More U.S. Teens Try E-Cigarettes, Hookahs: Report
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Nov. 14 (HealthDay News) -- The rapidly growing use of electronic cigarettes, hookahs and other smoking alternatives by middle school and high school students concerns U.S. health officials.
While use of these devices nearly doubled in some cases between 2011 and 2012, no corresponding decline has been seen in cigarette smoking, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.
"We have seen, between 2011 and 2012, a big increase in the percentage of middle- and high-school students who are using non-conventional tobacco products, particularly electronic cigarettes and hookahs," said Brian King, a senior scientific adviser in CDC's office on smoking and health.
These products are marketed in innovative ways on TV and through social media, he said. "So, it's not surprising that we are seeing this increase among youth," he added.
E-cigarettes and hookah tobacco come in flavors, which appeals to kids. And since hookahs are often used in groups, they also provide a social experience, which may be adding to their popularity, King said.
Teens may also believe that e-cigarettes are safer than tobacco, said Stanton Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco. However, nicotine is addictive and can hamper the developing brains of teens.
"This paper shows that the return of nicotine advertising to TV and radio, combined with an aggressive social media presence and use of flavors is promoting rapid uptake of electronic cigarettes by youth," said Glantz.
The report, based on data from the 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey, was published in the Nov. 15 issue of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
King said efforts are needed to curb use of these tobacco products and prevent other teens from ever trying them. "We know that 90 percent of smokers start in their teens, so if we can stop them from using tobacco at this point, we could potentially prevent another generation from being addicted to tobacco," King noted.
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, killing more than 1,200 people every day.

10 Ways To Entertain a Grumpy BabyRoni
I've come back from the trenches of Grumpville bearing an arsenal of baby distraction techniques.
Here are my favorite ways to entertain a grumpy baby…
Take a walk 1 of 10Strap the baby on or in a stroller and hit the streets. The fresh air will do you both good!
Reach for a Snack 2 of 10Let the baby explore new texture and tastes. It may snap them out of a mood for a little while at least.
Blast the Radio and Dance 3 of 10It's hard to be grumpy when Aretha Franklin is belting out R.E.S.P.E.C.T
Shift Nap Time 4 of 10Don't fight it. Sometimes grumpy=tired Go with it.
Go Shopping 5 of 10Babies like to people watch too.
Picture From: http://commons.wikimedia.org/
Wear and Work 6 of 10Sometimes just wearing baby while doing mundane chores is all it takes.
Picture From: http://www.buildingmoxie.com/
Take a Bath 7 of 10Warm water. Lots of toys. It's gotta work!
Introduce a Non-Toy Toy 8 of 10For some reason --and I really like someone to explain this to me -- non toys work better than toys for distracting baby. Wooden spoons, whisks, tupperware tops, plastic spoons, anything he thinks he can't have will make him happy for at least a little while.

Try a new Game 9 of 10
Hand Him Off 10 of 10When all else fails hand the baby off and let someone else deal for a little while. ;)

Jackson, Miss. Mississippi's 3rd white-tailed deer gun hunting season will open Dec. 24 and continue through Jan. 22. Hunting with dogs is allowed during this season. Legal deer include either-sex on private lands and legal bucks only on open public lands.
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks urges hunters to follow all safety rules to avoid hunting and firearm-related accidents.
When hunting deer during any gun season, a hunter must wear in full view at least 500 square inches of solid unbroken fluorescent orange. This requirement does not apply while the hunter is in a fully enclosed deer stand.
All persons born on or after January 1, 1972, are required to complete a hunter education course before purchasing a Mississippi hunting license. Each resident of Mississippi age 16 through 64, must obtain a hunting license, except while hunting on lands titled in his/her name. Any resident 65 or older, or any resident otherwise exempt from obtaining a hunting license, must have documentation with him/her at all times while hunting. All non-resident hunters, except minors under the age of 16, are required to obtain a hunting license while hunting in the state of Mississippi. In addition to any required hunting license, purchase of a Wildlife Management Area User Permit is required prior to hunting on any Wildlife Management Area.

Monday night, after getting my two young kids fed and to bed, I sat down at my computer and clicked on a Facebook link announcing the news that Marissa Mayer, the new Yahoo CEO, was pregnant. My first thought? You go, girl!
And then I read this quote from Mayer: "My maternity leave will be a few weeks long and I'll work throughout it." And I gasped. Literally.
I am a conscientious objector in the mommy wars. I happen to be a full-time working mother of a daughter who is 4 ("and three-quarters!" she will tell you) and a 7-month-old son who started day care this week. But a mother's choice to stay home with her kids is something I admire and in some ways envy.
So the thought of Mayer's looming balancing act -- pressure-cooker job, healing from childbirth, getting to know her newborn son, making the transition from couple to family -- makes me positively ache for her.
I can't reconcile my gut reaction with what my head tells me: that women, particularly those as obviously extraordinary as Mayer, can do whatever they choose, and do it well. And it's not as if I think Mayer should refuse the job.
But maybe that's the point. Motherhood makes you understand more deeply than ever that your head isn't always the best arbiter of what's possible -- or right.
I know plenty of accomplished moms, and while none is a CEO of a gigantic tech company, many have big responsibilities. Not one thought her months-long maternity leave was too lengthy. All were still discombobulated, sleep-deprived and confused -- if not clinically depressed -- when they went back to work.
Before going on my first maternity leave five years ago, I had no idea what was coming. I was the sports editor here at the time, and at my going-away party, I remember telling the staff I was looking forward to reading the newspaper each morning with fresh eyes, not knowing beforehand what would be in it or what choices were made to plan it. My boss at the time, a relatively new dad, burst out laughing at the thought of me having the time to do that.
Of course Mayer is different from most of the moms you or I know. She will have nannies and housekeepers. She won't have to entertain a preschooler while simultaneously trying to get her newborn to nurse without causing her excruciating pain -- and then get dinner on the table. She won't have to make the daily choice: I have time to shower or eat -- which is more important? And she's clearly possessed of an ambition that allows her to accomplish loads more than I could ever dream.
But even given those advantages, she will struggle emotionally with being a new mother, just like everyone else. She will be doing that just three months after taking over as a high-profile CEO of a company in crisis. And realistically, she won't be able to take any time for herself.
Marissa Mayer has a tough road ahead. I will be cheering for her, and aching for her, every step of the way.

Challenge Software for Written Works
RedBubble should build challenge software for written works
We have challenges for many of the artists on RB but we are unable to set up a challenge giving our writers an opportunity to showcase their work.

BabyM2 commented
Yes Yes YES
solareclips~Julie Alexander commented
Yup, this needs to be resolved!!! I host a group that would love to be able to run more writing challenges, but the current method can be a bit difficult to explain to people. Adding your written work as an image file makes the challenge about the background that your writing is on, and less about the penned word!
RebeccaWeston commented
Yes!!!! We definitely need writing only challenges, it's very unfair.
abigcat commented
I'll vote for this :-))
pegesus commented
for some of us who are only writers, particularly, if you are a poet, that your words are not as valuable as an artist or photographer. i love pictures, and i write to fit the picture or vise versa....but i also write just for the love of writting without using graphics...just expressing my feelings or stories....but im finding people tend to read my words only when there is a graphic to get their attention....how sad that the written word has come to this....yes RB writers deserve to be recognised for their own abilities as well.
Maree Cardinale commented
Yes, it should already be in place. Why isn't it RB? It looks like people have been asking for this for awhile.
Matt Roberts commented
This issue shoudn't even need to be voted on! This is ridiculous!
Matt Roberts commented
Yay for writing-only challenges!!!
Maralyn, it's a perversion and a slap in the face of writers!
MaralynSpeaking commented
I don't understand why I can't find Writing Challenges as a SPECIFIC category. Creating a .jpg title page for a non-art challenge is a perversion. I'd like a way to clearly identify what Challenge a writing work is created for so that browsers of one's portfolio will know the context of its creation.
Ann Warrenton commented
I know, we can only hope RB can get a setup for challenge's soon.
@Flowers, there have been some work arounds like you suggest but ultimately until writers have both a challenge system and a market on RedBubble they are second class citizens. Using the photograph method does not present the poem to the voters unless they click through.
Ann Warrenton commented
Yes, a program would be nice for written works. In the meantime any group can do challenges for written works like we do in "Featured Writers".
Put a link in a picture and post the picture in the challenge. That may help some of you while we wait for a program. :)
Russell Holder commented
It would be nice to see RB actively attempting to aid support of the groups, that in turn support RB, and everything that has come about by involvement within the construct of RB. Responding to such a request is to ensure a working nature between the groups, contributors and Administrators is activity continuing in a forward manner, and keeping it functional should be the goal all along. Aid for those who in turn aid you! Since I'm hoping to start a group, myself, with RB approval... to see a minor request such as this resolved would truly convey a supportive reaction to a desire to make this more functional. I thank you.

How Old the Pyramids?
The ancient pyramids of Egypt are some of the oldest free standing buildings on Earth. They have intrigued us for centuries and some still hold many secrets. The pyramids were built so perfectly that it has driven some nonscientists to wonder if humans could have done it at all, or whether there might have been some help from beyond Earth. In fact, there was help from beyond Earth, but not in the form of aliens, in the form of what we call the Big and Little Dippers.
Two mysteries that plagued early Egyptologists were how and why the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids so perfectly aligned north/south.
The answer to why they did it came first. The ancient Egyptians were obsessed with the afterlife and spent a good portion of their lives preparing for it. Death was even more important to the pharaohs. It was believed that when the pharaohs died they became stars in the northern sky. In fact, the stars of the Big dipper's bowl are called the sons of Horus, who was the earliest royal god who took the shape of a falcon. By aligning the pyramids in which the pharaohs were buried, was believed to give them deceased direct access to the northern sky to which they would travel.
The answer to how the pyramids were aligned would have to wait much longer for an answer but we have a very good theory which, with further study, could prove to be the answer. The ancient Egyptians did a lot of sky watching and much of their lives were governed by the stars. Could they have used the stars to help build the pyramids?
The first thing to do is to look at the night sky of ancient Egypt, because it looks quite different from the current night sky because of precession. The Earth rotates like a top, and the axis spins out a little circle in the sky, the result of which is that the axis does not always point to the same place in the sky. This means that while Polaris is our "north star" now because it is very close to our celestial north pole, Polaris was not the pole star in ancient Egypt. The little and big dippers did circle each other back then, but they were both about equidistance from the celestial north pole. But at a certain time, two stars, one in the little dipper and one in the big dipper, would be right on top of each other, aligned with the north pole. So, the pyramid builders could hold a plumb line straight through the two stars and the north pole, thus enabling them to align the pyramids to the north/south.
So what scientists had to do was figure out just when the stars would be in the correct position to allow that alignment. It was accepted that the pyramids are at least 4000 years old, so that could be used as a starting point to shorten the hunt. And indeed, it was found that around 2475BC, the Big and Little dippers were in the required position to allow a north/south alignment. The accepted error is plus or minus 25 years.
This theory, if correct would also explain the various inaccuracies in the alignments of the pyramids built before and after 2475BC. If the pyramid builders continued to use these two stars as a plumb line, and they likely did, precession would have changed the accuracy. This would make the alignments slightly off on other pyramids depending on just when it was built.

Sixth Former CCI Exec Pleads Guilty In Foreign Bribery Case
A former director of international sales for industrial valve manufacturer Control Components Inc. pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating a U.S. foreign bribery law.
Paul Cosgrove admitted he violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in federal district court in Santa Ana, Calif. The plea is the latest to come out a of a long-running corruption investigation into CCI, which makes service control valves for energy projects, and company executives.
Cosgrove, 65, faces up to 15 months in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 27.
Cosgrove was charged along with five other former CCI executives in April 2009 in connection with an alleged bribery scheme. Two other CCI executives were also charged in a related matter in 2009.
Prosecutors alleged that Cosgrove violated the FCPA, which prohibits bribes to foreign officials to win business, and other charges in connection with a sprawling, global bribery scheme to win contracts for Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.-based CCI. Cosgrove only pleaded guilty to one count of violating the FCPA on Tuesday.
So far, five former CCI executives have pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the alleged scheme. CCI pleaded guilty in July 2009 to violating the Travel Act, which prohibits commercial bribery, and the FCPA. The company paid an $18.2 million criminal penalty and agreed to implement rigorous internal controls.
CCI admitted to bribing officers and employees of state-owned and privately owned customers in more than 30 countries including China, Korea, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, according to court documents. Prosecutors frequently consider officials of state-owned companies to be foreign officials under the FCPA. The corrupt payments netted CCI $46.5 million in sales, according to court documents.
Cosgrove previously pleaded not guilty and was scheduled to go trial on June 26. But last week he indicated in court papers that he would change his plea. It is unclear why he decided to plead guilty.
Charges are still pending against two other former CCI executives: David Edmonds and Han Yong Kim. Edmonds is also scheduled to go to trial on June 26. Kim's trial date has not been set.

Silence is a form of partisanship
In this watershed year, 2012, many of us citizens who strive to be nonpartisan are forced into a dilemma: To remain silent is to remain partisan.
We confide to our European counterparts that this year resembles Germany at the rise of Nazism in 1933. Today, with the rise of militant materialism deliberately following the selfish and atheistic principles of Ayn Rand, one political party had been taken over by Big Energy merchants of doubt and confusion.
This group, with arrogance stemming from millions and billions of dollars of under-taxed bank accounts here and abroad, seeks to buy this national election, just as it has bought the recent primary.
Read our new blog series, La Iglesia Hispana, focusing on Hispanic Catholics, the church's new emerging majority.
These arrogant powerbrokers have partisanized a national unified environmental stance that since the First Earth Day has, for the greater part, stood beyond politics.
A comparison of the energy platform of the Republicans in 2008 and 2012 shows this shocking turn of events:
Four years ago, concerning climate change, their platform said that common sense dictates taking reasonable steps to reduce any impact on the environment:

Researchers used United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization data to study the connection between sugar availability in the diets of different populations and type 2 diabetes rates in those groups. They determined availability of six different food categories—sugars, fibers, fruits, meats, cereals, oils, and total food—in calories per person per day, in 175 different countries, for a ten-year period from 2000 to 2010.
Other factors that may affect type 2 diabetes rates, such as how much of a population is rural versus urban, and average levels of income, age, sedentary behavior, and extra weight or obesity were studied as well. The researchers found:
No other foods were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes.
The study is observational, so it can't prove cause and effect. Still, the results suggest too much sugar can damage health. Dr. David Katz, MD Director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center notes, "A direct link between sugar and diabetes stands to reason." Adds Marion Nestle, PhD, nutrition and public health professor at New York University, "It shouldn't surprise anyone that eating a lot of sugar is bad for your health."

Although extensive experimental studies have been made of the effects of ligation of the coronary arteries, apparently no review of the effects of exercise following experimental cardiac infarction has been made.
Knowledge of the effects of exercise at varying intervals after ligation should give information that could be transferred to the treatment of human beings. Accordingly a series of experimentally produced infarcts in dogs was studied as to the effects of regulated exercise.
Kolster1 observed dogs living seventeen months after ligation of the ramus descendens anterior. Miller and Matthews2 kept dogs alive for ninety days after ligation of the left coronary artery.

Carbon Capture and Storage Project Seeks Carbon Dioxide Storage Site
The FutureGen Industrial Alliance announced on October 25 that it is seeking proposals from communities that would like to host the carbon dioxide storage site for the FutureGen 2.0 project, the first commercial-scale coal-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage. For the project, Ameren Energy Resources, the Babcock & Wilcox Company, and Air Liquide Process & Construction will retrofit Ameren's 200-megawatt coal-fired Unit 4 in Meredosia, Illinois, with advanced oxy-combustion technology. The technology involves burning the coal with a nearly pure oxygen stream to produce a flue gas consisting mainly of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Removing the water vapor results in a concentrated stream of carbon dioxide, which can be sequestered in a geologic formation. See the process description from DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
The plant's new boiler, air separation unit, and carbon dioxide purification and compression unit will capture 90% of the unit's carbon dioxide emissions while eliminating most of the emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, mercury, and particulates. The Ameren team estimates retrofitting of the plant will create approximately 500 construction jobs and allow Ameren to add approximately 50 workers to the plant staff once the retrofitted unit is operational. DOE announced its support of the project in August, and in late September formally committed $1 billion in funding from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to help build the project. DOE is working with the FutureGen Industrial Alliance, which consists largely of coal suppliers and energy companies. See the DOE press releases from August and September.
The published guidance and the request for site proposals show how the future coal-fired power industry might work. The alliance knows that a deep geologic saline formation underlies the State of Illinois, providing the best local option for geologic storage of the carbon dioxide. The intent is to create a regional storage site and build a pipeline from the Ameren plant to the site. This regional hub must accept 1.3 million metric tons (MMT) of carbon dioxide from the Ameren plant each year for the next 30 years, for a total of about 39 MMT. To allow other sources to use the hub, its minimum capacity must be 100 MMT. It has the possibility of expanding to 500 MMT.
For the initial test site, the alliance is requiring sufficient access to land areas above the anticipated carbon dioxide plume to allow for monitoring, noting that a 100-MMT plume will probably underlie about 2,400 acres of land. This plume must lie entirely within Illinois; cannot be under a public access area, such as a park; and cannot be beneath a major body of water. Proposals are due by November 15, and the alliance expects to select a site in early 2011. Extensive technical and environmental studies will follow to assure the site's safety and suitability. See the alliance Web site, press release, site guidance, and request for proposals.

Noda Risks Party Rupture in Push to Pass Japan's Sales Tax Bill
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's attempt to craft a deal to raise the consumption tax risks rupturing his party three years after it ended half a century of one-party rule.
Noda has staked his political career on passing a law that would double the tax to 10 percent by 2015. The resurgence of ruling Democratic Party of Japan powerbroker Ichiro Ozawa, an opponent of the bill, threatens to thwart Noda's efforts to reach a compromise with the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party that lawmakers from both sides say is possible.
"All Mr. Noda wants is to raise taxes, so he may go ahead and join up with the LDP," said DPJ legislator Yuko Mori, a member of Ozawa's group who resigned from her position as a vice minister over the bill. "That would be unacceptable and I would fight it with all my might."
Failure to reach a deal could cripple efforts to fund soaring welfare costs and curb a rising debt burden that Fitch Ratings cited May 22 in cutting Japan's sovereign rating. With voters upset over the pace of rebuilding from last year's earthquake, an impasse could hurt both parties and open the way for a third force ahead of elections that must be held by August 2013.
"All the prime ministers who increased the consumption tax weren't around three or four months after the tax increase went through," said Jesper Koll, head of equity research at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Tokyo. "Noda deserves some credit for putting his political career on the line."
Fitch reduced Japan's local-currency rating one level, citing the "political risk" of doubling the tax. The same day, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said the country's debt could exceed 220 percent of gross domestic product next year, and that raising the levy is a "top priority."
Bond Yields
Concerns over the situation have yet to push government bond yields higher as Europe's debt crisis lures investors to safe assets. Japan's 10-year bond yields fell to 0.815 percent on May 18, the lowest in almost nine years. The rate traded at 0.870 percent late yesterday in Tokyo.
Ozawa, who was acquitted last month of violating campaign finance laws, and his followers say the bill contradicts the platform under which the party swept to power and could fail in its aim of increasing tax revenue if it prompts consumers to cut spending. As the No. 2 official in the DPJ, he engineered the party's August 2009 ousting of the LDP from half a century of rule.
Voters are split on the consumption tax. About 50 percent oppose the plan, while 40 percent back it, according to a Nikkei newspaper poll published April 23. Noda's popularity was at 27 percent, down from 67 percent in September when he became Japan's sixth prime minister in five years. The newspaper surveyed 924 people and provided no margin of error.
Middle Ground
The DPJ dispute comes as LDP leader Sadakazu Tanigaki has signaled a willingness to find a middle ground. At the same time, he has questioned whether the prime minister can fend off a revolt in his own party.
"Is Mr. Noda going to put party unity first, give in to Ozawa and delay the bill because a vote would cause friction?" Tanigaki said May 9 on Fuji Television. "Or is he willing to risk a party split by facing up to this debate?"
Democratic Party lawmakers who favor the legislation say they could agree with some LDP proposals in order to pass it. What they won't swallow is Tanigaki's call for Noda to dissolve parliament in exchange for backing the tax increase, as a snap election would probably hurt both parties. The Nikkei poll put support for the LDP at 25 percent and for the Democrats at 23 percent.
"The Democrats must on no account call an election," DPJ legislator Yukio Ubukata said in an interview. "We would lose half, or perhaps even two-thirds of our seats."
Osaka's Hashimoto
An election also raises the possibility of a third party taking seats from both the LDP and DPJ. Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, who has led opposition to the government's attempt to restart nuclear power plants in western Japan, is expanding his One Osaka party to gain national support.
"All existing political parties are on trial," former DPJ Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said May 19 on TV Tokyo. "If there was an election now, I think it would be a massive victory for Hashimoto."
The bill would raise the consumption tax from 5 percent to 8 percent in April 2014 and to 10 percent in October 2015. Noda is seeking a vote in the current parliamentary session, which is set to end June 21, though it could be extended.
Noda also faces another deadline when the DPJ in September meets to either re-elect him or choose another party leader. Senior DPJ lawmaker and former Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii said a deal must get done regardless of Ozawa's objections.
"If we don't, Japan's economic situation will not be stable," Fujii said in an interview. "Funding social security with debt and more debt doesn't make for security."

ADL Assists in OC White Supremacists Arrest
Orange County authorities arrested two white supremacist leaders this week, and charged them with having bomb-making materials in 1999, including enough gasoline – 50 gallons worth – to blow up the Anaheim apartment building in which they lived.
The Nov. 18 arrests were the results of an ongoing partnership between the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and law enforcement, "in monitoring these people and the extremists groups that they belong to," said Sue Stengel, ADL Western States counsel.
Authorities searching the apartment of Christine Greenwood, 28, and her live-in boyfriend, John Patrick McCabe, 23, also found razor blades, BB pellets, nails, battery-operated clocks that could be used as timers and a shopping list of bomb-making materials. Authorities said that the couple did not appear to have a specific target.
"ADL knows that these individuals have recruited, held meetings and hosted white power concerts in Orange Country for the past several years. As many as 150 people have been known to attend some of the these events, which serve to indoctrinate attendees into lives dedicated to hate," said Joyce Greenspan, director of ADL's Orange County/Long Beach region.
Greenwood was active in Women for Aryan Unity and organized a clothing drive for racist families. Both were among Southern California's most active and influential white supremacists, according to the ADL.
A third suspect, John Frederick Steele II, 29, was charged with perjury and falsifying financial statements required by his probation officer. Steele is the leader of California's Aryan Nations chapter, known as the Brandenburg Division. A search of Steele's home on Monday turned up a letter urging for white supremacists to align themselves with Palestinian extremists and target Jews.
The three were being detained in the Orange County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.
"We've been working for several months on this case," Stengel said. "Once we knew that there was going to be one or more arrests, we encouraged the Orange County D.A.'s office, which played an enormous role in capturing them, to hold a press conference announcing the arrests. The public really had a need and a right to know that there were white supremacists were active in the Orange County area."
Meanwhile, in Northern California, white supremacist Benjamin Williams was found dead Sunday in his Shasta County Jail cell while serving time for torching three synagogues and awaiting trial for allegedly killing a gay couple.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Williams, 34, was discovered dead, with cuts to his legs and arms, after he didn't respond to a call for breakfast at around 6:30 a.m., said Redding Police Sgt. Dan Kupsky. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death, police said. – Staff Report
Fund Helps Disabled Girls Attend Day School
With the help of Etta Israel's Ner Shoshana Fund, six developmentally disabled girls are now attending Bais Yaakov, an Orthodox girls' high school in Los Angeles. The yeshiva is serving as the first host school to this new program, which was named for Shoshana Greenbaum, a New York and Los Angeles day school teacher who was a victim in the Sbarro pizza restaurant bombing in Jerusalem on Aug. 9, 2001.
Due to their limitations, the teens had no choice but to attend public school, as there was no day school program that could accommodate them.
"The [girls'] parents are in tears every day," said Dr. Michael Held, the director of the Etta Israel Center. "They can't believe [the girls] are in a Jewish day school."
In addition to regular academic subjects, the students are offered classes like art therapy, music therapy, dance and physical education.
Students in the regular Bais Yaakov program have been reaching out to their new friends by visiting them in their new classroom and Etta Israel hopes to create other Ner Shoshana programs at other host schools. "It's very inspiring," Held said. "Instead of defensive isolation in a yellow school bus, these students get to interact with other kids." – Sharon Schatz Rosenthal, Education Writer
Jewish Home Holds Walk of Ages III
Let's hope the nice weather holds. On Dec. 8, the Jewish Home for the Aging (JHA) is holding "Walk of Ages III," their third-annual 5k walk/run. Proceeds from the event will be used toward new and upgraded facilities for JHA, which celebrated its 90th anniversary in April.
Last year, participants raised $170,000 to benefit JHA, and this year's goal is to pass the $200,000 mark, according to Walk chairman Shelly Markman. He said he was a little worried about the economy's affect on fundraising, but he has been pleasantly surprised by the amount of money already raised – $120,000 at press time. The event is being sponsored by a huge slate of local businesses and organizations including Wells Fargo, Encino-Tarzana Regional Medical Center and B'nai B'rith.
Actor Jon Voight is the honorary chair and 104-year-old Sylvia Harmatz, JHA's oldest resident, will reprise her role as grand marshal.
Western Bagel and Big Chill Yogurt will be there with refreshments for Walk participants, and there will be a drawing for a trip to Hawaii, with each walker eligible for one ticket per every $500 they raise, to be held at a special dinner in January for major fundraisers.
For registration, call (818) 774-3100 or visit www.walkofages.kintera.org . – Wendy Madnick, Contributing Writer

for sure the classroom's pet hamster
Hamsters are nice, safe pets. Never had one myself. Had an iguana though.
I dunno, I'll bet she let him get one to make up for not being there for him.
sorry, no reptiles or rodents in my house. Rodents are reptile or carnivorous fish food – I really don't want the family dog or cat getting sick by trying to eat it.
Almost the only time a school pet is introduced into a story line is if its going to escape and create havoc at best, or die.
Just sayin'.
poor hamster
I always wanted an iguana, so I could name him "Don."
Had iguanas, snakes, & geckos. I can tell you, reptiles are BORING pets. They just sit on their heat rock all day. They might as well be plastic!
Definitely getting the class pet if she's picking him up at school. Should be a fun week with Farley too!
Oh please. So if you are late in picking up your child, then you should get them a pet? If so, then don't wonder why so many pets are abandoned each year. That's quite a leap.
most parents wind up taking care of pets anyway.
Great. The hamster episode is what my local paper ran with two weeks ago instead of what was here. Now I get two weeks of reruns.
Lynn's Notes:
Monique was a sweet young woman who won a trip to Lynn Lake to meet me, on a show called Thrill of a Lifetime. I was the "thrill!" Part of the arrangement was that she would see herself in the comic strip and receive an original drawing. Because our encounter had been so short and I had done just one drawing for the show (a Sunday page), I decided to include her as one of the library staff. I never heard from her, but I hoped she enjoyed her brief appearances.
We had hamsters when my son was little. We bought two females so we wouldn't have any more, and wouldn't you know, one of them was pregnant. We sold the babies back to the pet store. The only thing wrong with hamsters as pets is that their cage smells. No matter how often you clean it, it just plain stinks. And if you have Habitrails with lots of tubes, they are almost impossible to keep clean.
The only pets ever to bite me were hamsters. Twice. And with those long sharp teeth, the bites are very deep. Hamsters are not the best pet for kids. They are nocturnal, and are actually very fragile animals.
As to route66paul – why would your dog or cat get sick eating a pet rodent? Why would they eat a pet rodent? I have 3 dogs and a cat, and they don't eat my 3 rats or my guinea pig. If they did, it wouldn't make them sick!
He must be taking care of the class pet. She is picking him up with the hamster, not shopping for one. Lucky kid won't be left out in the snow this time anyway.
Hope Michael takes better care of the hamster than he sometimes does Farley (remember him maliciously squirting that poor dog in the face with a water hose last summer?).

Build of 5.1p1 fails on SCO OSR6 with the error:
UX:acomp: ERROR: "addrmatch.c", line 100: undefined struct/union member: sin6_scope_id
configure checks for presence of struct sockaddr_in6 and uses the system
declaration if found (via #define HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_IN6 in config.h)
If not found, the struct is declared in openbsd-compat/fake-rfc2553.h.
OSR6 has struct sockaddr_in6 but it does not include the sin6_scope_id
member. The declaration in fake-rfc2553.h does include this member,
which is referenced in addrmatch.c.
So the problem seems to be, openssh erroneously assumes the presence of
sin6_scope_id if struct sockaddr_in6 is present. This isn't true on
OSR6 (and maybe others??).

A mother and her young child have been transported to the hospital after being struck by a truck at the corner of 13th and Orchard in Grand Junction.
11News has a crew on scene who says an accident involving a white Pontiac Grand AM and a Toyota Tundra caused the Tundra to go up onto the sidewalk striking the mother and her infant child as she was walking.
The force of the impact sent both mother and child over a four-foot fence and both have been taken to the hospital. The extent of their injuries is unknown.
The drivers of both vehicles appear to be uninjured. The westbound lanes of Orchard Avenue in the vicinity are closed.

I agree with all the other posts about not being able to positively
identify turquoise from a picture. I have a small stash of natural
(untreated, undyed, unanythinged) Morenci, Az. turquoise and the
difference between pieces is huge, both in color and matrix pattern
even though they all come from the same area. That being said, if I
had to guess at your piece, It looks a great deal like some Chinese
Turquoise I have, both color and matrix pattern. My opinion only.

Pujols Plays Chicken With the Cardinals
Perhaps it was because football had overshadowed it. Maybe it's due to many of us not ready to acknowledge that pitchers and catchers report in about a week. There's always the chance that nobody cares. For whatever reason, the Albert Pujols contract drama in St. Louis has been vastly underplayed outside Missouri, and many casual baseball fans are going to have a little catching up to do in order to understand the gravity of what's going to happen over the next week. Pujols, a three-time MVP and nine-time All-Star in his 10 seasons, is playing in the final year of his contract. He's set a Feb. 16 deadline to sign a new deal. He is expected to make about $16 million this year and is in search of a hefty raise. Carlos Zambrano, Jayson Werth, and Barry Zito all have an annual contracts worth more than Pujols's. He wants to stay in St. Louis but is not happy that the Cardinals are taking this long to offer him a contract and wants a contract that pays him what he's worth.
"All indications suggest," Yahoo's Tim Brown wrote on Tuesday, "that Pujols and the team that drafted him a dozen years ago are not close to an agreement, and that eight days won't be time enough to negotiate and consummate not only the richest contract in club history, but possibly the richest in the history of the game." Brown later goes over numbers that three prominent baseball sites suggested Pujols is worth. HardballTimes.com had Pujols at $275 million over 10 years, FanGraphs.com had him at $267 million over 10 years, and Sabernomics.com thought he was worth $350 million over eight years.
"For those who are nervous because they're scared the Cardinals will devote so much money to Pujols that it will hamstring them from doing much in the future, that's a legitimate concern," CBSSports.com's Scott Miller writes. "But to St. Louis, Pujols is Stan Musial and Red Schoendienst. This is a deal that will get done."
Pujols has put a gag order on his side from talking about negotiations. Last month at the Cardinals' Winter Warm-Up festival, he told the gathered media to not even bother asking about it. "Whenever we start talking about contracts, it's going to be quiet." Pujols said. He also explained why he chose spring training as a cutoff date, explaining he didn't want to be a distraction for his teammates. "What is more important: my contract or my team? Do you want to bring all that into the clubhouse all year like you guys have been doing the last couple years? No. I respect my teammates more than this contract. I think that's more important to me than anything else."
Pujols needs to sign with the Cardinals for several reasons, many of which have nothing to do with baseball and everything to do with keeping sports fans sane. It's already pretty clear that if Feb. 16 rolls around and Pujols hasn't inked an extension, sports fans should keep their televisions on Comedy Central for a couple days, lest they want to be treated to features on where Pujols will likely end up in 2012, how much this affects the Cardinals and where players in New York's infield would have to move in order to accommodate his signing. (Hint: It involves Jeter moving to center field.) CBSSports'.com's Gregg Doyel nails several scenarios in which Pujols not signing would be "the threshold of free-agency hell," a world that would make last summer's "The Decision" pale in comparison. "You thought LeBron James' free agency was a major story?" Doyel writes. "That was nothing compared to this. The NBA is nothing compared to baseball, for one thing, and the NBA's salary cap reduced LeBron's list of realistic destinations to three or four while creating a hard ceiling for his annual salary. For Pujols, the sky would be the limit."

In June's MLB draft, the New York Yankees selected high schooler Kevin Jordan, a toolsy outfielder who had missed much of his senior year in high school with an illness that many thought to be strep throat or the flu. Jordan, however, had already committed to play at Wake Forest, so he turned down pinstripe riches and honored his commitment to play for the Demon Deacons. It was soon discovered that Jordan didn't have the flu, but kidney disease. He underwent dialysis and vowed to play. Two days before classes started in August, it was discovered that his kidneys were functioning at 8% capacity. Doctors recommended a transplant. The closest match they found was Wake Forest baseball coach Tom Walter.
On Monday, Walter's kidney was transplanted into Jordan's body. Doctors called the surgery a success. Walter is expected to be with the team when they open their season on Feb. 18 against Louisiana State, according to Baseball America's Conor Glassey. Jordan, meanwhile, might start light baseball activities in April. He fully intends to honor his commitment and play for the Deamon Deacons. But, the coach cautions, first things first. "I think everybody's first goal is that Kevin can just have a normal life," Walter told Glassey. "I mean, forget the baseball part of it for now. If he gets back on the field, that's going to be the best story of all ."

Have you ever watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and wondered what game it was that Ferris and his friends attended that day? Wonder no more. Larry Granillo of Baseball Prospectus did some searching and determined that the game was actually two games. The first—the game on television in the movie—took place on June 5, 1985, between the Cubs and the Braves. Granillo reached this conclusion by researching games in which Lee Smith pitched to Claudell Washington, while Leon Durham tries to hold Paul Zuvella on at first. But, in an update to the story, Granillo reveals that the filming that took place at a Cubs game took place on September 24, against the Expos. Ken Collins, second assistant director on the film, emailed Granillo to help him solve the mystery.

The 2014 Sochi Games are still three years away, but it's never too early to start the hype machine. On Monday, organizers released the 11 mascot finalists for the winter games, and the collection was, in a word, breathtaking. The finalists featured a dolphin, a sun, a snowboarding leopard, a Heat Miser/Snow Miser duo, Russian nesting dolls and Ded Moroz (aka Grandfather Frost), Russia's counterpart to Santa Claus. "There's a little something for everyone," Yahoo's Chris Chase writes, "from the Christmas lover to the follower of heliocentrism to fans of anthropomorphic animals adept at winter sports."
