American-grown hard white wheat may one day capture the hearts and palates of Asian consumers.
Scientists in the ARS Wheat, Sorghum, and Forage Research Unit at Lincoln, Nebraska, are working to develop varieties of hard white wheat that are ideal for making oriental noodles.
Agronomist C. James Peterson says commercial varieties of hard white wheat are now available, but they have qualities needed for making bread—not noodles.
"Our goal is to design hard white wheats for Asian noodle markets," he says. "The first challenge has been to identify the traits desired most. We've rated improving noodle color as top priority, followed by improving textural properties."
On that all-important issue of color, Craig F. Morris, a cereal chemist in the ARS Wheat Genetics Quality Research Unit at Pullman, Washington, notes, "Asians like a uniformly bright product in various shades of yellow ranging from faint to intense. Any sort of gray, brown, or dull-colored noodle is just rejected.
"We don't know yet what gives the noodle its color or why some flours discolor," says Morris. "We do know that when you take a nice, white flour and mix it in an alkaline environment, it turns yellow."
Since Asians prefer noodles with a soft and chewy texture, the scientists are working to breed a white wheat that is low in amylose—a component of starch that affects texture, says Robert A. Graybosch, a plant geneticist. The three genes responsible for amylose production in wheat have been mapped by Japanese researchers. Identifying their DNA locations raises the possibility that they can be manipulated.
"We know that if you eliminate two out of three of these genes, you can lower amylose production by one-third," Graybosch says.
Lowering amylose starch is more important than, say, concerns about the protein we know as gluten. Gluten is not a major factor to noodlemakers, who don't need the same dough strength that breadmakers desire. "Starch quality is more important," says Graybosch.
Hard white wheat varieties are also finding a place in the American market in low-cholesterol whole-wheat breads that hold greater appeal to consumers, especially children.
Bread made from hard white wheat is lighter colored and "sweeter." That's because white wheat's outer kernel contains fewer of the tannins and phenolic compounds that give red wheat products a stronger flavor.
U.S. production of hard white wheat is currently very limited, and nearly all is used domestically in specialty-market breads. Peterson says that "by modifying and enhancing quality—along with improving disease and insect resistance, baking quality, and overall yield of hard white wheat varieties—we hope to increase U.S. hard white production, as well as open the large Asian market for our wheat growers." -- By Dawn Lyons-Johnson, ARS.

Mark Owen has admitted that his children aren't big fans of his music.
His little ones aren't keen on Mark's solo tunes or his Take That songs but they do listen o One Direction on a daily basis.
Mark is dad to three young children and would love his kids – Elwood (6), Willow (4) and 11-month-old Fox India – to listen to 'Four Minute Warning', 'Clementine' and maybe even a little bit of 'Shine' but they prefer to have a little bit of 'Kiss You' or 'What Makes You Beautiful' playing in their home he confessed.
Mark told The Sun:
"My stuff isn't on the stereo at home. The kids love music – they'll put in on in the morning and start dancing around, so I'm getting quite up on One Direction and Ellie Goulding. She's brilliant, I like her. Florence And The Machine too.'
Owen is currently promoting his new solo album 'The Art Of Doing Nothing' and admitted that he worked his recording commitments around his young family over the last year. Mark used a studio at the bottom of his garden so he could still take his children to school and see them each day and he added:
"The kids were at school, so I worked during the day, but it was really going on in the evenings. Sometimes they'd come down and listen to it for five minutes, then get bored."
"What they tend to do more than anything is raid the fridge in the studio for my chocolate. That's the game – they come in, steal Dad's chocolate, wave it at me, then run off."
Mark performed his latest solo gig in Belfast this week and it seems he got quite the response in The Limelight bar. He tweeted:
"Number 1….Could have been loudest crowd in Belfast last night …… We sang our wee hearts out…. Thank you….. M.O x"
His Dublin concert went well too and he added:
"A beautiful night in Dublin last night…… Loved the venue and the people. Thank you for my socks and for singing and dancing with us…."

Well....I made it home for Valentine's Day. And my Mommy found me right here on Catster. Isn't she beautiful? Go read my Christmas diary entry and see if she doesn't fit my dream of home. I didn't make it home for Christmas but I sure did for Valentine's! Chortle!
Here's what my mommy wrote to my friends at Best Friends Animal Society:
"Tom Thumb is loving life. He is getting along with all, very well.
He has made himself right at home--we allow pets on our beds and other furniture--and he has found many places to call his own. He has been great about not scratching my furniture, maybe it's because most of it is leather.
I did buy him a cardboard scratching chaise--he and my other cat Zoey, use it a lot--even though Zoey was declawed when I adopted her last May. They both "jockey" for position on the climbing tree/shelves/scratching post. It is 6 foot tall with plenty of spaces for both of them, although Tom is almost the size of my 18 pound American Eskimo, of course preferring the largest spaces for some elbow room.
So, I am glad to report everyone is thrilled with the adoption.
I am going to attach a photo shopped photo of Tom with Zoe and my two dogs, Apiyok ( A-PIE-YOKE-translated to covered in snow) and Ussuck (OO-sick----translated to little one). I did this photo for my business card before Tom joined our family-so I superimposed Tom into the mix.
Take Care.
DeeJaye "
Ok, so the big buzz at Best Friends is all about how these big-headed dogs, that some guy who doesn't sound too smart had, and now the dogs are at the sanctuary, the dogs are going to have their very own "media day" on Monday.
Apparently this guy who abused pigs and ran aroung with this thing made out of their skin was really, really cruel to the dogs too. He allegedly (yeah I know big words) made them learn how to hurt each other, hurt each other really badly, even kill each other.
Wonder how this guy would have felt if he had to be in a ring and told he couldn't get out until he killed someone or was dead himself?
So you can read Speaking for the voiceless victims if you like.
So, while I'm standing by my much earlier description of dogs as stupid, loud, smelly and vulgar (and they are), I'm really glad these dogs are here and with people who like dogs, like them a whole lot.
I don't know about this group of big-headed dogs but I've seen some of the others who live here and they seem like a big bunch of goofs to me. Hard to imagine them hurting anyone. Guess you get viscious if you are around viscious people.
NOW the really "good newz" is that I have some people applying to adopt me! Thank you, Catster!
So maybe we can have the Good Mews Cat media day at Best Friends. How about it, powers that be?
Well, I've been whining because my family hasn't shown up, and all of sudden, there are several people at once who want to see if we are right for each other.
Boy if it rains, it pours.
So this is very exciting. I'm trying to not get too happy because I know the folks at Best Friends will want to make sure that I go to the people who are best for me and that I'm best for them.
Hard to imagine, but I'm not the right cat for everybody. Like if you have a little dog that barks a lot, let's just admire each other from afar, ok?
Now...I wonder if I'll be home in time for Valentine's Day? Will I get a heart-shaped box full of treats?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Dante dazzled the attendees at the Seafood Fest in RI recently. Although he is not a Golden Retriever, he has his own special charm and is certainly a social butterfly. Dante attracted a huge crowd of dog lovers and no one could deny how adorable he is! Dante is especially attracted to children (and their toys)! One toddler, who has a dog at home and loves "doggies," didn't want to leave Dante. He just wanted to stay and pet the "doggie." Our volunteers had to convince the little boy that Dante was going home too so he wouldn't cry. Read more about this extra special boy with the heart of GOLD below!
Dante is a Lab mix and is approximately 10-12 months old. This boy is about 50 pounds of pure love! Dante has arrived in his northern foster home and they tell us he is doing wonderfully! "It only took him a few hours to adjust to the house, dogs, kids, routine, etc. He loves being with/near us and is always watching what we are doing in the kitchen. He's very curious! He got very excited when I showed him the basket of dog toys. He sniffed around the toys until he found the ball of his choice and the whole time his happy tail was wagging. He eats well and slept in the crate all night without a peep. He is such a sweetheart - very loving. Last night he crawled up on my lap and kept crawling up until his head was on my shoulder and his body completely covered mine. He just could not get close enough to me."
Dante is a young boy with a healthy energy level. He loves to run like the wind in the fenced in backyard of his foster home and romp around with his canine foster brother. Dante likes to chase tennis balls and is learning to bring them back. Dante has caught on that a leash means a fun walk and his foster family is working with him on his leash skills. He will make an excellent running buddy for an active adopter. This handsome boy is becoming more acquainted with car rides and settles in nicely. Humans can take food or toys from him without any signs of complaining by Dante.
His foster mom told us, "Dante is just an overall good puppy who is on his way to becoming an awesome companion. He follows his humans around and seeks out their attention. Dante LOVES people and cannot get enough attention. He put his head in your lap every time you sit down and will become your shadow. His tail wags constantly whenever people are around." Our guess is that this handsome boy grew up with very little attention but he will be a great companion with very little work.
Dante is good with kids, good with other dogs, crate-trained, house-broken, heartworm negative, neutered and ready to go home.
If you are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact the Adoption Committee to be considered for Dante. Or, if you would like to complete an online application, to be considered to adopt Dante, please click this link: Application. Apply quickly - for this handsome honey!
PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: Click for Adoption Application
Direct questions regarding an application's status to: email@example.com
Approved applicants may direct questions regarding a specific dog to: Dog inquiry from approved applicant.
A contract is signed the day of adoption. Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided.
The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers. While we do our best to report any and all issues, SGRR does not make any guarantees as to the health or temperament of any dog. Dogs evolve differently in different environments and we cannot predict with any certainty how the dog you adopt will act in your home.
Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the dog, SGRR must be notified so that we can take the dog back into rescue and place it into another home. We reserve the right to remove a dog at any time should we find the adopter is no longer caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to agree to follow up visits as needed.
Be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog - make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
Dante, a New Canaan Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in New Canaan, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in New Canaan.

McCLEAN, VA -- Mars Inc., the maker of M&M's and Snickers, said it will stop selling chocolate with more than 250 calories per portion by the end of next year. The move is part of an agreement signed with Michelle Obama's Partnership for a Healthier America.
The confectioner, which also produces Skittles and Starburst, among other top-selling vending machine items, may not have to make major changes to reach its goal. A standard Snickers bar currently has 280 calories, and Twix and M&M's each contain 250 calories.
In 2009, Mars replaced its king-size Snickers bar with the two-piece 2 To Go size with a twist-wrap package design that stays tight to keep candy fresh for later consumption. It has since extended its multipiece package formats with 4 To Go and "sharing" sizes to make it easier for consumers to share their candy or save a piece for later. Snickers 2 To Go contains two 220-calorie bars.
Other initiatives in Mars's broad-based commitment to health and nutrition in recent years include its 2007 pledge to no longer market chocolate products directly to children under 12, putting calorie counts on the front of packages, eliminating trans fat and reducing saturated fat.
The company has also introduced several products that have fewer than 200 calories, including 3 Musketeers Coconut, M&M's Dark Chocolate Mint and Dove Chocolate Singles.

It started out simple enough. Matthew Inman is a web cartoonist who maintains a little site that you might have heard of called The Oatmeal. Over a year ago, Inman noticed that his content was being "re-hosted" on another site, FunnyJunk.com, without his consent. When you're on the web, you get that this happens. It isn't fair, legal or okay, but it happens – and there are ways to deal with this kind of piracy (check back later today for a guest post on this very issue).
Inman decided to deal with it by publicly accusing FunnyJunk of stealing his content for money. Apparently, in response, FunnyJunk initially took the images down but since then, Inman says "they've practically stolen my entire website and mirrored it on FunnyJunk."
How many images are we talking? Inman writes that there are 926 images just from his site alone.
But Inman didn't do much else. He decided to take the "catch more flies with honey" approach and be polite, writing:
I realize that trying to police copyright infringement on the internet is like strolling into the Vietnamese jungle circa 1964 and politely asking everyone to use squirt guns. I know that if FunnyJunk disappeared fifty other clones would pop up to take its place overnight, but I felt I had to say something about what they're doing.
So game over, right?
The lawyers got involved (I can say this with an appropriate eyeroll because I am a lawyer). Charles Carreon was hired by FunnyJunk.com to do some legal work for the site. When he came across The Oatmeal's site, he sent a lawyerly letter accusing Inman of defamation and asking for $20,000 in damages. No, I didn't get that backwards. FunnyJunk, the site which Inman claims stole his content, demanded money damages from Inman.
Inman posted the letter on his website and pondered his next move. And by pondered, I mean that he mocked the letter – a little – and advised his readers that he had a better idea:
1. I'm going to try and raise $20,000 in donations.
2. I'm going to take a photo of the raised money.
3. I'm going to mail you that photo, along with this drawing of your mom seducing a Kodiak bear.
4. I'm going to take the money and donate one half to the National Wildlife Federation and the other half to the American Cancer Society.
The campaign, "Operation BearLove Good. Cancer Bad" went live on Indiegogo. As of today – with just over a week to go – the campaign has raised $185,317.
Indiegogo is a platform that helps folks fundraise. It's free to join but there is a fee on any money that is raised: 4% of the money you raise if you meet your goal or 9% if you do not meet your goal. In addition, there are the normal fees for administration of payments (if you've ever worked with PayPal or a credit card processing service, you know the deal).
The company itself isn't tax-deductible and it doesn't bill itself as such. Further, it warns consumers that most campaigns on the site are not deductible and that campaigns may offer tax deductions on contributions only if they are set up as a 501(c)(3) non-profit and only receive funds into their non-profit PayPal account. Proof of tax exempt status is required (here's how that works using IndieGoGo and PayPal). Of course, all of this should make sense to you if you read the blog on a regular basis since fundraising for a cause that you might think is just isn't enough to be tax deductible: you must have status from IRS.
So I popped over the site to check it out. There's no mention of tax deductions on the site. I even made a donation – hey, I hate cancer, too, remember? – to see what happened. I received a nice thank you note from the site but nothing advising about tax or other consequences.
I didn't think anything of it. I kind of figured it was like putting a few dollars in one of those cans that the college kids hold out in the springtime to raise money for their service projects. I wasn't intending to use it as a tax deduction nor did I have any concerns about whether the charitable organizations would actually receive those funds (I assumed – and still do – that they would).
But Carreon thinks that something funny is going on. He advised The Washington Post that he has filed a 22 page complaint with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in the Bay Area, claiming, among other things, that the charitable fundraiser isn't valid because neither Inman nor Indiegogo are registered with the Attorney General (like most states, California has a requirement that charities be registered with the state). The lawsuit names Inman, Indiegogo and – wait for – the American Cancer Society and the National Wildlife Federation. That's a nice use of the resources for those charities, right?
I should clarify that the suit is not on behalf of FunnyJunk but filed by Carreon on his own. In fact, it says, right there in the complaint (on page 13):
"Plaintiff is acting on his own behalf and to protect the rights of all other contributors to the Bear Love campaign…"
Lots of good stuff there, you can read the complaint in its entirety (H/T to Lowering The Bar):[scribd id=97463233 key=key-anat5xmxhcrap1jk3rt mode=list]
What does this mean for The Oatmeal? I'm not sure but I have a few suspicions (and I've reached out to his attorney for comment) and most of them focus on the fact that I can't imagine this is how Mr. Inman wants to be spending his time – answering complaints and explaining his motivations.
As for the charities? Those few dollars that Mr. Carreon was concerned about them not getting because they're being diverted to Indiegogo as part of their charges are, I'm guessing, already being eaten up in legal fees (well played, right?).
And the Attorney General (AG)? I can't help but think that the folks at the AG's Office have to be rolling their eyes at the complaint (by law in most states, the AG is now officially involved); in most cases, they're standing up for legitimate charities, not queuing up to pursue matters such as these. And now, with a budget crunch, they get to focus on this.
Please don't misunderstand my position. I believe that oversight into charitable solicitations is good – especially when there are matters of tax deductibility and charitable dollars at hand. But I also happen to believe that the legal process is in place for good people to do the right thing for the right reasons. I can't say that I think that's the case here.Want more taxgirl goodness?

IBI on Site 1.14: Celebrating Thome
Here is episode number 14 this season of "IBI on Site", a new exciting project here at the IBI.
In this week's show, we head to Cleveland where host Hayden Grove talks to IBI Indians beat writer Jim Berdysz about the team and also provides a firsthand look at the unveiling of the Jim Thome statue along with comments from Mark Shapiro, Mike Hargrove, Charlie Manuel and Jim Thome himself.
This was a new weekly web-based TV show that was hosted and directed by Hayden Grove and included several guests on the show throughout the season. Often times the IBI's Tony Lastoria and other IBI contributors were on, but the show also featured many different people in the organization from players to coaches to some of the staff at the respective Indians' affiliates. Over the course of the season the show was taped "on site" at the various affiliates in the Indians organization.
Enjoy and please provide feedback and ideas by commenting below or emailing us by using the contact form above. This was the final show of the season, so special thanks to Hayden for a nice job! We hope you liked the show and hope we can bring it back next season!

The theme I am building have 1 main css (style.css) and 1 css for the color style , bg etc .. named by the color .. blue.css .. orange.css etc ..

My friend's husband and my husband decided to start their own business this year while both of us had buns in the oven. Needless to say, we're pinching pennies this holiday season...which is a great opportunity to get creative! My friend and I created this fun project for my kids to work on, and we spent a crafty afternoon creating a simple, low-cost holiday table decoration with high impact. The kids had a ton of fun painting and, what's more, the table runners double as wrapping paper!
Unroll the kraft paper along the width of the table with approximately 10 inches more to hang over each side, then cut. (We cut ours in half length-wise to create two side-by-side runners.) Squeeze about a tablespoon of white paint onto the paper plate and mix together with water using a sponge brush to create a creamy but not runny texture. My kids became experts at finding just the right consistency.
We used star stencils and a sponge brush to paint the stars on the craft paper, but really any design could be used. My two-year-old was content to dab paint just in the middle of the stencils so I helped her fill out the rest of the star.
My seven-year-old worked independently at the other end of the paper taking creative liberty as to where each star would go. Don't worry if it isn't perfect. That's part of the charm!
Simple & Cheery! Love it! What a fun afternoon with the kids.

this looks so fun! kim, what kind of stencils did you use? dont want to make a trip to the craft store so wondering if there's some easy diy stencils to make
posted by: Kara on 11.30.2012comment on this
We used a Martha Stewart stencil from Michaels (I'm a total sucker for pretty packaging) but you could use anything. You could make a star shape potato stamp. Or I often draw my own templates on cardstock or another thick paper. Cut it out and voila! I did a google search for "free star templates" and found this one. It looks similar to the star shape we used. Enjoy! http://rubberstamping.about.com/od/templates/ig/Christmas-Templates/Star-Template.htm

text: Jan 21, 2014 - I have THICK, 3B hair, and I was looking for something I could leave in to fight the frizz and general poofy-ness: CONS - On two separate occasions, after washing and conditioning my hair, I used this product as a leave-in moisturizer to help keep my hair from frizzing, but it just wasn't strong enough for my hair (and I made sure to distribute the product evenly). The second time I used more product, but it still wasn't enough. After pairing the product with Pantene Pro-V's "Curl Defining Maximum Hold Mousse" (SheaMoisture first, mousse second), it worked like a charm! I definitely saw a difference in my typically untamable hair (less frizz, less poof). - I have to store this product upside down. I'm guessing it's the thickness of the product, but I had to shake the bottle ridiculously hard to get the product to the actual opening of the bottle. Weird. PROS - I don't like the smell of coconut, but this product actually smells pretty good (not too 'coconut-y') - This product is great for TOUCHING UP your hair after you've washed and conditioned it. - WHEN PAIRED WITH SOMETHING ELSE, this product definitely helps keep my hair frizz- and poof-free.

Spectrum Of Online Friendship
Mike Arauz from Digital agency Undercurrent illustrates his conclusions on online friendship. He says that instead of worrying about terms like 'friend' companies should ask how do they move their friends from acquaintanceship to "best friendliness"?
Over on his site Arauz describes each stage in detail and while my own experience with PSFK doesn't allow me to fully agree with the steps and even the actions he considers fit in each stage it's a very useful piece to base discussion around. In summary:
Passive Interest e.g. repeat visits, blog readers, fans, followers, etc.
Active Interest e.g. people who leave comments on your blog, wall comments, @replies on Twitter, etc.
Sharing e.g. social bookmarking, retweeting links, posting links and content to my own sites and profiles, etc
Public Dialogue e.g. public @replies, referrals in a blog post, and references posted to our various sites and profiles, etc.
Private Dialogue e.g. exchanging email, TXT messages, IM, and direct messages on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, etc.
Advocacy e.g. same tools as Sharing, but different language; usually entails recommending the person or brand, and not just a specific piece of content
Now I write about it, maybe the issue is that Arauz sees one axis of friendship when there could be a two or three. Maybe one axis could be about a friend's motivations, another about the balance of value of the friendship to either me or them and another about that friend's social activity.

FCC Approves AT&T Purchase of WCS, Comcast Spectrum to Boost Its LTE
Jason Mick
December 19, 2012 10:01 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Spectrum will take approximately three years to fully develop
In 1997 the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
sold hundreds of spectrum licenses to AT&T, Inc. (
) and other carriers, raising $14.7M USD. The only problem was that the spectrum in question lay adjacent to Sirius XM Inc.'s (
) satellite radio band, and it was feared that if AT&T made use of its new spectrum it would cause interference. Despite the fact that the FCC willingly sold the licenses to AT&T -- or other carriers which in turn sold it to AT&T -- it refused to authorize the use until Sirius XM and the carrier worked out a deal.
I. FCC Keeps the Good Times Rolling for AT&T
For over a decade that deal was never reached and the spectrum -- in the so-called WCS (Wireless Communications Service) band -- went unused.
But earlier this year Sirius XM and AT&T
finally settled their differences
after AT&T promised to set aside some of the spectrum to use as a "buffer" -- unused space between the two company's holdings, designed to prevent interference.
The FCC has approved two AT&T spectrum deals in the last three months.
[Image Source: Andrew Hinderaker]
The FCC
gave the deal its blessing
in October, and AT&T was officially in the WCS game. It then closed a set of deals with Comcast Corp. (
) and Horizon Wi-Com, a startup which rode the now-defunct WiMAX 4G standard, to acquire 608 more WCS licenses (enough spectrum to cover 82 percent of the population in 48).
The FCC this week
those license transfers.
II. A Long Road to Better Coverage
Between the October and December approvals, AT&T now has
a lot of spectrum
on its hands to improve its service. But it will take a lot of work to do that. By AT&T's best estimate it will take "approximately three years" to fully leverage the new spectrum.
On the network side AT&T has to upgrade its base-stations; in some cases this may consist of a simple firmware upgrade, in other cases new hardware may be necessary to broadcast in the newly acquired chunks of WCS space.
Network upgrades will be necessary to use the new spectrum. [Image Source: Wind River blog]
On the device side, the broadcasting support is useless, if the chips in smartphones aren't designed to make use of the space. Again, here a mix of firmware and hardware (antenna, etc.) modifications will likely need to be applied in order to send and receive signals clearly on the new chunk of spectrum.
AT&T hopes to turn off its current fallback 2G network (EDGE) in 2017. It has begun the work to shuffle some 2G spectrum to 3G (HSPA+) and 4G (LTE) offerings, but again this will be a slow transition. AT&T also
plans to activate "advanced LTE"
, which is expected to include voice-over LTE in 2013 (currently AT&T's 4G LTE network is only used for data traffic).
The carrier is the
nation's second largest
and twentieth largest carrier in the world, serving approximately 100.7M USD device-owning Americans.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Thank you for using JustAnswer. I am researching your issue and will respond shortly.
No, this would not be a crime. Coercion, legally, is conduct that attempts to influence by physical force or threat of physical force. Making an argument with words, etc... would not constitute coercion unless it was of the type where he said that she should have sex with him "or else" he'll do something to her.
Coercion in a criminal context requires a negative consequence.
IF there was no "or else" that would harm the "victim" or the property / loved one of the victim, that would certainly not be coercion.
He said that it was "his" responsiblity to know that he did not "take away her choices" or options. He read that there doesn't have to be a physical threat, just the idea that he "took away her choices" and therefore is coercion... Based on the fact tat he took away her choices... I say that she always had choices, she easily could have just left. Does this make sense? Know that the person he had sex with did consent and he even checked with her after all these years and she didn't even remember it and doesn't remember it being a big deal. His whole thought is the fact that he "took away her choices" by saying, "please baby please" about 10 times....
Unless she had some sort of mental defect that made her incapable of making a different choice AND he knew about that defect, then this did not take away her other choices. It would pretty much have to be physical force or a threat of physical force (otherwise the person could get up and leave) for it to be coercion. She would have to have no other option AT ALL for that to be coercion.
Hope that clears things up a bit. If you have any other questions, please let me know. If not, and you have not yet, please rate my answer AND press the "submit" button, if applicable. Please note that I don't get any credit for my answer unless and until you rate it a 3, 4, 5 (good or better). Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX luck to you!
Okay -- the last thing on this just so that I can talk to him about this... There is absolutely no mental defect, but he says that because her personality type is one that easily gives in and he knows that, he knew that by asking her many times, she would give in. In his mind -- again -- coercion. I've been telling him it's a give-and-take between two people who, at the time love and trust one another. I need more legal jargon to get through to him. Once he asked her the last time, he waited to get a response, he insists this was bad and that he needed to inform her that she has other choices, that because of his begging, she "may" not have known them at the time. He feels it was "his" responsiblity to actually tell her this???
No, of course not. Attempted rape is assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with another person without that person's consent. Consent is permission for something to happen or agreement to do something. Even if she's of the type that can be easily persuaded, if she CAN say no, then she has the ability to consent. Only if she did not possess the ability to say no would there legally be no consent.
The law doesn't look at how easily persuadable the person is, but rather if they have an ability to say no in the first place AND whether the alleged perpetrator knows this or not.
Sexually promiscuous individuals are easily persuaded into having sex. That doesn't make every time they have sex rape, because they do so consensually. Only if they don't have the ability to say no (without serious harm to themselves) would that be rape.
(I'm not saying that this girlfriend is sexually promiscuous, but the point about being persuaded into having sex is what I was getting to there)
Yes, understood. Thanks for your input. I hope he will listen to this... coming from an attorney. Thank you.

So what is this Mom Sexy business about? Mary at The Mommyologist is celebrating her one year blogoversary this week. In that one short year she has built something really amazing. Her blog was recently voted the Best Parenting Blog by Nickolodeon's Parents Connect network. In short, she rocks.
Mary's mission is to bring MOM SEXY back. As she says, "There is just no reason we should let the fact that we are mothers make us feel any less sexy... We can still be sexy as ever, but it's a different kind of sexy. It's MOM SEXY."
In honor of Mary's blogoversary and mission, I offer my list of the Top Ten Reasons I am MOM SEXY:
- My boobs are more likely to qualify me for National Geographic than Playboy, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- I've gone from planning corporate events to planning play dates, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- I can count on one hand the number of times my husband and I have been out together in the past two years, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- Dinner out now involves Applebee's, not the new hot spot, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- The scars on my abdomen resemble a smiley face, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- I may go
daysweeks without shaving my legs, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- An alarming percentage of my conversations are about poop, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- Speaking of poop, I've wiped it from rear ends, chairs, walls, floors, bathtubs and our deck. So far. But I'm still MOM SEXY!
- My hair is in a semi-permanent ponytail, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
- I couldn't name any of the artists on the radio today, yet can sing most of the PBS TV show theme songs, but I'm still MOM SEXY!
But we should all feel sexy moms! We are amazing. Let's start at the beginning. Our bodies created life! We nurtured another human being inside our own body. And, for some of us, we continued to nurture that life at the breast. My husband has often pointed out how truly amazing that is. Ladies, our bodies ROCK!
Yes, having children changes our bodies forever, in ways we never imagined and are certainly not prepared to accept. And for those of us who did nurse, there were more humiliating changes. It makes us mad. It makes us sad. It is SO not fair. But while our bodies may not be what they once were, they are even more sexy than ever.
Beyond the physical is the fact that we handle more before lunch than most people do in a day. No one is more efficient, hard working or capable than a mom. And that is very, very sexy. We may not feel like we have it all together. We may not look it. But ladies, we have got it going on!
So tell me, how are you MOM SEXY? Join in this week and show the world how you are bringing MOM SEXY back! And be sure to link up to Mary...

Ten people have been killed when an apartment tower under construction collapsed on adjacent buildings in the Egyptian city of Alexandria.
Five other people were injured and search teams are continuing to look for survivors buried under rubble.
The 11-storey building in the poor Alexandria neighbourhood of al-Gomrouk collapsed on to three adjacent buildings, reducing much of the structures to rubble. All the dead and wounded lived in the three smaller buildings.
Building collapses are not uncommon in Egypt, where shoddy construction is widespread in shanty towns, poor city neighbourhoods and rural areas.

An enduring element of summer camps is the songs campers sing around the campfire, at meals, and on many other occasions. Some regale the camp experience and others spur the camp's athletes on to victory.
Throughout New England, barns attached to houses are fairly common. Why were the buildings connected? What did farmers or families gain by doing this? The phenomenon was captured in the words of a children's song, "Big house, little house, back house, barn," (Thomas C. Hubka Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn, the Connected Farm Buildings of New England, University Press of New England, 1984.)
Enemies at Sea, Companions in Death
Lt. William Burrows and Commander Samuel Blyth, commanders of the USS Enterprise and the HMS Boxer, led their ships and crews in Battle in Muscongus Bay on Sept. 5, 1813. The American ship was victorious, but both captains were killed. Portland staged a large and regal joint burial.

CABINET has approved an increase in the staff of the Financial Intelligence Unit by ten, Minister of Finance and the Economy, Larry Howai, revealed yesterday as the Senate passed legislation designed to make it easier for the State to pursue money-launderers.
The legislation was passed after two days of sittings in the Senate, during the vacation period. In wrapping-up debate of the reforms – involving amendment of the Financial Intelligence Unit; the Proceeds of Crime Act and the Anti-Terrorism Act – Howai stated that the country was not currently at risk of being blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force, the G7 entity which rates nations on measures to combat money-laundering.

Citation: Roodsari, R., Pachepsky, Y.A., Shelton, D.R., Shirmohammadi, P., Sadeghi, A.M., Starr, J.L. 2003. Modeling manure-borne pathogen transport with runoff and infiltration. [Abstract]. ASAE Annual International Meeting. p. 174. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Two kinematic wave models for surface runoff and subsurface flow were coupled with the Green-Ampt infiltration model to simulate surface and subsurface transport of manure-borne FC. Finite difference and method of characteristic were used to solve transport equations of overland and subsurface flow, respectively. Green & Ampt, Philip, and Schmid (modified Green & Ampt) infiltration models were also applied to vertical water flow movement. Because of more reasonable predictions, Green & Ampt was selected to couple a one-dimensional kinematic wave model for simulation of FC concentrations. Model simulations were compared to the experimental data collected from lysimeter-scale (6.7m X 7.3 m) site. Only low concentrations of fecal coliforms were available for surface transport when the runoff was initiated. The model simulated the spatial and temporal distribution of FC in runoff assuming an exponential release fo FC from manure. Simulations of subsurface concentrations showed a delay indicating possible need for two-dimensional description of subsurface flow.

Most rural Americans would vote for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over US President Barack Obama, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency claimed Friday, citing what it said were the results of a Gallup poll.
According to the Fars report, 77 percent of rural Caucasian American voters would rather spend time with Ahmadinejad than Obama, and would vote for the former in an election.
However, the Fars news agency gleaned its information from a real farce news agency: The Onion.
The Onion, a satirical, fake news outlet that describes itself as "America's finest news source," published the comedic and factually incorrect poll result on Monday.
According to The Onion's report (paywall), a Gallup poll found that 60 percent of Americans "at least respected that Ahmadinejad doesn't try to hide the fact that he's Muslim."
One fictional respondent told the paper that "he would much rather go to a baseball game or have a beer with Ahmadinejad, a man who has repeatedly denied the Holocaust and has had numerous political prisoners executed, than spend time with Obama."
The Fars news report copied the entire report verbatim, but omitted the remark about Holocaust denial and execution of political prisoners, and neglected to mention that the poll and Onion report were a comedic fabrication.
Fars has recently been criticized for publishing reports of questionable authenticity. In June it published "an interview" with Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi in which he claimed to seek a strategic alliance with Iran. Morsi's office said later he had given no interview.
