Car shoppers shook off any government-shutdown doldrums to keep October auto sales in line with much of this year, save a summer sales boom. Driving the demand were plenty of big names — Detroit pickup trucks and Japanese compacts — but so did some of the month's fastest sellers.
Top 10 Best-Selling Cars: October 2013
New models mixed with old. The Chevrolet Corvette just hit dealerships, and the car is selling as fast as a ... um, Corvette. The Vette heads up October's Movers, averaging just four days to sell. The redesigned BMW X5 also hit dealerships this fall, and it matches other fast-selling models — the Kia Soul and Toyota 4Runner, both sporting mild redesigns — at six days. Land Rover's Range Rover, a perennial mover since last year's redesign, also joins the group.
Below that, things get interesting.
Mercedes redesigned S-Class flagship hit dealers in October and promptly landed among the Movers; the entry-level CLA-Class, meanwhile, reprised September's showing and may have stolen some thunder from the similarly styled (but a lot pricier) CLS-Class, which landed among the Losers.
Toyota introduced the current Tacoma back when President George W. Bush was still in office — in his first term. Yet October marks the second month that some version of the midsize pickup has ranked a Mover. Toyota hasn't greased shoppers with big incentives, either; perhaps the construction rebound has more businesses looking for bargain-basement pickups. The Tacoma, which starts under $19,000, including a destination charge, is still the cheapest truck on the market.
The flip side has potential flops; it's bad news for Acura, Mitsubishi and Kia. The 2014 Acura RLX sedan, Mitsubishi Outlander SUV and Kia Forte sedan, all fresh redesigns, stay on dealer lots more than 55 days apiece, on average. All three are among October's Losers.
This time of year we start to survey only the cars from the next model year; as of today, 61 percent of Cars.com new-car inventory is a 2014. And 2014 models averaged 22.9 days to turn, which is even with October 2012's 23 days to turn for 2013 models.
Here are October's fastest- and slowest-selling cars:
About the Lists
The Fastest- and Slowest-Selling Cars list reports the average number of days it takes to sell models from the day they arrive on the lot until the final paperwork is signed by a buyer. This is not a days-of-inventory list like you may find on other websites. With lots mostly clear of 2013 models, we look exclusively at 2014s now. We call the fastest-sellers Movers and the slowest ones Losers.
For Movers, we only list vehicles that pass a certain threshold of sales in order to weed out limited editions, ultra-high-performance cars and others that might skew the numbers or otherwise inaccurately portray popularity. To highlight all slow sellers, losers have no such threshold.
Our Picks highlight cars that take a significant time before they're sold and might be overlooked by shoppers. Dealers could be more motivated to sell these cars.

A kind reader contacted me about all this holiday dress coverage to share her appreciation for the focus on dresses in the (mostly) under $100 category because, as she put it, she only wears them "once or twice" and then, after the holidays those dresses gradually move toward the back of the closet until they are completely forgotten. I understand why this would be the case with dresses in certain textures that are pretty much worn exclusively during the holidays (velvet, for example, or… uh, dresses with reindeer on them)…
But then I realized this is an issue that reaches well beyond holiday cocktail gear. I have a closet full of clothes but I still wake up a lot of mornings and rue my inability to find something I can wear. The consequence of this is I have clothes I seldom wear and even never wear.
There are dozens of reasons why women would devote coveted closet space to mostly neglected items: weight fluctuation, seasonality, impulse trend pieces that went horribly and irrevocably out of fashion, trousers we love that ride up uncomfortably, skirts we love that we can't sit down in, dresses that we're constantly pulling or flattening or smoothing that just aren't worth the hassle, dressy stuff we have no place to wear, damaged/stained/ripped stuff we've yet to fix or get fixed, too-itchy sweaters… the list could go on forever.
The fact of the matter is that most women with a closet full of clothes have many they may not wear very often. I think this is a common problem so my question is, how much of your closet is devoted to things you don't/can't/seldom wear but keep anyways?
Sorry! This poll is now closed.

Wise foolishness
Faith & Inspiration
It is overwhelming to be a Christian in times like these. We face the catastrophe in Aurora, Colo., the mess in State College, Pa., and the forthcoming presidential race that appears likely to be a bloodbath, an economic downturn, and numerous other crises national and international and personal. And not a single one of these can be ignored. We must respond lest we fail to represent the care and mind of Jesus for His creation, but to respond well seems like a nearly impossible task.
What is more, the message of hope, the foundation of our faith is nonsense to so many. As 1 Corinthians 1:18 says, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those are perishing …" (NKJV). So here we are seeking to wisely and sagely respond to life-shattering crises, yet we are reminded that the very basis of our entire belief system is but foolishness to the majority of those we are seeking to help. How are we to respond?
Well, I can tell you how we are not to respond. Believing in what is labeled "foolishness" by the world is not license to act the fool, and I don't even mean the Westboro Baptist brand of fool (that's something else entirely unbiblical). Sometimes it seems believers assume that since we are promised rejection we may as well act like rejects. So we settle for the foolishness of trite responses, pat answers, and Bible verse Band-Aids. We proffer blunt, hard truth when tenderness is called for, or we pussyfoot around when boldness is needed. Simply because the message of the cross is foolishness to many does not give us an excuse to cease thinking about what we say, when we say it, and who we say it to.
How do we attract people to a message of foolishness? The short answer is "love," bold, clear, timely acts of love. This love expresses itself through reason and balance, an avoidance of acerbic polemics. It is shown in our awareness of context, milieu, and the intimate realities of life around us. To seal it, our love must be exhibited in excessive patience and forbearance. We come into every interaction knowing our base beliefs are foolishness and folly. We should expect the haters and skeptics to come, and when they do we respond with acts of love, with reason and balance, and with keen awareness of their circumstances and beliefs. We respond as thinkers, not reactors.
People need the message of foolishness that we hold so dear. We are called to win them to it by our love in action, love in speech, love in reason, and love in attitude. But even that seems frail in the face of catastrophe and extreme brokenness. And so, above all, we must remember that the foolishness of God, that same foolishness to which we cling, is wiser than the wisdom of men. It is enough, and more.

Well I did it.

Any Ideas?
Well I did it.
Right now, this second, I am stuck at the "Main Menu" with the following error:
Checking ldap on localhost:389...FAILED
Checking ldap on localhost:389...FAILED
Then the menu.
Any Ideas?
The setup script thinks that ldap is configured, but it can't contact it - and it starts it before checking.
So - was this a failed install you're trying to recover? If that's the case, delete the files in /opt/zimbra/openldap-data (but leave the directory) and re-run /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl
If this is an upgrade, can you tell me what you did to get there?
Well, Kind of both. (upgrade and fail); however, It failed the first time too.
All I did was run the prep upgrade script. It went great. Then I ran the m2 script..and I got here. (I'm ssh'ed in), and I selected the text(the error), and hit crtl-c for copy (so I could paste it here....well...it stopped the script...so I ran it again. It found config.save and restored it.
Now, if I delete that file, can I re-configure ldap from the "Main Menu"?
I can telnet on the machine and remotly to port 389 using 127.0.0.1, the actual ip, and the FQDN
I'm wondering if this is related to the ldaps posting that you had.
I followed the instructions located at
with no luck. The installer still will not connect to port 389
Here's what probably happened - the ldap password was saved from the original install, but the subsequent failures have gotten it out of sync.
zmlocalconfig -s | grep ldap - is ldap_password set to zimbra?
If it it - look in /tmp, for several directories called saveconfig - they will have a file called config.save in them - find the one from your original install, with an ldap password OTHER than "zimbra".
If you find that file, use zmlocalconfig to set the ldap password, mysql passwords, etc, and re-run zmsetup.
Heh. I thinks you're right:
[root@(domain here) ~]# su zimbra
[zimbra@t(domain here) root]$ zmlocalconfig -s | grep ldap
ldap_host = (domain here)
ldap_is_master = true
ldap_master_url = ldap://(domain here):389
ldap_port = 389
ldap_root_password = GAbVcK4hoy3fmz5BbDUqf9.Phu
ldap_url = ldap://(domain here):389
zimbra_ldap_password = ARAzswyj_8gC0ZD5GZGWrzE10MZ
zimbra_ldap_userdn = uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra
zimbra_services = ldap mailbox mta antivirus antispam snmp
Now, I changed my config via that other post. Do I need to change it back??
I'm running the gamut of all the problems during this upgrade, even after reading people upgraded with no problems. I'm having the same error.
Checking ldap on localhost:389...FAILED
my password was not set to zimbra, I'll keep trying but getting frustrated.
I know the feeling.
I've tried resetting the pw, and it doesn't fix it. I think it is an issue with syncing though.
I'm gonna try something. It if works (or not) I'll let you know.
(I love testing)
update: Pretty sure I'm gonna loose it all if this doesn't work....

It does not use radiation (x-rays).Single MRI images are called slices. The images can be stored on a computer or printed on film. One exam produces dozens or sometimes hundreds of images.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All How the Test is Performed You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without metal zippers or snaps (such as sweatpants and a t-shirt). Certain types of metal can cause blurry images.You will lie on a narrow table. The table slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner.Some exams require a special dye (contrast). Most of the time, the dye is given before the test through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, but it may take longer. How to Prepare for the Test You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan.Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious. Your health care provider may also suggest an open MRI, in which the machine is not as close to your body.Before the test, tell your provider if you have:Artificial heart valves Brain aneurysm clips Heart defibrillator or pacemaker Inner ear (cochlear) implants Kidney disease or dialysis (you may not be able to receive contrast) Recently placed artificial joints Certain types of vascular stents StentsA stent is a tiny tube placed into an artery, blood vessel, or other hollow structure in your body (such as the tube that carries urine) to hold it o...ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article Worked with sheet metal in the past (you may need tests to check for metal pieces in your eyes) Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner:Items such as jewelry, watches, credit cards, and hearing aids can be damaged. Pens, pocketknives, and eyeglasses may fly across the room. Pins, hairpins, metal zippers, and similar metallic items can distort the images. Removable dental work should be taken out just before the scan. How the Test will Feel An MRI exam causes no pain. You may get medicine to relax you if you have a problem lying still or are very nervous. Moving too much can blur MRI images and cause errors.The table may be hard or cold, but you can ask for a blanket or pillow. The machine makes loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones to help you pass time.There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to help you relax. After an MRI scan, you can go back to your normal diet, activity, and medicines. Why the Test is Performed An abdominal MRI provides detailed pictures of the belly area from many views. It is often used to clarify findings from earlier x-rays or CT scans.CTA computed tomography (CT) scan is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create pictures of cross-sections of the body. Related tests include:Abdomin...ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article This test may be used to look at:Blood flow in the abdomen Blood vessels in the abdomen The cause of abdominal pain or swelling The cause of abnormal blood test results, such as liver or kidney problems Lymph nodes in the abdomen Masses in the liver, kidneys, adrenals, pancreas, or spleen MRI can distinguish tumors from normal tissues. This can help the doctor know more about the tumor such as size, severity, and spread. This is called staging.MRI avoids the dangers of angiography, such as too much radiation exposure and allergic reactions to iodine.

Steve Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors has finally entered a plea to its insider trading charges.
The New York Times reported that Connecticut-based SAC pleaded guilty Monday, and will pay a $1.2 billion fine -- one of the largest insider trading settlements by a large Wall Street firm. The penalty means that SAC would pay the U.S. government a total of nearly $2 billion, which includes a $616 million penalty the firm agreed to in a civil insider trading settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March.
As part of the settlement agreement, SAC was also banned from managing outside capital for five years, although the firm will likely continue to manage Cohen's assets.
The U.S. government scheduled a press conference for Monday afternoon to discuss the deal.
A grand jury charged SAC in July with wire fraud and four counts of securities fraud for allegedly allowing insider trading to go unchecked from 1999 through at least 2010. The SEC also charged Cohen in a civil lawsuit for failing to prevent insider trading at his firm.
SAC had about $14 billion in total assets under management as of July 1.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. � Starting Monday morning, young immigrants in North Carolina will be able to get a driver's license for the first time.
Initially, state transportation officials planned to design the licenses with a bright pink stripe on it. But, after many protests they scrapped the pink stripe.
Now, the licenses will look very similar to standard-issue licenses, except for one part.
Some members of the Latin community believe the phrase "no lawful status" on the new licenses will lead to more discrimination.
"It's not a safety issue, it's just another way to target immigrants," said Elver Barrios, founder of the group United for the Dream.
Young immigrants who are allowed to live in the United States under special privileges will be issued this new license, but the phrase "no lawful status" will be displayed.
The state transportation director said this new program is all about accountability and safety.

I used to live in northern New Mexico and have had to come back to Ohio in what was going to be a temporary move but might have to be longer. I have an Ellsworth Epiphany that is at my old place, but I will end up getting in early spring to ride around here. I see there are lots of trails in the Nelsonville/Athens areas. Anyone have personal reccomendations? Or any good trails closer to Columbus?
Pics of bike in "native" habitat
Not sure how many miles of trails on BLM land, very extreme trails and rarely used, only a 10 minute ride from where I lived.
As an aside, I am leery of having the bike shipped, so I am going to fly out and either rent or buy a cheap car to get back. Any experience with shippers on this? I suppose the most important thing would be to package it well.

When Mamas Go Wild–Mile High Mamas Night Out Revisited!
posted by: Amber Johnson
Many of Colorado's most prominent mommy bloggers gathered at the D Note in Arvada for food, drinks, mingling and live music last Wednesday night. Freebies were in abundance and giveaways came from Random House, a Potty Tots Potty Training Kit (which a few mamas fought over), BornFit, (our favorite activewear for moms that is also locally-based), a gift certificate for Menu of the Week, and the grand prize was a professional teeth whitening from Town Center Dentistry and Orthodontics, a $350 value! I did the drawing and was delighted to select my own name for the grand prize.
It wasn't rigged, promise.
And yes, I did award it to Jen of Laughing at Chaos. Bummer.
In an effort to maximize mingling, I visited everyone's blogs and selected a few gems about each blogger. I then set them loose to try to discover who matched the descriptions. A little insight into the evening and those who attended:
*A relative unknown named Ellen Degeneres helped launch her career. Ask her about it! (Olivia of BabyCandy and Congrats from Colorado)
*Recently entitled a post—Blogs I'm Reading: Photography and Hemorrhoids but NOT Photography of Hemorrhoids. Known to wear flip flops, whatever the season. Claims to be from California but could be part Canuck. (Holly of What Was I Saying Again?)
*Is rumored to have said, "You haven't seen me naked" during a 9News interview. (Lisa, owner of BornFit)
*Is such an optimist that she has coined [photopress:Lori.jpg,full,pp_image]"Perfect Mondays" on her blog. Ask how she got started and if she is aware that Mondays are anything BUT perfect? (Lori of Weebles Wobblog and party organizer extraordinaire)
*Is trying to teach herself HTML code while juggling the life of a zookeeper. Ask her what is code for ANIMALISTIC. (Nini of Delirious Zoo)
*Married to a comedian but with a blog tagline like "Suck on this," she may be their family's front-runner for humor. (Sarah of Imaginary Binky)
*Is a tech-talking mama who recently discovered HerSEO.com and excitedly blogged about it. Huh? (Beckie of Tech Talk for Moms)
*Has a propensity for consuming antibiotics and is the hottest former band geek around. (Jen of Laughing at Chaos)
*Kids range in age from 3 to 17. A toddler and a teenager? Someone give her gold medal. Kids also profess Girl Scout cookies make her happy. Mindy of Single Mom Mindy)
[photopress:Dnote1.jpg,full,pp_image] *Pastimes include vacuuming up Polly Pocket accessories, Yo Gabba Gabba, red wine, Family Guy and laundry for two sets of twins. (Laura of LaLa Girl)
*Generally very well behaved. Just don't ask her about CSAP, the "fun" in fundraising, or about her life as a former mean girl. (Gretchen of LifeNut)
*Has been known to write about needing more kittens in her life and about why her husband will be mortified. (Jenna of Peace It Together)
*Recently worked with Mom Central to promote Disney on Ice. Ask her to demonstrate a double-axle. (Annie-Marie of A Mama's Rant)
*Has a love for knee-high tube socks and has them featured on her blog's header. (Denise of Eat Play Love)
*Has a daughter who was recently accepted to college. Also likes Lemons. (Sarah of Lemony Sarah)
*Her little N-Man is officially enrolled in preschool and already has his first crush. Who could it be? Think: older woman. (Cyndi of Li'l CyndiLu Who)
*Just completed Week One as a Shredhead and is already seeing big results. Ask her to flex. (JoAnn of Casual Perfectionist)
*Recently infected her family with lice. Debatable whether she should be out in public.
The identity of the final clue shall remain anonymous. However if you read this blog with any regularity, you already know the sad, sad answer.
Mile High Mamas is not an exclusive group and we invite any and all Colorado moms who blog to join in the fun. Haven't yet started a blog and want to learn how? Read Blogging 101: A Non-Techie's Guide.

We really should do this again soon! Thanks so much to all the moms who shared their passions and listened to mine.
I'm beginning to highlight those with businesses at http://www.yourhub.com – be sure to look for youself there!

It was a great night and I had fun getting to know everyone. Glad to be a part of it and look forward to the next one!
Btw, my blog is Single Mom Says…

I'm sorry to have missed this one, sounds like it was loads of fun!

I had a great time. Nothing like getting together with people who understand what RSS feeds and Twitter are. I'd also love to get together to share knowledge – maybe a geek retreat where we go somewhere quiet and help each other with our blogs.

It was great fun!
Thanks again for the wonderful opportunity to meet up with such wonderful local mamas!
March 30, 2009
So great seeing everyone again. For those who did not make it, fingers are crossed you will attend the next one!
March 30, 2009
P.S. Anne-Marie–I LOVE the idea of a geek retreat. Wheels are turning….
March 30, 2009
I had a great time! Sadly, I did not stay long enough to trash the place and make out with the old men in the jug band, but so it goes.
I'd love to do the coffee shop thing. My 'hood is full of them. I'll put my thinking cap on and let you know of any ideas…

Sarah–I knew you had a thing for the rockin' old guy with the scruffy beard. 😉
March 30, 2009
I'm so glad I made the trip all the way to Arvada! The D-Note was a blast! I'm jealous of Lori that I don't get to hang out with my kids there on Sunday afternoons. If you haven't been over there, go check it out – it's so much fun checking out Old Town Arvada, and this place has so much character. I probably would have preferred our table to be further than 18 inches from the live band, but the music was great!! And I got good at lip reading! 😀
What a fun group of ladies! I loved seeing so many of you again, and meeting so many of you for the first time! And we should do this more often! I vote for impromptu backyard barbecues, even. Summer is coming, you know!
March 30, 2009
Those guys were a hoot, weren't they? I got there early and offered to hold the door for an old guy carrying an amp – he scoffed at me. Haha!
March 30, 2009
Laura–I think that old guy could have kicked ANY of our butts.
March 30, 2009
And I loooove the idea of a backyard BBQ. Casual, yet fun!
March 30, 2009
I loved meeting all these women who regularly tell great stories.
Thanks, Amber, for being the Head Mama Herder.
Can't wait 'til next time, and I also vote for Anne-Marie's idea.
March 30, 2009
That was lots of fun. Looking forward to the next one.

Clooney's "Confessions" Swoons Audience Attendance, While "Chicago", "The Pianist," "About Schmidt" and "Talk to Her" Open Wider
by Brian Brooks
George Clooney's directorial bow "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" was a bang at the box office in its first full weekend, while "The Pianist" expanded its screens and grosses in its second week and Miramax's "Chicago" jazzed up some big numbers. "About Schmidt" launched into wide release with hefty grosses. And, Almodovar's "Talk to Her" also opened in additional theaters to large audiences along with Denzel Washington's "Antwone Fisher."
Miramax's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," which opened on New Year's Eve, took in $87,199 its first full weekend of release on four screens. The film, a subjective account of the life of "Gong Show" host Chuck Barris, crooned to the tune of $21,800 per screen and a $169,714 total. Roman Polanski's Holocaust drama "The Pianist," a Focus release starring Adrien Brody, added dozens of screens over the weekend, showing in 90 theaters with a $744,588 take for a grand $8,273 per-screen average and new cume just over the $1 million mark.
Rob Marshall's critically heralded musical "Chicago" staged a dizzying $16,332 average on an expanded 304 screens grossing just under $5 million over the weekend for a new total just over $9.2 million. New Line's Golden Globe-nominated "About Schmidt," starring Jack Nicholson, added more than 700 screens taking in over $8.5 million in 816 theaters for a strong $10,457 average and a total just over $12 million in its fourth weekend. Fox's "Antwone Fisher" meanwhile made a little under $1.4 million on 192 screens during its third weekend in theaters giving the Denzel Washington directorial debut a healthy $7,582 per-screen average and a total over $6.1 million.
Sony Pictures Classics' "Talk to Her" continued to cash in bueno numbers with the film by Spanish director Pedro Almodovar adding four screens and making $577,137 in its seventh weekend for a per-screen of $9,161 and a total just over $2.3 million. Meanwhile, Sony Classics' "Love Liza" by Todd Louiso made $15,522 its second weekend on four screens for a more modest $3,880 average and a $36,462 cume.
United Artists' "Nicholas Nickleby" by Douglas McGrath had a $136,185 showing on 32 screens in its second weekend. The film, adapted from the Charles Dickens novel, had a $4,255 per-screen take and a new $228,518 total. Cowboy Pictures' "Movern Collar" by Lynne Ramsay took in $7,810 on one screen for a three-week total of $56,314. Wellspring's "Russian Ark" took in $34,244 on four screens for a celestial per-screen $8,561 and a new cume of $189,588.
U.A.'s "Evelyn" passed the $1 million mark taking in $151,268 on 125 screens in its fourth weekend ($1,210 average) while Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" roared over the $16 million total with a $412,371 weekend gross on 198 screens for a $2,082 average on the film's 13th weekend of release.
Other films pushing the box-office stratosphere include Todd Haynes' Focus Features hit "Far From Heaven," which galloped to a new total of $11.2 million on 253 screens on a $565,088 weekend ($2,233 screen average). Miramax's Phillip Noyce feature "Rabbit-Proof Fence" flirted with a $1.7 million total taking in $365,298 on 86 screens for a $4,248 average while Samuel Goldwyn's "El Crimen del Padre Amaro" surged passed the $4.5 million mark with a $167,951 gross on 89 screens for a per screen of $1,887. Sony Classics' Paul Schrader feature on TV star Bob Crane, "Auto Focus" slid over the $2 million cume in its 12th week, grossing $15,636 over the weekend in 19 theaters for a per screen of $1,303.

Shia LaBeouf Admits To Fling With Megan Fox
By Mack Rawden 5 years ago
Transformers star Shia LaBeouf recently sat down for an exhaustive Details Magazine interview and profile in which he admitted, among other things, that he bedded Megan Fox. The whens, wheres, whys and hows were absent from his account, but when asked whether Fox was with her current husband Brian Austin Green at the time, he admitted he wasnt sure. Ill be the first to say the bigger shame on in situations like that always falls upon the person in a relationship, but it is highly dubious for the other party to trumpet his conquest to a reporter when hes unsure of the larger implications. A little discretion is just good manners and common sense.
Let me just reiterate the crux of this story to make sure were all on the same page. Shia LaBeouf, the annoying little shit on Even Stevens, grew up and had a casual fling with this woman. Even in Hollywood where so much of a mans sex appeal relies upon fame and power, that is still astounding. What kind of odds could you have gotten on that in Vegas?
Not surprisingly, Fox is yet to respond to these allegations. Shell be asked about it at some point, but I doubt she gives more than an incessant string of no comments. Theres little positive to her giving this affair more press, unless of course, she wants to make it clear she was not with her husband at the time.
God only knows how many on-set lost weekends happen over a typical year in Hollywood, but something tells me if we knew about all of them, this one would hardly register a raised eyebrow.

Shas, Naftali Bennett's party likely to lock horns next term over control of State Conversion Authority, Religious Affairs Ministry
Moran Azulay
Published: 01.16.13, 23:14 / Israel News
Moran Azulay
Since 2003, the Religious Affairs minister has been a Shas MK, which meant that Shas has been the de facto authority on all matters regarding the conversion
Related stories:
Ayelet Shaked
of Habayit Hayehudi told Ynet Wednesday that her party regards issues of conversion to Judaism
as a high priority and confirmed a Kipa website report suggesting that religious-Zionist party was eying the Religious Affairs Ministry.
According to Shaked, the party intends to promote the rights of the irreligious.
Referring to a meeting she had last week with olim from the former USSR, Shaked said she addressed an "Yisrael Beiteinu
initiative regarding domestic partnership. I told MK Dudu Rotem that I was behind the initiative."
The issue of conversion has been the subject of heated parliamentary debate, recent manifestations of which culminated in Shas' campaign ad which ridiculed
the conversion process of a Russian immigrant during her wedding ceremony.
The ad was criticized as offensive and racist and was eventually willingly removed by Shas after Central Election Committee Chairman Justice Elyakim Rubinstein
stated that "There may be a sense of generalizing offense."
Commenting on the issue, a Shas member told Ynet Wednesday that "The true nature of Habayit Hayehudi has been exposed. It's not maintaining the Jewish character of the State that is their highest priority, but rather blurring the (Jewish) identity under the guise of generosity. Only a strong Shas will prevent that."

With the rollback of the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) in Delhi University (DU), students seeking admission to its undergraduate courses can expect a slew of changes from a reduction in seats of popular courses to re-introduction of Programme and vocational courses. The admission process is also set to become complicated with colleges listing additional eligibility criteria for its undergraduate programme.
At St Stephens College, the number of seats for Economics is set to come down to 50 from 100.
Following the introduction of FYUP last year, seats in popular courses such as English, Economics and Mathematics had seen a jump. While some colleges had adjusted the Programme course seats in the Honours courses, others had started offering these popular courses last year.
Having announced the cut-offs for its Honours courses a few days ago, St Stephens College had come out with a provisional list of selected students. Owing to the changes in admission policy following the FYUP row, the college has been forced to exclude students provisionally selected in Economics (H) and English (H) due to reduction in its sanctioned strength.
While the sanctioned seats, under FYUP, was 100 for Economics (H), for English (H) it was 60. In 2012, the intake for these courses were 50 and 30 respectively.
In strict compliance with university guidelines, St Stephens College is now putting up a truncated list of selected candidates in accordance with the sanctioned strength in 2012. Consequently, 50 applicants who had qualified for provisional admission (in Economics Honours) will now stand excluded and 30 candidates who would have been in the English Honours list will be left out, principal Valson Thampu said.
Meanwhile, students who had opted for vocational subjects in Class XII might be at a loss with colleges applying their own additional eligibility criteria for undergraduate admissions. The university administration, earlier this year, had decided to do away with colleges imposing additional eligibility criteria.
Students opting for Mathematics (H) at Hansraj College should have scored 90 per cent in the subject in Class XII. For Economics (H) at Hansraj, the applicant should have scored 75 per cent in Mathematics while History (H) aspirants at the college are required to have scored 75 per cent marks in English.
At Ramjas College, students having subjects such as Fashion Studies, Physical Education, Entrepreneurship, Mass Media Studies and Media Production among others will not be able to include these marks while calculating the best of four.

During its weekly review of plays,' the NFL and the Elias Sports Bureau determined that a second-quarter play originally ruled a sack was a designed run by Tebow.
The play in Sunday's game came with 41 seconds left in the first half. Tebow took a shotgun snap and ran a draw play. He was tackled for a loss by Kendall Langford and fumbled. The stats crew at the stadium ruled a sack because it was viewed as a pass play.
With Tebow leading the charge, the Broncos rallied for an 18-15 overtime win.
Occasionally, the NFL makes statistical changes after reviewing game tapes.

Peace of mindTwo of the most important steps in breast healthcare are self-exams and mammography. While mammography remains the primary method of early detection, there are times when a mammogram is inconclusive and further testing is needed. A new imaging technique—breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI), also known as gammagram—is a unique tool that can help your doctor more accurately determine if an area of concern is cancerous or not.
After a mammogram and ultrasound
BSGI is best used as a valuable "next step" following a mammogram and ultrasound that reveals an area of concern. A mammogram is an X-ray study of the breast used to image tissue structure and density. If you are scheduled for additional testing, your mammogram may have been difficult to interpret due to some specific characteristics of your breast tissue. For example, dense breast tissue is displayed on a mammogram as thick white areas. Abnormalities in breast tissue are displayed as white or light areas. Because the two often display as the same density and structure, it may be difficult to locate masses. Gamma imaging provides the needed capability of helping differentiate cancer from other structures or benign tissue in the breast.

text: This is my second year in a row doing The Nation's Triathlon. Pre-race was a huge improvement this year because they didn't require attendance at a course briefing (which last year created an awful bottleneck in the lines). The transition area is mind-bogglingly huge, and because it is in downtown DC I was grateful that my parents helped me take my bike down to rack it, and drove me to the race. On race morning it was pouring rain. I've done four races this season and three of them (Columbia, IronGirl, and Nation's) had pouring rain before or during the race. I prefer wet to hot, though, so even with the transition area a total mudpit and the slick roads, I wasn't too upset. Swim: 28:52I haven't done very many triathlons so I might not be the best judge, but this start was super crowded. I know Ironman races have mass starts that are probably way worse, but I like to start right at the front towards the left (as close to the buoys as possible). That way, I avoid getting kicked in the face and if I can swim fast enough, don't get swam over, either. This time I couldn't get any closer to the front than three people deep. I was surrounded on all sides. It was a good thing we were all wearing wetsuits and didn't have to tread water or we all would have ended up bruised! I had a hard time starting and swam with my head completely up out of the water to keep from getting kicked for about 50m. Once I got underway I found the swim to be crowded, but overall very smooth. The buoys were awesome! Each 100m there was a huge buoy clearly marked with the distance. Loved that. My bike time was a couple of minutes faster than last year so I consider that a success.T1: 4:54The run from the swim exit to the transition area was... very very long. It was lined with people cheering you on, but I found it to be a total drag. I don't like running with a wetsuit on! Once I made it to my mudpit... er... bike rack my transition went fine. My recent purchase of tri-specific bike shoes has seriously improved my transition times. I still wear socks, though, and I took the time to wring out my soaking wet socks before I put them on.Bike: 1:15:56I borrowed some amber glasses for the bike ride since it was overcast and rainy, but I wish I had just skipped the shades altogether as I could barely see the entire time on the bike and had to keep wiping off the water. The course is pretty flat and fast but since it was very wet and had quite a few pot holes I took it easy. There are so many athletes that the course is very crowded and sometimes it is hard to pass. Corners (of which there seemed to be many) are especially crowded, and were especially slow because of the weather. My biggest problem is that I am not confident enough on the bike to take in enough fluids. I brought 2 water bottles and barely made a dent in one of them. This is no problem for a sprint, and even okay for an olympic, but if I ever want to go for a longer distance, or if I ever think I could be competitive, I have got to figure out how to drink on the bike. My cycling is generally not as strong as it was last summer when I was training very heavily for a Tour de France trip, but even taking the course pretty easy my bike time was only 2 minutes slower than last year. I'll take it! T2: 2:24Not much to report here. I spent a few seconds trying to chug water to make up for my lack of drinking on the bike. The run out of transition was also very long, but I think this was actually considered as part of the run. Run: 56:09The run is always my worst leg of the three. This season I have been trying to improve on my running. It has helped, albeit not very much. I still can't get down to the pace where I would like to be, and think I should be able to realistically achieve. I also realized at this race that it won't matter how much I improve my running unless I improve my running AFTER riding my bike. I started the run and, just like in other races, immediately felt that there was no way I could finish the race. As I exited the transition area, though, they had a banner that said "FIND STRENGTH" and it was just the message I needed. I knew I could do the run, so I just kept plugging along. They had aid stations at each mile. I would convince myself that I could run just one mile, then walk through the aid station and drink a cup of water. My run time was about 30 seconds faster than last year. Again, I'll take it. My general take this year on the race is that it's a great event, a fun/fast course, and well organized, but because it is so huge and so hard to get to and from I don't think I'll do it again next year. Who knows, though, I really do like this event.I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a fall race for next year.

I've been here for about a month, and finally got my bike down here. I'm on Dairy Ashford, just north of Westheimer. I have a bike rack, so it is a possibility for me to load up the bike and drive to where the good riding is. I know the best way to get to know an area is to meet up with the local bike clubs, but unfortunately I have an odd schedule. Most bike clubs have no interest in meeting between 9AM and 4PM, M-F.
Here's my big questions:
Apparently, the Terry Hershey Trail is a popular one, but I don't want to dodge kids and my roadie doesn't appreciate the idea of dirt trails.
Obviously, riding Westheimer is out of the question.
What I really prefer is well-paved, straight roads with polite/thin traffic, usually out in the country.
It looks like I'm pretty close to the George Bush park, and that has a paved route, but doesn't look terribly long.
So, to summarize (start reading here if you got bored earlier):
Should I take Briar Forest to the park, and then try to find my way to Barker-Cypress? Any bad neigborhoods up that direction?
Should I hop in the car and drive out to Katy? It looks calmer out there, but I know that area even less than I do the area where I am.
Thanks in advance. My wife would KILL me if I got hit

The need for children in Mexico to work is a very common circumstance. Twenty-nine percent of school-aged children in Mexico are members of the labor force. The necessity for a child to work varies between families. Birth order as well as the number of children in a family greatly influence on whether or not a child will work. Gender is also a factor in whether a child will participate in the work force. Of 15-19 year olds, 52.2% of males and 23.9% of females are in the labor force.
Working children significantly impact the economic welfare of their families. Generally, children in the labor force are in the lowest socioeconomic class. Working children usually have parents with fewer years of education. Parents of children in the labor force also desire less schooling for their children than parents of non-working children.
The type of work that children in Mexico do depends on whether they work for relatives or non-relatives. Girls who are employed by their parents often work as merchant's assistants. While, boys who work for their parents often are laborer's assistants. These children usually work about seventeen hours per week. A boy usually earns twice as much as a girl, and will contribute twelve percent of the household income, while a girl will contribute about five percent of the total income. Children who do not work for their own parents usually work as gardeners if they are boys and maids if they are girls. These children tend to work 23-28 hours per week. These boys contribute 48% of the household income while the girls contribute 27% of the household income.
The hours that Mexican children spend working could hurt a child's future because they take away from the hours for leisure and education. In most other countries moderate labor hours can improve future employment opportunities performance for minors. However, in Mexico, children's labor force activities are not likely to enhance future labor because they only require minimal training. Children in the labor force receive substantially lower grades than children who do not work. Plus, the working child is academically disadvantaged compared with non-working children. The working child does not usually have the benefits of receiving the highest education possible.

DALLAS (SMU/bd Global) - The SMU men's basketball team will take on rival TCU in one of three games to be played at the Tip-Off Showcase at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The other two games of the Nov. 8 triple-header are Oklahoma vs. Alabama, and Baylor vs. Colorado.
Metroplex bragging rights will be on the line when the annual SMU-TCU rivalry moves to American Airlines Center. SMU enters its second season under Hall of Fame Head Coach Larry Brown. The 2013-14 Mustangs return all five starters, while adding the No. 14 ranked recruiting class and three transfers who sat out last season. SMU will also open the renovated and expanded Moody Coliseum during the season, which is its first in the American Athletic Conference. The Mustangs went 15-17 last year with Cannen Cunningham, Jalen Jones, Ryan Manuel, Nick Russell, and Shawn Williams starting the entire season. They are joined by transfers Nic Moore (from Illinois State), Markus Kennedy (from Villanova) and Crandall Head (from Illinois). The recruiting class that is ranked as high as No. 14 includes McDonald's All-American Keith Frazier, the nation's top junior college prospect in Yanick Moreira, and a pair of Illinois' Mr. Basketball finalists from the Chicago area in Sterling Brown and Ben Moore.
"Everybody wants to end here, but only a few will start here, and it would be special to do both," associate head coach Tim Jankovich said. ""It's been a great year for us recruiting-wise and we have all five starters back. We have added eight new pieces and are headed to a new league. We have big challenges ahead of us but are really excited about it. It's such a benefit for recruiting to play in an event like this."
Tickets ranging from $29 - $199 (courtside seating) are on sale now.
The event is managed by bd Global, LLC, a Lexington, Ky.-based sports marketing firm that is also running college basketball events in Las Vegas, Houston and Southwest Florida for the 2013-14 season. This marks the third time the group has played a college basketball event at the AAC in the past four years.
Complete event information can be found at www.TipOffShowcase.com. For group sales parties should contact bd Global at 859-951-6141.
"Launching a true college basketball tip-off event is not only exciting but an idea that is long overdue," said Brooks Downing, president of bd Global (www.bdglobalsports.com), the event promoter. "We are excited to open up the new season with three great games featuring tremendous regional programs and national talent. I think this is going to be a special day in Dallas for basketball fans."

The 2012 IBM Smarter Commerce Global Summit - Orlando, which takes place this year on September 5 - 7 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, is just around the corner. We can feel the excitement building, so in the spirit of continuing that momentum, we thought we'd rattle off a few of the Business Partner-centric happenings that we're most looking forward to at the Smarter Commerce Global Summit - Orlando. Here are our top five:

#5 - Free Certification Testing
Free Professional and Mastery Certification examinations will be offered to IBM Business Partners attending the conference. If you're interested in achieving Software Value Incentive (SVI) certification to earn additional rewards or to becoming Sofware Value Plus-authorized to resell Smarter Commerce products, this is a great opportunity to sit for required exams within the Authorized Portfolio. The first exam is free, and additional exams will be available at discounted rates. Testing will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis within the open hours of the Certification Testing Center. Check out this flyer for the Fee Schedule, Testing Center hours, and more details.

#4 - The Business Partner Cafe
The Business Partner Cafe is a breakout area just for IBM Business Partners. Located right off the Smarter Commerce Showcase, it will house informal meeting spaces where you can connect with your IBM team to build future plans or conduct one-on-one meetings with clients. There will also be IBM Business Partner program experts standing by in the Cafe to discuss technical enablement, benefits, the recent announcements on co-marketing changes, sales and lead generation tools and more. If you have any questions related to your relationship with IBM that you need answered, this is the place to go. See the Business Partner Preview Guide for a detailed list of the experts that will at the Cafe, as well as Cafe hours.

#3 - The Social Media Lounge

The social media lounge is going to be a fun breakout area where you can meet and network with social media experts, watch live interviews, participate in live Twitter chats, or just take a break. This will be a great place to recharge your wireless devices and get off your feet for a moment (don't miss the comfortable seating!), but make sure you also take advantage of the experts that will be on hand. If you want to learn more about how you can leverage social media in your marketing efforts, or even if you just want get a better understanding of everything social at the Smarter Commerce Global Summit, they can answer all of your questions.

#2 - The Business Partner Forum

Ok, maybe we're a bit biased, but we have to give the Business Partner Forum a spot in our top five. The Business Partner Forum, which takes place on Wednesday, September 5, starts off at 11:45 a.m. in Pacific A & B, with the General Session. During the General Session, IBM executives will walk you through the lessons learned in the rapid movement of the Smarter Commerce initiative from infancy to maturity. Some of your colleagues will share their success stories, and you'll also get the latest Smarter Commerce channel and product updates. Following the lunch at 2:15 p.m., there will also be two concurrent breakout sessions; one focused on competitive insights, adjacent market opportunities and sales enablement (Southern 3), and an ISV leadership session (Oceanic 2). Make sure you add these into your SmartSite agenda!

#1 - Business Partner Reception

This grabs the number one spot because, well, who doesn't enjoy a good party? Enjoy some food and drinks with your fellow IBM Business Partners on Tuesday, September 4 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Cabana Bar.

What are you most looking forward to at the Smarter Commerce Global Summit - Orlando?

Love architecture? From modernist homes to Native American ruins, you'll find myriad structures of architectural interest to visit in Arizona.
Ancient Architecture: Ancient Native American architecture can be seen at sites like Besh-Ba-Gowah Archaeological Park, Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Tuzigoot and others across Arizona.
Spanish Colonial Architecture: In Southern Arizona, the Spanish Colonial style was mixed with indigenous design at the Mission San Xavier del Bac, as well as the Owls Club and Steinfeld Houses in Tucson. Meanwhile, Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, who designed both buildings and interiors for the Fred Harvey Company, influenced the Northern Arizona landscape.
Desert-Modern Architecture: Arizona's most famous architect is inarguably Frank Lloyd Wright, who built his summer home and architectural school in the desert near Scottsdale in 1937. Known as Taliesin West, the winter camp still showcases Wright's architectural theories with public tours and events – as well as stunning architecture of its own. Other Wright-designed buildings are scattered across Arizona, including Gammage Auditorium at Arizona State University in Tempe.
Arizona Architectural Attractions
Architect Merritt Hudson Starkweather designed this resort for Arizona's first U.S. Congresswoman, Isabella Greenway. Built in 1930, the Inn is still owned and operated by its founding family and continues to fulfill its original mission as a sop

DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun is a legendary landmark of Southwestern art and architecture created by the late Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia. On the National Register of Historic Places, the 10-acre gallery grounds showcase DeGrazia originals, the Mission
Built from 1887-1929, the ranch features a variety of styles. The architect for the packing shed and north wing of the main house was James M. Creighton. The guest house was designed by Chicago architect, J.L. Silsbee.
Widely considered the finest example of Spanish Colonial architecture in the United States, San Xavier is used daily by the Tohono O'odham Indians who live and worship in this district.
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) complements the existing Scottsdale Center for the Arts designed by Bennie Gonzales in 1975. Architect Will Bruder achieved the successful adaption of five movie theaters for 18,500 square feet of versa
El Tovar is perhaps the most distinguished accommodation offered within Grand Canyon National Park. Located 20 feet from the South Rim, this rustic lodge with a large porch offers thrilling views of the canyon and wonderful people-watching opportunitie
Prescott residents raised the money to build the four-story hotel to attract Phoenix tourists who wanted to escape the summer heat. It was designed by one of the Southwest's most distinguished architects, Henry Trost, and opened in 1927.
Constructed between 1928-1930, La Posada was Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter's favorite design; completed it when she was 60 years old. The 75-room luxury hotel opened May 15, 1930 as the last of the Fred Harvey Company hotels built by the Santa Fe Ra
To view the rock art, visitors can drive to the rim of the canyon and take a short hike to the bottom, or use the observation deck on the rim. Visitors can also stay at the ranch, which is an Old West setting, and enjoy steak fry and cowboy music.
Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Gammage Auditorium was built between 1962 to 1964 following Wright's death in 1959. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The Cosanti Foundation was established by Soleri and his late wife, Colly, as an unique experimental complex that allowed Soleri to explore his architectural theories. It is the site of Soleri's first studio and home.
The wedding cake shaped home was designed and built by Alessio Carraro who created it as a centerpiece hotel to attract home buyers to his new development.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West
Tours take visitors through Wright's living quarters, to the theater, his office and other buildings. Specialty tours are offered including tours of the desert shelters built by Taliesin Fellowship apprentices.
The 1916 mansion built by mining mogul James "Rawhide Jimmy" Douglas tops a hill overlooking his Little Daisy Mine.
Riordan Mansion State Historic Park
Architect Charles E. Whittlesey designed this elaborate duplex mansion for the Riordan brothers, their wives and children. The 40-room home was built in 1904 and is among the best examples of Craftsman-style architecture in the state.
