The above player rankings are based on expectations for this week only, not for the entire season, taking into account this week's specific matchups and injuries. The initial rankings are compiled before the release of the NFL's early injury report and are updated Thursday to reflect the status of each player.
We base our rankings on the following scoring system: For skill-position players, one point for every 10 rushing/receiving yards, one point for every 30 passing yards, six points for a TD run or catch, four points for a TD pass, two points for a two-point conversion run or catch, two points for a two-point conversion pass. For kickers, three points for FGs of 18-39 yards, four points for FGs of 40-49 yards, and five points for FGs of 50-plus yards. Defensive rankings are based primarily on points allowed, yardage allowed and sack potential.

A 3-year-old girl was sent to a local hospital with injuries from a traffic accident Friday, authorities said.
A female driver going south on South Western Street ran a stop sign about 1:46 p.m., when a man in a Chevrolet pickup headed west on West McCormick Road struck the passenger side of her Chevrolet Cavalier, Department of Public Safety Trooper Dennis Brassfield said.
The man in the pickup saw the Chevrolet and tried to avoid it, Brassfield said.
The child, a passenger in the Cavalier, was thrown from the seat onto the floor and had not been wearing a seat belt, he said.
The child, who was trapped, was bleeding from her ears, and her condition remained unknown, Brassfield said.
The woman, who is in her 30s, was also taken to a local hospital for tests, officials said.
Randall County Sheriff's Office spokesman Danny Alexander said the male driver works for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Co. and did not suffer any injuries.

Next wave of Arab filmmakers storm multiplexes
Across the Arab world, an unprecedented wave of filmmakers is emerging as they make their first feature films.
In recent months, the likes of Palestinian filmmaker Najwa Najjar, Jordan's Amin Matalqa, the U.A.E.'s Ali F. Mostafa, Arab-American Cherien Dabis, Lebanon's Chadi Zeneddine and Morocco's Hicham Ayouch have all completed, or are in the process of completing, their debut efforts.
These young directors, many of whom grew up in the shadows of civil war and political strife in their native countries, are proving to be equally comfortable straddling East and West. That fusion is imbuing their filmmaking aesthetic, an often intriguing mix of Arabic subject matter merged with cultural influences from both Hollywood and Europe.
The Doha Tribeca Film Fest will shine a spotlight on this new generation of Arab filmmakers with a special panel and series of screenings designed to bring them to the public's attention. Dubbed the New Arab Way, the panel will bring together the likes of Zeneddine, who has inked a development deal with Disney to direct his first Arabic-language feature; Matalqa; and Lebanese helmer Nadine Labaki, whose 2007 debut feature, "Caramel," is the biggest crossover Arab hit of recent decades, to discuss the challenges of forging their careers. — Ali Jaafar

National Archives and Records Administration
Palais de Bruxelles.
Dear Mr. Hoover,
You have not only taken a deep and efficient interest in the maintenance of the very existence of Belgium during the war, but as is known by all in Belgium, you have not looked with indifference at the great efforts made by her to ensure her economic restoration after peace. Of these efforts none deserves more support than those made towards the creation of a national mercantile marine, in which I have taken a special interest because I consider it essential to the future of our Country.
Belgium can live only by exportation. The war was for her, in this respect, a terrible blow. During the German occupation, as you know, our exports were practically annihilated, and other countries Japan in a large part took our place in overseas markets. Since the liberation of Belgium, the material ruin of many of her factories, and the increase in cost of production (higher compared with pre-war conditions than anywhere else) have placed our industry in a situation extremely disquieting.
We shall probably never recover our situation of the past, but if we desire to avoid complete ruin, one of the few remedies in our power is to provide the possibility of transporting in Belgian vessels, Belgian goods to foreign markets. We had practically no mercantile marine before the war. In the altered circumstances it was essential that it be organized the opportunity is exceptionally favourable, now that Antwerp is liberated from the German control which was felt heavily by all the shipping business in that city before the war and which blocked the success of more than one attempt to start Belgian shipping companies in the past.
It seemed inconceivable that what has been done by other small countries: Holland, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Portugal etc. could not be done by Belgium, with a port like Antwerp. For her it is a question of life or death; to renounce it would mean in fact abandoning control of her transports and exportations to competitors, mostly English, and probably before long, German. Particularly in the beginning, this branch of human activity is exceptionally difficult and I have considered my duty, as Chief Executive of this Country, to help as far as I can, the efforts of private Belgian shipping enterprise.
An opportunity of exceptional importance has presented itself, in which I hope you may perhaps give us most valuable assistance, and I do not hesitate to take the liberty of begging this new token of friendship towards a country which is already so heavily indebted to you.
As you are undoubtedly aware, a group of Belgian citizens, in the last period of the war, laid the foundation of a Belgian shipping company. This corporation, under the name of Lloyd Royal Belge had for object, as soon as the war was over, to provide in the largest possible measure the needs in maritime transport of Belgium for the import of food and raw material, and for the resumption of her exports. The Belgian Government, has given his full support to this enterprise, and personally, I have taken a very strong interest in it.
In order to fulfil their programme, the L.R.B. had for primary object the hasty constitution of a fleet, and to accomplish this they took what was probably the only step at that juncture the purchase of an important number of ships (22 ships, with a total of about 84,500 tons) from the U.S. Shipping board. The price was extremely high: $200 per ton, but the L.R.B. had before them this alternative: either to abandon the chance of starting a Belgian Mercantile Marine, under favourable circumstances, when the Germans had been wiped out from Antwerp, and everything was to be rebuilt in Belgium, or to risk a big effort and a heavy expenditure in the hope that it would be possible to amortize a large proportion of the high prices paid for the ships before freights would come down. The ships were bought from the shipping board, but the crisis in freights came much sooner than was anticipated. On the other hand, the rise in dollar made the payments more and more onerous for the Lloyd.
Under the circumstances, the situation of this company is very difficult, as is, I am informed, the case of some of the American Companies that also bought ships from the Shipping Board. We are told that the United States Government contemplate the possibility of granting to American buyers a very important reduction in the original price per ton and offering to them especially easy terms of payment. If such be the case, may I ask you, dear Mr. Hoover, if the American Government could not be induced to grant, in the largest possible measure, the same favour to our Belgian Company?
There is no question of arguing about the price originally fixed, it was proposed and accepted on both sides with complete good faith. The question is only this: Might a Belgian enterprise, of primary national importance for the restoration of our Country, hope from the U.S. Government generous treatment which might save her from a most grave situation.
After the war, the Belgian Government signed contracts with various firms some American for certain commodities. The prices agreed upon when the contracts were signed were found afterwards to be completely inadequate, owing to the abnormal and unexpected universal rise in prices.
The Belgian Government taking these circumstances in account, and as an act of equity, consented to increase the prices originally agreed upon. The case of the Lloyd Royal Belge is in a certain measure similar, with the situation reversed.
All the concrete facts and details concerning the request which the Lloyd Royal Belge has formally made to the U.S. Shipping Board are explained in a note which has been sent to my Ambassador, Baron de Cartier.
I have taken the liberty, relying upon your friendship, to explain to you the case only in its broad lines. I know that nothing which concerns the restoration of Belgium is indifferent to you, and I am confident that if you can see your way to help my countrymen in this particular circumstance, we may be sure you will do so.
Believe me always, dear Mr. Hoover
Brussels the 20th of April 1921

MARTINSBURG - With the motto of "Go Where it Grows," B & G Orchards owners have been working for more than 100 years to implement the best conservation practices ensuring that the land, water and products are healthy.
B & G Orchards recently won the 2012 West Virginia Conservation Farm of the Year Award, sponsored by the W.V. Conservation Awards Council and 14 W.V. Conservation Districts.
B & G Orchards, most associated with Butler's Farm Market, is a family-owned farm in its fifth generation of business. The 403-acre farm is currently operated by brothers Greg Butler and Bruce Butler, Jr.

Greg Butler, first male front row, and Bruce Butler, Jr., third male front row, stand among family, friends and competition participants as they accept accolades for their Berkeley County farm, B&G Orchards, winning the 2012 West Virginia Conservation Farm of the Year Award.
"What we're doing for soil and water conservation now is to be able to pass (the farm) down to the next generation," Greg said.
"That's what this award is about, conservation - what you do to preserve and take care of the land, even if it's not for our generation but for our kids' generation," Bruce Jr. added.
Farming the same land for 129 years, the Butlers described some of their conservation techniques as crop rotation, implementing an environmentally-friendly smart sprayer that identifies where and where not to spray and planting crops that release an organic toxin that kills insects.
"We changed all the spouting systems at Butler's Farm Market. There's a lot of roof surface, so we changed our spouts to where it's all funneled into a big 10,000-gallon tank that we can utilize for irrigation. It was a big concern of ours," Greg said.
According to Barbie Elliot, watershed field specialist for the West Virginia Conservation Agency, the Butlers are part of a strong conservation trend for the area, as three Eastern Panhandle farms have received the first place, state-level award in the last five years.
Judging began in May 2012, with the state-level award presented in January. To win at the state level, B & G Orchards had to score first in the county, then district, then area before competing against two other farms in the state.
Judging criteria consists of the farm operator's instillation of best land practices, implementation of an all-encompassing conservation plan including soil, water, animal, plant, air and human activities, and community development.
Both the Butlers and Elliot agree that one of the advantageous factors contributing to B & G Orchards' award is the diversity of the farm's products. In addition to raising cattle, the farm raises more than 75 different varieties of fruits and vegetables as well as selling mulch, flowers, jellies, jams, mixes and pies.
"In order to survive, you need to diversify your farm. Geographically, (the Eastern Panhandle) is flatter land, we have more acreage to farm and a lot of dairy producers and orchards, in addition to beef and hay like the rest of the state typically farms," Elliott said.
As the state winners, the Butlers will receive $1,000 and 200 hours or four months' use of a new John Deere tractor.

Mitchell Wiggins was a blast from the past, a tiny point of light in a dark and dismal season.
In the 76ers' 79th game, on the night they were mathematically eliminated
from a playoff berth and were guaranteed a lottery pick, he did what he had hoped to do all season.
Wiggins scored a season-best 19 points, matched his season-best of eight field goals, in 12 attempts. But because this is the Sixers season that never really was, he was still just one more soul adrift in a sea of hopelessness.

Jackson, Lakers fined $75,000 each by NBA
Jackson was fined Thursday $75,000 by the NBA -- with an additional $75,000 fine for the Lakers organization -- for his comment made in Portland on April 7.
"Who knows what the NBA is going to look like after this year?" Jackson said. "I think there's some people pretty convinced there's not going to be a year next year."
Jackson was speaking in the context of his planned coaching retirement, but the NBA prohibits team officials from speaking publicly about collective bargaining issues.
Considering his fine, it's worth noting that this is what Jackson said Wednesday night in Sacramento when asked about Kobe Bryant's $100,000 fine from the NBA for an anti-gay remark on the bench: "They just do it according to what a person makes."

Regarding the underweight salmon "phenomenon" article in Friday's Clarion, what do you expect when you overload the system? You can make all the excuses about what might be causing the weight loss, but as long as Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation keeps dumping 600 million pinks in the Sound every year, not to mention Russia and Japan dumping billions of pinks and chums, and the hatchery sockeye programs scattered all over the state dumping millions more sockeye in the ocean, just really what do you expect?
Here I sit next to the picture window watching Kelly dress down Ward Churchill and then Dinesh gives him a go also. Poor Ward, he sure can't find much good in America or anything America has ever done in our history as a country.
If you don't watch Fox News, sorry to leave you out of the loop, but that's not really what this story is about.
It is Friday evening and as I look out the window, I am reminded that nature is far more enlightening than anything electronic.
Many years ago, when the tax cap of $500 on any sale in the Kenai Peninsula borough was eliminated on tourism packages, the borough experienced a huge increase in tax revenues. At the time, I was under the obviously false impression that the increased revenues would cover the budget of the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council, and then some. Apparently, those additional revenues have somehow been absorbed into our bloated government. There was much debate about bed tax vs.
In the days and weeks ahead, we will be hearing all about "overescapement" of sockeye salmon into the Kenai River. "Too many fish will spawn on top of each other," will be the war cry, "They will kill each other off and the run will die off." "Manage biologically" will be heard over and over. "There will be too many fry and not enough food for them to successfully survive over the winters in the lakes." And on and on.
In Les Palmer's "An Outdoor View," May 23, "The state of the Kenai," the author asserts the Board of Fish discussed a proposal to place a 15-year moratorium on the use of power boats on the Kenai River. No where in the proposal book is there any such proposal and I am pretty sure the board never had this on their agenda nor did they discuss it. If I am mistaken, mea culpa. I agree with the author on many of his points in the article.
Who opened up this can of worms again? We already have a bed tax here in the Kenai Peninsula Borough. It is called the "Moock Tax" and was adopted years ago by the borough assembly. Sharon Moock, an assembly member at the time, successfully pushed for this tax and here is how it works. Ordinarily, sales tax is capped in the borough at 3 percent for the borough, plus whatever the city charges if the purchase is made in a city or town that collects sales taxes. So, when you purchase something over $500.00 (the maximum amount capped), your borough sales tax will not exceed $15.00.

CLEARWATER — Members of a regional water board voted unanimously Monday to appeal a $21 million attorneys' bill from a company that designed a cracked reservoir.
The bill stems from a lawsuit Tampa Bay Water filed four years ago against Nebraska-based HDR Engineering, which designed the $146 million C.W. Bill Young Reservoir in rural Hillsborough County.
The agency wanted HDR to contribute about $73 million to the $122 million cost of repairing the reservoir. A federal jury in April rejected Tampa Bay Water's claim. The agency is appealing that verdict.
The court later ordered Tampa Bay Water to pay HDR's costs and attorneys' fees. Tampa Bay Water had estimated those to be between $13 million and $18 million. But when the bill came, it was about $21 million, said Pinellas County Commissioner Neil Brickfield, who sits on the Tampa Bay Water board.
That's more than board members thought they should pay, Brickfield said.
Board members on Monday also modified their plans for the reservoir.
Earlier this year, they hired Kiewit Construction for $162 million to repair and expand the reservoir by 3 billion gallons. But last month, they backed away after state Department of Environmental Protection officials said they were unsure whether the honeycombed limestone beneath it would support the added weight.
They agreed Monday to spend up to about $129.4 million to reinforce and repair the reservoir. And they agreed to issue up to $85 million in bonds to pay for the repairs and other capital projects.
Tampa Bay Water, which provides wholesale water to 2 million customers in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties, completed the reservoir in 2005 as a way to store water from the Tampa Bypass Canal and the Alafia and Hillsborough rivers.
Workers discovered cracks in December 2006, about a year and a half after it opened. Patching costs between $500,000 and $2 million a year.
In other business, Pasco County Commissioner Ann Hildebrand said board members had finished their annual evaluation of Tampa Bay Water general manager Gerald Seeber. The evaluations were "very favorable," she said, and noted that Seeber is not asking for a merit raise. Seeber, who has worked for the agency since 2008, earns $176,400 per year.

Former "Seven Days" co-host, retired senator LaPierre dead at age 83
OTTAWA — Laurier LaPierre, former Liberal senator and co-host of the iconic CBC program This Hour has Seven Days, has died. He was 83.
Federal Liberal Leader Bob Rae confirmed LaPierre's sudden passing on Monday afternoon, describing his former colleague as an accomplished scholar and passionate advocate for key Canadian issues.
"From academia and journalism, to his tireless advocacy for bilingualism, the arts and gay rights, Laurier was an exceptional Canadian who touched the lives of many," Rae said in a statement.
LaPierre's former Senate colleague and friend Jim Munson echoed Rae's sentiments, calling his friend an extraordinary person with the gift of adding zest to any situation.
The feisty passion that made him a household name during his career with the CBC was still in evidence as recently as two weeks ago when he attended local political events in Ottawa, Munson said, adding LaPierre's penchant for laughter and mischief was as much a part of his personality as his desire to fight for the underdog.

Police learned of a so-called kidnapping late Tuesday night in Sacramento, but later determined the call was unfounded.
The Sacramento Police Department gave the all-clear before 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, a police spokesperson told KCRA 3.
Officers made contact with two sisters who were in an argument and somehow involved in the call. Further details weren't released.
Sacramento police previously said officers were looking for a stolen car with a baby in the back seat.
Investigators sought a black Altima after they were told a mother reported her infant was in the back of a car when it was taken from the area of 21st and Meadowview.

Despite a paperwork problem, Julia Krass, a 16-year-old freestyle skier from Hanover, will fly to Russia with the U.S. Olympic team on Wednesday morning.
Krass had trouble getting her visa and was worried she would miss out on a lot of training time.
However, her family reached out to Sen. Kelly Ayotte and U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster. After some work with the Russian Consulate, her visa was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday night -- in time for her flight on Wednesday at 7 a.m.

Innovation often is seen as something you have to solve – something you have to manage – by giving budgets, allocating people, introducing new titles (such as Chief Innovation Officer) or building Research Departments or Labs. This is not completely wrong – but I believe that it's not enough. Innovation is an outcome of a culture that enables creativity, courage, and off-the-wall thinking. E.g. if your company is to hierarchical or to much focussed on silo goals chances are high that the employees stop thinking in challenging and creative ways. It is demotivating when you create an idea, showcase it and get the typical answer of "Cool, but no" or "Cool, but we did try it" or "Cool, but this is not your job"…
That's a pitty because there is so much innovative potential when you involve the whole company and enable each single person to rethink the products / strategies / processes / organizational structures … Be aware that you has to Un-Think some of the things you take for granted. The most important part: Your organizational structure, the positions and roles you have (even the CXO's) and the functional departments are good for reducing complexity in the day-to-day work – optimizing these structure leads to operational excellence but not to innovation. Innovation happens outside these structures, innovation is happing within the social relationships, within the heads of your best people (which is not a function of hierarchical power). So strive for operational excellence but also make sure to make the culture of your organization independent from these structures.
Here are 7 easy to implement approaches you can try to make the first step towards a more innovative culutre. Feel free to share your own ideas…
1. The Green Field
Ask the following question and invite each employee to find the best answers:
"What if you had to build YourProduct a second time from scratch knowing everything we know today. Knowing that social is really core to what we are doing, knowing how the market evolved, knowing that everything is moving to mobile, knowing all of the ups and downs we had about the web and how the web and YourProduct had been monetizing and how journalism and markets had happened on the web. what would you do differently to redo a better version of YourProduct and maybe the industry itself."
Set Up an forum to collect answers within your intranet or set up an internal blog where everybody can post stuff. Just make sure that everybody is able to contribute. Maybe it's a good idea to let people contribute anonymously to avoid that the value of ideas is confused by the position the contributor holds. In a second stage you could ask everybody to vote for the best ideas. By letting everybody vote you get a pretty objective ranking, let people grapple with the ideas which will lead new ideas and get a good overview of the "zeitgeist" of your company.
At the end you can reward the best ideas by giving contributors time to work on the ideas, build products and eventually take part in the strategical thinking of your company.
2. You – The User
Chances are high that you have some employees who are also users of your products. In a closed culture and missing empowerment these people do not connect their work on the product and their private usage of the same. This is unused potential since the connection of internal knowledge and hands-on user experience is pretty powerful.
So, ask your staff who is using the product in some ways and invite these users to give open feedback about their experience. What do they feel when using the product, do they see any gaps? Just start an internal discussions and listen!
3. Back To The Future
Beam your company into the future (say 20 years from now). Make it feel real by telling a story of the future: Wear different clothes, hanging futuristic pictures, creating newspapers of the future etc. Then invite each person, each team to act as if they were in the future. What would be different. Which products won't be there anymore, is there a different org structure? Let people build prototypes or pretotypes of things that will be there in the future. Let them draw a picture that is as concrete as possible.
You could combine this with the forum mentioned in 1. Let people answer the question: What is the future all about. Maybe you'll find the next big thing your company is looking for since you build the first big thing (which was the reason why the company was founded)…
4. Dive Into A Crisis
This is the same approach as the previous one but in this case you don't tell a story of the future but of a concrete crisis. If the company is not too big call everybody for an all-employee-meeting and tell the story of the crisis you created: Maybe the government made a new law which makes it impossible for you to sell your products anymore, maybe Google released the same product you habe, maybe ….! Just make clear to make it feel as authentic as possible and ask people to make strategies how to come out of this crisis. What should be done differently? How do you communicate with customers?
This one could also be good to find your future leaders. People who stay positive and find ways to conquer crisis are the people you need to lead.
5. Beeing The CEO for one week
Give people the power to act as if they in charge. First step: Ask people to describe what they would do differently, what they want to reach etc. Second: Let everybody vote for the best pitch. Third: Give the winners the power to act like executives. Let them use the CXO offices, give them all the information needed and help them to be successful.
This is radical and you might be afraid of your people. Ask yourself: Why! Is there a lack of trust? Do you really think that people are not able to do your job? Just let them try. Give them the power to challenge how you act.
6. The Innovation Date
Set up a system where employees are randomly connected to each other once month into a group of 3-5. Let them spend the day together to share informations, experience and solve problems you have. You could ask the questions already mentioned or give them the freedom to find problems and challenges by themselves. With this approach you make it easy for your people to connect. Just make sure to give them space and time to work it out and use the randomness of their connection as effective as possible.
Your established teams are created by intend – which is good for operational tasks. This temporal "team" is randomly connected – which is a good foundation for innovation since innovation is also kind of random.
7. The I-Day
Take one single day and make it the idea day. The goal is not quality but quantity. Everybody should produce as much ideas as possible. It should be better to let them make it offline. Just give cards or post-its to every person and make a big enough wall to collect each idea. Maybe you turn off the internet for this day and let people sit on different places. Make a goal: Maybe 10k ideas on one day. Let them think, talk, think and give them the time to o so. Remember: 1 out of 100 ideas is something really valuable.
Afterwards you collect and analyse all the input and look for patterns, the remarkable stuffm things that you never thought about. You could reward the people with the highest amount of ideas (not the best ideas). Just make sure that you come out with something that you will do with all the input! This could be repeated and framed by questions like the ones already mentioned.

What's Your Rank, Soldier?Amy Corbett Storch
I have a weird question for you, Internet. It's not pressing or important or anything, so don't feel like you need to put down your bagel/cookie/wine glass for it, but since this blog seems to serve as a repository for half-formed topics I thought of in the shower and don't feel like condensing down to 140 characters for Twitter, here goes:
Is there a way to politely mention that Ike is actually my third baby (and not my first) without sounding like a "don't you try to tell me anything, I'm a BABY EXPERT"-type jerk about it?
Because I am apparently TERRIBLE at small talk, I keep having these horribly awkward conversations with people when I don't mean to have horribly awkward conversations. But it's always like this:
PERSON: Oh! Baby! How cute!
ME: Thank you!
PERSON: Insert some variation on enjoy it while you can, they grow up so fast, he'll be walking/talking/driving before you know it, etc.
ME: (smiles knowingly) Oh, yes. Believe me, I know.
PERSON: (chuckles condescendingly) You have no idea. Have you babyproofed yet? Have you covered your wall outlets? YOU HAVE TO COVER THE WALL OUTLETS, YOU KNOW BECAUSE TODDLERS BE CRAZY.
ME: This is my third baby. I am well aware of the thing about the wall outlets.
PERSON: Oh. Wow. Okay.
PERSON: Good luck with life, breeder.
Okay, that exact conversation didn't happen, but you get the idea. The well-meaning but unasked-for advice in the baby store about what product I simply MUST buy, even though I know for a fact it sucks. The other mother in the check-out line wrestling with two kids jokingly telling me I've "got it easy" because she sees Ike in the Ergo carrier and not the other two I left in the car with their father because holy crap, no way.
The best one was the mother who noticed me changing Ike's (cloth) diaper in a public restroom and commented that he "must be my first" because she "used to be idealistic like that" before she had her second child.
ME: Actually, this is my third.
Okay, maybe that time I didn't really care too much about coming across like a jerk, since it crossed over "harmless small-talk assvice" and into "passive-aggressive judgy judgement."
But then this weekend another mom struck up a conversation with me. She cooed over Ike and then launched into the "Time goes so fast I can't believe it" conversation and then pointed to her two-year-old. "You'll blink and suddenly have THAT, it's so crazy."
She was so nice and sweet and chatty, though, that I didn't quite know how to pull off the "And then you'll blink again and have THAT, A GIANT KINDERGARTNER" thing without sounding like I was trying to one-up her, or make her feel silly for telling me something that yeeeeeah, I kinda already know, thanks.
So I pretended I didn't have any other children. They were elsewhere in the store with their dad, so I figured why bother? I can sit here and nurse and pretend that I'm interested in her baby gate recommendations for a few minutes. I can bite my tongue and resist the urge to make sure she knows my specific motherhood rank and qualifications and advanced placement degrees, right? Who cares?
Yeah. We bumped into each other again, later, at the mall playground, where there was no denying that the three children climbing all over me were all mine.
I was like, "Oh. Did I forget to mention the other ones? Right. Whoops. Ha..ha?" She clearly thought I was completely insane, and quietly moved to the other side of the seating area.
OBVIOUSLY, the best solution is for mothers to adopt some kind of military-like uniform that designates our rank as mothers of one, three, four, multiples, Duggar, etc. That way I won't find myself whining about my singletons to a mom of twins, and we'd all know to send that mom of six over at the bar a drink and an order of mozzarella sticks that she doesn't have to share with anyone, because respect. Duuuude.
Although a more workable solution would be for me to simply stop leaving the house and interacting with people, since it seems like turning harmless idle chit-chat into face-meltingly awkward encounters appears to be my personal superpower.

'Co-Parenting with a Toxic Ex: What to Do When Your Ex-Spouse Tries to Turn the Kids Against You' by Amy J. Baker, Ph.D.
Children often are considered the most important aspect of one's life. But for those who have gone through a messy divorce, the relationship with children may become strained if dealing with a toxic ex.
The ex may bad-mouth in front of the children, accuse of being a bad parent, and even attempt to replace one parent in the children's lives with a new partner. In "Co-parenting with a Toxic Ex," a nationally recognized parenting expert offers a positive parenting approach to dealing with a hostile ex-spouse. Readers will learn to avoid common mistakes of co-parenting, how to avoid "parental alienation syndrome" and effective techniques for talking to children in a way that fosters open and honest response.

'1,107 Baby Names That Stand the Test of Time' by Jennifer Griffin
"1,107 Baby Names That Stand the Test of Time" is a curated, considered, opinionated and richly informative guide that winnows down the world of baby names to help moms and dads make smart choices.
It is the book for parents who know they are naming - not only a cuddly newborn - but an actual human being who will be proud to carry the name throughout their entire life.
The book makes a strong case for each name selected and features the name's definition, its use in history, its connotations and subtleties, and its "meaning" in the fuller, cultural sense of the word.
There also is a guide to the basic rules of baby-naming: scansion - the sounds, syllables and rhythm of a name, and how it goes with a last name; ethnic traditions; recent trends; and effective use of a middle name.
'Blood Will Out: The True Story of a Murder, a Mystery, and a Masquerade' by Walter Kirn
In the summer of 1998, Walter Kirn - then an aspiring novelist struggling with impending fatherhood and a dissolving marriage - set out on a peculiar, fateful errand: to personally deliver a crippled hunting dog from his home in Montana to the New York apartment of one Clark Rockefeller, a secretive young banker and art collector who had adopted the dog over the Internet.
Thus began a 15-year relationship that drew Kirn deep into the fun-house world of an outlandish, eccentric son of privilege who ultimately would be unmasked as a brazen serial impostor, child kidnapper and brutal murderer.
Kirn's one-of-a-kind story of being duped by a real-life Mr. Ripley takes us on a bizarre and haunting journey from the posh private clubrooms of Manhattan, New York, to the hard-boiled courtrooms and prisons of Los Angeles, California.

Following her treatment for addiction and other issues three years ago, the X Factor mentor, 21, is releasing a book, Staying Strong 365 Days of the Year, a collection of quotes and daily goals she hopes will help others. The book is out Tuesday.
One of the quotes, which she shared exclusively on Facebook Monday, is the "Serenity Prayer."
"I have spoken this prayer almost every day of my recovery," she writes in the book, "and it has helped me simplify the sea of emotions and feelings that often run through me, especially on a hard day."
Adds Lovato, "We do the best we can in life, we take things one day at a time and sometimes we all just need a simple reminder of that."
The "Serenity Prayer" chapter of Staying Strong corresponds with an important date.
"March 15 will always be an important day to me," Lovato explained on Facebook. "It's the anniversary of the day I began my recovery. As I share a part of my life with you, I want to hear your stories, too. Comment below using #StayingStrong365 and tell me what helps you get through the hard days."
On Monday during a Good Morning America interview, Lovato explained the format of her book.
"Over the past few years, I've done this thing – a morning meditation basically, where I read out of a book and it's a quote, a passage and then a goal for the day," Lovato said. "So basically what I wanted to do was do that for my fans. It's really cool. There [are] quotes in there all the way from Einstein and Aristotle, to Nicki Minaj and Tupac [Shakur]. It's crazy."

In a letter from 26 September 2016, the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) International Human and Civil Rights Committee called upon human rights Commissioners, and international human rights organizations including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Freedom House, to take immediate action in response to the troubling media reports of the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Moscow being seized, and its General Director Volodymyr Ionov being refused entry .
The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) condemns the so-called "elections" to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in the illegally occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol held on 18 September 2016 and calls for the international community to declare these "elections" illegitimate and to strengthen sanctions in response to this latest blatant violation of international law.
In a letter to Director of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODHIR) Michael Georg Link dated 14 September 2016, Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) President Eugene Czolij expressed alarm over the content of the Interim Report of 2 September 2016 (Interim Report) of the OSCE ODIHR Election Observation Mission to the Russian Federation (EOM).

Don't be fooled by fake autographs
A reader recently sent us a letter detailing how he had paid a lot of money at a local auction for what he thought were autographs from living and deceased Hall of Fame baseball players.
When he tried to sell one of the autographs, he learned they were forgeries, and he was out his money.
Buying and selling autographs can be a lucrative business, but it is fraught with fraud, said Al Wittnebert, a nationally known autograph authenticator.
"There are a lot of fakes out there," said Wittnebert, who owns Uncle Al's Time Capsule near Orlando, Fla. "You need to be careful and know what you are doing."
Wittnebert, who teaches classes on autograph authentication and was a featured appraiser on Discovery Channel's "Popnation" show, offered these tips for buying autographs:
Get your autographs from the source whenever possible. Many famous athletes, and some actors and politicians, will sign autographs at memorabilia shows where you can pay to have something signed.
"The best proof you can get is them signing something right in front of you," Wittnebert said. "Then grab a brochure and a newspaper notice of show and put them with the autograph."
If the famous person is deceased or doesn't sign at shows, there might be an official website where their autographs are sold.
"Make sure it's the person's official website," Wittnebert said.
Buy from authorized dealers. Wittnebert is a member of the Universal Autograph Members Club, a nonprofit organization founded in 1965.
The UACC is committed to educating collectors and registers dealers, who are then allowed to display the registration on their advertising.
"Look for a UACC-credentialed dealer," Wittnebert said. "They keep a current list of dealers on their website (http://uacc.org)."
Not all certifications and letters of authentication are legit, Wittnebert said.
They can be forged just like an autograph.
Don't buy autographs at charity auctions. Your money might go to a good cause if you buy at a charity auction, but the odds are the autograph is fake, Wittnebert said.
"There are companies that prey on charities," Wittnebert said. "They tell the charity they will do the auction and split the proceeds 50-50, and all the merchandise is garbage. The companies make a pile of money."
Use common sense. Wittnebert recounted a story about a man who walked into his store with a photo supposedly signed by the Marx Brothers.
"He wanted me to appraise it," Wittnebert said. "I looked at it for less than a minute and told him is wasn't real. He asked how I could know so quickly, and I said it's because the autographs were signed with Sharpies, which weren't around when the Marx Brothers were all alive."

CLINICAL investigations concerning disturbances in lipid metabolism have opened a new chapter in the etiology of coronary heart disease. Recent studies have revealed an extremely high incidence of xanthomas and specific types of heart disease associated with hyperlipemia, especially hypercholesteremia.
The earlier investigators were concerned mainly with the etiology of xanthomatous lesions of the skin and tendons. These deposits have long been considered medical curiosities, and even today little is known concerning their formation. Tuberous xanthomas were first described by Addison and Gull,1 in 1851, but it was not until 1920 that Chauffard. Laroche and Grigaut2 and Burns3 demonstrated that there was an increased amount of total serum cholesterol in patients with xanthomas. In 1929, Wile, Eckstein and Curtis4 stated that the formation of xanthomas could not be explained solely by the theory of hypercholesteremia and that a defect in fat metabolism, in which cholesterol undoubtedly

Retailer Bankruptcy Speculation Hurting Gift Card Sales
We all know that perception and reality are often disconnected. For retailers, the former stands to bring customers in, or drive them away, much more so than the latter. With so many retailers going under, speculation about who will be next has added to the downward spiral. Perceptions affect more than just the consumers on which retailers rely. Their lines of credit, supply chains, and investor contributions all stand to suffer from negative press as well.
According to a USA Today report, Rumors about retailers can be very bad news for their health, gift card sales are one area where significant declines can occur amid rumors of a store's bankruptcy. As I mentioned previously, in Another Downside of Gift Cards, gift cards may become worthless once a company goes bankrupt. The reason is that companies aren't required to keep gift card proceeds separate until the cards are redeemed. So it's not surprising that people wouldn't want to purchase gift cards at stores that are seen as a bankruptcy threat.
The USA Today article mentioned quite a few retailers which often end up on published lists of companies likely to go bankrupt, even though their financials appear strong.
The takeaway seems to be that retailers would prefer that you don't avoid buying gift cards simply because of speculation about a potential bankruptcy. Unfortunately for retailers, there are many other reasons to avoid gift cards, such as those I covered in The Gift That Keeps on Taking.
Do you have any gift cards that have become worthless either through bankruptcy of the issuing company or due to excessive fees, inactivity or otherwise?
