Circumcision: Cruel Cut or Essential Slice of Life?
To slice or not to slice? For millenia, circumcision has been a largely religious or cultural decision. More recently, it's become an international health and ethics debate. On Monday, a study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle was reported to have found a link between circumcision and slightly lower levels of prostate cancer. According to Dr. Jonathan L. Wright, who led the research, the findings were noteworthy, but not enough to swing the pendulum one way or another. As he said to Reuters: "I would not go out and advocate for widespread circumcision to prevent prostate cancer. We see an association, but it doesn't prove causality."
According to the World Health Organization, today about 30 percent of men age 15 and older are circumsized, with 70 percent of those being Muslim. Numbers are dropping steadily: in Europe, around 15 percent of men are circumsized, and in the U.S. the rate has dropped from 91 percent in the '70s to just 60 percent today. Here in the states, prevalence varies widely depending on geographical location, with 81 percent getting the procedure done in the Midwest, 66 percent in the Northeast, 64 percent in the South and 37 percent in the West.
The downward trend arises out of growing concern by parents that the practice is akin to "genital mutilation," and could have lasting physical or psychological effects. Though not everyone agrees, according to the British Medical Association (BMA), "it is now widely accepted, including by the BMA, that this surgical procedure has medical and psychological risks." And according to the does not recommend routine neonatal circumcision, any evidence that the procedure lowers risk of urinary tract infections, rare and sexually transmitted diseases later in life isn't worth the immediate risks.
Advocates for circumcision cite the growing body of evidence showing its impact on curbing transmission of sexual diseases in developing countries. As Katherine Harmon of Scientific American wrote last November, some studies are finding circumcision can reduce the odds that a heterosexual man will contract HIV by 57 percent or more. Not surprisingly, there's an ongoing effort in 13 HIV-plagued countries in southern and eastern Africa to circumcise 80 percent of their men by 2015. Across the continent, circumcision rates have risen to 62 percent.
For most of us, however, circumcision should remain what it's always been: a parent's personal choice. With the health issue more or less a push, there's little reason why we shouldn't continue to feel comfortable raising our boys with or without their foreskins. Said Dr. Douglas S. Diekema, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' taskforce on circumcision, to the New York Times: "There's no compelling medical reason to do it. There's also no compelling reason that it's not a valid choice for families to make. There are some small benefits, and these need to be weighed against the risks."

Put all ingredients in a blender. Press puree and run until mixture is fairly smooth (you may need to stir it). Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt if necessary (the chickpeas and tahini probably already contain salt).
Note: Tahini is a paste of ground sesame seeds and can be found in most large grocery stores. If you're making hummus for the first time and don't have any in the house, don't go out and buy some; it'll taste good anyway.
Roasted red pepper: Add several roasted red peppers from a jar to the blender.
Roasted garlic: Add a clove or two of roasted garlic, then taste. Even softened by roasting, the potency of garlic amps up quickly in hummus.
Mexican: Omit tahini and mint. Substitute black beans for the chickpeas and lime juice for the lemon juice. Add a jalapeño pepper or some cilantro if you like, though this is not technically hummus (hummus also means chickpea in Arabic).
Party presentation: Scoop the hummus into an attractive ceramic bowl. Smooth the top, make an indentation, and pour in a little olive oil. Scatter paprika and/or chopped parsley over the top.

To the Editors:
Robert Provine's article "Yawning" (November-December
2005) nicely reviewed his work on this interesting topic. I
disagree, however, that contagious yawning is restricted to humans
and chimpanzees and that it thus reflects the high-level cognitive
processes and social complexity of humans and our closest relatives.
In their 1967 paper in The Auk (84: 571-587), Edgar G. F.
Sauer and Eleonore M. Sauer presented (admittedly non-experimental)
evidence suggesting that yawning is also contagious among ostriches.
In addition, other behaviors such as preening, grooming, dustbathing
and feeding are often contagious in many species of birds and mammals.
Some confusion may result from the fact that most authors use the
term "social facilitation" rather than "contagious
behavior." While these terms are synonymous, many have
incorrectly defined social facilitation too broadly to also include
behavior that increases in the mere presence of other members of the
same species.
Brian PalestisWagner CollegeStaten Island, NY
Dr. Provine responds:
Sauer and Sauer observed that "a bird that yawns quite often
makes one or several neighboring birds yawn too, and yawning
… can spread out like a 'snowball effect.'" However,
unlike the fact of yawning, proof of human-like contagion in a group
requires experimental verification that observed yawns are the
vector for the synchronized response, not a commonly experienced
physiological state (e.g., waking, drowsiness) or stimulus.
This higher standard for evidence has been met only in humans and
common chimpanzees, although contagion need not be exclusive to
primates. Until the necessary research is conducted, the less
restrictive term "social facilitation" better describes
ostrich yawning and other socially synchronized acts (say, grooming
or feeding). A startled herd does not experience contagious running.
Where it is found, contagious behavior is hardly the pinnacle of
social engagement. Yawning and other contagious behavior are better
evidence for a low-level neurological substrate for sociality than a
"high-level cognitive process."

A suitcase full of lost love letters written during Word War II have found their way home to a North Carolina woman. The suitcase of letters was found in a storage unit in Reno. A man gave the suitcase to a police officer at the VA Medical Center.
That officer opened some of the letters and discovered that they were love letters from a Major Lamont Haas to his wife Betty Lou. Haas had left medical school to enlist in 1951. He was lost in a mid-air collision over France during the war.

There and back again: a champagne lover's tale
An early start, decent Eurotunnel prices and the smooth French péage roads now make a day return journey from the UK to Champagne feasible, enjoyable and affordable, writes Caroline Hampden-White.
The theme of our visit was grower champagnes and we had appointments with three quite different houses. Introducing someone to this wonderful area for the first time is an exciting and romantic moment; my photographer husband and I were launching my Paris-based sister and her husband into the new world of the Champagne region.
I'm normally sipping a latte at 10am but today we were being greeted by Jean-Pierre Redont at the gates of Taittinger. A charming man, originally from Champagne, J-P was formerly involved in the political world but now he's Taittinger's Brand Ambassador.
Certainly Taittinger is a grand marque Champagne but, unlike many competitors, 50% of the grapes come from their own vines and the rest are selected with enormous care from trusted growers. They are also the only family-owned, family-run grand marque champagne left; family spirit and values are evident in their business and produce.
Sinking back into the plush seats of their mini-cinema room, we learnt something of the area's background and discovered Taittinger's place within that history: from the thirteenth century Benedictine Abbey of Saint Nicaise, destroyed during the French revolution, to Pierre Taittinger's debut in the early 20th century. Greater detail of the history would be revealed to us later, during the tour.
We descending several levels via a spiral staircase (there is a lift also) and emerged into a smallish passageway, 16 meters underground. You can still see the original stairs the monks used in the thirteenth century and a few racks holding large format bottles of Comtes de Champagne.
Down another level we emerged into perfect storage and maturation conditions of 90% humidity and 14 degrees centigrade. The walls are fascinating. A lacework of carvings, made through the ages, covers the limestone. There are many poignant and beautiful examples from the First World War, when the cellars were used as a hospital, and older ones dating back even as far as the middle ages.

Polar Bears
Polar bears roam the Arctic ice sheets and swim in that region's coastal waters. They are very strong swimmers, and their large front paws, which they use to paddle, are slightly webbed. Some polar bears have been seen swimming hundreds of miles from land—though they probably cover most of that distance by floating on sheets of ice.
Polar bears live in one of the planet's coldest environments and depend on a thick coat of insulated fur, which covers a warming layer of fat. Fur even grows on the bottom of their paws, which protects against cold surfaces and provides a good grip on ice. The bear's stark white coat provides camouflage in surrounding snow and ice. But under their fur, polar bears have black skin—the better to soak in the sun's warming rays.
Polar bears are attractive and appealing, but they are powerful predators that do not typically fear humans, which can make them dangerous. Near human settlements, they often acquire a taste for garbage, bringing bears and humans into perilous proximity.

When something occurs during the Olympics or any other sporting event that is deemed universally funny yet perhaps a little taboo to laugh at. Epic fails, silly sporting wear, outright ridiculous commentaries that cause peels of "Lolympics".

Yelp Reviews
I enjoyed this restaurant for the friendliness of this staff and patience. This restaurant seems popular and from what I could tell, there were regulars in the room which can be a good sign.
I thought the wine was a little expensive but selected one based on the description which said it was dry. On tasting is was rather sweet for me and I let them know I didn't like. I was informed that...more
We visited on a Sunday night and were 1 of three diners we saw that evening. The ambiance was certainly lacklustre and the napkins were stained (but clean). The food was great though and the service prompt and attentive. We would definitely go back for good Indian food or order takeout. The price was great for the food as well. We had two large bottles of water, two main courses and somosas...more
Having good experience tasting, making, or looking like a samosa, I believe I have some sound knowledge in judging Indian cuisines. I was looking to have a delectable meal, especially since the Landmark hotel recommended it hands down. It fell short like my adulthood height. The food was okay at best, delivery service was fine, and I'm sure kickbacks to the hotel were stellar. We would not...more
First visit had the mutton baryani and paneer and was not overly sweet as some suggest but some not familiar with Asian cuisine should inquire about the dishes as most can be adjusted to taste. Note this restaurant in mainly Bangali inspired so will not be exactly like what ur used to at most common South Indian restaurants service was 5 star will visit again.more
Not very impressed compared to the Indian food we've had so far in London. Mostly because the dishes that we had were all extremely sweet (as mentioned by a reviewer below). If you like that kind of thing, then you'll be happy. But we weren't very into a butter chicken, saag paneer, and chana dal that all tasted a bit like dessert. The chicken Hariali was quite hot/spicy, but also on a...more

Well, I got to be *that* homeschooling mom.
I ixed-nayed my 10yo daughter watching Titanic at a girl scout event. LOL There is some pretty steamy footage in there. Now, the poor troop has to watch Hugo, instead.
I fully agree with you on that one. Good for you standing up for what you want for your child vs going with the crowd! =)
Thanks, ladies! I am definitely the odd one out on that, here. *sigh*
Have her watch something like Ghost of the Abyss instead to learn the story to learn the story of the REAL Titanic :) I'm a huge Titanic buff aka the 1912 in my screen name :)
I fully agree - I'm pretty liberal as far as what I'll allow my kids to watch, but I wouldn't allow that for 10 year olds! Not super historical either - there are far better documentaries.

Acupuncture StudiesFrom breathing exercises to heat therapy techniques to biology, accredited acupuncture schools will prepare students to be well-versed in all things acupuncture so they can become professionals who help prospective patients achieve the desired outcomes of better health, relief from pain, or enhanced circulation.
Acupuncture studies are rooted in the principles of Oriental medicine. Coursework typically includes the following: Qigong (breathing exercises), dietetics, history of acupuncture, acupressure, clinical herbology, Tuina (massage), anatomy & physiology, biology, massage therapy, psychology, and other sciences. Two key tenets of Oriental medicine that will likely compose a great majority of acupuncture studies are that of circulation and balance of energy, or qi (pronounced "chee"). Students will also learn the importance of questioning and palpation (a method of examination that uses gentle pressure with the fingers to detect abnormal growth or atypical reactions to pressure), along with close observations of the patient to better diagnose the issues and recommend appropriate courses of treatment. All of this is underscored by the general belief that, in the human body, everything is connected.
While there is not always a quick fix when seeking acupuncture treatments, the hope is that fewer treatments will be needed as time goes on; the patient will eventually return to good health, or maintain that optimal level of health, as attained when the body is in proper balance.
Explore Acupuncture Studies at Accredited Schools Near You
Acupuncture focuses on the root causes of chronic health conditions, such as migraine headaches, by studying the flow of energy in a patient's body. Mental and emotional wellness is also considered as part of the well-rounded evaluation process; acupuncture treatments focus on the entire person's system and can arrive at treatments in a number of ways, via acupressure, heat therapy, or cupping techniques, to name a few. Trained acupuncturists believe that everything in the body is connected; therefore, a strategically placed acupuncture needle in a patient's foot could impact the functionality of the patient's liver.
Just as each patient and his health needs are unique, each acupuncture school will have its own curriculum and course offerings, although there are common threads. If you have a specific interest in techniques such as cupping (suction) or gua sha (scraping), seek out a school that offers such courses.
After you've completed acupuncture studies and taken the necessary certification exams for licensing, a variety of opportunities and settings are available to those seeking to help people find their qi. Many acupuncturists are self-employed. Currently, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not offer earnings data for acupuncturists but the American Association of Oriental Medicine suggests that, depending on treatment costs for their location, most acupuncturists may charge $40 to $70 a session. Those acupuncturists who do not seek self-employment may find work in Oriental medicine centers or perhaps in tandem with chiropractors in the area. Regardless of what setting you ultimately choose, you can rest assured that your services will be in high demand!

The story of 18-year-old Sarah Shepard McKinley is all over the news. With a 911 emergency operator on the line with her, she shot and killed Justin Martin when he broke into her home. She has a three-month-old son, Justin McKinley. He was in the house with her when the intruder came in. She married Kenneth 'Kenny' McKinley, 58, on November 28th, 2011 according to a photo on her Facebook page. A niece in Mr. McKinley's family is upset. The short story is, niece Sara McKinley believes/thinks/guesses? Sarah's son is really the son of the intruder, Justin Martin. Clearly Sara does not have a high opinion of Sarah, but she loved her Uncle Kenny.
Sarah Shepard McKinley's mother was quoted in the Daily Mail, saying Justin Martin had stalked her daughter at a rodeo two years ago, and the two had run into each other occasionally over the years. She also said Sarah did not realize the man who tried to get her to open the door to her home on Christmas Day, the day her husband Kenny died of lung and brain cancer, was Justin Martin. And she didn't realize it was Justin Martin as he was breaking in to her home, which sits far back off of a road.
A tipster who I do not know pointed me to a photo on Sarah's Facebook page which probably would not be controversial without the news of the intruder and the shooting. Rather than controversial, I'll say it is odd.
Sarah McKinley is young. She lives in rural Oklahoma. Most have guns out in our boonies. She loves animals. Maybe she hunts. I don't know.
It's none of my business who the father of baby Justin is or was, and it's none of my business whether the family of a 58-year-old man is unhappy with his choice of a bride. Whatever the relationship, or no relationship, Sarah McKinley had or didn't have with Justin Martin, he did not have the right to enter her home without her permission, even if he is baby Justin's father (and I am making no claims that he is).
The attack, as new reports reveal, may have been premeditated. Ms McKinley's mother told Newson6.com that Martin stalked her daughter at a rodeo two years ago.
The two have since bumped into each other at a nearby convenience store. Ms McKinley said she didn't know who he was until after the shooting, when she pieced everything together.
In addition, two of her dogs were recently found dead.
On Sarah McKinley's Facebook page she says she had to shoot one her German Shepherds which was having a seizure. She thinks he was poisoned.
Facebook can be both revealing and deceptive when a profile is open to the public, as is Sarah Shepard McKinley's under her maiden name, Sarah Shepard, and as is the woman saying she is Kenneth McKinley's niece, Sara McKinley. You will see a lot of Sarah McKinley as it seems she is booked to appear on about every high profile interview show on television. (The photo of the McKinley's is from Sarah's Facebook photo album) The original report of the break-in and 911 call is here.
UPDATE 1-6-12: You might want to browse through the comments below this article. There's some interesting things there – none of which I can vouch for, but it appears a reader or readers know Sara McKinley (the niece) and others have been digging deeper.

Pontiac, Michigan -- Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson remained resolute on the issues surrounding the Detroit Water & Sewerage Department in his 20th State of the County speech.
"I have two of my top negotiators… representing the interests of Oakland County taxpayers at the table," Patterson said Wednesday evening at the Centerpoint Marriot in Pontiac. "My directive to them from the beginning was incredibly simple given the complexity of the challenge. I laid down one rule: 'Remember, no deal is better than a bad deal.'"
Patterson also said that he has instructed Chief Deputy County Executive Gerald Poisson and Deputy County Executive Robert Daddow to explore possible alternatives to the DWSD system.
"There are alternatives and we will be examining them. But unfortunately there is no overnight cure," Patterson said.
The possible alternatives outlined by Patterson in his speech include:
No matter what the outcome with DWSD, Patterson warned rates will go up as much as double.
"It's nearly $6 billion debt and its hundreds of millions of dollars or perhaps even in the billions in deferred maintenance dwarfs the challenges the region faced with the Cobo Hall and the DIA issues," Patterson said. "The system is suffering from decades of neglect and will require billions in maintenance and EPA-conforming upgrades."
Patterson acknowledged Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash for his role in the DWSD negotiations.
"He has been a true partner with my administration in the ongoing negotiations with DWSD. Though we come from opposite political parties, Jim's support for protecting our ratepayers has been unwavering," Patterson said.

Where I go there isn't any rocks just dirt mud and clay. I'm lookin for a tire that is good on the road and good in mud. I was looking at thornbird tsl and I was wondering how good they are or what I need advice and opinions on what tires to look at
I personally wouldn't even consider the TSL. A very good wearing/quiet all-around street & mud tire is the BFG Mud Terrain KM2. It'll do fine offroad & in mud while lasting at least 50k miles and being one of the quieter tires around.
Another option would be Wrangler Dura-Tracs by Goodyear.
I run Dunlop Mud-Rovers because they were cheap at the time, I'd used them before with good results, and I only drive my Jeep in the Summer months...
Tires are a personal choice, but I agree with Jerry - Thornbirds are not the answer!
My .02 worth as always.
I need something aggressive or semi aggressive because there's some pretty nasty stuff back there
X2 on duratrac found them online for 150 a piece. Discount tire price matched and I as out the door under 700. Best tire I've ever had. been 3000 miles and the traction gets better and better I can't spin them if I try anymore. No off road yet but heard great things. Just be cautious for the sidewalls
If you're not rock climbing I would agree that Duratracs are very good. I've used them on dirt, mud, sand, snow and wicked rain storms. I have no complaints and they're quiet on the highway.
Couldn't really ask for a better tire than the Duratrac, I've ran them on my TJ since November and put about 3500 miles on them, no wear at all yet and I've wheeled them hard, way harder than I should lol they perform great in the rain, snow, dirt, dry, heck even rocks and mud. However, I only have two complaints with them, the thin sidewall, and if its extremely muddy on the trails, your gonna slip and slid all over the place, they don't really clean themselves to well unless you get a little speed, or spin them out. As far as the sidewalls, I've barely grazed the side of a rock and put a 4" long gash down the sidewall completely through. Would I recommend the tire? Yes, but for use with alot of mud and/or rocks? No.
TSL is a big no no for street.. You could look into a BF goodrich KM2 perfect for street and off-road.
Thornbirds=thornturds.. JUNK Tire
KM2, MTR, most M/T tires, Duratracs, Treadwright retread tires MTR look-a-like (surprisingly a very good tire both on and off road). There are tons of different tires to look at.
I run the firestone destination a/t
great all season tire for the road. no mud testing yet. I hear great thinks about the km2, the tko2, and the mtr2. I was going to buy a set of mtr2.
What about simex or silverstone tires
Just put on a set of Nitto Trail Grapplers. The salesman said they were excellent tires. :thumb: Actually I like the look of them and the price wasn't that bad, but we will have to wait and see.
How do the super swampers do on the road
I've been running different tires on my Jeeps for close to 30 years now and they have changed quite a bit over the years and the tire makers have different compounds, tread designs, sidewall construction, load ratings, sizes and will you be running mud, sand, rocks or trails are some things you need to consider. Most don't even think of checking the load rating when they buy new tires and that's very important when you are airing down your tires.
Bigchris think about all that is involved before you plop $500 to $2000 down on tires and do more research on the subject then make an educated decision based on that.
Do they make maxxis mudzila anymore?
my jeep has an aftermarket exhaust (not too loud) with the hard top on you cant really hear the destination m/t top off its noticable but i like tire whine but hey thats just me
[QUOTE=idiot magnet;3710888]Listening to a salesman and buying a tire based on how they look is not the best approach IMO.
Yeah I know, I was joking when I said that. Of course they are going to talk their product up, but I do like the tires.
"Friends don't let friends buy Thornbirds" :nonono:
I'm prob gona get super swampers tsl radials
Sounds like you've about decided but I thought id throw my pennies in too... I am a land surveyor in Utah. I drive in just about every condition there is it seems. I know wheeling in a jeep is different than my work pick up but I have had great success with the duratracs. Like others said though the sidewalls are a little week. I am running cooper discover at max right now and so far they are shaping up to be pretty good too.
You'd be better off with the Trxus MT if you go with an interco tire.
I had TSL radials on a Toyota p/u. Had lockers front and rear. The tires were decent in the dirt and good in the mud. However they were terrible in the rain and snow on the road. Traction was marginal at best in those conditions.
I want something aggressive with alot of bite my work is bout 5 miles from my house where I hunt is bout 10 all red dirt roads and thick and sometimes soupy mud back there my jeep is a daily driver but I don't drive on the road for alot of miles just once and a while
Your story sounds exactly like mine. I live close to work and go hunting in Iowa where mud gets really bad. KM2 were my choice. I would buy them again. Excellent in the mud and I have never had any issues with snow or rain on the road.

Tripwire (www.tripwire.com), a global provider of endpoint detection and response, security and compliance solutions, has announced the results of a study conducted for Tripwire by Dimensional Research.
The Tripwire study evaluated the confidence of IT professionals regarding the efficacy of seven key security controls, which must be in place to quickly detect a cyber attack in progress. Study respondents included 763 IT professionals from various industries, including 103 participants from federal government organizations.
Despite the persistent issues surrounding privileged access, almost one-third (thirty percent) of federal government respondents in Tripwire's survey disclosed they are not able to detect every non-privileged user's attempt to access files. In addition, seventy-three percent of federal government respondents assume their system would generate an alert or email within hours if a user...| Read more »

Hi, CindyA!
I love your triangle! Look very nice and great fabrics!
A big hug!
Hi, CindyA!
I love your triangle! Look very nice and great fabrics!
A big hug!
Moving along.... very slowly :) but making progress!
Here are my E11 and F10...
ok... so I can no longer tell if a picture is loading or not. It used to be that once a picture was loaded it would slowly appear in my reply box. Yesterday and today it did not show up until I hit 'post quick reply.' that is - I hope it shows up today!
Happy sewing today!
Gus, nice blocks! I'm having the same problem with posting pictures. When you go advanced you will see your pictures are there.
Gus ... great blocks! And very nice fabrics!
I had problems with the photos load in another thread the other day also!
A big hug!
Dear Jane Friends!!! I have missed all of you however with encouragement from my DJBFF, Fraew :D I am trying to pick up where I left off last spring. My new goal: One block from the current week and One block from a previous week to catch up. Here are three blocks. One from this week and TWO I had started and just finished up today.
<3 Thank you Fraew!
High 5 SheriR!!!!!
We had a re commitment to DJ ceremony and look at the results. All 3 look great but F8 is simply stunning! :thumbup:
Great blocks!! Welcome back Sheri :) keep up the great work.. doing some catch-up myself...
Here are my next three blocks: G13, F5, and F9. I followed basic instructions on thatquilt.com except for a little change to F9. I noted that the original center section was a bit larger and the melons tilted differently, so I trimmed down the outer background sections. I did thatquilt's method of piecing & applique. The way that they have you sew four triangles of background together makes a great difference in getting the points to the middle section very pointy... great tip!
That bottom right melon is seriously not as crooked as it looks !! some of it is the angle of the camera but I do need to take a little stitch on the upper part there I see ;)

Gladys, i love the colors of your TR2. all of your blocks look great!

Big Lots to exit Canada
December 9, 2013,
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Big Lots will exit the Canadian market sometime during the first quarter, less than three years after buying Liquidation World, saying its first foray outside of the United States has been unprofitable.
In a statement, the company said the decision was part of a detailed evaluation of its current operations and business prospects that also lead to a recent decision to close its wholesale division.
"We intend to begin an orderly wind-down process immediately and expect that principal operations will cease during the first quarter of fiscal 2014," the company said in a statement.
Big Lots acquired the struggling Liquidation World in July 2011 with the intention of bringing its brand to Canadian consumers.
"Over the last two years, we have invested in this business and our team in Canada has worked diligently to turn it around. However, we have not been able to gain the necessary traction in the Canadian marketplace that had originally been anticipated and believe that the significant further capital investments and execution risk associated with continuing to pursue a turnaround would not be in the best interests of our company and shareholders," the statement said.
Big Lots reported sales in Canada of $38.3 million for the 13-week period ending Nov. 2, down 1.9% from the $39 million for the comparable period last year.
The net loss incurred by the Canadian operation deepened to $5 million or nine cents per share from $4.3 million or seven cents per share last year.
For the 39-week period also ending Nov. 2, Canadian sales were $112.8 million, up 6.1% from $106.3 million for the comparable period. The net loss was $13.3 million or 23 cents per share, compared with $13.7 million or 22 cents per share.
"The strategic decision to exit Canada will enable us to focus our resources on introducing e-commerce and omni-channel capabilities, rolling out coolers and freezers to our chain of stores, launching a furniture financing program, significantly realigning our merchandising organization, and moving swiftly to implement our 'edit to amplify' merchandising strategy," the company said.
Canadian distribution centers are expected to close during the fourth quarter of the company's 2013 fiscal year while the stores will cease operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Big Lots also advised it anticipates a loss from Canadian operations in the range of $38 million to $43 million, or 65 to 75 cents per share, including charges of $32 million to $34 million related to severance, lease liabilities and asset impairment.
For the full year of fiscal 2013, the loss is anticipated to be in the range of $52 million to $57 million, or 90 to 98 cents per share.
It said it will begin reporting its Canadian business as discontinued in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, with an anticipated loss in the range of $44 million to $47 million, or 75 to 80 cents per share.

Animal of course is not a new thing in the tattoo world because many people choose various kinds of animal to be brought into their skin as tattoo. There is no doubt that people will choose animal which can bring their philosophy as well as symbolism which is suitable with their personality. The beautiful animal will be chosen a lot but of course people will choose something different for expressing their personality more. People can get amazing result with white tiger tattoos after all.
People of course will see tiger as the representation of exotic animal which has symbolism of brave. However, people usually recognize the tiger with the yellow and black pattern. The white tiger must be rare thing which shows more beauty. If people want to get the beauty which has kind of rare touch, it is sure that white tiger must be great idea which should not be missed to be brought into permanent tattoo on their body.
People absolutely will be able to get the beautiful tattoo since there will be combination of white and black tiger pattern with light blue eyes. There is kind of myth of white ink but it will mean nothing if they can get the great result of tattoo which can be placed anywhere on their body for sure.

This Jamestown home came equipped with a large fenced backyard, yet no back door to get there. Our remedy for this homeowner was to remove a window from the living room, cut the brick veneer, and install a full view glass patio door and add a large deck for entertaining and relaxing outside.
Many homes built-in the 1970's have only 1 or 2 entry doors on the home. Removing a window and installing an energy-efficient patio door is a great way to take away a negative attribute from your home and add a feature. When selecting any new door or replacement window for your home it is important to pick one that meets energystar requirements and has sufficient security features. Always look for Low E, argon filled double pane windows and doors. A double bore steel or fiberglass door will allow you to install a dead bolt lock and will provide good security. The next step is to ensure you door jamb is reinforced with a steel backing plate at the latch. Then the final step is to install it correctly with 3″ screws into the studs on both the hinge and latch sides. Additional features available include blinds between the panes of glass or grids between the glass. The blinds inside the glass is a favorite among many of our clients. The blinds never have to be dusted and the family dog can not damage them either.
With the new door installed, construction of the deck can begin. This deck is a 16′ x 16′ square with 2 sets of stairs. Decks come in 2 varieties: attached to the home and free standing. The attached deck less than 4 feet off the ground does not require knee bracing while a free-standing deck will require these braces. This particular deck is free standing because it surrounds a working chimney preventing attachment to the structure (at the chimney).
The railing on this deck is constructed of 2 x 4 supports bolted to the deck band and wooden balusters or pickets. Metal balusters are an alternative to the wooden ones that provide more a decorative and design feature to the deck. The top rail is a continuous 2 x 6 providing a ledge for potted plants or decor. Bench seating is an additional feature that can be built into a deck rail. Ask about it when you get your estimate!

Hilux ute pushes the boundaries of press advertising
Page Tools
News Ltd stirred the $3 billion newspaper pot big time on Monday when the sport section of The Australian allowed Toyota to shove live, front-page editorial out of the way to show off its new, bigger, more American Hilux.
The ad was unprecedented for Australian broadsheet newspapers and the symbolism too was perfect: big-spending advertiser muscles editorial off the page for manna. And plenty of it.
News Ltd insiders say the deal cost Toyota upwards of $200,000 for the one editorial-busting effort.
It was sublime coincidence too that the front-page editorial picture featured star rugby league player Sonny Bill Williams struggling on the field along with the headline, "On their knees".
Corporates have been trying for years to get this sort of advertising "innovation" from newspapers.
Magazines, radio and TV have long acquiesced to the blurring of advertising and editorial lines and now finally, it seems it's newspapers' turn. And don't the media buyers and advertisers love it.
"Newspapers always have to express themselves creatively to get more revenues," says David Williams, advertising director of The Australian.
"The more creative you are, the more revenue you create."
Just how creative the editorial team at The Australian is prepared to get is unclear - editor in chief Chris Mitchell and editor Michael Stutchbury did not want to discuss their fusion of advertising and editorial this week.
But you can bet we're going to see more of this stuff from both Fairfax and News Ltd.
Advertiser watermarks on editorial pages, odd advertising shapes and even editorial wrapping around unconventional advertising visuals are all on the agenda.
However, Alan Revell, Fairfax commercial director, says Fairfax titles would not replicate The Australian's effort on Tuesday.
"Fairfax is open to all kinds of innovative and creative advertising ideas and has created a business development unit partly to push the boundaries of new advertising formats," he says. "However, there is a difference between innovation and dropping your pants, and this is dropping your pants.
"To interfere this way with live editorial is extraordinary.
"I'm surprised The Australian would go that far.
"To take the front page of sport and trick the reader is taking enormous liberty with the reader."
Like most media buyers, however, Starcom chief operating officer John Sintras says that he "loved it".
"I just don't now how far you can push it," he says.
"And how do you compare the Financial Review with the Telegraph? Readers tolerate different levels of integration depending on what they're reading."
Certainly Toyota's effort this week is considered progressive by media buyers and rival car companies but there are still plenty scratching their heads about the rationale for coupling Hilux with The Australian. The target market seems a little skewed.
Toyota's media buyer, The Media Store, no doubt has a page full of reasons why a work ute should go into a broadsheet aiming for BMW-aspiring AB demographics.
In the end, the primary reason is probably that the "idea" was a "media first".
Advertisers and media buyers, like journalists, love a scoop.
Whatever the case, you can bank on Fairfax and News Ltd rolling out a raft of new advertiser-friendly advertising concepts this year. Just where the editorial line will be drawn is still anyone's guess.

How To Lose 10 Pounds Before The Holidays (If You Start Now)
As of right now, there are exactly seven weeks until Christmas. So that means there's approximately four weeks until you're fully inundated with holiday parties, five weeks until you're feeling a tightening in your pants thanks to all the booze, and six weeks until you may be less than excited about all of those holiday pictures.
Wanting to lose weight — let's say those last 10 pounds you've been intending to work off all year — before the holidays is a very common desire, and according to personal trainer Mathew Benvie of Evolve Fitness in Halifax, it's also a completely attainable goal — that is, if you're ready to get hardcore.
"If you only have 10 pounds left to lose, then it's going to take a pretty serious and intense effort, but yes, it can be done," he tells the Huffington Post Canada.
But it's not just a matter of committing yourself to the gym for an hour each day — as most people who have embarked on a weight loss program know, the real different comes from what's on your plate.
"It's the nutrition side of things that's going to dictate the results and maximize what you're doing in the gym," says Benvie.
He says people seeking to lose weight, even in a short amount of time, can get away with a workout three times a week, as long as they're really paying attention to what they're eating (and even more attention to what they shouldn't eat). For exercise, he recommends multi-joint options that involve a combination of legs, pushing and pulling motions in order to get more out of every movement.
"The more muscles you recruit, the more you speed up your metabolism and cause more change in your body," he explains.
Below, find Benvie's very specific tips, including exercises, for losing weight before the holidays hit. And hey, you may as well bookmark it for January too, when we're all looking for a good routine to kick off our new year.
The first thing to cut out if you want to get rid of those last remaining pounds before the holidays is sugar, says personal trainer Mathew Benvie of Evolve Fitness in Halifax. The empty calories are doing nothing for you nutritionally, and besides, you'll be eating enough sugar soon enough.
Green vegetables are where you should try to find as much nutrition as possible, says Benvie, as they'll help fill you up and get your metabolism moving.
Eating protein is necessary for building muscle, and building muscle is necessary for burning fat. Some healthy sources of protein include fish, lean meats (like chicken breast or turkey) and eggs.
No, carbs are not the enemy, as long as you're eating the right ones. And those include oatmeal, quinoa, sweet potato, whole grain breads and the rest of this list.
As we recently wrote, alcohol can wreak serious havoc on caloric intake, so if you're serious about this weight loss, watch your drink choices (for example, stay away from the pina coladas). This goes for juices and pop as well.
Benvie recommends using an app like MyFitnessPal that will pretty accurately tell you how many calories you're taking in, and how many you're burning with your daily activities. "Calories in versus calories out is the basic equation," he says.
Benvie suggests doing two or three leg exercises per workout. "Most leg exercises work basically every muscle in your lower body, and since that's where the biggest muscle in your body is located (your gluteus maximus), it will be the most efficient for fat burning." Squats are one of the most effective ways to work out your legs. Suggested repetition: Three to four sets of six to 10 repetitions each (add weight if it's too easy to get to 10)
Squat jumps are a variation on squats that utilize similar muscle while adding in an extra cardio element. Suggested repetition: Three to four sets of six to 10 repetitions each.
Deadlifts work not only your legs, but also your back as you raise the weight. Suggested repetition: Three to four sets of six to 10 repetitions each (add weight if it's too easy to get to 10) Variation: Start standing upright on one leg — then as you lower the dumbbell or kettlebell, let the free leg push out behind you, working the glutes.
Lunges are another great exercise to work the whole leg, and are simple to incorporate weight into. Suggested repetition: Three to four sets of six to 10 repetitions each (add weight if it's too easy to get to 10) Variations: A walking lunge, that takes you across the room, or a lateral lunge, going out to the side.
Benvie recommends two pushing exercises per session. "With every pushing exercise, you're working your chest, which is a big muscle, as well as your shoulders and triceps," he explains. Pushups, for example, are a great overall exercise for the upper body, and help strengthen those muscles. Suggested repetition: Three to four sets of six to 10 repetitions each
Most pushing exercises revolve around a similar pushup movement, but there are plenty of variations to be had. This one, the decline pushup, works on the upper part of the chest, as does incline pushups (which are a good option for people who are just starting out) , which has the hands at a higher elevation. Suggested repetition: Three to four sets of six to 10 repetitions each
Pullups can be hard to do if you're not at a gym (and hard to do in general!), but they are a hugely beneficial exercise, working your biceps, triceps, deltoids, chest. Even if you need an assist, try to get at least one in. Benvie points out that doing all these exercises can render ab work unnecessary. "Think less about your abs and more about your core, which you're working with each of these exercises," he says. He suggests two pulling exercises per workout.
Any rowing or motion has a similar effect as pull ups, working both the front and back of your body. If you're exercising at home, Benvie suggests using a resistance band or dumbbells to make it more challenging. Suggested repetition: Three to four sets of six to 10 repetitions each (add weight if it's too easy to get to 10)
"In a perfect world, people would do high intensity cardio as well as strength exercises," says Benvie. But if it's one or the other, choose the muscle strengtheners, he advises, because if you do a full circuit, you'll be working up a sweat anyway. "For cardio we recommend doing stuff you like — it burns calories, but in the long run, if you don't like it, it's not something you're going to stick to. Weight lifting is more superior for fat loss and muscle building."

Why darcs doesn't do CVS keywords
From DifferencesFromSubversion:
CVS keywords are single line informational strings that can optionally be added to files to managed by CVS. They look like this:
$Id: File2.java,v 1.3 2004/06/02 17:30:42 JHunter Exp $
darcs intentionally doesn't support this concept. These keywords modify the source files directly, whereas the versioning system should leave the source untouched. Also, it becomes much more complicated to compute diffs, to apply patchsets in different orders and so on. Which date should appear? The date you applied the patches, the date of the latest applied patch or the date of the latest patch applied?
Why it maybe could…
That being said, I wonder if this isn't a smaller can of worms than we're making it out to be. For starters:
- The keywords could leave the pristine tree untouched. That is, they would remain "collapsed" in the pristine tree. Only the working directory need contain their expansion. (this is what CVS and subversion does)
- Darcs operations could pre-process the files to collapse any keyword information, to make it look like the pristine tree. This pre-processing step could also be used to implement pre-hookish features.
- We could decide on a sane convention on what we put on the keywords
- Version is pretty meaningless, but maybe the very latest date of a patch which affects the file; plus the author of that patch?
Ours could look like this then:
$Id: File2.hs 2006-03-17 17:30:42 firstname.lastname@example.com $
Things that need to be worked out…
- What happens when you pull patches?
- Record them?
- Obliterate them?
Anyway, this is all just a bunch of random speculation. I'm happy the way things are, but I think a crappy implementation of this –crappy in the sense that darcs remains intact, but the keywords don't necesarily reflect what you think they might – would be better than nothing.
MarkStosberg (presumably) suggested
darcs changes as an alternative:
darcs changes --last=1 --summary file.txt
It produces friendly output like this:
Mon Oct 25 07:01:55 EST 2004 Mark Stosberg <firstname.lastname@example.com>
* typo fix: scopre -> scope
M ./Changes.lhs -1 +1
''It should be noted that this feature is really neither similar to nor more useful than the keywords that CVS provides; indeed, it's far less useful for the very fact that it *doesn't* modify the source files. CVS' keywords are immensely useful for making the version numbers/revisions of a particular file available to the program itself at runtime; such information is exceedingly useful in bug reports, stack traces, etc. I certainly hope that this features makes it into Darcs somehow –JeremyFincher''
Darcs does actually include its version in the binary – look at
darcs --exact-version.
This is done by dumping the output of
darcs changes --context into a file at compile time, and including this file into the compiled binary. The context file can be generated by the Makefile itself (if you build in the Darcs tree), or in the
predist hook if you distribute
darcs dist-generated sources.
Most systems that I am familiar with allow you to turn keyword substitution on/off. You can have it your way. -ehlarson
No, you cannot. Keyword substitution breaks a certain number of properties, such as the fact that the repository contains pristine sources. If keyword substitution is available, there are no longer any guarantees about what you've got in the repository, as anyone who ever tried to track a vendor branch in CVS certainly knows.
''It's easy enough to conceive a Makefile or predist command which dumps some version info into a file which is not managed by darcs, and which can then be built into the program or installed somewhere it can read. The main problem I face is that darcs doesn't seem to have any concept of concise and unique version numbers that could be used for quickly identifying which version of a program is running. The closest thing seems to be the name+emailaddr+datetime associated with each patch, but just having the most recent one of those isn't right either, because a particular repo might lack some earlier patches. I really miss automatic version numbers. I feel sure there must be a simple solution to this, I just don't know what it is! –BenWheeler''
How about instead of fighting the patch algebra, use it to generate a unique version tag? This could be done by first generating a unique hash for each patch, and then combining all those hashes together in an order-insensitive fashion to get a set-of-patches hash. (Their product mod would work, for instance.) This could be included in the information. Maybe the filename (relative to the repository root) should be part of the hash as well. The information would also include some human-readable stuff (eg filename and timestamp of last patch) but the hash would be the definitive identifier. This would solve the common-case problem: version string to identify executables, and version string to identify the LaTeX file you give to someone who edits it and hands it back. (For bonus points, maintaining a table of hash->set-of-patches somewhere in _darcs/, and some command to preserve an entry there like
darcs idkey [file...], would make life even easier. The table could hold a transient cache of keys, and the idkey command would tell it to never flush the given entry. There would also be a symmetric command to try to figure out, from a hash, which file and set of patches it came from.) –BarakPearlmutter

I have 13000 miles on my XTS. Last two weeks an increasing crunch sound could be heard on the cars front driver side. In the end I could fill a shift of something in the floorboards on left turn or at a speed bump. I had taken car into a Cadillac dealer and they said nothing could be found to match my description of the problem. Well this time I went with service manager of my local Chevy/Caddy dealership. Also I insisted he drive the car, bingo he agreed immediately that something was wrong. So they took it and found the strut was bad and need to be replace. But the first one in stock had a bad plug. So waiting on a 2nd strut to be shipped in, oh and some how they blew out a tire and will have to replace one tire. I love this car but it has seen a lot of shop time, almost 20 days out 10 months. Hey I wonder can I get them to put a match set of new tires on the car instead of one? Well I knew this was possible with a first year car.

|st: RE: proportion of explained variance with log-transformed outcome
|Tue, 18 Nov 2003 16:01:30 -0000
There's a bundle of issues here. To avoid some of them, I'll focus on the idea of R-sq as corr(response, predicted response)^2 or corr(log response, predicted log response)^2 I presume that's what you're calling "proportion of explained variance", a term many dislike, for often-rehearsed reasons. Even with that focus, this is partial. 1 Numerical =========== It's possible that these two measures are fairly close. Presumably that's most likely if corr(y, log y) is very near 1 -- in which case there is little point in a log transformation. The implication is that y is measured over so small a relative range that the curvature of the log function can be neglected. I would never count on them being close. But typically it's very easy to get both measures and compare. 2 Scientific ============ In perhaps a minority of situations, one decides that a logarithmic scale is as or more convenient -- even more natural -- as the raw scale, in which case scientifically (practically, sociologically, whatever) one is as happy working on a logarithmic scale as on the original. Hackneyed but genuine examples are pH and decibels. If the statistics also says "logarithmic scales are better, because then model assumptions are more nearly correct", then everything marches together. This is not an absolute distinction. It seems that economists can flip quite easily between thinking about income and thinking about log income, especially with practice. Both scales make enormous sense. I don't know if "log systolic blood pressure" ever seems quite natural in the same way, even if the log transformation appeared sensible on statistical grounds. Clearly, there can be some tension between the scientific ego and the statistical id (or is it the other way round?) if the scientist (scientific part of the researcher) wants to think in terms of the original scales (and presumably measurement must have been lousy if measured scales are thought dispensable). 3 Statistical ============= As often mentioned on this list, one signal merit of generalised linear models is that they purport to give you the best of both worlds, that you do the calculations on a transformed scale -- by courtesy of a link function -- but get results on the response scale. Perhaps that's something to check out.

The United Synagogue is a union of British Orthodox Jewish synagogues, representing the central Orthodox movement in Judaism. With 64 congregations, comprising 40,000 members,[2] it is the largest synagogue body in Europe.[5] The spiritual leader of the union bears the title of Chief Rabbi of Britain and the Empire - a title that bears some formal recognition by the Crown, even though his rabbinical authority is recognised only by slightly more than half of British Jews.[6]
The United Synagogue was mandated by an Act of Parliament in 1870,[1] granting formal recognition to a union of three London synagogues forged by Nathan Marcus Adler,[1] who bore the title of Chief Rabbi of Britain. Leaders of the organization included Nathan Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild, who served as president in 1910.
At the time of its inception, the United Synagogue was the dominant force in Jewish communal and religious organization,[7] though the organization lost some of its hegemony in the 1880s with mass migrations of Jews from Eastern Europe, who brought with them strains of Hassidic Judaism, Reform Judaism and secularism.
In 1887, Jewish community leader Samuel Montagu created the Federation of Synagogues, which worked to unite Orthodox synagogues of Russian and other eastern European migrants living in the slums of East London. Today, the Federation serves 21 synagogues,[8] compared to the United Synagogue's 64. There are also numerous orthodox synagogues in Britain, including Haredi, Chabad, and others, unaffiliated with United Synagogue. In addition, there are congregations of Reform, Masorti and Liberal Jews that are not included in the United Synagogue; so that, today, the organisation represents about 30 percent of all British congregants. Since 1990, central Orthodoxy has declined from 66 percent to 55 percent of total congregants, though this decline has flattened out in recent years.[9]
United Synagogue provides a number of religious services to the Orthodox community, including:
United Synagogue is an active supporter of Israel. [11] The organisation sponsors trips to Israel for members and youth, distributes information packages about Israel from its website, and offers courses in Israeli history and politics and Hebrew. In October 2014, it urged its members to lobby members of Parliament to oppose a motion to recognise the State of Palestine.[12]
Activities are financed mostly from charitable donations and gifts, and from dues paid by member synagogues. Some revenues are generated from some £80 million in assets and investments (mostly synagogue buildings).[4]
United Synagogue is one of 29 members of the Jewish Leadership Council, a British umbrella organisation.[13] It also elects deputies to the Board of Deputies of British Jews.[14]
The United Synagogue in partnership with the Spanish & Portuguese Jews' Congregation invite you to attend a Hustings on 10th May at Edgware United with the candidates for these positions.

David Pompa Alarcón seems to have inherited an aesthetics of contrasts. Born in Austria and raised in the old country and Mexico—two countries, that, on the surface, have very little in common—Pompa has an innate flair for the odd juxtaposition. Having graduated from Ferlach, Austria's HTL in 2005 (the acronym stands for Höhere Technische Lehranstalten, or Higher Technical Institute), a school focused on Industrial design, Industrial technologies, and Weapon technologies, Pompa first went to work for Agip Petroleum, the Italian-based gasoline retailer that's omnipresent in Europe: his "very innovative and emotional concept for petrol stations" is apparently still being scrutinized by industry big-wigs. He next went on to projects for renowned clock-maker Kieninger, for whom he created the wall clock Pallas Athene, as well as for GLOBO Lighting at the 2007 Salone del Mobile, designing the presentation booth for the release of the Alice line, which illuminated many a catwalk in Austrian fashion shows throughout the same year.
Now he's gone on to a project which—if I may speculate—seems nearer and dearer to the designer's very own internal workings. A grouping of chairs that meld objects of contrasting functionality into a single piece, the Surreal Minimalism line embraces the designer's very own lineage of duality. Most of the pieces feature upholstered seats atop metal bases: nothing so striking about that; the shock value rather emerges from the referents of each component. Thus we see an Eames Lounge Chair (there you are again, oh enduring icon) upholstered in purest pink and done up on a pair of oversized wheels; a trapezoidal coffin-like box lined with plush navy upholstery and perched atop four miniaturized pewter porpoises; a "rocker" constituted of a base of pewter-cast human legs on dual slats and a bent wood seat covered in the oddly-chosen tones of peach and baby blue. These pieces each share a sense of bizarre whimsy that might be seen as a legacy from the mind of Tim Burton (think the resourcefulness of Pee Wee Herman and the understated glee of Vincent Price as the mad inventor in Edward Scissorhands), or Dr. Seuss' best cast of joyful misanthropes.
Pompa envisions the collection as an antidote to workplace drear: "why do we always think about functions when we talk about inclusive design? Interaction is often reduced to a functional basis; this collection is an approach to help objects and humans interact on an emotional level with the aim of stimulating creativity."
The collection is certainly the antithesis of timidity, and if Pompa's goal is to summon a subjective response he's succeeded soundly. The question is whether the elicited emotion is creative enthusisam or abject horror. But, given the designer's aesthetic antecedents—and, returning to the Germanic/Mexican theme, I'd add surrealistic visionaries like Frida Kahlo and Max Ernst to this list—the conflicted response is probably just what he's after.

Result: My Sub Zero was leaking and needed a new evaporator coil.

Port Metro Vancouver is confirming "exploratory discussions" are underway with the Canada Mortage and Housing Corporation over the management of Granville Island.
President and CEO Robin Silvester says in a prepared statement that it's too soon to speculate on the outcome of the discussions.
Speculation swirled yesterday over the possible change of management, with local business owners calling it "disheartening and shocking."
In defence, Silvester points out its successful operation of another tourist landmark, Canada Place, which recently hosted the nation's second-largest Canada Day celebration .

Crude heads for greatest weekly loss since mid-January
On Friday, oil prices soared after losses of more than 3% a day earlier, with traders treading cautiously ahead of major American employment data that will help to assess the overall health of the world's number one economy and crude consumer.
Brent along with West Texas Intermediate crude futures have found themselves on track for their greatest weekly losses since mid-January, affected by crude inventory builds as well as poor US manufacturing data.
Investors are quite skeptical that Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries as well as other producers such as Russia are going to agree to reduce production at a gathering in Algeria later this month notwithstanding Saudi Arabia's attempts to boost prices.
Brent crude had surged 50 cents to $45.95 per barrel by 7.43 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, American West Texas Intermediate crude futures traded at $43.63 per barrel.
Downward momentum happens to be a feature of the crude market, as some financial analysts state.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Five years ago, Richard Hidalgo was the talk of baseball during his breakout season with the Houston Astros. He hasn't come close to matching those offensive numbers since, and now he's hoping for a fresh start with the Texas Rangers.
Hidalgo went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and Alfonso Soriano hit a solo shot leading off the 12th inning, powering the Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night.
Hidalgo helped lead Houston to three division titles and set career highs in 2000 with 44 homers, 122 RBI and a .314 average. Since then, the injury-prone right fielder has failed to reach 30 homers or 90 RBI.
"Every year isn't going to be the same. I've just got it in my mind to work hard every year and do my best every year," said Hidalgo, who hit 25 homers and knocked in 82 runs with the Astros and New York Mets last season.
"I had a lot of injuries with my legs, and I was frustrated. But that's all in the past," he said. "This is a new year, and I'm just happy to be here with this team."
Hidalgo's first American League homer came one pitch after Gold Glove first baseman Darin Erstad threw wide of shortstop Orlando Cabrera on a potential inning-ending double-play grounder in the hole by Mark Teixeira.
Lead runner Michael Young was tagged out by Cabrera after oversliding second base, but Hidalgo drove reliever Brendan Donnelly's next pitch over the short fence in the left-field corner for a 2-1 lead.
"It comes down to who makes more quality pitches, and tonight they did," Donnelly said. "I threw Hidalgo a slider and it didn't go away. It went down instead of out, which is what I was trying to do, and that's my fault. Hidalgo did a good job of dropping the head of the bat on it and putting it out of the ballpark."
Soriano, who last year set a Rangers record for home runs in a season by a second baseman, homered on a 1-1 pitch from Bret Prinz (0-1) taking it the other way over the short fence in right.
"It was a fastball away. I got it away, but I left it up a little bit in the zone. He got the barrel on it and it just stayed inside the pole," said Prinz who joined the Angels last week in a trade with the Yankees. "It's not exactly what I was looking for in my Angels debut. I've been given an opportunity here, and I'd better start doing better than I did tonight."
Brian Shouse (1-0), the seventh Texas pitcher, went 1 1/3 innings for the victory.
Francisco Cordero, who set a Rangers record with 49 saves last year, retired Cabrera on a foul pop in the eighth to get out of a bases-loaded jam he inherited from Doug Brocail and Ron Mahay.
But in the ninth, Cordero gave up a one-out single to Bengie Molina before Darin Erstad's opposite-field ground-rule double to right drove in pinch-runner Josh Paul.
The Angels, who averaged 6.5 runs in Washburn's 25 starts last season, scored in the first on two-out doubles by Vladimir Guerrero and Garret Anderson.
Rogers, who pitched a perfect game against the Angels in 1994 at Arlington, won a career-high 18 games last season. His next start will make him the first pitcher to start and appear in 500 games with the Rangers.
Angels starter Jarrod Washburn allowed seven hits over six scoreless innings without walking a batter. He struck out five.
Washburn also had a career-high 18 wins in 2002, when he won 12 straight decisions and helped the Angels win their only World Series title. But he was 21-23 with a 4.52 ERA in 57 starts over the last two seasons and spent 5½ weeks on the disabled list with inflamed cartilage in his left rib cage.
"His stuff looks good, but maintaining it is going to be important for Wash," manager Mike Scioscia said. "His makeup is going to make him compete no matter what his stuff is like. But if he can maintain the arm speed that he needs, and his body cooperates for the whole year, he's going to be putting up numbers like you saw a couple of years ago."
Guerrero was presented with his 2004 MVP plaque and Silver Slugger Award at home plate before the game. Erstad received his third Gold Glove -- which made him the first player in history to earn the award as an infielder and an outfielder. ... Washburn's .578 career winning percentage entering this season (67-49) was second-best in Angels' history behind Bert Blyleven's .579 mark. ... The Rangers this season are wearing a black patch on the right sleeve with No. 26 in memory of former manager Johnny Oates, who died in late December after a lengthy bout with cancer.
