR, Gutzwiller realized the man's tongue was obstructing his airway.
Gutzwiller grabbed a pair of pliers and used them to remove the patient's tongue from his mouth, saving the patient's life.
"That night a citizen's life would have surely been lost," Summit County Sheriff John Minor said as he presented Gutzwiller and Sipes with the Life Saving Award for the call. "You give someone else a second chance."
Wednesday morning, Minor, undersheriff Derek Woodman and county commissioners Karn Steigelmeier and Dan Gibbs recognized Gutzwiller, Sipes and all the deputies for their service to the community at the sheriff's office annual inspection and breakfast award ceremony.
"Every day you put on your uniform, you put yourself on the line," Gibbs told the deputies assembled at the Summit County Community and Senior Center. "You not only do that for yourself, you do that for your family members and for everyone in our community. So I just want to say thank you so much."
Minor and Woodman handed out dozens of commendations and awards to deputies for everything from saving civilian lives and breaking up fights to taking down fleeing suspects and solving a homicide case earlier this year.
"Hands down, this is the best group that we have ever had working for the sheriff's office in many, many years," Woodman said Wednesday. "It's very nice to be able to go home and sleep at night knowing full well you guys are doing the job you're supposed to be doing."
A new deputy was sworn in, a retiring deputy recognized and a new design for the sheriff's badge, created by a jail inmate, presented at the ceremony as well.
The inspection of the sheriff's office patrol vehicles and facilities followed the breakfast.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Thursday
Recommended reading from around the Web:
By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
The retirement of Pope Benedict XVI will present the Catholic Church with an issue it hasn't confronted in centuries: What's the proper role for a former pope? [WSJ]
President Barack Obama's State of the Union agenda was a play for the history books, because, as he well knows, much of what he proposed—significantly expanded preschool programs, a battle against climate change, changes in middle-class economics—aren't goals that can be achieved in four years. [Daily Beast]
New America's Kevin Carey (@kevincarey1) hails President Obama's proposal, which has shaken the higher-ed establishment, to create "a new, alternative system of accreditation" to allow institutions other than traditional colleges to to get federal student aid "based on performance and results." Carey hopes the new system will prompt big and, in his view, sorely needed changes in American colleges. [Chronicle of Higher Education]
National Review's Arpit Gupta reviews the long-running academic debate about the costs and benefits of raising the minimum wage in light of President Obama's proposal to boost it to $9 an hour. [National Review]. And here's an alternative view from the Center for Economic Policy & Research.
Oregon's governor, a physician, is leading the state in an ambitious experiment: The state is creating coordinated-care organizations that aim to control escalating Medicaid costs in the next couple of years. Most major health systems in the state have signed on. But Oregon academic physician Eric Stecker warns: "Failure of the Oregon experiment would not only jeopardize health care for vulnerable Oregonians but also call into question the viability of central tenets" of the Affordable Care Act. [NEJM]
It's cool to be Polish. New rules make it easier for foreigners to become citizens. A steady stream are doing so, though only a small fraction of the growing number of new immigrants. Poland apparently has become a location of choice for emigrating Vietnamese. [Rzeczpospolita]
Cornell W. Clayton and Lukas K. McMillan examine the Supreme Court over 40 years and the impact of President Obama's re-election, and conclude that the president is unlikely to alter its ideological balance even if he has the opportunity to fill a seat. [The Forum]
What We're Writing
Thanks to the Supreme Court and Barack Obama's re-election, the Affordable Care Act—"Obamacare" to foes and a few of its friends—isn't going away. The issue now is how it will work. David takes a look at what Paul Keckley, head of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, calls "the four major hanging chads." [Capital | Chart: Calculating Coverage | Map: Exhange or Not?]
Sign of the Times
Minor milestones we've spotted:
The euro-zone economy contracted at a 2.3% annual rate in the fourth quarter, the fifth quarter in a row it has failed to grow. [WSJ]
About 40% of Americans say they are "very religious," meaning religion is an important part of daily life and they attend religious services every week or almost every week, according to a recently released poll conducted in 2012. [Gallup]
Only 44% of U.S. youth believe their post-secondary education improved their job opportunities. [McKinsey]
During the recession, young black men had far higher unemployment rates and lower incomes than young white men, and were less likely to receive unemployment insurance. [Urban Institute]
Unemployment in Greece hits 27%. An average of 887 jobs lost each day in past 12 months. [Ekathimerini]
Evan Bayh has $9,776,125 in campaign funds 25 months after leaving the Senate. [Federal Election Commission]
The dollar bought about 93 yen Wednesday, from about 79 yen in mid-November. [WSJ]

CORRECTION: National Review's Arpit Gupta reviewed the long-running academic debate about the costs and benefits of raising the minimum wage in light of President Obama's proposal to boost it to $9 an hour. A previous version of this post incorrectly said Reihan Salam reviewed the minimum-wage debate.

18-year-old arrested in car theft
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 3:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 3:51 p.m.
An 18-year-old man who allegedly stole a vehicle from Sarasota, was arrested after a pursuit Saturday morning in Manatee County.
A deputy with the Manatee County Sheriff's Office attempted to initiate a traffic stop when he saw the vehicle driven by Shaquan Leverett. A pursuit ensued, according to the sheriff's office.
About 1:15 a.m., Leverett and a passenger in the vehicle fled on foot in the 1500 block of 28th Avenue Drive.
Leverett was located and arrested a few hours later. He's being held on a $3,000 bond at the Manatee County jail for charges of motor vehicle theft and eluding police.

Finding a natural solution
by Stephanie Small
weight loss, lose weight, weight loss tips, easy diets, weight gain, food for thought, 9 weight loss, three sisters nutrition, holistic weight loss, stephanie small, diets, sumo wrestlers, american diets
Stephanie Small is founder of Three Sisters Nutrition, a phone-based practice helping women improve their relationship with food, and blogs for holistic weight loss site 9 Weight Loss.
Are you familiar with Sumo? It's a form of Japanese wrestling, and participants are on the enormous side. Certainly, they eat as much as they can, and drink lots of beer to encourage protruding bellies. However, some of their weight-gaining tricks have to do with how they time their dining. Here are two of their most important practices:
1. Skip breakfast. Sumo wrestlers know that in order to keep their metabolism low, they should overlook this important meal and proceed directly to lunch.
2. Overeat at night. By consuming a large, late dinner and then going directly to sleep, Sumos challenge their digestion and ensure more of their feast is stored as fat.
Is the typical American so different from a Sumo wrestler?
1. Skip breakfast. Check. Many of us eliminate it entirely, or start our day with sugar and carbs. Either way this sets us up for a blood sugar spike, followed by a drop. This is a recipe for weight gain.
2. Overeat at night. Check. We're accustomed to eating small breakfasts, average-sized lunches and large dinners. Also, we tend to socialize around dinner. Going out to eat usually encourages increased consumption. After our sizeable evening meals, most of us sit on the couch and watch TV or surf the Internet. Not unlike our Sumo friends, we overeat—and then sit still.
Tip #4: Eat enough, and eat at the right times of day.
Interested in exiting the ring and hanging up your belt? I bet you are. I don't care if you're eating the healthiest diet in the world—if your timing's off, your weight will be too. Here are a couple of non-negotiable steps you must take to improve your metabolism and encourage weight loss:
1. Eat regularly. Eating small amounts every three to four hours ensures blood sugar stability. That's ideal. But if you're coming from the Sumo wrestler diet, going from two big meals per day to five small ones is an extreme step.
Let's start with the basics: Eat three meals per day. Meals should be no more than five hours apart. Eat within an hour of when you wake up. Have lunch four to five hours after that, and dinner four to five hours after that. Then take a stroll around your neighborhood after dinner instead of sitting on the couch.
Some people coming off the Sumo diet have difficulty with this step. Their metabolism has slowed so much that they're just not hungry at all until noon. Here's what I tell them: Eat something. Preferably, eat something protein-dense to break the blood sugar spike. If your first several breakfasts consist of nothing more than a handful of nuts or a hardboiled egg, at least you're heading in the right direction.
2. Eat breakfast like a queen, lunch like a princess, and dinner like a pauper. Another gem from my holistic nutrition professor. It's completely different from how most Americans eat. But stuffing your stomach and then lying down makes your poor body work too hard while you're supposed to be sleeping. Digestion then becomes inefficient. Also, if your metabolism's slowed to the point where you're not hungry in the morning, following this prescription will ensure you're ravenous upon rising.
Do you find yourself in front of your cabinet at 9 pm? A few scenarios could explain your hunger pains:
1. You're not eating enough during the day
2. You're eating for reasons other than physical hunger.
3. What you're eating during the day doesn't contain enough nutrients.
I could write an entire book on each one of these, so for more information, check out my blog, 9 Weight Loss, or my website, Three Sisters Nutrition.
Now you're set to say sayonara to the Sumo diet. Join us next week for my final weight loss tip. Hint: I'll tell you the three foods you must avoid in order to drop the pounds.
