New Yorkers may be famous for their strong opinions and argumentative nature, but there’s one thing most of them agree on: they wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else. Contrary to that hilarious Onion article that made the Internet rounds | this summer, a new survey shows that most of the city’s residents are happy with their hometown.
As reported by the New York Times’ City Room blog, 84 percent of New Yorkers who were surveyed said they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the city as a place to live, while only 4 percent said they were not at all satisfied.
What’s the happiest borough? Staten Island, with 95 percent of its residents claiming to be “happy” or “very happy.” | [

‘No plan survives contact with the enemy.’
Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke the Elder (1800-1891)
The bloody Battle of the Somme, which commenced on July 1, 1916, has continued to fascinate me. My English father, Sgt. Reginald George Bareham, was one of 19,240 British soldiers – nearly 20 percent of the entire British fighting force – who were killed that day on the French countryside in one of the pre-eminent battles of World War I.
I was born a week later, on July 8.
That lifetime interest in this pivotal battle has been reawakened recently by a definitive study, Three Armies on the Somme, by British historian William Philpott, which describes the planning among the allies, Britain, France and Russia, that commenced more than six months before the battle and the bickering at the highest political level and within the high commands of France and Britain who were to conduct the attack on the western front while Russia was expected to attack on Germany’s eastern front, thus deterring any attempt by Germany to reinforce its western armies.
From those small details | of a vast campaign comes much of the richness of Philpott’s story, and it provides much insight into the background and the history of the battle that took my father’s life.

Rewriting the Maternal Archetype
What if the goddess Athena, who sprang fully grown from Zeus's head and denied she had a mother, became aware of the compelling existence of her other parent? What if she discovered that her mother, Metis -- first wife of Zeus and "wiser than all gods and | mortal men," according to Hesiod -- was swallowed by her father and continued to impart her wisdom to him from inside his belly? Recent Spanish novels by women parallel this hypothetical situation based on Greek myth by featuring female protagonists who obsessively reexamine the lives of their mothers, seeking to know and understand them.
In Mother and Myth in Spanish Novels, Sandra J. Schumm examines six narratives by Spanish authors published since 2000 that focus on a daughter's search to know more about her matriarchal heritage. Carm | [

Can a doctor or pharmacy be paid to make a prescription refill reminder without a prior authorization under the HIPAA Privacy Rule?
Yes. It is not marketing for a doctor to make a prescription refill reminder even if a third party pays for the communication. The prescription refill reminder is considered treatment.

I loved going to the roller rink as a kid in the '50s during the winter and zipping around on my 'clamp-on' steel skates with the skate 'key' on a string around my neck during the summer. Apparently most of America was facinated with roller skating, taking it to an art form in the 40s-50s.

- When Ko Mynt fled poverty in Myanmar for a job in neighbouring Thailand, the thought of labouring long hours in a shrimp peeling shed was far from his mind. So was this seaside town south of Bangkok. The 29-year-old had set his sights on employment in a garments factory.
Yet the route towards the job he had dreamt of was beyond his control – even though he had paid 500 dollars to a network of brokers operating along the Thai-Myanmar border.

“I have no choice because I am in debt to the broker, who promised me a good job at a garments factory but | then brought me here,” Ko says after days of hesitation before speaking. “The brokers control our salary, our life, everything.”

Battling a shortage of skaters and points through the first three games of the season, conditions will only get marginally better for the Devils heading into Wednesday night's game at Buffalo.
Adam Mair, a former Sabres forward, has been signed and will raise the number of skaters to 16 after the team dressed just 15 skaters in Monday's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Mair impressed the team during training camp, which he attended on a tryout basis, and earned a spot on the roster when P.L. Letourneau-Leblond cleared waivers today and signed with the Devils' AHL affiliate in Albany.

McDonald's opens vegetarian-only restaurant

With budget cuts looming, space station plans proceeding, and debris from the Challenger washing up on Florida beaches, you’d think NASA officials would have plenty to worry about—but apparently not. The great substantive issue that’s been consuming the agency isn’t manned versus unmanned missions or the exploration of the Moon versus Mars. It’s Windows versus Macintosh.
The question at the center of the controversy—whether Houston’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) should replace 3,200 Macintosh computers with workstations running Windows ’95—has been hotly debated since June 1995, when a committee led by the JSC’s chief information officer, John Garman, proposed a Windows-only policy as a way of slashing $60 million from NASA’s budget over five years. “We believe that a single, standard operating system for office automation systems is the most cost-effective approach for this center,” Garman told MacWeek. But two hundred Mac users—many in the JSC’s engineering divisions, where Macs outnumber other computers by three to one—countered that Macs are cheaper to maintain and better suited to performing such critical | tasks as flight-data processing and tracking the hardware used in shuttle orbiters. The no-Mac plan, they said, also failed to take into account the cost of retraining JSC staffers and converting files. Beginning in August 1995 the Mac users asked JSC officials to document the supposed savings—and they couldn’t.
In the past year and a half the Mac users have gone public with their case—though they’ve done so anonymously, fearing for their jobs. Billing themselves as Concerned Taxpayers, Johnson Space Center, they’ve | [

Reggie Hearn has been the lone bright spot for a snakebitten Northwestern program this year. - USA TODAY Sports
The Badgers aren't flying under the radar anymore. They must avoid any missteps against Big Ten also-rans to keep their conference title hopes alive. Northwestern blogger Rodger Sherman joined us to explain UW's next challenge.
With an eye on Wisconsin's manageable closing schedule, talk of remote title-winning scenarios is heating up around Madison. After toughing out three consecutive overtime games, the No. 19 Badgers (18-8, 9-4 Big Ten) responded with a masterpiece against Ohio State last Sunday to creep back into Ken Pomeroy's top ten for the first time since the Marquette game.
All of this adds up to Wisconsin playing the unfamiliar role of Goliath. The Badgers have largely flown under the radar this season, as they've navigated through tremendous ups and downs. Now the danger of looking ahead to a rematch with Michigan State looms large. Four of UW's last five opponents happen to be the four worst teams in the league. The first test is in Evanston versus Northwestern on Wednesday night.
The Wildcats (13-13, 4-9) have struggled in Big Ten play, losing | five of their last six. But who can blame them? They're playing with only half the team they thought they'd have when the season began. This is the same Northwestern program that has never received an NCAA tournament bid.

Evidence that the'smart money' crowd is betting on a rebound rally.
Stocks launched higher on Thursday, clearing significant technical resistance and breaking the sideways amble that has characterized trading over the last few days. It appears the balance of power is beginning to shift back towards the bulls: The S&P 500 gained 3.4% while the Russell 2000 added 4.3%.
And the standard measure of fear, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), continued to melt lower -- losing another 13.6% to cap a five-day loss of nearly 34%. This is the fastest and hardest drop for the VIX seen since late 2008 as the doom and gloom that has pervaded the scene over the last few weeks has started to clear.
From a sentiment perspective, a rebound rally was due. To prepare for what seemed to be an economic disaster scenario, amateur options traders were frantically | bidding up equity put options over the past few days. This is the kind of behavior that is frequently seen at market lows. But all the while, Wall Street pros were quietly turning bullish.

Each year the YWCA shelter houses hundreds of women and children. The YWCA provides safe/confidential housing, basic needs, advocacy, crisis and supportive counseling, domestic violence education, parenting, support groups, agency referrals, and a children’s program.
(316) 267-SAFE (7233)
The YWCA Women's Crisis Center was founded in 1976 as the result of a study conducted in Wichita by a task force of women who recognized the need for such a facility. Several of the women were from the Commission on the Status of Women while others represented the community at large.
This task force documented the need for residential | shelter for battered and destitute women. After extensive research, they wrote the background proposal for the Center, called the Wichita Women's Center. The proposal was unanimously approved by the Commission on the Status of Women and then presented to the City and other appropriate agencies.
Although incorporation was considered, it was decided that an already established agency needed to sponsor the project. The YWCA agreed to serve in this capacity, | [

Did you know this man could cook? I'm sure most of you remember him as the belligerent ghost who tried to kick Patrick Swayze off the train in Ghost, but Schiavelli was also a gourmand and a writer who chronicled his childhood spent hanging around his Sicilian family in Brooklyn. I used to work at the company that publishes his books and one day I ran into him as he walked down the hallway to his editor's office. He was very tall and elegantly dressed, wearing a fedora. His familiar face caught me off-guard and I did a double-take before rounding the corner to the photocopying machine. I smiled to myself as I heard a familiar refrain echoing in my head, "Get off of my train!".
Schiavelli used to prepare regular dinners at the now-shuttered Alto Palato restaurant in West Hollywood. One of his pasta dishes bore a resemblance to the Sicilian classic, Pasta chi Sard (which, in Sic | ilian dialect, means Pasta with Sardines), but he cleverly renamed his dish Pasta chi Sardi a Mari (Pasta with Sardines Still in the Sea).

Here's an interesting philosophical question: Are you more inclined to care about animals that are cute than ones that are ugly? Probably, according to this story in the Montreal Gazette:
For endangered species, it pays to be a large mammal with sad eyes that cuddles its babies. Glamorous animals, big predators and, above all, the extremely cute and fuzzy stand a chance of getting people to protect them and their habitats. Ugly animals - as judged by human eyes - are far more likely to be left aside when humans draw up conservation plans. Anyone care to save Ontario's rattles | nakes? Canadian ecology experts say such thinking means we're in danger of re-shaping nature to beautify it according to human notions of what's pretty, saving the mammals but letting the reptiles and amphibians disappear | [

Economic analysts on the right and left continue to openly suggest that we may not have hit bottom yet. If you want hope, don't talk to an economist, ask a novelist. Fiction writers tend to have a more optimistic view: once they've thrust characters into a financial abyss, they are forced to script a path out of it. What have our finest authors found to redeem us from this depression?Speculative fiction often refrains from defining the terms of an economic collapse, but it's always forced to either solve the problem or make things considerably worse in the end.

BELMONT RESIDENT SENTENCED TO 36 MONTHS IMPRISONMENT FOR ILLEGALLY EXPORTING ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS USED IN MILITARY RADAR, ELECTRONIC WARFARE, AND MISSILE SYSTEMS
BOSTON, Mass. - The manager of a Massachusetts electronics company was sentenced today to 36 months imprisonment for conspiring over a period of 10 years to export military electronics components and sensitive electronics used in military systems to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Waltham, Mass., company she managed CHITRON ELECTRONICS, INC. (CHITRON-US) was fined $15.5 million stemming from their convictions last year. Several Chinese military entities were among those to whom the defendants exported the equipment.
In May 2010, YUFENG WEI, 46, of Belmont, Mass., was convicted of illegally exporting U.S. Munitions List parts and export restricted sensitive technology to the PRC over a period of 10 years, illegally exporting electronics to the PRC (between 2004 and 2007), and conspiring to file, and filing, | false shipping documents with the U.S. Department of Commerce (2005-2007).

Defining religion is a tricky thing. Some would say that religion is tasked with discovering the knowledge of God. Unfortunately, the bad news: ‘true’ knowledge of… [insert god here] can never be achieved. “We see through a glass darkly.” At best, the task of religion is perpetually unfinished. Anything I venture to say about God (including this current writing) fails to express the who or what. Is God everything and nothing at the same time? Is any speaking of God misspeaking? “All have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God.” Humbly, I must come to terms with the truth that the “god” that I love is an idol and always will be. To say that *I know* the truth of God, no matter what the source of this supposed knowledge, is to claim that *I think, therefore I am (God).* “All my [thoughts about God] are like dirty rags.” Religion, boastfully speaking of God through the | declaration of propositions (omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence), is *by definition* idolatry.

Religion Column for the Week of May 17-23: Remembering the Names

During his visit to the Holy Land last week, Pope Benedict XVI worked diligently to show balance and understanding to both the Muslims and the Jews who live there. Benedict visited a Muslim nation, Jordan, and a Jewish one, Israel, as well as the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel; he prayed at both Muslim and Jewish holy sites and sacred buildings; he spoke alongside both Israeli and Palestinian political leaders, and supported both Palestinian desires for a nation of their own and Israeli desires for security.
But the Pope's speech at Yad Va-Shem, the Israeli Holocaust memorial, became a significant misstep in Israeli eyes. Israeli media and politicians criticized him for saying that the six million Jews systematically eliminated by | the Nazis were "killed" rather than "murdered," making it sound as if their deaths were accidental.

All materials | used are top quality aerospace grade. Only the highest grade Pro-Set epoxy is used and any carbon or fiberglass used is Aerospace grade, not commercial as you would normally get online.

Police: Two arrested in city heroin bust
Staff Report | March 22,2013
A drug raid at an East Street home in Rutland netted about $20,000 worth of heroin and led to the arrest of two individuals who will answer to trafficking and heroin sales in Rutland criminal court today.
A team of federal state and Rutland City police officer arrested Isaiah Hakin Bilal, 19, of Bronx, N.Y., and Nicole D. Smith, 39 of Rutland, during a search of 54 East St. on Thursday.
City police say information received during a drug interdiction operation in the neighborhood led law enforcement officers to the home where 53.2 grams of heroin - the equivalent of 1,678 bags of the drug - an unspecified amount of marijuana and $5,700 in cash were seized.
Police say Bilal was charged with heroin trafficking and sale of heroin | in relation to drug selling that allegedly took place from the address. He was jailed on $500,000 bail.

Godsend (PG-13) is about a couple whose 8-year-old son Adam is killed in an auto accident. An avuncular scientist, played by Robert De Niro, tells the grieving parents (Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) that he and his research institute, Godsend, Inc., can bring their son back to life by cloning him.
The couple goes through the process, Mom gets pregnant with the genetic carbon copy, and she gives birth to another Adam. He is just the same until he turns 8, the age the first Adam died. At that point, as they say, "things start to go horribly wrong."
The first part of the film, showing the family and how they react to the tragedy, is promising, raising important questions about the ethics and the possibilities of cloning. But after the movie's second birthday party, it becomes just another horror movie. And an inept one at that, with two major cop-outs in the story line, including one that erases the movie's very premise.
Movies and other works of fiction can help us think through issues by imagining what they might mean in concrete terms | .

Lee Brice Petitions for CMAs Votes With Hilarious Viral Campaign Videos
Has Lee Brice petitioned to include his name as a last minute addition to the upcoming Presidential election ballot? Well… not quite, but the ‘Hard to Love’ singer has released a series of hilarious campaign videos, which spoof typical political warfare tactics in an effort to sway voters of his own. The ‘Hard to Love’ singer is hoping that when deciding the fate of the New Artist trophy for the upcoming CMA Awards ceremony, industry reps will choose him.
“From day one, my platform has been solid,” Brice says confidently in one funny clip. The singer appears cool, calm and collected as the camera pans away from his face, revealing a platform built with cases of beer. “My party is always open to everyone.”
In another campaigning video, Brice defends his position as the leading nominee. “There’s all this talk about Obama and Romney’s records, but quite frankly, I don’t know why they have to blast each others records,” Brice | observes. “I’ve never heard a record from either of them.”
“The message is clear. I do have a record,” he says, as he pulls out his 2012 ‘Hard to Love’ album. “And I am blessed to say that my record speaks for itself. The people have spoken. Every state has listened to my record, knows my record and has supported my record.”
He adds, “For that, I’m truly thankful.”
Brice has become a consistent hitmaker since first reaching No. | [

Some aspects of NBN anti-competitive, says PC
It’s a monopoly, what did you expect?
In the kind of decision that will go down in the annals of the astonishingly obvious, Australia’s Productivity Commission has found that some aspects of the National Broadband Network might be considered anti-competitive.
The report, by the PC’s Australian Government Competitive Neutrality Complaints Office, was sparked by complaints from small fibre operators specialising in builds in new housing estate.
The government’s competitive neutrality rules are designed to ensure that where government businesses are competing with the private sector, they do so on a fair and equal basis. For example, Australia Post would not be able to exploit its status of being government-owned to wipe Fedex off the map | .
The operators – OPENetworks, Comverge Networks and Service Elements – had complained that rather than acting as a “provider of last resort” in new housing estates, NBN Co was entering the market on a more active basis and undermining their businesses.

Christian Gourcuff's Merlus travel 80 miles north to the Stade Francis-Le-Ble in search of a first win in six outings, with the hosts winless in four.
Consecutive defeats at Lyon and Toulouse have done nothing to inspire the Brest faithful but Chauvin believes his men can provide reason to be cheerful with a positive result tomorrow.

Nine per cent of gamer kids are 'addicted'
Videogaming is a normal activity for teenagers, but one in 10 are actually "addicted" to the activity, a recent study claims.
A two-year study – details of which were published today in American journal Pediatrics – of more than 3,000 kids at a Singapore school claimed those rated as being addicted to games are also more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and experience a drop in their school grades.
To pinpoint addiction, teachers gave out questionnaires that asked the kids about their gaming as well as other aspects of their lives.
The questions centred on "hypothesised risk and protective factors for developing or overcoming pathological gaming... including weekly amount of game play, impulsivity, social competence, depression, social phobia, anxiety and school performance".
Based on these factors, the research team were able to spot those kids they believe are addicted.
On average, kids play games for 20 hours a week, and up to 12 per cent of boys and five per cent of girls qualify as addicted as defined by the study.
Dr Douglas Gentile, who heads up the Media Research Lab in Iowa State University and is linked to the college's | Department of Psychology, worked on the study and told Reuters that those who played longer hours had poorer social skills and were at a higher risk of becoming addicted over the two-year period.
He also believes that, though the study doesn't show a direct link, such unhealthy gaming habits fuels kids' mental | [

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE to travel. Although it costs me an arm and a leg (quite literally) I really don’t care and I am always headed out the door for some new place searching for some new adventure. This year one of my dear friends Serine, one of the first Lulus.com employees and models moved away to begin a life in London and I decided I had to go visit her. Ironic that I only ended up in London for two days with her but I will be back to visit the UK soon enough!
SO, after spending all of my precious pennies on self indulgent adventures around the world I am here to show you just how important traveling is!!
FIRST STOP: Zadar, Croatia
I arrived in London to meet up with my traveling companion Chelsea after she’d just spent two weeks volunteering in rural Kenya.

Below is a picture of the harbor that welcomed us upon our arrival in Hvar, Croatia.
We head down the coast from Zadar to catch a ferry at our next destination in Split, Croatia after a night of much needed rest (I had been traveling without sleep for 2 days). FYI it takes about 1:30 hours to get from Zadar to Split where there are ferries that leave all the time to the islands nearby. Our destination was the island Hvar ( | [

Lincoln, Neb. - Nebraska's men's gymnastics team completed their first preseason intrasquad meet on Sunday. The two-time NCAA top ten team performed routines on floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and high bar.
Head Coach Chuck Chmleka said the first meet was critical for younger athletes, including freshmen Coleman Tokar, Ethan Lottman and Sam Chamberlain. Through the informal, two-day competition, freshmen and redshirts faced their nerves without the pressure of a regular season meet.
Judges scored teams on hits on each event. The White Team rose to the occasion, finishing just above the Red Team.
The Huskers impressed on all events individually, but saw a strong vaulting core performance. Each of the eight vaulters attempted a vault with a start value of 15.2 or higher. Three gymnasts finished the event posting a 15.0 or higher. Grant Perdue, the Big Red's only All American, claimed the top spot with a 15.25. He took the title on floor exercise as well.
"It's probably one of the strongest group of vaulters we've ever seen," said assistant coach John Robinson.
Team co-captain and NU's first Big Ten medalist | Eric Schryver claimed the top spot on pommel horse, while specialist Donovan Arndt took the lead on rings and sophomore Josh Ungar impressed on high bar.
Junior Wyatt Aycock returned to all-around competition, along with teammate CJ Schaaf. Aycock excelled in all six events, claiming the all around title, as well as the lead on parallel bars.

A Bit of Matter And A Little Bit More1976
Dir. Lawrence Weiner, Color Sound 00:23:00
"The male/female, subject/object investigation in A Bit of Matter and a Little Bit More does not have any titillating episodes leading up to it. The appetite is not whetted beforehand. Hardcore, the opening shot shows the crotch area of two bodies, male and female, engaged in coitus. The camera shifts to a point on the floor where a circle with arrow pointing to it are taped. (Perhaps a screwed up sex symbol?) Also on the floor are a hammer and a nail. Two people approach the circle. One of them picks up the hammer and drives the nail into the floor. They both walk to the corner of the room where there is a blanket. (Perhaps this action builds AN OBJECT SECURED UPON A THRESHOLD?)

Ambassador Mimi Rieger is offering a yoga class Saturday at the Georgetown Lululemon.
Nothing’s sweeter than free fitness classes. That’s what 23-year-old Rachel Stump thought last week when she got an email from Sweetgreen — the local purveyor of salads, fro-yo and juices — introducing Sweetgreen Passport.
The program invites the chain’s customers to try barre, cycling, yoga and other active pursuits with instructors who have been designated Sweetgreen ambassadors. By Friday evening, Stump was swinging kettlebells, bear crawling and pretending to cross-country ski at a Balance Gym boot camp led by Devin Maier.
“This is a lot of fun. He keeps you moving constantly,” said Stump, who normally bikes for exercise and appreciated the change of pace.
And Maier appreciated the new faces: “Their customers blend in with our members. They’re mindful of what they eat, want stuff sourced locally and support locally owned businesses.”
In Sweetgreen parlance, they’re looking for the “sweetlife,” explains director of experiential marketing Kyle Francis. Recognizing that fitness is a | key part of that package, he borrowed the ambassador idea from Lululemon, which provides apparel to select instructors in exchange for promotion.
He also borrowed most of his ambassadors from the Lululemon roster, and the companies co-sponsor several Passport events. That includes an Energetic Flow yoga class with Mimi Rieger and Rob Hess at 5 p.m. this Saturday at the Georgetown Lululemon store. (It’s one of the few events that costs money, but the $25 charge also includes food and drink.)

Zogby Poll Shows Dramatic Jump in Number of Americans Who Favor Teaching Both Sides of Evolution
A new Zogby poll on the eve of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday shows a dramatic rise in the number of Americans who agree that when biology teachers teach the scientific evidence for Darwin's theory of evolution, they also should teach the scientific evidence against it. Surprisingly, the poll also shows overwhelming support among self-identified Democrats and liberals for academic freedom to discuss the "strengths and weaknesses" evolution.
Over 78% of likely voters agree with teaching both the evidence for and against Darwin's theory, according to the new national poll.
"This represents a dramatic 9-point jump from 2006, when only 69% of respondents in a similar poll favored teaching both sides," said Discovery Institute's Dr. John West. "At the same time, the number of likely voters who support teaching only the evidence that favors evolution dropped 7 points from 21% in 2006 to 14.4% in 2009.
"We need to change Darwin Day to Academic Freedom Day because just when Darwinists are celebrating evolution | 's triumph, this poll shows that they have been losing the public debate over whether students need to hear both sides," added West.

Charles Mingus' monumental masterpiece "Epitaph" never saw the light of day during his lifetime. But the tempestuous jazz legend left his ambitious score to be discovered by new generations. Hear the full piece, a 2 1/2-hour affair for 31 musicians.
As creative chair for jazz at the Los Angeles Philharmonic, bass player Christian McBride gets to program four concerts a year. The moment he got the job, he put Charles Mingus' monumental, 2 1/2-hour jazz symphony "Epitaph" at the top of his list.
"When you hear Mingus' music, that's about as advanced as you can get," McBride says. "But it's always rooted — it's always coming out of that real indigenous black tradition. I'm talking about, like, work songs and gospel, you know, all the way up through Ellington, all the way up through the strife of the '60s. All of that is in his music."
Jazz historian and composer Gunther Schuller conducted the entire concert in front of a 31-piece jazz orchestra. He says that Charles Mingus was a man of many moods — and that he sees them in the very | fabric of Mingus' masterpiece.
"I knew him quite well," Schuller says. "He could be as gentle as a baby, and he could also be so full of tantrums and explosive and angry, and all of this range of feelings is in this piece. It's all there: It's like a musical picture of Mingus' personality — from the most beautiful gentle ballads, lyric pieces, to these extremely chaotic, disorganized, wild pieces."
