What's the next best thing to sleeping under the same roof as the man People magazine twice named the sexiest man alive? Living in his house, of course! That's right folks, Brad Pitt, who is known for his personal life as much as his acting career, just listed his Malibu beach house for $13.75 million.
In March 2005 aka post-Jen and pre-Angie (and kids) phase, Brad shelled out $8.41 million for this contemporary oceanfront bachelor pad located on a cliff top in Malibu. The swanky crib measures 4,088 square feet and features four bedrooms (obviously not enough room for the Pitt-Jolie clan), four baths, three fireplaces, beach access, a tennis court, bamboo flooring, and tons of lavish amenities. The actor himself, who has been known to indulge in architecture and design, spent much time and undoubtedly countless dollars to transform and redesign this 1962 home.
Brad and his baby mama spend most of their time traveling the world, and when they're not country-hopping, the couple and their brood set up camp at a Chateau in the South of France. Brad's bachelor days are long gone, so we doubt he'll miss this beach front abode all that much!

Yesterday's announcement that President Obama can't find the time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later this month risks sending a disastrously wrong message: Obama believes that America's scariest Mideast problem is Israel, not the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.
The shocking news from the White House yesterday came after days of increasingly bitter public exchanges between Washington and Jerusalem.
As I wrote last week, Bibi has been eagerly anticipating a sit-down with Obama late this month, when both are in town to address the UN General Assembly. If the president's going to put off a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities — a delay that risks leaving Israel unable to do the job alone — Netanyahu wants some firm commitment that America will do the job if diplomacy fails.
Yesterday morning, with the White House still officially trying to schedule the meeting, Netanyahu went public: If Obama wants to prevent Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear facilities in the last two months of the US campaign season, he better spell out his Iran red lines.
Yes, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had said Monday: Sorry — no red lines coming. Netanyahu's answer yesterday: "Those in the international community who refuse to put a red line before Iran don't have the moral right to place a red light before Israel."
And that yielded yesterday afternoon's word from the White House: It just won't be practical for Obama to meet Netanyahu.
In other words: Nothing doin', buddy. Wait your turn. Stop worrying.
There's no official refusal to meet, of course. Too many pro-Israel voters live in places like Florida and Ohio for the White House to do that.
Bam and Bibi are "simply not in the city at the same time," insists National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor. He adds that Netanyahu, who is in constant touch with Obama, "will meet with other senior officials, including Secretary Clinton, during his visit."
OK, Obama is to address the UN General Assembly on Sept. 25, then leave town. Because of Yom Kippur, Netanyahu only arrives in New York two days later.
But my Jerusalem sources confirm the obvious: Bibi would certainly go to Washington to meet Obama. There's a 30-hour window before the prime minister heads home. (Presumably, if Obama's off campaigning in Ohio, Bibi could fly there, too.)
Maybe Obama's just avoiding a powwow because, after last week's "no Jerusalem" debacle at the Democratic convention, the last thing he needs is a sour-faced photo-op with pesky Netanyahu, who keeps bugging him about Iran.
But the stakes are different for Netanyahu: As the Associated Press reported yesterday, the International Atomic Energy Agency has received "new and significant intelligence over the past month that Iran has moved further toward the ability to build a nuclear weapon."
Ability-schmability, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told CBS: America has the power to "do what we have to do to try to stop [Iran] from developing nuclear weapons" — which he insisted won't happen for at least a year yet.
We have "pretty good intelligence" on Iran, Panetta added, so we'd know when they'll actually decide to go nuclear.
Huh? The record of the US intelligence community is pretty rotten on this front: We failed to know in advance when North Korea, India and Pakistan tested their devices.
And America has never acted militarily to stop rogue nations from getting the bomb. Israel has, twice.
But this time Jerusalem increasingly believes it must act soon: Tehran is moving more and more of its nuclear program into hardened bases that Israeli forces can't take out.
Hence the urgent request for Obama to set "red lines."
In fact, Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, a Netanyahu confidante, told me Monday that red lines — conditions for ending Iran diplomacy — aren't enough: "We also need a deadline," after which a Western military attack would become inevitable.
That's not just for Israeli ears, Steinitz said. "Even more so, the Iranian leadership needs to hear it." Such an ultimatum "is the only chance we have [to compel] the Iranians to change their minds and stop their military nuclear project."
Washington's answer: No red lines, no deadlines — and no Bibi-Bam sit-down (at least not until Nov. 7).
The longer this escalates, the greater the chance that Israel will feel cornered — forced to act, rather than wait for a more cooperative mood in Washington.
This ugly US-Israel rift is bad news for everyone except the Iranian regime. Fixing it can't be put off until after Election Day.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- One way to think about this year's election is as a contest between the impact of a sour economy (advantage Romney) and the power of the nation's shifting demographics (advantage Obama).
Put simply, the groups that support President Barack Obama most strongly -- blacks, Hispanics, young people, unmarried women -- have been growing as a share of the electorate. Those who support Mitt Romney the most -- white working men and older people -- have not.
This demographic tide is so strong that some Democrats came away from their 2008 victory feeling that a political reordering was in the works that could be as important as the New Deal realignment that ushered in a generation of Democratic strength after the Great Depression.
The Great Recession put a deep dent in that hope of theirs, as it soured most other optimism around America.
But now both Republicans and Democrats see that the demographic tide is still running. But it is running into the effects of the bad economy.
As Republicans convened here this week, Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, issued a warning to his fellow Republicans. Perhaps the economic hard times would get them through this year. But soon they would have to face the longer-term implications of America's population shifts.
"Our demographics are changing, and we have to change. Not necessarily our core beliefs, but the tone of our message and the message and the intensity of it for sure," Bush said. "I don't think that's going to have an impact in this election though. . But long-term, conservative principles, if they're to be successful and implemented, there has to be a concerted effort to reach out to a much broader audience than we do today."
DEMOCRATS ARE hoping Bush is wrong about the impact this year. In fact, it could be said they are hoping the continuing demographic shifts will salvage Obama from the wreckage of the economy.
Charles Cook, one of the country's foremost analysts of election trends, says that basic public opinion about the election has been so stable now for so many months "that the makeup of the electorate is one of the few critical questions."
There are different ways to express the changes that electoral makeup is undergoing.
The percentage of the electorate that is white and not of Hispanic origin has been dropping steadily. It was about 90 percent of the vote in the 1970s. By 2008 it was 74 percent. The white vote has declined an average of 3 points each presidential election since 1992.
Will the trend continue into 2012?
Yes, concludes a study by a liberal think tank that looked at census data in battleground states. The researchers, Ruy Teixeira and John Halpin of the Center for American Progress, combined declines in the white electorate (3 percent) with growth among blacks and Hispanics (2 percent) as well as college-educated whites (1 percent), who are more sympathetic to Democrats than white voters in general. That produced a total swing of 6 percent toward voters more likely to favor Obama.
But demographics are not always destiny. Population trends don't actually register voters or bring them to the polls. The drubbing Democrats took in 2010 was largely explained by the very low turnout among some of their normally loyalist voters. Young voters who helped elect Obama in 2008 stayed away in droves at the midterm. So did blacks and Hispanics
The same thing could happen this year. "Will Democratic apathy and Republican energy make the electorate much more conservative leaning than its underlying demographics would suggest?" Teixera and Halpin asked.
That question is driving both sides, and the effects can be seen everywhere in the presidential campaign.
Just Wednesday, Obama campaigned among University of Virginia students in Charlottesville, one of three college-town appearances he is making in a week to gin up enthusiasm among young voters.
"Go out there, register," he implored the students, "Stand up. If you do, we will win Virginia and if we win Virginia we will win this election and we will finish what we started."
Paul Ryan, in his convention address, was direct in his effort to appeal to younger voters, making fun of Romney's music tastes and painting a biting image of the economic malaise: "College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life."
Meantime, Ann Romney went to the Latino Coalition lunch here at the Republican convention, part of a concerted Republican effort to reduce Obama's margins among Hispanics. "I admire your community so much because I know how much you value family and what sacrifices you make for your families," she said.
She stressed the Republican theme that Obama was unsympathetic to small business. "The Latino community is the huge engine of small business," she said, and "they are mistaken if they think they are going to be better off" if Obama is re-elected.
REVIVING THE economy is an appeal Republicans hope will be heard by all voters, including those who have leaned Democratic. The downturn hit everyone, after all. Pat Mullins, Republican chair in Virginia, said party polling had found that Hispanic voters were less worried about immigration policy than unemployment.
"They're concerned about the same things we are -- that their kids have the advantage to better themselves," he said. "That's what they moved here for."
But around the convention there is a palpable subtext, exemplified by Jeb Bush, that just relying on the economic message was a recipe for trouble, certainly in the long term. "We need to start being certain these various communities have leadership roles," Mullins said.
The question of roles sparked some blunt exchanges this week.
The chairman of next week's Democratic National Convention, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, took a shot at the Republicans for lining up a string of minority speakers at the opening night of the convention. "You can't just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people are going to vote for your party or your candidate," Villaraigosa said.
Indeed, the racial fault lines between the parties are creating conversations that are not always pretty.
A search for black faces at the Republican convention has become a kind of game on Twitter under the hashtag "negrospotting." The pop singer Clay Aiken wrote that he and his brother had been watching and taking a drink each time they spotted a black face and were, as their hashtag put it, "soberasamormon." This prompted the country star John Rich to tweet that Aiken "should be ashamed for racist comments like that."
The Republican Party says delegates aren't asked to identify their race, so they don't know how many are black. The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, which has been counting just that since 1974, says there are 46 black delegates, or about 2 percent.
And when it comes to Hispanics, Romney hurt himself during the primaries, particularly when he refused to support Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's legislation to address the problem of young illegal aliens who were brought to the United States by their parents and have lived here for years, gone to school and built lives but remain illegal. Obama then outmaneuvered Romney by unilaterally suspending deportations of these residents.
To counter this, Romney took a step that reflects the very notion Jeb Bush raised -- to look at the makeup of the electorate, shape the message and change its intensity. For his speech Thursday evening, the newly minted nominee has chosen someone to introduce him who reflects that changing demographic and can, not coincidentally, help to deliver it: Marco Rubio.

Advanced bearings for sub-sea and cryogenic pumps
Sub-sea screw pumps
The SKF bearing arrangement for each rotor consists of two CARB toroidal roller bearings to accommodate shaft deflection and axial displacement. A four-point angular contact ball bearing is used to locate the shaft axially. The bearings are constructed from SKF super-tough VC444 stainless steel, which features high amounts of nitrogen for superior fatigue and corrosion resistance.
Cryogenic pumpsGive the harsh operating conditions they must endure, it's no wonder that cryogenic bearing service life is often six months or less. The SKF cryogenic pump solution can help. Designed to handle and use various liquefied gases as a lubricant, this SKF solution is helping companies more than triple cryogenic bearing service life and significantly extend mean time between repairs.
The SKF cryogenic pump solution features VC444, a patented, specially heat-treated variant of SKF super-tough stainless steel that delivers excellent protection against corrosion, wear and fatigue. This solution also includes hybrid bearings – deep groove ball bearings with ceramic rolling elements – plus a flexible, single-piece glass fiber reinforced PEEK (polyetheretherketone) cage.
SKF extreme-environment pump solutions can help:
- Cut maintenance and operating costs
- Avoid critical pump failures
- Reduce unplanned downtime
- Minimize production losses
- Help extend pump service life
- Increase worker safety

I need a way to filter out resumes of folks who just copy-and-paste code then hope it works, and check it in if it does. All this happens without having an understanding (or care) to understand the rest of the code in the system.
Sure I know that copying and pasting code is part of learning a new object, control, etc... but how can one tell if that accounts for 70% (or more) of their development career?
I've come across some senior level guys perhaps whose skills are so outdated or irrelevant for the project, that all they do is google, copy-then-paste some code without thinking about the solution as a whole. As a result we have a mismash of JSON, AJAX, callbacks, ASMX, WCF and postbacks in the same project. It is clear there is no consistency or logic behind where each technology is being used.
In the worst case, this type of developer creates security issues and vectors for attack.
How would you recommend I filter out people who have a poor programming background? Can I do it at the resume level? If not, how do I do this during the interview.

Adele made what should have been her triumphant return to the Grammys, but the mega-selling singer's performance proved a disappointment to TV viewers when it was plagued by sound problems.
Social media exploded Monday night with complaints about the quality, with some posters saying Adele looked distracted by her onstage monitor.
A CBS spokesperson confirmed there was a five-to-eight second technical issue with the broadcast, adding without elaboration that it was outside the network's control. [[368874621,C]]
U.S. & World
Reps for Adele and the Recording Academy did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Inside the Staples Center, the Grammy audience gave Adele a standing ovation.
The songstress took to Twitter to spill the details on what really went wrong while she sang "All I Ask" off of her hit album, 25.
"The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that's what the guitar sound was," she explained.
"It made the sound out of tune. S--t happens." But the live blunder wasn't exactly all bad, really. "Because of it though…I'm treating myself to an In N Out. So maybe it was worth it," Adele added. [[368912381,C]]

This amazing ancient Greek Hydria with black figures is a high quality hand painted replica of the actual historic vessel from Athens.
Black-figure pottery painting, also known as the black-figure style or black-figure ceramic is one of the most modern styles for adorning antique Greek vases. It was especially common between the 7th and 5th centuries BC, although there are specimens dating as late as the 2nd century BC. Stylistically it can be distinguished from the preceding orientalizing period and the subsequent red-figure pottery style.
Figures and ornaments were painted on the body of the vessel using shapes and colors reminiscent of silhouettes. Delicate contours were incised into the paint before firing, and details could be reinforced and highlighted with opaque colors, usually white and red. The principal centers for this style were initially the commercial hub Corinth, and later Athens. Other important production sites are known to have been in Laconia, Boeotia, eastern Greece and Italy. Particularly in Italy individual styles developed which were at least in part intended for the Etruscan market. Greek black-figure vases were very popular with the Etruscans, as is evident from frequent imports. Greek artists created customized goods for the Etruscan market which differed in form and decor from their normal products. The Etruscans also developed their own black-figure ceramic industry oriented on Greek models.

The chapters in this book were conceived as step-by-step tutorials to be used in Rhinoceros courses for jewelry students and professionals. There was a perceived need for a written text that was jewelry industry specific so that students could review lessons and have a text for reference once the class was over and the real learning curve began.
Jewelry Designers can use Rhinoceros for both technical drawings/layouts and the building of 3D models for visualization.
Jewelry Model Makers are now able to build jewelry models on the computer, having them printed using prototyping technology.
First part of the book: The creation of technical drawings and layouts - tutorials cover creation and editing of basic lines and curves.
Second part of the book: Using knowledge gained from the first part of the book to create 3-dimensional jewelry objects.

It's been almost one month since the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star welcomed her second child into the world with husband Kanye West.
Ultimately, "Kardashian Dolls" are still eagerly waiting for that coveted (and likely adorable) first shot of baby Saint West. To help in the waiting game, Kardashian decided to give fans a glimpse into her son's life. [[364064201, C]]
"She said, 'He's my best friend,'" the proud mom wrote on Twitter Saturday afternoon as North West held her younger sibling's hands.
U.S. & World
PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian and North West's cutest pictures
So we may have to wait a little longer to see Saint West's handsome face. It's still, however, a nice surprise from a busy mom who has been more than a bit occupied raising two kids and celebrating the holidays.
"Kim and Kanye are tired, but are enjoying every moment they can with Saint," a source recently shared with E! News. "Kanye loves that there is a baby boy in the family now. Kanye is already thinking of melodies for baby Saint."
Our insider added, "Saint is a really happy baby. North and Kourtney's kids love seeing Saint. Kourtney and Koko are helping Kim and giving baby Saint major love." [[289629031, C]]
PHOTOS: Growing up Kim Kardashian style
With Christmas over and some of the Kardashian kids heading back to sleep, perhaps the time may be coming for Saint's official debut from mom.
In the meantime, we'll just trust grandma Kris Jenner when she says he's "so cute."
"He looks like North," she told E! News' Catt Sadler at the THR Women in Entertainment Breakfast. "He's delicious."
New episodes of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" air Sunday nights at 9 p.m. only on E!

Computers, phones, music, tablets, TVs (maybe) — and financial services? The list of businesses Apple has, or might, dominate, keeps growing — at least based on speculation. According to a new survey, if Apple were to open a bank, a lot of people could become financial switchers.And the time might be getting ripe. Google is trying hard to turn its Android phones into digital cash. Phones equipped with Google Wallet technology (similar to a "tap to pay" credit card) have been rolling out. And payment terminals that accept Google Wallet are popping up all over, such as Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Walgreens and The Gap. But these simply tie into bank accounts.
What if rival Apple (which doesn't even have digital payments yet) went one better and actually created a bank itself?
It may be far-fetched, but it might also be a hit. That's the conclusion from a fresh survey of 5,000 people in the U.S. and the U.K. by marketing and research consultancy KAE and online pollster Toluna.
Among them, 10 per cent said they would consider switching to a hypothetical Apple Bank. (No relation to the actual Apple Bank chain in the New York City area. You can already imagine the trademark lawsuits. Or perhaps it would just be called "iBank.") Not surprisingly, Apple customers would be even keener. In fact, 43 per cent are already up for it.
This says as much about how much people like Apple as about how little they like today's banks. Half of the possible switchers think that Apple would make their accounts easier to access and manage. Two-thirds said that trust in Apple would be the main motivation. Only 30 per cent of Americans trust banks, according the latest (Jan. 26) Financial Trust Index by the Chicago Booth/Kellogg School. And many Americans would probably be eager to jump ship. Also on Jan. 26, Javelin Strategy and Research estimated that 5.6 million people have switched banks in the preceding three months. (Eleven per cent were motivated by Occupy Wall Street's "Bank Transfer Day" campaign.)
The high level of trust in Apple hints that all the bruising reports and protests about labour practices in China haven't had such a bad effect. (Even most protesters admit to being Apple fans.) In fact, Apple ranked as the most-trusted brand in a February report from polling firm Harris Interactive. (Google was just a bit behind.)
Any move into finance might still be tough. According to another Harris study from February, just a quarter of Americans would trust even using digital payments. But Apple often gets people to think different about how they use their money — for example, paying for music from iTunes, which launched in the glory days of pirated MP3s.
Speaking of iTunes, the service could give Apple a head start in banking. At least 200 million people already use the service. Would it be such a big step to go from an iTunes account to an iBank account?

I got my new position when a well-loved and well-respected librarian decided it was time to retire. Needless to say, being the new girl on the block is going to be a challenge. Not only am I unsure of exactly how my predecessor ran the library day-to-day, I'm unsure about what expectations the administrators, teachers and students will have for our daily activities. Do they want me to read to their classes every day, coordinate the administration of AR tests, conduct specific research projects, continue traditional programs, and if I should continue traditional programs, what are they?
In the 21st Century, the role of librarian, and especially the role of school librarian, is evolving. Personally, it is extremely important to me to support instruction. If supporting instruction means helping to reinforce skills, that's what I'll do; if it means developing reading programs, that's what I'll do. I also see plenty of room to teach digital citizenship, multimedia and visual skills as related to the Common Core Initiative, and let's not forget communicating just a love for reading.
I know I'll do things that people aren't sure about – especially since they were used to a certain style. And while I want to protect traditions that are important, I also want to bring in new things if I can.
I have been thinking a lot about how I am going to introduce myself and how I will figure out what is important to people. To do that, I need to make connections with faculty/staff, students and parents.
To begin getting to know the staff, I've tried to reach out some first. Shortly after being offered the job, I attended two days of professional development, and did my best to talk to the teachers who were in attendance and listen to things that they thought they would need. On the first day I was able to get into the library, (which by the way is under major construction) I made an effort to meet the custodians. Since I am really terrible with names, I dug out a copy of the most recent yearbook to flip through and study up on…it's sitting on my desk waiting for more review. Finally, I typed up an introductory faculty newsletter to email out. In the newsletter, I introduced myself, shared some of the policies I thought teachers would be most curious about and shared my favorite resources. As soon as I get a new printer and my copy code, I'll copy it and put it in their mailboxes as a backup. In the email I sent, I also directed faculty to a teacher resource web page I created. Some of the links are a bit old, but if I get a lot of feedback about it, I'll make a greater effort to update it.
For students I want them to get to know me, as much as I get to know them. At Back to School Night, I created a Pinterest inspired give- away. On my handout I included a QR Codes that led students (and parents) to my website where I included an avatar challenge that will encourage students to explore the website and create an avatar that will help me to get to know a little about them.
|My Back to School giveaway - Blow Pops and a learning challenge.
I was lucky enough to be able to have my teacher website from my previous school transferred to my new school, so, I've already worked a little to update links and content, just in case someone happens to stop by the school web page and see it. Although school isn't in session yet, I also created a PowToon presentation about myself (I'll do a write up of PowToon in the future!). I added a link to the website – just in case, and I'm also going to forward the link to teachers and parents of students I know go to the school so they can share it with their students. Getting to know all the kids, for me, will be a bit of a challenge. I think the yearbook will help with this a bit, but my greatest tool will be making seating charts ahead of time. In the past I have also printed library cards with names and barcodes. Students wear the cards in a plastic name badge on their shirts or around their necks on a lanyard, and I can quickly reference their name (and scan them for checkout). I have really loved this in the past, but I'm not sure if this will work at my new school. I need to give this a bit more thought I think.
Getting to know parents will be a challenge since I won't see them very often. I want to make sure I parents feel welcome to visit the library or to contact me. I have already written up my first checkout letter and have added a QR Code for easy website access. Additionally, as soon as I have my new teacher training, I plan to develop a Facebook fan page to use to promote activities in the library (Update - it's all up and running!). At my last school, this was a very successful way tp sending out quick communication and sharing fun pictures of activities. I'll link the fan page on my web page and also send out additional communication with QR codes to parents to spread the word about the page.
What are some of the ideas you have to get acquainted with a new school community?

PARIS — France, Germany and the U.N. agency charged with fighting AIDS disagreed with the pope's comment about condoms, saying Wednesday that they are a fundamental tool in preventing the spread of the HIV virus.
France "expresses its very strong concern about the consequences of the statements by Benedict XVI," French Foreign Ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier said.
France is a traditionally Catholic country but is relatively liberal on social issues such as birth control.
During his first visit to Africa as pope, Benedict said in Cameroon Tuesday that the distribution of condoms could endanger public health and that they are not the solution to the fight against AIDS. "On the contrary, it increases the problem," the pope said.
"While it is not up to us to pass judgment on the doctrine of the Church, we consider that these statements endanger public health policies and the imperative to protect human life," Chevallier told an online briefing Wednesday.
"Along with information, education and testing, the condom is a fundamental element of actions to prevent transmission of the AIDS virus," he said.
Stance on condoms
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said Wednesday that the pope was expressing a long-standing Vatican position, and that Benedict wanted to stress that a reliance on condoms distracted from the need for proper education in sexual conduct.
The Roman Catholic Church rejects the use of condoms as part of its overall teaching against artificial contraception.
In Berlin, German Health Minister Ulla Schmidt and Development Minister Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul issued a joint declaration criticizing the pope's comments and underlining the importance of condom use in developing nations.
"Condoms save lives, in Europe as well as on other continents," the ministers said. "Modern assistance to the developing world today must make access to family planning available to the poorest of the poor — especially the use of condoms. Anything else would be irresponsible."
In Geneva, the U.N. AIDS fighting agency said that condoms are an important part of efforts against AIDS. It said prevention includes receiving information about the virus that causes AIDS, being faithful to one partner and other measures.
'Statements are terribly harmful'
In a statement, UNAIDS said countries should use all available strategies to prevent the more than 7,400 new HIV infections every day worldwide. It made no mention of the pope, but the statement came the day after Benedict's comments.
The head of the Global Fund, a Geneva-based group that raises money to fight AIDS, urged the pope to retract his comments.
"I think Africa, which is hit so hard (by AIDS), did not need this message," Michel Kazatchkine said on France's RTL radio. "Negationist statements are terribly harmful."
A conservative French government minister took the opposite stance.
"You are not going to expect the pope to say you must wear a condom," Christine Boutin, a practicing Catholic who has spoken out against France's liberal social policies in the past, said on RTL radio.
"It is not fun to put on a condom when you make love," she said.

Mentoring Helps Overcome Poverty
COLUMBIA - Roshall Harvey spends her weekends cleaning up her house and spending time with her daughters, but just a few years ago she was living in a shelter while her girls stayed with an older sibling.
While at the shelter, a case worker gave her the number to Love INC in Columbia. She called and eventually sat down with a life coach.
"At first, I was like 'this woman is not gonna want to hear this mess,'" said Harvey. "I went in there and I just poured out everything."
With the help of that life coach, Harvey has since gotten sober, got a job, and has a place to call home - but it came with a lot of work.
"My life coach was very stern with me, and I needed that," Harvey said.
Tim Rich, Executive Director of the Heart of Missouri United Way, says mentorship programs like the one Harvey found through Love INC are crucial to helping people get out of poverty.
"You have to partner people together. We need people who will walk with us through life if we're walking out of poverty to teach us how the world operates today, and how we can achieve a greater livelihood," Rich said.
He finds people who face generational poverty also often face depression, another big hurdle.
"When you don't feel that there is any way out, there's any way for you to achieve more; when you have to spend your emotional energy as well as your physical energy just putting the basics on your table and in your household, it becomes very difficult to dream about what life could be," said Rich.
That's where Harvey's mentor made a difference. She no longer feels like she's alone.
"Now I can pick up the phone, and say to my life coach, 'hey this is going on. What do you think i should do about this?" said Harvey.
"They're my family, and I couldn't trade them for nothing in the world."
Through Love INC, Harvey has also taken several classes on parenting, managing money, cooking and nutrition.
For more information on Love INC programs, click here.
Other groups in Columbia that offer mentoring services including Granny's House, Boys and Girls Club, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

In popular free iPhone app 1to50, players have to sequentially press the numbers one through fifty as fast as they possibly can. No one is ever going to be this robot's score.
1to50 is a game that's all about counting. The timer starts and you've got to count with your fingers to press randomly placed numbers first from one to twenty-five and then from twenty-six to fifty. It's a simple little diversion meant to test the cognitive abilities and dexterity of human beings.
And a robot just kicked its ass.
The Adept Quattro, a GLaDOS-looking device with four spindly arms, was built to perform precision tasks extremely quickly.
It looks like it's proven itself here. Let's see if any of us meatbags can knock it off the leaderboards.

A handwritten working manuscript of Bruce Springsteen's 1975 hit "Born to Run" will be offered at auction on Dec. 5, with a presale estimate of $70,000 to $100,000, Sotheby's said Wednesday.
The seller was not revealed. The auction house said the document used to be in the collection of Springsteen's former manager, Mike Appel.
Sotheby's said most of the lines in this 1974 version, written in Long Branch, N.J., are apparently unpublished and unrecorded, but the manuscript does include "a nearly perfected chorus."
U.S. & World
Springsteen's thought process, written in blue ink on an 8½-by-11 sheet of ruled notepaper, looks like this:
"This town'll rip the (out your) bones from yourback / it's a suicide trap (rap) (it's a trap to catchthe young) your dead unless / you get out (we gotto) while your young so (come on! / with) take myhand cause tramps / like us baby we were born to run."
"The imagery and tone are constant from the present manuscript to the final song," the auctioneer said.
There are also some words in the margins: "Wild" and "Angels" and a word that looks like "velocity," with the letter "t'' in Springsteen's curlicue cursive.
"Although Springsteen is known to have an intensive drafting process, few manuscripts of 'Born to Run' are available, with the present example being one of only two identified that include the most famous lines in the song," Sotheby's said.
The document will be part of a Manhattan sale of fine books and manuscripts.

Meet & Eat: Mark Rajeski of Brands of Britain, Importer of Fever Tree
Mark Rajeski is the president of Brands of Britain, the US importer for UK-based Fever Tree mixers. You've probably seen their tonic water, ginger ale, bitter lemon, club soda, and ginger beer in bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. Mark took some time to talk to us about why working with Fever Tree appealed to him and what makes these drinks so unique.
Name: Mark Rajeski
Occupation: President, Brands of Britain
Location: San Ramon, California
Website: www.brandsofbritain.com/fevertree.html
What inspired Fever Tree to focus on creating high-quality mixers? Recognizing a void in the market. The products are meant to be mixers—although people may enjoy ginger ale, for example, as a beverage on its own, the founders of Fever Tree—Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow—keep cocktails in mind when they're sourcing the ingredients and producing these products. They're designed to go well with the best bourbon and gin, and manufacturers of premium spirits have given us great feedback.
Did Rolls and Warrillow make homemade sodas before getting into the business? No. The way they came up with the product was very appealing to me; they realized there was a total disconnect with an ongoing movement towards premium and craft spirits and the mixer that people were using to create the cocktail. The mixers had just not kept pace at all with what was going on in the industry. They were both in the spirits world: Charles worked with a gin brand and he realized, tasting his gin with some of the mixers on the market, that they didn't do his product any good at all, and that's likely where the idea originated.
Why is the the Cinchona Tree, in which quinine is found, known as the Fever Tree? When the British were in India, malaria was a problem. People would use the bark of the tree to treat malaria. One of the major symptoms of malaria was a high fever; hence, fever tree. That's how the gin and tonic came about—the British decided to put the quinine in a beverage, and created tonic water.
What makes your products different from others on the market? Sometimes the best products and ingredients aren't easily accessible. Our quinine is a good example of that; it's being sourced from the Congo/Rwandan border because they've discovered that's one of the best sources of quinine. The second is that we do not use any high fructose corn syrup; we use pure cane sugar, so you get a much sharper, crisper taste. We don't use any preservatives—no sodium benzoate, which many of the major brands have.
Can you tell us about your ginger ale? What separates our ginger ale is a number of things, including our use of cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup, and there are a lot of ginger ales out on the market that use ginger flavorings. We use three different types of ginger, and it's fresh ginger that needs to be extracted and distilled within a very short period of time—they do it within 24 hours of being harvested.
Is that blend used in the ginger beer as well? Your ginger beer has an amazing spiciness. The ginger beer is much stronger. With ginger beer, the ginger is brewed, which is why it's called a beer, and you get a much more intense flavor, and the ginger isn't filtered out, it actually settles on the bottom of the bottle. The mixology crowd has found it to be great in drinks like the Dark and Stormy or the Moscow Mule.
What's next on the horizon for Fever Tree? Do you think fine mixers are here to stay? We started with all the major metro areas and we're continuing to roll out and expand into other areas, but we're basically pioneering this whole premium mixer category and there's still a lot of work and education to be done. As far as introducing new items, we're in the process of launching a large 500 milliliter bottle as there have been a lot of request for that at some of the high end restaurants and bars where they do bottle service. I don't think this is a passing trend. Obviously the mixology thing has helped us quite a bit; it's not just people slapping drinks together. People recognize that if you're going to buy a premium spirit at 25 or 30 dollars a bottle, the idea of mixing it with a low-grade product just doesn't make any sense. I've been managing brands for about 25 years and this is the most interesting thing I've been involved with.

Talk:Liberal stupidity
Human stupidity?
Perhaps I'm just displaying some "conservative stupidity," here, but it seems to me like that most of these are just examples of human stupidity that happen to be practiced by liberals in these cases. Examples: Misunderstanding geology, drunk driving, sexual affairs, incorrectly operating a phone, getting facts wrong. People of all beliefs do these things. KingHanksley 15:47, 6 May 2011 (EDT)
The bit about the windfarms is incorrect. I'm English, please note Americans, I am not "British", and thus ought to know. Will remove
- Explain. Karajou 09:35, 2 April 2012 (EDT)
I am the same user that posted above Karajou, I ended up blocked for some reason so had to recreate account on another computer because I couldn't work out how to contact an administrator. I meant to say the article seems to get the UK mixed up with Denmark on the windfarm issue
More edits needed

A court has rejected an appeal by a member of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot against a previous court ruling that denied her an early release.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has served a year and a half out of her two-year prison sentence and was appealing for parole.
Along with two other band members, she was convicted of hooliganism following Pussy Riot's punk performance against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral last year.
U.S. & World
Representatives of the penal colony where Tolokonnikova is serving her term told the court that she should not be released because she never repented. The Pussy Riot member said that she would never plead guilty because she did the right thing.

A Lesson in Dental Hygiene at a Care Project in Argentina
Volunteers at the Copa de Leche care placement recently organized a lesson with the children to teach them the importance of brushing their teeth.
Copa de Leche is a dining hall located in a very poor neighborhood of Córdoba. The dining hall offers neighborhood children an afternoon snack, a drink, and a safe place to play. The volunteers not only prepare the snack and juice for the kids, but are also responsible for organizing activities for the children, from sports, games and arts & crafts.
Volunteers spend a lot of time with the kids at the Copa de Leche, and it was noticed that many of the children have very dirty teeth and at a young age, were already losing teeth due to decay and lack of care. Our volunteers decided to turn this into a learning opportunity to educate the children on the importance of dental hygiene.
The volunteers made posters with illustrations of the mouth and the teeth. With the help of their volunteer coordinator they explained the importance of daily brushing. They showed them how to brush their teeth using the illustrations. They then look the lesson outside with glasses full of water, 45 toothbrushes and 45 very excited children.
The kids loved it as many had no idea how to clean their teeth. Luciana, a 6-year old girl was really happy with her new toothbrush. Ramiro, also six years old, showed us his very white teeth for the rest of the day and kept repeating: two times a day, in the morning and before going to bed. The day was a great success for both volunteers and children.

Nissan To Add Electric Vehicle Quick Charging At More Than 100 U.S. LEAF-Certified Dealerships
Quick charge units can recharge Nissan LEAF to 80 percent in about 30 minutes
Jul 08, 2013, 05:20 ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to speed the expansion of electric vehicle charging and build consumer awareness of the capability of the all-electric Nissan LEAF, Nissan will support installation of more than 100 DC quick chargers at LEAF-certified dealers in 21 key markets nationwide.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080506/NISSANBADGELOGO )
The units, which use the CHAdeMO standard, can charge the vehicle from depleted to about 80 percent in about 30 minutes.
Brendan Jones, director of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy, Nissan said: "Nissan is undertaking a proactive, multi-pronged approach to expand charging infrastructure to enhance awareness of electric cars like the LEAF and instill range confidence in potential customers. We know that available charging infrastructure opens the doors for more Nissan LEAF sales."
This quick charging initiative follows a 24-dealer pilot program, which Nissan rolled out at dealerships in the markets of San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Seattle. During the pilot, Nissan has been able to study the frequency of use for the chargers and the impact that charging has on the dealer's operations.
"We are located at the intersection of two of the country's busiest freeways, so having a quick charger available for the thousands of commuters who drive by us every day is a boon for business," said Richard Luengo, general manager, Nissan of Downtown Los Angeles, which is averaging about 10 charging sessions per day at its quick charger. "There is a steady stream of folks using the charger, and we've generated significant good will in the LEAF community. Over the past four months, our dealership has seen a marked improvement in sales, and some of that is clearly attributable to the new quick charger."
So far, the active chargers in the program have been popular. Since the pilot began, about 5,600 charging sessions have taken place, with each location averaging about 4.5 sessions per day. That figure has been steadily on the rise as awareness has increased. Over the period of June 21-July 1, the number of charging sessions increased about 12.5 percent compared to the previous two-week period.
Installation of new chargers will begin in east coast markets, starting this summer. By April 1, 2014, Nissan expects to have quick chargers installed and operational at 100 additional dealerships.
Nissan's charging partner AeroVironment will supply the quick chargers and will provide installation services for nearly all of the new quick charging units.

Retired A&M mascot Reveille VII dead at age 12
Reveille VII, a retired collie mascot at Texas A&M University, died Thursday, university officials confirmed.
The female canine retired in 2008 after about seven years on the job and had lived with a College Station couple, Paul and Tina Gardner.
Born in October 2000, Reveille was 12 years old, said Paul Gardner.
About three days ago, the dog seemed to be feeling ill, so the Gardners took her to the university veterinary hospital where she had received treatment since becoming mascot.
Not long after the staff examined her, they decided to do surgery to repair a hole in her digestive tract which had led to infection, Gardner said.
Although Reveille seemed to respond well the first couple days, "she had too much wrong with her" and had to be euthanized Thursday morning, he said.
Dr. Stacy Eckman, a staff member at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine who had been Reveille VII's regular veterinarian, said the team caring for the dog at the end had talked about putting her on a mechanical ventilator but opted instead to assist her breathing with a tube.
"There were multiple doctors involved in the decision," Eckman said. "We felt she would probably not survive coming off the ventilator to have any sort of quality of life."
Reveille was humanely euthanized about 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Eckman said.
Gardner, a 1966 A&M graduate and semi-retired financial planner, said Reveille enjoyed about an extra year of good health because she had received treatment for arthritis.
"She was Reveille right up to the end," he said.
As A&M mascots, the succession of dogs named Reveille appear at a host of events, from football games to weddings.
Reveille VI, who served as mascot from 1993 to 2001 and survived a prank dognapping, presumably at the hands of University of Texas students, was euthanized in October 2003 at age 10.
The first Reveille, a mixed breed rescued from the roadside in the early 1930s, earned her name by howling in response to the corps bugler as he played reveille to wake up the cadets, according to earlier Chronicle reports.
That dog died in January 1944 and received a formal military funeral on Kyle Field's 50-yard line.
The current mascot, Reveille VIII, was born in 2006.
