July 9, 2012 —
Babies in homes with dogs have fewer colds, fewer ear infections, and need fewer antibiotics in their first year of life than babies raised in pet-free homes, Finnish researchers find.
Homes with cats are healthier for babies, too, but not to the same extent as those with dogs, note researchers Eija Bergroth, MD, of Finland's Kuopio University Hospital, and colleagues.
"The strongest effect was seen with dog contacts. We do not know why it was stronger than with cat contacts," Bergroth tells WebMD. "It might have something to do with dirt brought inside by the dogs, especially since the strongest protective effect was seen with children living in houses where dogs spent a lot of time outside."
Earlier studies have found that children raised on farms get asthma much less often than other kids. And some studies have found that kids in homes with dogs have fewer colds than other kids.
To take a closer look at the situation, Bergroth's team followed 397 Finnish children from their third trimester of pregnancy through their first 12 months of life. Parents filled out weekly diaries with detailed information on their child's health and on their child's contact with dogs and cats.
They found that compared to kids in pet-free homes, kids in homes with dogs:
Why Might Dogs Make a Difference?
It's not clear why living with a dog makes such a difference.
"It might have something to do with the dog itself as an animal," Bergroth suggests. "The living environment can also affect this. These children lived in rural or suburban areas, so inner-city kids -- and dogs -- might get different results."
A time-honored theory, the hygiene hypothesis, suggests that children's immune systems mature best when infants are exposed to germs in just the right amount. Too many germs are unhealthy, but so is a sterile, germ-free home.
That theory is now giving way to the "microbiome hypothesis," says Karen DeMuth, MD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics at Atlanta's Emory University.
"The microbiome hypothesis is that early-life exposure to wide varieties of microbes lets them mix with the microbes in the gut and helps them keep the immune system from reacting against itself and causing autoimmune disease, or from reacting against stuff you should ignore and causing allergy," she says.
The hygiene hypothesis has indeed changed, says Anna Fishbein, MD, an allergy and immunology fellow at Northwestern University and now an assistant professor at the University of Maryland.
"It's become more complicated. It's no longer just getting exposed to the right number of microbes, but to good bacteria and viruses that alter the microbes in our intestines and protect us against both allergies and infections," Fishbein tells WebMD.
Dogs Not Good for All Kids
But one child's good microbes are another child's bad microbes, DeMuth warns.
"There is also an interaction between these microbes and an individual child's genetics," she says. "Certain people who have a dog in the house are protected against infections and allergies, but some are not. This is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing."
Worst of all, DeMuth says, is for the family of a sickly or asthmatic child to bring a dog into a pet-free home in the hope that it might help.
"The absolute wrong thing is to put a dog in the house for kids with asthma," she says. "Yes, having a dog in the house early can protect against wheezing or respiratory infections. But this exposure has to happen very early in life."
What about parents who are themselves allergic to dogs or cats? Should they bring a pet into the home for the sake of their soon-to-be-born child?
"This is always a hard question," Bergroth says. "But it is important for the child that its parents can live happily in the home without symptoms."
The Bergroth study appears in the August 2012 issue of Pediatrics.

Just finished reading Harry Bryan's latest (for the 4th time!) in WB about stick steering. I've always loved the idea along with the rope steering run around the perimeter of the boat. I have to question it's use with higher horse power outboard motors though. I have been searching for any regulations pertaining to steering systems and horsepower but come up empty handed. I thought I had read at one time that cable and pulley on anything over 20 h.p. was illegal. Correct? I am currently building the Big Ben Garvey, Doug Hylan's design, and I'm at the point where I need to stop the hard thinking about it and get serious about systems installation. Trying to balance creature comforts with safety and ease of use are beginning to make me crazy!
Other than the motor size issue I am a huge fan of Harry Bryan's designs and tool building. I also pride myself on designing and building my own fixtures and jigs mostly for solo work. Thanks all.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — Seven South Texas residents have been indicted in an investigation of counterfeit DVDs and CDs that led to the seizure of more than 58,000 fake items.
Federal prosecutors on Thursday announced the arrest of six people from Corpus Christi. All face detention hearings Friday in the copyright infringement and intellectual property rights cases. A seventh defendant remains at large.
Prosecutors say the indictment involves fake movies and music distributed in the Corpus Christi area via flea markets and at least one company.
A raid last August at three homes and a business led to thousands of pirated DVDs and CDS confiscated, along with production materials.

Here I am cycling along the Pacific Coast's Highway 1 in Northern California.
When you're working in an office most of the year, and you only get a few weeks vacation, you really need to make the most of your time off. At Urban Outfitters, we got a four-day weekend over Memorial Day, so I took the whole week off to meet up with my friend Will Clarke in Seattle to do a bike tour along the Pacific Coast in Washington and Oregon.
It was wet in Washington. Duh.
On our second day riding in Washington, it started raining. And it was forecast to rain the rest of the week too. So we decided to rent a car to get down to sunny California … where everyone's blonde!
When in California … you gotta go blonde. And hell no, we didn't do it ourselves. We went to the salon!
We restarted our bike tour in Eureka, California. Cycling along Highway 101 kind of sucked. It was a wide highway, so it was good to have a lot of shoulder, but it was pretty boring. The highlight along Highway 101 between Eureka and where you meet up with Highway 1 to get to the coast was definitely the Redwoods. Make sure to ride along the Avenue of the Giants through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The road was quiet and the Redwoods were enormous and impressive.
It's a fairly remote stretch. There might have been a campground or motel, but since we'd wasted some time driving in a rental car, we made a special effort to do some wild camping, especially since we were in a Redwood forest.
Yeah, we've got matching tents: TarpTent Contrail.
When Highway 101 split off onto Route 1, we climbed a mountain to get to the Pacific coast. And it was so worth it. The highlight of the trip was riding along the coastal road on Route 1. I've done a lot of bike tours, but I think this stretch was the most scenic. God must be some kind of crazy artist.
My Surly Traveler's Check (aka CrossCheck with S & S Couplers) with a bikepacking setup just after reaching Route 1 on the Pacific Coast in Northern California
Since the Pacific Coast road is probably the most popular bike touring route in the US, I had some idea that there'd be lots of services along the way. I was way off. Route 1 was surprisingly remote. Every once in a while, we'd pass through a small town that had a gas station, or an over-priced convenience store.
Even with my bikepacking setup, I was able to find some room to dry my laundry using my cargo net.
We biked a few days along Route 1, and it was really incredible. The riding wasn't too difficult. There was lots of up-and-down, and twists-and-turns, but all manageable and it made for more interesting riding especially with the view to the Pacific.
Since we'd had a lot of variety already on the bike tour, we opted for more. We decided to turn off Route 1 to go to Napa Valley. It was an okay choice. We had a long climb over the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the ride through wine country was pleasant, but it didn't come close to the beauty of the Pacific coast road. If I had to do it over, I think I'd stay on Route 1 all the way into San Francisco.
Crossing the Golden Gate bridge into San Francisco was a nice way to cap off the trip. I didn't feel all that victorious at the time though because we had to immediately think about getting back up to Seattle. We found a shitty Pakistani all-you-can-eat buffet, and considered all our options while we charged up our phones. After exhausting Craigslist, train schedules, and the idea of buying a car, we took the BART train to the airport, and rented a car through Alamo. Hertz sucked because they wouldn't let us go over 600 miles in one day; they were going to force us to rent the car for two days. Alamo was fairly cheap, had no mileage restriction, and let us pick any size car. We ended up cramming our two bikes into a tiny car, which later made for an uncomfortable sleeping situation at the rest stop. 14 hours of driving later, and smelling like shit, we made it back to Seattle.
Bike touring the Pacific Coast in Northern California was incredible. Now I've gotta do the rest of California.

Due to the inclement weather occurring in Southwest Georgia, the Albany Marathon & ½ Marathon and Mardi Gras Street Festival are undergoing a few changes. Officials with the race say they will be changing the route ending and finish line due to the rising Flint River. The original route took runners through Thronateeska Heritage Center and down the Riverwalk to the Finish Line in Riverfront Park, behind the Albany Welcome Center. This year the Finish Line will be at Thronateeska Heritage Center. The alternative route has been certified and will still be a Boston Qualifier.
"We appreciate the Thronateeska Heritage Center staff for being flexible with the changes of this year's race," says Rashelle Beasley, Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau Director. "We have worked out all of the logistics. We are ready for race day."
Officials say that the Mardi Gras Street Festival has moved to the 100 blocks of Front Street and Pine Avenue with entry gates at the intersections of West Broad Ave and Front Street, North Washington and Pine Ave, and the alley across from the Albany Welcome Center. The festival has a new time, beginning at 10 am and running until midnight with the main stage on Pine Avenue. New fees will be in place (Adults: $5, Ages 13 and up: $5, Ages 3-12: $2) and no unattended children will be admitted. For more information regarding Mardi Gras, contact Teresa Smith at 229.317.4760.

I am going to Spain and had planned on using this kit with my iPod Touch, but I just got an iPad and noticed that it's charger is a little different (Input 100-240V 0.45A 50-60Hz Output: 5.1V 2.3A). Can I just snap the plug adapters from this kit into my iPad charger and have it work ok? I don't want to accidentally fry my iPad or have it not charge at all!

MacBook pro plug adapter with iPad
Hi, am going to Taiwan. My iPad 2 charger head is for Britain ( 3 headed cuboid). The charging block of the iPad has an input rating of 100-240v~, 0.45a, 50-60hz, accompanied by the aforementioned charger adapter with a rating of 2.5a, 240v~. Since Taiwan sockets use the 2 fork charge heads, I noticed that my sister's MacBook pro has a similar head. But its rating is 2.5a, 125v~. Will it work? Btw, taiwan's voltage is 110v usually.

Does the plug for the ipad2 charger come off so you can use the world adapter?
the original plug looks to be about 1 1/2 inch square. Where the prongs are is a section which appears to be able to be taken out. Does it snap apart so as to use the world travel adapter for Continental Europe?

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- The ex-wife of an Augusta attorney is pleading guilty to a charge of providing alcohol to a minor, and prosecutors are dropping a related charge of rape.
A lawyer for Caroline Neal tells The Augusta Chronicle a sentencing hearing will be set later.
Neal and her now ex-husband, Joe Neal Jr., were indicted in March after a then-18-year-old babysitter accused them of sexual assault in December.
The man accepted a plea deal after the start of his trial and received three years of probation, plus community service.
The babysitter said Caroline Neal had invited her to the couple's home for "girl talk" and a glass of wine last December before she was sexually assaulted.
Joe Neal Jr. pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, marijuana possession and an alcohol charge.

July 26, 2011 Top 10 Prospects Los Angeles Kings
by Corey Pronman
Full list of NHL Organizational Rankings
The Los Angeles Kings Top 10 Prospects
1. Andrei Loktionov, Center 2. Viatcheslav Voynov, Defense 3. Derek Forbort, Defense 4. Jake Muzzin, Defense 5. Tyler Toffoli, Right Wing 6. Thomas Hickey, Defense 7. Maxim Kitsyn, Left Wing 8. Dwight King, Left Wing 9. Martin Jones, Goaltender 10. Brandon Kozun, Right Wing
Organizational Ranking: 8th
System Overview: Losing an elite prospect like Brayden Schenn is never easy on a system, but the Kings pipelines still stand strong. Andrei Loktionov is one of the better forward prospects in hockey, and based on my observations and talks with NHL sources, he's not that far off from Brayden Schenn. After Loktionov, the Kings have several quality defense prospects in Viatcheslav Voynov, Derek Forbort, Jake Muzzin and Thomas Hickey.
Amongst their top 10 prospects, there's a decent amount of risk/upside on players like Tyler Toffoli, Maxim Kitsyn and Derek Forbort. This system could generate several significant producers, or could produce only one or two of those and some nice depth. There is definitely talent in this organization any way you look at it though.
1. Andrei Loktionov, Center Date of birth: 05/30/1990 Age: 21 Height: 5'10'' Weight: 180 Shoots: Left Statistics: 34 GP, 8 G, 31 P (Manchester-AHL) Acquired: Fifth round, 123rd overall in 2008 by Los Angeles
The Good: Loktionov is a brilliant playmaking center, with top-end possession skills and he has all the looks of one of the top forward prospects in all of hockey. His puck skills are plus if not better, and he's quite a player to watch with the puck. He's very coordinated in tight; he's quick with the puck when handling it and has the skills to make players miss with consistency. Loktionov couples that with plus hockey sense, and that combo lets him be a scoring threat on nearly every shift. He has great vision, anticipation and reads the play quite well. He's an above-average skater, with a great motor and has a top speed that is threatening enough to force pro defenders to back up a little bit. Loktionov is a sound two-way player, who plays fine defensive hockey at even-strength and on the penalty kill. His work ethic is very notable, and he's quite a feisty player.
The Bad: Loktionov has a below-average physical game, and can be pushed off the puck by bigger players. He has a decent amount of muscle, but I don't see his physical game ever getting to NHL average. He's pretty much ready to score at the next level, and the only thing impeding him will be space and ice time on the Kings roster.
Projection: Ideally, an above-average first line forward who should at the least become a below-average first line forward.
2. Viatcheslav Voynov, Defense Date of birth: 01/15/1990 Age: 21 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 193 Shoots: Right Statistics: 76 GP, 15 G, 51 P (Manchester-AHL) Acquired: Second round, 32nd overall in 2008 by Los Angeles
The Good: Voynov's an above-average skater with a desirable top gear who moves pretty fluidly. His hockey sense is above-average, especially his offensive instincts. He's the kind of player you want bringing the puck out of your zone or controlling it on the power play as he shows good vision on top of reading the play well. Voynov is an above-average passer who can distribute the puck quite well. He shows good coordination with the puck, although he isn't an above-average puck skills/flash and dash type of player, but can handle it fine. Voynov has a hard shot and can be a trigger guy on the power play on top of being the main puck mover.
The Bad: Voynov is a very slight player and projects to have a fringe physical game at the highest level. His defensive awareness isn't truly below average, but he can get caught out of position every so often trying to help on offense.
Projection: An above-average second pairing defender at best, who safely projects onto a top four.
3. Derek Forbort, Defense Date of birth: 03/04/1992 Age: 19 Height: 6'5'' Weight: 200 Shoots: Left Statistics: 38 GP, 0 G, 15 P (University of North Dakota-WCHA) Acquired: First round, 15th overall in 2010 by Los Angeles
The Good: Forbort is a tremendous package of tools with top-end upside. He's a solid-average and possibly beyond skater and moves very well for a defender his size. Very few 6'5" defensemen can push the pace up the ice like Forbort can or have the lateral agility to evade pursuit. He can be an above-average passer and like his skating, his offensive skills and puck-moving abilities are unlike many defenders of Forbort's stature. His physical game projects as plus if not plus plus at the highest level, although he could stand to use his frame a little more, but he's not completely shy from contact. His defensive game is decent, with his combo of gap control and stick-work being impressive.
The Bad: Forbort looks many years away, as he's quite raw and has some work to do in regards to his overall awareness and decision-making. His hockey sense looks fringe at times, and despite the fine abilities with the puck, he coughs it up regularly. His frame is quite skinny, and he has a lot of gym work ahead of him. Forbort's pivots and backwards skating could use some work too as he can be beaten by faster forwards.
Projection: Forbort has the raw ability to be an average first pairing defender in a perfect world, but his projection as of now is an average second pairing defender who safely projects as a below-average second to above-average third pairing defender.
4. Jake Muzzin, Defense Date of birth: 02/21/1989 Age: 22 Height: 6'2'' Weight: 213 Shoots: Left Statistics: 45 GP, 3 G, 18 P (Manchester-AHL) Acquired: Major Junior free agent
The Good: Muzzin's development has been tracking straight upwards the last two seasons. He is more than physically ready for the NHL, and I'd say he easily projects to have an above-average physical game in the league. Muzzin's a decent puck-moverhe won't stretch the ice or anythingbut he can move it around the ice fine and he's not a liability in that regard. Muzzin has a big shot and can really unload on some of his point blasts. His defensive game is solid and he plays a quiet, yet effective positional game in his own end. Muzzin's offensive instincts are fairhe's not a highly offensive-minded defenderbut he will jump into the rush if he senses he can help, and he can spot on a power play.
The Bad: Muzzin's skating has developed quite a bit and it flashes pro-level, but there are times when it looks just a notch below that. There isn't really a glaring weakness in Muzzin's game, but there isn't a true stand out facet either.
Projection: Potentially an average second pairing defenseman who should at least end up a below-average second pairing defenseman.
5. Tyler Toffoli, Right Wing Date of birth: 04/24/1992 Age: 19 Height: 6'0'' Weight: 181 Shoots: Right Statistics: 68 GP, 57 G, 108P (Ottawa-OHL) Acquired: Second round, 47th overall in 2010 by Los Angeles
The Good: Toffoli is a very skilled winger who had a tremendous year in the OHL. He's one of the better goal-scoring prospects in hockey with what NHL scouts regularly describe as "an unbelievable shot" that has pinpoint accuracy and comes off his stick very quickly. He has very good offensive awareness, and I regularly hear things like "the puck just follows Toffoli around the ice" from scouts. His puck skills are solid, as he can hold it and distribute it well. His offensive instincts carry over to his vision with the puck and he can be quite a fine playmaker on top of his goal-scoring abilities. Toffoli plays with an edge to his game, and doesn't mind playing a chippy game when he needs to.
The Bad: Toffoli needs a lot of attention towards his defensive game, and while he showed progress this year, that area still has a ways to go. His skating improved somewhat, but the tool is below-average with an underwhelming top gear although he does have decent agility. Scouts note there are times when Toffoli can absolutely dominate, but then will vanish for a stretch.
Projection: An above-average scoring second line winger who is a great power play option and needs coaching protection if some things go right, whot could also end up as a career AHLer.
6. Thomas Hickey, Defense Date of birth: 02/08/1989 Age: 22 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 185 Shoots: Left Statistics: 77 GP, 6 G, 24 P (Manchester-AHL) Acquired: First round, fourth overall in 2007 by Los Angeles
The Good: Hickey wrapped up a fine first full professional season after having his 2009-10 season cut short by injury. Hickey is an above-average skater with an effortless stride and good all-around mobility. He accelerates quickly and can join the attack effectively. Hickey is decent with the pucknot really the flashiest playerbut his possession skills are powered by his above-average hockey sense. Hickey is a calm and aware player with the puck who controls a power play well and moves the puck around efficiently. His defensive awareness is also solid, as he plays his assignments and reads the play in the defensive half of the ice well. He's put on a decent amount of muscle since Junior, and he has just about as much strength as a player his size is going to.
The Bad: Hickey's physical game is below average, as despite a decent work ethic on the ice physically and the fact he can win some battles, he's not going to be NHL average in that aspect. He can be victim at times of trying to be too involved offensively.
Projection: A below-average second pairing defenseman whose floor projection isn't far away from that.
7. Maxim Kitsyn, Left Wing Date of birth: 12/24/1991 Age: 19 Height: 6'2'' Weight: 183 Shoots: Right Statistics: 32 GP, 9 G, 26 P (Mississauga-OHL) Acquired: Sixth round, 158th overall in 2010 by Los Angeles
The Good: Kitsyn is a solid all-around offensive talent who doesn't dazzle in one particular area, but is a fairly gifted player. He's a solid skater with a fine stride and he moves up the ice at a notable pace. He's a shifty player who can be elusive and tough to check. His abilities with the puck are above average, as Kitsyn has a fine arsenal of moves and he is also able to protect it quite well. Kitsyn has a big frame which he's grown into quite well, and shows decent strength during battles and in front of the net.
The Bad: Kitsyn has the ability to be an above-average distributor, but doesn't always look for his teammates and overall I'd say his two-way hockey sense is below average. He disappears for stretches of time; with his talent level, he should be performing at a higher level over a long term sample.
Projection: He could be an average second line forward if things go right, or he may never become a league regular.
8. Dwight King, Left Wing Date of birth: 07/05/1989 Age: 22 Height: 6'3'' Weight: 227 Shoots: Left Statistics: 72 GP, 24 G, 52 P (Manchester-AHL) Acquired: Fourth round, 109th overall in 2007 by Los Angeles
The Good: Dwight King is a hard-nosed big body winger who is close to locking up a full time job in the league (if roster room allows for it). He's got a wide, muscular frame and projects to be have a plus physical game. He goes to the net with regularity and is good at protecting the puck in the cycle game. King shows a good work ethic coming back into his zone and will support his defenders down low. He can play well in front of the net on the power play with decent hand-eye coordination getting his stick on pucks.
The Bad: King is a below-average skater, who gets to average in full gallop but has a poor stride that has a hard time getting him started. He has some skills, but he's awkward with the puck and isn't really a pro-level offensive player skills- or instincts-wise.
Projection: An average third line forward at best who could easily find some role in a bottom six.
9. Martin Jones, Goaltender Date of birth: 01/10/1990 Age: 21 Height: 6'4'' Weight: 191 Catches: Left Statistics: 39 GP, .924 SV% (Manchester-AHL) Acquired: Undrafted free agent
The Good: Martin Jones is a well-rounded netminder who gets praise for the technical and athletic aspects of his game. He's the kind of goaltender who can square up pucks, and has the above-average hockey sense to read the play well and get in the right position, but also has a fair amount of athleticism that allows him to scramble if needed to make the desperation save. He has grown into his tall frame quite well and fills up the net nicely. Jones plays the puck well, and his hockey sense translates into that aspect of his game.
The Bad: There's not a whole lot to put here, as Jones just needs some more experience at the pro level fine-tuning some of his reads and reactions, but there's no real weakness to his game. His upside is not that high though.
Projection: An average NHL starter in a perfect world, who safely projects as a below-average NHL starter to above-average NHL backup.
10. Brandon Kozun, Right Wing Date of birth: 03/08/1990 Age: 21 Height: 5'8'' Weight: 165 Shoots: Right Statistics: 72 GP, 23 G, 48 P (Manchester-AHL) Acquired: Sixth round, 179th overall in 2009 by Los Angeles
The Good: Kozun is an above-average skater who flashes plus and is a good all-around mover. He has a desirable top speed, but is also quite agile and shifty from a standstill. He has a good motor, and a quick, efficient stride that complements his work ethic well. Kozun is above-average with the puck with quick hands and good coordination. He's a talented playmaker, with above-average vision and when he creates space for himself he can find his options quite well. Kozun's hockey sense is an impressive tool, with one scout noting how he almost never turns the puck over. His shot is above-average, and while it's not particularly hard, it's very accurate.
The Bad: Just another one of those cases of "look at the height and weight." Bigger players can just easily erase Kozun off the puck, and that was apparent in the pro game.
Projection: A below-average second line forward if he makes it, but there's a good chance he simply ends up a career minor leaguer.
The Sleeper: 2009 seventh round pick Nic Dowd is a forward with a good physical game, who excels on the cycle, has fine hockey sense and decent skills. Entering his sophomore season at St. Cloud, he could be a candidate for a big season.
Extra Notes: For the Kings #10 spot on my list, I debated between three smaller forwards, with the other two being Linden Vey and Jordan Weal. I had Weal right behind Kozun, as I really like Weal's hockey sense and skills with the puck, even if he's simply an average skater and poor for a smaller player.

Cavemen [TV Series]
The ABC sitcom Cavemen was inspired by a popular TV advertising campaign for GEICO Auto Insurance. These were the ads which a smarmy commercial spokesman who claimed that a GEICO policy was so simple that "Even a caveman could understand it" was taken to task by a pair of real cavemen, who despite their goonish Neanderthal appearance--matted hair, buck teeth, bushy eyebrows et.al.--were urbane, sardonically witty and very easily offended! In the weekly-series version of this concept, a trio of young, hip cavemen lived and worked in contemporary San Diego, doing their best to fit in with the non-caveman world while still remaining fiercely loyal to their prehistoric "roots". Bill English played Joel Claybrook, the hardest-working of the three "primitives", who secretly broke the unofficial Code of the "Maggers" (a nickmame for Cro-Magnons) by falling in love with Kate (Kaitlin Doubleday), a blonde, blue eyed "Sape" (short for "Homo Sapiens", a cavemen term for those who'd evolved into "modern" humans). Nick Kroll was Joel's roommate Nick Hedge, a sullen slacker who militantly disapproved of mixing the species and had no intention of ever assimilating into the "Sape" world. Sam Huntington rounded out the threesome as Joel's nerdish, whiny younger brother Andy. Jeff Daniel Phillips, who'd starred in the original GEICO commercials, was seen as the protagonist's friend and fellow "Magger" Maurice. Others in the cast included Stephanie Lemelin as Kate's best friend Thorne, a "Sape" with an insatiable Caveman fetish, and Julie White as Leslie, the realtor for the boys' apartment building, who had to keep admonishing them to behave like everyone else and not be so "primal." The ABC publicity department proudly trumpetted the rather obvious fact that Cavemen was intended to be a metaphorical slam against racial prejudice (it was even more obvious in the pilot episode, which was set deep in the American south--Atlanta, to be exact) and a plea for tolerance and understanding for those among us who were a little bit different. . .or even a whole lot different! The series' unsung heroes were the talented members of the makeup crew, who convincingly transformed the three stars into hirsute cavedwellers without sacrificing the actors' personalities or hampering their natural facial movements. The much-ballyhooed network premiere of Cavemen took place on October 2, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hope & Faith [TV Series]
Daytime drama star and talk show host Kelly Ripa invaded the realm of ABC sitcomery in the weekly Hope & Faith. Something of a female Odd Couple, the series starred Ripa as Faith, a recently fired soap opera star (both of the characters she played were killed off by the writers) who left Hollywood and relocated to the suburbs of the Midwest. Here the flamboyant Faith moved in with her strait-laced control-freak sister, Hope (Faith Ford), and Hope's family, causing all sorts of chaos with Hope's husband, Charley (Ted McGinley), and three children. Evidently the series underwent a difficult gestation period, inasmuch as three main cast members were replaced after the pilot episode. Whatever the cast, Hope & Faith was launched as scheduled on September 25, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Expendables return with a vengeance in this follow-up to the 2010 surprise hit. Con Air's Simon West directed from a script by Sylvester Stallone and David Agosto. This time, Barney Ross (Stallone) and his merry band of mercentaries (including Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, and Terry Crews) take on a mission from Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) to clear Ross' record. The mission in question involves acquiring a black box from a downed airplane, with the caveat that they bring along Maggie (Yu Nan), a military-trained soldier who throws a gendered wrench into the team's manly ranks. When another mercenary, Jean Vilain (Jean Claude Van Damme), ambushes the team and mess up their newest member (The Hunger Games' Liam Hemsworth), it's hunt and kill time for the Expendables. Jet Li returns in an extended cameo, as does Arnold Schwarzenegger, with fellow '80s action star Chuck Norris coming along for the ride. Undisputed III's Scott Adkins co-stars as Vilain's henchman, Hector. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add The Expendables to top of Queue
An all-star cast of action-movie icons headline Sylvester Stallone's explosive action thriller about a group of hard-nosed mercenaries who are double-crossed during a treacherous mission. Approached by the shadowy Church (Bruce Willis) to overthrow tyrannical South American dictator General Gaza (David Zayas) and restore order to the troubled island country of Vilena, stoic soldier of fortune Barney Ross (Stallone) rounds up an unstoppable team that includes former SAS soldier and blade specialist Lee Christmas (Jason Statham); martial arts expert Yin (Jet Li); trigger-happy Hale Caesar (Terry Crews); and cerebral demolitions expert Toll Road (Randy Couture). Traveling to Vilena on a reconnaissance mission with his old pal Christmas, Barney meets their local contact, a cagey guerrilla fighter named Sandra (Giselle Itie), and together the trio scopes out the landscape.. It isn't long before Barney and Christmas have discovered that their actual target is not General Gaza but James Monroe (Eric Roberts), a former CIA operative who has recently gone rogue. Monroe won't be easy to get to either, because his hulking bodyguard Paine (Steve Austin) is a force to be reckoned with. When their mission is compromised, Barney and Christmas are forced to flee, leaving Sandra behind to face almost certain death. But Barney isn't the kind of soldier to abandon a mission, or a hostage, and now in order to get the job done he'll need the help of his old crew. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Four volunteers sign up for what initially appears to be a typical paid research study, only to discover that they've unwittingly become involved with a classified government program that was said to have been terminated nearly two decades ago, in this tense psychological thriller from director Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning). The allure of a little extra cash proving too powerful to resist, four strangers decide to partake in a paid research study. As the study gets underway, the group is presented with a series of questions, and given a finite window of time in which each individual member must submit a unique numerical answer. At first, the participants all assume that the subject who gives the most obviously incorrect answer will be removed from the experiment, though it doesn't take long for the group to realize that the correct answer isn't always the answer that the researchers are looking for. Meanwhile, as the brooding Dr. Phillips (Peter Stormare) attempts to manipulate the study to get the answers he wants, the newest member of his team, military psychologist Ms. Reilly (Chloë Sevigny) begins questioning the ethics of such a diabolical experiment. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man struggling to save the life of another finds himself drawn into a strange netherworld he didn't know existed in this stylish thriller. Sam Foster (Ewan McGregor) is a psychiatrist living in New York City with his girlfriend, Lila Culpepper (Naomi Watts), who was once one of his patients. However, it's another one of his patients who becomes the focus of his obsessions when Henry Letham (Ryan Gosling), a disturbed young man whom Foster took over from a colleague, announces during a session that he intends to commit suicide in three days, on his 21st birthday. Sam takes the threat quite seriously and tries to track down Henry, who seems to have disappeared. Sam speaks to a number of Henry's friends and acquaintances -- his mother (Kate Burton), the man he claimed was his father, Dr. Leon Patterson (Bob Hoskins), a waitress who regularly served Henry at the coffee shop where she works (Elizabeth Reaser), and his former therapist Dr. Beth Levy (Janeane Garofalo). As Sam talks to people in Henry's circle, he finds he's learning more about himself than the man he's supposed to save, and he begins to drift into an emotional netherworld where the supposedly dead and the living cross paths. Stay was directed by Marc Forster, who had previously enjoyed breakthrough hits with two very different films, Monster's Ball and Finding Neverland. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

First-time filmmaker Omar Naim wrote and directed the sci-fi drama The Final Cut. Set in the near future, the story concerns a device implanted in the body that is capable of recording a person's entire life. Once it is extracted from the body after death, the footage can be played back on a screen in the form of "rememories." Robin Williams plays Alan Hakman, an editor who cuts together the footage to make pleasant movies for funerals. Tormented by his job and his own memories, Alan also has a troubled romantic relationship with bookseller Delila (Mira Sorvino). While looking through footage for his next project, Alan discovers a man whom he believes is from his own past. Meanwhile, former editor Fletcher (James Caviezel) wants the footage for his own purposes. The Final Cut was shown at the Berlin Film Festival in 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

The Match
The first film by Mick Davis, The Match is a contemporary romantic comedy set in the idyllic village of Inverdoune nestling in the Scottish Highlands. Wullie Smith is the shy milkman who carries the physical and emotional scars of a childhood tragedy and who is in love with Rosemary, the beautiful daughter of Bill Bailey, a local farmer with a curious affection for cows. Rosemary has returned briefly to Inverdoune after five years away at a university and intends to leave again to pursue her career in the big city. Wullie's impossible dreams are fueled by his friend Buffalo, a semi-alcoholic American who was left behind when his USAF unit moved on. The village has only one street, but two pubs: Benny's Bar, owned by Big Tam, meeting place of the eccentric clientele, and L'Bistro, a place of sterile modernity owned by narcissistic Gorgeous Gus. The soccer teams of each bar have been carrying on a feud for 99 years and Benny's Bar has been losing all the games. But it is the result of the centenary game that determines the future of Benny's Bar. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

text: We all want more; more money, more power, more hours in the day, more horsepower, more bang for our buck, etc. Actually the last two might be top priorities for Harley-Davidson enthusiasts. Therefore we thought it was a pretty smart idea that Harley decided to offer a PowerPak option on select models for 2011. Power, peace of mind, and performance, the PowerPak is like hitting a trifecta. For $1,995 more on top of the base price, certain new bike owners have the option of receiving their bike with a 103ci engine, H-D Smart Security System, and ABS brakes. The PowerPak comes standard on the '11 Road King Classic, Electra Glide Ultra Limited, and Road Glide Ultra models and is offered as a factory-installed option on '11 Street Glide and Road Glide Custom models. We see the PowerPak as a great alternative to those that want more oomph than the base 96ci mill, but don't want to pony up 10-plus Gs to get into the saddle of a 110ci CVO model. With the PowerPak option you can get some of the most desirable upgrades people often want for quite a bit less than the cost of a CVO. The heart of the PowerPak is the 103ci engine. The 103 features the same 4.38-inch stroke as the stock 96; however, the bore is punched out from 3.75 inches to 3.875 inches. According to Harley the increase in displacement equates to 102 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm, versus the 92.6 lb-ft of torque the 96 puts out; an increase of nearly 10 percent in peak torque. To help keep the less honest at bay, the Smart Security System offers automatic self arming and disarming through a hands-free fob, which communicates directly with the security module on an individualized frequency. So when the rider switches off the ignition and leaves the proximity of the motorcycle, the Smart Security system disables the starter, ignition, and EFI. In the braking department, the ABS works in conjunction with Brembo dual four-piston calipers up front and a solo four-piston caliper out back gripping down on 300mm rotors to help maintain control during braking events, especially those that occur in less than optimal conditions. The ABS system isn't linked which means that the rider still maintains independent control of front and rear brakes. Our local fleet center, which houses all H-D's press models, had an '11 Street Glide with the PowerPak installed and we were lucky enough to get our hands on it for about a month. The first thing we'll say about the SG we tested is that the solid Sedona Orange paint scheme was beautiful. It had a deep rich hue in the shade or dark lighting, but then when the sun hit it, the orange shimmered as mini specs and flakes reflected the sun's rays. Aside from the PowerPak upgrade, which we identified right away by the 103 badges on the air cleaner and primary cover, for 2011 H-D made some slight changes to the Street Glide. Gone is the 2-into-1 exhaust system that was found on the previous year's SG and Road Glide models. For 2011 both models feature the 2-into-2 under slung exhaust system found on the other touring bikes. According to H-D this change came due to feedback from customers and dealers as it was much more costly for customers to switch their 2-into-1 system to a 2-into-2. Another change is a new sculpted seat that has been reshaped for better styling and comfort. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Eric Ellis Enjoyed this Post?

Captain Brian Gionta returns to the ice to play his 700th career contest on Tuesday when the Montreal Canadiens wrap up their four-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets. Gionta bravely competed in Montreal's 3-2 loss to Calgary on Wednesday and 4-1 victory over Edmonton the following night before returning home to tend to his ailing son. The 34-year-old missed the Canadiens' 4-1 win over Vancouver on Saturday, but Gionta's ready to rejoin the team with his son in better spirits."We gave him the option to stay home given the circumstances, but he wanted to come be here with his teammates," coach Michel Therrien said. "That's a great display of leadership." Evander Kane continues to lead by example after scoring twice following his promotion to the top line as Winnipeg snapped a three-game losing skid with Sunday's 3-0 triumph over the reeling New Jersey Devils. "I take it upon myself to be one of the leaders in this room and on the ice," Kane said.TV: 8 p.m. ET, RDS (Montreal), TSN (Winnipeg)ABOUT THE CANADIENS (3-2-0): While the prevailing talk centered around a bizarre own goal by the Canucks, Carey Price put forth a stellar effort with 39 saves in his home province. A likely Team Canada netminder for the upcoming Olympics, Price yielded just five goals in his last three games - and was in net for two of the three contests last season in a series sweep versus Winnipeg. Lars Eller, who was credited with the own goal despite being on the bench, has a team-leading five tallies and shares the point lead of seven with Alex Galchenyuk and reigning Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban.ABOUT THE JETS (3-3-0): Coach Claude Noel has taken to shuffling up his lines - with captain Andrew Ladd being dropped to the second in favor of Kane. Ladd didn't sulk with the turn of events as his third goal of the season capped the scoring on Sunday. Rookie defenseman Jacob Trouba, 19, logged a season-high 26:36 of ice time - including over five minutes on the penalty kill.OVERTIME1. The Canadiens have won five straight and eight of nine against the current Jets' franchise.2. After this tilt, Montreal begins a five-game homestand against Columbus on Thursday.3. Winnipeg, which is playing its fourth contest in six nights, is 1-2-0 on its six-game homestand.PREDICTION: Canadiens 4, Jets 2

Abba Seraphim in Manchester
Whilst attending the Eritrean Orthodox Nativity celebrations in Manchester on 6 January, Abba Seraphim also visited, Dorothy Bubbings at her home in Worsley. Mrs. Bubbings, who is 86 and has been suffering from an arthritic hip for the past year, is the widow of the late Father Charles Gardam Bubbings (1926-2001), sometime Vicar of Ringley. Father Charles was also second cousin to Abba Seraphim's mother and he and Archdeacon Alexander were frequent visitors to Ringley Parish Church, where Abba Seraphim preached on several occasions.
On 7 January Abba Seraphim said prayers for the departed at the grave of the late Bishop Ignatius Peter Smethurst (1921-1993), in the Southern Cemetery, Manchester. The late Bishop was one of Abba Seraphim's co-consecrators at his episcopal consecration in 1977 and served as Auxiliary to both Abba Seraphim and his predecessor. In his later years Bishop Ignatius Peter was co-pastor of the congregation at Cusworth and is still remembered with deep affection throughout the British Orthodox Church. He is buried with his parents in Grave No. AA2433, approached from Nell Lane.

James Handzus was sentenced Tuesday in Montgomery County PA, court to nine to 22 years after his conviction of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, criminal use of a communication facility, possession of drug paraphernalia and conspiracy. A narcotics enforcement team discovered in March 2011 that Handzus had allegedly been smuggling large quantities of meth into the U.S. using his airplane, a 1959 Piper Comanche which has since been forfeited and will be sold to fund other drug investigations. The following month local police learned Handzus was flying into Wings Field in Whitpain Township north of Philadelphia. No flight plan had been filed but authorities knew of his plans from a posting on his Facebook page.
The Times Herald newspaper reports that a meeting with an undercover officer was arranged at a local restaurant, and a deal was struck to purchase a pound of methamphetamine. After inspecting the drugs the undercover detective gave Handzus a deposit and then waiting detectives moved in to make the arrest. In court prosecutors alleged the meth came from Mexico and shipped to Las Vegas which is known to be a local drug hub.
First Assistant District Attorney Kevin R. Steele told the paper "If there's one person that knows the insidious nature of this drug it's Mr. Handzus, someone who clearly should have known better. Those who become addicted to this have their lives ruined. What Mr. Handzus was trying to put out on the streets… could have caused a lot of problems for a lot of people."

This article provides insights from Brett's new book "Employer Brand Leadership - A Global Perspective?" For full details please visit the publisher's website click here>
Building market based assets with employer branding
Your employer brand is "the image of your organisation as a 'great place to work' in the mind of current employees and key stakeholders in the external market (active and passive candidates, clients, customers and other key stakeholders). The art and science of employer branding is therefore concerned with the attraction, engagement and retention initiatives targeted at enhancing your company's employer brand."
A strong employer brand is built upon mental (image) and physical availability (market reach) so your creative should work towards building consistent associations you want your employees, candidates and other key stakeholders to have about 'what it's like to work at your company.' Your strategy should work towards expanding your market reach to your target audience using the most effective internal and external communication channels.
However the biggest challenge I find for managers responsible for the employer brand strategy is they don't understand the science of branding and lack knowledge in branding principles and practices which have been informed by decades of research into how brands grow.
Common employer branding mistakes
Some of the most common mistakes I see made by companies include:
Original employer branding article published in South Africa's HR Future and New Zealand's Human Resources Magazine
Have you read Brett's new book "Employer Brand Leadership - A Global Perspective?" For full details please visit the publisher's website click here>
The Profit v Engagement Paradox
Optimising employee engagement has been a common objective of companies over the past five years. This shift in focus has been driven by a more informed view on the relationship between employee/customer engagement and profit.
Studies by global consulting firms such as Gallup, ISR and Hewitt have shown higher levels of employee engagement lead to higher sales revenues and profits. One of the most well know examples that demonstrated this relationship is Sears who used an 'employee-customer-profit chain' to analyse aggregated data from 800 stores, finding that employee attitudes towards their company and their jobs lead to positive employee behaviours toward customers. Sears found that a five percent increase in employee satisfaction drives a 1.3 percent in customer satisfaction, which results in 0.5 percent increase in revenue growth.
Studies also show higher levels of customer engagement lead to stronger financial performance. A 2009 study by Wetpaint and Altimeter Group found companies that are both deeply and widely engaged in social media surpass their peers in terms of both revenue and profit performance by a significant difference. The study found Mavens (defined as brands that are engaged in seven or more channels and have an above-average engagement score) had significantly higher revenue growth, gross margin growth and net margin growth over the previous 12 month period compared to their peers that engaged in fewer channels and had below-average engagement scores.
The Profit & Engagement Matrix
The main objective of a company is to maximise profit whether this is measured in financial outcomes (e.g. private and publicly listed sector) or social good (e.g. not-for-profit and Non-Government Organisation (NGO) sector) or a combination of both (e.g. Government sector)
To encourage companies to define their strategic focus and develop strategy that achieves a better balance between profit and engagement objectives I developed The Profit & Engagement Matrix.
The framework will assist leaders to develop strategies that consider the needs of all stakeholders and do not favour one (e.g. shareholders) at the expense of others (e.g. employees). The framework can also be used as part of the strategic review process to assist leaders to better understand when and where profit, and employee/customer engagement trade-offs will need to be made based on the strategic priorities of the company at the time.
This article provides some insights into "Building employer brand equity as featured in Brett's new book Employer Brand Leadership - A Global Perspective.
Original employer branding article published in South Africa's HR Future Magazine
A company has one brand and the art and science of employer branding provides a focus for the role of the 'employee' in building brand equity.
In addressing the challenge of measuring the ROI of your employer brand strategy your approach can be informed by previous research in marketing, specifically in the area of brand image and brand equity.
Brand image
Brand associations are the determinants of brand image. Keller defines brand image as an amalgamation of the perceptions related to the product related/non-product related attributes and the functional/symbolic benefits that are encompassed in the brand associations that reside in consumer memory.
Marketing literature supports the concept that product brand equity is strengthened when the brand image resonates with the consumer. As brand awareness heightens, consumers begin to develop positive identification with the brand. The more positive the brand is perceived to be, the more highly identified the consumer becomes with the product. As social identity theory suggests, in the end, the consumer purchases the brand because of the positive self-concept that results from feeling membership with the brand. In a similar manner, as potential employees find positive aspects of the employer image, they are more likely to identify with the brand, and will more likely choose to seek membership with the organisation for the sense of heightened self-image that membership promises.

Could this be your most undervalued talent attraction asset?
With the global population estimated at over 6.8 billion people, it's staggering to learn there are nearly 2 billion people internet users around the world. What is even more staggering is that the fastest growing region in the world is Africa with over 2,300 % growth in users during the period 2000-2010. Compare this to around 145% growth in North America during the same period and it is clear to see that Africa is getting connected!
Developments in internet technologies to support talent attraction efforts have also been rapid during this period. The use of the internet for activities central to the recruitment process has shifted the paradigm of traditional paper based methods. The recruitment process is now being supported by rich media, videos, social media, RSS feeds, podcasting, blogs, and applicant tracking systems (ATS).
Google's keyword tool says there is an average of 506,000,000 searches per month using the keyword search 'jobs.' Jobseekers are no longer just interested in finding a job; they are becoming more particular in gaining a better insight into a company's culture, values and employment benefits before joining. A company's employer brand rates highly on a job seekers list and one of the most effective ways to communicate your employer value propositions (EVP's) and provide an insight into, "what it is like to work here," is through your careers website.
In most cases, the information on careers sites is simply a replica of the "about us" section of the main corporate website. It's boring and does very little to engage visitors to your site and may actually be doing your employer brand damage.
The purpose of your careers website should be to:

Brett is an International monthly columnist on employer branding for HR Future
This article provides some insights into Employer Value Proposition development as featured in Brett's new book Employer Brand Leadership - A Global Perspective.
With the increasing fragmentation of offline and online channels used to communicate, 'What it's like to work for this organisation,' it pays to ensure the employment experience you project to current and future employees is matched by what you can realistically deliver upon throughout the employee lifecycle from hire to retire.
At the heart of your employer brand strategy should be your employer value proposition (EVP). Your EVP is an employee-centred approach that is aligned to existing, integrated workforce planning strategies because it has been informed by existing employees and your external target audience. In its simplest form, your EVP is a set of associations and offerings provided by your organisation in return for the skills, capabilities and experiences an employee brings to your organisation.
