Dessert Firstby Christine Davenier Hallie Durand
Dessert Schneider has her very own personal style. But sometimes walking to the beat of her own drum means walking right into a heap of mischief, especially when it comes to the legendary family recipe (and Dessert's all-time favorite treat), Grandma Reine's Double-Decker Chocolate Bars. As the oldest in a rambunctious, restaurant-owning family, with a four-year-old sister who is going through a "phase" and two little brothers called "the Beasties," Dessert seems to be better at getting into trouble than getting out of it. And that's because for this eight-year-old, saying sorry is definitely not a piece o'cake!
I Love the Rainby Christine Davenier Margaret Park Bridges
Molly hates rainy days. The gray sky, the soggy wait for the school bus, they seem to make everyone grumpy. Everyone except her friend Sophie, who shows Molly the magic she has been missing.The simple, poetic language in this lovely book takes readers on a journey from the girls' first tentative steps into the drizzle to a rain-drenched romp in a puddle. The lyrical text is perfectly matched by the joyful watercolor paintings, which capture not only the color and beauty of a rainy day, but the warm interactions of the girls' blossoming friendship. An exuberant homage to finding pleasure where it's unexpected, the power of imagination, and the joys of friendship, I Love the Rain will have readers singing, "Sun, sun, go away!"

Just Dessertsby Christine Davenier Hallie Durand

It's up to her to come up with a plan to stop this deadly disease, and when her class embarks on a study of the American Revolution, Mrs. Howdy Doody inspires Dessert to form a club and fight back. But as president of the Annoying Siblings Club, Dessert bites off a little more than she can chew, and in the end, she learns that to have a good friend or sibling, she has to be one.
No Room for Dessertby Christine Davenier Hallie Durand
With virtually no warning, it seems like Dessert's life story is being written in invisible ink. Nobody in the Schneider house seems to remember she exists. Her school picture hanging on the fridge? Covered. The promise of burritos? Forgotten. And her baby brother doesn't even know her name. (He calls her "dirt.") Dessert wants to get back on her family's radar...but how? Let there be lightbulbs! All Dessert has to do is win the Thomas Edison Contest at her school, which will be a piece o' cake. Dessert knows that when she comes home with the winner's trophy, her family is sure to take notice--and remember how spectacular she really is. Big ideas come easy for Dessert...but disappointments can hit hard. Will there be a Lightbulb Lemon Fondue at the end of the tunnel?
The Other Dogby Madeleine L'Engle Christine Davenier
Touche L'Engle-Franklin is confused: Her mistress goes away for several days and then returns with another dog. But this dog doesn't have a tail. She doesn't have much hair. And she never has to go outside when it's raining. What on earth could the family want with that inferior breed known as Baby? Based on the true tale of her own poodle's experience coping with a new baby in the house, Newbery-winning author Madeleine L'Engle gives this familiar domestic drama an utterly charming new twist. Tongue-in-cheek wit, endearing illustrations, and a revealing author's note make this a publishing event to celebrate.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Connecticut's attorney general has sued CVS Caremark Corp, accusing the drugstore chain of selling food, beverages and over-the-counter medications past their expiration dates.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said CVS sold expired items including antacids, baby formula, cough medicine, energy drinks and foods including eggs, milk and yogurt in 20 of 45 stores in the state that his office spot-checked this summer.
The lawsuit filed in state superior court in Hartford seeks fines of up to $5,000 per violation, a sum Blumenthal said may be "significant," and a halt to the sale of outdated products.
Earlier this month, CVS agreed to pay $875,000 to settle similar charges by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, while rival Rite Aid Corp last December agreed to pay $1.3 million to settle with Cuomo.
CVS spokeswoman Joanne Dwyer said the Woonsocket, Rhode Island-based company became aware of Blumenthal's allegations on Monday. She said CVS is committed to stopping the sale of expired products and to remove such products from stores.
"The health and safety of our customers is our top priority," Dwyer said.
It was not immediately clear whether attempts were made to resolve Connecticut's allegations out of court. Blumenthal's office was not immediately available for comment.
In the New York accord, CVS agreed to adopt procedures to prevent the sale of expired products, and post in-store notices reminding customers to check products' expiration dates.
Blumenthal said 10 of the 20 stores found by his office to be selling expired products were also found in a year-earlier spot check to be selling such products.
"CVS peddled potentially tainted food and ineffective medicine," Blumenthal said in a statement. "Whether CVS was careless or heedless or overzealous for revenue, it betrayed its trust to consumers."
The case is Connecticut v. CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford.

People didn't give her much of a chance to replace Marion Barry. She came to the election a neophyte, the lawyer ex-wife of a city councilman. But Dixon took 87 percent of the vote last November to become the first black woman to head a major American city. The drama is by no means over, however. In May, when the capital was racked by rioting in a Hispanic area, Dixon personally trekked its angry streets. But establishing herself has complicated her relationship with businessman James R. Kelly III. "There's so much ceremony and security that he's like Prince Philip, back there somewhere," she has said, not suggesting that she seeks a frumpy QEH image: "If you're going to see yourself on television"—this a nod to the advice of designer daughter Aimee—"you want to give them the best shot you've got."

Wednesday night's two-hour American Idol episode started with 61 contestants going to Vegas – and came to an abrupt halt back in L.A. As the judges winnowed down the singers to the top 24, Jennifer Lopez broke it to Chris Medina, a performer with a big burden of heartache, that he was out of the competition.
Chris dealt well with the rejection: He thanked the judges for the touching moment during auditions when they met with his wheelchair-bound fiancée, Juliana, who'd been hurt terribly in a car accident. Because of that opportunity, he said, "Juliana's more popular than I am."
Jennifer, on the other hand, suffered what Ryan Seacrest described as "an unprecedented meltdown."
Well, no, it wasn't as histrionic as that, but she broke down in tears, over and over – from having to tell Chris bad news, in particular, but possibly from the strain of crushing the dreams of so many singers.
A viewer couldn't help noticing, meanwhile, that the cable box indicated that the show's two hours were up, and we didn't know much at this point beyond the fact that Clint Jun Gamboa was in, and so were the striking Naima Adedapo and the Cat Stevens-like Paul McDonald. As Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson consoled Jennifer, telling her she'd been considerate and couldn't fault herself, Ryan was wondering aloud whether they'd have to carry on without her. At that point the screen gave way to this message: "To Be Continued."
I'd say it was a bizarre night.
The first hour, in which those initial 61 contestants were reduced to 40, saw everyone bused to Las Vegas to pool once more into groups to sing the Beatles. In a free moment before going onstage to perform a duet of "We Can Work It Out" with Sophia Shorai, Ashley Sullivan ducked out and came back Ashley Suraiva. She married her boyfriend, David, in the same chapel where Britney Spears tied the knot in 2004. "You're going through with it," Ashley told her husband-to-be on the way to the chapel, "or I'll kill you in your sleep."
Then Mrs. Suraiva sang, and not too well. "It was not hot today," Randy said in heavy tones. Or as Steven put it, "Yikes." She was among the singers cut.
And yet Ashley, whose sobbing storms would once have made Jennifer look like a stoic, didn't seem all that upset. She was still in a happy honeymoon daze. Good for her.
The Beatles portion proved again that this could be a bumper crop of Idol talent. As in Idols past, many of these singers are too young to know much of the Beatles' catalog. So we always get a lot of "The Long and Winding Road" and no "Happiness Is a Warm Gun." But their interpretations of the standards were often surprisingly fresh.
One of the few weak performances, in fact, was Chris Medina's duo with Casey Abrams of "A Hard Days Night." They were dressed as the Blues Brothers and bouncing around on a prop bed. But Chris's character and his personal story made for some genuinely verklempt moments. So long.

Aeromodeller free flight plans
This time we go to the JUNE 1970 issue of AEROMODELLER in search of free flight plans.
The cover shows well known UK free flight flyer IAN DOWSETT with his giant rubber powered helicopter which packs 24 strands of ¼ inch rubber to drive it's 44 inch top rotor.
The first free flight design is a very nice scale powered SAVOIA-MARCHETTI SM81 by FLIGHT LIEUTENANT T.C. POTESTA, R.A.F.
This is really a very attractive scale subject being a three engined low wing monoplane design which saw service with the Italian Air Force as a bomber, transport , reconnaissanceand air ambulance from 1934 to the end of WW11.
The plan is a 1/8th reproduction.
The model depicted uses Alfa Romeo engines as used by the Italians on the Russian Front in 1943.
Next to CHIP-CHOPPER a sort of Helicopter powered by a COX PEE-WEE.
Designed by E.CLUTTON these are the working drawings and no article. But it appears to be easy to build. I do not know how it flies.
To the free full size plan and CLOUDMITE by CYCIL WEST.
This is another nice looking rubber model described by Cyril as a lightweight rubber powered 30 inch wingspan contest trainer.
He said you will get a competition performance from this model and all details are in the construction article.
Finally to AIRCRAFT DESCRIBED and H.WOODMAN fully describes the ILYUSHIN IL-2M3 .
Nightowl good to hear you enjoyed the Youtube. I have looked at it a few times now and spotted a few well known models plus of course one very well known WW11 R.A.F.night fighter ace"CATS EYES" JOHN CUNNINGHAM.
Here are a few rubber powered free flight helicopters similar to the cover of JUNE 1970 issue of AEROMODELLER.

Rubber powered helicopters
]"TILKA" by Bror Eimar
Seeing this Plan,rang a bell and amongst those "to build" kits when I retired, iI found this:
The "campo" in south Spain doesnt lend itself to FF models or old men running through it,so i suppose it will not now get built, unless I can electrify it and fit a rudder servo.Seems such a pity to waste that lovely Prop and pre made folding mech.

Aeromodeller free flight plans
To the January 1970 AEROMODELER with the cover showing five different Helicopters operating with the R.N.A.S. UK on anti-Submarine duties.
In fact there seems to be a little bit of interest helicopters right now. The first free flight plan in this issue was a helicopter KAMAN designed by J.BISHOP.
Before working on KAMAN the designer said he knew nothing about their mysteries yet KAMAN flew right out of his hand.
It has been posted before by AEROMEDDELER and can be found here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=619
Another A/2 glider was to be found in this edition. THE GRADUATE the work of JIM PUNTER.
This was part of the conclusion of Jims series on the design and development of the A/2 Glider.
The plan was published at 1/7th scale and can be easily enlarged to full size.
Finally to AIRCTRAFT DESCRIBED and the JODAL D-117 is closely looked at with some fine photos and a scale drawing.
One photo I have never seen before shows the fuselage just out of the paint shop being carried on the shoulders of two guys.
Growing up a few miles away from RNAS Yeovilton we often saw Navy formations like that. The return from the Falklands was impressive.

Aeromodeller free flight plans
Staying with 1970 but this times its the April issue of AEROMODELLER.
The cover shows DONALD GUGLERS beautifully restored CURTIS WRIGHT PUSHER which is actually the subject of designer JACK HEADLYS scale power free flight model featured in this issue.
Jacks CUTISS WRIGHT CW1 JUNIOR is a lovely free flight model for those wanting something slightly different.
It comes from Americas 1930's Golden Age of Flight and was a popular ultra-light with over 300 being made in 1931
The build article gives the all important trimming details and the plan is 1/6th full size.
Next a delightful 181/2 inch wingspan rubber scale HEINKEL HE 46 by the great DOUG McHARD.
I thought this had already been posted but a check of the indexes does not bring it up.
The plan is full size and its suitable for indoor or outdoor flying. All the details you need are in the article.
Finally to AIRCRAFT DESCRIBED and yet another MILES aircraft. This time its the MILES M.13 HOBBY a great scale subject.
H.ROBINSON gives all the details of this fascinating 1937 KINGS CUP contender.
Nice. Thanks again Algy. I love the Heinkel plan. I am about to ask a stupid question, so please forgive me as I know pretty much nothing about rubber scale flying: When McHard quotes 22.5g at the end of the article pages as the final model weight... that's without the rubber, right? I am very curious about weights nowadays.
For a superb rendition from the He 46 plan and some build notes have a look here
and how he did the painting.
I've nearly finished a R/C version and would like to do it in the pre war splinter scheme if anyone can help with details of it.

Hi WMD,
Yes the Doug McHard Hienkel H-46 plan is very nice indeed. One of those plans that just asks to be built.
I am not exactly sure about the finished weights though Doug does say in the article that the lighter version he built was just over 16 grams "All-UP". That to me indicates it includes the rubber motor.
So likewise the weight given for the heavier version at 22.5 grams would also include the rubber motor to make the comparison work.
I could be wrong but it does seem logical.
Kiwi thanks for the link to Mike's great FREE FLIGHT site. I have often looked at it over a number of years now but had forgotten he did the McHARD Heinkel plan.
As always what a lovely job he did. Great paint work and he tells how to do it. Also mentions that he pre-shrunk the tissue on the tail structure to avoid any warps. The way to go. The lighter they are built the longer they fly and usually bounce better if the worst come to the worst.
The flight performance figures are good as well. 40 sec indoors with a finished weight of 17.5 grams and it is a nice flyer.

Those weights don't seem all that unreasonable. Perhaps the rubber weight is 25 percent or so of the weight of the empty model. I have a 16 inch dime scale job that weighed 5 grams when it was new. This one has more detail, more wing area, and double covering. If we assume that a 16 inch version would weigh twice as much as my dime scale due to these factors, that's 10 grams. If we assume that weight scales with the square of the wingspan (might be the cube, it depends), we get 13 grams. Add 25 percent for the rubber and that's a bit over 16 grams.

Aeromodeller free flight plans
To the November 1971 AEROMODELLER with the cover featuring a happy group of vintage model flyers seen at the 1971 UK Nationals.
One free flight model to pass along from this issue and it's the SUNDOWNER designed by PETER SCOTT.
Sundowner is a 45 inch span free-flight model for beginners and sports flyers with Peter saying he aimed to capture the charm of vintage flying.The flight performance exceeded all expectations.
Building is conventional and with a calm day and long grass for trimming you will be away. The plan was printed 1/5th full size.
Finally to AIRCRAFT DESCRIBED and PAT LLOYD looks closely at a very attractive midget racer with a lovely unusual elliptical wing layout the MACE R-2 "SHARK" F.1. RACER.

To the May 1971 issue of AEROMODELLER with the cover this time showing DAVID WALKER holding a scale twin engined Cessna 310J.
It was built from a Japanese Radio Control kit one of many that were starting to appear on the market at that time.
One free flight plan in this issue and it's for lovely looking biplane dating from 1918.
The THOMAS-MORSE S4C SCOUT was an early American design for fighter training and J.G. WATKIN'S 1/9th scale model design not only looks great but has a fine flying performance.
Wingspan is 35 inches and a .8 to 1cc power unit up front will have it happily chugging around the sky. The plan was printed at 1/8th scale.
Finally to AIRCRAFT DESCRIBED and one from the Czech Republic that you might have not heard of before.
It's the BROUCEK W-01 that first took to the air in April 1970 .

A car is a necessity of life. The business of life leaves us with little time to get things done. Therefore it is essential to be able to drive and to own a car. However not everyone can afford this luxury of owning their own automobile, luckily there are many ways around this. You can now rent a car online. The prices will differ depending on what type of car you choose and the desired amount of time you wish to use it for. This works out well for those who are away on business frequently. You just select and chose the car of your choice and you are all set.
For a large city that you are new to, a car like Honda Civic would be recommendable. Depending on the company you rent from the price will differ but overall it could be in the price range of 30 dollars a day and upwards. You can rent a car for a month or more and each plan will have a special deal. If your trip is business related then discuss with your company about what option you can choose. A good choice is paying by day. This way you can pay exactly when you need the car and your company or business will be more involved. Rent a car online before you leave so it will be there for you on your arrival.
On a vacation or perhaps in a smaller city, you will be required to register beforehand and sometimes pay in advance. A down payment is usually considered. This could come in the form of an item or money. Certain companies like to work in specific ways. A larger sum of money will be required if you plan to hire a vehicle for a longer period of time. This works out well for the company as it guarantees the security of the vehicle.
There is a wide range of cars to choose from available for your renting needs. It is a real money and time saver for work or simply for vacation. A lot of money can be wasted with public transports and other means while you are in a different country. A car will save you a lot of time also, you do not have to wait around and you can simply get where you need to go. Certain vehicles are more suited to families, or for long distance traveling, so be sure to research into what is currently available before you make the final decision.

What has happened to men being protectors, supporters and heroes? Why have so many men become pedophiles, rapists, murders, abusers and cowards? Yes, cowards.
It doesn't take courage to break into a home with a gun and terrorize a family. It doesn't take courage to assault an unarmed person or beat a woman. Where is the fairness in that fight? It certainly doesn't take courage to scare the life out of a child.
Yet, we continue to allow these mean, vicious cowards to walk our streets and perpetuate their venom on the vulnerable. They don't have the right to harm me because they are angry with someone who hurt them. They don't have the right to harm me because they need money to fuel a drug habit that they chose. They don't have the right to harm me for any reason.
They have an obligation to take the help that is extended in every community to make them whole again. Aren't they sick and tired of being sick and tired? Furthermore, the strong men, and there are many, should stand up and rein in their lost brothers.
If they look in the mirror and see themselves in this commentary, they should pick up a phone and ask someone who has chosen or can offer a better path for help. I hope that I am not alone, but I want to feel the protection, the support and the courage of a hero again.
-- Jean Sims, Warren

Editor's Note: Here at Coltsider, we realize that there are many differing opinions about our beloved team, and each opinion deserves to be shared and discussed. In order to do this, we present the "Opposing Viewpoints" series, in which two Coltsider writers examine an issue from two different sides. The first part of this debate details the strengths of Delone Carter, and can be viewed here.
With the improved play of both Delone Carter and Donald Brown during the Week Six game against the Bengals, the discussion has risen up, which back should get the majority of the reps?
As Joseph Addai is out indefinitely, there should be at least one more week where the two young backs will be the primary rushers. Some fans will claim that Brown has had his chance, and has disappointed. Therefore, Carter, who looked good in preseason, should get the majority of the handoffs (and the start). Others still aren't sure about Carter, and believe that Brown still has something to give.
In my opinion, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but leaning a little toward the latter. During the first five weeks of the season, Delone Carter was not good. He was the 6th worst back in terms of DVOA, and had a success rate of 41% through the first four weeks, and was averaging 3.05 yards per carry. He was bad at blitz pick up, and had not been useful catching passes out of the backfield. Now, he did have a much better game on Sunday, while he only gained 3.2 yards per carry, he had a 64% success rate, indicating an improvement at short yardage situations (which is of course, why the Colts drafted him).
With that game, Carter's stats rose, giving him a seven-spot jump in DVOA, an 8% jump in success rate, and a slight edge in YPC. But, it becomes more depressing when you realize that this Colts' offensive line is actually run blocking very well for the Colts, being ranked 9th by Football Outsider's count. If Carter is only performing like this behind a much improved Colts' OL, imagine what it would have looked like last year, or in 2009.
Honestly though, I like Carter. I really do. He looks like he could be a good back in the future for the Colts, and this year it will be important for the Colts to develop him. But he hasn't played nearly as well as Brown has in his limited snaps. Before I get into Brown's details, let me clarify this: I am in no way a Donald Brown fan. I didn't like the pick when it was made in 2009, and as I've been reviewing the drafts, that pick seems to be one of the biggest mistakes of Polian's time here.
I haven't liked Brown's running in his first two years here, I much prefer a running back who can hit the holes with authority instead of wasting time behind the line deciding where to go. However, I also think Brown has gotten a bad rap from fans and analysts, simply because his weaknesses (blitz pickup, tough running) have been magnified by the awful run blocking the Colts have had in 2009 and 2010.
With improved run blocking in 2011, Brown looks to be the most benefited running back on the roster. While he has been limited, only having 13 rushes (all in the last two games), he has been extremely effective during those rushes. Brown's DVOA running the football is currently 50.8%, by far the highest in the league (for RB's with at least 10 carries). Brown's yards per carry is 5.6 yards, tops for the Colts, and impressive no matter where you are in the league.
Most importantly though, is Brown's success rate. Success Rate measures how well the play is run based on the circumstances. So, a run is considered "successful" if it gains 40% of the needed yards on first down, 60% on second down, and 100% on third down (though the measures are fiddled a bit during the fourth quarter, as a team tries to either run out the clock, or catch up). This helps measure consistency, as each play is assessed individually, instead of lumping all the yards together.
Brown's success rate thus far is an astounding 69%, which would easily beat out Beanie Wells and Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis for the top spot (both with 62%). This is incredible, simply because the complaint against Brown has always been that he's inconsistent- he could get a big run every once in a while, but would get stuffed at the line of scrimmage far too often. This year, Brown has been the most consistent, the most explosive, and the most valuable running back for the Colts when he's gotten carries. Now, I don't think for a second that Brown would be able to sustain these types of numbers as an every down back.
But I do think that numbers such as these show that he deserves more of a shot. He has used his limited chances so far quite well, and he should at least get the chance to try and sustain his level of play across a larger sample size. With Addai out, there should be more than enough snaps for both backs to get decent looks. While many fans have written off Brown, I've been a strong proponent of keeping him around due to his potential to improve this year. I'm glad to see that the Colts did the smart move in keeping him, now I hope they continue on that path by increasing his amount of snaps.
What can Brown do for you? We won't know for sure unless we try.

Nokia providing sporting coverage to mobile phones in US
Nokia has begun delivering live audio broadcasts, real time scoring and streaming video highlights from American National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball (MLB) to mobile phones in America. The system requires a Nokia 6600 imaging phone and is the first of its type, offering a glimpse of live sports action in the future.
While the roar of the hot dogs and fresh-cut grass and the smell of the crowd may be absent, Nokia is delivering the next best thing direct to mobile phones thanks to a tie-up with two of the three major sports leagues in America.
With the most recent signing of an agreement with MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM), the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball, baseball is the most recent content added to the Nokia Sports application. Along with real-time scoring and statistics, subscribers to the service can receive from MLB.com, the official league website, live audio broadcasts of every game (with your choice of broadcast bias - you can choose of the home or away team's broadcast ) daily video highlight packages, game images, league news, current standings and more.
Now available in the US for owners of the Nokia 6600 imaging phone and soon to be available for the Nokia 6620 imaging phone and a compatible data plan, the Nokia Sports application can be downloaded from http://www.nokiausa.com/ .
Once downloaded, users can enjoy a free trial (data charges still apply) that includes full access to all available Major League Baseball content. After the trial period has expired, users can subscribe to the service for US$7.99 per month. The monthly charge for NBA is US$4.99.

Figure 1. Radiograph of the abdomen showing free air around the liver.
Figure 2. Contrast media in the retroperitoneal space inserted via draining catheters.
Free intra-abdominal air on radiography is an ominous sign, usually indicating perforation of a viscus. In the premature neonate, the cause is usually necrotizing enterocolitis.1,2 The term "free air" usually refers to air within the peritoneal cavity, but in this case, the air was in the retroperitoneal space along with extravasated parenteral nutrition fluid. Apparently, the UVC eroded the wall of the inferior vena cava, resulting in extravasation of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) fluid. The origin of free air was either direct catheter air embolus or represented accumulation of microbubbles from the TPN fluid. Biochemical analysis of the fluid aspirated confirmed it as lipid-containing TPN fluid.
A total of 700 mL of crystalloid and TPN was infused through the UVC during the 5-day period from its insertion to its removal. If the vena caval perforation occurred at the time of insertion of the UVC, a larger volume of fluid would have been expected on paracentesis. Therefore, there was likely gradual erosion of the vena cava wall after insertion of the UVC.
Complications previously recognized with UVC insertion include thrombosis, embolism, vasospasm, vessel perforation, hemorrhage, infection intestinal, and renal and limb damage.3 Small air emboli have been described following insertion of peripheral or central venous catheters.4,5 This report highlights an unusual hazard of umbilical vessel catheterization and a radiological sign: vena cava erosion and perforation with accumulation of retroperitoneal gas. To our knowledge, this cause of radiological diagnosed free intra-abdominal air in a neonate has not previously been described.

Brad Pitt's Mom Writes Anti-Gay, Anti-Obama Plea
Every family has disagreements—some just choose to air their divisive opinions opposing their A-list movie star son's stance on gay marriage in newspaper form!
In a letter to The Springfield News-Leader, Jane Pitt — mother of Brad Pitt, soon-to-be mother-in-law of Angelina Jolie and grandmama to Shiloh et al. — expressed her concern over Christians who planned to vote for President Barack Obama, calling the President "a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."
Mrs. Pitt responded to a previously-published opinion piece that discussed Christians' right to not vote for Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon. In her letter, she acknowledges that she also differs from Mormonism, but goes to write, "I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon."
The surprising dichotomy between Mrs. Pitt and her actor son, of course, is that the latter has often said that he and Jolie would not wed until "everyone in this country had the right to get married." Although Pitt and Jolie's impending nuptials proceeding without same-sex marriage rights for the country at large, the World War Z star has been a fierce proponent on the topic—and only recently came out as an equally positive supporter of Obama.
"I'm an Obama supporter, no question," Pitt told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year. "But it doesn't mean there's nothing to learn from the other side." The other side appears to be Pitt's mother, whom it should be noted doesn't deliver any particularly incendiary message, but rather asserts an anti-abortion, anti-marriage equality stance, shared by plenty of others. In the same cover story in THR, Pitt described his mom as "very, very loving — very open, genuine, and it's hilarious because she always gets painted in the tabloids as a she-devil. There's not an ounce of malice in her. She wants everyone to be happy." Still, the dichotomy between Pitt and his mother's beliefs is intriguing, if only for the massively public manner in which Pitt has welcomed his political opinions.

This year's Easter cover story from Newsweek magazine claims Christianity is in crisis.
The article by columnist Andrew Sullivan is titled "Forget the Church - Follow Jesus."
Sullivan claims Christianity is in crisis because Christians are obsessed with power, material things, politics, and other people's lifestyle choices.
He also suggests young people are still hungry for spiritual things - and are turning toward other religions.
The article falls in line with the liberal publication's annual pattern of questioning the Christian faith during the Easter season.
But can Christians really just forget about the Church and follow Jesus on their own?
Dr. Carlos Campo, president of Regent University, challenges Sullivan's assertions on CBN News Channel's Morning News, April 10. Click play to watch the interview.

Tyszko has been CEO at SRCTec, the Cicero-based for-profit manufacturing company created by the non-profit SRC in 2006, since the company's founding. Before that Tyszko was with SRC for three decades.
Tyszko said she was resigning for personal reasons, SRC spokesperson Lisa Mondello said. She'll finish up at the company this week.
"Because it was unexpected," Mondello said, the company's directors will take some time to evaluate the company's situation before settling on what sort of leadership structure it wants to use gong forward. That should take a month or so, Mondello said.
In the meantime, she said SRCTec's Vice President of Operations Drew James "will be stepping in."
James has been with SRCTec for four years, Mondello said. Before that he was with Lockheed Martin.
SRCTec, which along with SRC was ranked the fifth best among large places to work in the state by the New York State Society for Human Resource Management State Council, continues to grow, Mondello said. The company has more than 200 full-time employees and nearly 100 part-timers, she said, and is currently looking to hire more people to its operations around the country.
It recently announced it had manufactured the 40,000th anti-roadside-bomb devices to protect troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and recently won another multi-million-dollar contract, she said.
"We're a growing business," Mondello said. "That will continue."

CO2 enters water from contact with the atmosphere, but only a few parts per million (ppm) can be absorbed. Some CO2 comes from the respiration of fish in the aquarium. If the CO2 content of the water is below normal, bringing it into contact with the air will increase the CO2 content, but only up to a few ppm. If the CO2 content is higher than a few ppm, the air contact will cause the "excess" CO2 to be shed from the water. While good circulation is important in a planted aquarium, vigorous surface agitation is not desirable if you are boosting the CO2 content. With vigorous surface agitation, the CO2 will be shed from the water as quickly as it's added. An air pump and air stone are neither necessary, nor desirable in a well-planted aquarium with added CO2.
Is CO2 Necessary?
Q. I have a 55-gallon aquarium with a 9-inch albino oscar and a few live aquatic plants. I do not know what types of plants they are, but they are very common in my local pet stores. Is it necessary for me to add CO2 to this aquarium? If so, I have heard of a method of making a homemade yeast system. How does this system work, and how would I set one up? The tank is equipped with a 32-watt bulb and a Whisper 300 air pump.
Robert DeSantis
Staten Island, N.Y.
A. Robert raises several issues about aquatic gardening. One that leaps out for more experienced gardeners is that oscars are notorious for wreaking havoc on live aquatic plants. If you have found one that does not find them teething material, you are lucky.
Robert mentions lighting. Lighting should be about 1.5 to 2 watts per gallon (wpg) for a slow-growing aquarium and 2 to 3 wpg for a fast-growing, higher-maintenance aquarium. A mere 32 watts on a 55-gallon tank is not enough, except perhaps for a few plants that can tolerate deep shade. Otherwise, add two more 32-watt bulbs to grow aquatic plants.
Another issue is which live aquatic plants can benefit from added CO2. Most stores only carry a handful of different plants, and the variety tends to change from store to store. Whatever plants Robert has, if they will grow underwater, they do not require, but can benefit from, added CO2. You can add CO2 using one of two methods. One way is to have a fermentation container with an air line going from the container to the aquarium (a by-product of fermentation is CO2 gas). A second way is to use a compressed-gas tank of CO2. There is too little space here to cover both methods at once, so I will leave the compressed gas method for another time.
The least expensive way to set up for adding CO2 is with a fermentation container, sometimes called a yeast reactor. Take a half-gallon water bottle, and put a hole in the cap. Glue a piece of rigid air line tubing into the hole, run the air line tubing from the cap to the intake of a powerhead or canister filter, or to a commercially manufactured device made for "injecting" CO2. Any of these devices prolong the time that the CO2 is in contact with the water, allowing the CO2 to be absorbed. If you just put the air line bare into the aquarium, the CO2 will bubble quickly to the surface and be lost to the atmosphere.
What goes in the container? The ingredients are a pinch of yeast as a starter culture, sugar, water and for best results, a little protein powder and some baking soda. Leave several inches of air space between the water surface and the top of the bottle. Fermentation containers tend to foam a bit and the space will keep the foam from being pushed out of the bottle and into the tubing. A good recipe is shown below for a 2-quart container; adjust the amounts to the size of your container.
- 1 cup sugar
- Dechlorinated water
- 1 to 2 tsp. protein powder from your favorite drug store or supermarket
- 1 tsp. baking soda (yeast prefers nonacidic conditions)
- A pinch of yeast
You don't need more sugar than that. Make sure you don't use too much sugar. Yeast turns the sugar into alcohol, and yeast can tolerate only about 10 to 18-percent alcohol, depending on the species.
Wine yeasts work best because they tolerate relatively high alcohol levels, and your batch will last longer the more alcohol the yeast can tolerate. Wine yeasts can be purchased from winemaking/beer making supply houses. Aquatic hobby stores sell a system with a ready-made fermentation container, output device and yeast mixture, and will usually sell the yeast itself, as well. But any yeast will work; all yeast turns sugar into alcohol and CO2. It will take a few hours or overnight for the yeast population to grow large enough to produce noticeable amounts of CO2. After two to four weeks, the CO2 output will subside as the food is depleted and the alcohol content of the container rises. Pour out nearly all the contents, but leave a little of the stuff at the bottom of the container. The yeast in that remainder will multiply rapidly and replenish the yeast population overnight. Add more sugar, protein, baking soda and water. You don't have to add more yeast, unless the mixture becomes contaminated with an unwanted bacterium or mold; in that case, wash out the container, and rinse thoroughly and start a new batch.
When CO2 is dissolved in water, it makes the water slightly more acidic, unless you have something buffering the acidic effects. You can add a buffer simply by adding baking soda. Because CO2 tends to reduce pH, and carbonates tend to increase it, you can tell the CO2 level by measuring the so-called "carbonate hardness" (or KH level) and the pH. You cannot easily test CO2 levels directly, but the KH and pH tests are easy and inexpensive. The math for deriving the CO2 levels is a bit complicated, but you can just look up the values on the table shown:
KH values are listed at the left of each row, and pH values are at the top of each column. Find the column that corresponds to your aquarium's pH value, then trace down that column to the row that corresponds to your aquarium's KH value. The value shown there is the approximate amount of CO2 in the water in ppm. For example, at pH 7 and KH 7, the CO2 level is 24 ppm.
An ideal CO2 level is 15 to 30 ppm. However, to allow for inaccuracies in measurements, you should target about 20 to 25 ppm. If you get a lot higher than 30 ppm, your fish will be stressed, and they could die if the CO2 is around 50 or more. It's hard to get lethal levels of CO2 into the aquarium, especially with a fermentation container. Lower than about 15 or so ppm, you will not see much effect on your plants. If you use something other than a carbonate to buffer your water, that can throw off the accuracy of the table.
But even at 20 ppm, added CO2 may not increase plant growth enough to keep up with an oscar's proclivity to redecorate.

In 1996, when Nicolas Ghesquière mulled the possibility of a job at the Paris-based Balenciaga label, friends considered it a fashion career faux pas. Founder Cristóbal Balenciaga—couturier to Princess Grace in the 1950s and, in Christian Dior's view, "the master of us all"—had been enormously influential. But after his death in 1972, the house lost its luster; by the time Ghesquière, then 25, took over, the label had fallen so low that it could be found even on golf clothes. "But the name was iconic," says Ghesquière, "and I had this Sleeping Beauty fantasy—that it would suddenly wake up."
It has, and to great fanfare. With his leg-lengthening 1998 trousers, a cult hit among celebs and fashion insiders, and then his 1999 must-have "motorcycle" handbag, Ghesquière, 35, has become the handsome prince in Balenciaga's happily ever after. Now, client and friend Nicole Kidman orders multiple pieces every season (and takes pal Ghesquière to events), Jennifer Connelly raves about his "unburdened talent," and Chloë Sevigny runs out of fingers ticking off favorites like his "paisley patchwork" collection and ultrahigh boots, though she admits, "I fell in a pair once."
Perhaps the ultimate compliment: In a retrospective that opens July 6, Ghesquière's designs will hang alongside the master's in the Louvre's museum of fashion and textiles in Paris (see box). Ghesquière concedes that some may find his inclusion in the show "sort of arrogant, but I'm very proud that this house is having new exposure." In fact, many critics are more sure of Ghesquière's place: "He's the most compelling designer of his generation," raves Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune.
Like the models at his shows who practically race down the catwalk ("I like the idea that you see it, you miss it, and you want to see it again") Ghesquière has always been a man in a hurry. The son of a golf-course-manager dad and stay-home mom in Loudun, France (about three hours southwest from Paris), Nicolas showed an early interest in fashion.
By 12, if he wasn't swimming or riding horses, he was sketching subjects like singer Grace Jones in a feathered confection inspired by Azzedine Alaia. At 15, he talked Paris designer Agnès B. into saying oui to an internship (paid in clothes). By 19, toting sketches he says were influenced in part by Wonder Woman, Ghesquière became an assistant to Jean Paul Gaultier, then red hot as Madonna's go-to guy for cone-shaped bras.
When he landed Balenciaga's top job, things could hardly have gotten worse there: Vogue reported that, offended by a live loud band, people had walked out of a show by a previous head designer. But it was that legendary name that had him "terrified," he says with a mock shiver as he sips green tea in his all-white atelier. "But I thought, 'Be yourself, don't try to be the next master.'"
Good call. From the start, he showed looks that were indisputably his own, with devilish details like wet-suit zippers on dresses (he loves scuba) and Princess Leia collars on tops (ditto Star Wars). In 1998, Madonna hit the Golden Globes in a full-skirted Balenciaga gown.
He always loved unexpected combinations of old and new and pays close attention to detail. "He'd spend four hours in a vintage store, drawn to something because of how the button was attached," says Pierre Hardy, the Balenciaga shoe designer who is also an ex-boyfriend. (Ghesquière's current beau, James Kaliardos, is a makeup artist.)
More recently, he has merged his unapologetic love of the '80s (skinny pants, power jackets) with a take on Cristóbal Balenciaga original pieces, such as the mold-breaking bubble silhouettes. Still, he is ever looking forward. Balenciaga rarely produced bags, but Ghesquière launched a whole line after the '99 bag became a must-have. On his watch, Balenciaga has also opened its first store in New York City. So, while his contract is up this month, Ghesquière insists he's going nowhere fast. "I have," he says, "no limits here."

IRVINGTON — Convicted of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl, an Irvington man was sentenced to 15 years in prison today, the Essex County Prosecutor's Office announced.
In July, a jury in Superior Court in Newark found the man, 39-year-old Jean Joseph, guilty of aggravated sexual assault, sexual contact and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child in connection with the April 2010 incident. The jury deliberated for 30 minutes before returning a verdict.
Superior Court Judge Michael L. Ravin imposed the sentence on Joseph, who had faced up to 20 years in prison.
Joseph assaulted the girl in a bedroom while his mother was baby-sitting the victim and other children, the prosecutor's office said. The 6-year-old, from Haiti, had been in the United States for less than a year and didn't speak English.
Assistant Prosecutor Tara Creegan, who tried the case, said Joseph never showed remorse for what he had done or sympathy for the girl, and had accused the 6-year-old of being promiscuous.
Joseph's attorney could not be reached for comment.
In addition to the 15-year term, Joseph will be a registered sex offender and subject to life-long supervision under Megan's Law.
