Flores busts out at dish in second Major League game
Mets third baseman logs first career hit, then breaks game open with three-run double
NEW YORK -- Wilmer Flores clapped his hands as he rumbled into second base. It was a three-run double -- his first extra-base hit in the big leagues and his first RBIs -- but most importantly, on just his second day in the Majors, he had provided a potentially decisive hit for his team.
"You want to help the team," Flores said. "I helped the team today, so just keep doing it."
The eighth-inning double gave the Mets their ultimate run total in a 5-0 win over the Rockies on Wednesday night at Citi Field. A day after going 0-for-4 in his debut -- and on his birthday -- the rookie went 2-for-4 with the double and three RBIs. New York has made the third baseman its No. 6 hitter in each of his first two days in the Majors because of his apparent offensive gifts.
"We talked about his offensive ceiling, and I thought tonight he showed some much better discipline at the plate than he did last night," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Obviously, his first game in the big leagues you can understand the jitters."
Apparently, it only took until Day 2 for those jitters to subside. A day after his first Major League game, first Major League error and first Major League oh-fer, Flores looked completely comfortable all over the field.
In the first inning, a line drive to center gave him his first Major League hit. Omar Quintanilla's single two batters later drove Flores home for the rookie's first Major League run.
"That's what I was looking for last night," Flores said of his hit. "I think I was a little bit more relaxed and just tried to calm down a little bit, and it worked."
Six innings later, his double down the left-field line gave him his first Major League extra-base hit.
He admitted to perhaps being overanxious in his big league debut, chasing pitches out of the zone. On Day 2, hitting coach Dave Hudgens outlined a plan for him.
Facing Manny Corpas in the eighth inning, Flores needed to force him to pitch up in the zone. But Flores was familiar with the relief pitcher.
The two met each other in Triple-A a couple of months ago. That time, Corpas got Flores out by relying on his signature pitch: the slider. At Citi Field, Flores knew it was coming and ripped one into left field.
"He got a ball up and he hit it hard," Collins said. "But Wilmer Flores can hit. That's why we've got to find a spot for him to play."
"I kind of knew what he had, so he tried to do the same thing he did to me in Triple-A," Flores added. "I was just trying to look for a good pitch, because last night I was swinging at a lot of balls out of the strike zone, so I tried to calm down a little bit, and it worked."
In the field, Flores was flawless. Defensive struggles have been the knock against the third baseman -- ranked by MLB.com as the Mets' No. 4 prospect -- and that became immediately evident when he committed an error in his debut.
But a day later the jitters were gone. A strong day in the field complemented an even better day at the plate. He's still a work in progress, but on Wednesday he was just what New York hoped it was getting.
"I feel great," Flores said. "I couldn't be happier."

text: KYIV, April 30 (UKRINFORM). Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has signed a decree dismissing Ukrainian Navy Commander, Admiral Ihor Teniukh. The decree was posted on the president's official website on Friday, April 30. Teniukh was against the Russian Black Sea Fleet's presence in Crimea. The presidential decree says that the admiral was dismissed on health grounds with the right to wear military uniform. In March 2010, Teniukh submitted a letter of resignation from the Ukrainian Armed Forces for moral and ethical reasons. As UKRINFORM reported, during the Russian-Georgian conflict in 2008, the commander of the Ukrainian Navy ordered Ukrainian warships to try to block the entrance to the Sevastopol bay for Black Sea Fleet ships that were involved in the conflict in Georgia. Vice-Admiral Viktor Maksymov was appointed the new commander of the Ukrainian Navy. This morning, Defense Minister Mykhailo Yezhel presented the new commander to the executive staff of the national fleet. "Over the six years of Vice-Admiral Viktor Maksymov's holding the post of first deputy commander of the navy, all military sailors could be sure that he was exacting, professional and honest," the Defense Ministry's press service quoted Yezhel as saying.

Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni is full of praise for promising youngster Mateo Kovacic and has little doubt that the midfielder has a bright future ahead of him.
The 18-year-old joined the Nerazzurri from Dinamo Zagreb in the winter transfer window, and Stramaccioni is more than pleased with what the Croatia Under-21 star has shown so far.
"I have great belief in the lad, I really wanted him here and his talent is there for all to see," Stramaccioni said at a press conference.
"Mateo does need to be managed carefully, however. He's 18 years old and he had cramp at one point of the game [against Tottenham] on Thursday.
"He played something like 70 or 75 balls and only got five or six wrong – that's incredible. He's a player to be managed carefully for the moment and a certain star for the future."
Kovacic has made seven official appearances for Inter so far, but has yet to find the net for the first time.

iPad Sold Out at Many Apple Stores
Did Apple underestimate the iPad's early popularity? It certainly seems that way. Amid reports that the device is now outselling the Mac, comes news that iPad supplies are increasingly constrained as Apple (AAPL) prepares for its international launch.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster checked in with 50 U.S. Apple retail stores and found the iPad sold out or in limited supply at many of them.
"74 percent of the stores we checked were completely sold out of all iPad models. 26 percent had some WiFi models in stock, and no stores had any 3G models available," the analyst reports.
"We note that the stores have implemented a reservation system, by which customers can request to be placed on a waitlist for future iPad shipments, notified upon arrival, and given 24 hours to pick up the iPad," Munster adds. "One Apple store representative indicated that the in-store reservation system typically takes 4-7 days."
Given that, the fact that iPad orders made at Apple's online store are now listed as shipping in "7-10 business days," up from a previous range of "5-7 business days," and the international iPad launch next week, Munster figures supply constraints will easily last through the June quarter, reaching equilibrium in late fall.
"[The iPad launch] far exceeded our expectations. We were shocked by U.S. demand," Apple COO Tim Cook said during Apple's last earnings call.
Evidently that continues to be the case.

As most of you figured out this white creature is a white sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps).
It is a leucistic individual. Unlike albinos, leucistic animals still produce some pigment.
This white coloration would never serve it well in the wild. Something that white would attract virtually any owl that happened to pass through the area.
However, this white coloration does increase their value on the pet market. This is a captive individual.
Sugar gliders are the most commonly available marsupial on the pet market, even if they do make a lot of noise at night (including some pretty loud buzzer shrieks) and can give a pretty nasty bite.

Madonna attacks again: "I have the best fans. So take that, Lady Gaga!!!"
During her latest concert in St. Paul, Madonna decided to restart her ongoing attack on all things Lady Gaga. It seems Madonna was offended because Lady Gaga rejected her invitation to perform together.
"I have the best fans in the whole world. So take THAT, Lady Gaga! You know, I invited her on stage to sing with me. But, she turned me down. It's okay. I've been rejected before, it builds a little character."

Exploring Causes of the Civil War – Part IV – The Antebellum North
Continuing the series on the causes of the Civil War, this post looks at the Antebellum North.
The North evolved from its Puritan roots into a culture driven by a strong work ethic. A man was valued by what he could earn and accomplish. The capital of the north was invested in the engines of modernization. Labor moved from agriculture and artisan to factory as modern farming tools improved productivity. Individuals became more dependent on wages. Material wealth was seen as evidence of good, productive, hard work.
As the country expanded, northeastern populations migrated almost directly west. Foreign immigration increased. With modernization came an extensive transportation system including both impressive roadways and railroads.
New levels of wealth were attained by the leaders of the industrial revolution. A new poor working class emerged but so did a middle class that no longer had to produce large families to work the land. Urban centers developed particularly in the northeast.
Modernization drove social reform including the creation of public education systems in the North and associated high literacy rates. Enlightenment crusades flourished, touching literature and religion. Suffrage and temperance movements formed. Abolitionism became tied with humanitarian reforms driven by Christian crusades.
The North became more and more distinct from the South on many levels, not the least of which was its distaste for slavery. Even so, like white populations in most of western society, northerners considered blacks to be inferior in the antebellum North.

After making it until Wednesday without a loss this season, top-ranked Syracuse has now been beaten twice in a row after a wild ending at Duke tonight assisted by the referees and an out-of-control, berserk Jim Boeheim.
With the Orange down 60-58, C.J. Fair drove to the rim and put up what would have been the tying score with ten seconds remaining—but officials called the Syracuse star for an offensive foul, sending Boeheim apoplectic. The legendary head coach earned two quick technical fouls, an ejection, and the assurance his team would never recover from all the free throws he handed the Blue Devils. (Since it was an offensive foul, Syracuse could have stolen Duke's inbound pass or otherwise gained control of the ball and tied the game or even hit a buzzer-beating three for the win.) Duke ended up taking a 66-60 victory.
The call on Fair wasn't, uh, fair, but Boeheim fully deserved being t'd up. Running into the middle of the court, waving your arms wildly, and screaming "BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!" in a referee's face will earn you the bench foul every time. [ESPN]

It's down to the Final Four on American Idol, with only girls left in the competition. In fact, last week's results show saw the first female finalist go home after five-straight boys were sent packing, including our Latino hopefuls Devin Velez and Lazaro Arbos.
Inspired by this historic feat and the guarantee of a female victor this season on Fox's reality singing competition, we're recalling the standout Latina contestants of all time. Here's a look at the six best Latina contestants in Idol history.
1. American Idol Latinas: Vanessa Olivarez
Vanessa Olivarez, Season 2
She may not have finished in the Top 10 in the second season of American Idol, but Vanessa Olivarez did make history as the first Latina finalist on Fox's reality singing competition. Following her appearance on the show, Olivarez went on to become a successful artist in Canada. Along with releasing the single "The One," which made it to the Top 10 on the Canadian charts, the now 32-year-old Latina singer also played the lead role in the Canadian version of the hit Broadway musical Hairspray.
Standout Performance: Irene Cara's "Out Here On My Own"
2. American Idol Latinas: Karen Rodriguez
Karen Rodriguez, Season 10
From the get-go, Karen Rodriguez impressed the American Idol judges, including Jennifer Lopez, with her emotive voice. Rodriguez, who was one of the first contestants to get an invitation to tryout in front of the judging panel after performing on Myspace, went on to earn kudos for her Hollywood round performances, including J.Lo's "If You Had My Love." Sadly, the now-24-year-old singer's Idol run would end after performing Taylor Dayne's "Love Will Lead You Back" in the Top 12. Here's hoping that one day our love for K.Ro. will lead her back to us!
Standout Performance: Selena's "No me queda más."
3. American Idol Latinas: Syesha Mercado
Syesha Mercado, Season 7
It looked like it would be Lucky No. 7 for Syesha Mercado, who competed on Idol's seventh season. The now-26-year-old Afro-Puerto Rican singer was even the last woman singing on the Fox reality competition. But Mercado's journey would come to a close at the hands of not one, but two Davids… David Archuleta and David Cook. Even though she didn't realize her Idol dream, she did become a Dreamgirl. In 2009, Mercado was named the lead in the national tour of the hit musical Dreamgirls.
Standout Performance: Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You"
4. American Idol Latinas: Allison Iraheta
Allison Iraheta, Season 8
During her run on the eighth season of American Idol, Allison Iraheta was dubbed the "one to watch" by Simon Cowell and the "dark horse" by Paula Abdul. And, for most of the season, it looked like the teenage Salvadoran-American singer with the rasp-tastic voice and rockin' musicality was the one to beat. Iraheta even managed to breathe new life into Fergie's iconic hit "Big Girls Don't Cry." But she'd have to settle for fourth place, even though she gave an acclaimed performance of Janis Joplin's "Cry Baby" in the Top 4 round. Still, Iraheta would have little reason to cry… She landed her own record deal, released the catchy single "Friday I'll Be Over U" and toured with Idol also-ran Adam Lambert.
Standout Performance: Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me"
5. American Idol Latinas: Jessica Sanchez
Jessica Sanchez, Season 11
Talk about having confidence beyond her years… During her Idol run in Season 11, Jessica Sanchez showed absolutely no fear, despite being only 16. The Mexican American singer tackled the music of some of the biggest divas in history, including Madonna, Whitney Houston (Twice!), Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Jennifer Holiday. And the pint-sized singer with the to-the-rafters voice earned raves time and time again, earning a spot in the Idol finale last season. Unfortunately, Sanchez couldn't break the notorious white-guy-with-a-guitar reign on Idol last season. But she's not letting that second-place finish bother her one bit. She's preparing to release her debut album next week and she'll be guest-starring on Glee next month!
Standout Performance: Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams"
6. American Idol Latinas: Fantasia Barrino
Fantasia Barrino, Season 3
Now that's how you bounce back! During her Idol run, Fantasia Barrino was at risk of being booted from the show twice after all the public votes were counted, making the Afro-Cuban singer the only female winner to ever land in the bottom group more than once. The key word is "winner." That's because after each misstep, Fantasia roared back to the "safe zone" with impressive performances. Since her Idol victory, Fantasia has won a Grammy Award, starred on Broadway in The Color Purple and sold nearly three million albums worldwide.
Standout Performance: George Gershwin's "Summertime"

For some of us, it might've been a gradual slide into geekdom, for others, it was like the switching on of a light. Here's when I knew for certain there was no going back.
The first inkling came for me when I was about 12. I'd been a fair-weather comic book reader for a while — supermarkets used to sell DC comics in plastic-wrapped three-packs that my mother would buy and I'd read and release 'em back into the wild — but I was never a collector, really. Not until Marvel's Secret Wars came out.
I became a Secret Wars nut: I cleaned off my dresser — and given that I was a par-for-the-course pre-teen slob, that was no easy feat — and displayed my comics on the surface, like tiled wallpaper on a computer desktop. As each new issue of Jim Shooter's magnum opus came out, it found a hallowed place on the dresser. Luckily, I discovered long-boxes before I discovered girls.
But that wasn't the moment that cemented it for me. Nor was it the weekly D&D sessions, or the single-quarter-playthroughs of Contra at the local mom-and-pop video store.
No, it was in 1989, when I skipped my high-school senior prom to go see the midnight opening of Batman.
See, my girlfriend at the time — who knew that there were five or six long white boxes in my closet, but never once motioned to open them — had come down with the chicken pox. After I rented the tux and paid to share the limo and bought the flowers. So, I did what any guy who'd dropped six-months-worth of mowing lawns and bussing tables on one night would do: I got dressed up, hopped in the limo, went to the prom, took my solo picture, immediately dipped outside into my friend's waiting car, and drove to the Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas.
(Which should speak to my commitment to the Dark Knight. If you're not from the New York metro area, you won't know this, but the Green Acres Shopping Mall in Valley Stream, Long Island is home to the gun-fightingest theater outside of Kabul. Seriously. When I drive past it now, on my way to visit my folks, I don't slow down.)
And still, I went. We got there at 9:15 and joined a growing mass of like-minded nerds. Some of us skipped out on proms, others escaped from bedrooms, while others still were dodging house arrest. But we waited the three hours until showtime as unified as the Mongol hordes. Given that I didn't hit a comic book convention proper until decades later, this was the first time I'd felt the kinship of a geek crowd. Sure, the public at large would see Batman over the course of that opening weekend, or the balance of the summer...but we few, we happy few, we came because we wanted to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.
I'd found my band of brothers and never looked back.

It's really en vogue to bring our your own brand of coffee nowadays, especially if you're a well-renowned indie musician or band. We've had Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's own in the last couple of weeks, as well as something from David Lynch. Is it all getting a bit tiring for you? Well, if it is then you may soon be able to dose-up on caffeine with a cup/mug/drinking receptacle of LCD Soundsystem's coffee (via The Guardian and NME.com).
That said, it's more of a promise at this embryonic stage as nothing has actually happened yet. It's all talk, but is Murphy a man who keeps his word? According to Grubstreet.com he just wants to "go to a roaster" who lives close by and "start tweaking beans and temperatures". He is, however, in talks about it all. Another fact: he was also bought a training course with the world champion for his birthday. Of Coffee. The world champion of coffee!
Anyway, now the bad news. It appears it will only be available in a single shop. That said, it will probably retail elsewhere for much higher prices, I guess. Can you tout coffee? Will Murphy try and come up with a way of combating this, like happened with the final LCD shows in New York? Perhaps release it in more shops?

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 4G LTE
All the power of the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD, but with 4G LTE to back it up. Amazon's 4G LTE offering comes in as the top dog with a price of $499. Other specs are identical to its data-less brother, including an OMAP 4470 processor, an 8.9 1920x1200 display and improved WiFi.
It will also come as great news that this tablet's data plan will only cost $50 per year, which is impressive for a 4G LTE device. You will be limited to 250 MB per month, but for the prize, that is still much more affordable compared to the competition. Not to mention you would also get 20 GB of cloud storage and $10 to spend in the App Store.

IMF Survey: Portugal to Stay Challenging Reform Course
October 25, 2012
- Good progress in reducing macroeconomic imbalances under IMF-supported program
- Country will have more time to implement fiscal adjustment
- Maintaining support for reforms will be crucial as program enters more challenging phase
Portugal continues its difficult adjustment process, with economic recession set to extend into 2013.
The government has made excellent progress in implementing the reforms agreed under the program supported by Portugal's European partners and the IMF. It will now have more time to implement fiscal adjustment and continue reforming its economy, as the global economic slowdown and continued uncertainty in the eurozone makes it more difficult to rely on exports and the private sector to generate jobs and growth.
In an interview, the IMF's mission chief for Portugal, Abebe Aemro Selassie, discusses the prospects for economic recovery.
IMF Survey: You have just wrapped up the fifth review under the IMF-supported program. How do you assess the discussions during this review? What is the outlook for Portugal?
Selassie: The discussions during the fifth review revolved around how to strike the right balance between advancing the required fiscal adjustment and avoiding undue strains on the economy. Fiscal adjustment in Portugal is required to contain the high levels of debt and financing is limited. And, to the extent possible, this adjustment needs to pay heed to the evolution of output and employment. This is why we focused on trying to strike the right balance. And it was in this context and at the request of the government that the fiscal deficit targets for 2013 were revised from 3 percent to 4.5 percent of GDP, to be careful about the impact on growth of further adjustment. This decision was also partly informed by the work that IMF colleagues have been doing.
A range of revenue and spending measures were accordingly discussed with the government meet the 4.5 percent deficit target for 2013. Subsequently of course one of those measures—a partial shift in the burden of social security contributions from employers to employees—faced a lot of resistance, and the government replaced it with an increase in personal income taxes instead. The new measures have now been factored in our assessment of the current review.
The Portuguese government and people have made great strides in reducing economic imbalances. It has entailed a lot of sacrifice and more is still to come in the context of the 2013 budget. Good progress has been made so far, with two-thirds of the fiscal consolidation envisioned under the program to be reached by the end of this year.
The key now is how to advance the reform agenda and continue with fiscal consolidation. It is important for the country to complete the adjustment program, so that Portugal can return to growth.
IMF Survey: The 2013 budget includes more austerity measures, including tax increases. Why is that necessary?
Selassie: Even in good times, fiscal adjustment is difficult. In a country like Portugal, where unemployment is high and the economy is in recession, it becomes even more challenging. But there are few alternatives, unfortunately. Portugal has a very high level of debt and available financing is limited.
Ultimately, the aim is to return the economy to a sustainable growth path―one that leads to a vibrant economy that creates jobs, and where the country is able to meet its own financing needs. The only way to make this happen is to address the current imbalances, and this is why further fiscal adjustment is inevitable.
And yes, adjustment has entailed a lot of tax increases and spending cuts. In an ideal scenario, you would probably want to see somewhat more reliance on spending cuts, but the decision on the composition of the package lies ultimately with the government, and it is understandable that in a recession the government does not want to cut things like social benefits. Instead, it wants to rely more on tax increases and do it in a progressive way, so that people with higher incomes will be contributing more than people with lower incomes.
The government is conducting a comprehensive public expenditure review, exactly to find and identify areas where savings could be made in a productive manner. There is always hope to identify and possibly reduce unproductive spending, but a lot of the low-hanging fruits were already identified and started to be addressed in the 2011 and 2012 budgets. We look forward to the expenditure review to put on the table areas where savings can be made.
IMF Survey: Your outlook for Portugal now implies a stronger negative effect of the austerity measures on growth— what economists call "fiscal multiplier," and you mentioned new IMF research published in the October World Economic Outlook. Can you elaborate?
Selassie: The main insight from the October World Economic Outlook study is that fiscal multipliers prevailing at this moment are higher than have generally been assumed. Recent economic outcomes in Portugal also point to a higher multiplier being at work. This evidence is partly what informed our support to the revision of the deficit targets in 2013.
But it is very important to stress that one cannot infer from the analysis in the WEO the appropriate size of the multiplier for an individual country. It varies across time even within countries. And of course, it is not just fiscal policy but other factors also have a bearing on growth. But the overall message from the study—that fiscal multipliers in the current environment are higher than the 0.5 assumed—is one that we share, and as I said informed our thinking and influenced the revised fiscal deficit path in Portugal. The downward revision to growth in 2013 is also related to this. Effectively, a higher multiplier is now being utilized.
One other point I should make is that the quarterly reviews under the program are there exactly to ensure that the program continues to strike the right balance between advancing the required adjustment and avoiding undue strains on output and employment. We have always said that if growth outturns prove to be weaker than projected, automatic stabilizers should be allowed to operate. This is all related to ensuring that the fiscal adjustment effort is one that pays attention to growth considerations as much as possible, within the constraints related to debt and financing that are there.
IMF Survey: Portugal needs deep structural reform to restore competiveness and jumpstart the economy. What reforms are being implemented, and how are they making a difference?
Selassie: Reforms are indeed key to improving the business environment in Portugal, and a lot has already been done under the program to restore competitiveness.
In particular, huge efforts have been made to improve the judicial system and the insolvency framework, increase the efficiency in sectors like telecommunication, gas, electricity, and transportation. A landmark port work reform is near completion, with substantial positive effects on labor costs and efficiency.
Also, on the fiscal front, it is not all about adjustment―fiscal reforms to modernize tax administration and upgrade public financial management will help put public finances on a sound footing.
The IMF has provided technical assistance to support the judicial reform process as well as in both of these fiscal reform areas. These are all things that will in the long run provide much-needed support to growth in Portugal. In the near term, their payoff is going to be limited, but over the medium term, I have no doubt that these will help boost potential growth.
IMF Survey: Are the policies implemented at the European level to solve the crisis having a positive impact on Portugal?
Selassie: To some extent they are. External conditions have not been as favorable as we had envisioned at the time the program was put in place. Portugal faces internal difficulties―lack of competiveness that predates the crisis and a slowdown coming from fiscal adjustment and the deleveraging process. But it has also been hit by headwinds from Europe and the stresses in the euro area.
In recent weeks, as European-wide crisis resolution measures have been put on the table, especially by the European Central Bank, we have seen some positive impact on Portugal's borrowing costs. The government recently was able to extend the maturities of bonds that were set to mature next year—its first foray into the bond market for a while, albeit on a limited scale.
These are all steps in the right direction.

Hello? It's a COP DRAMA!!! What could be better that Mark in a uniform??? You girls that don't like it need to spend a day at the park by the police station!!
Seriously, it's one of those buddy cop dramas...if you don't like movies like that, you won't like this either.
It's a bit complex, too. I don't think I caught everything the first time through. If you're looking for fluff, you won't find it here. Now that I get everything that's going on, it's easily one of my favorites. I love this movie...but I'm a sucker for men in uniform.

I think it's a brilliant film and Mark is superb in it! First time I saw the scene when his partner visits him in his flat, Mark looks so uncomfortable I thought what's going on, did Mark have an 'off day'? Then as the film develops and it all becomes clear I was stunned at how well that scene was acted.
Oh, and seeing his bare chest was wonderful too!!

A lone police cruiser outside Columbine High School was the only outward reaction Friday to an even deadlier attack at a Connecticut elementary school.
A lone police cruiser outside Columbine High School was the only outward reaction Friday to an even deadlier attack at a Connecticut elementary school.
But in a state that was rocked by the 1999 Columbine school massacre and the Aurora movie theater shooting less than six months ago, Friday's shootings renewed debate over why mass shootings keep occurring and whether gun control can stop them.
"Until we get our acts together and stop making these ... weapons available, this is going to keep happening," said an angry Tom Teves, whose son Alex was killed in the theater shooting last July in the Denver suburb of Aurora.
Teves was choked up as he answered a reporter's call Friday. A work associate of his lives in Newtown, Conn., where 27 people were killed, including 18 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary. The connection chilled and angered him.
The Connecticut gunman was reported to have used a .223-caliber rifle, although it wasn't immediately clear what type. Weapons that use the .223 caliber ammunition can range from assault-style rifles similar to the AR-15 semi-automatic used by James Holmes in Aurora in the July 20 shooting that killed 12 people and wounded 70 to hunting rifles.
The gunman in the recent Oregon shopping mall shooting also used an AR-15, and the Washington, D.C.-area snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo used a .223-caliber Bushmaster, both largely civilian versions of the military's M-16.
Versions of the AR-15 once were outlawed under a U.S. assault weapon ban in 1994. That prohibition expired in 2004 and Congress, in a nod to the political clout of gun enthusiasts, did not renew it.
This week, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper generated a storm of debate after declaring that it was time to start debating gun control measures. Hickenlooper specifically mentioned the AR-15.
"When you look at what happened in Aurora, a great deal of that damage was from the large magazine on the AR-15. I think we need to have that discussion and say, 'Where is this appropriate?'" Hickenlooper said Wednesday.
After Friday's school shootings, Hickenlooper told reporters there's no use waiting until news coverage fades.
"We can't postpone the discussion on a national level every time there's a shooting. They're too often," he said.
A visibly emotional President Obama seemed willing to renew debate, calling for "meaningful action" to prevent similar shootings.
Also Friday, Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head during an attack that killed six people in Tucson, Ariz., last year, said the Connecticut shooting should "sound a call for our leaders to stand up and do what is right."
"This time our response must consist of more than regret, sorrow, and condolence," Kelly said on his Facebook page, calling for "a meaningful discussion about our gun laws and how they can be reformed and better enforced to prevent gun violence and death in America."
Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex also died in the Aurora theater shooting, welcomed the discussion.
"Clips that hold 50 bullets? The only animal you're after with that is man. There is no other reason. That's what that is used for. My question to those people is, 'Why do you need a clip that holds 50 bullets?'" Sullivan said in a phone interview.
But Sullivan said mental health, not gun control, is a more pressing concern.
"We all need someone in our lives to care," Sullivan said. "If we see a friend, a colleague, a co-worker and they're having a hard time, we need to reach out."
Some shoppers interviewed at Oregon's Clackamas Town Center, scene of the Tuesday mall killings, had similar reactions.
"We need to pay more attention to the people close to us, because I think there's a lot of signs prior to things," said shopper Sierra Delgado of Happy Valley, Ore.
Mental health screenings alone aren't enough, other Colorado shooting survivors said.
Tom Mauser, who became a gun-control advocate after his son Daniel was killed at Columbine, urged officials to stop "playing defense" on gun control.
"Let's not say once again, 'Oh, this is not the right time to talk about it.' It is the right time to talk about it.
"We are better than a nation that has people killing children and has people cowardly shooting people in shopping malls and schools and nursing homes. We're better than this."
Such emotional appeals didn't come only from gun control supporters. Friday's responses from both sides foretold a heart-wrenching debate.
"They're going to use the bodies of dead children to push their agenda," predicted Dudley Brown of the Denver group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners.
Associated Press writers Brian Skoloff in Phoenix; Terrence Petty in Portland, Ore.; and P. Solomon Banda, Dan Elliott, Ivan Moreno and Kristen Wyatt in Denver contributed to this report.

Cash plus peer pressure is a boon to weight loss (study)
This story originally appeared on EverydayHealth.com.
If you want to slim down before swimsuit season, joining the office wellness program can motivate you to lose weight -- as long as you're competing as part of a group, researchers from the University of Michigan Health System report in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
When weight-loss awards were based on group performance rather than individual, participants lost nearly three times the amount of weight, researchers said.
The study examined two employee wellness incentive strategies among obese participants at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. In the first group, individuals were offered $100 for each month they met or exceeded weight loss goals. In the second group, individuals were sorted into groups of five in which $500 was split among the participants who met their goals, meaning some could earn more than $100 if other members of the group didn't meet their goals.
After six months, the group approach was far more successful.
Losing Weight With a Group
Now, as corporate weight loss challenges become more popular, researchers want to identify which kind of group competition is the best at encouraging weight loss.
"Approaches such as 'The Biggest Loser' have received popular attention as ways to harness group dynamics to encourage weight loss, but the winner-take-all nature could be discouraging for everyone but the most successful person," said lead author Jeffrey T. Kullgren, MD, in a release. "We need more data to compare how different group-based approaches stack up against each other."
Everyday Health reader Alana He said on Facebook that the group approach works for her. "Over the last month, my friends and I have been doing a 30 day challenge -- 30 minutes [of exercise] every day for 30 days," she said. "If we miss a day, we owe a dollar. This motivation really worked for me! Only missed two days, and feeling great!"
Other readers said they love exercising with friends to stay accountable. But most report that neither cash nor peer pressure is what really makes them hit the gym and eat right -- it's the intrinsic benefits of weight loss, including self-esteem, confidence, and mental health.
"What motivates me now after losing 50+ pounds is just how much better I feel," said GJ Dubar. "It's hard, but it's worth it." Said Pandora Williams: "Motivation and inspiration for me comes from the positive examples I see around me, from hearing others' success stories, from seeing the changes in my body, and from other people cheering me on."
If a group weight-loss challenge is what you need to stick to your goals, good news: Starting in 2014, the Affordable Care Act expands employers' ability to reward employees who meet health status goals through corporate wellness programs. Rewards may include premium discounts or rebates, lower cost-sharing requirements, or extra benefits related to employer-sponsored health coverage.

If you want to survive in the game of sports betting, Soccer Betting Advice in Best then you have to use effective money management. I recommend that you follow these guidelines at all times.
- Only invest what you can realistically afford to lose. Football Soccer Prediction Today you have to remember that you really do not need to start with al a lot of money. I got started with only $100 dollars and I followed the system and my money has doubled over and over again over the course of years.
- Do not make your initial bet too high. Only invest 5% of your total bankroll for a flat betting system (in which you bet the same amount each time) and no more than 2% for a progressive system. You need to be patient here and allow your systems to do their slow and steady work.
- Increase your initial bets when your bankroll has increased by 25%. This will increase your earning power, Soccer Betting Advice just remember to stick to the suggested percentages in #2.
- Remember to Diversify your portfolio. If you have a total bankroll of $1000 and 4 systems that you would like to use, then each system should be allotted $250 and you have to keep those amounts separate.
You have to be disciplined in your use of your systems and in your money management strategy. It can be difficult especially you are doing exceptionally well or if you are losing badly. You may be tempted to deviate from the systems or the money management guidelines in either of those situations. But do not, Today Prediction just remain diligent and the rewards are sure to follow.
Soccer Betting Advice in Best?
This is the third instalment in a series of articles on profitable betting through sensible money management. So far, I have discussed the importance of getting value when you bet, to maximise the returns you achieve when your selections win. In the most recent article you should have learned to keep your stakes in proportion to the size of your betting bank.
Today I want to examine a common mistake that often gets punters into serious trouble – chasing your losses.
I don't think there can be many of us who have not at some time, decided to get back what we just lost by betting a little bigger on the next race. It is sometimes known as progressive staking.
Let's take a simple scenario: you bet £10 on Red Rum, and he loses. What do you do? Perhaps you continue with your selection methods and come up with another pick in the next race – Best Mate. The price is 6/4F
But, rather than putting another £10 bet on Best Mate, you decide to 'chase' your loss from the last race. You add another £7 to your stake so that when Best Mate wins you will pick up an extra £10.50 to recover the bet you lost on Red Rum. Good plan? Could be, after all Best Mate is a sure fire winner, right? May be. May be not!
What happens if Best Mate loses? You are now £27 'in the hole'. But you still have a plan. Your next selection is a dead cert winner at Even money. You place your usual £10 stake plus an extra £27 to cover your losses so far. No need to worry. When this one comes in, you will have re-couped your losses and have a £10 profit to show as well.
Let's take a step back here. You are staking £37 to win a £10 profit. Think about it – you are effectively getting odds of only around 1 to 4 odds-on about a horse that is Even money in the market. That is terrible value!
You may escape this time and your horse may well win. But what if, heaven forbid, your red-hot even money favourite fails to win? After just three bets, you are down to the tune of £64 when your normal stake is just a tenner!
Long losing runs do occur, more frequently than you might think, and even with short-priced selections.
If you spent a day in a casino at the roulette tables, and analysed how many times you witnessed a run of 7 or 8 consecutive 'red' numbers, I would not be at all surprised if you saw this happen four or five times – in a single day. Here we have pretty much a 50/50 bet, even money, that the roulette ball will land in either a red or a black slot. Yet I was amazed to learn that the longest run of the same colour (reported) was THIRTY-NINE consecutive reds!!
Imagine if you were betting on black, and saying to yourself each time "no worries, it's got to be black next time…. Surely?"
But let's go back to the more common occurrence of a losing run of 7 even money bets. We will be betting on the red.
We place a £1 bet on the first spin. It's black. We chase our loss by 'doubling up' and next bet £2. If we were to carry on in this manner, after 6 spins we would be betting £64 to win our original £1
I sincerely hope my point is getting across. By chasing your losses you can very quickly see your stakes climbing to preposterous levels, to win your original, relatively small stake. The risk is way out of proportion compared to the potential reward.
One last example to really ram the point home. The Racing Post runs a tipster competition. All the leading racing journalists are involved, representing the nation's newspapers and horse racing publications. These are experts at tipping horses. Take a look at the results table any day, and see for yourself the longest losing run. Remember, these are the experts.
I looked today, and Racing Post PostData has suffered this season a losing run of twenty-seven. Twenty-seven consecutive losers from an expert tipster! And believe me, he is not on his own, just the worst offender this season so far.
There is an old saying – "Don't throw good money after bad". If your selections don't make a profit from simple level stakes betting, don't try and make them profitable by throwing more money at them. You may survive with a profit for a while, but this approach is a disaster waiting to happen. Sooner or later you WILL blow your entire bank chasing a disproportionately small profit.
If your selections don't make a profit from simple level stakes betting, change your system.

What is it about Stanley Tucci's name that makes me want to pinch a baby's cheeks? Not like in a creepy way, just like in an adorable way. This has gotten kind of weird. He's joined the cast of "Your Voice in My Head" and will play a psychiatrist who helps a self abusing woman, played by Emma Watson, heal her mental scars. Tucci Tucci Tucci! Come on, it's adorable.
I've seen the 1995 movie "Embrace of the Vampire" no less than a dozen times and I could not tell you what the hell it's about. All I remember is Alyssa Milano was nude for 90% of the film and had sex with just about everyone that was on screen. CineTel Films, who I've never heard of but are now my favorite studio, have decided it's time for a remake of the soft core classic. I wonder if Milano will have a cameo. God I hope so.
Chloe Moretz is kind of awesome. She was brutal in "Kick Ass", she was creepy as hell in "Let Me In" and she's pretty damn funny on "30 Rock". So now I'm excited about the "Carrie" remake because she's officially been offered the lead role. If there's anyone that can pull off a pig-blood prom dress it's her. I just hope it isn't after labor day. That's a fashion no-no.
If you didn't like "The Woman In Black" then I kind of want to punch you in the face. It scared the crap out of me. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm not going to punch you in the face if you don't buy the DVD when it's released in May though. I understand times are though and you can't drop money on every movie I like. Where the hell would you even keep the entire "Police Academy" series? There's like 9 films. That's so much shelf space.

Cable subscribers should soon be able to stream cable TV programming over their home networks, as CableLabs has announced its approval of a new streaming protocol. Called DTCP-IP (Digital Transmission Copy Protection), the new spec will use DRM to lock down content to ensure that it doesn't escape the cozy confines of cable subscribers' homes.
The announcement of DTCP-IP comes after months of wrangling between CableLabs, the Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator, and a handful of movie studios including Disney, Warner Bros., Sony, and Paramount.
Here's what consumers will get: they will be able to move content across their home networks for viewing on devices that aren't attached to a set-top box. That will include PCs as well as portable devices, and high-definition and video-on-demand programming will be covered by DTCP-IP.
"The agreement we reached today addresses the highly complex concerns raised by the affected parties—cable, content, and consumer electronics—and brings benefits to consumers," said Dr. Richard R. Green, CEO of CableLabs, in a statement. "Working together, we agreed on solutions that meet our respective business needs and serve the interests of consumers and content providers."
Ah, yes, content providers. Their highly complex concerns include making sure that some content will be unable to be copied, apparently. DTCP-IP will respect programming flags such as "copy never," and in order to enforce that restriction, DTCP-IP will use the "same level of protection, functionality, and treatment of content" that exists in the AACS DRM technology. That means that the movie studios will be able to revoke a device's keys in much the same way that they can for HD DVD and Blu-ray players.
Despite the restrictions, DTCP-IP is a significant step forward for CableLabs and the cable industry. Previously, the industry has insisted on—and achieved—complete control over the officially approved hardware ecosystem. As a result, PC support for CableCARD is limited to OEMs, which is why you can't buy an ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner at your local big box retailer and slap it in your PC. DTCP-IP should change that, albeit with restrictions.

From Michael Vick to Jim Brown there is a parade of "Bad Boys" from the NFL, other sports and Hollywood. We are not saints; just people. Now Plaxico Burress gets 15 minutes of fame not for a Super bowl touchdown but for shooting hemself in the foot, er, leg….
Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick(R) leaves Surry County Circuit Court after entering a guilty plea on two felony counts connected to dog fighting in Sussex, Virginia. Under a plea agreement, Vick, who is currently serving a term in prison for federal dog fighting charges, will serve one-year of probation for the state charges.(AFP/Getty Images/File/Geoff Burke)
The weekend self-injury of New York Giants star badboy Plaxico Burress, who sustained a personal injury gunshot in the leg when an illegally concealed weapon accidentally went off may have a few others in hot water.
In New York state, it is a misdemeanor for a hospital not to report a gunshot wound to the police, and according to reports, that is exactly what happened. It appears that several employees of New York-Cornell Hospital, who treated Burress, did not contact the police. The New York State Department of Health is investigating to see if information was deliberately hidden to protect Burress. Additionally the hospital itself has admitted it has suspended an employee for not following procedure. The hospital says it is their policy to contact the police in regards to all gunshot patients.

Burress accidentally shot himself at a Manhattan nightclub Friday evening.(AP Photo/David Karp)
Meanwhile Antonio Pierce, another New York Giant who was with Burress at the club Latin Quarter during the injury and aftermath, is being sought for questioning by police. It appears, however, that he ditched the cops yesterday in favor of a paid radio appearance. Pierce also is reported to have spoken to NFL security about the incident without a lawyer present which could get the league itself tangled up in the investigation.

As much as we love being inspired by the splashy, colorful, nymph-meets-alien looks backstage at Fashion Week (seriously, these makeup artists are geniuses), once in awhile, we like to see runway makeup that's as wearable as it is innovative. Hence, we loved the glowy-chic makeup looks at the Rachel Roy spring '13 presentation, created by none other than Bobbi Brown herself. Inspired by the pretty-yet-edgy vibe of the collection, Brown went for a beachy look that was more sophisticated than surfer.
After prepping skin with Hydrating Face Cream, Brown applied her Bronzing Powder in Antigua for a sun-kissed flush. On the eyes, Brown applied Sunlit Nude Sheer Color Cheek Tint (which will be a part of her spring '13 collection) for a hint of color and accented the corners and crease with Metallic Shadow in Burnt Sugar. To add a flirty polish, lots of Extreme Party Mascara was applied to the lashes, and lips were slicked with Sheer Lip Color in Nude Beige (also new for spring). The result: a Maldives-baked socialite, fresh off the flight and attending a soirée at the Frick. In other words: perfection.
Celeb stylist Ted Gibson was similarly inspired by the uptown-downtown look of Roy's collection: "I pictured this girl as an artist, bold yet soft at the same time and thought a pony would be the perfect look." Gibson started by prepping hair with his own Build It Blow Drying Agent spray and blowing it out to a straight finish, following with a flat iron for gloss. Next, he created a ponytail right at the center of the back of the head to keep the look current: "The position of the ponytail is important because if it's too low, then it ends up being very sophisticated and a little old. If it's too high, then it ends up being too cheerleader, so if you go in between, it makes it something a little special and not too contrived." To finish, Gibson wrapped a piece of hair around the ponytail's base to hide the elastic, and pulled on the hair on the top of the head to create an imperfect finish.
For the nails, Essie nail pros went with BBF Boy Best Friend (a nude-ish mauve) on nails, and created an opaque, creamy coral (a big trend for 2013) on toes by applying one coat of Blanc, followed by two coats of Canyon Coral. We'd say this perfectly gorgeous girl is totally the one you'd love to hate, no?

EDMONTON - Edmonton expat W.P. Kinsella has a lot to answer for. Ever since his novel Shoeless Joe was transformed into the hit movie Field of Dreams, Kinsella's immortal line, "If you build it, he will come" haunts every discussion of building new arenas and sports facilities.
Field of Dreams was a fantasy. That doesn't stop boosters of new stadiums and arenas and ball parks from repeating the mantra as infallible prophesy: "If we build it, they will come" — they, being the fans, the tourists, the investors, the downtown entrepreneurs.
That's been the core premise of a new hockey arena and concert bowl in downtown Edmonton — the hope such a building would magically transform our city centre. It remains to be seen whether that particular fantasy will ever come true. But now that Mayor Stephen Mandel has set a deadline of Oct. 17 as a drop-dead date for the Katz Group to explain what it wants in an arena deal, and with a Seattle radio station reporting that Oilers brass just toured Seattle, let's rephrase the question.
If we built it, would they stay?
Daryl Katz, let's recall, doesn't actually own the site of the proposed arena.
You do. And so do I. The City of Edmonton now owns the property, and the site across the street.
"The deal to acquire the lands has closed and the City does have title to the 12.06 acres north of 104 Avenue between 101 Street and 104 Street as well as the 3.7 acre parcel south of 104 Avenue, between 102 Street and 103 Street, which is planned for the landing of the Winter Garden onto a pedestrian plaza and some associated private sector development," Rick Daviss, the city's executive director for the Edmonton arena district, told me in a recent email.
Daviss says the city bought the land north of 104th Avenue for $40 million, and paid an additional $33.6 million for the land on the south side of the avenue.
If and when the city and the Katz Group were to agree the deal between them had failed, says Daviss, the Katz Group would have a 90-day option to buy back the land. Otherwise, the title would remain in the hands of the city.
Read the Katz Group statement on the Seattle trip
Now, suppose the city simply built a nice new arena on the site, without any direct involvement by the Katz Group? After all, this whole idea of a public-private partnership was always predicated on the notion that Daryl Katz was going to contribute $100 million to the construction of the arena, a very generous investment. But now, that original $100-million pledge has effectively evaporated.
Katz isn't putting in any of that money up front. According to the deal reached last October, the Katz Group was supposed to make annual lease payments of approximately $5.5 million a year. Now, the Katz Group is demanding a new $6-million a year operating subsidy from the city — which would more than wipe out the rent payment. It makes a mockery of any notion of a $100 million contribution from Katz.
Why shouldn't the city just go it alone? If Edmontonians sincerely agree that we need a new arena, and that we should put it downtown, why shouldn't we go ahead and build one on the land we already own, pay all the costs, keep all the concert and rodeo and monster truck and food and drink revenues, and charge Katz — or some other NHL owner — a flat rent?
I put that question to Mandel last week. He cautioned me that the city would still have to negotiate with Katz. And the current deal, stalled though it may be, does include a location agreement, compelling the Oilers to stay here.
Starting over, with the city in charge, would mean taxpayers would take all the risk, with no guarantee of a long-term anchor tenant. Still, it would simplify and streamline the process immensely, because the city would no longer be trying to run a three-legged race, tied to a partner who won't co-operate. It might also make the whole project more palatable to citizens, and to other levels of government, since the arena would truly become a piece of public infrastructure, not a de facto gift to a billionaire.
Could it work? I don't know. But the current model doesn't seem to be working anyway. Maybe it's time to start over — with the city, not the team, in charge of our downtown's future. Let's not be sleepless — just because someone goes to Seattle.

Money Matters: Scariest things people do with their money
Advice offered by Marc Hebert, president of The Harbor Group Inc., a registered investment adviser.
Halloween brings out spooks, ghouls, and things that go bump in the night, but it also brings out our wallets. The National Retail Federation anticipates that consumers will spend on average $79.83 each on Halloween festivities. However, spending on Halloween fun isn't the scariest thing people do with their money. Here is a list of things that send chills down our spine:
Failure to prepare an estate plan. No estate is too small not to have a plan – a will is always an appropriate first step. At the same time, other documents such as powers of attorney for finances and health care and livings wills are usually prepared. These documents are important in case you can not make decisions on your own behalf.
Waiting to fund education costs. Funding decisions shouldn't be made while picking out a prom dress. Decide early in a child's life what type of education costs you would like to pay and the best way to accomplish this goal.
Inadequate insurance. It is a terrifying thing to have all your savings used to settle a lawsuit that proper insurance would have covered. It might be the difference between a comfortable retirement and working long past the age you wish. Consider an umbrella policy to cover liabilities over and above the standard auto and homeowner's coverage. Disability insurance is important in case you aren't able to work. The last major area is long-term care insurance. For the young this might pay for the costs of a nursing home due to an unimaginable accident. For the old nursing care might be needed to maintain a quality of life.
Poor debt management. Use credit wisely. Have a repayment plan. Seek counseling if needed.
Following investment fads. Hot tips do not constitute investment advice. Develop and follow an investment strategy that will meet your personal goals. Understand your investments.
Under estimating retirement costs. Thirty-year retirements are common and inflation drives the costs even higher. Estimate retirement costs carefully and start saving money as soon as possible.
Failure to contribute to a retirement plan. This is related to the prior point. Retirement is expensive. Retirement plans offered at work are goods places to save money while enjoying a tax deferral benefit. The potential for a company match makes it even better. If your company does not offer a retirement plan then traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs might be the perfect alternative for you.
Counting on the lottery to fund retirement. This is perhaps the scariest of all. Consistent savings produces the best results.
