One other thing to consider is lifestyle factors out of your control. I read that having young kids reduces testosterone--if for no other reason than that it messes with your sleep. Now my kids are 7 and almost 4. The last two years of my kids getting older makes a huge difference for a lot of reasons. I do take ZMA a few hours before bed but only on nights when I worked out some during the day so perhaps 3 to 4 times a week. I also take about 2 to 3000 IUs of Vitamin D, depends on the weather. I stopped drinking coffee about a year ago and only drink tea and usually fast nearly 24 hours one day of the week.
PrimalHunter, I would give it awhile longer. It's hard to diagnose things here. If you just have a really stressful job or even a stressful period of your life (short term job stress; kids, spouse, or family causing stress; something else) this could be messing with you. I would also really dial in sleep and lifestyle stress, those are the most important in my mind, meditate or only read fiction an hour or two before you go to bed for awhile, get ear plugs, white noise, whatever it takes, if you sleep alone, get a sleep apnea study done (my wife had one because I complained and this lead her to lose some weight because she had a minor apnea problem but if you sleep alone nobody else would know). Even though all these aforementioned factors improving T are somewhat related, I'd say the most crucial one is sleep.

I had to click on this thread to see what a "furriner" is.. I assume it's not a derogatory term.
(Edit: the term used by the OP has been edited by the staff.)
There are no laws against giving a Christmas gift to a foreigner. I'm assuming you mean a firearm as a gift. One who holds an immigrant visa (a "green card") may lawfully possess a firearm, assuming not otherwise prohibited, according to Federal law. I believe the same applies in every state to the limit in which it applies to US citizens residing in that state. In some states that issue carry licenses, however, such may not be available to a "green card holder" (known as a resident alien.)
Laws on the possession of firearms by non-resident aliens who are here lawfully (visitors, exchange students/workers, and other temporary-visa holders) are more varied state to state.
Undocumented aliens ("illegal aliens") can find few, if any, conditions in which they'd be permitted to possess or purchase firearms.
In my state (Florida), a resident alien can not only purchase and possess a firearm; he or she can apply for and receive a concealed weapon/firearm license.
November 27, 2012, 01:19 PM
One such person was a friend in college. He was able to purchase with a green card in North Dakota, but also needed a hunting license before he could. I do not know if this was a state requirement or a federal one, but a $10 fur bearer tag satisfied that requirement.

Since a lawful permanent resident in TX can own and buy guns, and get a TX CHL, I can't imagine why there would be any problem giving a gun to one.

Couldn't make it to the gun show today, so I stopped by Academy & got a Taurus PT 111 for $330. I was very surprised by the DA trigger pull - long & mushy, but not bad @ all. And it comes w/ a trigger lock built in - helpful w/ the small children running around the house.

I am interested in SUMOylation of some target proteins, and tried to study it by immunoprecipitation of the protein of interest from cell lysate. However, the SUMOylated status is so labile, I could not get convincing result. Some researchers used NEM (N-ethylmaleimide) as an inhibitor of SUMO proteases, but it is very toxic so I hesitate to use it. Has anyone tried specific SENP inhibitors, such as SUMO aldehyde and SUMO vinyl sulfone by ENZO or BostonBiochem or else? How do they work? Do I just add them into the cell lysis buffer before use? Many thanks!

Ms Gracelyn Smallwood
AO, MSc, RN
Ms Gracelyn Smallwood has been a tireless advocate for improved outcomes in Indigenous Health for over forty years. Since qualifying as a registered nurse - one of the few employment options open to Aboriginal women in Townsville in the early 1970s - Gracelyn has championed the improvement of health, in particular Indigenous Health and HIV- AIDS prevention and has gained national and international recognition in both mainstream and cultural public health spheres.
Gracelyn grew up on the fringes of Townsville with little opportunity but much support to complete her education. In 1972 Gracelyn completed her nurse training at Townsville General Hospital, followed by a post-graduate degree in midwifery and a Diploma in Mental Health.
Gracelyn was one of the founders, and the first registered nurse to work at the Townsville Aboriginal and Islanders' Health Service, working for a year in a voluntary capacity. The following year Gracelyn received an Aboriginal Overseas Study Award in which she studied cross-cultural comparative health of Maori and First Nations in New Mexico and Arizona, and then Polynesian disadvantage in Hawaii.
Gracelyn has worked on the National Trachoma and Eye Health Program in remote communities with the late Fred Hollows, been Director of the Hetti Perkins Nursing Home in Alice Springs, and practised remote nursing in Western Australian, South Australian, northern Territory and Queensland communities. She was part of the 'Barefoot Doctor Scheme' practicing primary and preventative health in Inner Mongolia, and comparing health systems in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou with the Australia-China Council.
Gracelyn has lectured in cross-cultural studies at the East-West Centre in Hawaii and was Associate Professor and Director of the University of Southern Queensland's Kumbari/Ngurpai Lag Higher Education Centre for Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders from 1995 to 1999. She has lectured at Thursday Island, the University of Honolulu, and participated as a speaker at a W.H.O conference in public health.
The emergence of HIV-AIDS as a threat to Australians was met decisively by the Australian government, but education campaigns of Grim Reapers were alien to Indigenous communities. Gracelyn was co-ordinator of the outstanding 'Condoman' HIV-AIDS prevention campaign. Condoman is now a mainstream campaign in the fight against the spread of HIV-AIDS. Gracelyn was appointed as consultant in AIDS prevention to the WHO, and received a scholarship to study for Masters in Science in AIDS education at James Cook University. She toured remote communities assessing and giving HIV-AIDS education.
Gracelyn was appointed as Special Advisor on Aboriginal Health to Queensland Health Minister Ken McElliot, and as consultant in to the Federal Health Minister Brian Howe on Domestic and Family Violence. In 1997 she was invited to South Africa by President Nelson Mandela and conducted a series of lectures on HIV-AIDS.
Gracelyn was awarded Queensland Aboriginal of the Year in 1986; an Order of Australia medal in 1992 for service to public health, particularly HIV-AIDS education; and in 1994 was the first woman, Indigenous person and non-paediatrician to receive the Henry Kemp Memorial Award at the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect.
Gracelyn currently works at the largely Indigenous Cleveland Youth Detention Centre as nurse and mentor, and at Townsville Hospital as a nurse and midwife. She is an Associate Professor and Indigenous Advisor to the Vice-Chancellor at James Cook University and has been a driving person behind James Cook University's progressive Reconciliation Statement.

Grossman outspends Dahlkemper in Erie County exec race
The spending numbers are in for the Erie County executive's race from the May 21 municipal primary.
Most of the money raised and spent was on the Democratic side of the May 21 county executive primary, in which Kathy Dahlkemper defeated incumbent County Executive Barry Grossman.
But Grossman outspent Dahlkemper in his bid to stay in office.
Dahlkemper will face Republican nominee Don Tucci -- who spent little in the primary -- in the Nov. 5 municipal election.
Grossman's campaign committee, Friends of Barry Grossman, reported spending $119,433 in the primary, including $31,868 from May 7 to June 10. Another way to look at his total spending: $9.84 for each of his 12,133 votes.
Dahlkemper's campaign committee reported spending a total of $95,810, or $7.19 for each of her 13,319 votes. The committee spending included $28,428 from May 10 to June 10.

Medicine Wheel / Wagon Wheel
In 2005, Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks produced a 6 episode miniseries that spanned the period of expansion of the United States into the American West, from 1825 to 1890. Through fictional and historical characters, the series used two primary symbols--the wagon wheel and the Lakota medicine wheel -- to join the story of two families: one Native American, one White settlers, as they witnessed many of the 19th century's pivotal historical milestones.

Martin Holmes, 67, helped orchestrate his daughter's sudden split from her husband of five years, as PEOPLE reports in this week's cover story, on newsstands now.
A University of Toledo law school grad and member of the Ohio Bar since 1971, he practices in areas including personal injury, business litigation, probate and matrimonial law.
"Marty is very rigid – it's his way or the highway," says a Toledo attorney who has worked with both Martin Holmes and his son, attorney Martin Jr., on cases. "Marty believes there are only two sets of rules: the rules of the court and his rules, and he carries himself that way."
Along with his homemaker wife Kathy, 65, Martin raised five children: Tamera, 44, Holly, 43, Martin Jr., 42, Nancy, 38, and the baby of the family, 33-year-old Katie.
As parents, Martin and Kathy "laid down the law but always with a lot of love," a relative told PEOPLE in 2006.
After their youngest daughter began dating Cruise, 50, in 2005, rumors quickly emerged that the actress's parents were wary of the relationship. But publicly, Martin was always supportive of Cruise, calling him a "humanitarian" in a statement to Access Hollywood, and both Tom and Katie denied any tensions with her family.
"Some of the crap that's out there – the stuff that's said about my parents and my siblings [not hitting it off with Tom], it's really frustrating," Holmes told Vanity Fair in 2006 after welcoming daughter Suri.
"There is a line in the movie Father of the Bride where Steve Martin talks about how a time comes when you have a daughter that you stop worrying about her meeting the wrong guy ... and you worry about her meeting the right guy," Martin said. "It didn't take much time before I realized this Tom guy was a special guy – that he loved Katie, that he cared for her and supported her. Tom expressed his love many different ways – I like that. I respect men who are not afraid to show their feelings. I respect Tom for the commitment he has made to provide happiness and love to Katie."

PARSIPPANY — The council president who had been accused of political bribery lashed out a friend Tuesday night, after investigators said they didn't find any offense to prosecute.
Fighting through tears, Brian Stanton said at a township council meeting that Dr. Louis Valori betrayed him with the accusation. Valori has alleged Stanton, Mayor James Barberio and Township Attorney John Inglesino were part of a plot to give him a township job to not run for political office.
"It was my friend that stabbed me in the back," Stanton said. "It was my friend that lied and ruined my reputation."No criminal charges will be filed after an investigation into Valori's allegations, the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office said in a letter Township Attorney John Inglesino shared with NJ.com Tuesday. The Somerset office handled the matter to avoid potential conflicts of interest in Morris County.
Valori, a retired Parsippany sergeant, said that at a Jan. 13 meeting at town hall, Barberio offered him a $50,000-a-year township job.
Valori made an audio recording of that meeting, which Stanton and Inglesino also attended, though Inglesino acknowledged Tuesday he didn't bill the township for the time.
Stanton initially approached him about the position in November, telling him Barberio didn't want to split the Republican party in the township, Valori said.
Valori is running on a ticket with council hopeful Robert J. Peluso and current councilman Paul Carifi, who is seeking the mayor's office. Barberio is running alongside council Vice President Richard Ferrera and would-be council newcomer Millin Shah.
Republican Michael Strumolo, a member of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education, is running for a council seat separately from either GOP ticket. Jonathan Nelson and his ticket — planning board member Robert Keller and political newcomer Mihir Oza, seeking the council seats — are unopposed in the Democratic primary.
Stanton has confirmed he was at the meeting. He has said a job was discussed and he polled councilmen, asking whether they'd support creating the job. Ingelsino has said that while the job was discussed, no offer was made, and the job prospect wasn't a political bribe..
But Stanton didn't address the specifics of Valori's bribery claims Tuesday night. Instead, he said Valori had turned on him.
"They say you need to have eyes in the back of your head," Stanton said. "You never know when your enemies are going to come. And you know something? That rumbles correct. But the sad part is, you don't need your eyes for your enemies. You need them for your friends."
Valori wasn't in the audience when Stanton spoke. But during public comment, Valori defended his allegation and went after Stanton.
Valori said everything he told investigators was "the 110 percent truth" before telling Stanton, "All the information I gave to them a was based on the act of you approaching me on Nov. 29. All the information that I provided to them was nothing but the truth, and I'll take that to the very end."
Valori also played into a microphone a two-minute clip of Barberio and Inglesino discussing the job with Valori, which he said was taken during the Jan. 13 meeting. The recording was posted Wednesday on YourListen.com, though Valori has said he doesn't know who posted it.
After the recording was played, Inglesino said Valori never proved he was actually offered a job, and that his candidacy was never discussed at the meeting.
Inglesino said Barberio wanted to hire a public relations manager for the township after realizing he could have communicated better with residents during Hurricane Sandy.
So, Inglesino said, they approached Valori about creating a job, in which he'd handle public relations for the township and, at times, for the police department. But, according to Inglesino, the council didn't support creating the job, and the idea was nixed.
Inglesino said he attended the meeting — for which he said he forgot to bill the township — to explain the parameters of the job and how it would be created.
Earlier, Inglesino and Barberio each said they felt the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office investigation had vindicated them. Barberio had previously denied offering Valori a job, at one point saying the allegation was born out of "insatiable greed."
Barberio also asked Councilman Paul Carifi, running for mayor with Valori and Robert J. Peluso, president of the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce, to drop Valori from his ticket. Carifi refused.
Barberio left the meeting when the council took a two-minute recess after Stanton gave his statement.

From back rubs to bubble baths- we all have our moments of weakness that can send us to euphoria without any sexual activity in mind. If a sexual escapade ensues- roll with it I always say.
Who doesn't love a luxurious bubble bath, peace and quiet followed by a never-ending body massage? (Notice not one single hand in the air.)
Add in a glass of wine, your favorite sound track and some candles dimming the room for effect. It's te perfect evening.
The grand finale comes when your partner dries you off with the softest towel, wraps you in the towel and his arms while professing his undeniable love.

The method consists of use of observation controls, quantified scores for observations, and sequential analysis of data. Specifically, this aim was exemplified by a test of whether an anti-depressant medication, pargyline hydrochloride (Eutonyl), is more effective in reducing the manifest symptoms of depression than is an inert placebo.Pargyline is a nonhydrazine monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO) chemically identified as N-benzyl-N methyl-2 propynylamine hydrochloride. Previous studies of this agent as a psychic energizer have been for the most part uncontrolled clinical observations. For example, Saunders5 reported on his experience with pargyline using 59 female hospitalized patients as subjects. Kline4 reported his experience with 50 subjects in private practice who had been unsuccessfully treated with other means. With this difficult group of patients

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Macy's will be raising money -- and providing matching donations -- in March to help Freshkills Park as part of its "Heart Your Park" campaign.
The drive is part of Macy's "Secret Garden" campaign, which aims to raise awareness and dollars for local parks nationwide. From March 7-31, customers at the Macy's store at the Staten Island Mall, New Springville, can donate $1 or more at the register.
Macy's will match those donations -- across all stores nationwide -- up to $250,000 in total.
All proceeds on the Island will go to the Freshkills Park Alliance. The agency is the not-for-profit partner with the City of New York in its work to develop Freshkills Park.
Macy's is working in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), the national non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of community parks, recreation and conservation.
"We are thrilled to partner with Macy's and NRPA for 'Heart Your Park' this spring," said Freshkills Park Alliance Executive Director Eloise Hirsh. "Through this wonderful program and donations by Macy's customers, we are excited about the increased awareness and additional funding for Freshkills Park. This park is a great asset to the community, and we greatly appreciate Macy's support."
Freshkills Park is one of more than 550 parks nationwide that will benefit.
Donations will go toward holding community events at the park and free environmental education programs for schools on Staten Island.

'Fast & Furious 7' cars previewed in Ludacris' set video
"Fast & Furious 7" won't be in theaters for almost a year, but Ludacris just can't wait to show you some of the cars that will be destroyed in the film once he, Vin Diesel and the other stars get back behind the wheel.
The rapper-actor (AKA Chris Bridges) posted a quick video look at the sevenquel's star cars on Instagram.
Panning around the set, Luda previews enough muscle cars, armored Hummers, and souped-up, tricked-out, high-speed roadsters to make the cast of "Rush" green with envy. Needless to say, your parents' old family station wagon isn't among them.
Check out the video here:
Some of the autos looks somewhat familiar, but "FF7" will doubtlessly be unveiling some new wheels as well. Which car is your favorite?
"Fast 7" also stars Paul Walker, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Lucas Black, Tony Jaa, Djimon Hounsou, and Kurt Russell. James Wan ("The Conjuring") is directing in franchise veteran Justin Lin's stead.
"Fast & Furious 7" races into theaters July 11, 2014.

Police: Man arrives at hospital asks for food, room with TV
Suspect calls ambulance more than 50 times, police say
A 67-year-old Lebanon man has been charged for calling an ambulance more than 50 times in recent months when he did not need medical attention, according to police.
William Trostle was charged with false alarms to agency of public safety, disorderly conduct and defiant trespass.
Police were called to the 800 block of Crowell Street Saturday to assist EMS.
Trostle refused to answer the door at first and denied he had a medical issue then recanted and was taken to the emergency room, police said.
When he got to the hospital he asked for a sandwich and a room with a TV, police said. When hospital staff did not provide that, Trostle said he had no medical issue and refused treatment, police said.

HARRISBURG - Gov. Corbett on Monday took a first step toward privatizing day-to-day operations of the Pennsylvania Lottery.
Corbett said he had issued a "request for qualifications" from companies seeking to manage the nation's sixth-largest lottery. He called the move an "innovative step" that could increase funding for services for the aging as record numbers of baby boomers join their ranks.
"This initiative is simply part of my administration's efforts to tap private-sector innovation to make state government work more efficiently and effectively," Corbett said in a news release. "Our state's fast-growing population of older adults means time is not on our side, and we need to maximize funding for senior programs and services in a way that does not ask taxpayers to dig any deeper into their pockets."

CLEMSON Clemson athletic director Terry Don Phillips, whose contract expires next summer, said Tuesday he is not seeking contract extension.
Im not looking for an extension, said Phillips, whose contract runs through June 30, 2013.
Phillips declined to elaborate and would not say whether he had ruled out the idea of remaining as AD or taking another position at Clemson.
I am not seeking any extension and I think I just need to leave it at that, Phillips said. I cant really add anything.
Clemson President James Barker said in December that he wanted Phillips to remain as athletic director beyond his current contract.
Phillips has been the athletic director at Clemson since 2002. He is paid $418,000 per year.
During his tenure, $140 million has been committed to athletic facilities. The football team won its first ACC title in 20 years last season under coach Dabo Swinney, whom Phillips selected to lead the program after the 2008 season. Clemson is spending a record amount on its football staff compensation this season.
One of Phillips most successful hires was Oliver Purnell, who led the mens basketball program to three straight NCAA appearances.
But Phillips has also been criticized for the performances of several athletic teams, most notably football, and for extending former football coach Tommy Bowdens contract.
Phillips said he is pleased with where the athletic program is today. I feel very good about the momentum we have, Phillips said. I feel our total sports program is poised to continue to progress and do well. Im pleased where we are. We are in good shape financially. ... We are stable with our (football) staff.
Hopefully weve done things that whenever we were to leave, they can build on what we have done and take advantage of it. I feel good about the coaches we have in place.
In addressing other topics, Phillips said there have been some delays in construction of the new indoor practice facility, but he still hopes to see the projected completed by December.
Phillips said the new student-athlete dining area in Memorial Stadium has been completed and the athletic department is seeking to hire a nutritionist.
Phillips said the school is also looking at upgrading the luxury suites in Memorial Stadium.

Payday 2 is at core a co-op game, though it has a single player campaign for those who want to play. It gives you 4 characters of which you will be controlling one and if you are playing co-op mode then the other three will be controlled by your friends. If you are playing the single player campaign as a single player than the one character will be in your control and the rest of them will be controlled by computer AI. Follow the instructions given in the first comment to get Payday 2 PC download.
This game has essentially bank heist as the main plot and what you do during the heist in in your hands and the players that are playing with you. If you have 4 team players who know what their job is then you will have a great heist and get very rich. On the other hand if one of the team members is dumb and doesn't do his job correctly, you will be in a jail for a long long time. So if you are playing with friends in co-op mode on a LAN then make sure you pick the correct person for the correct job. But first find Payday 2 free download given below to play.
If every team member associated in the battle is an efficient one then you are going to be rewarded with a great experience. Some of the great challenging action sequences can be seen if you work properly with the team. The main mode is four player co-op. This is the best you will see from this title, and offline single player mode is just simply there for people who don't want to play the co-op, so don't expect any great things from it. Still, enjoy Payday 2 PC download given on this page, as it's the full version you will be getting from here.
You will be picking up missions from a map and each time some of the random things will be changed like the location of the cameras or vaults and guards. So each robbery you attempt will be different and give you different challenges each time. You will be able to case the place before going to rob it, just like what happens in real life situations.
Payday 2 download for PC then follow the instructions to install it and play. The part where you are casing the place of your next crime and relaying that info you get from the location to your partners is one of the best things engrossing ones.
The graphics have some irregularities but overall they look believable with nice looking streets when you are on the outside. But when you are inside the building everything changes and the graphics fall flat without any inspiration. If the developers had worked on the textures of the building from inside it would have been great, as most of the action happens inside the buildings. Anyways find Payday 2 PC download here and see what we mean.
One of the saving graces will be the sound effects. Whether it is the sound of the guns or the background music that builds an atmosphere, everything feels right at home for a robbery movie. Couple this with some nice animations for the shooting; you have a great looking action title on your hands. When the graphic glitches don't interfere, it is a decent title and if you are playing the co-op mode then it's better. Following link gives you full version of Payday 2 free download for PC. Use it to get the PC download or the one given above. You will find direct links or torrents, use whichever you prefer and start enjoying this great co-op title.Download Links

In 2010, the Company faced several successful attacks against its corporate network in which access was gained to information on a small portion of our computers and servers ... We have investigated and do not believe these attacks breached the servers that support our Domain Name System ('DNS') network.
Even though the breaches were discovered in 2010, upper management wasn't notified until September 2011, says PCMag.com.
Security experts are having difficulty responding to the revelation as so much information is still unknown. Was the DNS network accessed? VeriSign's statement doesn't completely rule out the possibility. As TIME blogger Keith Wagstaff says: "I'd feel a lot better if they used the words 'are certain' instead of 'do not believe.'"
VeriSign used to be the world's largest SSL (secure socket layer) certificate issuing authority before selling the business to Symantec. Was a root SSL certificate compromised? Computerworld explains the risk:
If criminals did steal one or more SSL certificates, they could use them to conduct 'man-in-the-middle' attacks, tricking users into thinking they were at a legitimate site when in fact their communications were being secretly intercepted. Or they could use them to 'secure'fake websites that seem to be legitimate copies of popular Web services, using the bogus domains to steal information or plant malware.
Wagstaff sums it up:
The fact that a company this big and this central to the Internet would wait so long to reveal it had been attacked is unacceptable.

Blu, the avian hero of "Rio," can't seem to get off the ground, no matter how diligently he tries.
2.5 (2 in 3D) out of 4 stars
Rated: G
Voice cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Jamie Foxx
Director: Carlos Saldanha
Run time: 96 minutes
The movie doesn't have the same problem; some of its best sequences really do soar, figuratively and literally. But the 3-D formatting used here can sometimes seem like the cinematic equivalent of sprinkling salt on tail feathers.
Although the dozens of animators and designers that worked on "Rio" successfully emulated the otherworldly colors and eye-shocking shades of Rio de Janeiro at Carnival time, you won't get much of a sense of that because the polarized 3-D glasses darken and diminish images that ought to be sparkling. (Hence, the 3-D version only rates two stars.) The result is sometimes like a rainbow reflected in a mud puddle: You can tell it's supposed to be dazzling, but the radiance doesn't exactly register.
That won't be a problem if you see "Rio" without 3-D. The movie doesn't need the gimmick anyhow. It's another slick, easy to take adventure-comedy from Blue Sky Studios, which gave the world the "Ice Age" series (which explains why "Rio" is preceded by the short "Scrat's Continental Crack-Up," which was previously shown with "Gulliver's Travels" last Christmas).
While "Rio" doesn't have any characters as memorable as the ever-scheming prehistoric squirrel Scrat, director Carlos Saldanha has made a suitably snazzy salute to his hometown, which celebrates the lavish craziness of Carnival culture, casts an admiring eye on the natural splendor that surrounds the city and even makes the shabby, dilapidated favelas look reasonably accommodating.
Jesse Eisenberg of "The Social Network" provides the refreshingly un-squawky voice of Blu, a blue macaw that was spirited away from the rainforest as a baby and raised in the Minnesota town of Moose Lake.
He's spent 15 joyful years with bookstore owner and homebody Linda (Leslie Mann), although that all changes after Brazilian ornithologist Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) shows up, begging them to follow him back to Rio. Blu may be the last male of his kind, and Tulio is hoping to mate him with female macaw Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and save the species.
The love connection is jeopardized by a smuggling gang that specializes in abducting and selling South American birds. Blu and Jewel spend much of the movie chained together, a la Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier in "The Defiant Ones," a situation further complicated by the fact that the energetic Jewel can't spread her wings with a flight-impaired partner dragging her down: Can love lift Blu up where he belongs?
The movie's chases are occasionally spectacular, particularly a hang-gliding excursion over the city and around the towering Christ the Redeemer statue. The slowly warming relationship between Blu and Jewel is pleasingly played by Eisenberg and Hathaway, although the writers try to hedge their bets by cramming in an excess of chatty supporting characters — including George Lopez as a family-oriented toucan, Jamie Foxx and will.i.am as street-smart types — that often take over the action without adding much to it.
The primary villain is a head cracking cockatoo named Nigel (Jemaine Clements), who was once a TV personality and movie star before his unceremonious fall from grace. Nigel even gets a snarling solo song, "Pretty Bird" (in which he claims "like an abandoned school, I have no principals"). Oddly, the movie doesn't grant the same showcase to Blu or to Jewel.
With executive music producer Sergio Mendes on board, "Rio" seems to want to salute samba and bossa nova, but only in curiously small doses. At any rate, not giving Hathaway a number was a mistake; her sterling soprano, heard here only briefly, deserves to be let out of its cage one of these days.

would like to reach John,
please press one.
Well I wanted to speak to
Mary and to my surprise the
machine said please press five.
Well, I pressed five not
knowing what it was, and all
that came out was a great
big buzz.
Well that didn't work, so I
pressed Mary again. Some
lady answered by the name
of Lynn. I've been trying to
get Mary on three, I begin, but
Lynn didn't like it and she let
me know.
So I pressed one, I pressed three,
I pressed five and four and
decided that answering
machines are a total bore.
I don't think I'll talk to them

Damage was estimated in the millions of dollars Monday after the weekend break of a century-old water main flooded a $58 million shopping center near East Falls that opened only a few months ago.
Water rose two feet inside the ShopRite supermarket at Bakers Centre, infiltrated a Ross store and others, and obliterated portions of an expansive parking lot after the 48-inch transmission main broke about 4:30 a.m. Saturday. Damage was extensive at the development, praised when it opened in late 2013 for its reuse of an old Tastykake warehouse in a longtime food desert.
Authorities were investigating what might have caused the cast-iron main to fail. Dating to 1895, it was one of four transmission mains beneath the suburban-style shopping center, built with private and public funds at Fox and Roberts Streets, said Philadelphia Water Department spokeswoman Joanne Dahme.

The Board of Private Detectives and Guards continued to review hundreds of security guard applications over the weekend as officials work to comply with the state's new licensing law.
"We're still working overtime," Executive Officer Charlene Tamanaha said. "Even though the deadline has passed, we're still trying to get to all the applications."
Operating under the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, the board received 354 applications on Saturday and Sunday, with most of them (326) from Oahu, she said.
Three applications were filed on Maui at the Business Action Center in the Maui Mall.
The revised law for guard licensing went into effect on Monday. It requires all people working in a guard capacity to undergo a total of 12 hours in classroom and on-the-job training, as well as a background check.
The board has received about 6,000 applications so far, with 3,728 processed or waiting for review, and 2,000 pending processing, said Brent Suyama, communications officer with the DCCA.
"We went from a trickle to a flood, pretty much," he said of the influx in applications last month and over the weekend. "It's a lot different when an agency drops a hundred applications at one time, than when they trickle in consistently."
Using state labor statistics, the DCCA estimates that there are about 10,000 security guards in Hawaii. However, the number may be inaccurate because of the method used to derive it, Suyama said.
Last week, the board ordered guards to stop working if they did not meet all the requirements of the new law and submit an application before the Monday deadline. They were told not to work until they have been approved and issued a guard registration card. Those who submitted an application before the deadline were allowed to continue working without a registration card or complete approval.
With the increased number of applications, Suyama said it is difficult to say when an applicant might expect approval.
"It's hard to say right now because we're still wading through this backlog of forms," he said. "Obviously we're working as fast as we can to get to them, but it would depend on whether or not you have a case that has anything that needs to be reviewed by the board."
Background checks, which include criminal and psychiatric evaluations, typically take the longest because each case is reviewed individually, he said.
"The board may review the case and have questions that require a response back from the applicant," he said. "We have quite a few people who don't normally review applications helping around here . . . It's a major team effort."
While there were those who applied before the deadline and were allowed to continue working without proper registration, Suyama acknowledged that if their applications are subsequently denied they may have worked illegally. The DCCA is still deliberating over any consequences, but he said they have not denied any applications.
Enforcement of unlicensed guards is supervised by the department's Regulated Industry Complaints Office, although its jurisdiction extends only over independent companies. Guard companies are required to provide a list of all their employees to the department semi-annually, Tamanaha said.
"There might be fines or disciplinary actions for the guard company," she said of possible offenders. "Otherwise, it will be imposed on the actual individual."
In response to the increased regulation and requirements for security guards, Suyama is urging people who may be concerned about their criminal records to continue applying past the deadline.
"It truly is looked at on a case-by-case basis so they shouldn't be hesitant to turn in their application," he said of the background checks. "We don't think people should be punished for something that happened five to 10 years ago.
"We're not looking to put people out of work."

Playing ABYS in 7th & 8th Grade
FAQ's for Parents about playing ABYS in 7th and 8th grade
Attention Parents of next fall's 7th & 8th Graders.
Each year we receive many questions regarding our fall boys and girls U13 & U14 ABYS soccer teams, schedules and practice commitments. Here is some information about the ABYS program. As more details about our fall program become available, we will send updates. If you have questions, or need additional information, please contact your division director. They will do their best to help you.
The ABYS in-town league ends at U12. As many leagues around the country have combined age groups, so does BAYS at U13 and U14. All U13 players will play on ABYS travel teams in a BAYS U14 division. BAYS offers 4 divisions of play at U14 to accommodate teams and players of all skill levels. Two of these BAYS divisions are considered competitive, and two are considered recreational. The number of ABYS teams, their roster size, and the placement of teams within the BAYS U14 division will depend on the number of registrations received. Each fall we expect there will be 4-5 teams in BU14 and 4 -5 teams in GU14. We encourage all players to register for the fall ABYS season by the registration deadline. BAYS games for U14 divisions are played on Saturdays. Shortly before the fall season starts, ABYS team coaches will determine the practice schedule for their individual teams, and receive their game schedules from BAYS. There will be practices available for all the players. For those players practicing with the Jr. High or Club teams these practices may be considered optional.
We get many questions about the soccer teams at RJ Grey Jr. High. Please note that the Jr. High soccer program is run by the Acton Boxborough Regional School system, not ABYS. Information about the Jr. High soccer program will be sent to all parents of incoming 7th graders with the other information from the school.
Those who register for ABYS and later decide to play for the Junior High, and not play ABYS, will receive a refund of their registration fee less a $25 processing fee. After the registration deadline those who register will be placed on a waiting list and if there is room on the teams that ABYS registers with BAYS they may be removed from the waiting list and added to a team.
Finally, regarding notification of your child's team placement, in this age group we cannot finalize fall rosters until after the AB junior high tryouts, as some players register for ABYS, but then decide to drop ABYS. We remain flexible so that we can make last minute adjustments to rosters, and also accommodating last minute registrations. Note that this may occur up until the 1st or 2nd game of the BAYS season, so please be patient and understanding with the process as it is not an easy one.
We hope this helps answer your questions. If you need more details or have additional questions please contact your division director or you can contact the ABYS Registrar by email firstname.lastname@example.com

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
OKOLONA – Furniture manufacturer Rose Hill Company of Okolona has a new owner who says it will continue to use the company's name.
Madison Park Home Furnishings, which was established in 2007 and has its international headquarters are in Hangzhou, China, bought Rose Hill earlier this month.
Madison Park's U.S. headquarters is in Tupelo.
Financial details of the deal were undisclosed, but a company spokesman said all indications are the company will increase production.
"I am sure they plan on adding a (production) line and they bring a lot of customers to us with this purchase," said Maria Sesin of Madison Park Home Furnishings. "I have not been told when or how quickly this might happen."
She did say Madison Park produces a wide range of living room furniture. Sesin was not aware of any changes to the Rose Hill's product mix or new merchandise that might be produced in Okolona.
Sesin said there have been no major changes in personnel and the Rose Hill name will remain on the front of the building.
"Rose Hill was purchased by a larger company and right now we are getting ready for market in High Point (N.C.), where we will be billing ourselves as Madison Park Home Furnishings doing business as Rose Hill Furniture," said Sesin. "We have an established product line and our customers know the quality of Rose Hill furniture and that won't change."
Rose Hill has a long history in Okolona, initially established in 1968. The company had 75 employees and sales of between $12 million and $18 million in 2011.
The business has a 250,000-square-foot site at its current location at 270 South Carter St. in Okolona.
They make mid-range upholstered living-room furniture using wood frames, metal hardware and metal mechanical parts.

No good deed goes unpunished.
A Missoula, Montana mental health employee is currently out of a job after reporting child pornography she found on the computer of a client, John Gribble, to the police, according to the Associated Press. The employee, who has not been named, first went to supervisors with her concerns, but was told not to contact authorities because her discovery did not meet the requirements for reporting an offense.
According to the Missoulian, court papers show that she contacted police on October 17, reporting concerns after she saw the words "female child nude" and "preteen nude girls by themselves" in the browsing history of Gribble's computer. Gribble was later charged with sexually abusing children after a DVD containing nude photos of children was found in his home, according to multiple reports.
Despite the fact that the worker was concerned for the safety of young girls Gribble babysat, and that her suspicions proved true, the company maintains that she violated their policies when she called police.
Alleged child pornographers have been outed in a number of odd ways recently. Kraig Stockard, a California man, found himself arrested after burglars actually contacted the police when they found child porn in the stash of goods they stole from him. Charges were not pressed against the thieves.
Earlier this month, the infamous hacker group Anonymous assisted in the fight against child pornography by exposing the IP addresses of 190 alleged child porn viewers. The attack specifically hit Freedom Hosting, a company that it accused of hosting over 40 child pornography websites and its users.
The news also comes on the heels of reports that school officials at Penn State covered up child-sex abuse allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. According to the AP, Sandusky has been charged with 40 criminal counts accusing him of serial sex abuse of minors.
Joe Paterno, Penn State's head football coach, had said he will retire at the end of the season in light of the scandal.

A diverse group of executives, government officials, investors, and academics explored the challenges faced by business leaders at the 72nd Yale School of Management CEO Summit in New York City on June 5 and 6.
The day-long discussion was titled "Can CEOs Be Superheroes? Do We Expect too Much from the Boss?" and was led by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Yale SOM's senior associate dean for executive programs and the founder and president of the Chief Executive Leadership Institute at Yale SOM. Participants included Sir James Wolfensohn, former president of the World Bank Group and the recipient of the summit's Legend in Leadership Award; William Donaldson, the 27th chairman of the SEC; John Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Group; Jed Rakoff, United States District Judge, Southern District of New York; Kelly Evans, co-anchor of CNBC's Squawk on the Street; Tom Horton, chairman and CEO, American Airlines; and Robert Diamond Jr., former president and CEO, Barclays.
The assembled business leaders discussed how they evaluate business opportunities in the United States and elsewhere around the world. They agreed that despite slow economic growth in the U.S., underlying fundamentals make it worthwhile to invest there. Some leaders saw opportunities in Europe and Asia, but others cited challenges with inflexible unions and governments in Europe and intellectual property issues in China.
The participants expressed frustration with some U.S. government policies and discussed what leaders can do to make their voices heard in Washington. They stressed the importance of educating legislators and policymakers about the issues facing their industries.
Other areas of discussion included the role of companies in strengthening education in the United States; the role of the corporate boards and the pros and cons of splitting the chairman and CEO roles; and the relative advantages of being privately or publicly held.
Finally, participants discussed the theme of CEO as "superheroes." One participant emphasized the self-sacrifice that is typical of successful CEOs. "Super humble" may be a better description for such leaders than "superhero," he suggested.

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness is the PSP version of the original Disgaea on the PS2. I never got around to playing the original game, but I am not entirely new to the series. I had played and platinumed Disgaea 3 on PS3 - a time consuming, but enjoyable process. Going back two game in the series made it very clear that very little had changed to the formula set in the PS2 game.
The Disgaea series is an enjoyable tactical RPG, similar to games such as Final Fantasy tactics, but with a much more light-hearted and humorous storyline. While I enjoyed Disgaea 3 as a game, I never really clicked with the story's world and characters. Some of the jokes were mildly ammusing and I could appreciate a game that can make fun of the cliches that keep appearing in JRPGs, but as a whole I just didn't get into it.
Happily, I can't say the same about this original. It is apparent the universe of Disgaea - the Netherworld, human world and land of the angels (Celesita) as well as prinnys were created with the original game in mind. This band of characters created a cast that I found much more entertaining than Mao's crew. I found Disgaea 3's characters to be weird while Disgaea 1's were charming.
The graphics of the PSP version of Disgaea were also superior to the PS3's D3. Disgaea 3 had perhaps the worst graphics I have seen in a current generation game, displaying 2D sprites that looked like they would have come out on the PS1 or Sega Saturn. They weren't even available in HD. Afternoon of Darkness's graphics are clear and sharp and look especially good on the smaller PSP screen.
However, not everything was better in the original game. For starters, I found the limited camera angels frustrating. Far too often I couldn't see my characters or the next level warps (in the Item worlds) because my view was completely blocked by terrain. Additionaly other convinent features from in D3 such as switching between characters using the trigger buttons was absent in the original game.
Overall, I found Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness to be easily the best Disgaea game I have played (out of all two of them :P). While I must admit there were improvements made in the years between the first and third games, they are minimal at best and did not make up for the loss of story-telling magic they had with this first game.
In short, the Disgea series as a whole is very entertaining, but if you are only going to play one game in the series, I would have to say this is the one to get (and, yeah, I get that's a biased comment to make as I still have not played each game in the series).
Final Score: A-
